Friday was stormy, snow, sleet and rain
made a cheerless day and lecture going an
impossibility. By an arrangement with
Prof. Marshall, the Lecture Committee are
enabled to announce another opportunity to
hear his lecture Wednesday evening, Jan.

patrons of the course should aid in making
the audience as large as possible. Prof. IV.
hopes to make his pictures additionally at-
tractive by the delay as he is in Philadelphia

take theirchildrcn to see the pictures.

Christmas Eve was celebrated at St.
Stephen’s by appropriate religious services.
The church was neatly decorated. '
Christmas night was improved by the M.
E. Church for a festival by the Sunday
School. Exercises consisted in recitations
by the children, music and distribution of
presents from the heavily laden Christmas
trees. The house was crowded. It is
curious to 59-15 how little opposition to the
use of the ch..rch for such purposes there is,
as soon as there is a better place obtainable
at a slight cost, which can be met by a small
admission at the door. ' ‘

A gentleman had been to your beautiful
village and stopped at one of his neighbors;
when he went out to get into his sleigh, and
was tucking himself nicely up, for a start,
one of the friends at the house called out
“you are all afire.” ,Looking back of him he
discovered the cause. He had stepped on a
. box of marches, of the kind familiarly called
snappers, when the whole box went off at
once, and it was miraculous it did not create
more of afire as his sleigh was filled with
straw. He escaped with a little damage,
' "minus a box of matches.

It was a decided step forward when the

and attached smoking cars to the trains.
Another equally progressive step is demanded

ence from or offense to others. Profanity
can scarcely be less objectionable than tohac-

The storm of Friday was something to be
remembered. Very high winds from the
east drove the snow with force, an‘ihe rain
and hall which followed—and slush, reminded
of what the old folks tell as used to happen .
winters: when they were young. The tide in
the river rose to an unusual height, and" at
one time seemed to threaten an inundation.
With the setting in of night the wind hauled
to the westward and blew so fiercely that
housekeepers were gladjhey’d “closed their

When snow accumulates on railroad tracks,
and the snow plow of a locomotive engine
strikes it, there is likely to be more or less
animation among the snow particles.~ This
was the case Friday night in,front of the
Green’s Farms depot. The Shore Line ,Ex-
press, dashing along at the rate of forty miles
an hour camein contact with snow at that
point, hurling it in every direction, some
. portions of the mass striking the depot

The movement of freight by rail since the
river closed, has increased. The car facili-

New Year’s callers were perceptibly less
in number this year than in some former
years. This must have been a relief to some
house-keepers who know the nature and con-
sistency of that thinnest of delusions, “the
compliments of the season,” as expressed at
the. expense of their wine flasks and cake
baskets.

A happy event was the christmas festival
of the Sunday School of the Congregational
church last Wednesday afternoon and even-
ing. There was a tree the branches of which
were laden with frult which children know
how to appreciate. It was lighted'with wax
tapers. The children sang carols, andrecited
poetry, the superintendent Mr. John N.
Betta, the pastor, Rev. Dr. Sanderson, and
Mr. H. H. Belden made brief but pleasing
addresses. Mr. James Smibert delivered an
original Christmas poem. The doxology and
a benediction closed the exercises.
There’s no‘truth in the repor t that the par-
ties named ina recent article as democratic

stuffed club respectively, with which to casti-
gate the author of the report.

DIED—At his residence, December 29th,
1876, John Warren Taylor, in the 67th year
of. his age. Words- fail to express fitting:
ly the thoughts which this announcement
suggests as we contelnplate'llow busy death
has been of late among the aged of our
village. One by one, at his command, they
have passed from sight, and at last, he,
whose name was most familiar, obeys the
dread summons. _
Mr. Taylor was born in Norwalk in 1810,
and early in life established, himself in busi-
ness here. Upwards of forty years among
drugs and books, and thirtycight consecutive
years as town clerk, have demonstrated a
character which needs no written eulogy.
The honesty of purpose manifesting itself in
his every act,—the exemplary walk and
strict sense of honor and right on all occa—
sions, ‘speak to the heart more eloquently
than can any pen description. It may
truly be said that Westport is better because
Mr. Taylor lived in it. Sterling worth raised
him high socially and in 'secular affairs he
was so implicitly trusted that for years, with-
out a dissenting voice from either political
party, he was chosen to an office in the gift
of the town which be filled to its credit and
his own. Thoughts of the tact and intelli-
gence be exercised, the interest he took, and
the dignity he maintained at all times in the
various offices he held, will serve to form the
links of a chain which memory will put
together, and upon which, as time bears us
onward, we can bring the. past and present
together, and realize by contrast, how great
is the loss we have sustained. The funeral
occurs from the late residence of deceased
Court of B'urgesses.

The latest discovery in Paris, of impor-
tance to the world, isof a method of sending
aportrait by telegraph. The nature of the
process is not disclosed,but the fact is vouch-
ed for. The trial was made by the police
authorities of Paris and Lyons. The per-
trait of a Lyons official was forwarded from
Paris by the new telegraphic apparatus, and
at once recognized. In return, the Lyons
police telegraphed to Paris the port it, no-
companied by the usual dcscription,o a clerk
who had just absconded with his master’s
money, and the Paris police. thanks to the
telegraphic portrait, were enabled to arrest
the thief on his alighting from the train at
the Lyons railway station. This, if the in-
vention turns out to be practical, is the most
wonderful thing in telegraphy, and its benefit
will not long be confined to criminals. The
congressman will telegraph his portrait with
his speech, so that his constituents can see
as well as read him in the act, and impatient
lgers will no doubt throng the telegraph
o ces.

CLEVELAND, ('0, Dec. 29.~——Anotller An-
ola horror befel the Pacific express on the
ake Shore Railroad at 8 o'clock this evening.
The train was bound westward,_ and was
three hours behind time by reason of the ter-
rible gale and snow-storm which has prevail-
ed here since morning. Onc-fourth of a mile
east of Ashtabula station, 60 miles east of
Cleveland, the road crosses Ashtnbula Creek
on an iron bridge 75 feet high. It Is now
understood here that the train, consisting of
six coaches and drawing-room. cars, and live
baggage, mail,nnd express cars, went through
the bridge and was precipiated 75 feet to the
frozen river. The cars were piled in fearful
ruin and burned. There were 165 passengers
on the train, of whom between 80 and 40
were killed outright and many others wound-
ed. No names or further particulars re at-
tainable at this hour. A special tral , with
Superintendent Payne and a corps of physi-
cians and appliances for the wounded, left
for the scene of the wreck at 9 p. m. The
railroad officials are very averse to giving In-
formation, but it is known that the disaster
is the most serious one that has befallcn the
road since the Angola horror in 1868.
The train, moving slowly, broke through
the bridge. Everything except the leading
engine went down. The killed are estimated
storm are very severe, and the work of re.
covering the bodies is making slow progress.
The scene is' described as- terrible beyond
precedent.
Mrs. Bradley of San Francisco,whose little
child with its nurse is among the lost, is the
daughter of Mrs. Charles Merriam of Spring-
field, Mass., and her farther, Dr. Gray, was
among those lost at the Norwalk disaster in
May, 1853. ‘ -
Miss Mary Birchard, cousin of Gov.IIayes,
was one of the lost. .
C. P. Bliss, the, Evangelist, author of
“Hold the Fort" was one of the killed.
The number killed is very uncertain but
is believed to be at least fifty-four.

The, improvement of the Connecticut

Happy Influence of a Great Specific.
For the preservation or recovery of health and
strength, the diet- should be wholesome and
nutritious. When it happens that the alimentary
processes are disturbed by improper or half mas-
ticated food, the best remedy for the cvil results
of abuting the digestive organs is Hostettor’s
Stomach Bitters,a"most agreeable, prompt and
’ gentle remedy for dyspepsia, and for the billions
and evacuativc irregularities which result from
it The liver and bowels, in common ' with the
stomach, experience its beneficent influences. The
refuse of the system is carried ofi‘ through its nat-
ural outlet, healthy flow and secretion of the bile
is promoted, and a powerful impdtus is given to
assimilation ip consequence of its use. It health-
fully stimulates the bladder and kidneys when
they are inactive, and by no team and regulating
action fortifies the system against malaria.
