RIDGEFIELD, ’

We are in a state of suspense.

The cornct band of Ridgefield serenaded
Aaron Lee and Matthew Belts, the Repre-
sentatives elect, Saturday evening. The idea
was an excellent one, and under the circum-
stances most commendable.

Over one hundred persons from this town
have visited the Centennial. One of them
had her pocket picked of a purse containing
several bills and her return ticket.

The new Town Hall is to be dedicated the
day after Thanksgiving. Natives of Ridge-
ficld wherever they may be, and all friends
of the town, are invited to be present. Ad-
dresses are expected from Prof. Cyrus Nor-
throp, James II. Olinstcad and others. Mu-
sic will add variety to the exercises.

All but 45 of the registered voters of the
town were at the polls Tuesday; a very
large vote.

The first. volume of J olinson‘s Cyclopedia,
has been procured for the. 'Whipstick and
(‘culer Schools. T

WILTON.
The Rev. Mr. Walter delivered one of his
_ able and instructive lectures, Sunday evening
last.

It is estimated that. one hundred Wilton
people have visited the Centennial. _

In way of improvements, Pimpawaug
Avenue takes the lcal. Mr. G. II. Gregory
isbuildingancw front fence. The Messrs.
llubbell have made numerous improvements
lay erecting new buildings, moving and re-
pairing old ones. Selectman Haines con-

~templates erecting a new barn during the
spring months.

The result of Tuesday’s election in \Vil—

~ ton was not very satisfactory to the adherents
of Tilden and Reform. A majority of 14
for Hayes and Ithcler and the election of a
lepublican Reprcscn'a'ive were fag-ts not
very consoling in themselves and hence
chafing under defeat the democracy make
charges of illegal voting, fraud, the. Mr.
Sturges, the Representative elect, is a native
of IVilLou, between fifty and sixty years of
age and a lawyer by profession. Mr. Sturges
has resided fora number of years in .. T:,
port, engaged in the practice of law. With:
iiia year or two he has returned to Wilton
where he now resides. Mr. S., we believe,
has had no legislative experience but the
activepracticc of law for a large number of
years has peculiarly fitted him to deal with
those questions ever recurring in a legisla-
tive body.

The Rev. Mr. Pettibone,of Constantinople,
occupied the pulpit of the Congregational
church, Sunday, in the interest of foreign
mission. Mr. P., in the course of his re-
marks, tlircw considerable light on the East-
e:n Question, showing that there aretwo sides
to this question. 110 gave abundant evidence
that the religious freedom in Turkey is
greater than that in some other nations who
plume themselves on their advancement in
the scale of civilization. He also said that
the Serviaus had no just cause for their war,
being in fact independent. Mr. P. advanced
the opinion that the cause of missionary
effort would prosper better under Turkish
rule than under Russian because the Turks
are more tolerant.

The Nod school-house, destroyed by fire
nearly ayear ago, has been replaced by a
superior structure and school commenced
under the instruction of Miss Aimie Hoyt.

WESTON.

Well, the election is over and we breathe a
little more freely though we must confess that
we are still in a rathgr painfully nervous
frame of mind, regarding the uncertainty as
to the ultimate result yet existing in our
midst. On \Vednesday every one was sure
that Uncle Samuel was the lucky candidate.
On Saturday however Hayes seemed to be in
ascendancy. Can you not in the Gazette
enlighten us to-morrow and drive away this
unpleasant uncertainty 2’

Prof. C. A. Cole and lady have gone on a
short trip to the city. They are expected
back at the Institute to-day.

The larger students of the Military Institute
had some target shooting on Saturday. “To
understand that the young gentleman, C. A,
Chappeli, has immortalized himself by hitting
the bull's eye. We hope that he may hit
ideas as well as the target and then success
in after life will (be sure to follow.

Our former townsman, Mr. Harry White,
was on a flying visit to our town last week.

They trip the light fantastic toe regulary
every Friday evening in the large dancing
room of the Military School, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Allen Tuck and assistants.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather
we learn there was no public temperance
meeting in Lyon’s Plains last Friday.

The house of Mr. W'm. Bedient was well
filled last Monday evening (6th inst,) not-
withstanding the rain. They had a social
temperance prayer meeting. There was good
singing and an earnest prayer by Miss Annie
Dykeinan, \V. V. T. of Nevcrsink Ledge,
Weston. These prayer meetings are to be held
weekly.

Our-Congregational Church will be rcpre-'
seated at ‘ the forthcoming conference of

Cong. Churches of Connecticut this week, in
New Haven, by the pastor who was appoint~
ed delegate yesterday.

The Centennial fever is over and it is time
to get ready for the Thanksgiving turkey.

STAMFORD.

John Classon was elected Judge of Pro-
bate over Samuel H. Cohen, (present incum-
bent,) by 153 maj. .

The Young Apollo Club sing in Stamford
this evening, 14th. -

Stamford polled 1982 votes, or 500 more
than the last Presidential election.

The repairs on the Congregational church
have been completed, and services were held
in tlic edifice last Sunday.

The republican victory in the face of 129
democratic majority last spring. and a major-
ity of the new voters made since, indicates
the liveliest kind of work on the part of the
republican voters in thetown.

A barn on the premises of F. A. Marden, -
Esq, was burned at an early hour on Wed-
nesday morning. The firemen were on hand
promptly, and confined the fire to. the barn.

Norwalk gave a generous and hearty sup-
port to our Stamford candidate for Senator
on the Republican side. It gave Oliver
Hoyt 118 majority—17 above the majority
for congressman, 5 above the majority for
President, and 11 above the-majority for
Governor. When Norwalk has a candidate
in the field we know the republicans of
Stamford will reciprocate—Stamford Ad—
vocate, ,

Much excitement is rife in North Stam-
ford over- a supposad poisoning case which oc-
curred on the 28111 ult. Just north of But-
tery hill lives a German family by the name
of Been, consisting .of'vtlie father, his wife
and daughter about sixteen years of age.
Things have not gone on smoothly there for
some time past, the girl alleging that her
father has treated her roughly, often taken
the cudgel to her. MrS. Been 'was absent
that week for a few days, the father and
daughter being left alone. Ellen, the daugh-
ter, went to Stamford and according to the
father’s story purchased a liberal supply of
paris green, Saturday morning an extraor-
dinary nice cup of coffee was prepared for
the old man by his daughter. lie drank it,
noticing at the same time a peculiar taste.
Soon after getting to work in the field, he
was taken with severe cramps and became
deadly sick, but vomiting ensued in a few
minutes and he got better. At night the
same kind hands furnished to him a pitcher
of cider. Ondrinking this he noticed the
same singular flavor, and experienced, as in
the morning, a terrible burning sensation in
the throat and stomach. and suffered the
most excruciating cramps and pains. Ile ac-
cused his daughter of killing him and laid
down todic. ' She listened in another room
until all was still, and the old man as she
thought dead, and then ran to a nieghbor’s
urging them to come over quick, as her
father was dead. But the old man had taken
each time an overdose of the deadly coin-
pound, and this time, after well-nigh dying,
he again vomited. Mrs. Been a’rrived home
and learned what had transpired. The
daughter had evidently lost faith in th'
poison and had not tried it again. Ellen is

said to' be very prepossessing in appearanee,
and seems hardly capable of committing such
a heinous crime. Rumor has it that her
, youngr inanjadinirer is mixed up in the affair

WESTPORT. .
The chs in Blue were out regularly 9’
nights the last week before election. and
wherever they ' went were well received.
Over in the “Farms" Friday evening they
were received, entertained and addressed by

several citizens. During the parade Monday
evening last, a large number 'of ' houses on

the line of march were elegantly decorated.
The ladies did it. As a class, they are right
on the political question.

Mr. Albert Relyca (dem.), was elected as
Westport’s representative in the new legisla-
ture, by a majority of 210—a compliment to
the young gentleman of which he is deserv-
ing, and which, no doubt, he will appreciate
by attending to any and all interests relating
tthis constituents. '

The reason why exultant democrats hoisted
a broom to the top of their hickory pole in the
village, \Vednesday morning after election, is
thus explained: they wanted folks to believe
they had made a clean sweep for Tilden and
reform (?), with their little stub. The agili-
ty with which the said sweeping implement
was “hoisted” down when news of Hayes
probable election came Thursday, was amus-
ing, and the moral effect of it should teach
that it is wise not to indulge 'in too much pre.
mature confidence.

The village bridge is finished and is really
a creditable structure, ' In a few days Mr.
Sessions will lay the rails across and the
horse cars will have their terminus on the
east side near the hotel. The delay in com-
pleting the bridge has caused much com-
plaint among merchants Twlio think their
trade has thereby been injured. Now let the
bridge be supplied with a proper number 6:
lamps.

Dr. 1". Powers is about to erect a'dwelling
on Myrtle Avenue between the fesidenecs of
J abcz Scribner and Miss Wood.

A majority of 159 where a majority of 250
was boasted of, is all the democracy can
claim as the answer of the people here to the
demand for “a change,” and reform.

At an adjourned town meeting held in
Sturgcs Hall Saturday,» Rev. A. N. .Lewis,
H. 11’. Lyon, Jas. S. Sherwood were declar-
ed as having been duly elected members of
the Board of School Visitors.

Asters and Chrysanthemums in many
colors beautified the altar of Christ Church
Sunday.

It now seems evident that stormy election
days are favorable to republicans. Demo-
crats acknowledge it this year, in Westport
any how.

A man named John Everett was brought
before Justice Lees last week, charged with
stealing $500 from one Cyrus Waterbury.
F‘rom the fact that $400 91' the money was
found on the accused, he was bound over to
the Superior Court for trial.

Great rush for New York papers Sunday
morning, but the reading didn’t electrify
democrats worth a cent.

The boys in blue, and the boys in white
acknowledge that Saugatuck, Compo and
Green’s Farm’s folks are the best entertainers
in town.

Four resident reformers (?) are hoping
Tilden will be declared elected. One of them
wants to be village post-master, another ex-
pects to become Railway Postal Clerk, a
third is looking for a clerkship of some com-
mittee in the 45th Congress, and a fourth
actually fancies Divine Providence framed,
and has for forty-four years been holding
him in the hollow of His hand for Envoy
Extraordinary to the Court of Spain.

Dr. R. C. M. Page came up from New
York, Tuesday and voted for Tilden without
challenge, but when Mr. Robert Holden,
who has voted in this town for over ' forty
years came from Bridgeport to vote for
Hayes, a democratic “nincompoop” entered
a protest. The Hayes ballot went into the
box notwithstanding.

The crazy movements of several democrats
around the polls Tuesday, trying to bring the
majority of the party up to the promised (?)
250, and the failure to raise it above 159, is
proof conclusive that the State lunatic asy-
luins have by no means received their just
due. '

There was fun in D. A. Salmon & Co’s
store, Wednesday evening. Republicans had
assembled to hear election news. Mr. Sahnon
had brought a late edition of or; evening pa.
per from New York, which had in it figures
which sent democratic calculations higher
than a kite, and placed the republicans down
on solid hard pan.” Democrats who were
prowling around outside, rushed in to refute,
if possible, the base printed fabrications. It
was not true, they said, that Tilden had fallen
off in southern states. He had more than
two hundred votes in the Electoral College
and would be the next president.
waxed loud,and one democrat was twitted by
a republican of tampering with ballots on
"election day to defeat certain candidates, and
in return he was charged with undue famil-
iarity with corner grocery peanut stands.
One thing led to another until the gentleniens
voices elevated to that pitch which, in music
is called forte, and such demi-semi-quavers as
liar, thief, cheat, scoundrel, villain, sneaky
were sent cro'tchcting from the scales of their
respective gamuts. The tenor of their
threats was full of base-ness. The meeting
adjourned to Bradley &Wheeler’s store, next
door, where the undersigned, with B. L.
Woodworth, A. S. Hurlbutt, O. I. Jones and
others continued discussing tee political situ-
ation. They were joined by a gentleman
whom we will designate the G. P. P.,—
“Great Political Predictor" of Westport. He
remarked that there was no doubt of Tilden‘s
election—that he, Tilden, had a majority
which no Republican Board of canvassers
could count out, and that in due time he
would take his seat aspresident. To this the
undersigned replied that it might be true, the
reformer (?) was elected but he would not be
inaugurated March 4th, 1977, and he (the un-
dersigned) would bet $5 on it. The G. P. P.
was willing to take that bet, and after bor-
rowing the requisite from among the crowd,
covered the amount which the undersigned
had placed on the counter. The undersigned
thereupon, when the money was fairly and
squarely up, coolly informed G. P. P. that
the 4th of March came on Sunday; that the
inauguration, as a consequence, must occur
on the 5th, and that the G. P. P. had lost the
bet, whereupon the G. P. P. made the quick-
est movement of his life by grabbing the $5
he had wagered before the undersigned could
lay hold of it. The shouts of laughter at
tlie_G.P.P.’s expense which followed were vo-
ciferous, startling good citizens away up Main
street, who were getting ready for bed, last-
ing long enough to convince the G. P. P.
that his adherence to betting pledges were
like the G. P. P.’s political predictions—rath-
er slimsy and thin.

Good observers looking at the democratic
banner suspended across Main street, east
side, claimed that Tilden‘s face elongates,
and that his jaw presents a chop-fallen look
as the returns favorable to Hayes come slow-
ly in from Florida and Louisiana.

A known democrat says : “Fraud charac-
terizes the republican party, had they’re
bound to count Hayes in whether he’s elect-
ed or not.” “Strike the trembling lyre.”

The visit of a member of the town Board
of Education to the school in Coleytown
district, and his rough chastisement of a
scholar there, is unfavorably commented on.

All district schools are to have the usual
'I‘hanksgiving vacation.

times there always was heavy draught on

The lower House of Congress will be very
equally divided, the democratic majority not
exceeding five or six. The Times estimates
that it will be even smaller than that—143 re-

to be elected are from N ew Hampshire and
both parties there are getting ready for a des-

all, worth fighting for. The contest in this

The total number of visitors at our Cen-
teutennial Exhibition was 8,004,214 for one
hundred and forty-six exhibition days. At
the Vienna. Exhibition, although there were
one hundred and eightysix exhibition days,
including Sundays—the days when the at-
tendance reached its highest figures—there
was a total attendance of only 3,492,622
paying visitors. At the Paris Exhibition in
1867 the paying attendance—including Sun-
days—was 8,805,969 in two hundred and
seventeen days. The paying attendance at
the LondonExhibition of 1851, which was
kept open for one hundred and forty-one
days. was 6,039,195; and at the London
Exhibition of 1862 there were 6,211,204 visi-
torsin one hundred and seventy-one days.

An Unanswenblo Argument.

The strongest argument which canl be urgd
against the advisability of administering such cor-
rosive and nerve-destroying poisons as arsenic
and quinine for intermittent sud remittent fevers,
is the vastly superior success in the prevention
and cure of such diseases of a medicine which is

the very antipode ot' the above named drugs, both
in respect of its composition' and the results
wrought by it. Each a medicine is Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, a .purely vegetable prc aration.
which not only eradicatcs with wonderfu promp-
titlide eycry trace of fever and agile, and kindred.
types 01 nialnrious. disease, from the system, but
use certain preventive of all maladies begotten ol‘
iniaamafialntcd air and water. These results min-
eral anti-febrile remedies do not effect with cer-

tainly, and their continued use entails consequen-
ces highly pernicious to the System. The Bitters,

establish health on a permanent basis.

A Norfolk, Va., correspondent gives a
graphic description of the primitive habits of
the peasantry thereabout. There is no need
of working there, he says. If a man has
energy enough to dig a worm, he can take a.
pin-hook and sit down on the wharf and
catch enough fish in one day to last him two.
If he is too lazy to dig a worm, he can tie a
piece of flannel rag on a. string and catch
enough crabs to last him a day or two; and
if he is too lazy to tie a piece of flannel to a
string, he lays down on his back on the sand
at ebb tide, opens his, mouth, and when the

 

tide comes. iii the grate run lilo it.

 

GASTORIA.

Cross, sickly babies and children, may enjoy
health, and mothers have rest, if they will use Clan
toria. Worms, feverishness, teething, wind colic,
sour stomach and undigested food make children
cross. and produces sickness.

Castoria will assimilate the food, expel worms,
and correct all these things. For twenty years
Dr. Pitcher experimented in his private practice
to produce an effective Catliurtic and stomach reg-
ulator which would be effective as Castor Oil,
without its unpleasant tastmr recoil.

The reputation of his experiment extended. Phy-
sicians and nurses rapidly adopted his remedy, to
which he gave the name of Castoria.

Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey, regu-
lates the stomach and bowels. and does not gripe.
It is adapted to all ages, contains no alcohol, and
is absolutely harmless to the most tender infant.
Try Castoriii. once, and you will never be without
it.
