There is one case of scarlet fever in the
Center District which has led to the suspen-
sion of the school for a week or two.

trict was dedicated last Saturday with appro-
priate exercises. In the evening, the Band

Much pleasure is anticipated in the lecture
by Wallace Bruce next :l’ednesday evening,
Dec. 12. His subject, “Washington Irving,”
should be enough to call out a full house, but

ishes and missions in this County, in addition
to $1,400 called for by the Bishop and Cen-
tral Board for such work in other parts of the
State which are less able to provide for

Miss Nettie Pinneo eldest daughter of
Dr. S. T. Pinneo, was married to Dr. James
Glynn Gregory of Norwalk, on Wednesday,
Dec. 5th, by the Rev. Charles R. Treat, at
the Second Congregational Church. Mr. A.
S. Gibson, of Norwalk, presided at the organ.
Soon alter three o’clock the bridal coz-c’ege en-
tered, preceded by four ushers. The party
moved slowly up the aisle while the organ-
ist played a wedding march. Mrs. Pinneo
was escorted by the groom, and the bride
leaned on the arm of her father. On reach-
ing the pulpit rails they were met by the
officiating clergymen, who performed the
ceremony. The bride wore a white satin
dress, out a laprz‘ncesse , and looped up with
orange blossoms. A long white tulle veil,
surmounted with orange blossoms, fell back
gracefully delow her waist. In her hand she
carried a large bouquet of flowers. The
church was decorated with flowers and plants,
and notwithstanding the storm, was well
filled with invited guests with evening cos-
_.ume. Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was held at the residence of the
bride’s father. The presents were numerous
and very valuable. The wedding cake was
made by the bride herself. The dresses of
the ladies present at the reception were
supurh. Among the guests were the follow-
ing persons: Mr. and Mrs. J. Hammond
Trumbull of Hartford, Wm. C. Prime, the

venture um‘estraincd upon it with their
skates. Last year’s overcoats have been for
a few days, as servicablc as reliable old
friends. The men made most happy by the
cold, are the meat dealers who are enabled to
keep good steaks without fear of having
them spoil, and dry goods people who have
unexpected demands for their commodities.
The latest suggestion in regard to water
for the village is, that it be pumped into a
reservoir to be located somewhere near
Spring hill from Thos. R. Lees’ pond.
Water thus raised would have a level above
the village houses of nearly 150 feet. Mr.
Rider, civil engineer, of Norwalk, has been
estimating on the expense of introducing the
water, and decides that it will cost less than
$30,000. It is believed a stock company will
crc long be organized.
Christmas will be here just two weeks
from to-day. In view of its arrival and
proper celebration, church choirs are busy
among crotchets and quavers, and decorating
committees are studying unique ways and
means for the display of evergreens.
Our friend Douglass of the War Depart-
ment, Washington, D. C., was in town last
week, looking as bright and smiling as if
there was to be no hereafter for the enemies
of President Haycs’ policy of civil service
reform.
Mr. James Hawkes, our enterprising
village saddler, has purchased a lot and will
erect a fine dwelling upon it. Thus, slowly
‘but surely, does the count go on which is
likely to show a hundred holises built in
Westport within three years from January
1st, 1876.
Mr. Stephen B. Wakeman took the trouble
in 1876, to send samples of the choice varie-
ties of onions lie is in the habit of growing,
to the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia‘
and last week he received his reward in the
shape of a bronze medal from the Centennial
Commission.
The aggregate weight of three hogs killed
last week by the proprietors of the village
hotel was 1,191 pounds.
Mr. Gee. *cllifie will prepare for the black
fish season of 1878 by extending the bearings
of his sloop-rigged sharpie, the “Socdolager,”
(so named for the reason that a six pound
black fish was last June pulled over her side)
and by otherwise improving outlines and
rigging.
The fact that the planet Venus may be
seen in the day time has attracted the atten-
tion of many towards that celestial lumniary
of late. Saturday evening the interest in-
creased whtzw it was observed that the star
was drawing nigh the moon, and especially
after what the papers had printed concerning
Venus’ occultation. As the star drew nearer
the moon’s disk, and finally its rays were
obscured but to reappear later in all their
brilliancy, the sight was one worthy to be
remembered. An observer thus describes
the occultation.
“The heavens were unusually clear, with
the exception of a few clouds lying low upon
the horizon which now and then obscured
the view for a moment. Even early in the
afternoon both planets were visible and
knots of people could be seen on the streets
watching them. With the approach of even
ing the brilliancy of the two planets was
greatly increased and even to the unaided
eye the sight was beautiful to behold, and
reminded one of the Crescent and Star of the
Turks, so near did they assume the positions
of those as relatively placed upon the National
flag of Turkey. As seen through the tele_
scope the effect was magnificent. Venus
presented the form of a half moon and
shone brightly, while the new moon was in
the most favorable position to show her
“ragged edge.” Her dark portion was
plainly visible, and many of the large craters
among the peaks of her mountain chains
could be traced. Altogether it was one of
the most interesting sights permitted the
student of the heavens.” On clear days till
nearly February 1st, Venus may be scen by
the unaided eye while the sun is shining, but
a performance like that of Saturday night
between Venus and our own sattellite will
not occur again for the space of 80 years.
Considerable excitement prevails here re-
specting the Kidnapping of Fannie Burt, 17
years of age, the daughter of Mr. Charles
Burt. Her story of the affair is as follows.
On Friday November 30 two men in a car-
riage called at Burt’s house. Miss Burt was
alone, her only company being an infant be-
longing to her sister. The men asked for a
drink of water, which she obtained. While
she was at the well the men slipped into the
house, and on her return with the water,
and while in the act of pouring it into a
tumbler, one of men seized and jammed a
cloth saturated with chloroform into her
mouth thus rendering her insensible. They
then torc ofi all her clothing, invested her
with a pair of her fathers trowsses, an over-
coat and hat, dragged her from the house,
threw her into the carriage and drove off.
She was in an unconscious state for several
hours and on coming to, found herself in a
house which she had never before seen,
where she remained four days. During that
time she-was brutally outraged repeatedly,
ill fed and not allowed to see anybody but
the men. On Tuesday of last week she con-
trived to leave the prision clad as described.
Wandering though fields and woods she
reached a railroad which she followed, as
she thinks, about half a mile, when she came
to a depot over the door of which were the .
words New Britain. Without inquiring of
any sort she set out, not knowing whither,
she went for home, which she reached Sat-
urday night last, having been walking since
Tuesday day and night not stopping to eat,
drink or sleep. She was so weak from pri-
vations endured that Mr. Burt did not know
her. To morrow the girl with some of the
town authorities will go to New Britain in
hopes of finding some clue to the perpetra—
tors of this high handed outrage—PAUL.
BRIDGEPORT.
The house, barn and three acres of land
near Island Brook school house, formerly
owned by Mrs. Twitchel, has been sold to
C01. Speidel for $3,500.
The remains of two sisters, aged eight and
twelve years, daughters of Rev. P. P. Judd,
of Watertown, came down the Naugatuck
road Thursday morning and were sent to
Daubury on the Housatonic train for inter-
ment. They died of diphtheria, one Tuesday
mor‘ning and the other Wednesday evening.
Charles Sherwood, of Westport, was arrest-
ed Tuesday, on a warrant charging him with
obtaining teams from Edwin Peck, under
false pretences. He represented that his
mother owned the Frank Burritt place in
Westport, that his father left him by Will
$185,000, and that his mother was coming to
Bridgeport to live and would bring her coach
horses and board them at Mr. Peek’s stable.
Mr. H. Wakeman’s tailoring establishment
on Main street, was burglarized last Tuesday
night and robbed of about $1,000 worth of
goods and completed garments. The thieves
entered the store through a rear window,
probably by shoving the fastening one side
with a knife, and cleaned off about one~half
the counter on the north side, taking about
fifty pieces of overeoatings, suitings, braids.
silk and farmer satin linings, and several fin-
ished ovcrcoats and other garments.

Norwalk harbor, $15,000.
The New York Liquor Dealers Association
will soon have work enough to do at home if
things go on as Izl.cv have commenced, and
they will have a good excuse for not bolster-
ing up co-lsltry dealers. About 1200 arrests
of unlicensed 'Il‘l have so far been made
in the city, and prisoners are being brought
in by hundreds. There are said to be 5,000
unlicensed dealers in illt: city, and the Com-
missioners say they shall arrest all persons
caught violating the law.

THE BEsi— EVIDENCE.
The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, Pas-
tor of M. E. Church, Natick, Mass, will be read
with interest by many physicians; also those suf-
l‘ering from the same disease as alllicted the son
of the Rev. E. S. Best. No person can doubt this
testimony, as there in no doubt about the cura-
tive powers of VEGETINE.
NAricu, Mass., Jan. 1,1824.
Mn. II. STEVENS.
Dear Sin—We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means ofsav-
ing our son’s life. He is now seventeen years of
age. For the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his leg. caused by serolulous affection
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A council
or able physicians could give us but the faintest
hope of his ever rallying; two of the number dc-
claringr that he was beyond the reach of human
remedies, that even amputation could not save
him, as he had not vigor enough to endure the
operation. Just then we commenced giving him
VEGETINE, and from that time to the present he
has been continuously improving. He has lately
resumed his studies, thrown away his crutches
and cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lancctl. we have the
fullest confidence that in a little time he Will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG-
ETINE, but lately uses but little. as he declares
that he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours.
