The annual meeting of the Mechanics Li-
brary Association was held at the School.
House on Monday evening 17th inst. The
reports of the Treasurer and Librarian were
interesting as evidences of the continued
existence and progress of the institution. The
number of velumes in the Libral‘yis reported
at. 976, (this does not include some over a
hundred volumes not accessable to the mem-
bers,) a slight increase over tlicnumber report-
ed last year. There has been a heavy decrease
in membership attributable to the cessation
in one of our mnnnfactories during the past
summer. The name of A. II. Byington, Esq.,
is the only one upon the donor’s list of 1877.
The meeting voted to purchase a supply of
new books. The following Officers were

led in prayer. The latter gentlemen, for
twentyntwo years the beloved pastor of the
church conducted the conference meeting in
the afternoon. The topic suggested for con.
sideration was “Prayer as a means of reviv-
ing the church” and it was ably discussed by
dcacons, pastors and friends of Christ. A
fine spirit prevailed and it is the united wish
and prayer of all that an influence for much

Excitement in Stamford.
~ Liquor troubles have greatley disturbed the
peace of the pleasant town of Stamford,Conn.,
recently. Under a “Ideal opton” law, the
town decided against liquor selling, but the
trafiic went on in secret. People were seen
drunk in the streets, although the mildest
drink could not be obtained openly. Every
means was advised to discover the guilty
persons, but in vain. At length some Of the
best citizens Of-the place—about six hundred
of whom do business in New York—formed
a committee sécretly and raised $10,000 to be
spent in ferriting out and punishing all vic-
lations of the law- The matter was placed
in the hands of the Society for the Preven-
tiop of Crime, in this city, and detectives
were sent to Stamford. The greatest caution
was necessary. So intense is the hatred of
the anti-temperance people toward their op-
ponents that the lives of any who should
move openly in the search for evidence were
threatened. - . .
The detectives began work six weeks ago.
They hired houses and began housekeeping,
talked of buying a farm, and gradually estab-
lished the reputation of being harmless peo-
ple. In time they collected all the evidence
necessary for their purpose. Liquor was sold
with the most thorough precautions against
detection. Guileless looking tobacco stores
and barber shops were found to be the en-
trances to concealed bars. In the rear of the
shops were generally two dooi's. ‘ One of
them would open only to the initiated, who
knew how to press the handle or to turn the
knob. One door being passed, at the end of
a hall-way the lover Of ardent spirits was con-
fronted by another door which —yielded only
to a certain “sesame.” At the head of a nar-
row stairway, still another door was to be
opened. Beyond was all the liquor desired.
The detectives collected their evidence,
and consulted with the District-Attorney and
the Judges. Complaints and warrants were
prepared. On Saturday six warrants were
served, and within twenty-four hours, six-
teen in all will have been executed. The
greatest excitement prevails in the town.
ome of the persons arrested are politicians
of influence. The lives of the detectives
of
haste. This morning they will return to
Stamford, to testify as witnesses. It is
feared by some that a riot may occur, and
the court-room will be guarded. It
thought that ice evidence is perfect, and that
conviction must be the result.
The prisoners, on ccnviction on the first
complaint, will be fined $100. Immediately
a second complaint will be preferred, and
$100 will be the fine for a second conviction.
The dealer will then be arrested immediately
on a third complaint, and the result of a
third conviction will be $100'fine and im-
prisonment for thirty days. His case will
then be considered disposed of for one
month. It is intended to treat each person
arrested in this way, and the temperance peo-
ple are determined to spare no expense or
labor to enforce the law. They do not act
openly, however, but through New York
detectivts and the officers of the law.

' Mama. Editors :—There is a good deal of
indignation felthei-e by many, of the cowardly
and unworthy action of the sclectmen, of Da-
rien, in recommending several parties as prop-
er persons for license to sell liquor.
Thisaction was taken, we learn, on their
own responsibility againstadvice, so now if
any of the thirsty souls of Norwalk or Stam-
ford find it difficult to slake their thirst at
home, let them come hither, where they will
find their old friends with open doors ready
to receive them—while the old inhabitant
will be served by old residents familiar with
the business. How the Fathers knew of the
suitability or fitness of those coming from out
of town, I suppose they can explain. With
regard to the native talent, there is no mys-
tery about it. Should not he who has served
faithfully on the State Committee for naught
(f) be promoted? Is this not all in accord;
ance with civil service reform ?
Would it not be well for the people of
your place, who find it difficult to obtain the
maessan'ea of life, ‘(without- exposing “1059

locate permanently?

GILBERT nlnnsltm.
had four indictments against him for selling
liquor and one for keeping a house in which—
it was reputed that liquor was sold. Against
ankLns scorr
there were two indictments for selling liquor
and one for keeping a house in which it was
reputed that liquor was sold. All the accus-
ed pnrties were brought. before Justice F. M.
Bliss, and then gave bonds to appear before
him atthe' time fixed in the bond.
The temperance people procureda detec-
tive, through Mr. Anthony Comstoek. The
detective with his witness, came up here, as
he pretended, on a hunting expedition;engag-
edpoard at the hotel and employed Leopold
Brown tO hunt up the game’ for him, the
boys having considerable sport over the city
hunters, who could not hit the broadside of
a barn. As to their ability as trappers they
appear to haVe been more expert. '
Louis Schultz was tried on Wednesday and
found guilty on two indictments for selling;
fined $50 on each with costs, also for keeping
a place wherein it was reputed that liquor was
sold, and fined $20 and costs. the whole
amounting to about $220. Schultz appealed. ,
On Thursday morning Mr. Gilbert Birdsall
plead guilty to selling liquor, was fined $50,
and agreed to pay costs. including the other
writs, also that he would not sell any liquor
or allow it to be sold on his place while the
present liquor law is in force, on condition
that the liquor seized, some $1,000 or $1,500
worth, should be restored to him and further
prosecution of the remaining indictments be
discontinued. .
Immediatel after Mr. Birdsall’s case was
disposed Of, has. Scott, was brought before
Justice Bliss on the charge above referred to,
Mr. Scofield, of Stamford, prosecuting agent
for the state, Mr. Barbour, of Norwalk, for
the defendant. “Scott plead “not guilty,”and
the case was proceeded with. Various wit-
nesses were examined, but the principal one
was Joseph A. Britten, the detective, Mr.
Barbour evidently wishing to entrap him into
some statement which might be used against
him on some future occasion. The case was
continued on Thursday until about 4;30, p. in.
when the court adjourned until Wednesday
next, at ten o’clock. Good order was main-
tained untill after the court adjourned, when
officer 08 produced writs for the arrest of
detective Britton, charging'llim with conspi-
racy, and also for driving a horse further than
he agreed to. At this time a scene occurred
which beggars description. It was time to
go in order to take the train. Prosecuting
Attorney Scofield vociferated loudly, claim-
ing that the witness was under the roteetion
of the court, Attorney Barbour as oudly de-
claring that the arrest was perfectly legal.
The prisoner was fineally —taken before
Justice Lambert and gave bonds ($150) for
appearance lit-court on Wednesday next.

What Rum Costs,’
Judge Groo, _of Orange county, 'N. Y r
A. P. Ely’s carpenter shop was destroyed-
wcrc home during the holidays, visiting his.
speaking before the American Temperance
Union, in the Cooper Institute, said that Dr.
Young, of the Bureau of Statistics, estimated
that $600,000,000 was spent annually in the
production and consumption of intoxicating
liquor, whilp Dr. Henglnan, a careful writer,
puts it at $65,000,000 in 1872. There is de-
stroyed annually in this country, 40,000.000
bushels of rain, or a bushel for every man,
.woman, an child in the land. In addition
tothis loss, the people were called on to sup-
port the paupers and criminals created by the
consumption of liquor. If the liquor trafllc
could be stopped, in one year, money enough
might be saved to pay the National debt. The
costly government of the .city of New York is
owing to the liquor traffic. There would be no
need of five police justices and 1500 police
officers. he said, if it were not for the rum-
shops and the criminals made by them.

Warden Monisox-Mldmsscd the Board as
follows :—
GENTLEMEN :— ' .
In taking the position of presiding ofllcer
Of this Board, I feel that it will be excusable
if I should make a few remarks, and also
call your attention to a few matters which I
think would result to the public good.
The position which I shall take if called
upon by any tic vote of the members of this
'board will not be a party one, as, I have al-
ways felt and advocated that business con-
nected with our local matters should never
be confined to any one party but carried out
simply with thcidea, of the best man for the
best place, that capability not politics should
rule in our local matters
While giving all credit to the former Board
for the economy practiced in the administra~
tion Of Borough businessfor the year 1877.
I cannot but think that. if a large amount of
work had been put upon the highways, par-
ticularly West Avenue, it would not have
been objectionable, and also amore frequent
cleanin and purifying of the streets and gut-
ters of ain, Wall and Water street in the
business portion of the Borough.
I think also that in the matter of Police an
improvement can be made by employing three
policemen in place of two, as at present, and
confining their duties to localities, in place of
centering them around the Bridge.
In the. Fire Department as an auxiliary, to
the present effective force, I would recfom-
mend that 2 or 3. lengths of hose fitted to
Borough hydrants together with hydrant
wrench, be placed in the care of some respon-
sible person on the outer limits of the Borough.
Said hose to be under direction of the Eu i-
neer of Fire Department and to be used onfiy
for fire purposes until the arrival of the De-
partment at the fire.

ing as follows. -
