Nerwalk Gazette. Tuesday, December 19th, 1876. Fairfield County Items. WINNI'PAUK. The Sabbath School have completed their arrangements for the celebration Of Christ- mas eve. A Christmas tree, refreshments and music are on the programme, and as heretofore, on like occasions, there will be a good time. Next Saturday evening “is the time" and the School House “is the place.” Robert Ells & Son, have during the past week, harvested :1. large crop of remarkably solid ice. They are making preparations for the enlargement of their houses, their pres- ent storage room being inadequate to store the amount necessary to supply the demand. On Friday evenings during the past two .weeks a praying band from the Norwalk churches have held meetings at the School House. They have been well attended, after this week they will be held regularly on the same evening and at the same place. In consequence of the services of the Sab- bath School on Saturday evening at the School House, the Library will be opened on Friday next for the exchange of books. It is understood that necessary repairs will cause the stoppage of the Lounsbury, Bissell & lo’s Mill for a few days after Christmas. The public school will have a week’s va- cation during the Holidays. The closing ex— ercises next Friday afternOon, will be inter- esting, the teachers have invited the parents to be. present go, and encourage both teach- er and pupil by your present. John Gould who edited the short lived but excellent “Home Gazette” at Fishkill, N. Y., some years ago, and now of the “Criterion” of New York, was in town a few (lays ago, evidently on business. A little son of James Rielly while tickling the hind legs of a horse last week, received a gentle reminder that such a procecdure was disagreeable by receiving a kick in th face, nothing very serious, however, but enough for one lesson. , A petitition for the “enactment of a Law that no place for the sale of intoxicating drinks shall be licensed in any locality with— out the consent of the majority of the voters and of women ever eighteen years Of age in that locality such consent to be expressed by their signatures to a petition for such license” is being circulated here and is receiving many signatures. The Commonwealth, of Hartford, the organ of the prohibition party of the State, has suspended publication, for want of sufficient support. As was predicted, eflbrts to hoodwink Re— publican Temperance men to benefit the Democracy is the kind of prohibition that. don’t go down, and that was the kind ped— dled out by the Commonwealth. The regular meetings of Old Oaken Bucket Lodge, I. 0. of G. T., every Wednesday evening. Visiting members made wel- come. N. WILTON. On Sunday evening the 524th of December, being Clll‘lSIJltl =. evc, the Rev. Mr. Lubkcrt, Of Weston, wid give us a Christmas sermon at the Ilurlblut street School House, and we may expect aw. able one (he is highly capable) knowing this from listening to him times be- fore, and of last Sabbath evening in particu- lar. His text being in Ephesians, 6 Chap., from the 13th to 17th verse inclusive, from which he preached a most interesting sermon. All listened attentively, he holding the midi once over 50 minutes. An invitationis given to all. Come and hear his Christmas sermon. —-Vivi.l.\'. RIDGEFIELD. Sunday a. m., fie. 10th, mercury only two above zero. In spite of the cold, Col. Spraguc’s lecture was well attended. All who listened to him were well repaid for their extra exertions. lie is excelled bill. by few in the lecture field. Dec. 9th, as H. Smith with a companion was returning from apeddling route, and was descending a hill, a trace gave way, where- upon there commenced a series Of movements which resulted in a sudden fall of groceries. and in spite of Herber‘s exertions a runaway of horses and a complete wreck of his wagon. Smith and his companion escaped with some bruises. Moral. When a man boasts that horses cannot runaway from him, he had bel- ter be sure his harnesses are secure. We heartllat St. Stephen’s church proposes to give a series Of public entertainments this winter. The mercury was two degrees below zero, Sunday morning, for the first time this sea- son. The youngest son of Henry Johnson died Saturday night. Funeral Tuesday, 10 a. m., at the Congregational church. Rev. Mr. Hough, of Danbury, preached in the Congregational church last Sabbath. His subject in the morning was “Man a co-work- or with God.” In the afternoon he preached on “Heaven.” At a town meeting on Saturday, the sub- ject of building horse sheds back of the Town House, was agitated and defeated, by those who were to be the most bencfitted. If the people want to hear a good lecture, let them hear Mr. Gallaher, Thursday even- ing, at the Ridgefield Hall. \Ve are glad to see that Mr. Alonzo Bying- ton, who was temporarily with us during the summer, does not quite forget us, but is now and then seen on our streets. He thinks Ridgefield is a good place. Mr. Dykeman finds that insurance compa- nies are more ready to receive premiums than to pay for losses. There is now a prospect of coming to a settlement through a referee. The children of Mr. Taintor, of New York, who spent the summer here, have been poisoned with Paris green. They are be- lieved to be out of danger. Mr. Eben J elliff, who has lived alone for a number of years in a miserable hovel, was found dead in his bed, last Monday, Decem- ber lith. Verdict, death from unknown cause. BEDDING. Early Saturday morning, the 9th inst., a large barn belonging to Mr. Daniel G. Wood, on Coach’s Hill, was burned down, togeth- er with seven cows, 9. horse, several calves, seventy-five ions of liay,and farming tools, etc. . Mr. IVOOd had started for Bethel with milk, leaving his boy to feed the stock. The boy put the lantern on a beam, where it. was ordinarily placed, alid went up on the mow for hay,and does not know exactly how the fire began, as it was all a blaze, and beyond his control when he came down. He supposes that the lamp either burst, or was jarred off the beam by the slamming of the door. He immediately exerted himself to save what he could and succeeded in jettipg out thirteen cows, and a pair of oxen: The house also took fire several times, but the neighbors arriving, succeeded in extinguish- ing it. ” The loss is estimated at about $2500, with no insurance. It is a matter of great regret to friends and neighbors. And coming at this season of the year, it is a great interrup- tion to Mr. IVood’s business. Qi'is. STAMFORD: The Republicans fired a salute of 185 guns, on Thursday, in honor of the election of Hayes and Wheeler. Mr. T. Garland and wife, while racing horses, were thrown from their carriage with great violence. The lady was seriously in- jured, and Mr. G had a shoulder dislocated and sprained an ankle. The recent Methodist “medley” entertain— mcnt netted $300. The steam excavator and somb scows ar— rived in the canal a few days since, and will soon commence operations again. The canal is to be made deeper and every obstacle taken away that can interfere with navigation at any state of the tide. Rev. W. Tatlock preached the sermon be- fore the recent County Clerical Association, at. Bridgeport—Advocate. ,Society, we have now also a more juvenile WESTPORT. A lecture, proceeds for the benefit of the M. E. Church, will be delivered at Natiohal Hall, next Thursday evening by Rev. R. L. Dashiel, D. D., subject, “Situation wanted hr a gentleman‘s son.” Mrs. William II. Meeker lies dangerously ill at her residence. Her ailment is bronchi- tus. - Michael Pendergast, who received what was thought tobe fatal injuries under the car wheels at Saugatuck a few days since, is likely to recover. Mr. J Oscph G Hyatt, principal of the \Vest Saugatuck, (“Shererow”) school, is ill from a severe cold and cannot for a day or two, at- tend to his duties. His place is satisfactorily filled by Mrs. Hyatt. Mr. Charles Olmstead, a former resident of W‘stport, died suddenly this Monday morn- ing in Ridgcfield, aged about sixty years, Mr. Frank Andrews, who, for the past year and a half has been cruising among the coasts of the South Pacific returned to New York last week. Reaching IVestport again he will be able to tell us much we never knew about that far off region. As Christmas comes on Monday this year the greens must be hung in churches this week. Work in that direction is progressing. Wallace Meeker fell and dislocated an uncle Thursday. Upholstered seats and a new time table place the horse cars in condition to get through the winter. Here is the time table: Leave Westport for Railroad Depot at, 7:14, 3:48, and 10:35, a. 711;, 12:34, 1:32, 2:28, 3:50, 4:34, 0:03, 6:25, pm; Cold weather and two or three storms have proved how much horse cars are superior to stages. Ice harvesters are at work. The cakes new housing are from seven to eight inches in thickness. Dim). At his residence Dec. 14, M. F.. L. Hedenberg, in the 78th year of his age. Mr. I-Iedenberg had for many years occupied the Thorpe place in (‘onipo, on the East Side of the river Opposite the Spool Factory, and was well known to our citizens. Though in failing health for some time, it was not ex- pected that an illness of three or four hours would result in his demise. The funeral occurred at the house, Sunday, Revs. Relyea and Z. Davenport Officiating, and the remains were taken this (Monday) morning to Cypress Hill Cemetery, N. Y. for interment. At the annual communication of Temple Lodge, No 68, F. and A. M., Thursday even- ing at Masonic Hall, Officers for the ensuing year elected as follows: W. M., Theodore E. Smith, S. W., Albert Relyea, J. W., R. G. Skiff, Treas F. C. Foote, See. J. S. Jones, S. D., James A. Perry, J. D., P. R. Footc, S. 8., William Wilson, J. S., George Thorp, Tyler, Robert R. Snagg. Messrs. Theodore W. Werner, Wakeman B. Meeker, Daniel B Bradley. The ceremony will be performed in “due and ancient form” at the Lodge, Thursday evening next. The Coley town school District ’has been heard from again. In that district there al- ways is animation in school affairs. On the evening of Dec. 8th, a school meeting was held. Mr. Aaron R. Adams presided. .‘lIr. Candidates were balloted for. Mr. James S. Sherman and Jonathon C. Taylor, each re- ceiving eight votes. After some delay, caus— ed by the chairman’s doubt as to the right of his assuming so glaring a responsibility, he gave the deciding vote which resulted in Mr. Taylor’s favor. The friends of Mr. Sherman were dissatisfied and will seek to’ right their wrongs. They allege that the meeting was not legally called, the warning having been dated Dec. 4th, thus giving three, instead Of five days notice, and they also allege that, after the meeting adjourned the ballots pick- ed up from the floor gave Sherman ten and Taylor only seven. Ere another issue of the GAZETTE, Christ- mas tidc, with its wealth of presents for the little folks and many happy wishes for the old folks’ happiness will have come and gone. At this writing, on the 25th, trundled beds will be deserted. and front parlors be raided by happy expectants. May every little boy get. the club skates, and the little girls the great big doll so long inwardly wished for. PAI‘I. - WESTON. There are quite a number of clubs and societies here——political, temperance, social. Let me now tell you something about anoth- er one connected with the Military Institute of this place. The late reunion brought it more vividly home to the minds of present and former students. I allude to the Zeta Phi Society, which meets in a eosey little clubroom, and I think is organized for the purpose of moral, social and literary improvement as well as for the strengthening of the bonds of friend- ship. On the day after Thanksgiving two new members were initiated, Mr. C. W. Giles and C. P. Geddes, both now residing in New York. Its officers are: President E. F. Starin, Vice-President, H. G. Chapman) now a strident in Princeton College) Sec’y H. A. Post, Treasurer, C. A. Chappel (a young gentleman very ambitious and interested in everything that concerns the honor and repu- tation of the school). Marshall is R. Baxter and Americas A. E. Homann. The society is in a very flourishing condition and num- bers 23 members. The boys are ready to go home for the Holidays. The schools will be closed and we expect our town (at least our part of. it) will look rather deserted. One of the most creditable compositions (original) from the hands Of a young man that we have seen for a long time, was lately shown to your correspondent. It was written by Cadet Captain C. A. Chappcll, one of the students in Mr. Jarvis’ school. Two new members were lately initiated by the Welcome Division of Sons of Temperance one of them a young gentleman from the Institute. How it must have rejoiced the heart of our good friend and neighbor, Wm. H. Crofut, the worthy Patriach whose heart: is always beating warmly for those who are trying to shun the cup. ' The pastor of the Congregational church augmented the number of Good Templars last Thursday, making number 57 in this flourishing order. By the way the Never- sink Lodge has been compelled for want of room, to seek other quarters. They are going to move next Thursday to the room in Mr. Jarvis’ school house, which is also occu- pied on Wednesday evenings by the Sons of Temperance. As it is especially arranged for such purposes, we expect the change will be a pleasant one. May “Neversink and “Welcome” with one great aim and object in view, dwell together in harmony and work in unison for the suppression of evil. A great improvement hereabouts is the really comfortable and elegant mail stage be- tween here and your city. It is the most elegant thing we have yet had and as the mail carrier, Mr. Sylvester Lockwood is a very accommodating gentleman and charges exceedingly low prices, We most. heartily recommend this new means of conveyance to all such as are in need of it. And as the old birds sang, so warbled seen their young,” this old proverb is verified also with us. For in dutiful imitation of their older school-mates of the Zete Phi society of Delta Psi. which with the usual courtesy and generosity of Oiir General have been provided with a comfortable club room. Skating is good, and old and young enjoy it. , Tex Was. BRIDGEPORT. The cartridge shop is running night and day. Their present addition is nearly coni- pletcd and they will soon build another. Mr. John B. Brooks of East Bridgeport, has purchased an orange orchard and platitu- tion in Florida. He has recently built a yaent of'peculiar construction, desimcd for the navigation of the shallow inlandastrcams of Florida and will ship the same on the ves— sel with him. The city sinking fund commissioners are paying of $80,000 of city bonds.

A New-Englander,who owns a plantation in South-Western Georgia,whom Tile Baotou Journal vouches for as favorably known in its city, writes to a friend : “In this part of the country elections are a farce anyway. In this Congressional district there areal: least two Republicans to one Democrat and yet the Democratic candidate was elect- ed by at least two to one. Here in A——~ they bad, side by side, with two entrances, what they called a ‘white man’s box’ and a ‘negro box ;' but any negro who would vote the Democratic ticket was allowed to vote at the white man’s box without any questions being asked, while at the negro polling place all sorts of delays were occasioned by the Democratic officials in looking up tax receipts and going off to offices to look up tax lists, etc.,' So that at night, what with one means of delay and another, there were more than four hundred voters in line who had not voted when the polls were closed—besides a large number who had become discouraged and disgusted before night and gone home. This is the way the thing was done here in one of the most quiet and best portions of Georgia. A few days since a prominent Democrat said to me that the Democratic majority here was too large. He did not think it looked well. I replied that I thought not, since we all knew if the vote was allow- ed to be cast this district would be Republi- can by more than two to one.” _.._.i._._— I???
