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-

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.

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,

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,

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

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,

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.

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.

Interesting facts continue to come to light
about that “solid" 81,000 Democratic majori-
ty in Georgia. 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.”

The following is going the rounds of the
papers: “An Englishman of some note writes
to a Liverpool paper the remarkable state-
ment that the worst case of small pox can be
cured in three days, simply by the use of
cream of tartar. One ounCc of cream of
tartar dissolved in a pint of wafer, drank at
intervals, when cold, he says, is a certain
remedy. It has cured thousands, never
leaves a mark, never causes blindness,_ and

avoids tedious lingering.”

PARED PAINTS, we have yet to heal- the first
complaint. The reason is ap nrent. Our paints
have stood the test of years.w ere all otherpai‘nls
have failed in durability. Theirceverzngcapacny
being greater than that of any other paint, pre-
sents a practical item of economy. Our paints are
guarjameed in every particular: the consumer as-
burning no risk whatever, as we will repaint am]
building on which our paints do not rove saus-
factory: allowing a choice of En lish . B. White
Lead or any other paint in use. repared for im-
nlelliate use. 201' Pearl Street. New York.

Taxes! Taxes!

NOTICE is hereby given to all persons having
unpaid Taxes on List 01' 1875, that on and after

JANUARY lst, 1877.

I shall proceed to collect said unpaid taxes by
levying my warrant on the mummy on which the
farms on List of 1875, are assessed. I must do this
in order to secure myself frl -m great loss. I had
to borrow $6,190 on List of 1874. to settle with the
town for unpaid taxes on that list. 1 shall not bor-
row money to pay anyone’s tax on list of 1875, but
require the property to pay it. Pay now and save
expense. Respectfully, &c..

are JOHN F. RAYMOND, Collector, list 1875.

FOR Tlill Honirs.
