As everybody is talking about the weather,
‘ which indeed has been remarkably fine for

Mr. W. Peck of Brooklyn, and Miss M. E.
Morehouse were Tuesday united in matrimo-
ny, Rev. John R. Williams officiating, at the
residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Frederick
Morehouse. The immediate relatives and
friends of the contracting parties only, were
present. An informal reception followed the
marriage, when the happy pair set out upon
their wedding tour. The bride received
numerous and costly presents.
The kidnapping story as told by us which
appeared simultaneously in the GAZETTE and
New York Herald, of Tuesday last, was
based on the statements of the abducted
party herself,~—Miss Fannie Burt. All the
circumstances at that time considered, the
parents statement as well, it was reasonable
to believe Miss Burt. The writer had
credulity enough to believe, and hence the
tale which filled Westport with surprise and
amazement and led outside people far and
near to ask what sort of barbarians had come.
to plague the folks in this good old town.
Curiosity to know more of the affair than
had been written arose, and presently there
was an excited state of things everywhere.
Reporters by the dozen came to Westport,
called on Miss Burt and went away to elabo-
rate the tale they had to tell. 0'10 New
York Sun man printed a column of facts (?)
corroborating what we had said. Every
new thing bearipg on the case was seized
with eagerness. Ere long doubts arose as to
the truth of the story, emanating principally
from those journals which wanted, but did
not get the first hack at the precious morsel
for printing. TEL-lanai: of tho Dunner: finally, .
and enemies of the Burts stood up _to ques-
tion the young lady’s truthfulness, and it did
not take long to find an army of those who
would not believe a human being, maltreated
as this one had been, could travel on foot
during four days and nights without eating,
drinking or sleeping. Miss Burt says she
did, and sticks to it, so what is to be done
about it. Among the present doubters is a
village justice who, at the outset was so im.
pressed with the story of the dastardly out-
rage, that he and a constable were going right
off to seek the place in New Britain where
Miss Burt’s villainous seducers were hidden.
He didn't go, but if the story was true then
and is not true now, why did this justice the
same day the GAZETTE came out reprimand
us for giving publicity to the facts, which as
he then believed, warned the chaps up in
New Britain to make good their escape. If
there hadn’t been an outrage, why fear to
speak of it. Many declare there is a “screw
loose” somewhere. Perhaps there is, but
will they explain it? What will they do
with the man in West Stratford who states
that he saw near his place during the time
Miss Burt was “on the road” a person
answering her description, and is positive it
was Miss Burt. And now report has it that
Miss Burt is backing down from her original
story; that she cut her hair off and not the
villains; that she had been wearing the pants
and other male attire belonging to her father
for some time previous to her disappearance.
Indeed, that she has not been away from her
father‘s house, at all, and this story was con-
cocted to cover some previous recent indis-
crcstion. Sorry, very sorry to hear this, for,
after all that has been said, it will be too bad
to be compelled to acknowledge that there
has really been no kidnapping—no outrage.
So far as we are concerned there was but one
motive in our conduct, viz : to give the facts
of a crime the like of which was never before
perpetrated here. If the authors of the
story have been falsifying, and through us
the public have been gulled, and we as the
narrator have becotne a sort of gull, when
the actual facts of the case are known the
last state of those falsifiers will be infinitely
worse than‘thc first. PAUL.

A most beautiful and balmy spring-like
,winter Sabbath ushered in the beginning of
another week, the last but one, of the present

' There was no service in the Episcopal

The committee, in whose » hands were
placed the fifteen articles on the tramp ques-
tion, written in competition for prizes offered
by Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, report that
only one of the articles is sufficiently practical
or possesses sufficient merit to meet the condi-
tions of the offer or to warrant the conferring
of a prize. This article was written byNoah
W. Hoyt, Esq. , of New Canaan, and that
gentleman therefore takes the first prize.
The order in which the other articles come
in have not been determined, butthc commit-
