Bartram his first lieutenant, and J. 0. Ban-
dle the Winnipauk P.’M., went down to Calf
Pasta hing for fiounders, one day last
week. ey returned at early dusk vowing
they had caught four~ hundred fiat fish. Well,
some Editors‘always will tell big fish stories,
and judging from the glowing tints on Bar-
tram’s ‘and Rand‘ noses,we don’t doubt but
the pile did look to them like four hundred.
As there seems to be difficulty in' complet-
ing a1 rangements for the Philharmonic Con-
cert, we would suggest to 'the . managers of
the Winter Evening Course the propriety of
securing Monte Bailey,of the Danbury News,
todeliver his “England from a Back Win-
dow" lecture instead. -. The lecture ii highly
commerIdedby'thepréss, and we feel sure
that our people would gladly accept the
change. Probably more people would turn
out to see andhear the genial humorist than
could hedrawn together by any other lecturer
of the day: 'If that Lecture Bureau nuisance
can be avoided and Mr. Bailey dealt with
directly, we feel sure the lecture could be
given to advantage.
Readers of W. D. Howells’ delightful story
“Chance Acquaintance,” will be interested
to learn that the charming, “Kitty”-'—-Miss
Annie T. Howells, is soon ‘to be led to the
matrimonial altar. The happy man is M.
Achillc fiechette, a Frenchflanadian lawyer
connected with the government at Ottawa.
The Howells family, by the way, is remarka-
ble for literary taste and culture. W. C.
Howells, the father, who is the present genial
American consul at Quebec, is an old Ohio
editor and still contributes weekly to his pa.
per, which is under the editorial charge of
his son during his residence abroad; W. D.
Howells, the eldest son, we believe, is the
brilliant author and editor or the Atlantic
Monthly; the “three graces” of the family
are all very ready with the pen, Miss Annie
recently publishing a serial story in the Gal-
axy; and now, it is stated, Miss Winnie, the
fourteen year-Old daughter of the Atlantic
editor is soon to publish a sonnet.
z
Time for a. Change.
During the long continuation of “hard-
times" almost everything in this country has
gone down, down in price, in many cases,
even below what has been considered “hard
pan,”——Provisions, Groceries, Dry Goods,I
Clothes, Labor, Meats, &c., &c. The only
apparent exceptions have been with the
Banks, Railroads and House Servants; these
have all kept up to war-rates and even in
the cases of servants, far above war times.
Our last Legislature stepped in, in the inter
est of the borrowers, and reduced the Savings
Bank rates, at the expense, the Banks claim,
of the depositors; but the Railroads and ser-
vants still plunder the public at will. When
the N. Y. & N. H. Railroad was built, the
fare from Norwalk to New York‘ was only ’75
cts., and although the travel then was very
small compared to the present time, the road
was a success and declared dividends. , But
then can'le the Schuyler frauds and the Nor-
walk disaster, and the road, promptly taking
advantage of it put up the priceand has kept
‘ _ putting it up since, with one exception. The
Norwalk trav ' g public has probably paid,-
in increased fa s, the cost 'to road, ten~ tiiiies
over of the expense caused by the disaster
here. One season the road was run in opposi-
tion to the boats for 60 cts.,from here to New
York and probably made money, now the
fare is $1.15 and continues at that, notwith-
standing which the road has been reducing
expenses in every conceivable way, on the
plea of hard times by cutting down wages,
salaries, &c., all to the benefit of its rich
stockholders, but as yet of no apparent bene-
fit to the general travelingpublic. Is it not
about time that they recognized the fact that
fares ought to be cut down, nearer to what
they were years ago, and in keeping with the
general reduction in other commodities. «
The servant-girl question is a still greater
evil. Before the war, good girls could be had
for from six to ten dollars per month, co'mpe;
tent and willing to do anything. required in a
family, large or small, and worked industri-
ously, early and late. Now, they must have
from ten to sziztcen dollars per month; have
afternoons, evenings, and all sorts of privile-
ges once unheard of; and if there are more
than three or four in a family then there must
be an extra girl. Theydo not seem to think
thatfthe fact of everything they purchase now
being aslow or-eveu lower than before .the 'war
ought to make'any difference in their wages,
and are therefore very stubborn and deter-
mined both as to getting the highest price
ever paid for servants and of doing the least
possible work for the pay they‘ receive. Is it
not about time for achange all along the line?

_ Beatty Street.
The very decided change for the better,
within afew years past, of many of the streets
of the Borough has been the subject of com.
meiidation. . ‘ . .
Beatty street is, probably, the most noted'
instance of rapid improvement, and we very
much doubt if a'iiy thoroughfare Within the
limits of the town will show any comparison
with the marked change that has been made
in this street.
For the present fiuc appearance of. Beatty '
prise of Ex-Burgesis G. P. Adams, whose fine
residence is located midway on this street.
His perseverance in overcoming inseperable
obstacles and opposition to the grading, wi-
dening, curbing, and otherwise improving
this street, is fresh in thememory of all who
have served the Borough in ofiicial capacities
ddriu‘g the past three or four years. For this
street, when first opened to the public, pre-
' seated at West Avenue, a rock bed cropping
out in continuous ledges, while further on to-
‘wards Water street, a steep declivity, which,
for a long time, proved to be very Serious ob-
stacles to the growth of the street. '
It was not, therefore, until many plans had
failed, that Mr. Adams set himself to 'bring
about the needed improvements, and the
records Of the Borough will show that, with
an appropriation of only one hundred and sev-
enty five dollars by the Burgesses,‘ sub-
scriptions of over three hundred d , _ from
private sources, this troublesome ledge, which
made the passage of the street with vehicles
most uncomfortable, if notreally dangerous,
Was excavated and the unsightly declivity
filled; so that, at the present time, a drive
through this street is both comfortably and
safely accomplished,
' These very decided and marked improve-
ments have had their legitimate effects, and
now it may be said that upon no other street
of its length has an equal number of houses
been erected within the last three years.
We notice the cosy cottage just erected by
Fix-Burgess Turney; and understand that of
the dozen or more lots remaining unsold, Mr.
Adams, who now owns the property, is al-
ready treating for the sale of several lots, and
we judge that the time is not far distant, when
he will have disposed of the entire property
to those seeking localities for houses, within
easy access Of business, churches, and schools.
RIDGEFIELD.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
There have been various intimations in our
quiet village of something to be expected out
.of the usual sort. Rumors took various
shapes; among the most refreshing of which
was that Dr. Adams had changed his Wednes-
day night musicals into regular rehearsals,and
was going to bring out ail entertainment in
Opera Bouffe, Anticedentally that was a
good rumor, and, with those acquainted with
the Doctor‘s mental constitution, an idea
most natural—to provoke a smile. But all
speculations were set at rest by the announce-
malt of an entertainment, of the nature of
comedy, by members of the village Improve-
ment Society. In fact, some of our member-
ships with a combination of enthusiasm and
patience quite notable,considering bad weath-
er and other discouragements, brought out
the .play of “Kind to :1 Fault,” last Tuesday
evening.
The management made a judicious selec-
tion in the distribution of charhcters and the
“cast" was a strong one. Ordinarily with
pr essionals upon the boards, if you take out
the‘poor playing from the representation, not
much is left but the parts of the leading ac-
tors. One or two “stars” and all the rest
—“dips.” But we were presented with a gal-
axy of talent. Whatever the stellar magni-
tude, sattelites there were none. No one of
the parts was poorly rendered, and we
might go far enough to say that there was not
a passage of poor acting in the play. Even
the most difficult part for amateurs—the
stage “business,” was well woven in,
It is impossible to discriminate where all
equally acquitted themselves. And while
the expression of surprise has been made at
the abundance and quality of our home tal-
ent, it was no more 'of a surprise than the
high and intelligent appreciation with which
the rendition of the play was received. But
one sentiment was expressed, that it was too
good to be dropped with a single representa-
tion. The entire community should have the
May it be repeated at as early 0 date as possi-
ble. Good music was aptly supplied by the
Mutual Cornet Band. 'B.
WESTPORT.
While staid old Farmers are sowing their
spring oats, their young sons, some of them,
are busily engaged sowing wild ones.
Few of the present generation are aware
that “Shererow” school house, the very build.
ing now in use, once stood on the open lot
opposite the residence of Mr. E. H. Nash,
bilt the curious may visit that locality and
find the doorstep, upon which some of the
old folk now living, trod when they were
boys and girls, still fast in the earth as firmly
as when set by the fathers three quarters of a
century ago.
AmOng the many names suggested as prop-
er tO designate the new Cemetery, none strike
the car as more appropriate than “ WILLOW
BROOK," Fronting the property is a marshy
tract covered with scrags and brambles, now
and then a willow, and very often a huge
boulder. Through this passes a stream of
water. The men who have been plying stub
scythes and axes here declare that neVer since
the fall of Adam has a more tangled collec-
tion of brush and briars been encountered.
The willows will be spared and the soil be
subdued by plows. and seeded, and ere long
we shall see a fine iron fence 900 feet long
gracefully rising. The Street in front is to be
widened and graded, the tract itself is to be
laid out in walks and drives by a landscape
architect, and a house for the person in charge
will be erected. By and by, in reply to the
visiting straiigcr, who may ask, “What lovely
spot is that just above Mr. James Smibert’s,”
some citizen, proud of the native enterprise
which brought about such results, will say,
“That? that is Willow Brook Cemetery."

and proportionally the heaviest expenses.

NEW YORK, April 23, 1877
DEAR GAZETTE :—
Now, everybody knows why Oakey Hall
ran away to Europe. It was as I said, Tweed.
The Boss had made up his mind to split on
his associates. Hall got wind of it in time
and fiitted. Tweed’s expose is a curious and
instructive piece of reading. It shows that
the plundering of the city and state was not
the growth of time but that it was a plot,
made deliberately and very carefully worked
up as to detail, and one which required a
great deal of skill to carry out. There is
squirming among the democratic politicians
and explanations are in order. Men who have
heretofore stood well in the community are
quietly slipping away to Europe, and those
who stay are ‘fortifying themselves with proof
to make some sort of a show against the dam:
aging disclosures of the old man in Ludlow
Street. Several republicans are already im-
plicated, and it is expected that more will'be.
He 'had tools in the Republican camp of
course, for else he could not have got the leg-
islation at Albany necessary to carry out his
purposes. Twenty millions of dollars were
distributed, and the Boss,no more guilty than
the others, has had to bear the brunt of the
wllolc thing. His share of the plunder has
been spent in litigation, he has grown old
in dodging prosecutions and now is a wreck
financially and in reputation, while those who
were his associates in villainy are living com-
fortably and in good odor on their shares.
And what vexes the old man more than any-
thing elsc is that those who made the most of
it are the first to turn upon him. Between
his rage and his desire to get out he is mak-
ing wild work among the democratic politi-
cians. In anticipation of suits to recover,
scores are conveying their property to their
wives and brothers, and scores more are miss-
ing altogether. T he confession is a bomb-
shcll exploded in the very heart of the camp,
and the consternation is wide-spread.
BUSINESS TROUBLES.
New York has long been worried by the
discrimination of the railroads against it, and
now the European steamers are giving the
city a twist. Cargoes are brought cheaper
from Liverpool to Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore than to New York, and hence the
howl. The reason is plain enough. The
great line west from New York is the Cen-
tral and the Central is managed by a Vander-
bilt, and the most pig-headed of all the Van-
derbilts. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore
roads lay in with the steamships and agree to
carry to Toledo, Chicago, St. Louis and Cin-
cinuati for a less rate of freight than the Cen-
tral will, and consequently the freight goes
to those cities. In short the Baltimore and
Ohio and Pennsylvania roads have combined
with the steamship lines. and are taking‘the
the trade. The trouble with New York is it
has no terminal facilities; the city and its
railroads are managed as selfishly as possible,
and are not in the interest of the city at all.
They are run in the interest of Vanderbilt
and his adherents, and they depend upon the
fact that a certain amount “of freight anda
certain number of passengers have no other
way of getting into the city. The other
roads are managed on broader ideas, and the
other 'ties, better governed and depending
more finch their enterprise than natural facil-
ities, are taking the trade and New York is
suffering. Its trade is being pared off here
and sliced off there, till the diminution is
seriously felt and occasions alarm. But what
can be done? The city is in the hands of the
class of democracy who have no interest in
its'prosperity, and who know nothing about
it and care less, and so the merchants and
manufacturers suffer. ‘

The neatest, cleanest swindle that ever was
perpetrated, was done in this city last week.
Up in Twenty-third street is a house of assig-
nation frequented only by 1110 very bluest—
blooded of the aristocracy. If a married-
lady from Murray Hill goes beyond moral
limits, it is at this house she meets her lover,
and if a rich man has an unlawful love it is
at this house that he meets her. It iS'so
quiet and so safe that none of its frequentcrs
ever had the slightest fear of being disturbed,
by the police or any one else. Last Friday
night the house was full, when, to the horror
of the eminently respectable sinners the
police surrounded it, and all the occupants
were marched ‘Out of their rooms into the
grand parlors, where the sergeant of the
squad reviewed them. Of course every one
saw every other one, and quite a number of
surprises were the consequence. The parties
were all so respectable that the sergeant let
them off with a modicum of good advice,
and they departed considering themselves
lucky at escaping so easily.
Alas, for those highly respectable people!
They had little difficulty in recognizing each.
other, except three gentlemen who were
strangers to all the rest. The next day one
of the respectablcs was called upon by one of
the three unknovvn men. They recognized
each other and smiled a ghastly grin. “Rath-
er uglyfithin'g that, lasthight,”said unknown.
“incised it was,” replied the respectable.
“The idea of bringing us all together in the
parlor, where every one present might and
did see every other one,” said unknown. “It
was outrageous,” replied respectable, “but
eafi one will be compelled to keep it a secret
for his own sake!“ “Yes," replied the un-
known significantly, “unlch there might
have been one or two present who would as
soon be known asnot, having nothing to lose.
By the way, Mr. , I have a. note for
$5,000 to pay this afternoon, and I am short;

RUM.
possible for the excise commissionersZto grant
licenses to any except taVern keepers, and
the commissioners in New York and Brook-
lyn have resolved to adhere to the law, and to
prosecute all others selling. Already several
liquor dealers who do not according. to the
law, keep inns or taverns. The law Is that
licenses shall not be granted to any one who
does not keep three spare beds. With proper
bedding, for the accommodation of guests,
which of course none of the saloons or bars
pretend to. The law ofiicers will push it,
for they can get their costs and fees, and con-
sequently there will be trOuhle. The tem-
perance people see in this an opportunity for
a new crusade upon rum, and the dealers are
girding up their loins for a vigorous defence
of what they consider their rights. There
will be a vast amount of speech making, and
a vast number of arrests, but it will all
amount to nothing. Liquor-selling cannot be
restricted in a population-like that of New
York, where a large majority of the people
drink, and where rum is an element in poli-
Rum can elect whoever. it chooses, for that
interest is solid, while the opposition to it is
always divided. But there will be a lively
skrimmagc over it. ~
POLITICS.
President Hayes is gaining ground in this
city every day. Business men of all parties
are wheeling into line in his support. ‘Wliile
they are divided somewhat _ as to the wisdom
of his Southern policy they are willing to
give it a fair trip], and they all support heart-
ily his efforts to reform the civil service.
is the first President who ever paid the slight-
est attention to ante-election promises, or who
ever made a positive attempt to carry out
pledges. The custom house is being Ithor-
oughly cleaned out. The sinecures are being
abolished, the dead-heads are being turned
out to grass, and the force is being reduced
to the exact requirements .of the busmess to
be done. There is howling among the pro—
fessional politicians, but the_ content of the
citizens is delightful. Premdent Hayes 1.
