. UWINNIPAUK.
B,:S. Keith, Esq., has just completed a
neat addition to his pleasant residence.
Yesterday the Norwalk Mills 00. resumed
operations at their Mill for the purpose of
working Off the stock in process of manufac-
ture, this will occupy nearly two months ;

it is to be hoped that some arrangement will,

be made in the interim which will enable
them to continue operations.

J. C. Randlc our enterprising Post-master,
notwithstanding the local depression has
been remodeling his office, the frontage is
graced with a neat Black Walnut letter box
the handiwork of W. S. Bartram, Esq.,
which adds a dignity commensurate with the
importance of the office.

On Wednesday of last week, the Rev. Mr.

Hamilton of the Board of School Visitorsp

made a thorough examination of the Gram-
mar department of our district school, which
is under the immediate tuition of Mr. Henry
Chasmm'. The examination proved conclu-
sively that the school had made a rapid ,ad-
vance under Mr. Cliasmar’s teaching. The
familiarity of the scholars, with the rules
governing their studies, showed a thorough-
ness in teaching very gratifying to the par.
cuts and friends who visited in goodly num-
bers; at the conclusion of the examination
encouraging and congratulatory remarks were
made by BradlcyS, Keith, J amcs E. Milner;
Seldon H. Bowker and Andrew \Vardrop,
of the district and Rev. Mr. Hamilton and
C. W. LeCount, Esq., of the Board. On
Wednesday, (to-morrow), an examination of
the Primary department, Miss Clara I-lull,
teacher, will be held commencing at 10
o’clock, A. M., and of the Intermediate dc-
partment, Miss Sarah Hull, teacher, at 2
o’clock, P. M. The parents and friends are
cordially invited to be present. ,

The Lecture which was to be delivered at
the school house, to-morrow evening, by
Rev. Otis J. Range, G. W. C. T., of Own,
has been postponed until the evening of the
4th of April», on account of the District Con-
vention to be held at Norwich, at which Mr.
Range is engaged to be present.

Old Oakcn Bucket Lodge, I. O. of G. T.,
have received and accepted an invitation to
participate in the anniversary meeting of
Wilton Division, S. of T., this evening.

The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Co.
talk of establishing a TelegraphStation here;
it islimc. They have advertised it as such
for several months. '

Just previous to the suspension at the Nor-
walk Mills, a neat and commodions freight
house was constructed by them and an addi-
tion made to their designing room in which
was put a Crompton Pattern loom which was
the only piece of machinery saved from the
J. A. Smith A: Co’s. mill at Cherry Valley,
which with the other mills in the Valley,
were swept away by the bursting of the
Lynde Brook Reservoir in March 1876.

The recent Public Meeting of the Good
Templars was a very interesting affair. The
speaking was effective, the singing good but
the paper read by Sister Nellie Han'ford was
pronounced by all to be the best part of the
programme.

The Mechanics’ Library Association are
putting thick paper covers on all their books.

Mr. Adam McNaughton has closed his en-
.gagement here and has engaged with a Car-
pet Firm in Philadelphia. Mr. Thomas Les-
ter and family with Miss Ada Holt sailed for
England Saturday. Mr. Richard Evans, an
old-timc-resident has emigrated to Stamford.

RIDGEFIELD.

The weather improves.

Friday and Saturday were beautiful days.

The gallant general Kilpatrick was in town
long enough Saturday evening to give a bril—
liant lecture, and then disappeared as fast as
a. fleet pair of horses could take him. The
lecture was not well attended owing no doubt
to bad roads and Lent. It was a just tribute
to the brave courage and untiring patriotism
of the Irish soldiers in all ages and every
land, and especially in our own, both in the
war of the Revolution and the late Rebellion.
Patrick Henry, Stark, Sheridcn and Phil.
Kearney were most eloquently eulogized.

Ridgefield claims a little honor in the re-
appointment of her noble son, Prof. Cyrus
Northrop as collector of the Port of New
Haven. '

The Hewlett place was not sold as adver-
tised. The sale was postponed two weeks.

Charles Smith’s place in West Lane is to
be sold at auctiOn, next Thursday, if not
previously disposed of.

The annual meeting of the Congregational
church and society takes place Tuesday, the
27th, at 1 p. m. The subject of horse sheds
again agitates the public mind.

The death of Mrs. Hawley Hull, Wed-
nesday night, was a great surprise, as her
sickness which was a short one, had not been
generally known. She leaves a large circle
of friends. Her family has the sympathy
of all. _

“M’oving day”is close at hand.

N. Dikeman goes to Norwalk. W asliing-
ton Corleus to Kent. Charles Hoyt moves
into Dr. Adams tenement house ; Geo. Brun-
dage, into John Halpin’s house ; Homer
Sammie moves to Brewster Station. F. L.
Smith has rented Charles Gallagher’s place,
West Lane. William Edmond’s has rented
a house of S. O. Northrop. L. N. Thomas
commences house keeping in the house of
John Sherwood ; Young Scott in the Part-
riek place, Flatrock ; ,t‘his’place was recently
purchased by a brother of 'Treadwell Avery,
where he will make his home.

The discovery Of stolen goods near the
residence Of Ebenotus Burt may lead to in-
teresting developments. Mr. Burt is now
supported at public expense at Bridgeport.
His return to this town is not particularly
desired, and this discovery may lead to his
further detention.

J. 7L. Hunt, has enlarged his business. He
sends a car from Danbury every Monday.

Mr. BishOp is improving. .

Dr. J. C. Kendall is to succeed Dr. Ulile at
Norwalk. We are glad'lie is going to a. place
where merit is always rewarded with success.
He is a graduate of Yale. Has pursued his
medical studies in the University of Penn-
sylvania and the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, New York city, where he gradu-
ated. He has the experience of a term in
Bellevue Hospial as House Physician and a
large Dispensary practice in New York. He
is deserving of all confidence. '

Dr. C. H. Kendall is to open a dental
office in Norwalk, leaving his practice in So.
Norwslk, to his son, Geo. S. Kendall.

If Ridgefield is not as good a place to live
in as Norwalk, it is a good place to live in,
as yum must know, for upwards of twenty
five Ridgefield familes live in your town. We
still further add to yam-industries by sending
about thirty commuters each day to work in
your shops.

The large willow near John Benedict’s is
being made into firewood, and will soon be
one of the things that were.

Mr. E. W. Hibbert, having been successful
in his business enterprises in New Haven,
has again made Ridgcfield his home, buying
the Alfred Stephens place. He is putting
the house in first rate condition.

The Legislature has legalized the doings of
the 10th school district. Let the business
now be closed up. ' .

Dennis Cornen is home from the oil regoins.

“Something is to be did" with the old town

house soon.

Mr. William E. Sturges, our genial village
shoe dealer has gone into the “Pond Lily”
business, be having purchased a. craft by that‘

name.
Frost all out, and the ground settled in

many places, farmers are likely to succeed in
planting the first installments of their onion
seed, and those anticipating a mess of pota—

will “turn the old sod” now with end in view.

A village young man has been getting one
of those new style “Aberdeen” stand-up col-
lars—very starchy. With that collar on,
straining itself a degree a half above the ears,
he looks like a man trylng to hide himself
behind the lease clapboards 'of a hai-ii.yard
A citizen met him and said,
“Well, got yer side-boards on aint ye? How
much d‘c ye hold, when you’re loadid up.”

Good time to fill up with gravel some of
those mean places on Main Street.

Information wanted which will lead to the
detection and conviction of the party or par-
ties who last passed, in any capacity, over
the east side road—that road which cost the
town a clean $1,000—to say nothing of out-
raged tax payers whose indignation was ob-
solutely thrown away. .

“More nice than wise,”~—the Westport
horse railroad company’s instruction to the
conductors to collect from persons riding on
the cars from the drawbridge to the road’s
terminus, (about 100 feet), the sum of five
cents, or half fare. At this rate, in the near
future, citizens may expect to be charged a
cent for each lime for looking at the cars.

As seen from West Avenue, the sitting
room windows of Mrs. Barnum, Mrs. Robert
Snagg and Mrs. 0. I. Jones look like sections
of some thriving green-house, so profusely
are each supplied with plants and real blos-
soms.

purchased Mr. Oscar I. Jones’ place, for a
parochial residence—price $5,000. Rumor
says further that it is contemplated by the
peopleof Assumption church to build a church
of stone on the new premises and abandon
the wooden structure. . -

The blue'glass fever has reached the village
and has so impressed the hardware merchants
that, forgetting conscience should be allowed
to govern business actions, they ask from 75
cents to $1.00 per foot for. the glass. The
sober-minded will be glad to' know how all
creation can be cured of its diseases, when
such stiff prices for remedies are maintained.

A concert of vocal music is acceptable, and
helps drive away sadness even in Lent.
Thanks to Mr. E. P. Smith and the ladies
and gentlemen associated with him, for Mon.
day afternoon and evening’s favor.

The committee appointed to solicit sub-
scriptions for'the purpose of erecting a new
house for Vigilant Engine, say those on the
east side to whom they have applied refuse
to contribute on the ground that Vigilant isa
west side institution, and west side men
should look after its interests. Literally this
is true, but suppose a fire occurs on the east
side, and Vigilant boys refuse to turn out.
What would these men say? Clearly they
would be loud in their denunciations. A fire
engine is kept for the general good, and it is
no more than right that citizens without re-
gard to locality assist in supporting it, “Com-
po” engine is an east sidcr, and until the ad-
vent of “Vigilant,” found strong friends on
west side, and she hasn’t lost them yet.

Services will- be held in both Episcopal

. churches every day this week, which is Pas-

sion Week. Regular services morning and
afternoon of Good Friday. At Christ church
Thursday evening, in commemoration of the
institution of the Holy Eucharist, a special
service will be held.

A fine Alderney cow belonging to Mr. S. .

Taylor last week got into a barrel of meal
standing in the barn. She came out a barrel
of meal. The load was'greatcr than nature
intended she should carry. And she yielded
up the ghost.

April 2d will be a lively moving day.

“Jerry,” Mr. Chas. Elwood’s deceased horse

organization is for good and it deserves the
subport of all.

Mr. H. Sawyer, organist of the Universal-
ist church, has resigned, to take charge of an
organ in a church in New York, as we hear,
at a larger salary, and Prof. Woeltge will re-
turn to his former place on Easter Sunday,
after an absence of two years.

On Tuesday about noon, a fire broke out in
a barn at Newfield, owned by W. R. Ritcb,
Esq. The building, with its contents Of hay,
etc., was destroyed in ashort time. The total
loss is $1,250, on which there is an insurance
in the Springfield Co. for $800. The fire is
believed to have been maliciously started.

The Woman who wanted Nothing.

“Well, what can I do for you ?” asked a
richly-dressed lady of a neat young woman
who was awaiting her in the hall.

“I’m in the city alone, and my work failed
and—” . _

“Now, my good woman,” said the lady,
“I’m going out this morning, and have no
time to waste. Do you want clothing for
the winter ?.” .

“No, madam,” replied the stranger, with
flushed cheeks, “but—”

“You want a little money to pay your
board tillwork begins, do you ?”

“No, madam; I have ten dollars in my
purse yet. I want to tell you how I am situ-
ated, because I have heard that you were very
kind to the'poor and to strangers,and I thought
you could help me.” 7 -

“But you don’t want anything;” replied
the lady, just a little impatiently. She could
give money ' very easily; but she grudged
her time when she had engagements that
promised pleasure.

“I want work, madam,” continimd the
girl. “I can sew well, and I am willing to
do it at half the usual prices, till my works
begins.” ' . ' ‘

“What can you do ?"

“Plain sewing of all kinds, and boys’
clothes," was the modest reply.

“I hnve nothing of that kind. ,Canyou
embroider ?”

“No, madam.”

“Then I cannot help you. ”

“I thought perhaps among your friends
you might—” -

A shadow of displeasure passed over the
lovely 'face as the lady replied, “but you
surely cannot expect me to run about 'look-
ing for work for you! If you have nothing
else to do, why not do that yourself?”

. “I have tried ten days in vain."_

“If I was in your place, I would go from
door to door, and never give up till I had
found some honest work. If you can’t get
just what you want, you must take what
you can get. There is work enough in the
world, we all know. If you need a. little
money I‘will give it to you; but that is all
I can do."

“Thank you; I have what money I need
just now,” said the woman sadly.

The door closed on her, and she said to
herself, “She would not hear me, or I would
have told her that I had rung at more than a
thousand doors, and that nine hundred and
fifty of them were shut in my face by ser-
vants. I would have told her that I had an
aged mother who can also work, but who
cannot eat the bread of charity.”

'The lady went back to her friends, and
said, “So provoking! It was a decent-look-
ing young woman out of work, who wanted
nothing but work! I offered her clothing
or money, but she declined both—as if I kept
aready-made clothing store, or had an in-
telligence office; and nothing to do but run
about shops for her accommodation! And
she owned that she had ten dollars in her
purse that moment. I declare the assurance
of such folks is unbounded." And the lady
went off with an easy mind because, as she
said, “this applicant wanted nothing.” _ _

Now one great lesson the benevolent should
learn is, that the most pressing want is often
among high-minded working people, who
will not, till forced to do so, eat the bread of
dependence. . ~

The easiest thing in the world for a man
or woman with plenty of money, is to give a
little of it away. Sacrifice consists in giving
that which is not easy, but which may be
far more useful-a little ,kind interest and
personal effort for others. In no possible
Way can we help the poor so well as,,by aid-
ing them in getting work.

A gentleman or a lady can often influence
work where the applicant would not get a

which would otherwsie have been given the
merely unemployed, for "the old, and sick
and disabled. '

Let us look tenderly on such as “want
nothing but work ;” and encourage as far as
in our power the spirit of noble independence
which chooses _to tell and even suffer rather
than to beg.” ' ' ;

 

 

o
The Duration Of Life.

In ancient Rome, during the period be-
tween 200 and 300 A. D. . the average duration

years. In the present c'entury, among the
same class of people amounts to fifty years.
In the sixteenth century the mean duration of
life in Geneva was 21.21 years, between 1833
and 1841 it was 40.68 yeare, and at the pres-
ent time as many people live to seventy years
of age as three hundred years ago lived to the
age of forty-three. In the year 1693 the Brit-
ish government borrowed money, the amount
borrowed to be paid in annuities, on the basis
of the mean duration of life at that time.
The State Treasury made thereby a good bar-

ain, and all parties to the bargain were satis-

ed. N inety-seven years later Pitt estafissh-
ed another tontine or annuity company, ed
on the presumption that the mortality would
remain the same as before. But in this in-
stance it transpired that the Government had
made a bad bargain, since while in the first
tontine 10,000 persons of each sex died under
the age of 28, a hundred years later only
5,772 males and 0,317 females died under this
age. From this fact it appears that life,
under certain favorable influences, has gained
in many, and probably, in all its forms and

 

Lmanifestation, both in vigor and duration.

Who was Cain’s Wife ?

The Rev. C. P. McCarty, who preaches
every Sunday in the University Building,
Washington Square, New York, as pastor of
what is called the American Free Church
endeavored to answer the question of “who
was Cain’s wife?” Sunday evening, Novem-
ber 26. He took his text from the fourth
chapter of Genesis, and the seventeenth
verse. The preacher said that he had se-
lected the peculiar subject announced at the
request Of several members of his congrega-
tion. Maintaining that the Old theories as to
the meaning of the Bible stories had ceased
to be tenable because of the increased light
of science, he said that the theory held by
many as to Cain’s wife would also have to be
abandoned. “The orthodox answer to the
question,” said he, “is ‘perhaps Cain mar-
ried his sister.’ Well, I don’t think he «lid.
Now, I am not going to shirk the answering
of this question. I have a theory of our race
which others do not believe in. Nine out of ten
believe that the human race came from a pair.
I don’t believe it. Do you say that is hereti-
cal? Perhaps it is, but this is not a question
to be answered by those who cling to the old
theories. That old theory can never answer
it. In the first place, Cain could not have
married his sister when he departed to the
land of Nod, because he had no sister. When
Seth was born Adam was only one hundred
and thirty years old, a very young man for
those days, and Seth was his third child.
There is no mention of daughters. ‘In the
second place, Cain departed to a country
where there were people, and he fearedlthese
people would slay him because of his crime,
and the Lord recognized the reality of this
danger and set a mark on him that he might
be saved. The Bible nowhere staies that
there were only two people originally creat
ed. Adam wasIthefgeneric name for human
race, and male and female created be them.
Do you believe that negroes and Chinese are
the descendants of the same progenitors with
ourselves? I don’t. Cain went over to the
land of-Nod, and there became the chief Of a
race which he found there. He built a city.
He couldn’t have done this alone. This,
then, must be my answer to the question :
there were races of people upon the earth at
the time Cain was driven out a vagabond,
and from this race Cain took his wife.”

The preacher dwelt at considerable length
on the lessons to be drawn from the life of
Cain, and exhorted all to avoid the little sins
for even Cain did not become a. murderer all
at once, but was led up to that great crime
by envy and jealous feelings.

Breathlng' Mia-ma Wlthput Injury.

There is no exaggeration in the statement that
thousands or persons reeling from one year‘s end
to another, in fever and ague regions on this con-
tinent and elsewhere, breathe airmorc or less lm-
pregnated with miasma, without incurring the
disease, simply and only because they are in the
habit of using Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters as a
preventive. It has frequently happened, and the
fact has been amply attested by the parties clicm~
selves, that persons surrounded on all sides by
neighbors suffering the tortures of this shivering
and burning plague, have enjoyed abs'olutc im-
munity from it thanks to the protection afforded
by the Bitters. Nor is that standard anti-febrile
cordial less ellieacious in remedying than in pre-
venting chills s and fever, bilious, remittents, and
disorders of a kindred type. Taken between the
paroxysms. it speedily mitigates their violence,
and eventually prevents their recurrence. These
facts convrncingly established by evidence,appeal
with peculiar force to travelers and sojourncrs in
malarious districts. . .

. Integrity of Character.

Young men should be deeply impressed
with the vast importance of cherishing those
principles, and of . cultivating those habits
which will secure the confidence and the es-
teem of the wise and good.

A young man may be unfortunate, he may
be poor and penniless, but if he posseses un-
bending integrity, and unwavering purpose
to do what is honest and just, he will have
friends and patrons whatever may be the em-
barrassments and exigencies into which he is
thrown. The young man may thus possess a
capital of which noneof the misfortunes and
calamities ,of life can deprive him. We have
known men Who have suddenly'been-reduced
from affluence to penury by some oVerwhelm-
ing misfortune, which they could neither fore~
see nor prevent. Yesterday they were pros-
perous, 10-day every earthly prospect is
blighted, and everything in their future as-
pect of life is dark and dismal. Their busi-
ness-is gone, and they feel that all is gone,
but they have a rich treasure that nothing
can take away. They have integrity of char-
acter; and this gives them influence, raises
up friends, furnishes jthem with pecuniary
aid, with which to. commence life under more
auspicious Circumstances. '
