WILTON.
There has been considerable religious in-
terest evinced lately in the Bald Hill church.
The highway bridge near the residence of
Mr. W. S. Cole has been replaced by anew
structure.
Two worthy Wilton men are engaged in a
legal contest over the ownership of an island
situated in the mill pond of the defendant,
the value of which can be more easily com-
puted in cents than in dollars.
The Rev. Mr. Fletcher of Brooklyn L. I.
occupied the pulpit of the Zion’s Ilill Church
on Sunday afternoon.
The late Isaac M. Sturges, shortly before
his death, ordered a fine monument of Quincy
granite for the family lot in St. Matthew’s
church-yard. This has now been erected
and the lot. is also being surrounded by a
granite coping.
Mr. James Comstock after a short period
of retirement, has again resumed business.
Surprise parties are quite frequent. Mr.
Joseph Lockwood received a visit from his
friends on Wednesday evening last. On
Thanksgiving evening the ltouseiof S. P. Fitch
Esq. was the scene of another which is said
to have been an enjoyable affair by these
who participated therein. Another will also
ozcur this week.
The real estate belonging to the late Rhoda
Smith was disposed of at auction on Friday
last. Mr. Chas. Knapp was the successful
bidder. _
About one’year ago Mr. Henry G. Mid-
dlebrc-ok cut down and drew away 'what
wood grew on a small island situated in his
mill-pond which be supposed he had a right
to do. Mr. James S. Davenport, however,
who owns an adjacent piece of property
questioned the right and brought suit for
trespass and damages. Before a (incision
was rendered by the local justice the matter
was transfercd to a higher court. On Friday
last while Mr. Middlebrook, in company with
Engineer Rider, was engaged in making a
survey of the property in dispute he ventured
on the premises of Mr. Davenport, who soon
appeared on the scene and ordered him off.
Mr. Middlebrook proceeded to comply but
his rate of motion not being satisfactory, Mr
Davenport decided to acelerate it by an ap
plication of shoe leather. Mr. Middlebrook
now proposes to bring a suit for assault and
battery. .
Mr. Abijah Betts an aged and well known
resident of Wilton died suddenly on Thanks-
giving evening. Mr. Betts was a. native and
life long resident of Wilton and the oldest
business man in town. During the fearlier
portion of his life Mr. Betts t00k much in-
terest in the affairs of his native town, and
represented this place in the Legislature bu his
usefulness has of late been much impaired by
illness and during the latter portion of his
life be confined himself to his business. Mr.
B. wasiarfihonest, upright‘business man and
his loss wilkbe felt by his fellow-townsmen.

lilDGEFIELD.
Thermometer only 10 above zero Sunday
morning. '
The long “s '1. of weather” ended Thurs-
day night, wit“. .1 snow squall that left the
ground quite white.
Thanksgiving was 'made unpleasant by a
drizzling rain. A good many natives of the
town made homes happy by their presence.
All of the churches were open for religious
services, but attracted only a few worship-
pers.
The children of Jonathan Rockwell made
the day doubly commemorative by celebrat-
ing his eighty-third birthday, ‘which occurred
Nov. 27th. He bears his years lightly, and
moves with an case that might'wcll be the
, envy of a much younger man.
Ridgefield was astonished last Wednesday
by the occurrence of two weddings. Mr.
Wm. J. Smith was married to Miss Carrie E,
Hoyt, and Mr. Elisha Brown of Cross River,
N. Y., to Miss Phebe Smith.

Baxter has given his printing press a coat
of blue and gold. The GAZETTE would not
recognize it as an old acquaintance.
Mr. E. H. Smith has resigned his position
as Director of the Agricultural Society.
This step is a surprise to many, and will be a
great loss to the Society, for much of the past
success has been the result of his' untiring
efforts.

the winter, this week. .

and in the evening the boys made night
hideous with a skimmington in their honor.
We hope this barbarism has ceased outside of
this town, and that it will be abolished here
in good time.
We came near having a horse thieving ex-
citement here a week ago. A couple of boon
companions, carrying an indefinite amount of
fermented apple juice stopped at Nash &
Mead’s store. The owuer of the team stepped
in, and directed the other fellow to take care
of his horse. As it was raining,he drove
the horse home and put it in his barn. The
owner, finding his horse gone, went for the
Grand Juror, obtained a writ, and started
constable Hurlbutt to arrest the thief. The
constable found his man, but learning the
facts, declined to servcihe writ, and returned
home disgusted with the business.

WESTI’ORT.
Saturday, Sheriff elect Sanford arrested
Mrs. G. V. Alden on a judgment for non
payment of costs amounting to $1,800,-gr0w-
ing out of a suit instituted by Mrs. Alden to
eject Mrs. Harriet A. Tr‘ubee from the prem-
ises known as “Compo.” The transaction
had nothing to do with the late “affair at
Compo" with which Detective Hugh Mas-
terson, of New York, was connected.
» Mrs. D. M. Marvin served up at her table
Thanksgiving day, a turkey weighing 24
pounds. It was unquestionably the largest
bird of the kind carved in town that day,
and children and grandchildren spent the
dinner hour pleasantly, striving but in vain
to get away with one side of it.
The public water problem could be better.
solved if Westport was a Borough. With
water introduced, village fires could be more
readily controlled, as our two engines, both'
in excellent order and to be kept so, would
not then as now, be largely dependent on
water from wells which is soon exhausted.
This feature alone commends the subject to
the favorable attention of village property
owners.
No snow yet, and if we can get along
without it till Christmas week, the balance
of the winter will seem short.
Surveys to ascertain how far water would
have to be brought to introduce it into West-
port, and the fall, were made last week under
the superintendance of some of our promi.
ncnt citizens, resulting in favor of Fineh’s
pond, distant three miles, and 4580 feet from
the village center, and about 120 feet above
high water mark. The quality of the water
is said to be good, and the supply never fail-
ing. ,
A slight fire occurred at the house of Mr.
J. E. Wheeler, at Saugatuck, while men were
adjusting a heating apparatus. It was extin-
guished without an alarm.
A fence for “Willow Brook” Cemetery. is

proved look of that locality. The Catholic
Cemetery has been handsomely laid out in
walks and avenues.‘ Surrounded bynnew

The‘ boys found ice thick enough to
skate on, Monday. For a period, it may be
gratifying to know, the thoughts of boys,
so far as the fastening of club skates are con-
cerned, will be turned towards their soles.
The widow of the late Dr. David S. Burr
Sr., (Mrs. Hannah E._._Burr.) died Sunday
Nov. 24th, at the'residencc of Mr. ,E. M.
Griffith, in the 72d, year of her age. The
funeral occured Wednesday, and the burial
Sunday in Bridgeport.
Judging by the arrivals Wednesday and
the departures'by trains Friday, there, was- - 5
a large number of persons among us to eat
Thanksgiving dinners. The sloppy condi-
tion of affairs out of doors kept everybody
near stoves, and taught them how to draw
enjoyment from seeming restraint. The
chill and dampness caused many a base
ballist to sorrow as one without hope till
after the opening of spring. ’ . «

the New Haven line, was destroyed by fire
at seventh street, New York. City, early

sum previous to the fire. The loss is said to
be about covered by insurance.
