nearly ninety-three years.

badly scalded on both feet and legs, "last
Saturday. .
The Fourth passed off very quietly,
although during the smallhours of the morn-
ing sleeping was made difl‘icult by the noise
of cannon, and the ringing of the Congrega-
tional church bell. The amount. of patriot-
ism shown by the boys, on that day, makes
it a matter of wonder that they can restrain
themselves so well during the remainder of
the year. In the evening there were some
fire works on the place of P. C. Lounsbury.
The band marched through the street dis-
coursing excellent music.

ing the bells at sunrise, noon and sunset.

water to celebrate the 4th than has been the

Several bloody fights are reported. as having
happened up town, while the scene which
took place at the Waterside of riot and blood-
shed was most disgraceful to any order-lovin g
ople. .

Wm. 0 en J ones. son-in-law of the late
Alex. Mc enzie, Esq., of Stamford, vvas
accidentally scolded to death at his residence
in New York city. From the account given

lost his life in the manner indicated.

DANBURY.
The town was all excitement last week
Monday. The previous night, the Post Office
had been entered by burglars who seemed to
have no trouble with the Yale locks, and the
office safe was blown open with powder,
about 5 a. m. The bur lars got off with $225
worth of stamps and $ 00 in cash,’ but over-
looked a package of $335. The same night,
the house of W. B. Sharpe was entered. Mr.
Sharp chloroformed and robbed of $235rin
bills, a $300 watch, a_ chain valued at $175, a
ring worth $75. and a solitaire diamond pin
valued at $800 in gold, sleeve button. cigars,
etc. Three men are supposed to have been
engaged in the operations. Officers got on
the track of one of them but he escaped in
the bushes. They were evidently experts.
The 4th was quietly celebrated, large num-
bers of people going off on excursions from
Norwalk, up the Shepaug on pic-nies, or to
local resorts. ,St. Peter’s parish spent the
day in an orchard on Deer Hill avenue. Ac-
cidents were few, and not se‘rious,and drunks

WESTPORT.
. The Fourtheamg'to us with fine. weather,
and although there was no general celebration,
there was much enjoyment. Scarcely had '
the small hours of morning arrived when
small boys, and some large ones, found them-
selves in four church belfries where they rang
bells and woke up sleepers far and near.
This they called, following the example of
their fathers who had done the same thing
manya time before them, inaugurating In-
dependence day. To much of a good thing
is bad, and when this din had been kept up
three or four hours, there were few fair
minded persons who did not wish these boys
in Halifax, especially after they organized
themselves into a “Calithumpian” band and
with drums and fish horns marched abouttlie
streets unhinging gates and doors, ringing
front door bells, tearing pales off fences,
pulling up hitching posts, etc. During the
day much bunting was exhibited, but less
than in former years. It is known that many
good dinners were eaten, and the quiet of
afternOon was suggestive, of comfort. The
only people who showed sign of active
patriotism were the members of Assumption
(catholic) church Sunday School, who pre-
ceeded by fife playing Revolutionary airs
and a drum, beat by the veteran George
Tuttle, marched to Winslow Grove for a pic-
nic. v
Mr. Wm. B. McCready was fortunate
enough to house his hay before the catching
Weather came. His crop was large. From
thirty-five acres of meadow he took 49 tons

to be favorable to the rapid growth of grass.
Next Sunday afternoon July 15, the choir

An entire family on Golden Hill went
fishing—in a well. one day last Week. After
keeping it up till night the lost bucket
was hooked, but the piece of fresh meat which
hung in the well, sunk to the bottom and re-
mains there. .
Sunday, Rev. John R. Williams entered
upon his eighteenth year as rector of Christ
Church.
Go and view “Willow Brook” Cemetery,

A novel one cared race between two boats
with novel names—the “Norwalk Bug,” F.
Allen, and the “Horse Fect,” M. Allen, took
place Saturday, the course being from the
village bridge to Wright’s Island and return.
Strange to say the “Bug” proved an easy
winner, though her adversagy had the advan-
tage of being a—“Foot”—Time 13 minutes 24

The importance of destroying potato bugs
should not be under estimated. The bags
have done little damage as yet, but that they
are destined to do much is true. The present
high price of potatoes has nothing to do with
bug activity, but the scarcity which it is be-
lieved will follow, bears on the question.
As showing what time is likely to develop,
a farmer one day last week picked from a.
single row of potatoes, 1,163 bugs. He set
out to pick bugs from an entire acre, but as
there was 80 rows in the acre he gave up the
job as abad one. Now let us speculate a
little on what may happenif no bugs are
picked or destroyed. Eighty rows of pota-
toes with 1,163 bugs to the row yields at the
first picking 93,000 bugs. The potato grow-
ing season lasts about 30 days longer, and it
is believed the number of bugs mentioned
can be picked at least twenty times before
the end of the season,—an aggregate of 1,.
860,000 bugs. As there are about 300 acres
in town planted with potatoes, we have the.
sum of 558,000,000 bugs for Westport alone.
It is fair to cla'gi that the 160 towns in the
state have planted an average this year of 300
acres, which multiplied in to the figures as
above, gives for Connecticut the enormous
aggregate of 89,280,000,000. To bring this
insect product down where we can see it,.we
will suppose a quart measure holds 8,000
bugs—a liberal estimate, and we have 11,-
160,000 quarts. At 32 quarts to the bushel,
we have 848,750 bushels, enough to load
many large sized ships. New England
yielded‘last year 24,000,000 bushels of pota-
toes. Connecticut’s proportion was, at a
rough guess, 4,000,000 bushels, or at the rate
of an average of 85 bushels to the acre. If
these bugs are permitted'to do their deadly
work, many and many an acre will yield 10,
and 15 bushels instead of 85, and it will be
fair to reckon the loss occasioned by bugs at
fully one-half the crop, or 2,000,000. As the
ruling price will be about $1.00 per bushel,
the loss we are likely to experience can
readily be figured. .

Rousdsman Joe Spicer says his orders from .

Two young men, so drunk that they could

What the Biliouo Require.
Since torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of
its disorder, it is evident that what the bilious re-
quire is an alterative stimulant which will arouse
it to activity. an effect that is followed by the dis-
appearance of the various symptoms indicative of
its derangement. Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters in-
variably achieve the- primary result mentioned,
besides removing ' the constipation, flatulence,
heart-burn, yellowncss of the skin and whites of
the eye. pain in the right side and under the right
shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache, to
which bilions invalids are peculiarly subject. As
