WILTON.
’l‘wo parties, in which oysters and dancing
were the prominent features took place last
week. In one case the music and supper dc-
scrveda much larger attendance than they
had the good fortune to have.
The genial countenance of Mr. Charles M.
Betta was seen in town on Thursday last.

sented. .
The case of Davenport vs. Middlebrook ;is

Miss Mamie Seymour has been visiting
friends here. ,
It is said that there are three distinct
“Reading Circles" in town composed emolu-

thy’s" suggestions ?
The meeting of the Mission Band, on Fri-
day evening, at the residence of the Misses
Olmstead, waspronounced by those who at-
tended, a very enjoyable occasion. .
Those interested in some of the most im-
portant points of dispute between religion and
science, will find them treated in an attrac.

Rev. Mr. Northrop, of Georgetown, a
nephew, we understand, of Prof. Cyrus-
Northrop, of New Haven, “exchanged” with

truth that Christ, as the great Shepherd,leads
and cares for His people. “Nor WIL.”

The Lecture course has been a satisfactory
one, with one exception, and has paid all
expenses. '
The Fellowship meeting last Thursday,
was favored with a good day, and was con-

STAMFORD.
The Choral Union gave a concert last week
Monday night.
No such excitement has been known in
Stamford since the Militia were called out to
capture the Mackey boys, than on Monday
last, when the Temperance committee start-
led the community by making their first re-
port in the form of the arrest of the license
law. The committee had long been abused
for doing nothing, but it seems they had been
actually at work all ‘the time. They first
tried to get testimony against dealers, then
appealed to the men and women of Stamford
to come forward and give information on a
pledge of secrecy, but failed to obtain legal
evidence. Only one course remained to them
and this they adopted, the employment of
detectives. Three men from a New York
Society were engaged. They came to town,
hired a'housc, spent money liberally and in-
gratiated themselves into the fun of the boys
about town and the liquor dealers, were in-
vited into the mysteries of liquor selling and
kept diaries with full particulars, staying six
weeks. At the trial there was great excite-
ment, and fears were entertatned of riotous
proceedings. Extra officers were sworn in,
and preparations made to preserve the peace.
Finding the authorities prepared, the roughs
wisely abstained from criminal acts. The
case of Banks Morehouse, the new landlord
of the Union House, was first called. Sub-
mitting to a rigid cross-examination, each
one of the witnesses only excelled the other
in the clear and lucid explanation of every
point on which they were questioned with
a coolness and apparent indifference which
was truly marvelous, although such epithets
as “sneaks,” “spies,” “miserable-broken-down
mechanics,” "spotters," “liars,” “hell-
hounds," etc., were freely thrust in their
faces by the counsel for the defense. The
first trial occupied nearly three hours, and
the testimony was so overwhelming. that the
Justice, without *a moments hesitation, im.
posed a fine of $50. Mr. Morehouse appealed,
and gave bonds in $200 for his appearance at
the Supreme court of February. He was to
have a. hearing on three more counts later in
the week. John . Riordan, J r., was then
fined $50 and costs each, on three counts,
and put under bonds of $600. Isaac Fox was
then fined, although his place was not gener-
ally suspected. The landlord of the Stamford
House, Peter Fox waived examination.
On the platform,- and flanking the stage, ,
on either side, were some of the best men of
Stamford, who by their presence, gave as-
surance that they were not afraid to show
their hand in the support of law and order
James H. Olmnstead, Esq, States Attor—
ney, was associate counsel, and greatly helped
in prosecuting. There was no “uncertain
sound” about the position he took in favor of
the suppression of rum, and his presence and
counsel went far toward atoning for what
seemed a desertion of thercause, All that he
did on Monday was voluntary, and without
compensation of any kind, all of which is
greatly to his credit. Advocate.

On Sunday afternoon week. about two
o’clock, the watchman at Hull and Rodgers’

young man named John Lymer in the store,
with articles he had stolen from the cases.
A few days ago, Mrs. Jacob Fry, fell while

Last Monday morning Constable F. C.

soda crackers and a glass of water.

ment, was brought before J usticc Taylor
Tuesday, charged with obtaining property
from Capt. H. P. Burr, under false preten-
ses. The only witness examined, was the

ready known. Dccisiou was rendered Fri-
day, when the accused was bound over for
trial to the Supreme Court, Mr. E. A. Hale
of New Haven becoming liisbondsmau in the
sum of $500. Grand Juror H. W. Lyon
and L. N. Middlcbrook for the defendant.
The trial and decision each drew together
crowds of people. .
The silence of this column last week as to
important local events renders it proper to
allude to them briefly now. The death Jan.
10th of 'Mr. David M. Marvin, in’ the 76th
of his age, removes a life long citizen—one
who was of and for Westport. He will be
remembered as an enterprising and eminent-
l y practical man, a kind neighbor, true friend.
On the same day, very suddenly, Mrs.
Charles H. Fairchild in her 45th year. She
was a lady of great personal worth, and
highly esteemed socially.
Jan. 11. Mrs. Maria Gregory, in the 75th
year of her age. There are scores of people
here and elsewhere who have long since
reached mature years, who remember, how
kindly the deceased ministerud to their
wants in the domestic circle. In the hearts
of these, memory has built monuments to
perpetuate her many virturcs and which can
never decay.
The cause which led to the late Alden-
Randolph—Willard "fight, centre, it is said,
was a spoon with which Mrs. R. was scraping
out a cook pot. Randolph and Williard were
“keeping house," occupying what was sup-
posed tolbc Mrs. Aldcn's apartments which
were further supposed to be furnished, and
Mrs. Alden was boarding with them. Mrs.
A. saw Mrs. R. scraping the pot and expos.
lulatcd with her for using a silver spoon.
Mrs. R. denied that it was silver and at—
tempted to excuse her act by declaring the
spoon plated, and none too good for- the pur-
pose to which she was placingit.‘ This made
MrsrArmadl The idea of a high minded
lady even thinking that spoons of hers could
be anything but solid metal? Did they take
her for a common scrub? She’d teach them
better manners! There-upon audacious
Thomas, she went for the presumptious Ran-
dolph, tearing her hair, scratching her face
and blackening her .eye as heretofore des-
cribed. The “uncommon anxiety” manifest—
ted by many to know the reasons for Mrs.
A’s rash act, will, it is hoped, be relieved by
the above narration.
At the 45th Anniversary, of the Saugatuck
Congregational Church Sunday School, Jan.

Mr. Francis Elwood a respectable citizen
residing on Golden Hill, alleges that he was
attacked by rough town boys one night last

in answer to their demands, he paid them the
sum of 50 cents to insure himself against
further molestation. Mr. E. says he knows
every one of the boys, and shall enter a com-
plaint to the grand jury against them.
In the case of Henry Ripp, against Frank
Christ for assault, tried before Justice Taylor,
Friday, a laughable incident took place.
Thoughtlessly and with no intention to con-
vey an improper impression, counsel, during
Ripp’s cross-examination asked him how
long he had known Christ? Ripp replied
that his acquaintance covered quite a period,
and that it was not much to his credit, or
words to that effect. C. was fined $2.00 and
costs.
The beauties of the game of billiards were
illustrated at the village Hotel Tuesday night,

A large audience assembled at Trinity
Chapel, Sunday afternoon to attend the ser-
vices which, as announced, werein the Ger-
man languagc. A representative of the mis-
sionary association in New York was present
and conducted the services, aided by D.
Spencer, and was listened to with evident
relish to the last. ‘ A German choir led the
singing. We learn that a similar service is
to be held on the third sabbath of every
month.
The Stamford Herald murmurs at the
amount of costs which the town has to pay
for sending prisoners to Bridgeport Jail.
Inquiry’s might be made on this subject on
behalf of the town of Norwalk, and also,
when fines are paid after committment, into
what treasury dothey go, or are they looked
after as they should be.
The following report was unavoidably
crowded out last week :—-The announcement
of the Sabbath School concert at the Congre-
gational church, drew a large congregation
on Sunday evening 13th, to be pleased and
profited by what they saw and heard. After
the opening chorus a fervent prayer was
offered by the Superintendent IV. H. Benc-
diet, in which he implored that the motto
“Happy New Year” might be adopted and a
true one for many of the flock happy in com-
mencing to love the Saviour, and if called
away ere the close of the year, that they
might be found prepared to go and be with
him in Heaven. The chorus “I give my life
for Thee” was sung and the pastor read and
explained the 90th Psalm—saying in conclu-
sion let us learn the lesson of God’s Eternity.
Mr. Dutton who had taken the place of Mr.
Louis Nash, then announced the subject of
the concert to be "Happy'Ncw Year,” indi-
cated by the beautiful motto over the desk,
and on asking the question "Who are the
Happy P” a response came from Mrs. Dr.
Pardce’s and Miss Dunbar’s class reading
alternately appropriate verses. This was fol-
lowed by the singing of a semi chorus, by 12
misses in answer to questions asked them by
Miss W innic Nash, as she stood in the back
aisle, closing in the beautiful rendering of a
chant. Six girls recited verses on the subject,
“Days, Weeks and Years," each verse ending
with “New Years Day.”
Mr. Dutton read a list of new things—com-
mencing with "A new Nature,” responded to
by Mrs. Sword’s class, “A new Heart,” res-
ponded by Mrs. Russells class, “A new
Name,” Mr. Blake's class answered in res-
ponse, and to “A new Song," and “A new
Home.” Mr. Hutchings and Miss Bencdicts
class responded. This was followed by a
recitation, plain and distinct, by Miss Mamie
Fitch, was truly good. Misses Gracie Haul-
enbeck and Blanche Whitman sang a duet,
entitled “In thy tender arms.”
To the question what good resolutions did
the Children of Israel make—the infant class
responded, and to the question “Why is it
important to do so," answers were given by
Rev. Mr. Platt, F. H. Nash, and Robert
Watkins. To the question “What should be
our Motto” the answer of Dr. Burk was,
“This one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, I press toward
the mark for the prize, of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus. The reading of the
146 Psalm in concert, and reading by Mrs.
Dr. Burke followed, when the Pastor madea
short, appropriate and to some of the scholars
amusing address, while telling them in what-
liap‘pincss consisted. The drunken man
thinks he is happy, to be as happy as a clam,
is mind happiness. Outside happiness comes
by having new clothes. Song, music, the
sight of beautiful things in nature, makes
happiness by what we hear and see. But the
best word for happiness is the scripture and
“Blessed" and is expressed also by joy, hope,
love. He would change the motto and say
to them all a “Blessed New Year." Mr.
Thomas Pennell sang a solo during the even-
ing. The committee announce for the next
concert Chas. St. John, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson
Dicker-man and Miss Annie Selleck. A large
number from the churches, and Mr. Hay-
ward and friends fiom the Borough were
present at these exercises.

Why not give those lawyers who are or-

there is conspiracy on the part of supporters

other side.
The Home Sociable, last week, at South
Norwalk, was held on Tuesday evening. The

What action will the present legislature

Senator Eaton on the silver swindlc:—“We
have in the state of Connecticut $50,000,000
in sav ngs banks secured by government
bonds. In the little city of Hartford, with
a population of 50,000 people, we have per-
manently leaned in the west $200,000,000.
No city in the United States has larger per-
manent loans in the west than Hartford. We
do not desire to receive 92 cents on the doll
lar in payment of these loans. Last month
a manufacturer in Connecticut. whose pay
roll is $40,000 per month, vent to New York
and bought enough silver dollars at 95 cents
apiece to pay off his men. Some of his best
workmen received as high as $400 per
month. When he handed one of those men
his month’s salary, he exclaimed : ‘Good God,
Major, I shall have to hire a jackass to cart
this money home. Don’t give us any more
of it.’ That is just it—jackasses to make the
money, and jackasscs to cart it home.”

this place, was one of the passengers, and at
first it was thought that both of his legs were
broken and that he was otherwise seriously
injured. Later, however, it was announced
that his legs were seriously crushed but that
no bones were broken. He has written a
letter to a friend in town who has permitted
us to copy the f llowing extract :—
“The faclsarc the right limb was twisted
out of the knee joint, all of the cords and
ligaments on one side being severed; the
same occurred to the left ankle; the left arm
and side is severely burned with fire and
steam, but not deep enough to make certain
internaliujuries; Isuffn‘ greatly,but expect to
get off with crippled limbs and disfigured
side.”

WHAT IS AGGOMPLISHED BY
VEGETINE. -
Vn'oxrrsn will renew the blood. give tone tojthe
stomach. restore the liver to its proper action,
stimulate the kidneys so as to enable them to per-
form the functions devolving upon them, carry off
the putild humors, regulate the bowels and re-
store the whole system to working order. Thisis
precisely what VEGETINE does, and this is the ex-
act way through which it has accomplished so
many wonderful cures, as may be seen by the fol—
lowing unquestionable evidencc :
A Husband’s Statement of the
Great Suffering of Eiis Wife.
Hanwrcn, Mass . Sept. 24,1875.
Mn. 11. It. S’rnvnxs .—
Dcur Sin—I feel it my duty to say a word in
praise of VEGETINE. My wife has been troubled
with a bad humor for several years, which she
inherited from her parents. We have tried sever-
al physicians and a great many different kinds of
medicine with but little benefit. She‘was so
emaciated that we had almost dcspnircd of her
over being any better. Hearing of the VEGETINE
we resolved to try once more. and she commenced
using it last March, and has been improvmg in
health ever since. From 101 pounds she has ad—
vanced to 135 pounds, having gained 31 pounds in
seven months, and is now able to be about her
work. In short, she believes that VEGETINE has
been the means of saving her life, and that she
cannot say too much in its praise. If it pleases
you to make use of this statement you are at lib-
erty to do so. She has taken fifteen bottles and is
still using it, and I can safely recommend it as a
great blood purifier. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH L. BUTLER.

Wear Sir,— I feel I must say a few words about
the VEGETINE. The physicians said I had so
many complaints they did not know what to give
me. They said I had a bad humor and 1 had the
kidney complaint, the liver complaint, my heart
was very weak, and I don’t think there is any one
who suffered more with the piles than I did. The
physicmiis all said it was no use ‘
_ _ _ for me to take
medicine, I couldnotllvo through the month of"
llay. I truly think the VEGETINE has saved my
life, and m: neighbors say that the VEGETINE has
really accomplished a wonderful cure in my case
and tell everyone whom I meet it is the best
medicine in the world.
I ours, very thankfully, MRS. J. L. BUTLER.

Ucar Sin-I will most cheerfully add in testimo-
ny to the great number you have alreli y receiv-
ed in favor of your greataud good medicine, VEG‘
urine, for I do not think enough can be said in
its praise, for lavas troubled over 30 years with
that dreadlul disease, Catarrh, and had such bad
coughing spells that it would seem as though I
could never breathe any more,aud VECETINE has
cured me. and I do feel to thank God all the time
that there 18.80 good a medicine as VEGETINE,
and I also think it one of the best medicines for
coughs and weak-sinking feelings at the stomach
and adv1se everybody to take the VEGETINE, for
I can assure them itis one of the best medicines
that ever was. MRS. L. G-iRE,
