WINNIPAUK.
Notwithstanding the extremely hard times
which affects everything and everybody in
our village, the Old Oaken Bucket Lodgefl
still survives, and is able still to hold its
membership. Those croa ' rs who fondly
Slipposed that the local pression would
“knock the bottom out of the Bucket” will
have to wait a little longer to see their fond
hopes realized. The officers elected for the
ensuing quarter were installed last Wednes-
day evening, by Deputy London. The W.
C. T. of last quarter, James Hanford, were
re-elccted. A good selection, as Mr. Hanford
is a faithful and efficient worker in the Tom-
perance cause, a good man and true.
The Rev. Mr. Lathbury, has held and will
continue to hold Sabbath evening services in
the school house, much to the gratification of
the good people here. IIis duties are divided
between this place and the churches at ‘Kcnt
and Hurlbutt Street. Mr. L. is a young man,
and a graduate of Fort Edward Institute and
Oberlin College.
The Society of Amateur Gardeners, has had
another accession to its rank. Peculiarity
and ingenuity in planting are the requisite
qualifications for membership in this society
as you will see. It was first organized by our
ex-P. M., and grocer, now a commercial trav-
eler, who planted his potatoes upon the ridge
instead of in the furrow made for them.
Then the next member admitted was the
Mick who planted his tatcrs with a crowbar
and his pumpkin seed in drills, in a bed, then
the fat man at Hubbell’s Corner, who kindly
and assiduously nursed Burdock plants all
summer supposing them to be Rhubarb, but
they have been all outstripped by Pendleton,
who in bedding out onions planted them
sprouts downward, and then wondered they
did not grow as Ed’s did—ournextPresident.
In spite of the lateness of thelhour in which
the Barnum Circus trainswent up the Dan-
bury road Sunday evening, large crowds of
people turned out to see them go by.

Thirty'ycars ago when one exclaimed—
" The first Monday in. May
Is trainin’ day '
And nothing can be grander, etc.”

The house at Poplar Plains near the resi-

pied by Mrs. Maria Gregory, widow of the
late Harvy Gregory, took fire and was totally
destroyed, Saturday. The fire was communi-
cated to the building by dry leaves burning
in the adjoining fields. Mrs. G. was in the
house kneading bread at the time and after
the alarm was given had barely time to make
her escape. 'She is nearly 80 years of age
and the loss to her is great.
The greatest surprise manifested itself Sat-
day, by the announcement that our worthy
Postmaster, Capt. II. P. Burr, was under ar-
rest for alleged violation of certain provisions
of the U. S. Postal laws. This surprise was
the more complete when the acceptable man-
ner in which the office has been conducted
during eight years, and Capt. Burr’s strict
integrity and high standing among village
business men and in society was considered.
The circumstances of the case are nearly as
follows :—A Post Office detective—the same
one who recently tried, but failed, to entrap
the postmasters in Boston and Weston, ent-er-
ed the post office here Tuesday. He present-
ed one of those liyprocrite smiles which look
so pretty in the face, but which mean that a
stab in the back will follow. He had a lot
of circulars which he wished distributed, and
wantedth‘e price the Capt. would do it for.
He was told each circular must have affixed
to it a one cent stamp. The detective said
times were hard, money scarce, business dull,
etc., and he wanted to know if the Capt.
could make some sort of reduction. Th:
latter peremptorily refused, but the fellow
hung around and kept orLurging the case so,
long that the P. M. to rid himself of a bore,
dgrecd to dispose of two hundred circulars
for one dollar. He then wanted to buy 200
three cent stamps; the actual price of which
is $6.00, for $5.00, urging that the P. M’s
commission of 40 per cent. on sales, would
warrant his so doing. The P..M. had never
sold a stamp for-less than its face value, but
he finally handed out the stamps and took the
$5.00. He then left, remarking that he
would soon return. Instead of doing so,
however, he kept well out of the way, and
Friday sent a Deputy U. S. Marshan from
New Haven, who arrested the Capt. on a
charge of sending third-class matter through
the mails at lower than established rates. He
was taken to Bridgeport, where, before U. S.
Commissioner, M. W. Seymour, he pleaded
guilty to the charge, and was released, after
giving bail in the sum of $1,000 for his ap-
pearance at trial in Hartford at the next ses-
sion of court. So soon as the facts were
known, how the victim was drawn into a
snare, our village people felt at they had
been outraged, and if the ilfim, had ap-
peared then, hawould no don t have been
mobbed. An informal meeting of influential
men was held, when sentiments like the fol-
lowing were expressed, “notwithstanding
derogatory announcements to the contrary,
wherever Capt..H.'P. Burr is known, he has
the fullest confidence of all, and if the charge
of dishonesty where none was intended, can
under the circumstances he sustained, even
by a U. S. Court, then farewell to any hope
of the great Alexander Pope’s expressed truth
being verified,” that “An honest man is the
noblest work of God."
Every carpenter in town has now constant
employment, and there are indications of
more improvements here than for many years
past. One of the sure signs of this is the fact
that the old establishment which deals in
building materials here, received over 300,-
' 000 feet of lumber the past week, which, to-
gether with the cargo of schooner Harbinger
from Maine, makes nearly half a million feet
thus testing the capacity Of the firm’s 700
feet of dock room. From the constant stream
of teams arriving and leaving the dock with
lumber, fertilizers 850., there can' be no mis-
take about there bcing an unusual activity in
permanent improvements here and in ,'this vi-
cinity. PAUL.
IVESTON.
Beautiful May has thrown her genial influ-
ence over our town. Farmers and plowmen
are busy preparing the soil and they antici-
pate a bountiful harvest. May their hopes
be realized. - Now is it possible that the influ-
ence or rather the effects of the European war
can be felt even has in our town. Flour and
hay are in high demand and are bought by
speculators at good prices. -
A few Sabbath: ago the H. B. Smith ex-
changed with Rev E. Lubkert and preached
two excellent sermons in the Congregational
church. -
The Monday evening prayer meetings at
different houses continue to grow in interest.
Last Monday they had a most interesting one
at.tlic residence of Mrs. Bedient on the Plains
which was not only well attefided but also of
unusual interest, especially as regards the
temperance cause. Speaking of temperance,
let me say, that a delegation from Neversink
Lodge went to your town on Monday and to
Saugatuck on Thursday. They expressed
themselves with their visit. ’
Last week the following officers of Never-
sink Lodge, I. O. G. '1‘. were duly installedby
P. W. O. ’f‘., Wm. Bedicnt, under the author-
ity of L. D., H. Wyman: W. C. T., DeWitt
Bradley} W. V. T., Mrs M; Lubkert; W. S. ,
and Assistant 8., F. E. Sturges and Mrs. Alice
Sturgcs, W. F. 8., Warren Bradley; W. T.,
H. Wyman; W. Chaplain, Rev. E. Lubkert ;‘
W. I. G., Miss Libby Coly; W. S., Philander
Fairchild; W. R. and L. Supportof's are Miss
Emma Sherwood and Mrs. R. Gray. The
Lodge is in a very flourishing condition and
shows a surplus in the treasury of nearly $30
after the payment of all expenses.
Rev. Mr. Stevens, of Easton, delivered a
very effective discourse last Friday evening
at the house of Mr. D. L. Coley. The Dea-
con very generously had put that old and
honored homestead at the disposal of those
interested in the cause of temperance.
We are pestered here with burglars. Sev-
eral houses have been entered. Last Thurs-
day night they entered the residence of Mr.
B. Dykeman and took thence a 'quantity of
silver plated ware. Even the Congregational
church did not escape the ruthless hand of .
the invading tramp. For 'One night at least,
it was used as a dormitory, and, if report be
“‘30. after taking the matches feloniously
from the school house—they must have had
alpretty good time of it. It reminds us of a
California Vigilance Committee. Why not
here 7 -
The school of Mr. Jarvis’s, though now
drawing to a close, is in a very prosperous
condition. What wonder! With such a
man as Prof. C. A. Cole attending to the de-
partment he presides over, and Mrs. Cole,
and Miss L. A. Jarvis, attending to the inu-
sical needs of the pupils, all teachers more
than faithful in their duties, what wonder
that this Military Institute should flourish as
it does. There is one thing certain; Weston
will make a mark in the history of Connecti-
cut.
Gen. Jarvis is preparing for his summer
Hotel. Many boarders are coming and it
will be quite a pleasant thing to see those
strangers from abroad admiring our bdauti-
ful scenery;
Mr. E. Scribner’s wagon house is quite an
addition to that part of our town. '
We learn that M. Sylvester Lockwood has
retired from the business as mail carrier and
though we are very sorry to lose such an ac-
commodating and gentleinanly public officer
yet we are glad that his own choice in select-
ing his successor during the unexpired term
has fallen upon Mr. Charles Gregory, for
whom we bespeak the good wishes and fa-
vors of the community. Tox Was.

A Wonder-Working Remedy.
No remedial agent has ever been offered to the
sick and debilitated at all comparable to Hostct~
tcr’s Stomach Bitters, in capes of rcmitteut and
intermittent fevers, constipation, nervous ail-
ments, rheumatism, and disorders involving con-
stitutional weakness or physical decay. It liter-
ally “works wonders.” The botanical ingredients
which its spiritous basis holds in solution, act like
a charm upon the stomach, and thrdugh the atom-
ach upon the brain,liver, bowels, and nervous
system. There is nothing in'its compOSItiou that
is not salubrious. It contains some of the most
potent tonics of the vegetable kingdom and the
jucies of the best aperient and anti-bilious roots
and herds, combined with a perfectly pure stimu-
faring,r element. The Bitters are peculiarly adapt-
ed to those engaged in exhausting or unhealthy
occupations, as by Its use strength 15 sustained
and the ability of t ie system to resmt atmospheric
and other influences prejudicial to health largely
increases. , ltls

The talk about reviving the old Whig party
which has been recently set going, recalls an
anecdote of the late John Van Buren. 0n
ohe occasion, during the Presidential term of
Mr. Buchanan, Vice-President Breckinridge
was breakfasting with the Prince and the
late Col. Peter A. Porter of Niagara Falls,
when the conversation ran upon politics and
parties. Besides the three gentlemen named
there was but one other person present at the
thblc—the landlady, a young widow, who was
lively, chatty, and agreeable, and not dispos-
ed to be merely a listener at the entertainment.
After some little “chafiing” the lady said.
“ Well, I’ve no sympathy with either of the
'two parties. I'm an Old Line Whig.” Prince
John immediately laid down his knife and
fork and in the mat serious manner said r.
Vice-President, you are now enjoying o of
the greatest opportunities of your life ; one
which will probably never again occur. I
WISII you would take a good look at this lady
the male of this specie is extinct.

An Individual who sold clams on the Lord’s
