‘ i WILTON:
A number of Wilton young men are con-
sidering the advisability of organizing abraSs
band.’ Considerable interest has been shown
and with" proper encouragement from '_ our
citiZens it'ini'ght become one of the institu-
tions of Wilton.
During the present year Mr. Joseph 0.
Dikeman has erected a commodious and well
arranged house in the rear Of his former resi-
dence. This house is quite an addition to
the neighborhood, and it is hoped the owner
will live long to enjoy its beauties. '
Nothing pleases a \Vilton man so much, as
to find, when he puts on his boots, that the
baby has emptied a paper of carpet tacks into
one of them. ' ,
From the upper windows of Mr. Dikeman's
house, many fine viewscau be seen, but the
view upon which the last look of the behold-
er will linger is the glittering wavelets of
“Mayor Ely‘s Huckleberry Water,” guarded
by the frowning battlements of “Castle Brit-
to."
“lien" Raymond has again captured the
old gentleman’s horse, and gone off on his
periodical trading expedition.
Mr. Nelson Hanford has recently completed
a front gable and balcony extension, which
adds very much to the appearance of his
residence.
BEDDING.
A series of Union Grove Meetings were
held this week, at West Redding, onTuesday,

ed With every meeting. On Tuesday ’ af-
ternoon, Rev. W. W. Knox, of the 2nd Pres-
byterian Church, preached on the text—“We

—text, “Lord remember me when thou com-
est into thy kingdom. ”
Conference meetings were held at the close
of the meetings on‘Tuesday, and Wednesday,
but on Thursday afternoon. the meeting was
interrupted by a light, drizzling rain. The
first two days of the meeting the weather was
delightful. The meetings were greatly en-
joyed by Christian people, and were attended
with apparent interest by all.
A meeting is proposed to beheld at Bethel
some time this year, with reference to the or-
ganization of a permanent association for the
maintenance of these meetings in future.

As the Annual County Fair approaches, it
is suggested that Westport men make an ef-
fort to do what is an easy task for them, viz.,.
excel all their neighbors in sending strings of
yoked oxen for exhibition on cattle day. In
the .town are not less than 250 pairs of oxen,
and if Messrs. ‘William J. Finch, George H.
Nash, Leroy F. Meeker, and other live men
will use their influence, 150 pairs of these
may be sent to Norwalk, thus taking the
grand prize. Each driver of a team has free
entrance to the grounds, and given a din-
ner. .

went. _ . ' .
The road through Peat Swamp is in what
may be called a*“scratchy" conditidn, made
so by growing brambles. It would be cruel
to say Norwalk has reprehensibly left undone
a needed trimming, for she is pretty good on
roads near home. But she should attend to
this road right off, especially in view of the
large number of Westport folks trading with
her merchants. These will be driven-to seek

Boatmen and others passing in and out of
Westport harbor have observed the strange
appearance, presented by the break-water, on
Cedar Point, the face side of which seems to
be penctrable as with port holes. They ask
what causes it, and receive for. a reply that
information placed in the hands of U. S. Dis-
trict Attorney Childs, of Stamford, cites that
a property owner residing near the Point has,
for some time been systematically carrying
011 the stone, and appropriating them to pri-
vate use, As this Breakwater cost Uncle
Sam an aggregate of $6,000 can the old gen-

It is asserted that at the present time there
are thirty houses in Westport either in pro-
cess of construction or nearly completed—v
that every resident carpenter has more work
than he can do, and that “good men are com-
ing here for work finding it difficult to obtain

The late John Gray who died at the age of
90 years, had among his effects many curious
things such as manuscripts and papers of an
ancient date. Of the latter, a copy of the
Connecticut Courier, printed in Bridgeport,
Conn., OctOlier' 1-2, 1814, contains corres-
pondence and general news, so called, which,
at this time makes interesting reading. Here
is the style in which a friend of the paper‘
wrote 63 years ago. "
Hebron, Ct., Sept. 20, 1814. On receipt
of the late news from Lake Chainplain, a
number of persons collected in this town _to
show their patriotism 1y burning a little
powder. As they could procure no piece of
ordinance of stronger metal than the noted
one which was fired in the French war, they
were uhder the necessity of hooping up the
old town pump, or rather, they made a new
one with four hoops of bar iron on it. The
piece wasmountedon cart wheels, and for
the safety Of the town-plot, was conveyed to
a distant field where" they mustered up
courage and manfully fired it. The report
was tremendous and the sound re-echoed
from the far Oflf hills. People at a distance
who were ignorant of what was going on
supposed thatzthe earth quaked. Mars him-
self, who waspresent on the occasion, took
fright and fled. , As the piece had stood one
charge, it wasproposed to loon it to govern-
'ment for the use of the army in reducing
Canada, butit was thought prudent first to
proveit by a double charge of powder, when
it split, and what is quite remarkable no one
was killed, and every soul got home alive.

Some 30years ago there was excavated
through a point of land knoWn as “Great
Marsh”a canal, at- government expense, for
thebenefit of what was then supposed to be
the growing commercial interests of West-
port, the ideau‘being to enable vessels to avoid
the dangers of Cankeen's Island bar? and the
contiguous rocks, and at the same ,time save
several miles sailing each 'trip "by taking a
direct course to and from the metropolis.
The process ’of digging the canal occupied
much time and attracted much attention, the
means employed being crude and unwieldly
as compared with the almost perfect appli-
ances for excavating now in use. For many
years, after completion the canal was used
by merchant ’Evessels. to advantage, and all
crafts '3 sought: to; «pass throught it. In the

appropriation should be made with a view of
preserving what has already been expended.

At the recent meeting in the Shcrcrow dis-
trict the report of the special committe was
(read and accepted and bills amounting
to nearly $400. were allowed. Other bills
yet to be heard from will swell the cost
of the'improvements-to something less than
the, school house, the same to cost not over
$50. No tax was laid. It is believed
the money needed to liquidate bills will be
borrowed, and the district's note secured by
a deposit in a Norwalk Saving’s bank be
given' for the amount. The good feeling
ishown all round, especially after so much vi-
'tuperation and bitterness leads to the belief
that a shade tree or two will be set out near
the school house.

A WELL-MAN AGED AFFAIR.
Col.
Col. Cyrus M. Ferris, of this place, former-
ly resided over the line in the State of New
York, where he was very familiar with the
country and 'the people of Westchester
county. Last week he drove'over to a place
known as Pine’s Bridge, in Yorktown town-
ship, on Croton Lake. While stopping at a
quiet, retired j-lice, near a large vacant louse
which had formerly been occupied as a sum;
mer boarding house, he accidentally heard
two men talking about goingjo that house to
hire ahorse. Knowing the house had long
been vacant, he puts led to ask them several
questions as to the present occupants. , They
replied that the man was a total stranger, had
been there only a few weeks, was oil? a good
deal nights but was always around doing lit-
tle or nothing during the day time. The
conversation resulted in arousing the Col-
onel's suspicions that all was not right, and
the loss of John H. Quintard’s horse being
fresh in his mind, he could not resist the
temptation to get a sight of the man’s. horse.
How to do so, was the question. The
Colonel knew well enough that if the man.
was at all acquainted in Norwalk or Danbiiry,‘ ‘-
he would be recognized at once, as he is
almost universally known in this vicinity.
But to see the horse he was fully detcrmined,
and set his wits to work to accomplish that
end. He disguisedhimself as well as possi-
ble, took a man with him, got into a boat,
rowed about the lake for a time, and finally
landed on the premises. The house was
open, but deserted. The man looked into
the carriage house and reported a carriage
there, but the Colonel played indifferent and
loungcd about the grounds.
Finallya man's voice was heard in the
. fields anda man man there with a horse.
The colonel sent his companion. to tell him
that a stranger was there to look at the house
with a view to hiring, the. The man went,
and the Colonel slowly followed, meeting
'them. The Colonel is thoroughly posted in
horses, and the moment he clapped his sharp
€eyes on this horse he knew that it was Quin-
' tard’s, although efforts had been made to dis-
.guisc it by cutting off the tail, pulling out of
'mane, die. But the wily Colonel apparently
, took no notice whatever of the animal, talked
quietly to the man, walked to the house, leis-
urely examined it from end to end, with
the exception of a small annex to the rear
which the man said was occupied. After
about an hour, the Colonel shook hands with
the man, said good bye, and again took to
his team and quietly departed. '
He then sent two men in a boat to fish on
the lake, and watch the place, while he drove
to Katonah to get an officer, telegraph Quin-
tard, &c. He could not find a justice who
knew how to draw up the necessary papers,
but he had had experience in such matters; he
drew up the papers himself and had the jus-
tice sign them. ' '
Taking an officer who was highly recom-
mended, he instructed him how to act, so as
:uot to frighten the man, and returned to the
dicinity. He sent a man to the place to hire
the horse to go to a neighboring town, and
while hitching up, the officer strolled in. The
thief was sinpieious, but the oflicer had the
darbies on him berore he fairly knew that he
was caught. ' A hasty search of the premises,
revealed the carriage stolen from Mrs. Meek:
er, of Westport, the same night that the horse
was stolen, a cow, about eighty ohibkens, &e.
As it was now dark the ' Colonel specially
cautioned the officer about ‘ the. care of the
prisoner, took the stolen horse and castings,
followed them to Katonah, seven miles. The
oflicer once stopped and treated the prisoner
to liquor, for which the‘ Colonel reproved
him. Arriving in the village of Katonah,‘
the Colonel grew rather anxious and kept‘
close after them, but as they drove up there ‘
was some confusion with loads of hay, milk
men, etc. , and suddenly the Colonel was as-
tonished to. see the prisoner. jump from the
officer and run off, getting over a fence into
grOunds covered with pine trees. The oifli
cel' drew his revolver and fired, but without
effect. The Colonel’s indignation increased
when he learned that the officer had taken
off the handcuffs as he approached town be-
cause the prisoiier “seemed like a pretty good
scit of fellow. " ‘
The affair created an.uproar and some of
the people joined in pursuit of the thief, but
without success, while all denounced the 0m-
ccr. Next morning, Mr. Quintard arrived
and identified "the property, while oilice'rs
searched the house and seized the cow, chick-
ens, etc. The thief proved to be one of the
notorious James brothers, recently released
from our State Prison. The Colonel de.
serves great credit for his conduct of tlic af-
fair.
