Onions are receiving more attention from
our farmers than usual, greatly to the regret
of those boys who will be obliged to weed
them.

The annual meeting of the Mission Band
will be held Friday evening in the lecture
room. It is hoped that there will be a large
attendance both of members and tall others
interested in the cause of missions.
, If those skillful individuals who have
spent so much time and money sceliling after
perpetual motions Would-attend. a Wilton
town meeting they would find their desid—
erata.
Cannon’s Station is somewhat excited over
the remarks of a sarcastic correspondent.
Mr. Geo Betts has completed the collar for
his new house. .
The adjourned town meeting was held on
the 9th and was well attended, Lockwood
K.Ferris, Esq., occupying the chair. The
minutes of the last meeting were need and
approved. The subject of tax-collect tors, and
unsettled books was called up and c'clnsidcra-
his discussion followed. The allusion to
“Uncle Lewis” favorite old ox created con-
siderable merrimcnt. It was finally decided,
however, to abide by the vote paslled last
fall, and tax-collectors will be obliged to
therewith comply. A motion was made
and carried that the collector of the list of
1871, read the names of the delinquents on
his books, which, howover, he refusefd to do
in a pointed manner. The motion was then
rescinded and the load laidon the’ seliectmen
who acquiesced. A vote was passed to ‘pay
road makers $2 per diem, which is $1.75
more per day, than some of them are worth.
A. M. Read, Esq., offered the following
resolution which was passed unanimously :—
. Resolved, that we tender a vote of thanks
to our selectmen for their untiring efforts to
save our town from the needless expense of
building the new road at Belden’s Hill, and
that they use all honorable means to defeat
any such unnecessary expenditure of the
peoples’ money hereafter.
This indicates considerable change in
popular opinion ; a few years since the
selectmen were instructed to lay out. the
Belden’s Hill road, and now the present
Bohrd is lauded for efforts in trying to defeat"
this measure. One fact ascertained from a
short report of the selectmen, was that the.
town has entertained during the year ending
April lst, 447 tramps at an expense of
$221.50. This shows that tramps appreci-
ate Wilton and the accommodations provid-
ed for their comfort. How the tax-payer
will appreciate the expense incurred re-
mains to be seen. Among the remedies
suggested was a tread-mill, and also a 'wood-
on amphitheater wherein the tramps should
be forced to run wheelbarrow races for the-
amusement of Wilton sports. Messrs. Brown
and Chichester will please accept thanks for
favors. . WILL TON.

On Wednesday afternoon last, while Syl-
vanus Seeley was engaged in trimming :apple
trees, he fell from a ladder on which he was
standing to the ground, and was injured so
that he could not move. Assistance soon ar-
rived and he was carried into the house, and
several doctors were called in. The .spiral
column was found dislocated, and he suffer-
ed from internal injuries which caused his
death on Thursday morning. His funeral
was attended last Saturday, Harmony Lodge

From Harper’s .Magazine for May we
quote the following in referenbe to our re-
spected townsman, D.. L. Adams, M. D.
“The border line is not well defined, but I'
knew Iwas in Connecticut, and that after
riding half a dozen miles further I should
come to the village of Ridgefield, the home
of my old friend and schOol-mate, Dan.
' ' Adams, where a hearty welcome awaited
me. ' -
Dan is a retired physician—not that cele-
brated advertiser ‘whose sands of life have
nearly run out.’ I hope there is much sand
still left in the hour glass of my friend. He
is one of those wise men (of whom there are
few) who know that the grass-hopper is like-
' ly soon to become a burden, and so contrive
to make his weight light by husbanding
their strength. How few among men know
when to leave 01f business,and how few there
are of these who can leave it off and be hap-
py! He is one of this small number to be
envied. Eight years ago he relinquished his
practice in the city, and retirring to this
healthy spot, here, with his charming cl
family around him, his comfortable house, .
his elegant library, his pair of fine horses,his
robust health, he is happy as man can 'wish
to be.
We were at school together at Amherst in
the year 1829, andevcry five years we meet
again on the old play ground, for the school
is still maintained. There the present gen-
eration of boys look with wonder on the old
grey-beards who fall into ranks—thinner
ranks, alas, at every meeting; and when they
see us after roll-call at our regular game of
foot-ball, their astonishment know no
bounds. And I will tell you wlla boy
c'ould best kick the foot-ball, could best
wrestle, run fastcst, was the most athletic
gymnast, was the most jovial boy, .though
perhaps the bigest student of us all—Henry
Ward Beecher. ‘John, I never ~ied any-
dey but you,’ he said to me not long ago,
and that only once. It was when you threw
the spit-ball at Old Colton, and hit him square.
on the top of his bald head. I always missed
him ? > .
We had what Christopher North called an
ambrosial night, closing with a sound sleep,

Mrs. Stewart of Greens’ Farms has had an
experience with servants. ~ She took a girl
'from some New York Intelligence office. In
the bargain it was stipulated that the‘girl
should stay one week on_ trial, and if her work
was satisfactory, to remain pcrmanently. The
girl didn’t suit and was so informed by Mrs.
S. Later, Mrs. S. was taken aback by the
girl’s demanding pay for a whole month. The
demand was refused and pay for one week
was tendered: The girl hadn’t the conscience
to accept that, and consulted a Westport law-
yer with view to compelling Mrs. S. to pay
the whole. The lawyer in' a polite note in-
formed Mrs. S. (3f “the small claim in his
hands for Collection,” urging, in the usual
form of words, her immediate attention to
the matter. This missivc resulted in causing
the girls’ summary expulsion from the prem-
ises without pay of any kind. The irate rep-
resentative of the Emerald Isle now “got her
dander up,” and in order to get even with
Mrs. S. took scissors and ripped up several
articles of clothing, and to make domestic
ruin more complete poured a coal hod of hct
Cinders upon a whole washing of clean ironed
under garments, and In addition gave expres-
sion to a kind of language not taught in Slin-
day Schools. The last seen of the girl, she
was without a dime, trying to beg money
enough to pay her fare back to New York.
The tramp nuisance never was more per-
pIexing than now. It is no uncommon thing
for some kind housewife ,to’be asked by strag-
gling louts, “Will yez be kind enufi to giv a
poor feller' suthing to eat,” a dozen times ina
single day, and some families who live from
hand to mouth, yet are charitably disposed,
have been put to their wits ends to feed'them-
selves and answer the calls made on them
from outside. Many of these tramps are bet-
ter dressed than they, of whom they ask‘alms,
and it is known they take all they can get
but eat only that which suits them and throw
the rest away: Impudence enters largely into
their manners, and gratitude for favors is the
exception rather than the rule. There was'a
time when one could palm off five out of six
of them upon the head selectman, but that
long since ceased. Encouraged by kind treat-
ment they impart the glad tidings to others
and the result is that, as spring opens tramps
fairly swarm, and like the grasshoppers of
the West are likely to eat up every green and
living thing. Happily, at this juncture, an
ingenious western man’s disclosures as to
what he knows ,about tramps, and hisosug-
gestive remedy, for the evil, may be oppor-
tunely quoted. Local and State papers please
copy. He says, “In the . language of the
tramps, the letter H on the front gate post
means that the residents will give the caller a
hand full of grub! “S.” that he will get a
seat at the-table, “S M” that he will get a
“square meal,” and “G B.” that he will get
the “grand bounce.” Now that the secret is
out, let every house owner hie himself to his
gate post and dig in letters deep and that can-
not be misunderstood the mystic sign “G B,”
Here, at last, is the complete solution of the
tramp problem, acting upon this advice sev-
eral Golden Hill people have placed the let-
ters “G B,” on their gate posts, and a percep-
tiblediminution in tramp visits has been the
result. Cost of painting the letters is little or
nothing, but the saving of food, not to men-
tion temper, is immense.
Mr. Giles Potter, agent of the Connecticut
State Board of Education, visited the district
schools of the town last week. He was ac-
companied part of the time by Mr. Dutton of
the Union School South Norwalk. 'Mr. 'Pot-

per, and forcing a'large piece of flesh from
Mr. B’s leg. The wound is very serious and
though Dr. Lockwoodjs skill alleviates it,
may give the injured man trouble. The hog
also bit a horse belonging to Mr, B‘s son.

The large ball of the W. M. I. was dense-
ly packed last Wednesday. evening, the oc-
casion being an entertainment given by the
Welcome Division S. of T. It consisted of
charadcs, deelamations, tableaux, solos,
duetts and tries on the piano. _ The whole
was under the direction of P. W. P. Wm.

J. Miles, Miss Louise A. Jarvis, Miss Nettie
Plant, Miss Ida Lee, Mr. Charles Lcc, Mr.
H. Chapman, Mr. Roman and Master A.

was performed with that skill for which the
performer (Mrs. C. A. Cole) is so well
know, The duett, (Overture Poet and

played with much effect. There was a solo
also by Miss R. Jarvis and a sweet little song
by Miss Hattie Jarvis as well as several
quartetts by Misses Lee, Hull, and Mrs. A.
S. Jarvis, Lee, Nalencie. Time and space
forbid to enter into the details ; suflicient to
say, that the whole affair was a most credi-
table Onc and will be long remembered as a
splendid episode in the history of the Divis-

DR. WM. M. LAISD, a. leading Druggist ot Clare-
mont, certifies as follows:
For many years I have known Dr. A. J. Flagg
as a successful practicing physician, and can as-
sure the public that his representations relative
to the Cough and Lung Syrup can be strictly re-
lied upon. It has been used in his extended prac-
tice with marvellous success, and I know it to be
all that he claims for it.
WM. M. LADD, M. D.
CLAREMONT, N. 11.. September, 1875. ‘
DR. FLAGG—My Dear Sir:— hour Cough and
Lung Syrup has proved a great benefit to me,
giving relief from severe Coughs and Soreness of
the Lungs, when all other remedies and physl
cians had failed. I have never taken a medicine
morepleasant to the tasteor more satisfactory in-
its results. MRS. LYDIA WILLEY.
