R. R. has placed this station which has been
tastily and neatly repaired, under the charge
of James Powell, with a liberal salary.
The evening of the 13th inst. was one of
festive enjoyment at Perkinsville. Some
seventy lads and lasses gathered at the Doc-
tor‘s and “tripped the light fantastic” till the
early dawn of the following morn.
An assault upon a little son of J amcs
Crowlhcr by a young man last 'chuesday,
aroused considerable indignation; the assail-
ant had no grievance to redress, and all. who
use acquainted with little Frankie, know him
to be incapable of doing anything to deserve
such brutal treatment.
The side arms wern by the late David St.
John, in the war of 1812 were shown us a
day or two ago. The sabre looks as though
it might have done good service, yet it is still
in good condition, while the hint lock pistols
do not look dangerous enough to scare a
school boy. They are Carefully preserved by
the adopted daughter of the old trooper, Mrs.
Thomas J. West.
The sale of the St. John farm was post-
poned from the 15th to the 25th inst. after
the bidding had reached the sum of $5,500.
A Danbury man heavily laden with whis-
key, fell from his buggy while on his way

last.
An adjourned town meeting was held on
Monday of last week. It was voted to re-
duce the interest on all town orders to 6 per

After the arrival of winter and stoves are
up and coal fires burning, it is inconvenient
for people to accept a change of weather like
that of Friday, when the sun came out warm
as in June. “Old Prob” is proverbially a
juggler. He frowns but that he may smile.
So it was Friday. In the morning, cold rain,
——1ate in the day, lukewarm sunshine, which,
though coming out of seasm was enjoyed.
Overcoats were hung upon the peg but to be
taken down again when Sunday’s cold wind
blew so strong from the northwest.
The removal of Hull’s drug store and the
post ofilce to the new quarters, No 5 Main
street, accommodates the public. The change,
however, in one sense, is a source of regret,
from the fact that it entails the closing for-
ever of the store of the late John Warren
Taylor, which was kept open day and even-
ing for a period of upwards of 40 years.
The Chess Club met, Saturday evening, at
Mr. Sydney Watt’s, who has purchased the
house formerly occupied by Mr. Wesley Ly-
Oii. Songs with piano accompainment by
Mrs. Watt, and the light and heat from a log
fire on the hearth, threw an air of social
pleasantncss around the players. Club meets
next Saturday evening at Mr. A. S. Hurl-
butt’s.
Mr. Charles W. Sherwood has supplied the
district school house, at Coleytown,with new
seats and desks of his brether’s patent, simi-
lar to those in “Shererow” school house.
So complete is the change wrought on
Wright street at Capt. II. P. Burr’s corner,
by the introduction of a sidewalk, that few
would know any work had been done. That
the work will be permanent is evinced by
several days carting of gravel by Messrs. W.
L. Finch and Frederick Morehouse. The
town paid $30 towards the improvement.
There has this year been a bigger haul of
shingles from Mr. 11. Staples yard for
building and repairing, than ever before. The
supply has been equal to the demand.
The introduction of water into Westport is
now being discussed by gentlemen, who,whcn
they see the practicability of the thing, will
use means to bring the object about. There
are two sources of good height near West-
port from whence water can be brought.
Friday evening at the depot Mr. H. R.
Treadwell slipped and fell as he was in the
act of stepping from the platforminto a horse
car. He was slightly injured. Mr. Lewis
Bradley, who has not forgotten that turkey
taking by Treadwell and 00., a year or two
since, hearing of the accident, remarked that,
hereafter no refreshments will be offered at
Stamford to passengers on the New Haven
road, as it evidently has bad effects.

Judge John R. Brady, of New York, deliv-
ered a lecture at Riverside, last week Mon-
day evening;
The house of the Misses Reynolds was en-
tered by burglars and robbed of twenty pairs
of sheets, pillow cases, table cloths, shawls,
850. They entered the sleeping apartments of
the ladies, demanding their money, threaten-
always retained its body and color.
In an item in this column last week we
should have said Cornell’s Outline Maps in-
stead of Mitchell’s Outline Maps. The ob-
ject of the item was to show the lack of
judgment on the part of the School Board
in discarding existing outline maps and intro-
ducing new ones. The Westmrter defends
the action of the Board by stating that the
Cornell maps are inaccurate,-—that many
changes in the geography of Europe and the
United States have taken place during ten
years, and maps used in public schools ought
to show the geography of to-day. Compar.
ing Camps’ maps just introduced with Cor-
nel’s, set aside, it is found that the former
are open to criticism. They to are things of
the past, having been “Entered according to
Act of Congress, 1871.” Tlieyfail to show
the true outlines of changes. As for in-
stance in Europe, nothing indicates the ex-
tension of Italy westward, or the loss to
France of the provinces of Alsace and Lor-
aine, and their acquisition by the German
Empire. The map of Asia does not indicate
the extension south of the eastern portion of
the Russian Empire known as Siberia, and
in Africa not a line appears to point the val-
uable discoveries of the great Livingstone
and his successor, Stanley. In fact the maps
are duplicates with trifling exceptions, of
Cornell‘s. The Cornell maps were large and
fourteen in number,——Camp’s are very small
and are eight in number, only. The only
recommending quality of the maps as it:
applied to the divisions of land and water.
Again the Westporter defends the Board by
saying that as the town could draw $100
from the State Treasury ‘ for maps, etc., it
was thought best to take advantage of the priv-
ih go. No note is made, however, of the fact
that the town itself must advance $100 in or-
der to secure $100 from the State. It will
thus be seen that this map business is expen-
sive, and recklessly so when it is seen that,
the new maps show but few things not found
on the old. In conclusion, as Mitchell was
the originator of outline maps and Cornell
copied them, this column was practically
right when it ascribed the discarded maps
to Mitchell.

The Sabbath School concert at the school
house on Sunday evening last,:was a decided-
ly interesting affair and was well attended.
The subject was “the early life of St. Paul.”
The class exercises were very interesting,
the singing good and the remarks of the Rev.
Mr. Lathbury very eloquent. We trust we
may be present at each recurring concert.
Pray or meeting at Mr. Wm. Betts’ house,
Friday evening next. Don’t forget it.
CONFIRMATION BY BISHOP GALBERRY—A
Cunarnnr BLESSED. '
The sacred rite of confirmation was ad-
ministered Sunday morning at Assumption
church by Right Rev. Bishop Galbcrry of the
Diocese of Hartford. He was assisted in the
services by Rev. Father Keating, pastor of
the church, Rev. Father Dwyer of Nor-
walk, and Harty of Fairfield. The church
which was decorated for the occasion was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and large
numbers were unable to gain admission.
High Mass was celebrated at 10 o'clock by
the Bishop, assisted by Rev. Father Keating
celebrant, a new altar with all new orna-
ments,—a gem in its way, being brought into
use for the first time. The choir, under the
direction of Miss Annie Dunlay, organist, of
Saugatuck, sang the “Kyrie,” “Gloria” and
“Credo,” adding much to the solemnities.
At the conclusion of Mass, the candidates, 80
in number, 43 of whom were young ladies
dressed in white, wearing white veils and
crowns upon their heads, came forward to
the Altar and were addressed by the Bishop
who instructed them in eloquent words as to
the meaning and significance of confirmation
and the benefits to be derived therefrom.
The laying on of hands then took place and
the congregation was dismissed. Vespers
were sung at 3 p. m., followed by “Benedic-
tion of the Blessed Sacrament.” The Bishop,
priests and people then proceeded to the
cemetery on King Street. Here had been
erected three crosses the largest of which is
16 feet high. At the foot of this cross “The
Litany of the Saints," or the “Ordinary
Litany,” was chanted by the Bishop and
assisting priests, all kneeling. The cross and
earth surrounding it was sprinkled with
Holy water. At the conclusion of this cere-
mony a procession was formed headed by
the Bishops and priests who, as they slowly
made the circuit of the cemetery chanted
“The Peaitcntial Psalms." An address by
the Bishop closed the day’s exercises.

REPORT
—--OF THE“
Superintendent of the Insurance Department
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK," '
---ON THE——
ExaminationtitlellarinrlliftInsuranceto,I
OF NEW. YORK. CITY. ,
Insunancn Dunnrnnn'r, '
Albany, October 24th, 1877. .
The Superintendent having personally, and through the service of the Deputy Superin-
tendent, aided by the force of the Department, commenced and completed a. searching examin-
ation into the affairs of the NEW-YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of the City of New:York,
it affords him unqualified pleasure at being able to announce and make public the gratifying
fact that the result of this examination is most satisfactory, and that, from the data. in poscssion
of the Department, the solvency of this, or other companies undergoing a. similar test, can be
readily ascertained, at little expense, for many years to some.
This Company was organized in 1845, and no investigation having been made, either by
the Department or other properly constituted public authority, prior to the date when the De-
partment was formed, much time has necessarily been expanded to bring the matter'to a cou-~
clusion.
The services of forty.one gentleman of character, standing, and experience, have been pro-
cured, who have valued and appraised the property situated in forty counticsin this State and
in the State of New Jersey, covered by 2,629 mortages amounting to the sum of $17,354,847 .
84, and forty-nine pioccspf property owried by the Company amounting in value to the sum
of $2,541,576.46 : which services have been intelligently and efficiently performed. The ab-
stracts of title to each and every piece of these large amounts of property have beenclosely o!-
amined and reported on to the satisfaction of the Superintendent. All other investments,
amounting to $0,311,045.67, have been carefully looked into, and evidence of payment by the
Company, either by check or otherwise, for such investments, demanded and given, although
many of these payments were made twenty years ago. The cash securities of the Company,
the cost of which on the books amounts to $9,730,529.91, are of the most unexceptionable. char-
aeter, and are worth $580,515.76 more than cost.
The Superintendent personally examined these securities, taking the letter, number, and
denomination of each security, and preserving the record of the same in the Department In
charged to profit and loss account, and all items of doubtful character had been stricken off by
the Company from its assets, and omitted from its reports. Complete seriatum lists of poli-
cies, premium loans, and uncallected and deferred premium have been made,_and are on filo
in the Department.
LIABILITIES.
Every item of liability, real and actual, or contingent, on sworn toby the officers in the
last Annual Report made to the Department, a copy of which is herein embraced, has been
closely scruitinized, and the statements in said report found to be true to the letter, and no other
liabilities were found to exist.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The different Departments—Medical, Acturial and Agency —have been reviewed, with the
most satisfactory results—gentlemen entirely competent and assidous having been found in
charge of each branch, to whose conduct and performance of their duties much is due.
Agents collecting funds of the Company at difierent points are held to arigid uccouutabili.
ty, remittance being required at the larger points tri-weekly, while at the smallest points
settlements are not allowed to be delayed longer than one week. Bonds are required where
the sums handled are sufficient to justify the same.
The system of book-keeping adopted by the Company, after many years of experience,
seems to be pcrfcct,—tbe checks by one division on another being so complete, that no wrong
can be done to policy-holders by false entries of any kind, short of wide-spread collusion among
many employee, all whom were found to be exceedingly courteous, and, acting under instruc.
tions from the principal officers of the Company, were prompt in furnishing full information
as to every detail.
Judged by the hardest test that could be applied under the law, and with every doubtful-
itom eliminated from their resources, the net surplus, as shown by the detailed statement of
this Company, which follows, amounts to $5,962,878.79.
This exhibit clearly establishes the fact that where a Life Insurance Company is honest'
1y, ably, and prudently managed, there is no occasion to force a showing of solvency by in-
cluding in its assets prospective value of real estate, and excesses of premium, payments to be
received.
For the reasons above given, the Superintendent has no hesitation in stating that this
great Corporation is entitled to public confidence and its officers to his warmest commendation. '
