DARIEN.
The new Center District School is being
pushed with skill and rapidity under Boss
Thaddeus Bell. It will be a very fine build-
ing, and its imposmg appearance from the N.
Y. & N. H. R. R. cars will no doubt attract
the attention of many seeking homes with
good school privileges. ,
The young people of the Congregational
church have arranged for a course of six lec-
turcs. to be given by prominent clergymen
of neighboring churches. Among the num-
her arc—Rev. Dr.J. M. Buckley and Rev. Dr.
Vilcox of Stamford, and Rev. A. II. Brad-
ford, of Montclair, N. J. From the charac-
tor of all the lecturers a rare treat for Darien
is expected.
Under the pastorate of Rev. B. F. Brad-
ford, which began less than a year ago, the
interests of the Congregational church, both
spiritual and temporal, have greatly improv-
ed. Theaudieuccs are good, social meetings
interesting and well attended, and the pros-
pects of future prosperity are very bright.
The proceeds of the sale of course tickets
to the lectures, which will be one dollar each,
will be devoted to the new lecture and Sun-
day school room.
NEW CANAAN.
The Fellowship meeting on Thursday last,
was one of the best series. ‘ Some two huu

church. -
The buildings, belonging to Wm. D.
Gregory,Esq., used as a grist-mill, saw-mill,
and ice house, were burnt up early on Tues.
day morning of last week. The origin of the
fire is unknown one supposition is that it re-
sulted from the carelessness of some tramp
or straggling pcdlcr. As there was no in-
surancc on the property, its destruction
will be a serious loss to Mr. Gregory.
During Lent, services will be held in St.
Matthew’s church, every Wednesday even-
ing, beginning at 7, o‘clock.
The party, last Monday evening, at the-
house of Mr. George Betts, was well attended.
Some may feel relieved on learning that
the Selectmen were the “parties” meant in a
certain paragraph in Notwil’s contribution
last week, and that the “proposals” were for
building “the new roar ” and keeping the
town-poor.
The weather, during the past week, in
order to maintain its well earned reputation
for relnarkablcness, presented us with a
thunder-storm, and several days apparantly
stolen from June ; we trust that June will
not deem it incumbent upon itself, when it
arrives, to return the compliment.
Unusual interest is shown in the Probate
Election. _
The Mission Band meets on Friday even-
ing at the residence of Mr. Charles Betts.

Hill, of Norwalk, participated, and the News
says: John Small is, of course, the prinCipal
character in the play, and Sothern, as Dun-
dreary, was fairly surpassed by the vivacious
Mr. Eben Hill, of Norwalk. He has made
this role a study and has succeeded.
WESTPORT: '
The rare luxury of a cock fight in a dis-
trict school housewhich was not interrupted
by the town euthorities, ”was-A enjoyed by
those who understand that sort of fights,
recently, in"‘COmpo.” But for the burning
of a couple of Bibles, a Websters’ Dictionary,
and other books the affair would have
attracted . no special attention, and it is
worthy of no comment now further than to
ask the question, "Of what value are laws, if
they be not enforced.”
Quite a number of our citizens attended
the funeral of the suicide, the late Ell Coggs-
well.
A party of ladies and gentlemen, young
people predominating, made a surprise call

time. ,
Thursday night’s thunder shower, and the
glorious warm weather following suggests
the thought that we are not to have, but are
having an early spring.

BRIDGEPORT.
A parish meeting of St. John’s Church was
held last Wednesday evening to make ar-
rangements for the church indebtedness for
the coming year and those present were sur-
prised by the introduction of Mr. Kimball,
the famous church debt raiser. Mr. N.
Wheeler happened to meet him in New York
on other business and the subject of St.
John’s indebtedeess being introduced Mr.
Kimball consented to come to Bridgeport and
see what could be 'done. His hearers
were roused to great enthusiasm by his ad-
dress, many being affected to tears, and when
he concluded and. subscriptions were called
for $15,000 were promptly put down. There
was one subscription of $5,000, two of $2,500
one of $1,000, five of $500, four of $250, and
five of $100. The meeting was continued
until eleven o.clock when an adjournment
was made to Sunday morning at which time
it is expected Mr. Kimball will be present.
The entire indebtedness of the St. John‘s
Church is between $60,000 and $70,000 and
it is hoped the whole amount will be raised
and the church freed from financial incum-
brances. The [Presbyterian Church Society
have also been at work in a quiet manner in
the same direction. Within two days they
have raised $21,000 and in a few days more
the balance of the indebtedness, about $7,000
will doubtless be entirely wiped out. There
were two subscription of‘ $10,000 each, and
one of $1,000.
The removal by death of a citizen who for
fifty years has held such prominence as Mr.
Joseph Mott whose death was announced
Wednesday deserves more than a mere pass-
ing notice. Mr. Mott was born in Hunting-
ton, L. I., where a branch of the Mott family
very early settled. Joseph was apprenticed
to his Uncle, Daniel Platt, a carriage maker
of Westport, in this county. At twenty
years of age he arranged with his Uncle for
the balance of his time and started the car-
riage business with Capt. —— Thorp of
Fairfield. He remained there a short time
when he removed to Norwalk and started
the same business on his own account. His
stay in Norwalk was short, for he removed
to Bridgeport in 1827- 8— about which time
he was married to Grisel A. Burr. He built
a carriage shop in the ordinary style on the
easterly side of Clinton avenue 9. little south
of the corner of North avenue. The busi-
ness was conducted here until about the
year 1834 when Mr. Mott having been join-
ed by his brother-in-law Mr. John Burr, they
removed to State street. Mr. Mott at one
time was the owner of considerable valuable
real estate, embracing the Iranistan property
on the north side of Fairficld avenue and
extending west to Grove street which he sold
without; reaping any considerable advantage
to himself. He was ever alive to the advance-
ment of the interests of this city, and served
with acceptance a number of years as a mem-
. her of the CommonCo uncil in company with
some of our most substantial old citizens.
His personal qualities were of high order.
He was a member of the First Congregation.
a1 church with which he and his Wife united
in 1844. For a number of years Mr. Mort
has spent much of his time in New York in
charge of the business of his firm at that
oint. - 4
p Captain Hale, formerly of Long Hill and
well known in this section,'has been offered
the command of a new steamship to run

_ "Butterfliesjn large numbers, rubins singing .
inztlle trees, turtles and the whole tribe of in-
sects that usually come in spring. seem to
confirm us in our antleipations of an early
season. Indeed, to all intents and purposes,
spring seems to have ‘come. Farmers are
plowing, others have sown their onion seed,
still others will begin to plant their potatoes.

Weston is known for its unusually large
number of very aged persons. One of these,
Mrs. Amelia Hotchkiss, residing with her
grandaughter, Mrs. Ebenezer Fitch, celebrat-
ed her ninetieth birthday, last Sabbath. She
is a hale and hearty old lady.
Another one, Mrs. Cynthia Smith, died
last week and was buried .on Wednesday.
Her age was eightysix years.
Speaking of age we saw quite a curiosity of
antiquity, which was shown us by Mr-
Ephriam Fitch, in the cellar of the residence
of Mr. William Godfrey. That house was
built some seventy odd years ago, and in' the
cellar two large bins for preserving potatoes
ifi them. They were well made, and these
big tubs were apparently as good as ever.
We are sincerely glad to be able to an-
nounce that Mr. Bradley Dykeman has so far
recovered from his late dangerous illness, as
to be about agaln and walk short distances.
On Tuesday (March 19th) the quarterly
district covcntion, of the Good Templars,will
meet in the hall of Neversink lodge. There
will be a. public meeting in the church in the
evening, on which occasion Rev. Mr. Rasqe,
of Essex ; Rev. Mr. Winter, of Greenwich,
and others are expected to speak. To the
public meeting in the evening, all; besides
Good Tcmnlars are cordially invited, and it
is expected that—if the weather is fair—there
will be a grand gathering of Template at the
business session in the forenoon, and at the
collation in the afternoon.
Owing to the exceptionally finc weather on
Sunday, the churches—the Episcopal in Ly-
on's Plains in the evening, and the Congrega-
tional on the hill, at noon, were well filled.
At the communion in the Congregational
church, one young man was received by bap-
tism into full membership.
The donation to Rev. Mr. Walton, rector
of Emanuel church, passed off very pleasant-

General Jarvis has hit the nail on the 'head‘

ed thereby.

pleasant and gentlemanly he truly is. ,
' - WES TON.
It is reported that recent proceedings have
brought to light a novel method of ascertain-
ing the probable pecuniary value of a young
lady which was adopted by her suitor, viz:
The procurement of a copy of the inventory
of her father's estate. Notwithstanding he
had been dead over twenty yeais, and the
significant fact that the assets of that inven-
tory consisted of .merehandise and book
accounts, that this money searcher put in a
claim to her share of inventory valuation,
not content with her proportion of the
amount actually realized by the estate, from
sale of merchandise and collection of book
accounts, which she had received before
marriage and for which she had given her
receipt in settlement.
If legal heirs and those who marry to ob-
tain money from estates, could enforce, such
demands, there would soon be none so fool-
hardy as to undertake the settlement of
estates of deceased persons lest they should
be called on to make up large amounts con-
sequent upon such absurd and preposterous
claims.

In an article on the Ice Business, thejDan-
bury News truly Says: ' .
“The business is an unhealthy one. In the
winter cold feet and perhaps a frequent in-
voluntary bath lead to chills and fever. In
the summer riding around on a damp wagon,
with a constant steam arising and being in-
haled, also leads to the same complaint. In
storlng and packingfingers and feet are often
smashed and jammed, and scraped shins are
common. Altogether the ice man is a man of
many troubles, and he deserves the dollars
that: he reaps from his solidified crop each
summer.”

A Mammoth Excursion Steamer.
The Grand Republic, which is now in
course of construction at the yard of John
Englis 8; Son, Greenport, Long Island, for R.
Cornell White, is to be a sister ship to the
popular steamer Columbia, built last year:
and is intended to join the fleet of steamers
making excursions daily to Rockaway Beach
duringlthe Summer season. It is the inten-
tion of the management of this line to make
the Grand Republic one of the most elegant
excursion boats ever built. She will be one-
quarter larger than the Columbia, and her
appointments will be of the best description.
The hull, built of oak, and thoroughly fas-
tened, will be of the following dimensions:
Length on deck, 300; breadth, 72 feet; depth
of hold 13 feet; draught of water, 6; feet.
Estimated speed, 20 miles an hour. The en-
gine, to be built at the Quintard Iron Works,
will be of the vertical-beam pattern with 76
inch cylinder and 12 feet stroke of piston.
There will be two boilers, placed under the
deck, each 13% feet front, 26% feet long, 11}
feet diameter of shell. Attached to the
boilers will be a. surface condenser, built by
William A. Lightall. There will also be an
independent steam boiler and engine, with
pumps, pipe, and hose attachments, which
will give additional facilities to guard against
accident. The joiner work, to be erected by
John E. Hoffmire, will be in style somewhat
like that of the Columbia, with numerous
mirrors, and trimmings to make an elegant
and attractive finish, and will include three
decks running the whole length of the vessel.
The Grand Republic will accomodate 4,000
passengers, having deck-room and furnished
with seating capacity for that number, and
she will be completed during the month of
June, and will be placed regularly on the
Rockaway Beach route on the 30th of that
month—N. Y . Times.

In regard to the denial that Persia has
agreed to exchange the Casbian district with
Russia for the district of Bayazid, mark this:
Russia will keep all she has now in Armenia,
and take all she wants on the Caspian when
she wants it. The last mouthful Russia took
out of Persia is a piece of territory the size of
England.

The English of the statement 'of Count
Andrassy in regard to the bill for credit, is
that Russia Is to be held to her repeated
declaration: that she has drawn the sword
not for selfish purposes, and that she will not
be permitted to rte-arrange the map of Tur-
key without cosulting Europe; she comes
armed into the congress, and Austria, which
has reserved half her strength for this crisis
of peace, asks for a credit that she may not
be taken by surprise. He says that Russia
may find an European coalition in her way,
but no such coalition yet exists,
CALIFORNIA LETTER.
, SAN, Draco, CAL.Feb.’*2tlth, 1878.
DEAR GAZETTE :
Y our visits to the Pacific coast are regular
and welcome. Except in instances where
you go over the water and out of the country,
probably you do not get farther away from
home than when Uncle Samuel’s messenger
drops you down in this quiet little city of
St. James, full in view of the Mexican Re-
public. In some respects California is a
nation by itself. On a smaller Scale, minia-
ture style even, San Diego is sui generic.
True it keeps up a connection with the
State to which it belongs, with the great
nation it hopes to serve in the near future,
and with the world at large. The connec-
tion, however, is not so close as to destroy
individuality. Aspiring as you well may,
because of your honorable age and real worth,
to something of a national reputation, per-.
haps you will prize a word from this distant
place.
Your correspondent has become quite a
,patriarch in this changeful State of his adop-
tion. It is now well nigh five years since he
turned from New England which he can
never cease to love. and from Norwalk in
which he must always cherish a. deep inter-
cat, and found a resting place where the two
seas of Eastern and Western civilization
meet. Meanwhile, each church in this place,
excepting the Catholic, has had from two to
four pastors, and not a church of his own
denomination in California has now the same
pastor who was serving it in the early part
of 1873. Let your readers judge if patriarch-
al respect does not fairly belong to their
former friend, even if he has not the dignity
to honor the station, nor the white hairs to
challenge attention to it. ‘ -
Cherishing as he. does a. vivid remembrance
of what February may show in the way of
snow, storms, gales, cold snaps and sudden
thaws, he is compelled to institute in his
thoughts 9. comparison between your land-
scape and his, and between the weather you
may be enduring and he is enjoying. Hills
and plains are beautifully fresh and green
now. Fruit trees are beginning to blossom. ,
The dear people of this section can whet
their appetites with such relishes as straw-
berries, green peas, fresh tomatoes, new pota-
toes, cauliflower, ctc., and feast their eyes
with roses, heliotropes, pinks and callus in
bloom. There will be no frost to nip them.
We are having to-day just about the usual .
temperature when the sun‘ shines. It is three
o‘clock p. m., and here in my room in the
shade the thermometer marks 72 9-
Last wintergwas a very dry one all Over
the State; the crops were consequently a
total failure in many places; cattle, horses
and sheep died by thousands. The bees
made no honey for their owners, scarcely
finding enough to live upon themselves.
These things, joined with the universal finan-
cial difiiculties, made the past a hard year for
Californians. The out-look for the coming
Season is very cheering. Already such an
amount of rain has fallen as to insure abund-
ant pasturage for flocks and herds and
swarms, and a plentiful harvest from wheat
and barley fields. May the hopes of our
husbandmcn be fully realized. May pros-
perity come to our whole country in spite of
unwise legislation. And may the relief
from the crushing hand of a monster Rail
Road monopoly, which Southern California
so earnestly seeks, be secured in the speedy
completion of a competing trans-continental
Railway. Time must bring it, and with it
will come a bright era of development for
this new and rich corner of the Republic.
But enough for once. If you can use this,
perhaps you may be treated to some more of
the same sort. Yours, as ever, 0. W. G.

To CeruY :——I observed in your commu-
nication to the GAZETTE, a few remarks on
the subject of music,and theprogress that the,
Beethoven Society is making in the science.
I wish that every town and hamlet had- an
organization for the culture of music. It in
flucnces the mental and the moral, refines, e1-
evates and tends to subdue the rough edge of
our nature; sympathetic in sorrow and afflic-
tion, animating on the battle-field, pleasing
in the social circle and in harmony with
everything beautiful in nature. ’Tis‘ the
speech of angels, the birds of the forest, and
the shells of the ocean. Jefferson said that
music was the soul of his life. In a commu-
nication of Andrew Fletcher, (Salton Hall,
Scotland,) to the Marquis of Montrose, in
the sixteenth century, he said that he knew a
wise man, who believed if a man were per-
mitted to make all the ballads, he need not '
care who should make the laws of the nation.
There is a deep significance in music; it in-
spires, is magnetic, it arouses the feelings of
patriotism. “The man that hath no music
in himself, nor is not moved with concord of
sweet sounds, is fit for treasons. Let no such
man be trusted.” I’ORTIA.
