proud to show him our beautiful street.

P. L. Barhite has greatly improved the
sidewalk in front of his residence. .

Great pains are being taken with sidewalks
and lawns. But then all people are not con-
scious of the use of the walks and will per-
sist in walking on the grass, thus greatly
marring the beauty of the place.

Mr. Bishop has sold his pair of finely

The annual election in the Congregational
Sabbath School took place last Sunday. E. .
\V. Keeler was elected superintendent, and
John Holmes assistant. g

A large number went from this town to see
Bar-num's last and greatest show, and added
to what the News calls the “crowd of gaping
rustics.” Danbury can “put on airs,” but if
the rustics imbibed the soda water, their
money went into hands very glad to receive
it.

By request, the comedy “Kind to a Fault,”
will be repeated May 23d. The object is to
raise funds to completely furnish the new

Half a score of carpenters from Albany are
at work on Mr. Howard King’s house. A
very tasty job will be the result.

Mr. E. v. Hibbai't has sold out his fish
business in New Haven, and will give his at—

According to the lastest reports it can be
stated that Mrs. Phelaii will not leave town
this Spring.

 

 

WESTPORT.

There is no trouth iii the report that Mrs.
Maria Gregory was so badly burned at the
recent fire, that she is not likely to recover.

Mr. T. Hendricks,employed by Mr.Warncr
Ogden of Cross Highway, was attacked by
Henry Russell and Peter Hawkins, two ruf-
fains of Greenfield Hill, a few nights since.
Hawkins drew a knife and brandishing it
about, let it fall, completely cutting off one of
Hendricks cars. ‘ Hendricks tried to defend
himself but was stabbed nine times in the
body. Notwithstanding this he made it hot
for his adversaries who were forced to retreat.
He then set out for his employers, but after
walking some distance, fell to the ground
from loss of blood. He remained several
hours in a precarious condition, and would
have died in his gore but for the providential
arrival of Mr. William Lyons who took the
wounded man to his home, where, at last ac
counts he was too weak to be removed and
his life hung by a mere thread. The assas-l
sins fled and secreted themselves, and thus -
far the authorities have been unable to find
them. The reasons why they made this cow-
ardly attack on an innocent man, are not
stated.

was dedicated with ceremOnies Thursday
Evening last. '

The first step towards erecting a house for
Vigilant Engine will be taken this (Monday,)
afternoon. -

There are seven fine dwellings in town, at
this time tenantless, and likely to be. Among
them, is the house built some years ago by
sons of the late Uriaah Taylor, recently oc-
cupied by Mr. J. A. Flagg, the pill man, and
now owned by Mr. D. M. Marvin. From its
veranda are fine views of the river, Sound
and surrounding country. Lovely trees shade
the house, and birds, though no human ears
are near to listen, sing sweetly the songs which
are the charms of every country place. Those
who, by a life-long residence have learned to
love Westport, wonder how it is outsiders
cannot see the desirability of location as they
see it. Ere long it is hoped, good men will
occupy permanently this house and the six
others referred to. '

The Eureka Lodge, I. O. of G. T. of San-
gatuclgwill give their first annual Strawberry
festival in their new ball, on Thursday even-
ing. They expect a good time.

Sunday morning, Right Rev; Bishop Wil-
liams made his annual visit to Memorial
Church. ‘lle preached from the Gospel of
St. John, 12-32 ; “And I, if I be lifted up
from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”
During the course of which, the rationalistic
claim that Christ, by nature is not divine,was
forcibly and most effectually met. Seventeen
persons were confirmed and addressed by the
BishOp. Natural flowers graced the altar,
and the congregation was large. In the after-
noon the Bishop visited Christ Church, "con-
firmed 22 persons and addressed them. , The
Sermon preached from 1 Cor. 4, 2; “More-
over it is required in Stewards that a man be ,
found faithful,” was an able argument, show-
ing that belief, principle and duty in the
christian life are inseparable, and that emo-
tions, sentiments and feelings as indicative of
the power of conscience are superficial. Five
clergymen were at the altar which was be-
decked with flowers. There was good music

The all a sorbing topic here during the
week has been the Post Office trouble, the ,
points of which wereexplained last week in
this column. No previous local affairs ever
caused such unbounded excitement. _ Our peo-
ple without regard to party voluntarily came
forward to the number of more than 500 to
demonstrate their confidence in Capt. Burr
by signing petitions to P. M. General Key at
\Vashington to have him retained in office,
and to U. S. District Attorney Childs, of Stam-
ford, that hc use his best efforts to qiiash
court proceedings. The bulk of the wealth
and influence of IVestport is represented by
the names on those documents, and a pleas-
ing feature is the fact that many ladies signed
their names, and all the good ladies in town
wanted to do so—evidcnce conclusive of the
post-masters popularity as a man. That the
Capt. fell into a trap deliberately baited and
set and committed a wrong is true, and he
acknowledges it:—that his sympathies were
excited and he was importuned to do the very
thing he. most strenuously sought to avoid,
are fully substantiated by facts. Everybody
agrees Capt. Burr is honest. Eight years of
public service without steppingaside is the
proof. The outgrowth of. the whole misera-
-ble proceeding will be—it is, that Capt. Burr
is popular as a gentleman, and stands higher
than ever in this community as a business
man. Capt. Burr may, but we hope he may
not, lose this petty post office, but his friends
the people, have expressed themselves so
strongly as to his character and standing, that
he can command any position within the
people’s gift, and support of any kind he may
name. The result of proceedings in the Cap-
tain’s favor is awaited with interest.

cut the harness, and put a rope around his
neck, when both were pulled ashore.

The house at Popular. Plains near the resi-
dence of Mr. J. C. Taylor, owned and occu-
pied by Mrs. Maria Gregory, took fire and
was totally destroyed, Saturday. The fire
was carried 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
ago—Nevis. ' ,

For the Gazette. '
Capt. Barr’s case continues to exercise our

 

good Westport friends to a most extraordinary

degree. While the law regulating the sale of
stamps in offices of the fourth class is a mar-

vel of weakness and stupidity, in that it
makes it for the pecuniary interest for such
postmasters to sell all the stamps they possi-
bly can below a thousand dollars, neverthe-
less these postmasters take a solemn oath to
obey the law.
weakness, perhaps, yielded to the seductive

Capt. Burr in‘ a moment of

influences of a post oflice detective and vio-

lated the law. When arraigned he confessed
his fault frankly, insisting he had no idea, as
he probably had not, of defrauding the gov-
ernment. . But he did violate the law, as he_
confesses and as he knew he was doing at the
moment he committed his fault, for he argued ~

that point himself with the detective. Then,
too, hoconfessed to having mailed circulars
below the legal postal rates, for the detective,
which was another grave error, as he knew.
Now Capt. Burr is it not in heart, a dishonest
man. No one who knows him has such a
thought of him. Yet in view of the fact

that the department does not send out its de-
tective officers to spot postmasters not under
suspicion of committing grave
harsher term, is not a little unWise for over-
zealous friends to attempt to “bull-doze” the

rs, to use

few of his fellow citizens who may just as
honestly believe him guilty of a grievous
fault. We can readily understand that in
the present state of mind of the great major-
ity of the good people of Westport, it would
require far more moral courage to decline to
sign a petition requesting the department to
overlook his errors, than to join in the easy
petition with the multitude. As an outsider,
with none but the very kindest feelings to-
ward Capt. Burr and an unlimited confidence
in his-personal integrity, we can but think
that the cry of “crucify him, crucify him,”
raised against those‘who declined to sign his
paper, as most inopportune and injurious to
the interests of Capt. Burr. Indeed, we feel
assured that Capt. Burr himself is a man of
too good sense to justify this abuse of those
who have had the courage to act conscien-
tiously and independently, as they believe, in'
the matter. A special clamor seems to have
been raised against Mr. H. H. Belden, another
equally reputable citizen of Westport, as hav-
ing -been the. cause of all of Capt. Barr’s
trouble. The worst that is charged upon Mr.
Belden, as we understand it, is that he noti-
fied the department at Washington of the
loss of a letter of his own and of several
others containing valuable enclosures. It
was the duty of the postmaster to have done
this, but Capt. Burr had failed to do so and
Mr. Belden exercised only the commonest
right in advising the department of these
losses. We can but repeat that in our judg-
ment Capt. Burr himseif, in the honest and
penitcnt confession of his fault, placed the
whole responsibility just where we are sure
the department will finally rest it, and more-
over placed himself on much higher and bet-
ter ground than abusive attacks upon other
innocent citizens can possibly raise him or his
unfortunate cfise. H.

Messrs. S. M. I’ettengill A: 00., of the old-
established advertising agency in New York,
have commenced the publication of a yearly
Newspaper Directory and Advertising Hand-
book. The number for- 1877 has just been
issued. It is a book of nearly 400 double-
column pages, containing brief statistics of
all the newspapers published in this country
and Canada. While the book will be a valu-
able help to advertisers and others, it would
have been greatly improved if some distinc-
tion had been made between established and
legitimate journals and the ephemeral patent-
ontsidc and amateur papers which have sprung
up like mushrooms all through the country.
The book is handsomely embellished with

engravings, including fine portraits of some
of the leading editors of New York city.
