RIDGEFIELD.
A small audience professed to be highly
pleased with the amateur play, last Tuesday.
The financial result was about thirteen
dollars,~—a small amount compared with that
desired. The playing of the Band was ex-
cellent, and addeda pleasant feature to the
occasion. ' '
The commemoration Ball was a success in
everything except numbers. The Hall was
tastefully decorated with flags ; the company .
Was a pleasant one ; the supper furnished by
Geo. Gregory was good and well served ;
the music by Ives band was excellent. The
' Mutual Cornet Band, although losing money,
has reason to be proud of its attempt to com-
memorate the day..
The last week’s Press was wholly made up
here, and presented a very creditable ap-
pearance. .
Mr. David Hoyt has set out a very fine
row of trees on West street, reaching from
the corner store to Stephen Olmstead’s corn-
er. The finest piece of work done yet.
Mr. Bishop speaks of selling three fowls—
Plymouth Rocks—for $50 as if it were an
every day occurrence, and of his $650 cow
as a matter hardly worth mentioning. ‘
The new coat of white paint on A. N.
Thomas’ house is a change for the better.

E. R. Jackson, Esq , since making exten-
sive additions I‘ld improvements, enjoys the

on Wright Street.
For more than 40 years, Mr. Gershom Per-
ry has argued with much tact and force that,
“what is to be, will be.” As if to demon-
strate his faith in that doctrine by works, he
last week united himself in matrimony to
Mrs. Hannah Newell, an estimable lady of
New Canaan. Rev. Z. Davenport of Sauga-
tuck tied the nuptial knot.
Active work by the East Side Hog Hay-

Surveyor Morehouse is rather pleased than
otherwise at the GAzrr'r’s allusion to his
expected action by plow and scrape on King
street, and there are those, now that the sub-
ject is mentioned, who would respectfully
ask “will it not be better to seek among the
more traveled highways for the exhibition of
skill in tearing up—places where benefit will
occur to the greatest number, and permit
King street, which is in fair condition, to re-
main untouched.
The story about scarcity of houses in town
was a little premature. There can be count-
ed here eleven good dwellings unoccupied by
tenants, for the reason that owners demand
too much rent. If these owners could be
made to see that “half a leaf is better than no
bread,” there would be less growling about
hard times. ,
A fire, Friday evening among the leaves of
the forest of Compo, below Ball mountain,
burned so fiercely and continued so long,
that many in the village began to fear as to
results. The fire was extinguished. .
' Mr. J .’ N. Bett‘s wagon collided with W.

The Steamer Ymng America is to be

condition for her cross Sound trips. It is sur-
prising how many people of our village have
lately discovered that they had relations on

a. trip across to Norwalk to see them and make
our new ferry a complete success.

The elegant property in Greenwich occu-
pied by his family, Tweed will not surrender.
He claims that it was purchased for his wife
before there were any municipal complica-
tions or municipal troubles. Still it is known
that thousands and tens of thousands of dol-
lars were expended upon it while Mr. Tweed
was using the funds of the city. The drives
are as extensive as numerous, and as elegant
as those of Central park. City lamps stud
the lawns, fountains play and‘statuary adorn
the green-sword. All this, it is contended,
was done with city money. The whole
family reside in this elegant mansion. A
splendid coupe, or a dashing park carriage
comes down at night to the depot to receive
his son, General Tweed, and his brother-in-
law on their return from business. Every.
body in town has to take their dust. On
Sunday the family attend the Congregational
church. Last Sunday \‘Villiarn Tweed and
his wife; his sister and her husband and the
Tweed girls occupied the same pew during
divine service.—“B/urlei'{/h‘s" Letter to the

were opened Thursday. The entire amount

at an average rate of 103.24. That is $1,032-

the state nets a profit of $32,400 ; it also
saves $10,000 a year annually in interest.
Estimating interest at five per cent., this
saving amounts to a reduction in the debt, of
$200,000. Take this and the premium on the
new bonds together, and Connecticut made
