The Sunday School concert which was
held Sunday evening 10th, was a success, as
might have been expected.

ASociable is to beheld this week at the

WILTON.

On Thursday last Mr. John Jackson had
the misfortune to sustain serious injury from
an accident. A large rock which he was
engaged in sinking fell upon him and broke
one of his legs. After a time he was extract-
ed from his painful and: angerous situation,
with no other serious injury than the break-
ing of one leg just above the ankle, which,
under the circumstances, seems a fortunate
escape. He is now doing well. ,

The wedding alluded to last week proved
to be a “tin” one. It took place on the
evening of the 13th inst, that being the tenth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs.
Middlebrook. A large number of neighbors
and friends were present, andleft a variety

of ornamental and useful articles of tin-ware,-

as mementos of the happy occasion. After
doing ample justice to the bountiful tables,
the company listened to the reading of' two
poems; one descriptive of the original wed-
ding, and the other referring to its “tin”
successor. The masterly handling of the
piano by Mr. Morris, of Danbury, afforded
muchj pleasure to those present.

There was a Ball and. Oyster Supper at
Reed‘s Hall, Cannon Station, on Tuesday
night, managed, it is said, by parties from
Georgetown. The attendance is reported as
fair, and would doubtless have been lar-
ger, had there not been other affairs of
the same kind in many of the neighboring
towns that evening. '

Invitations are out “to attend a benefit
surprise party to Mr. George Betts on the
50th inst.

Adecision has been rendered in favor of
the plaintiff in the Davenport--Middlebrook
lawsuit. - .

Valentine Day passed without imposing
much extra duty upon the post-master; some
whose nerves are poised with exquisite deli-
cacy may have receiveda shock from the
receipt of comic valentines, but no deaths are
reported.

The Dramaitc Entertainment in behalf of
the Wilton Division of the S. of T. is adver-
tised to come off on Mondayand Tuesday
evenings of this week, if stormy then the
first pleasant evenings thereafter. The di-
vision includes some good amateur talent,
and will have the aid of the Westport Band
in entertaining their audience. -

The next meeting of the Mission Ban
will be on Friday evening, Feb. 22d at the
residence of Mrs. Charles Betts. Nor-wiL

 

RIDGEFIELD.

The past week was more like spring than
winter. _ .

Mrs. Richard Studwell, of New York, died
at the house of her father, Solomon Brown,
last Saturday. ,

Miss Frances E. Gorham, sister-in-law of

H. K. Scott, died at his house last Sunday'

morning,after an illness of about two months.

This death is particularly sad, as she came
here on a visit to her friends, preparatory to
a separation extending over many years She
was intending to'go as a missionary to India
about January 1st, but sickness prevented,
and now to another must be assigned the
post to which she had consecrated herself.
Instead of the expected summons, she receiv-
ed a summons to a "home beyond the
hills.” _ .

Mr. Joel Benedict fell from the “high
beam" on to the floor'of his barn, last Thurs-
day, breaking a rib and injuring his spine.
The fall was some fourteen feet, yet he was
able to get up and walk to his house.

A son of Richard Higgins, of Florida, sc-
verely chastised a schoolmate, for which he
received a judicial sente nce to pay a fine of
two and a half dollars and costs, amounting
to the nice little sum of twenty-one and a
half dollars.

There seems to be a great inquiry for ap-
ples for market. Fruit has decayed badly.

Eli Perkins is expected to lecture at the

Solomon M. Lockwood has purchased
James B. Ells’ real estate, comprising two

GREENWICH.

Ray's Hall was crowded on Friday even-
ing, 8th, notwithstanding the storm. The
occasion was a literary and musical entertain-
ment for the benefit of the library, chiefly by
local talent. Mrs. Gregory, Miss Selleck and
Mr. Fred P. Bissell, of Norwalk, also par-
ticipated. An Advocate correspondent says:
Miss Sellcck, of Norwalk, rendered Schu-
man's “Hunting Solo,” a piano solo, in a de-
li htful manner, and was repeatedly encored.
“ ashing U. S. Marine's March" by Fred. P.
Bissell, was rendered in dashing style, and
when he appeared again with his hat and
coat carefully turned wrong side out, and
song “When Terry Joined the Gang,” the
small boys fairly yelled with delight, while
the older ones showed their appreciation by
applause and laughter. Miss Dot 8. Pinneo
read,with true dramattic talent, “Charlie Me
Crea.” This was Miss Pinneo’s first appear-
ance in public and we hope not the last. As
she advanced to the footlights exclaiming,
“Come over, come over!" and beckoned to
some imaginary person in the rear of the au-
dience, all eyes were turned in that direction.
We expected to see the bold Scot dashing
aside the waves with 'his muscular arms, so
great was the earnestness of her appeal. As
an encore Miss Pinneo treated the audience
with “Vas Bender Henspecked F” which pro-
voked much laughter.

Other performers were Rev. Mr. Treat, or-

anist Brush, Mrs. Pidgeon, Mrs. Betts,
Tire. Treat, Messrs. C. N. Mead, Pinnco,
Brooks, and Edward Brush.

 

BRIDGEPORT.

The Murphy temperance movement com
menced Saturday. Messrs. Robinson and
Murphy, Jr, commenced operations, and will
be followed by Mr. Murphy. The singing

A Frenchman up the Housatonic has dis-
covered perpetual motion, and now amen in
Bridgeport has about completed a flying ma-
chine—not of the Darius Green pattern, but
one which the Standard people seem to think
will prove a grand success. The machine is
a large black silk cylinder, 24 feet long and
12 feet'in diameter, holding 3,000 feet of hy-
drogen gas and a car. It is operated by fans,
and at a trial indoors it was raised and low-
cred and turned around at will. The editor of
the Scientific American is said to have ex-
pressed his belief that it is capable of making
a trip to the North Pole.

Special oflicers have again been detailed to

Tuesday last, Mr. Asias M. Bennett reach-
ed his 9lst birthday. An event so rare. was
made the occasiOn of a'pleasant social gather-
ing at the residence of Westport’s oldest citi—
zen, many of his neighbors and friends call-
ing to congratulate him. Mr. Bennett con-
tinues to enjoy the best of health, and while
the wisest cannot read the future, it is reason-
able to believe that he has good chances of
becoming acentenarian. Few are aware of
the fact that Mr. Bennett, did service for his
country during the war of 1812, and is justly
entitled to apension. _ ‘

Mr. George Jelliffe has been for some time
engaged at his studio, Poplar Plains, model-
ling in clay a- life size bust of Mr. Morris
Ketchum, and has succeeded in producing a
truthful likeness. The work is highly credit-
able to the artist for the reason that the coun-
tenance was taken from a pencil sketch, and
a couple of photographs of Mr. Ketchum,
Mr. Jellifi‘e has contracted for a block of
white marble, and will at once begin to
sculpture a copy of his handiwork.

Draw-tender Allen of the railroad bridge,

About 130 persons attended the first an-
nual ball given by Vigilant Engine 00. No.
3, Tuesday evening Feb. 12th, at National
Hall. The music by the Howe band of
Bridgeport, was greatly enjoyed particularly
the comet playing. The hall was decorated
with American flags by a committee who, if
the exercise of taste goes for anything, knew
their business. Supper was served by Harris,
the caterer and gave satisfaction. The re-
ceipts which were much over and above
expenses, will enable the engine company
to complete their new house. ' -

The funeral of Mr. Daniel Sherwood,
brother of Capt. Francis, Franklin and Fred-
erick Sherwood, who died Tuesday in his
84th year, took place from his late residence,
Thursday. The remains were buried in the
cemetery, Green’s Farms, near the church.

Messrs. Adams 8.: Cable have filled their
great ice house, the capacity of which is
about 1000 tons. The average thickness of
the ice was 8 inches.

The theme of Rev. A. N. Lewis, discourse

“Success in life,” A large congregation was
in attendance. -

Saugatuck people had the pleasure Sun-
day afternoon of listening to Mr. J. L. Har-
lem, of‘Norwalk in the role-of a temperance
lecturer.

There will be witnessed in Sturgcs' hall
next Thursday evening an old fashioned
dance, the dancers to be ladies and gentlemen
desirious of reviving something of the spirit
which characterized dances years ago at the
village hotel when Hez. Nichols was in his
glory and one Hez. Buckley scraped the
fiddle with his bow. An indispensiblc ad-
j unct of such a duties will be Mr. Walker
Bank’s fiddle. played by himself. It is un-
derstood that each lady attending will bring
her own cake and wine.

The death, Thursday, of Mr. Charles Wer-
nor, in the 69th year of his age, was an event
not unexpected. It removes from the com-
munity a man whom all loved and respected;
one, who during a residence of nearly 20
years‘ had made it apparent that affability,
courtesy, and that condition of the mind and
heart which prompts a pleasant word to all
times for everybody, are virtures' which too
few among us claiming high social standing
do not possess. A Gentleman by instinct
and a scholar by attainment, he leaves an
example worthy of emulation. Mr. Werner
was born in Prussia in 1809, graduated at the
University of Berlin, and reached this coun-
try at the age of ' 25. He at once took a
position in the United States Coast Survey,
retaining it upward of 40 years. He became
'a member of the Congregational church, also
of Temple Lodge No. 05. F. 8.7 A. M,, in
both of which his usefulness was ever ex-
erted for good. In mathematics he was
great and his love of music displayed the
genial soul. A native German, he yet be-
came master of the language of the country
of his adoption, and could command and
adapt its words and phrases to a marvelous
degree. If a general wish could be granted,
his ashes would rest here, but, it is otherwise
ordered, and after sepnlture in New Haven
whence the remains will be taken this (Mon-
dey) morning, the grass will grow as green
above him, and memory of his many vir-
turcs will he kept as fresh as if he slept his
last sleep near the village he had learned to
love so well. The funeral was solemnized'
from the Congregational church Sunday
afternoon, Rev. Dr. Sanderson ofiiciating, a
large number of mourners and friends being
in attendance PAUL.

The special meetings for the revival of re-
ligion in the M. E. church during four days
of last week were well attended, and were
seasons of quiekening power. Rev. E. L.
Bray preached two excellent sermons on
Tuesday, Rev. A. B. Sanford on Wednesday,
and Rev. G. A. Hubbell, pastor of the M. E.
'church, rendered valuable aid on Thursday
and Friday. The meetings will be continued
this week—a religious service. on Tuesday
evening, promise meeting on Wednesday
afternoon, with preaching in the evening by
Rev. Mr. Relyea, of Green's Farms. The
Young People’s Lyceum will meet on Thurs-
day evening in the lecture room of the church.
and after some concert exercises and an es-
say, will discuss the question: “Which has
the Greater Moral Power in the World, the
Press or the Pulpit 'r" A conference meeting
will be held "in the same room on Friday
evening at 7:30 o’clock.

 

DANBURY.

For the week ending Feb. 9th, the ship-
ment of hats from Danbury amounted to
856 cases. Of boots and shoes the total was
113 cases.

.At the First church sociable, held at the
parsonage last Wednesday evening week, a
very pleasant surprise was given the pastor’s
wife. Her lady friends, without her knowl-
edge, had procured an elegant ice picture,
and after the work of the evening was over,
the festivities were begun with its presenta—
tion. The pitcher is in one of the prettiest
designs of the Meriden Britannia Company’s
works, being what is termed a “Tilting
Pitcher.” The salvar, above which it is sup-
ported, ls of frosted silver, with a gold lined
drinking cup at its font.

Last Tuesday burglars entered the res-
dcnce of Constable Franklin 0. Hoyt, on
Town Hill avenue, by forcing the dining
room window. Some solid silver spoons
bearing the initials “C. H." were secured and
then the burglars went up stairs to Mr.
Hoyt‘s sleeping room'and carried away his
pants. They took the pocket-book out and
rifled it of its contents, so far as they could
in their haste, but missed some money in an-
other compartment. Mr. Hoyt’s mother,
who sleeps ina room off from the dining
room, heard some one, and struck a match,
whiclli frightened them off. Their booty was

ROWAYTON.

The entertainment given for the benefit of
the Baptist church, at Rowayton, was a com-
plete success. The church being somewhat
embarrassed financially, the faithful members
assisted by kind hearted friends, determined
to give an entertainment by which they could
raise a sum of money sufficient to help them,
to a certain extent, out of their embarras-
ment, and, at the same time, to give a pleas-
ing and‘ instructive evening’s enjoyment.
How far they succeeded can be determined
by the constant praise and flattering com-
ments given by the residents of this village.
In fact, they make no hesitation in saying it
was the most enjoyable entertainment ever
given at Rowavton. The entertainment be-
gan at 7:45 p. m. The opening quartette. en-
titled “Beautiful Hills,” by Miss Nena Mills,
soprano; Mrs. H' A. Hilton, alto ; Mr. Geo.
W. Sherer, tenor; and Mr. Jas. E. Stevens,
Basso, was completely rendered. Next up-
on the programmc was the moral drama e‘n-
titled “Among the Breakers." The cast was
as follows :—

David Murry, Light-Keeper
Larry Dcvine, his assistant
Hon. Bruce Hunter, capt. yacht
Clarence. his ward

Peter Paragraph, reporter
Scud, colored servant II. A. Hilton.
Mother Cary, fortune teller Mrs. J. H. Sherer.
Boss Starbright, life prcscrver Mile. A. Hilton.
Minnie Daze Miss Hattie Mills.
Biddy Baul, Irish girl Miss A. CowperthWaitc.

Of the above named ladies and gentlemen,
too much praise cannot be given. Mr. F.
Crockct as David Murry was given in such a
manner and perfectness of acting as to stir.
prise even his most intimate friends. Mr.
John Hilton, as Hon. Bruce Hunter, was
rendered as only a gentleman of education
and splendid oratory powers, with a perfect
understanding of the play, can render. Peter
Paragraph, by Mr. W. G. Crockett, was per-V
fectly given. Mr. H. A. Hilton, as Send the
colored servant, was rendered in such amon-
ncr as to keep the house in continual laugh-
ter. Mr. C. II. Hubbs as Larry Devine, the'

F. Crochet.
Charles Hubbs.
John Hilton.

R. O.Raymond.
W. G.Crockctt.

Irishman, was given in such a lively manner‘

as to compel his friends to say that he must

have a touch of the old sod about him some-’

where—and Mr. Robt. 0. Raymond as Clar-
ence, fully justified the expectations of his
friends. Mrs. J. H. Sherer, as Mother Cary,
cannot be excelled ; it was perfectly given.
Mr. H. A. Hilton, as Bess Starbright, was
given in a sprightly and pleasing manner, de-
lighting all. Miss Hattie Mills, as Minnie
Daze,'needs no comment further than, it was
perfect. Miss Anna Cowpertliwaite, as Bid-
dy Baul, the Irish girl, could not have been
better given. In fact, the play “Among the
Breakers,” was given with such perfectness
as to show careful and patient effort on the
part of the performers to please and delight
all those who were assembled to see them.

“I am in need of a bean" and “You naughty, -

naughty men, comic ballads by Miss Cora

Horton were given inpher usual pleasing man. '

ncr. A duett by Mr. and Mrs, H. A. Hilton
entitled “Mr. and Mrs. Brown,” eiicted great
applause from all parts of the house. A
comic song by Mr. C. A. Hubbs was pleas-
ing. A Ballad entitled “Out West," by Mr.
W. G. Crockett, assisted by Messrs. Sherer,
Stevens and Hubbs, was also given with spir-
it ‘and animation._ In fact, the whole enter-
tainment was given in a manner to create
good feeling and pleasure to all. It was giv-
en on the evenings of Feb. 12th and 13th.

 

Al Watts 9. famous'Massachusetts dog man
testified before a committee of that state’s
legislature, that he had recently had twenty-
five cases of supposd hydrophobic, but they
were nearly all affected with diptheria. He
had in four years 1,000 cases of "hydropho-
bia,” but there was not one of those cases
that was really hydrophobia. Constipated
dogs, dogs with worms, sick dogs of all kinds,
were brought to him as hydrophobia cases.
He did not believe there was any such dis-
ease as hydrophobia. He had been bitten a
hundred times, and had no fear of a bite. He
always cauterized a bite, but simply to ex-
clude dirt and make the wound heal quickly.

Mr. Moody on Temperance.

Mr. Moody, in his concluding remarks .at
Hartford, said that every Christian man and

woman ought to banish intoxicating liquors

from their homes. If any Christian belonged
to one of these clubs where liquors are kept
he should get out of it. There are some
fathers with strong will power who can drink
much or little as they please, but in ninety-
nine cases out of one hundred the sons of
these fathers have uncontrollable appetites.
If you think liquor don’t. hurt you, you
should give it up for Christ’s sake. If you
have it on your tables pour it into the street ;
if you belong to a club where it is kept, leave
it. If you have been in the habit of going
into 9. lager beer saloon to get beer, or into a
drug store, remember your example is on
the wrong side. And I want to say that I
think it a great deal more manly to go into
a saloon than to sneak into a drug store and
take it on the sly.

From the Editor of the New 21’0ch Times.
The Dogs and Their Sufferings.

“The dog-days," as this period of the year
is called, being at hand, and having been re.
peatedly asked for an expression of my epin-
ion with regard to the muzzling of dogs, will
you please give place to the following au-
thorities on the subject. It is not generally
known that the dog only_ perspires through
his mouth, and consequently, to close that
by a legal ordinance is to violate natural law.
Hydrophobia may be declared. to be of rare
occurrence. Notwithstanding, many ani—
mals are slain merely for frothing at the
mouth and biting when tormented.

The distinguished physiologists Durnrr-
ruin: BRISCHET, MAGENDIE, and pthers, aflirm
that they have put dogs and cats in an in-
closure together, and there kept them with-
out food or water until they devoured one
another, without hydrophobic ever develop-
ing itself. ‘

Moreover, that they have subjected them
to a continuous annoyance, with a view to
provoking them to madness, without effect,
and have furnished them foul water and
flesh of the most unhealthy and corrupt
quality, with like result; The foregoing
naturalists, along with the great Italian pilYSa"
ician CAPELID, including the entire college
of veterinary surgeons of Alfort, declared
that spontaneous hydrophobic has its origin
in the unsatisfied necessities of the male ani-
mal for the female, the continual use of bones
as a diet, owing to the phosphorus which
they contain, augmenting that desire. Fons-
sanr and others affirm that it is the males
only which are subject to spontaneous rabies,
and recommend that this sex only be killed.
The veterinary school of Lyons assert that
dogs are more liable to madness during the
cold and winter months than during J unc,
July and August. A vast number of modern
physiologists declare that the muzzling of
dogs only tends to produce the disease,
and that it is no safeguard, because, if mad,
the animal breaks the muzzle and bites, and
that most of the cases occurin private houses,
where exercise and intercourse with female
is more rigorously denied them. Cursed be
the muzzle! cxclaims the French Secretary
of the Board of Health of Paris, who in a
charming story, causes a muzzle dog to de-
scribe his scnsation thus. “In my organiza-
tion nature has provided me with no other
sudorific glands than those of my tongue.
Duiing the great heat of Summer touch my
skin; it is dry. Look at my tongue, and see
the streams of sweat escaping; muzzle me
and what is the result. You arrest this nat-
ural excretion of my body You turn it
inwards, and it corrupts my blood, and prop-
agates the very disease which you seek to
prevent, and I bite in my delirium those,
among others, whom I love best.”

In Berlin the muzzle has been discontinued.
In Turkey, Egypt and Syria, madness is very
rare, although by reason of the Mussulman’s’
superior humanity dogs are never killed.

Nothing, says LAYALLETE, tends more to
demoralize the public mind, and. develop the
instincts of crueltyin children, than the spec-
tacle of that faithful friend and companion
of man being murdered or tortured in our
public streets; that creature of which some
one has said:

“With eves upturned, his master’s look to scan,
The joy, the solace, and the aid of man ;

The rich. man’s guardian and the poor mans friend.
The only creature faithful to the end.,’
I am, Are. , your most obedient servant.

FROM THE GERMAN.

 

Beside the church door, aweary and lone,
A blind woman out on the cold door-stone ;
The wind was bitter, the snow fell fast,
And a mocking voice in the fitful blast,
Seemed ever to echo her moaning cry,

As she begged for aims of the passers by;
“ Have pity on me—have pity, I pray;
My back is bent—my head is gray.”

The bells were ringing the hour of prayer,

And many good people were gathering there

But, covered with furs and mantles warm,

They hurried past through the winter storm.

Some were hoping their souls to save,

And some were thinking of death and the
grave; ,

And alas! they had no time to heed

The poor soul asking for charity’s meed.

And some were blooming with beauty's grace

But closely muflied in veils of lace, '

They saw not the sorrow nor heard the mean

Of her who sat on the cold door-stone.

At last came one of a noble name,

By the city counted the wealthiest dame,

And the pearls that ’round her neck were
strung

She proudly these to the beggar flung.

Then followed a maiden, young and fair,

Adorned with clusters of golden hair;

But her dress was thin and scanty, and worn,

(Not even the beggar seemed more for-lem,)

With a tearful look, and a pitiful sigh,

She wispered softly, “No pearls have I;

But I give you my prayers, good friend, said
she, '

And surely I know God listens to me.”

On her poor, weak hand, so: shrunken and
small,

The blind woman felt a tear drop'fall ;

Then kissed it, and said to the weeping girl,

It is you that have given the purest pearl.

Victor Emanuel, after looking into Rev.
W. H. H. Murray’s book upon “The Perfect
Horse," was surprised and half incredulous
when told that it was written by a preacher.
“Ah,” said be, "if we had a few such preach-

ride on donkeys."

Here is one of the shortest and pithiest ser-

naked and bare; our progress through life is
trouble and care; our egress out of it we
know not where; but doing well here, we
shall do well there. I could not tell you more

EARLY Forms on THE TELEPHONE.—- In
the preface of a book by Robert Hookc, F.
It. S., published about 1060, occurs the fol-
fowing:—

“ And as Glasses have highly promoted
our seeing, so ’tis not impossible but that
there may be found many Mechanical inven-
tions to improve our other senses of hearing,
smelling, tasting, touching. ’Tis not impos-
sible to hear a whisper at a furlong’s distance,
it having been already done; and perhaps
the nature of the thing would not' make it
more impossible, though that furlough should
be ten times multiply’d. And though some
famous Authors have affirm’d it impossible
to hear through the thinnest plate of Muscovy
glass; yet I know a way, by which -’ti§ casie
enough to hear one speak through a wall a
yard thick. It has not yet been thoroughly
exami’d, how far Otocousticons may be im-
prov’d nor what other wayes there ,niay _be
of quickening our hearing. or conveying
sound through bodies then [than] the Air;
for that is not: the only medium. I can as.
sure the Reader, that I have. by help of a
distended wire, propagated the sound to a
very considerable distance in an instant, or.
with as seemingly quick :1 motionqas that of
light at least, incomparably sWifter then

A Permanent Cure of a Cough of Forty Years
Standing by Dr. Fix/go.

This is to certify that I have been troubled with
a hard. dry cough for about forty years, and dur-
ing this time I tried many skillful physicians, but
did not find any relief or benefit until I applied to
Dr. Fiskc- llis medicines worked like magic, for
my cough disappeared entirely in a very few
weeks, and has not troubled me since, and my gen-
eral health is greatly improved. I cannot speak
in terms of too great praise of the virtues of his
medicines. I am desirous that everybody should
know what they have done for me. and will be
glad to direct any one to the remedies that will
cure that fell destroyer of the human race—con-
sumption. MRS. PETTIS, '
