The children of the Center School gave a
pleasing entertainment, Friday afternoon,
consisting of recitations and dialogues. The
name of Washington was especially COlll-

such efforts of their children to please. Mrs.
J. Benedict was the only parent present. She
deserves praise.
The children of tlic Titicus district gave
an exhibition at the school-house Friday
evening. IVe have no deilbt but that it was
good. We believe there is talent enough in
our schools to give an interesting entertain- -

culablc benefit to the scholars, and would
re-act favorably upon the schools.
Our newly fledged Grand Jurorslarc met
early in their official career with questions of
great responsibility; whether to prosecute
a teacher for an allggcd severe whipping of a
boy, and parties for assault and battery. The
latter was inflicted upon the person of Albert
Burt by one Rasco, and Johnney Burt,
nephew of the injured party. The afl‘ray
was upon Burt’s Pond, where _ it seems peo—
ple ought to keep cool, if iii their natural
state. Be careful gentlemen! Remember
our town Treasury is poor, with no money
for useless law-suits. If people want the
luxury of fighting, let them pay for the fun.
If a child is punished severely, but not

say a good deal about the good old times.
One of the good old ways was for the parent
to tell his child, “If you are whipped at
school I will whip you again at home.” The
upholding of a child in wrong doing is doing
'a great injury.

The man in good worldly circumstances,

lewitz, fermchy of this place, keeps a little
grocery in Weston. He resides close by. A
week or two ago he lost the key to the store
and never found it. He obtained another
key, and nightly he looked the store and re-
tired in the belief that his property would be
safe. Each morning ashc entered the store
after losing the key, he missed various a‘rti-
‘clcs of merchandise, and so regularly as to
excite suspicion that something was wrong
about the premises. He resolved to set a
watch, and last Tuesday night he heard
strange noises in the store. He went thither,
turned the bolt in the lock with his key,'but
was frustrated by parties inside pushing
against it. He went to the back door with a
like result. Presently the rascals. scenting
danger, as Mr. Ii. had called assistance, run
' up stairs, aild finding they were pursued, one
jumped out of the second story window and
made his csrzipe. I'lc was,captured and gave
the name of White. The other thief gave
the name of Nichols, and it turns out that he
is a grandson of the late Hanford Nichols, of
Weston. Mr. Bollewitz found in the store a
can belonging to Nichols, partly filled with-
stolen oil. The two were taken into custody
by sheriff Crofut.

The creation of a school for boys in West-
port in 1842, by the late William H. Richards
——an institution which he conducted in the
interests of progress .during the period of
nearly eighteen years, has demonstrated how
much good may be accomplished by the ex-
ercise of talent of a high order, coupled with
effort to confer the most good on the greatest
number. Some of the graduates of that
school remain in Westport, but the major
number of them have gone forth into the
world. The patrons of that school, who will
never cease to admire the character of an in-
structor who stood so high in his profession,
are to-day regretting the flat which threw
,them from the line of ascending gradeS'in
study, and precipitated them to the steadily
moving but common-place district schools.
During the years from 1845 to 1863, strangers
looked toward Westport confidently believing
that they could locate here and secure the
education of their children in all the ordina-
ry branches of learning, and as the conduct
of that school and the precepts and example
of it sprincipal are called to mind, the loss
sustained by its termination is apparent. To
day we see our resources developing on every
hand. \Ve have advanced rapidly in some
things during thirty-two years, and our town
has become one of the desirable points for
residence near the metropolis. Brit as men
of family turn their eyes hither, they remark
that, while ,nature has indeed been liberal
with us, and art and capital have embellished
and enhanced, there is a drawback,and view-
ing the same in all its bearings, they decide
to find homes elsewhere That draw—back is
the low grade of the public schools. We
look at Norwalk, and even at little New Ca-
naan, with their graded schools in successful
operation, and hope and wish for the time to
come when we may sustain ourselves on the
same plane with them. The situation of
Westport geographically, its railroad and wa-
ter facilities are equal tothe best. Only one
thing is needed to make the town as a place
of residence absolutely perfect, and that is
the establishment of a graded school. Who
will take the lead in a movement looking to
the accomplishment of that end ?

BATTLE wrrrr A RAT :—Last week Monday, ‘
Miss Sally Barnes, aged nearly 70 years, had
an experience at her house on Wolfpit Hills.
The house had long been infested with rats:
which at night sometimes was troublesome,
but by day seldom put in an appearance. On
this occasion they were extra bold and essay-
cd a personal interview. Miss B. was seated
in her chair, when she heard noises between
the' plastering and flooring above, resembling
the sound of many cornshellers separating
corn from very stubborn cobs.‘ The house
fairly shook. Presently a portion of the wall
gave way and down came a great overgrown
rat. As good luck would have it the {at fell
plump into a pail half filled with water, in
which he did some dextrous swimming. Miss
B. struck the rat several blows with her staff
but she was too much excited to inflict injury
and the intruder escaped taking refuge in the
fire place. A Mrs. Coggswcll was present,
and the two sought to prevent Mr. flat as.
cending the chimney. The rat; finding him-
self cornered, advanced upon his pursuers,
and with an unearthly squealjumped forward
and seized the middle finger of Miss B’s right
‘liand with his teeth taking out a large piece
of flesh. She had all she wanted to do to
shake the varmint off. History gives no in-
stance of rat passion and biting tendency
equal to this. It is feared Miss B’s injury
may prove a serious one. A gross or two of
rat traps might be baited and set to advantage
on .Wolfpit Hills. “ Part.”

A MOTHER’S sass-A few years ago a
company of Indians were captured on' the
Western frontier. Among them were a. num-
ber of stolen children. They had been with the
savages for years. Word was sent through-
out the region, inviting all who had lost chil—
dren to come and see if among the little cap-
tives they could recognize their own. A long
way off was a woman who had been robbed
‘of her darlings —a boy and a girl. With min-
gled hope and fear she came -, r, and with
eyes filled with mother-love earnestness,
peered into their faces one after another; but
there was nothing in any that she could claim.
Nor was there anything in her to light up
their cold faces. Withthe dullzpain of despair
spair heart, she was turning away, when she
paused, choked back the tears, and in soft,
clear notes began a simple song she used to
sing to her little ones of Jesus and heaven.
Not a line was completed before a boy and a.
irl ran. from the oup, exclaiming,
fiManfiiha lgmamma l” angrshe folded her lost
ones to her bosom. So lives a mother’s early
influence in the hearts of her children.

CHEAP GATES as A SUBSTITUTE FOR Bans.
-—A writer in‘ the Rural Home says : I have
just made gates to replace some old fashion-
ed pairs of bars that I am heartily tired of
opening and shutting. They are cheap, dur-
able and very easily made. Each gate. is
twelve feet in length by four feet in height.
Five boards four inches wide are used, be-
sides battens and braces. Batterns should be
placed on both sides, making three thick-
nesses to nail through. It does not take
more than thirty-three feet -of boards, worth
perhaps sixty cents, to make each grate.
Add to that ten cents for nails, and the value
of one hour of your time, and you have the
whole expense. A gate of this kind will
outlive a framed one costing $4, and as no
hinges are used, that expense is saved also.
It is held in position by means of a stake
driven in the ound four or five inches from
the post ; not in a straight line, but- a little
more than the thickness of the gate toward
the driveway, so that when 0 encd the gate
can be turned half way aroun and be par-
allel with the driveway. It is kept a few
inches from the groundby a strip nailed to
both stake and post, on which one end rests
when shut, and on which it slides half its
length and then swings round as on a pivot
when opened. The'strip is usually placed
under the second board, in a space arranged
for it by cutting away two of the battens.
This strip takes the place of hinges. A gate
of this kind can be made in much less time
and at as little expense as a pair of bars, and
is certainly much more convenient.

The Horse Chestnut Tree.
Musslts. EDITORS i—Tlie value of this tree
as yet appear to be little'known or apprecia-
ted in this country other than as a flowing
shade tree, yet the bark-of this tree contains
twice the quantity of tanning principle as
that of the oak, and of coloring matter twice
that of the best of Campeachy logwood. Its
coloring matters as chemically stated are as
1875 to 1. _
The leather manufactured from this tau-
ning is firmer, more solid and flexible than
that from oak tanning; It also contains a
most powerful basisfor black dyes and ink.
This ink set witlrcopperas changes to a blu-
ish black. Its liquor extract, by boiling ap-
pears bluc like indigo, but it produces on pa-
per a most excellent and durable black. In
dying it possesses more affinity with wool
than the sumach, and its colors contains that
rare virtue in a dye, permanency of color.
There are many unproductive, if not waste
places, where the horse chestnut would thrive
and be both ornamental and also profitable to
the owners. ,
N. B.—It has been stated that the “Mir-
ror" or large Spanish Chestnut, secuoccasion-
ally in our own markets and common abroad,
is produced by cngrafting the common
chestnut into the stock of the horse chestnut.
The young tree, when the stock has attained
the size of two or more inches in diameter,
is sawed off and the stock slightly split; four
scions or grafts are inserted and grow rapidly,
and produce in a few years abundantly, and
continue for many years,even for one or more
centuries. The wood cut off for the purpose
of engrafting, is stripped of its bark, which
is used for tanning, the wood for dyeing, as
stated. R.

The trusting and forgiving disposition of
Mr. Tilden shines out in his treatment of the
young man Pclton. Tis Pelton had been
warmed in Mr. Tilden’s bosom, so far as the
low temperature of Mr. 'l‘ilden's bosom would
allow, and the young man shamefully betray-
ed his confiding kinsman. He dishonored
the home which sheltered him by introducing
into the library a wire, with Gobble and Pat~
its Western end. He trifled with his uncle's
good name, and suffered him without a pro-
test to lie under the unparalleled infamy of
plotting while a Presidential candidate for
the purchase of governors, editors, and elect-
ors. Young Mr. Pelton has manifcsted no
remorse nor penitence for his evil-doing, and
no shdi‘nc nor discomposurc on account of
his detection; and yet although it is sharper
than a serpent’s tooth to have a thankless
nephew, Mr. Tilden does not thrust him
away and disown him. On the contrary he
sends him to Washington, to be a conspic-
uous figure in the solemnlties upon which the
world is gazing, accredited as his confiden-
tial repr.cntativc. He even fills him with
fuel and promotes him to the position of ten-
der to the Hon. David D. Field, the recogni-
zed donkey-engine which keeps the Demo-
cratic obstruction mill in full clatter. And
all this shows Mr. Tilden’s clemency and
charity. Or does it prove that Mr. Tilden
feels remotely responsible for the young
man’s lapse from virtue? It was Mr. Tilden
who placed him in the Literary Bureau, and
perhaps his moral muscle was not yet suffic-
iently matured and hardened for the strain
of such service. It may have been Literature
that broke him down. Who knows ?— Tribune.

Adelaide Neilson has secured her divorce
from Philip Lee, her husband. Of Lee’s ad-
ventures a‘r reaching America the New
York World says :— .
She was accompanied on this first visit by
her husband, whose comparitive lack of come-
liness led to the couple being known as “ The
Beauty and the Beast,” Lee arrived here a
“ Britisher ” of the most ultra type; he knew
little or nothing of America, and was ready to
receive impressions. He was acquainted with
Sothern, and Sothern was ready to give hiin
impressions. As soon as he arrived, all man-
ner of stories concerning the customs of the
country were poured intohis astonished ears,
and shortly afterwards, Sothern invited him
to a dinner where he should meet “ some of
America’s most distinguished men.” Sothern
presided, next to him sat Lee and on the othtr
side sat W. J. Florence. There were present
also Dan Bryant, who was introduced as “ Mr.
Bryant, the poet ; ” Nelse Seymour, who
passed for Mr. Whittier, and a number of
others equally notable as authors and poets.
Mr. Sothern’s guests, except Lee, were duly
informed of the designs of their host—designs
which were faithfully executed. In the mid-
dle of the dinner Florence reached out to take
Sothern’s sachcllar. Sothern instantly pull-
ed out a six shooter and, pointing it at Flor-
ence,'ordered him “ to put that salt-cellar
back." Floremc, with an oath, drew a bowie
knife and jumped up. Then the gas went
out, four or five pistol-shots were fired, the
party broke up, and Lee was found by the
waiters—under the table unliurt, but ready
to return to England forthwith.

Stewart’s Hotel for Women, at thirty-ste-

pected to be ready for 00:11 )ancy l y the fi st
of next year. A large number of workmen
are now employed on it, and the contractors
will soon increase the number, in order that
the work may be speedily completed. The
furniture for the hotel has been ordered, and
part of it has been delivered. There will be
accommodations for sales-women, working
women, women engaged in literature, sci-
ence, and art—in fact, for all guests weo coul-
ply with the rules of the house, which will
be identical with those of all first-class lio-

ADVICE T0 Guns—An exchange says :—~
“Why will girls. run away to get married?”
“We give it up,” answers the Louisville
Courier-Journal. “But wedmow a lot here
who would be glad enough to stay at home,
or jump at the chance to walk off and get
married. The boys ain’t around asking them
like they did. It takes more money to run
one of them now-a-days than it does to run a
steamboat. Ah ! girls, it’s your own fault.
Swap off your silks and satins for lawns and
calicccs ; shut up the piano and dive into
the wash-tub; throw awayyour fancy needle—
work and tackle a red-hot stove in the kitch-
en. Instead of taking Brown, the banker’s
son, in the parlor, keep your eye skinned for
Bill Burns, the black-smith’s son, as he goes
honle from work; kisshis dirty face through
a broken pane of glass in the kitchen window,
and after awhile, when he has learned his,
trade and you know your business, get mar-
ried, go to housekeeping by yourselves, help
each other, live happily, raise a family that
will be an honor to your names and credit to
themselves, die happy, and the angels will
not turn their backs upon you up there.”

Fioii'r TO THE END—A colored preacher
in this vicinity recently addressed his congre-
gation at a revival meeting as follows :
“ Now, my mournin’ frens, you comes heah
an' you means, an’ rolls, an’ habs a ulighty
struggle wid de debbil, night arter night, an’
when you’s might near loose you gits right
up an’ goes rioht back into dc debbil’s arms
agin. Now, I tells you, my frens, dirt won't
do, you never git away from de debbil dirt
way. You’s jes like do lightnln’ bug! When
you git down an’ moan, au’ roll, an’ holler,
you shows your light, like do lightnin’ bug do
when he raise his tell an’ spread his wings.
When you its up an’ oes rouu’ laughin’ an’
talkin’, an’ oolin' wi dc debbi' you puts
your light under dc bushel, an you jis’ like de
lightnin’ bug when he shuts downhis wings.
Den he ain’t no mo’ like a lightnin’ bug dan
any other bug, an’ you knows it.—Now, lets’
i
but git down to work agin dc debbil in year-
nest.”—Jaclt'son Slaw - .
