While fishing for black fish at Tory reef
one day last week, Mr. George Jelliffe hook- ~
ed a great shark which he drew to the sur-
face of the water with his line. A blow
on the head with an oar caused the monster
to give a most unearthly yank (?) at the line,
breaking it and thus making his escape. A
book below that shark’s gills will enable him
to remember his injudicious nibble at J ellifie’s
bait along time. ,
There are boys in this town daily wander-
ing about the streets, engaging in all sorts of
mischief, and in some cases,infiicting damage
to property, whose parents are either ignor-
ant of their conduct or recklessly unmindful
of results. With good schools open, free to
all, there is no excuse for allowing boys so
much freedom. There is a law for the pun-
ishment of truants, and there should be a law
compelling children of a certain age to attend
school. ' , -
Rev. Dr. Sanderson, in his famous sermon
preached May 12th, alluded to those in his
congregation who had written him anony-
mous or other letters as Mr.Blank. He now
proposes to publish the sermon in full with
the letters and real names of the writers. The
perusal of such a document at this time would
cause not only a good deal of squirming
among certain parties belonging to the Con-
gregational church, but would excite public
interest—be matter for popular reading, and
one man in town is so impressed with this
view that he offers to give the doctor $10 for
the MSS. of the sermon. ~
According to ancient legends success with
black fish cannot be assured till after corn has
reached a size large enough to be seen in rows
across the fields. This year is an exception.
Corn is,as yet, only sprouting, but from all
quarters reports of good fishing have been re-
ceived.
Nature smiled Tuesday evening as if de-
signedly; and the Westport Cornet band
and “ Vigilant” Engine company’s torch.
light parade was a pleasing success. The
rapid progress with music made by the hand
of late had induced a desire on the part of the
public to hear them play. Asia consequence
a large number of people assembled at points
on the line of march. The stillness of the
air enabled all to hear to good advantage.
The band injncw uniforms, “Vigilant” En-
gine highly polished and decorated, and the
boys in their tasty dress presented a gay ap-
pearance in the light of the torches. A
halt was made and selections played at
every illuminated house, and there were
many, and, the band won high encomiums
for the splendid rendering of . their pieces.
A graceful act was that performed by Mr.
Elijah S. DoWnes, a member of Compo En-
' gine company, in inviting all hands to his
palatial residence and substantially enter-
taining them there. Indeed the reception
accorded along the whole line bespoke
hearty approbatioa, «and must have been
very encouraging to the baud. After the
parade “ Vigilant” Engine company held a
meeting, when resolution, as follows were
adopted:
“ The members of
company desire publicly to

The front door of the Congregational
church was locked again Sunday, and wor-
shippers entered the sacred edifice by a side
door. This was done, as is alleged, to head,
off Rev. Dr. Sanderson, who, as was feared
by some, would avail himself of any oppor-
tunity to preach. This fear, aftcratime‘
dispelled itself, and the church was opened
to the public, as usual. PA’UL.

Deacon Philander Button, of Greenwich,
died on Tuesday, (2130, in the 07th year of
his age, from the effects of paralysis. He ex-
perienced the first shock nine years ago, but
partially recovered so as to be able to attend
to business. About a year ago he fell and
broke his hip bone, since which time he has
been confined to his house. Up to the time of
his first attack of disease Mr. Button was one
of the well known and most respected citi-
zens of Fairfield county. He was a. native
of North Haven, Ct. ,a self educated boy who
was graduated at Yale at the head of the
class.of 1839. After leaving college he took
charge of the Greenwich academy, of which
he remained principal for twenty-five years,
raising the school- to the front" rank of the
select schools of the State. For, nearly thirty
years he was fiuperintendent of the Sunday
school of the First Congregational church,
and was active in the religious work of the
denomination. He was an easy and forcible
speaker, and his influence has been felt in
many of the Congregational conferences of
the State and in educational circles. He gave
up the work of teaching during the war and
went into business in New York, where he
Was very successful and retired with a com-
petence after a few years. He married a
daughter of Dr. Mead, of Greenwich, and
has lived for years. in the fine mansion which
stands at the summit of “Put’s Hill,” as it is
called—the place made famous by the daring
ride of General Putnam. He has endured
years of painful disease with Christian resig-
nation, and his death willbc sincerely mourn-
ed, not only by his-fellow townsmen, but by
'very many in different parts of the country
who have profited by his skill as an educator.
His funeral took place on Friday afternoon.

The Great Sunday School Parade
The anniversary of the Brooklyn Sunday
School Union was celebrated Wednesday,
With a clear sky and bracing air. The num-
ber of children who took part in the parade
was 50.000. making eight divisions and sev-
eral sub-divisions. Brooklyn presented a
holiday appearance, all the public buildings
being elaborately decked with flags and
streamers, and all the houses along the lines
of the march were hung with flags. The
streets were crowded and bands were heard
in every direction. At the close of _the pa-
rade all the children repaired to their school
rooms where they partook_ of refreshments.
At Prospect Park the division numbered over
ten thousand, with several large bands of
music. The display was the finest ever seen
in this country and was witnessed by nearly
one hundred thousand spectators. ’1 be pro-
cessional march was around the immenseand
beautiful lawn of the Park, and was revrew-
ed by the Mayor and members of the city
g0vernment of Brooklyn, accompanied by
many distinguished people from New Eng-
land and other parts of the country.
