An early spring is making the rural in~ habitant unusually busy for this season Of the year. . 1 There is evidence of greater expenditure of labor on the farms in this section than in previous years, and greater care in general improvements. Abeautiful Sabbath hailed the first ap- pearance of Rev. S. H. Platt, the new pastor of the Methodist Church, and as a conse- quence there was a large congregation both forenoon andcvening. He preached to the general aceeptation of all. The erection of three new houses in the village simultaneously, really presents an ap- pearance of prosperity. Applications for summer board are quite numerous, and renders probable alarge in- flux of strangers for the season. Many that were 'here last year have again engaged board. Rev. L. W. Abbott arrived in town last Thursday with his family, and took posses- sion of his new house on Friday. his resi- dence has been named “Pilgrim’s Rest” and may he live many years, to enjoy in its pleasant haven, the rest he richly deserves, after a long life spent in; the sevice of the church. . H. K. Scott sprained his ankle badly last week. Fortunately he holds a policy in the Traveler’s Accident Insurance Company. D. C. Baxter has resumed the Fish busi- ness, 'and is prepared to supply customers with the freshest and the best the market can afford. . Preparations are being made to give another Dramatic Entertainment early in May. Dr. Adams and wife spent several days in New York last week. . Among the many distinguished persons who have received their education, either wholly or in part, in this town, the eminent statesman'(?) who ended his life in Ludlow Street jail, last week, was not the least no- torious. Otis Sherwood spent a few days in town last week, on a short vacatidn. D. H. Alden will soon occupy his new house. , _' T- 0- Will“. our enterprising painter did the graining in Messrs.

His horse, taking fright at something in the stable jerked him to such an extent as to break his arm. Dr. Benton set it but Mr Brown is suffering much pain. Mrs. Charles Bedient died after a lingering illness, last week. She was buried on Thurs- day. Rev. Mr. Walton officiating. Mrs. Anna Buckley, widow of Aaron B. Buckley departed this life on Thursday at the ripe age of 85 years. She was buried on Saturday, Rev. ~ Mr. Lubkert officiating. Another death, though occuring at a great distance from here, will be read of with interest. The Virginia City Chronicle (Ne- vada) received here, informs us of the death at Pioche, Lincoln Co., State of Nevada, of Colonel Win. A. Dowd. Deceased was a native of Weston, a stone mason by trade, and worked for a long time in Bridgeport. He died at the age of 03 years on the 20th of March.- No less than ten new names were proposed ' as candidates for initiation in the Neversink Lodge, 1. O. G. T. at a late meeting.

' I Let's see, alluding to the Moffattbell punch system for regulating the liquor traffic, if Connecticut should coincide 'with her“ big sister, the state ofVirginia, and; adopt the punch which registers a tax of two and a half cents on every glass sold, Westport would contribute a fine sum to the treasury, and in a short time the savings would so accumu- late that the state would find herself able to pay, from a surplus, if she so chose, a large slice of the public debt. This estimate is based on the supposition that all the West- port drinkers will adhere to their cups, as well as, others throughout the state. West- port has at least 2000 drinkers who take not less than four glasses per day each. These at two and one-half cents per glass, make ten cents a day saved. seventy cents a week, which multiplied into 2000 make $73,000 saved. Inthe state are not less than 250,000 drinkers who tip' the elbow four times a day. This number multiplied by $36.50 gives the magnificent sum of $9,125,000 as one year's savings of the states; Kept up for ten. years the Moffatt punchfwould be the means of earning $182,500,000. . . Tuesday evening last a bright light appear- ed in the east, evidently caused by a burning building. It‘proved to be a dwelling in Greens’ Farms owned by Mr. A. Peffers. Unusual interest,it is expected,will be taken this year in the Easter services which occur next Sunday. A special service at sunrise with music by the children, will be held at Christ church.

' The governor hnving recommended Friday as a day of penitence, fasting, etc» etc, the usual game of base ball will be played during the afternoon. - ‘ Sunday, Aprl1'7th, two gentlemen of edu- cation rcsiding here, became the victims of a huge joke. Somebody told them Mr. C. J. Taylor, of Poplar Plain’s had a four years' old cow with one eye at the top of its head near the horns. A strange freak of nature indeed, and they wondering why- the great Barnum had not heard of it. On the way to Taylor's place the gentlemen refreshed each othel s’ memories with instances of nature's seen, and they resolved that this cow freak was just a little ahead of anything ever known. How fortunate that they were among the first to bring so important a mat- ter to public notice. Hastening their gait they reached Mr. Taylor's at 5 o’clock, and were received with gladness. Making their errand known, they were shown into the sta- ble and saw the cow which was sleek from good keeping- There was the eye at the top of the head near the horns, but an inspection disclosed also, an eye directly opposite, the same as any well-regulated cow has. Noth- ing singular about that, for who ever heard of a cow having eyes that were not at the top of their heads and near the horns ? Had they been sold ? Probably they had, since, when asked the purport of that Sunday’s visit,they essay to answer by way of a blind, that they merely went to call on Jellifie and inspect the trout ponds. The joke leaked out despite their efiox ts to suppress. “PAUL." DAN BURY.

" On Saturday week, the great explosion took place on the property 0 Geo. A. Hoyt, Esq., near-the Cemetery, and another in the Canal, both of which were witnessed by a large dowd of men interested and curious in such matters. About four hundred pounds of the “Vigorite” was placed in the holes drilled to receive it, and in each package was placed a cap of high explosive material, to which was attached two- small insulated copper wires, which in turn were connected with wires from the adjacent holes until there was a complete circuit throu hout. Thelast two wires were connected'wit two leading wires from a magnetic battery placed at a safe distanCe. he electric current passing through small platinum wires in- serted inside of the exploders heats them red-hot and in this way fires the charges. At about two o‘clock, an 80 pound package, which was simply laid on a troublesome rock in the Canal, was fired, and the effect was seen by its lifting a column of water one hundred feet high, in a form of a pyramid, having a base at least thirty feet uare. It was a strange and beautiful sight. he rock was utterly demolished, as an examination proved, and the contractor was much-pleased with the result. Soon after, the heavy charge in the rock on land were discharged, and the scene of confusion and destruction after the upheovel was impressive, and gave unmis- takable proof of the extraordinary power of the new explosive called “Vigoritefi” It was estimated 'by an engineer, on the ground. that five thousand four hundred ton of rock were bloWn out by this one blast, and most of the stone is small enough for ordinary building purposes. To show the reporter for the Advocate the moduli operandl of using the “Vigorite” and its extraordinary power when simply laid on the surface of a rock. Mr. Caler, and a son of the inventor, placed an eight pound pack. age on a hugb boulder near the mouth of the Canal, and connected it with the battery. The explosion was terrific, and the rock was split to its very base and broken in fragments. The power of the Vigorite seems to be down- ward, and hence its usefulnessfor a variety of purposes connected with mining and engu- neeriug.‘ For the breaking of large stone on farms it will be very useful. No drifting is required, and there is no more danger in handling it than ordinary powder. “Vigorite” ordinarily contains 80 per cent. of nitro-glycerine, and the strongest, such as is used under water, 40 per cent. Its manu- facture retains all the power of nitro glycer- ine while it takes away from that treacher- ous material its dangerous qualities. Since the experiment of last week Mr. Caler has ordered a quanity for the Canal, and that useful entrance to Stamford will be cleared of every obstruction. Contrary to expecta- tion the shock caused by the ex lesion was almost imperceptable two hundre yards off. The report was a‘ low, dull thud—Advocate. The Fairfield County Medical Society held its annual meeting, recently, at the Atlantic Hotel, when the following oficers and dele- tes were chosen: President, Doctor E.

The State society must pass upon this action before it canbe of any effect. ——Slandar¢l. Resonant—The residence of Mrs. A. J.
