Mr. Chas.‘Tuttle, an aged resident of the
Nod district, (lied on Sunday last.
The entertainment of the Mission Band
was quite successful; over $50 was secured.
The entertainment will be repeated for the
benefit of Sabbath School, Wednesday even-
ing. .
Those enterprising boys who have been in
the habit of taking horses from under church
sheds and even from private stables and driv!
ing them nnmcrcifully have been detected.
Sleighing has vanished in these parts.
The friends of the Rev. J. E. Walton, gave
him a donation visit on Thursday evening
last. _ _
The Mission Band Entertainment, Wilton,
which was so successful last week, will be
repeated on WednEsday evening. You can
enjoy a pleasant evening by attending, find
help along a good cause.
NORTH WILTON.
A jolly sleighing party composed of mem-
bers of the M. E. Church, went over to
Easton, last Wcrkiesday evening, to call up-
on the Rev. M. A. Stevens, a former pastor-
of the Bald Hill 'M. E. Church. After a '
long ride over the hills, they at last reached
the parsons’ home, but he was away attend-
ing a temperance meeting. We imagine, that
on his return he must have thought himself
taken by storm. However, they report that
Mr. and Mrs. Stevens are well, and with the
same friendly manner which won the favor,
of so many while here, gave them a hearty.
welcome. After _a stay of several hours, the
party started off, homeward bound, in the
“wee small hours,” arriving at Bald Hill
about 6 o’clock, a. m., content to settle down
in the arms of Morpheusi
The shirt business has revived to a certain
extent, and the people begin to realize the'
,truth of the old adage, that “half a loaf is
better than none” and many are eager to ob-
tain the work, though the prices paid are
much lower than formerly.
“Dan" denies that he is 340 years old, as
he does not remember that there was over
such a time about “Centennial" in this coun-'I
try before.
Politics, poultry, and the pig 'trade, have
all been laid aside for the present. The all
absorbing topic seems to be “Dogs.” It is
astonishing to hear how many people have,
been chewed up, others having had hair- 3
breadth escapes, to say. nothing of the law:
suit that has been, and others that bid fair .
to be, all on account of dogs. “When will
this cruel war be over?” UPPER Towx.
Your North Wilton correspondent in the
last number of your paper, omitted to say in
his communication that the valuable dog
which was shot by a school boy, who was
fined $3 and costs, had been permitted to run
at large when it was well known by his
owuer that several persons had been bitten
by him, and the said boy had suffered severe-
ly by his bite some months since; for. which
reason the dog was shot, and this was not
denied at the trial and he submitted to the
fine without any attempt to prove the vicious
character of the dog which might easily have
' been done, hence the verdict. While the
owner of the dog may have been deprived of
his valuable services the community at least,
_is rid of a dangerous nuisance.

There is quite an Indian Encampment at
the Den,—four males, three squaws and their
pappooses, besidesfour dogs. They are all a
peripatetic set, wondering about, selling bas-
kets, asking for food, begging for cider and
evidently seeming to relish the latter article
with great gusto. .
The Good Templars Lodge here, Neversink
was represented at the Convention at Long
Hill by a large delegation. They spent a
pleasant day, and listened .to some of the elo-
quent appeals in favor of cold water by Otis
J. Range, G. W. C. T. They returned late
but not dismayed because of the cold water
poured upon them by the drizzling rain on
their homeward journey. "
There is to be a fellowship meeting of neigh-
boring churches in the Congregational church
here on Tuesday, Feb. 6th, at 10.45 a. In. As
many churches besides the Congregational
have been invited, a good attendance is ex-
pected. Entertainment for man and beast
has been provided. Sermon by Rev. Dr.
Rankin of Fairfield, Conference at 2, p. 111.
Ladies’ Mite Society was hospitably enter-
tained by Mrs. L. D. Coley and fair daughters.
Those present are loud in their praise of the
kindly treatment received and the pleasant
time enjoyed. TON Wns.
STAMFORD.
An unfortunate affair recently occurred,
evidently through misapprehension, which
has caused some excitement. Two young
men, Edgar L. and Addison Studwell, in re-
turning from Long Ridge, about 4 o’clock in
the morning,from certain circumstances were
taken for- burglars or incendiaries by a family
named Ferris, and were boldl attacked by
three of the brothers armed ith axes and
clubs. They defendecmiemselves with equal
courage, using a pistol, but were finallyover-
come, badly beaten, tied, carted into town
and delivered to an officer. The Ferris fami-
lily were morbidly sensitive about incendia-
ries, having had two barns burned in acouple
of years.
Fifteen Stamford clergymen have signed a
petition to the Legislature for the adoption of
a new policy in regard to the sale of liquors.

censes in the enforcement of the law, 830.

were to weigh (as Pfeiifer says) 30 lbs. each.
When Mead demanded his money, Pfcifier
demurred on the ground that thevpigs did not
weigh 301bs., but less, and offered to com-
promise by paying $6. This Mead would
not accept, and after two years Mr. Mead
sued for the full price of the animals. The '
case was tried before Justice Jackson, and

Ri «rcficld Hall has been furnished with a
stage front and drop curtain; it adds to the
beauty of the hall, and will be needed On
many occasions. It is intended that nothing
shall be wanting for any entertainment that
may occur. This has been done by the Local
Improvement Society, without any expense
to the town. The hall is rented atten dollars
a night. An attempt was made to give bet-
ter terms to the churches, but the justice was
not apparent to all,and the idea has been aban-
doned. Hereafter the price will be uniform.
The Tableaux entertainment given by the
ladies Of St.,Stepben’s church was a success.
“Little Jack Horner,” “Columbus’ audience
with Isabella,” “Coming through the Rye,”
and the “Army and Navy.” The band added
much to the pleasure of the evening, by their
good playing. Over forty dollars was cleared
which is for the benefit of the Sunday school
library. ..
The band does much to relieve the dullness
they play out of doors, the music breaks upon
the almost oppressive stillness of night in a
way never so pleasant. May the good wishes
kindly notice and timely‘aid of all, encourage
them. '
By a happy concurrence of circumstances,
the people of Ridgefield and. vicinity, are to
have a chance opportunity to hear most ex-
cellent music. The pleasure will seldom or
never occur. It will be given by the Sand-

ed of seven of the best singers of that city.

rousing house. It is due to the lady, who,
from love of her old home, has prevailed upon

tory and requires considerable raw stock,
hence the opposition. ‘
The sound of the voice‘ of Lloyd the black-

lamb like indeed, and shows the traditional
power of. money in making the “mare go.”

Neighbor Parrott, in building a veranda,

John’s police record is not to be questioned,
even if he does sleep with one eye open when

A collation was provided by the ‘ladies of
the Church at Deacon Abbot’s. The congre-
gation reassembled at two o’clock, and en-
gaged in a conference meeting on the topic
announced, viz., “The necessity and duty of
personal effort for the conversion of souls.”
This was opened by the Rev. A. C. Pierce
of Brookfield, and was earnestly discussed by
ministers and laymen.
A slight breeze of discussion from appa-
rently opposite points of view only intensi-
fied the interest, while the evident harmony
of view was still manifested.
The importance of the subject was evident-
ly impressed on the minds of all present.
In the evening a sermon was preached by
Rev. Joe. Smith, pastor of the M. E. Church,
of Bedding, from Gal. VI.-9.

three days was required to do this, and the
public, who had become tired of riding on
runners were formally re-introduccd to the
horse cars Friday. The change from runners
to wheels is received with satisfaction.
There is increased interest manifested in
the religious movement and the people will

They talk about circulating a-subscription
again to raise money to keep the clock on
Memorial church in repnir. As everybody is
bencfitted by the clock, when it runs, the
town should, in truth, pay the bills, but the
gentlemen who run the town, following the.
example of the fathers at Washington, are
chary about establishing precedents in file
matter of paying out public money, unless it
is likely to further some pet scheme of their.
own.

four lamps burning or none, and threaten to
make a row, even though the lamplighter is
a loser of money by his contract. The
reason why .Gorham lighted the west lamp
and did not light the others is, as reported,
that as all light comes from the east there
he continues toindulge the theory, it is more
than likely light will be thrown upon his
darkened understanding by the east siders.

Progress in the arrangements for a cele-

dance taking place. It is said more than 200
aged one’s have responded to the invitations
and that more will be heard from this week.
Such an assemblage at table will be a novelty
never before equalled in Westport. The
trouble will be to make room enough for the
'crowds who will seek to gain admission to
the Hall. The whole town will want to be
there, and if National Hall is selected, its
ample space will prove to w inadequate.
Gomg up two pairs of stairs 0 get to the
Hall will be a barrier to the pleasure of the

of constructing at no distant time, a town

Rumor has it that Mr. S. H. Alden is com-

the judgment for $90,000 obtained by one

suit, serious on. its-face, but friendly in fact,
and prosecuted in his interest, for the pur-
pose of vacating the title of the “Compo”
property deeded 'first' to Mrs“ Trubee, Mr.
Alden’s daughter, and later ne-deeded to Mrs.
G. V. Alden, his former wife. This, is only

Cnoss-Bnnnmxo Fran—New features in
the science of pisciculture are deveIOped«
each year. The latest and one of the most
curious, is a successful effort by Monroe A.
Green, brother of the famous Seth Green, to
cross breeds of fish. The Rochester Express
informs us that Mr. Green has impregnated
the ova of the brook trout with the milt of a
salmon, during the past winter, producin a
fry resembling the salmdn and lighter in co or
than the trout. His idea ,is that the stock
from this source will be excellent for brooks.
and that it will be of. rapid growth in ordina-
ry streams. He has crossed the white fish
with the salmon-trout, the result of which is
a smaller fry than that of the salmon-trout
and redder in color, bearing a closer resem
blance to the white fish. Valuable conse-
quences may follow these experiments, but
thatis matter to be tested by experience.
BRIDGEPORT.
Pursuant to the call of the county commis-

county Representatives to theJGeneral Assem-
bly met in the superior court-room, Bridge-

and the two remaining installments to be paid

While Gov. Jewell was our Minister in
Russia he visited the tannerics of that coun-
try and found out the secret of the RuSsia
leather, beloved of 4300k devotees. The
secret is the result of the use of birch bark
of tallow and rease, the latter: substances
being so large y used as food among the
lower classes. , This tar, which is carefully
saved as it exudes from the wood 'when
burned, was first used as a‘ substitute for
wheel grease in Russia, as it is to this day,
and then for the filling and dressing of skins.
By a system of careful inquiry, an literally
following his nose during his visits to some
of the great Russian tanneries and curriers’
shops, Mr. Jewell found this compound in a
great kettle ready for use, and thus the mys-
tery was solved. It is not expensive, costing
about $10 a barrel, and. he immediately
ordered ten barrels and sent them to various
leading leat manufacturers in this country
with instructions, and the result is that gen-
uine Russia leather goods are now made in
America, and doubtless will soon be sold at
nearly fifty per cent below former prices.

A LITTLE Oun’s Deva—The Poughkeep-
sie Eagle tells an affecting little story of a
child between two and three' years old whom
a lady found walking on the street, evident-
ly lost and crying bitterly. Taking her by
the hand the lady asked her where she was
going. ‘
“I am going to find papa,” was the reply of
the child, between sobs.
“What is your papa's name ?” asked the
lady. n ' '
“His name is papa,” replied the innocent
little thing. - .
“But what is his other ' name 1’” queried
the _ lady ; “what does your momma call
him ?” .
“She calls him papa,” presistcd the baby.
The lady then took the little one, by. the
hand and led her along, saying :— '
“You had better come with me‘ ; I guess
you come this way.”
“Yes, but I don't want to go back ; I
want to find papa,” replied the little girl
crying afresh as if her heart would brea .”
“What do you want of papa ?” inquired
the lady.
“I want to kiss him.” 3
Just then a sister of the child came along
looking for her, and Ed her away. From
subsequent inquiries it appears that the 'little
one’s papa, whom she was so earnestly in
search of, had recently died. In her loneli-
ness and love for him she tired of waiting for
him to come home, and had gone to find him
and greet him with the accustomed kiss.

ago one of our prominent lawyers, whose
peaceablc character, good judgment and learn-
ing are equally well known, passed down
Asylum street to reach the depot, when he
received suddenly a tremendous kick. At
once confounded and in a terrible rage, he
turned to knock his assailant down—and met
the latter’s hasty and very humble rgiologies.
He had slipped and his foot had own up
without'his will or intention; he was very,
very sorry. The jndge had to pocket his in-
dignation and accept the excuso; but he was
fearfully mad for about ten minutes, he says.

The protracted financial depression in Aus—
tro-Hungary continues unabated. During the
past year 1,556 firms became bankrupt, be.
sides 41 limited liability companies, repre-
senting capital to the amount of 64,000,000
fiorius. At a recent cabinet council in Vienna
the finance ministers of Austria and Hungary
urged that no further demands should be made
upon taxpayers unless the necesssity was
overwhelming. Exchange on London has
risen within a few months from 112 to 125.

AN ACCOMMODATING EDITOR. A local ed-
itorin Pekin,I 11., introduced himself to the
public a few days ago as follows: “Sensa-
tional, distressing details of revolting mur-
ders and shocking suicides respectfully solic-
ited. Bible-class presentations and ministe:
rial donation parties will be ‘done’ with neat-
ness and despatch. Keno bank and their op-
erations made a specialty. AOcurate re-
ports of Sunday school anniversaries guaran-
teed. The local will cheerfully walk seven.
teen miles after Sunday school to see and
report a paize fight. ‘Funerals and all other
melancholy occasions written up in a manner
to diallenge admiration. Horse races report-
ed in the highest style of the reportorial
art; Domestic broils and conjugal infelici-
ties sought for with untiring avidity. Police
court proceedings and sermons reported, in a
manner well calculated to astonish the pris-
oner, magistrate and preacher. Prompt
paying subscribers and good advertisers,
when stricken with mortal illness, will be
cheerfully interviewed, when lying at death‘s
door, with a view to obtaining obituary
items, and the greatest pleasure Will be taken
in exposing your private affairs to the criti-
calgaze of an interested public.

Dlseas'o Grows Apuce,
Like an ill wind, and cannot be mastered too'early.
What is a trifling attack of sickness to-day, may,
if unattended to, become a serious casein a‘week.
Small ailments should be nipped in the bud before
they blossom into full blown malifdies. If this
advice was attended to, many a heavy bill for med
ical ,attendancc might be avoided. Vihelr the
liver is disordered, the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed, or the nerves disturbed, resort‘shbuld
at once he had at once to that supreme remedy
Hostcttcr’s Stomach Bitters, a few doses of which
will restore healthy action and put the‘system in
perwct order. It is a wise precaution to kccp this
incomparable preventative in the house, since it
checks, with unrivalled 'promptitude, disorders
which breed others for more dangerous, and in
their latest developments are themselves often
fatal. Ini6
Acity missionary was asked the cause of
his poverty. “Principally,” said he, “be-
cause I have preached so much without

Too Moon LAND—“Too much land is the
great obstacle to improvement in American
farming. Increase of land increases , labor
an} all expense, including taxes, while it
does not always increase the production.
Many a farmer who has bought an additional
fiftyor one hundred acres could have realiz-
ed far more of profit and pleasure from the
investment of the same money in improving
and beautifyin his original farm. A thous-
and dollars wil not do much in our Eastern
States in buying more land ; but it.will ac-
complish wonders in under-draining. manur-
ing, destroying weeds, and repairing fences.
Most of these improvements will pay for
themselves in two or three seasons at further-
est. No matter how low the selling price of
land may go, its valueto own and work will
always be fixed. by its productive capacity.”
