A Valentine.
BY M. M. I).
I’m not in love, my love, oh, no!
’Tis thou, as I can prove ;
For thou art folded closely in
And sheltered with my love.
It hovers o’er thee all the time;
It follows all thy ways;
It folds thee, sweet, wherc’r thou art,
And compasses thy days.
I’m not in love,.my love, oh, no!
But thou art held there, tight.
Send me (the poor outsider) dear,
One little ray of light.
Bid me approach, and enter in,
So, both our lives may shine,
That I may also be in love
Like thee, my Valentine.

On Thursday last, as Dr. Gregory was
making his way to this place, his colt refusing
to enter the slough hole near the residence of
Mr. Seth K. Gregory, the Doctor reined him
to the side of the road which was covered
, with ice, the colt broke through this, and in
cxtricating himself from the deep hole, broke
the King-bolt and leaving the Doctor in, the
road, ran until Icaching Bclden’s Hill, where
he was captured by Gus. Bulkley and brought
back by Will Quintard who had followed
close in his wake. Fortunately for the wor-
thy M. D., for his patients, and the toum, he
sustained no injuries. . -

The members of the Good Templars’ Lodge
are preparing for a dramatic entertainment,
which promises to be unusually excellent.
Rumors are rife, in regard to contemplated,
railroad improvements in which we feel much
interest. The fair Dame says, “a new depot
near the Norwalk Mills; a dummy engine
and frequent trips to and from the borough,
at cheap rates, with improved freight accom-
modations.” We hope this is true, for it is
just what we deserve.
The Busy Bee Society are now working to
some purpose, they have taken the Sunday
school under their maternal wing, and here-
after all proceeds go toward its maintenance.
At their meeting last week, Mrs. James Lar-
mer was elected President, and Miss Sarah
F. Aiken, Treasurer. Both of these ladies
are zealous workers in the Suuday school.
On next Sunday evening, there will be a

UPPER TOWN.
BROAD RIVER.
I would inform "Ego” that I had no in-
tention of becoming a newspaper correspond-
ent,'and make no mone pretentious to writ-
ing news than Ego himself. “Broad River”
started to give the news, then Ego to slur
and criticise upon what had been written.
The rumor is, that Broad River says, not
having seen the Hartford Times,he knows not
how hard they have been on him, but that
he can bear any criticisms made by any one
from the learned Editors of the Times down
'to Ego. The latter reminds him of the story
'of the Yorkshire man whose wife used to
beat him with a broom, and when asked by
his neighbors why he bore it, said : “It kind
0' mused her, and did not hurt him none.”
It is plainly to be seen that the success,
and reputation attending the Huckleberry
juice, has been for some a bitter pill reluct-
antly swallowed. .
I do not see Why the term “Parliamentary
usage” should be so objectionable,“ as it has
been the strong point upon which our busi-
ness meetings have been conducted, and
perhaps hereafter they can be carried on,
upon some other basis that comes within the
scope of honesty.
Neither do I think Ego is so much against
Broad River as he professes, and is only used
as a tool to express his neighbor‘s ideas.

W'ESTPORT.
Ten days of unusually fine Weather have
puzzled the local guessers, and their uniform
prognosticatiousyof a “comingstorm” have
been set at naught. The inatter-of-fact ob-
server accepts the situation as a little prema—
ture, butis willing to take either sunshine or
clouds, as the case may be.
Mr. O. M. Bennett entered his ~00th year
Sunday, and is now the oldest man in town.
Though thirty years the senior of many of
those who will sit at dinner with the “old
folks" at National Hall, Feb. 22d, doubtless
there will not be one present on that occasion
who can claim to be more spry or smarter in
every way than be. Mr. Bennett takes alivcly
interest in passing events and daily comes -to

Mr. T. L. Burns’ full dress party to be giv-

music by Redgate, of Bridgeport, promises
to be a grand affair.
The popular idea of a successful public en-
tertainment is, that it must cost money.
With this view, the “old folks” committee
have decided, to make the thing more binding,
to ask the sum of 75 cents for each person
visiting the hall on the day of the Washing-
ton dinner.

An accident which may result fatally, took
place at Mr. E. H. Nash’s mill, Saturday.
Mr. Frank Moehler was engaged sawing wood
‘with a circular saw, whenthe stand to which
the saw was attached, got loose. It was
making two thousand revolutions per minute.
The loosening was followed by a giving way
of the bearings which held the saw to'thc
stand. Thus liberated it played pranks which
cannot be described. Mr. Moahler had not
time to be surprised, much less to get out of
the way, and the teeth of the swiftly revolv-
ing saw struck the unfortunate man in the
face, tearing out and mangling his left eye,
and cutting into the skull bone to the depth
of nearly one and a half inches. Mr. M’s
left arm was horribly mutilated, and he was
otherwise injured. Getting clear of the belt
which gave it motion,the saw, still whirling,
started frbm the mill and a moment later
brought up against an adjoining fence, into
the stones of which it penetrated to the
depth of a quarter of an inch. Mr. George
Bates and Mr. J. W. Perry who were work-
ing near, heard the commotion produced by
the saw and rushing to the spot, beheld their
companion helpless and' bleeding. They
stopped the mill and conveyed him home,
Surgeons, Powers and Bunton were called,
and during the ordeal through. which the
sufferer passed he was not for a moment on.

prietor of the mill, heading the list with $50.

iOth, 1877, after a painful illness,Mrs. James '
ees._
This announcement, though not unexpect-
ed, will cause sadness in hearts, to which she
had become endeared,how deeply, they who,
know her best can testify. Intelligent, ac-
complished, and possessed of amiable quali-
ties of mind, she had become the center
around which clustered fond affections, and
a bright future seemed in store for her. The
many friends she had won by her manners,
who a little while ago met her glowing with
life and health, find it’difficult to realize that
the shadows of death and change were then
gathering in the distance ; that even then
she was lingering on the twilight of two
worlds. She is gone ? but memory of her
name will ever be like music which has pas-
sed away but left its cadence lingering
mournfully in our ears. _

‘heed’ is the 29th word on the first column of
page 92 ; turn over two leaves in the die-
tionary, count down the second column on
page 96 to the 29th, word, and you have the

Mine is located in the mineral district of Bat-
opilos, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, on the
summit of one of the Sierra Madras Moun-
tains, and about 1,500 feet above the level of
the Batopilos River that skirt its base. The
mine was opened in November 1875. On‘the
first day of April, 1876, its yield was $6,000
bonanza. This nugget weighs seventy-one
pounds, and was broken from a piece weigh-
ing 300 pounds taken from one pocket._ Its
value is about $1,100, and its assays ninety
per cent. Its shape is Conical, the surface be
ing ragged and wavy, as If it had been sub-

called and took it back. That evening she
paid the bet. Next morning she took it back,
and he paid, and so they have been kept busy
by the contradictory dispatches ever since,
and both declare their willingness and ability
to hold out until Congress decides the ques-
bill. .
The Iargest single item. says' a dispatch
from Washington, in the River and Harbor
Appropriation bill completed by the House
committeeWeduesday morning, is $200,000
“for re ving obstructions from East River
and He 1 Gate, New York.” General New-
ton, who had this important work in charge,
expresseshimself as quite well pleased with
the amount granted, as it was feared that it
would be comilerably less. He thinks it will
be more than sufficient to enable him to com-
plete the work on Diamond Reef, while the
balance~ will materially advance the work
upon‘ Flood Rock.
A stray paragraph in a recent issue of the
New York Sun, referring to the death in
France, at a very advanced age, of a Mr.
Coling, leavinga lar e fortune, has led' the
descendants of Mr. ohn Coling, an old res-
ident of Danbury, to believe that they are
entitled to the property. John Coling, a
young Frenchman, was impressed in the
French navy during the war between France
and England, and came to this country with
Jerome Bonaparte. He eventually settled in
Danbury, where his name became by _com—
mon usage, John Collins; he was married,
and died in 1823 or thereabouts, leaving a
family of four children, all of whom are now
rtliving, andremcmber well the fact of their
father’s often remarking that if he could but
get his family home to France they would be
well taken care of by his father, J olui Coling,
a baker, (which was given as the vocation of
the deceased centennarian.) Mr. Alonzo
Collins, of Bethel, and “Uncle John,” form-
erly of Co. A., 17th C. V., two of the sons,
are endeavoring to collect proofs of their con-
nection. -

' Disease Grows Apace,
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 maladies. If this
advice was attendedto, many a heavy bill for med
ical attendance might be avoided. When the
liver is disordered. the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed, or the nerves disturbed, resort should

Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a few doses of which
will restore healthy action and put the system in
perfect order. It is a wise precaution to keep this
incomparable preventative in the house, since it
checks, with unrivalled promptitude, disorders
which breed others far more dangerous, and in
their latest developments are themselves ofth
fatal. 1n16

The records of the Arctic Expedition show
that the total abstainers were stronger and
more capable than the drinkers; were less li-
able to scurvy ; suffered less from cold; and

in permanently good condition. The truth
has been abundantly established before, but
the case is one in which cumulative testimony
is not out of order.
Dr. Allan, of Philadelphia, was preaching
one day away down in Tennessee, when an
old Methodist brother, of the African per-
suasion, came to him after the sermon, and
said: “I like to hear you preach, for I under-
stand your preaching.” Dr. Allan' replied,
“I am very glad offit.” “But I understand every
word say." “‘I hope so,” said the Doctor,
“for I try to make myself understood.”
Again the old man came to the charge.
“Yes,” he said, "I understand you just as
