There seems not a little interest, and quite .
as much stir I‘ll our little place called “Five
Corners,”»and it is only of late that it ly‘as
become so important, as there has sprang p
in a night, like Jonah’s gourd, two ad‘-
paper correspondents, so that the businSss
directory now reads, grocery, news depot,
black-smith shop, engineering millaflof mahy
kinds, school of learning, the. It has been
the opinion of people outsidb of our cent r,
that missionary work was needed, but fgor
fear that it would not be carried on accord'llilf—l
to “parliamentary usage," it was long upg-
lccted, but now that efforts are made in that
direction, it is hoped that it may be produc-
tive of much good, and that the isolathd
member that has prayed daily for forty years,
“0 Lord, I'thank Thee that I am not like
‘other men are” will take comfort in having
many converted to the error of his ways. 5
We are not unconscious to the fact thht

One at least is a strong believer in the Scrip-

our school of learningr so that it propefly
may be called a high—school. ~
. 1 would say that Ego must be a man ‘ f
discretion and judgment for in all the cata-
logue of words he could 'not have chosen} a
cognomen more appropriate, as if there vvas
another man in all the country that could do
as much talking,and amount to so little as The,
and if he would carry Out the home mission-
ary spirit that he advocates so strongly, 'he
would be doing a Christain act by lending
Broad River a spelling book, but I shoiild
judge that Ego was as much a stranger to.

Four scholars were present at a certain dis-

,dcptlrvof'snow, were visited by the Board of
School Visitors. Like the man who made

character of public sentiment in regard to his
action before he really commits hinself. Of
course he hopes to be able to make the town
pay the billsin the suit so far as it has ad-
vanced, and yet there are tax-payers ugly
enough to assert that J. S. should pay those
bills out of his own pocket. It becomes
daily more apparent that the path of head
selectman is not always strewn with roses.

day afternoon.
had fallen to a great depth during the pre-
vious night, the attendance was not large,
though the best men in Westport were pres-
ent. The ceremonies, simple and impressive,
were conducted by Rev. Dr. Sanderson who,
after reading appropriate scripture passages,
alluded to the life and character of deceased,
of his long service as a public mam—his
nearly. forty years identification with W'cst-
port affairs, and the blank in society which
his departure from our midst created. The
speaker dwelt upon the uncertainty of human
life, the certainty of (leatli, of the changes
which death causes in a few years in every
community, forciblyillustrating the same by
a new application of the old story of \Vcl—
lington,thc hero of 'Waterloo, and his com-
panions in arms who, after that great battle
met to dine at a certain place annually to
review the scenes in which they had been
prominent actors. Yearby year they met,
but each meeting disclosed the sad fact that
some honored one was absent, never to ap—
pear with t‘liem ag:iin,——aud so on until none
remained to call the annual meeting, and
there was not one left to sit at the festive
board. So it would be. with personal friend-
ships, as they who had long known deceancd
and had noted the ravages death had made
among his cotemporarics, could aver. The
preacher then paid the following beautiful
tribute to the character of deccasc, . TMI'.
Taylor was born in Saugatuck, April 8 .1310}
In 1832 he embarked in business as a. dry
goods merchant in this village, but soon
after became a druggist and bookseller, and
for forty years has thus lived and grown
with the place. Though he never sought
office, he held :several positions of trust.
Without his desire or knowledge he was ap-
pointed post master, and discharged the
duties of that position to the entire satisfac-
tion of all. Soon after the incorporation of
the town of Westport he was chosen its
town clerk, and held the oflicc continuously
until last Spring, wlienfuiling health induced
him to resign. No politician thought of re-
moving J o‘nn \Varren Taylor from the town
.clerksliip, even when the cry was “to the
victors belong the spoils.” He was a ' speci-
men of the men whom we might hope to liave
in office, if' we could have a real civil service
reform. The records of the town are, to-day,
his eulogy. Taste and correctness and up-
rightness and gentlemanlincss characterized
him everywhere. His place of business was
always attractive. He wasa model of neatness
and courtesy for yOung men, an example of
generosity to those under him, and a pattern
of integrity to his business associates. His
private and domestic life was above reproach,
and he was never happier than when con-
ferring a favor or bestowing a gift. Mr.
Taylor leaves behind hiin few, if any, so
thoroughly conversantgvith the affairs of the
He had a wonderful familiarity
with the names and details of the family his-
tory of its inhabitants, and he seemed to
carry in his mind the family tree of- almost
every onc. Alluding to religious matters the
preacher said, deceased was a contributor to
the support of the Congregational Church
and was an attendant upon its services for
many years, but he nchr made a prOfession
'of religion, and never fully expressed his
views upon the subject to any one. He ap-
pgared interested in the progress of divine
. things and, like Abijah of old had some good
thing toward the Lord God of Israel,
and to his own Master he must stand or fall-
We have, the preacher said, no desire to
lay out poor church rolls alongside of the
Lamb’s book of life, nor to Copy its hallowed
entries. There may be, and there doubtless
are, more names in God’s book than in ours.
After a short prayer, the remains were con-
veyed to Evergreen Cemetery.
Carpenters were at work aturday making
alterations in the store formerly occupied by

Fourteen Congregational churches were re-
presented at the fellowship meeting here
Thursday. Rev. Mr. Teller of Ridgeficld
conducted the -1norning service, and Rev.

service. An interesting conference, largely
attended was held in the afternoon.

liam Allen, who died Wednesday, occurred

This death is a sad affliction to Captain Allen
who is an enterprising man, and who had
just begun the erection of a fine dwelling

Happy Influence 01:]. 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 evil results
of abuting the digestive organs is Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, a most agreeable, prompt and
gcntlc remedy for dyspepsia. and for the billions
and evacuative irregularities which result from
it. The liver and bowels,in common with the
stomach,cxperiencc its bencflccnt influences. The
refuse of the system is carried oil‘ through its nat-
is promoted, and a powerful impetus ls givdn to
assimilation in consequence of its use. It health-
.fully stimulates the bladder and kidneys when
they are inactive, and by its tonic and regulating
.action fortincs the system against malaria.

Regular Meeting, Friday Evening, Jan. 5,1877
The first meeting of the new Court of
Burgesses convened at 7% o’clock, at the office
of Clerk Foote, and were duly sworn in. .
- Thc.Wardcn in a brief address made the
following pertinent suggestions :
Gentlemen of the Court omeyesses .'
Having been called by the citizens of the
Borough of Norwalk to prcs1de over the
deliberations of your honorable body, it is
but due to them that I should suggest, for
your consideration, certain 'measures, the
adoption of which, In my judgment, wrll
promote their welfare._ .
In view of the existing sommcmial stag-
nation and business dcpressron, I_bclievc
that it should be our highest ambition, as
servants of the people, to decrease theirtaxes,
and lesson public expenditures go far as
possible without impairing the eil‘lc1ency .of
an .de artment.
As agnatter of economy I find recom-
mend the Il‘zmdt‘ng of the Borough Debt.
On the 20th of November last, the Norwalk
Savings Society held unpaid Borough orders
amounting to $56,553,85-100, the Fairfield
County Savings Bank orders amounting _to
$8,800, and there were in the possron of In-
dividuals orders amounting to $61,379 26—100,
making the total amount of outstanding
orders $66,735,11. Upon this sum the Bor-
ough is paying seven per cent, interest or $4,-
671, 39—100, annually, whereas there would
be no trouble in disposing of bonds bearing
interest at six per cent.
It properly applied, for there can be se-
cured from the General Assembly at its
coming session such legislation as will allow
the funding of the debt, and a consequent
saving of upwards of $600 a year, I would
suggest that we obtain from the General
Asscmly certain amendments to thcchm'ter
of the Borough. As it now is, we are re-
quired to hold our election on the first
Monday of December, two months after the
town election of representatives and. other
state officers, making three elections Within a
period of nine weeks. Considerable . trouble
and expense can be avordcd by havrng the
Borough election occur on the same day as
the state; and, in my opinion, it would be
wise to make the change. _
tAt our Borough election it is_now neces-
sary to choosca collectOr, and it has been
customary for him to receive a compensation
for his services three per cent, of .all money-
collcctcd by him. It seems to me that the
percentage allowed as commissions should be
decreased, or else that our charter should be
so changed as to provid' that the Court Of
Burgesscs shall appoint as collector the
person contracting to perform the duties
thereof for the lowest commissions.
I desire to call your attention to the neces
sity and convenienence of havingr {Borough
Building, in which pr rsons intercS‘ed can find
the records, deeds, surveys, and other papers
appertaining to all departments of'onrgovern—
ment, tugcthcr with the places of meeting of
the Court of Burgesscs, Board of Water Coin-
missioners, Board of Relief and Assessors.

ranged as to answer this purpose, . at a com-
partively small outlay. The savmg to the
Borough would ,in the end, he consrdcrable;
and, by the arrangement, a suitable office
could be provided for the clerk, whose .rcnt
would be a compensation for his scrvrces.
Bythe'addition of a story to either of the
houses we should be enabled to have the
offices and papers of the Borough all under‘
one roof, and at the same time curtail in no
wise the accommodations of the companies
now- occupying them. This shouldbc guard-
ed against, for the Borough is under great
obligations to its Fire Department—a. depart-
ment which is a credit to its member-sand an
honor to the Borough.
In this connection, however, allow me to
say, tlpit whatever participation we, as indi-
viduals, may take in its annual parade, we
ought not to‘ride in cariiagcs and behind
music paid for out Of the Borough treasury.
The expenditure occasioned may be a small
one but it is just as niucll an unjust-one upon’
the tax payers. '
There is one matter to which I wish to
allude, and that is tire grading, widening,
curbing, ets. , of our streets. ‘
\Vell laid out highways, and wide, stone
sidewalks, are certainly desirable. But they
are advantages, which, while they benefit
all who usethcm, must be paid for by the
adjoiniugland ownersgand it seems to me
that during the coming year no street im-
provemeut should he made, excepting at the
unanimous request of all those upon whom
the cost would naturally be assessed. While
this rule may, sometimes, benefit only the
penurious, its tendency will be to protect the
workingman, who, having exerted himself to
procure for himself and family a little home-
stead during the present hard times, has all
he can do to pay his interest and taxes. That
communit which guards the welfare of its
small Ian owners, usually mechanics and
IabOrcrs, in the end is more pro'sperous than
that which, for the sake of appearances and
the benefit of real estate speculators, rushes
through improvement after improvement, re-
upon those who are assessed therefor.
Having the utmost confidence in your good
judgment, and knowing that you will act
as seems to you wise and best in reference
to the suggestions herein contained, I re-
