The GAZETTE, with very many other pa-
pers, has recently noticed a letter in defense
of E. A. Poe, from Mrs. Russell Stebbins,‘ of
Ridgefield. The following from Allibonc's
Dictionary of Author, will be read with in-
terest: Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Hewitt, former-
ly Miss Jane L. Moore, a native of Maiden,
Massachusetts, removed about two years after
her marriage to Mr. Hewitt, to New York
where she has since resided. Her earlier
poems first appeared in the Knickerbocker
and other periodicals under the signature of
“Iona.” In 1846 she published a volume of
selections from her contributions to maga-
zines, under the title of “Songs of our Land,
and other Poems.” In 1850, she edited a
gift-book called “The Gem of the Western
World, and “The Memorial," a tribute to the
memory of Mrs. Francis S. Osgood. She has
also contributed a number of tales and
sketches to the Odd Fellows’ offering, the
Southern Literary Messenger, etc. At pre-
sent she is engaged upon a prose volume cn-
titled “The Heroines of History.” Mrs.
Hewitt’s poetical compositions have elicited
warm commendations from the critics, in ev-
idence of which we must refer the reader to
Griswold‘s Female Poets of America; May’s
American Female Poets; Hart’s Female
Prose Writers of America; Mrs. Hale's Wo-
man’s Record; Poe’s Literati, etc, Tucker-
man’s Sketch of American Literature. We
should not omit to state that Mrs. Hewitt
was recently married to Mr. Stcbbins of New
York. Since the above was written the vol-
ume entitled “The Heroines of History” has
made its appearance, (1856.)
Ridgefield Street in Winter, and the same
pleasant stretch of lawns and dwellings In
Summer, would hardly fail to suggest, even
to the careless, that there was a question
about the trutlijof the old saying: that “beau-
ty unadorncd was adorned the most." For
even undeniable beauty may sometimes ap-
pear at great disadvantage of simplicity. It
will not do to reduce things to their elements
if you would preserve the pleasure of artis-
tic contemplation. We. will even consent to
matter-of-fact statement, and take all the poe-
try out of it, (for this is not a poetical season,
this of cold toes, red noses and chilblains,)
after the manner of Martin Earquer, and say,
with lugubrious truthfulness, that “beauty
unadorncd is adorned tiic”—-least. The frame
is here, in the outlines of these hills and the
arches of these noble trees, but the picture is
a good deal less bright than it was. The
houses are here, but the domestic life that
made them homes has, in the cases of sever-
al families, departed for a season—the winter
season. The Hawley places are shut up as
usual. Mr. Haight, however, is still the
genius of the place or places, and everything
is as snug as he knows how to keep it.
Other places look much as they have been
accustomed. All except the old Dr. Perry
place. This has gained an owner within the
last year and puts on a much brighter face
for the fortunate change.
say, “What a' pity that so fine a place should
be left to run down,” and now they say
“how much better the house looks since Mr.
Lounsbury took it." Mr. P. Lbunsbury, of
Lounsbury Bros. 65 Rockwell, South N orwalk,
has shown his good sense by choosing this
place in his native town as his home. There
is a general sense of satisfaction all through
the community, that so enterprising and good
a citizen has been gained .to the township,
and Mr. L. has also shown some genius as a.
politician. He has held and filled important
offices, and also creditably acquitted himself
as a party manager. But there are plenty of
people who know him in althhese capacities.
I wished to speak of him especially as a man,
and to express the satisfaction that all intelli-
gent people feel at the gain of a good neigh-
bor. And the generosity which has made
him popular in other relations distinguishes
him here. It is not every man who will thin
out the maples that shade his own walk when
he finds that they obstruct the view from a
friend’s look-out. Those of us who stay
through the year, also miss the pleasant face,
the genial society and philosophic reflections
of good Brother Byington, of Georgetown,
who has been so busy,;intelligent and faith-
ful to his employer’s interests, as Mr. Louns-
bury’s agent on the place. Some of his
pleasantly quaint expressions and ~ mellow
fancies will remain as long in our memories
as the general respect in. which he is held will
stand the test of time. Brother B. has many
friends with whom he is always welcome.
We hope to see him back again in the Spring
taking as good care of “his family” as he has
the past season. .
In the dedication of our new Town Hall,
Col. H. K. Scott, our efficient Town Clerk,

People used to.

were paid to the public spirit of its citizens
and the efficiency of the committee who had
the building in charge, no one thought. to
mention, what I am sure all appreciated, the
credit due the architect and builder, Mr. C.
B. Northrop. The ingenuity manifested in
the architectural devices. by which the inte-
rior arrangement ' made possible, ought not
to fail of apprcci ion with the more obvious
arrangement and satisfactory ornamentation.
And this putting “the finishing touch" in the
complete adjustment of the stage, with

the town is indebted for a. much larger, finer
and better hall than they could otherwise
have secured for the money. Our lecture
course has been a great success, for which we
are chiefly indebted to Dr. Todd. And an.
other of our townsmen, Mr. E. H. Smith, as
president of the hall committee for the town,
has distinguished himself by his manner in
executing that office. In introducing the
number of lecturers upon so various topics,
his expression of their various features and
attractions has been made with choice Eng-
lish, in well-considered and happy phrases.
‘ BROAD RIVER.
Your readers in this part of the town was
sorely disappointed last week at the non ap-
pearancepf “Broad River’s” ever welcome
communication. And the weak attemptof
“Annex” to supply the deficiency, failed to
make up the loss of the letter from our joval
“Bill(ings)", who ought to feel exceedingly
grateful to “Annex” for her (oically) defend-
ing his cause. .
The distribution of comic valentines was
quite extensive here ‘last week. Our musi-
cians were especially favored. John received
none, and is agreeably disappointed. But
.John has this election business to look after,
and cannot be bothered with such petty mat-
ters. He is even neglecting his pruning in-
terests so that the grape vines' (also corns) are
likely to suffer; Should Tilden become our
next president, John will be rewarded with
some office fat enough even for a man of his
circumference. , -
Aaron is of the opinion that he is not the

the boys shoot at it with a half bushel meas-
ure, and the one that breaks the Egg takes it.
At five cents a shot the General could make a
fortune in a short time, and have hisegg left-
as it has not been broken by any body yet.

ed in my communications is not known to
anybody until_it appears in print. And I-
imagine that what little I have written, does
not, require so much mental exertion asfhc
brain exhausting productions of “Broad River
and Annex,” and they are wise‘ to call upon
their friends to help them out. For a gen-
eral thing, writers are not so fortunate as to
have access to such great minds as the emana-
tions from the pens of “Annex” & Co. would
imply. Eco.

amount of $2,054,805,51. On these assets,
such as city bonds, &c., it can realize say
$600,000 any day, and it can call in a. million
and a third more from its loans on mortgage
security if need be in a few- months. In an
interview with the President, Mr. Hanford
Lyon, he informed us that the bank is per-
fectly sound, is not impaired in the least de-
gree, and is able to pay every cent it owes to
everybody. At ameeting of the Board of
Trustees, Thursday afternoon, it was deter-~
mined “to pay and keep paying so long as
depositors ask for the cash.” It is reported
that one depositor drew out $700 and went
away only to return after a while and wait.

_ WESTPORT.
During eight weeks a committee of gen tie-
mnn have passed up and down, among this
people agitating the subject of celebrating
the 22d'of February, by giving a dinner in-
honor of the Father of his Country, at Na-
tional Hall, or some other place, and inviting
all the old folks in town to partake thereof.
At the outset, the scheme was popular with
the committee, and the people believed the
sight of so many vetrans munching hot mince
pies, gumming roast turkey. and storing away
cake and custard which were not to cost a
cent, would enable them to travel back on
the wings of memory into the years of another
century where men lived to demonstrate
principals, and thus rekindle in their bosoms
the expiring fires of patriotism. The com-
mittee were active in presenting the case and
in striving to bring people to their way of
thinking. They canvassed the town and
found upwards of 300 Old folks in it—enongh
they said, to warrant making a lively demon-
stration—The newspaper men ’wro te descrip-
tive articles about dinners and made the
world believe we were about .to eclipse our-
selves‘ and out do our neighbors. The old
folks themselves were delighted with the
idea of setting at meals in a public hall, as
proposed, especially as all was. to be free.
At this joyful juncture the committeee dis-
covered that the item of expense had been
overlooked; but after due deliberation it was
agreed that the dinner must cost somebody
something. Should it be the committee?
Not much! The labor of getting the thing
up was enough for them. Should they ap-
peal to the public for money ? No. The
public wanted all it could get to pay bridge
bills and keep Gorliam out on his lamp con-
tract. Should they ask the old folks ? Happy
thought! They at Once book’d it. Of course
the old folks would be willing to invest the .
paltry sum of one dollar, when, by so doing,
it would secure them much pleasure, and
make everybody else so happy. But when
the subjegt was broached, the old folks said
they’d rather have the dollar than the enter-
tainment.‘ In fact, a number of them said,
“we don't want to exhibit ourselves anyhow.”
This was a sticker for the committee-who,
after feeling tenderly among the vetrans were
obliged to pronounce them dead as door nails
socially, and that they had within them not
one half so much enthusiasm as could be
found in the north-east corner of a country
smoke house. Further efforts to celebrate
the 22d, being useless, the committee so re-
ported Wednesday, adjourned sine die, and
the advocates of the scheme arenowquot-
ing, “The King of France with twice ten
thousand men, matched up the hill, and then

Tuesday afternoon the funeral of the late
Mrs. James E. Lees took place at the Con-
gregational church. Deceased had been long
identified with the Sunday school, and was
for some years organist of the church. Many
sorrowing friends were in attendance. The
remains were taken into the church at 2
o’clock, Messrs. James E. Hubbell, D. L.
Staples, A. W. Bradley, B. A. Williams, W.
T. Wood and C. S. Wakeman acting as pall-
bearers. The casket enelosed in black cloth
bore upon its lid, a floral cross and harp, and
a mat of white flowers displaying the words,
“Gone Home.” The pew once occupied by
deceased was draped in black and trimmed
with flowers. Rev. Dr. Sanderson conduct-
ed the services, and in his sermon paid an
eloquent tribute to the character of deceased.
The choir, consisting of Miss Sarah A. Meek?
er, soprano; Miss Mary Kemper, alto; Chas.
H. Taylor, tenor; E. Wheeler, bass, sang,
“Asleep in Jesus,” and “Jesus, lover of my
Soul." The remains were buried in Ever-
green Cemetery, in the vaultvof Mr. John
Keyser. ‘
The “Compo” auction sale of the goods
chattels of Mr. S. H. Alden, Thursday, turn-
ed out to be all on one side. Attracted by
the notice posted on the town pump, bidders
were plenty, some coming from Norwalk,
Wilton, ‘ Southport, all intent on securing
good bargains. "Mr. Janice Mitchell, who
will notgeta chance to roast that. fat ox in
honor of Tilden’s election, acted as auction-
eer. Every article in the house was sold, but
none save a Mr. Noxon, succeeded in buying
anything. Mitchell covered himself with
glory. The crowd felt that,‘though they had
not offered themselves for sale, they had yet
been most completely sold. ,
[The impression, perhaps naturally, gained
ground that the- sale was a sham, and the
articles bought in for Mr. Alden. ., We have
the best of authority for stating that such
was not the case, but- that the sale of every
article was bomflde. The Place has passed, -
legally, into the possession of a .Mr. Noxon,
in part liquidation of a judgment obtained
against Mr. Alden. The furniture was also
sold to satisfy the same claim, and by advice
of counsel was all bought by Mr. Noxon, so
that the house would remain completely
furnished, ready for rental. He paid a good
price for some things,‘but taken altogether
he probably got the things at a fair valuation.
Of course, however, to carry out his plan, he
could afford to pay more, if necessary, than
other parties, so that those who hoped to
secure rich bargains were disappointed .—

Westport is ahead of any in the State in
some things. Take the sale at Alden's, for
instance. Everything bought in at large
prices and no delay. Ten thousand dollars
worth sold in six hours, all for cash. What
would Norwalk do were it not'for Westport
furnishing business for some of their smart-
est men. This great auction sale was made
through Norwalk’s crack auctioneer. . It is
the most surprising thing on record, this sale.
There is a homely saying, “dear bought and
far fetched,” and it is one of the chief points
in matters of trade. We see it verified here.
Take the article of building materials. They
are daily being transported each way. It is
true cvertyhing for building and completing
a house can be had at one place in Westport,
where they claim to sell aslow as can be had
in the State, yet we see lumber,&c., parricd
each way almost daily, the transportation of
which must be at least two dollars per thou-
sand. They, the rising generation, must be
smart to sell lumber two dollars per thou-
sand less in Norwalk than the oldest dealer
in the State, who has followed the business
here for fifty years, yet the old saying “Dear
bought and far fetched,” must be verified
and is true as holy writ. *

Snvnx Turns MARRIED—On the 30th ult.
Benjamin Abbott and Mrs. Mary Pratt were
weiided at Smyrna, Del. This is the seventh
time the bride has been led to the altar, and
the Smyrna Times prints some interesting
gosaip concerning her past life. The con-
tracting parties to these nuptials, it says, are
well up the ascending grade to 80 years. The
groom is a quiet,unassuming old man, a -.wid-
ower, with means enough (particularly if
combined with her income) to meet his not
very numerous wants. The bride was the
relict of the err-Sheriff Henry Pratt, of . Kent
county, who was the last anti-democratic
sheriff who has filled that office in that coun-
ty. He was electal sheriff in 1844 by the
whigs. His descendants, children, grand-
/
children,and great-grandchildren, at the time .
of his marriage, numbered over 156, and yet
he had never then had but one death in his
family—his first wife. Mrs. Abbott’s names
have been eight in all—Miss Williams, Mrs.
Fruax, Mrs. Farrow, Mrs. Riggs, Mrs, Wal-
lace, Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Pratt, and now Mrs.
Abbott. “In every instance,says The Times‘,
“save the first, she has married a widower,
some of them with a goodly number of
children. She, however, has never sustain-
ed the maternal relationship by consanguinity
Shc was reared in this community, as have
been all her husbands, so far as we can learn,
and hence her record has been as an open
book to all her seven companions; yet record,
age nor aught else seems to work fataly to
“the charm that wins,” whatever it may be—
and to find that out is. the rub. The five
years'and over of widowhood that existed
between her last and her present husband is
the longest she has endured. This, however,
may not be wholly her fault,as we are certain
that, in one instance at least, she offered to
share her comfortable home with one of our
most worthy old. citizens, but the mere prop-
osition filled him with fear and trembling,
and to avoid a repetitionhe hurriedly married
a young lady in her teens, with whom, and
his little prattler, he is now enjoying the'
fullest share of domestic bliss. We have no
intimation, however, that her numerous con-
quests have been made by open,dircct assault.
On the 'contrary, we think they have not. It
has been asserted on good authority that she
has confessed to a presentiment that she
should have seven husbands. She now en

RAT Fisnixc.-Wc have fished for rats
with a hook and line, and yanked them from
the hole screaching and screaming in a lively
manner.
have got plenty of rats around the house,
just take ahook, attach a light. wire five or
six inches long to it, then attach a stout
string to the wire, and baiting your hook
With a small piece of tough meat, sit down
near the rat hole with your book in the hole
under the floor, and see how the the goose
fiefli will break out on you when you get a
bite. And when you feel that the rat is
booked, the goose flesh will give way to
prickly heat as you pull the yelling rodent
out into daylight and slap him against some-
thing hard to remind him that you are' boss
of the situation. Try it, and see if the rat
don’t make it lively for you for a minute or
so. —Poughkeepsz'e Eagle.

Here is still another story concerning the
late Mr. Nye : He was once engaged in try-
ing acase at the Circuit, in one of the south—
ern tier of counties, the presiding judge be-
ing unfortunately peevish and irritable, as
well as rather dull of comprehension. Gen.
Nye had not only cross-examined a witness
at great length, but had frequently put the
same questions, which the judge had frequent-
ly ruled against as improper. At last the
patience of the judge was exhausted, and he
. rebuked Gen. Nye for his course, and petu-
lantly asked him : “Gen. Nye, what do you
think I am sitting here for ?” Nye looked
up at the bench, and with a grave counte-
nance, but with a twinkle in his eye, ans-
wered codlly and composedly. “You have
got me this time, your Honor.”

On the front of Mount Willard is a cave
called the Devil's Den. A New York gen-
tleman, in search of fame, caused himself to
be lowered into it, and deposited his cane and
abottle of whisky. But the Irish laborers
on the railway heard of it', climbed the
mountain, lowered one of their number into
the cave, and need we say that the whisky is
no longer there ? ‘ ‘

Disease Grow: Apace,
Like a‘l wind, and cannot be mastered too early
What is a trifling attack of sickness to-day, may,
if unattended to, become a serious case in a week.
Small ailments should be nipped In the bud before
they blossom into full blown maladies. If this
advice was attendcdto, many a heavy bill for med
ical attendance might be avoided. W hen the
liver is disordered, the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed, or the nerves disturbed, resort should
at once be had It once to that supreme remedy
Hostcttcr’s Stomach Bitters, a low doses ol‘which
will restore healthy action and put the system in _,
perfect order. It is a wise precaution to keep this
incomparable preventatii e in the house, since it
checks, with unrivalled promptitudc, disbrders
which breed others far more dangerous, and in
their latest developments are themselves often
fatal. 1m6
Before the superior court at Litchfieid,this
Week, the case of George C. Hitchcock oer-
sua Henry Upson, (both of New Preston ,) has
attracted considerable interestLThe plaintiff is
a well-known horse-dealer, and the defendant
the minister of the New Preston Hill church.
Till about two years ago they were fast
friends, and the defendant had the use, of a.
number of the plaintiff’s horses, gratuitously,
as he swore, but with the promise of pay in
some instances, as the plaintiff testified. The
plaintiff’s bill deducting a credit of $75 cash,
amounted to $550. The defendant offered a
long bill of counter-items as a set-off, ambunt-
ing to some $700. The case was submitted
without argument, greatly to the disgust 'of
the crowd who were expecting fun. J udg-
ment was finally rendered fer the plaintiff to
recover $12 and costs. ' ' .

The latest and most ingenious plan of using
postal cards is to write the message on another
piece of paper, and then use the card as a
blotter. As they are very porous, an exact
impression will be produced, which only can
be read by holding it up to a mirror. Hence
any lover may now be both sentimental and
economical, and also have no fears that any
