a Norwaik Gazette. Tuesday, July 24th, 1877. Fairfield County Items. WILTON. There have been seven weddings in Wilton this year. The seal for the town of Wilton contains neither motto nor device. Wilton’s history has been thus far barren of any important events. ' . Mr. T. K. Hubbcll has begun to demolish the old house formerly occupied by himself. This building was erected in the last century and was the birthplace of three Revolutionary soldiers. A Mormon missionary undertook to en- lighten the good people of Zions Hill on a re- cent Sabbath evening. Commissioner Cannon has a dog which on a recent occasion displayed more than ordi- nary intelligence. Fido was a listener to a conversation which resulted in a decision to drown him in company with. several kittens. After the kittens had been secured and Fido was wanted to accompany them he was mis- sing. Search was made and after a long time he was found hidden in an obscure part of the attic. When brought down stairs he crawled under the table and shook for some time from fear. This exhibition of canine so.- gacity secured for him a longer lease of life and he now walks about a happy dog. The Congregational Church Fair will be held on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance from abroad. Every effort will be made to please. ‘ . Several Wilton sinners got in their hay on Sunday last. _ It is very nice for poets to sing of “IIar- vesting the golden grain," “meadows fresh with new moon hay,” etc., etc. the sturdy granger toiling in the hot sun, sees the summer boarders swinging in a sheltered hammock reading the latest novel, his faith in the beauties of pastoral poetry are considera- bl y shaken. WILL Toxx. RIDGEFIELD. The last was a poor hay week, E. W. Kee- lcr’s horse capsized his wagon on Monday and Friday of last week. No damage in either case, unless the beast gets in the habit of do- ing the same thing out of pure love of mis- chief. ' Thomas Cahill, aged 65, died last Thursday after a short illness. Abraham Pullen’s house was struck by lightning, during the shower of Tuesday. Seine papers in thc garret took fire, but were discovered before any damage was done. The latest movement is a walking club. Any one may join without regard to age, sex, or sects, provided they get an invitation. The “ Musical ” was off to Lake Waccabuc on a picnic last .Wednesday. They had a good time from morn till night.‘ It is about time this society gave a concert. . Rev. G. L. Thompson of Brooklyn, N. Y. exchanged with Mr. Ross, Sunday. Stuart Rogers is advertised to give one of his unique entertainments at the Hall to,-nior- row evening, July 25th. This is the first summer entertainment, and a warm evening and a good moonought to give a large house. We know all will get their money‘s worth. J. Howard King is going to build a tower on the Ridge, which will make it one of the most sightly spotsin the country. . Mr. John C. Sproull of New York, and James Sproull of Passaic, New York; have been visit-ing in Ridgcfield. P. C. Lounsbury is pushing the improve- ments on liisplace. This town once voted adversely to the Con- tinental Congress, and to stand by the King. The following interesting centennial extract is taken from Holt’s Journal, Feb. 23, 1775. “At the meeting of the .delegates, at Fair- fleld, every town in the county was repre- sented except Ridgcficld and Newtown. In the evening of the day the meeting was held, “two of the inhabitants of a place lately known and called by the name of Ridgefielcl, put up at a public house in W’ethcrsfield, Ct., and entering into conversation, boldly justi- fied the vote of the said late town of Ridge- ficld, in disapproving of the doings of the Continental Congress, and proceeded far in supporting court doctrines of passive obedi- ence to Parliament, IS“:- This was taken notice of by a number of gentlemen present, who considered it in effect, as a direct breach of the Association of the said Congress, and, therefore voted that, ‘in their opinion, it was proper that those persons should be returned the way from whence they came, under safe conduct, from town to town, to the said place lately known by the said name of Ridgefield, and that all honest and, true men of their country might know and avoid them, proper persons were appointed instantly to attend them on their return as far as Farmington, and then to acquaint the inhabitants of their behavior, and have them to their‘ further transportation, as is usual; and as by law is provided, in case of strolling idiots, lunatics, &c. A letter was accordingly written to the gentlemen at Farmington, representing their unhappy and desperate situation, which was signed by the principal gentlemen present, and the unhappy men properly escorted, set off at nine o’clock, amidst the hisses, groans, the, of a respectable concourse of people, the populace following them out of town beating a dead mare .” . Gen. NV. It. Pcase and Lient. TI. W. Hub- bell, U. S. Army, and Dr. \V. II. Dudley of Brooklyn, Dr. T. M. Cheeseman of N. Y., with their families, are stopping with J. W. Rockwell. WESTON. Letters recievcd from Prof. Cole report him and friends enjoying themselves in the vicinity of Mt. Desert, all in good health. Among the boarders at Mr. Jarvis’ Summer llotcl, are Editors, Bankers and Mcrchants~ some of the very best New York and Brook- lyn society. Aheavy thunder stdrm accompanied by . very vivid lightning, passed over our town on Tuesday afternoon, during which a very valuable cow belonging to Mr. Samuel Switch was instantly killed. The weather for liayinaking has been rath- ' er unfavorable for the greater part of the past week, a great deal of grumbling in conse- quence. ’ We are informed by those who know from personal experience, that the bill of fare at the new summer hotel is more than excellent and that all the delicacies of the season, fresh and fine are always on hand, just as at the best hotels in the city min the country. Mr. Chillics Nichols, son of ourvrc’spected town clerk, is spending his vacation at home. C Berries are not only very plentiful this sea- son, but what is far better, they are very sweet, juicy and delicious. Quite a number of “pickers” are busy and find a ready sale. The prayer meeting at Deacon D. L. Coley’s Sunday afternoon, was well attended. Rev. Mr. Strong, of Georgetown, exchang ed with Rev. Mr. Lubkert of the Congrega- tional church. The services were well at- tended both morning and afternoon and Mr. Strong preached two excellent discourses to an appreciative audience. The Indian encampment has been moved from the region of the Den to that of the Forges. One of the little papooses died re- cently on the road in the arms of its squaw' mother. Sad but true. Not long ago during a heavy thundershow- er, one of those noble aims in front of the residence of Mr. Ebenezer Fitch, was struck by lightning, but otherwise no damage was done. IIops (not the plant, but the musical and terpsiehoreau hops), are a regular affair at the Military Institute public reception room, every Saturday evening, from 9 o’clock, till 11 o’clock. The temperance prayer meeting in Bradley- ville, was well attended. Notwithstanding the oppressive heat especially in close rooms in the evening, all such meetings continue as interesting as before, which argues well for a healthy sentiment in favor of the great cause.

The change'from fair ‘woathCr Wednesday to foul On Thursday, caught vast quantities of hay and grain in the fields, which have been waiting ever since for a chance to visit the barn. _ .The frame for" Vigilant Engine house has been raised. to teach the East Saugatuck district school at pay his own assistant. _ Thieves must have been looking around and examining the premises of Mr. Marvin, through the slats of the pantry and abstracted articles of ham, sugar, etc. That they were on a steal (steel) when they visited Mr. Ezra Hawley’s is evidenced by the fact tliat‘tliey got into his corn house and took scythcs. Dr. Page’s horse ran away Friday but was caught. - ' Mr. Stephen Meeker is still looking for the horse stolen from him Sunday night, 15th. The iron fronts to Hurlbutt & Sturgcsfivc brick stores onState street have been placed in position. The-buildings are two stories high each, and in connection with the wing- like ro'ofs Mr. F; W. Jessup is putting on his frame building opposite, give Westport quite a City appearance. ' The Schooner Race left a load of brick at. the wharf, east side, last week, and then ran aground at the Other pond. Efforts on the part of local experts with book and line to beat Jellilfe’s seven pound black-fish have thus far signally failed. Three and a half pounds is the highest notch at which they have been able to raise the beam. Much complaint, is made about cows rnn~ ning at large in the streets, but some people with impunity turn their horses in the streets to graze and nobody says a word. ~ As the first year of the street railroad’s operations draws to a close its financial suc- cess is more and llIOl‘CflDpfli‘en‘L Itis con- fidently believed the company will declare a dividend of six per cent.., on the capital in- vested. One day last week, a Mr. Allen, of Compo while on his way to Mr. Morris Ketchum’s place discovered among stones and rubbish by the way side a bottle of peculiar shape, bearing the following words written in ink. “Isaac Gorham, 1812. From the appearance of the bottle it had lain where found many years, and on withdrawing the cork there came forth the fumes of old fashioned rye whiskey, 'showing that the late owner wheth- er Gorliani or some other man bad taste for good spirits, and gratified it to the last. It is frequently said that the rum of this day can bear no comparison for exquisite quality with that of the period indicated by the date on the bottle. The truth of that ’ theory is strengthened by the. bottic’s contents which held its own for 65 years; Druggist Cannon will take the bottle into his museum as a eu- riosity. ' Field blackberries, never before more num- erous, have made many a boy and girl happy during the week. - Tuesday’s thunder ‘storm of which every- body lias been talking, and which all the pa- pers have described because nothing like it had occurred since 1862, was no ordinary oc- currence. All things animate and inanimate seemed overflowing with electricty and await- ing this chanCe to discharge. The lightning struck the house a; Mr. Charles J. Ketchum, Mr. . William H. Marvin and Mrs. Charles Elwbod, and many trees, doing damage. The electric fiuid’s pranks suggest some thoughts which may be expressed instead of the usual tedious account of a thunder storms effects. And first, it is evident that lightning rods are a humbug, and no more protect houses from lightning bolts than would so many corn cobs. The fact that Messrs. Ketchum and Marvin’s houses, both of which were rodded, were struck, the latter literally torn to pieces,shows this. But some man may say “Marvin’s rod was not in order and hence the failure of the fluid to follow it to the ground and the disas- trous results?” In answer to this our citizens are referred to the late John W. Taylor’s house, which had a good rod; Capt. B. L. Waites—years ago, which had rods on the roof ’s peak and at chry corner, and Mr. Edwin Wheeler’s house, all of which were struck, the lightning passing between the rods and playing the mischief as if they did not exist. Again one place is as safe as an- other in a thunder storm. It is natural to run into houses for shelter when lightning is flashing and thunder rolling, but the woman near Bridgeport who was instantly killed in her own house during the shower, and the child she held in her arms which was not, could they speak, would tell us how delusive is such a notion. Mr. Marvin and family of seven hoped to be out of harms’ way under their own roof and it so happened they were, but the effects of the lightnings stroke shows that for that matter they might as well have been in the middle of a ten acre lot. Three or four party‘s of fishermen out at the rocks when the shower came up bad .to ride un- sheltercd through its fierceness,the fluid bolts descending thickly about them and they un- injured, can say to those who more fortunate only because they had dry jackets, “we were as well off as you.” ' Finally, it can be said, with all due respect, that, if lightning strikes you no matter when or. where, it will, as a rule, settle accounts with you instantly. There will be no after‘ perhapses or explana- tions—the balance struck will be final. A fact worthy of consideration is this ?———during a storm, so long as one can see the lightning and hear the thunder, he is .safe?—when he can do neither, then, and there is no desire to treat so serious 0. subject lightly,——then he has entered “that bournc form which no trav- eller returns,” - - Rev. A. N. Lewis exchanged, Sunday, with Rev. Mr. Van Burcn of Milford. At the morning service when the last tone of the “Te Deum” was cchowing through the fretted archways of the edifice, a loud voiced Chanticleer outside piped his note on exactly the same key as that of the organ, and prolonged it to such an extent as to raise a smile on the face of many a devout listener. f‘ PAUL. ” GREENWICH. , Three Greenwich ybung men hitched their row boat to the stern of the Schultz while the steamer was at the landing in that place,Wed- nesday night, and when she backed the boat was run over; two of the occupants escaped by jumping overboard, and the third, who lwas blind, climbed to the deck of the steam- oat, Col.

E. Smith, West Stamford, was destoycd by fire last Tuesday morning. Valued-at $600.—Arlvocale. At Deacon. ’s wedding it was not enough that a “skimmerton” party made night hideous with an internal din fr0m in- struments the most unmusical, on Thursday evening, but the visit must needs be repeated on the following evening. Lawlessness gen- erally is said to have prevailed. The connect- ing wire of the door bell was pulled out, window glass were broken, and an outbuild- ing or two was damaged. Twenty-five dol- lars was demanded by the “skimmertons” as the price of peace, but this the groom rightly refused to hand over. . It is said that he will bring action against the offenders. Pity that a newly-married couple cannot go unmolcstcd, even if there is a vast difference in their re- spective ages.

I dropped you adinelast week not propos- ing at that time to follow it up so soon' with another, but the growing uncertainty of mail cominunicationleadsmc to do so. My last was written on Monday, so on Wednesday we sent offour families in the boat—not, however, to the Sheikhs’ village of which I wrote, but to the islands of Akhtama, which Armenian monastery and a good harbor. There mature reflection made us feel that any place to whichthe Khoords have access is un- safe, and hence our change of plan. We first thought of a nearer island, but the bish— op would not listen to it. So holy is the spot that the contaminating presence of even Armenian women is not allowed. In vain we urged that our ladies would not go near the monastery, but pitch their tents on the farth- est end of the island—the desecration was not to be thought of. How far removed from the conduct of Him who “loved Martha and her sister,” and permitted a woman “which was a sinner” to wash his feet with tears. But at Akhtaina women are tolerated, and the Bishop has no jurisdiction there, for it is the seat of the Catholics of whom there are but three in the whole Armenian church He is also a more liberal man, and is especially indebted to the English consul at Erzcrum, so that we are confident he gave our friends a gracious reception. Dr. R. and I with two police officers es- corted the two wagons to the wharf, full five miles from our houses. We found nearly one hundred ugly-looking Khoords there, ' and one of our policemen told them we were English and that‘the Sultan loved our King very much. Part of them were disposed to be friendly and part not, but one of their chiefs was there who held them in restraint. We hurried the party and their baggage into the boat, and Mr. S. drew out alittlc distance from shore, cast anchor and waited for a fav- orable breeze which came in the evening, and they got off in comfort as we learned by a note sent by a policeman we left there. When I was in one of the wagons passing out bundles to the sailors and servants, a Khoord my head for nearly a minute. I suppose it was done to frighten me and yet I did not exactly-relish i‘. Still I laughed and said, “Shoot the Russians." One who knew Turk- ish asked,“Aren’t you a Russian ?” “No; Englis .” (English and Americans are all one out here). He replied, sneeringly, “What is the difference?” Another ran after me as 1 was walking by and snapped a cap on his pis- tol at me. Still another aimed his gun at me, but less persistently than the first. As I started away my horse neighcd .“good bye,” whereupon the Khoords Called out in concert “Ya kcafur”—“Oh, Infidel." Ismiled my acknowledgement of the compliment and‘ rode on. Though there has as yet been no battle in this vicinity, the region is already suffering terribly. There has as yet been no general massacre, only a few isolated murders,‘and yet, if the reports that come to us are cor- rect, this crowning horror alone is wanting to repeat the Bulgarian atrocities in those villages through which the Khoords have paSsed. They have turned their horses into the wheat fields and destroyed or partly dam- aged the crops. They have eaten up all in the villages so that the inhabitants in some cases are constrained to live upon roots and herbs. They have stolen all the valuables, and even used torture to compel men to re- veal their hidden treasures. They have de- filed churches, and in one village, it is said, there is not a young woman left who has not been violated. Some villages have been on- tirely deserted, the inhabitants fleeing to the mountains or to near and friendly Khoodish villages. Now allow literally for exaggera- tions, and there remains a terrible inventory of truth in these stories. In the city, matters have grown worse since Iwrote you. Not only the markets, but the strpets also have been largely desert- ed. Men arc daily stopped and robbed—- sometimes of only cap and shoes, sometimes of all they have. The robbery is accompan- ied withabeating or not according to the ready compliance of the Christian and the feeling of the Khoords. Shops have been broken open and houses are entered when the doors are found open. Matters daily grow worse, both because the Khoords were continually receiving reinforcements until they numbered over 4000, it is said, and be- cause they became more at home in the streets. and wards of the city. Saturday some fifty or sixty artillerymen arrived and the Pasha immediately sent them to castle and since then, it is said, breathes easier. Yeéterday a few hundred Khoords, it is said, left for the camp at Pergri, and it was also announced that the bulk of them were 'to start to-day. This is very gratifying if true, and especially if, as is now said, their sheikh with the rest of his forces is not to come to the city but go direct from his region to the camp. It is said that the city Turks set the robbers on, telling them that'the Armenians have caused this war by inviting the Russians to come’and deliver them from Moslem rule. I can but believe, however, that the better and more sensible portion of them feels that the ,matter is going too far and are anxious for the Khoords to leave. Here is an affair we saw from our cwn roof. Two armed Khoords ' came upon some women, woking in a rear garden, with vile intent. They raised a cry and Turks and Armenians from neighboring fields and..houses ran upon the rascals and beat them to theirheart’s content. One Turk broke a sword belonging to one of them. The ofllcials assure us of and I think mean to afford us all the protection in their power. We have three Turkish armed policemen as guard, one of whom patrols the premises all night. Rumor says there has been a severe en- gagement at Ardahan, northeast of Erzcruin; she also says that when these Khoords leave the Pasha proposes to remove all the inhabi- tants of the walled city to the gardens in an- ticipation of a bombardment of the castle. But rumor has lied so much lately that we are slow to believe her. Yours, H. S. B. DAN BURY.
