Messrs EDrrons :-——While the efforts to re-
plenish the Sunday School library are certain-
ly praisewerthy, would it not be equally
commendable that the books which the
school already possesses be put in a readable
shape? Many of the books are. left lylllq
about the Chapel, instead of being put in
their proper place, with either one or both
Covers missing, and Otherwise defaced. Let
these be put in order first; then with the
books soon to be added they will form quite
an attractive library, doing much to create a
more general interest in the school. *
Another church Sociable is to be held next
Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. Eb—
enczcr P. Weed, for the benefit of the Sab-
bath School library. If the weather should
prove stormy the Sociable will be held on
Wednesday evening.
A Hop is to come off at the Hall on Turs-
day evening, Feb. 28th.
WILTON.
The Dramatic Entertainment of the Sons
of Temperance passed off very smcolhly.
The evenings were not stormy, the audience
was large, the music attractive, and all con-
cerned acquitted themselves most creditably.
Much taste and artistic skill was shown in
the arrangement of the stage. The affair
was likewise a success pecuniarly, and those
most active in organizing and carrying it on
may well feel satisfied with the result of
their labors; although, we think, without
wishing to be liypercitial, that a mistake was
made is not having programmes.
Reed’s Hall is again to be the scene of a
Ball, 61 rather “Sociable,” on the 26th inst.
The man born on twenty-ninth of Feb.
feels glum, as he reflects on the slim pros-
pects of birthday presents this year.
Despite the rain and mud, a very pleasant
gathering took place at the residence of the
Misses Fitch. A number of young people
of the vicinity were present, andthc “Upper
Ten,” a social club from Norwalk, composed
exclusively of gentlemen, appeared in full
force. They brought with them their usual
musicians, and mest of the company were
soon “tripping it on the light fantastic toe.”
Quite a number from town drove down to
the Fellowship meeting at Westport on
Thursday.
Last week’s rain-storm was the hardest one
we have had in a long time.
Lent is expected to begin here as soon as
elesewhere.
The mad dog excitement has reached Wil-
ton, A town meeting was recently held, at
which it was voted that all owners or keep-
ers of dogs in this town shall keep them muz-
zled ofconfined from March 1st to Septem-
ber lst, 1878, and that the selectmen pay a
bounty of $1.00 per head for each dog killed
running at large off the owners’ premises
without a muzzle during that time.
On Saturday last the remains of Mrs. Phoe-
be Pclham were brought up from New York
for interment in the Episcopal church yard.
Mrs. Pelham, formerly Miss “Arnold, was
born in \Vilton and had relatives and friends
here. .
The donation to Rev. Mr. Stebbins, pastor
of the M. E. church, at Zion’s Hill, took
place last Wednesday, and was a very satis-
factory alfair, Some $30 and a large quanti-
ty of provisions were received.
Times may be hard, but the heart of one
Wilton youth was lately made glad by every
fine Estey parlor organ, direct from the man-
ufactory at Brattleboro, Vt. A gift from
his father. _
Rev. Mr. Teller, of Ridgefield, preached at
Zion’s Hill on Sunday afternoon.
NOTWIL.
Wilton Division S. of S.
For many months past the reader of the
Gazette have been accustomed to see Wilton
news over the noon dc plume of, “Will Ten”
and more lately of “Not Will,” and many of
us have wondered why it was that these (or
this); correspondents had escaped the uni-
versal habit of nick naming. Why not Bill
Ten and Not Bill? Most Of your readers in
this ilk would surely understand Bill better
as it is more natural,—Pcrhaps it was with
this fact in view that the Wilton Division S.
of T. had for some weeks past been preparu
ing a “Bill,” and that on Monday and Tues-
day last presented their little Bill, to' the sur-
prise' of their friends and the public;
not in :the shape of a nick-named William,
but as a Bill Dramatique. The venerable
and somewhat dilapidated Town Hall had,
by the tasteful efforts, and skillful hands of
the “Sons,” been converted into a perfect
theatrical bijou whose stage front and scenes,
by their easy design and beautiful harmony
of their artistic decorations, elicited much
surprise and praise, the like of which had
never before been seen in Wilton. On Mon-
day the Bill presented was, a duet by two
of the young lady mem bers, andfnlly sustain-
ed the well earned reputation of the Division
as the possessor of talent, a farce, “Too much
of a good thing” then a misadventure (not an
accidental mishap) but one so well planned
and played that to this day Isympathize with
the victim. A beautiful recitation of a
beautiful temperance poem, beautifully de-
livered by a young lady was followed by ‘ ‘An
Englishmans house is his castle" in which
the Division’s lst W. P. carried me forcibly
back to the days‘ of Charles Mathews and
the saucy naivetee of of, well, Matilda Jane,
strongly reminded of poor dcparted Mary
Gannon. At frequent intervals the audience
were regaled with beautiful musical selec-
tions, given by, the WestportBand. Tues-
day—Promptly on time Br. Burns’ Eaton
waived the opening signal for the overture,
and was as promptly followed by a solo.—
what can I say of that and the duct in char-
acter ? nothing? Yes I can say the singers
were all members of Wilton Division which
simplified, means perfect! The Englishman
now came on to show that his house was his
castle, and went off in a blaze of glory fol-
lowed by the two ,Bonnycastles. Here I
looked for a treat, for I ' well remembered
Wm. E. Burton's Bonnycastle the more I
felt “old Burton’s” death. Yet why? No l.
The thing’s clear. Burton never had such a
Mrs. Bonnycastlc as this poor Bonnycastle
had to eclipse him. But then, neither did
Burton have such a Helen to console him in
the hour of hisneed, nor such a Smuggins to
to hold him when he fainted. Nor was Mrs.
Holman over such a Patty as here appear-
ed. In this play the parts were so evenly
filled that contrast disappeared, nor did any-
one detract from the others. Another brill-
iant and graceful recnatien followed by “A
Little more Cider” and the evening closed.
A brilliant and evidently a profitable,success.
A pleasant little incident (not on the bills)
was Brother Burns’ serenade to the .Worthy
Patriarch (Rev. Mr. Merwin) after the close
of the entertainment. SENEX.

Miss Thursby‘s concert was the best Stam-

she attended an entertainment in her honor

WESTPORT.
Old Prob gave a dose Thursday and, Fri-
day to the cold water folks which __wn1 last
them the balance Of "the winter. Indeed,
the enemies of total abstinence themselves
admit they caught enough water to satisfy
their most ardent (i) desires.
"The event of the season was the “Old
Folks Party” held at Sturges’ Hall, Thursday
evening. Invitations to about - seventy of
our best citizens: had been given, who, with
their wives and families made a gathering
the like of which never, if ever was seen be-
fore in Westport. Redgate’s band of Bridge-
port supplied music, and the order of danc-
ing which embraced 24 numbers, enabled
young and old to gratify any style of shaking}
the light fantastic too. The “Old folks” in
“Money Mush” “Eight Reel”
Dance" and the “Virginia Reel” just what
they wanted to assisted in renewing their
youth and the younger ones spread them-
selves in Quadrilles, Les Lanciers, Polka’s
and Waltzes, and keept up the festivites till
a late, or rather an early hour. As floor
manager, Capt. W. S Guyer excelled him-
self. He was assisted by Messrs. L. '1‘.
Burns, W. J. Finch, W. T. Wood, and
Frederick Sherwood. Supper was announc-
ed at a convenient hour, the old people sit-
ting at meat first, and their juniors taking
what was left, at the second table, Rev. J.
R- Williams occupied one end of the’tablc,
and Rev. A. N. Lewis the other, the letter
saying grace. A description of thefiseene which
followed adequate to a depiction of the
pleasures and satisfaction enjoyed 'is impos-
sible. Suffice it to say everybody was happy.
anl everybody went away regretting that
such a party had not been thought of earlier
in the winter, and hoping a repetition will
be had of it, so soon as the solemnities of
the Lenten season, now about open, are over.
Messrs Frank Godfrey and David Finnigan
have purchased lots on Bridge Street and
Compo street respectively, and will at once
begin the erection of dwelling houses. 1 '
The introduction of water into Westport
enjoys the thoughts of resident financiers.
Several plans have been discussed, but- none
meet with so much favor as that by a well-
known citizen, who proposes to erect a dam
across the river somewhere above the village
bridge near Gorham’s Island,and constructing
a tide mill there. He claims that power
enough can be obtained in a wheel of proper
size to raise all the water the town will need.
The plan anticipates the taking of water from
Wood’s pond“, less than half a mile north, and
forcing it through pipes into a reservoir to be
constructed on either the east or west side of
the river. People on the line of the connect-
ing pipe Can utilize them as mains for the
supply of such water as they need. As the
water in Wood's pond is unquestionably pure
as well as never failing, the project seems
feasable. It is claimed the entire plan can
be carried at an outlay of less than 3520.000.

Presiding Elder Fletcher preached in the
Methodist church, Wednesday evening. His
sermon was a grand one.
Later in the evening Eli Perkins lectured
to a large audience at the Hall. He suc-
ceeded in pleasing many, but not all.
For the information of other lecturers, it
may be well to say that, in the opinion of
Mr. Perkins, a Ridgefield audience is the
most stupid one he has ever found. He
never found one so stupid in the backwoods
of the West. As other lecturers have
praised the intelligence of our audiences, the
story bears its own moral.

WESTON.
The sterm on Friday washed the roads
‘prctty extensively and rendered traveling in
some parts almost impossible. In some pla-

more.
A large audience assembled in the Congre-
gational church last Sabbath only to be disap-
pointed, for the pastor was unable to preach
owing to a sudden indisposition.
The fellowship meeting in Fairfield, was
largely attended by Weston people.
The services in the Episcopal church, Ly-
en's Plains, are well attended.
The Weston Literary Association is flourish-
ing. Literary charades are to be introduced.
A novel feature, but we think highlyconduc-
ive to literary development. .
The Weston Cadet has made its appearance
in a new garb. Vol. 1. N o. 1 looks neat, and
contains readable matter. The youthful edi-
torial corps deserve much praise for their
zeal in this enterprise. If they are not too
proud or too sensitive to take a piece of
wholesome advice, we. would ask them to
leave out all unkind personalities and espec.
ially any attempts at caricaturing scripture.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Many Good Templars attended the festival
of Washington Lodge at Cranberry Plains,
last Thursday.
The birthday of Washington passed off
in rain. No one moved out of the house
unless compelled to do so. The schools both
public and private had a holiday. There was
to be a party or soiree in the Institute, but
the rain prevented its taking place.
Mrs. Buckingham, of Connecticut, and
Mr. E. T. Starin, of New York, are on a visit

Many students of the Military Institute left
on a short furlong to spend the birthday of
their country’s father with their friends at
home. No more rest now until Easter is the
order of the day.
Our representative did not return this
week but remained in Hartford. ’
Just on the outskirts of the town, near the
bridges, is an old red house ; but it is an old
red house no longer. Dr. Ruby, of West-
pert, has bought it. Carpenters and painters
have been at work and the house in its reno-
vated form bids fair to become, in summer
especially, one of the most attractive features
on the road from Weston to Westport. A
like improvement has been made in the cor-
ner house at the foot of Scribners’ Hill,where
the road branches off in four directions. Mr.
Hendrix has thoroughly overhauled it, and a
very neat residence it has become. Thus
goes the march of improvement even “Wes-
ton-ward." TON Wns.

the vault in which he was locked. On ob-

vault handcuffed, ga god and a rope round
his neck. He was to on out in asenseless con-
dition and died at half-past five in the morn-
ing. He had several bad wounds on his fore-
