WILTON.

Mrs. Anali Sc ibncr died on Wednesday
last, at the advai ed age of 93 years. She
was the widow of Levi Scribner, and the
youngest child of Nathaniel and Anah .Bene-
dict, and was born and brought up In the
homestead now owned and occupied by Wm.
H. Benedict, Esq, South Norwalk.

A mock tomb-stone was erected in South
Wilton, on Sunday night, dedicated to the
memory of the Highway Surveyor.

 

RIDGEFIELD.

A few days abundant rain has gladdcntd
the heart of the farmer;

Reed llaviland, in separating two fighting
dogs, was badly bitten in the hand. He
now calls to mind all the bad cases of dog
bites he ever heaid of, ant derives poor com-
fort in so doing.

The first Strawberry festival of the season
occurs at the Town, Hall Thursday evening
of this week. It is given by thcladics of
the M. E. Church, all of whom are requested
to be on hand an early hour Thursday morn.
ing with flowers, and to assist in decorating
the Hall. The object is to raise funds to'
refurnisli the parsonage, and _is worthy of
the most earnest effort on the part of the
promoters of the enterprise, and the most
liberal patronage of all friends.

The Methodist quarterly conference will
take place next Satusday :evcning; presiding
elder Fletcher, will preach next Sunday

morning. . .
Rebellion has broken out in the Methodist

- choir, which of course is pleasing to out-

‘siders who dislike to see their neighbors
prospering. It is unpleasant that such an
event should happen especially as all con-
cerned are deeply interested in the harmon-
ious working of the church. The old debt
paid off, a new minister of much more
than ordinary ability, increasing congrega-
tions, the improvement of the parsonage,
all betokened a prosperous future. But Mr.
Platt pleaded guilty to a very sensitive ear
which made discords moat unpleasant to
him, and made him desire the better trained
voices of the choir nearer to him than those
of the congregation. He politely asked the
choristcr to [make the change. He with
part of the choir and the Organ complied
with the request, while the remainder took
their old positions in the gallery, unwilling

to yield the right that choirs proverbially ~

claim, and which the comparative privacy
of the gallery makes it.possible to practice.
It is certainly not a very Interesting sight to
see a church choir seated part at one end
of the church and part at the other.

The rain prevented the Public Improve-
ment Bee last Thursday, but there was a
partial turn out on Saturday and right lustily
didthe volunteers work. There were seven-
teen teams and about fifty men, and over one
hundred dollars worth of work was done.
The ladies providedabountiful dinner in the
Town Hall of which about sixty partook,
with food enough for all and much to spare.

Mr. Taintor and family arrived from New

'ork on Wednesday, and took possession
of Henry Smith’s house.

Geo. Washington Gilbert ,was prosecuted
for slander last week, an operation that wil
not help anyone to a good name. .

Geo. Smith is building a new front fence.

Isaac Osborn is building a convenient ad'_I
dition to his house.

The finishing touches are being put upon
the Dikeman house, and it will soon be ready
for business.

Rev. D. W. Teller‘s History of Ridgcfield
is ready for the press, and as the size of the
edition will be limited to the number of sub-
scribers it is important that all _who desire
a copy should send their names at once. A
copy ought to be in every house, and when
to late many will regret their delay. It ought
to be a matter of town pride that so labo-
rious a work should be liberallyirewarded.

One of our leading citizens entertained, as
his guest, an eminent Doctor of Divinity
from New York lastweek. In driving about
our beautiful town, we took him a few times
about the race track to give the Doctor 0.
little taste of that pleasure which the wick-
ed feel when driving a fast horse on the
track. This new experience probably made
the worthy heavy, ,for in caved two wheels
and divine;andllayman were once on a level—
in the road bed. No bones were broken nor
injury done to man or beast, but the wagon
was a partial wreck. We are told that the
reverend gentleman was highly amused by
the adventure.

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE—In Pladwell’s
window, on North Pearl street, is a nearly
life size 'crayon portrait of a child, son of
Gen. Rufus H. King,in his Fire Island bath-
ing attire. It is drawn from life, and is not
only a perfect, speaking likeness, but a work
of genuine art, reflecting the highest credit

on the artist, Mr. S. G. Todd, of this city.
—Albany Daily Press.

Mr. Todd, was for some timearesident
of Ridgefield, but now is established in A1-

bany, N. Y. _
White, of the Danbuiy News, has been

down skirmishing for news, and beats your
correspondent all to hollow in picking up
items. It is only another proof of the advan-
tage an expert has over an amtaeur.

R. R. Keeler is doing a great amount of
improving in the way of walls, this spring.

Rev. D. D. Bishop has preached a num-

$5,150 pledged, or $1.650 more than needed.
Stamford can take the banner.

No observance of Decoration day.

A German named Baireuthcr, recently

three months trip to Europe. .
A'policeman tried to catclba milk thief,
but the man was too fast for him. He fired
five shots at him, and thinks two took effect,

Memorial exercises were held at the Opera
House, instead of at the Park, on account
of the rain. The processron marched overs
portion of the line of March prevrously laid
out. The soldiers’ graves were decorated
by committees. Dwight Morris delivered
an address and Rev. H. N. Powers read an

WESTPORT.

Christ church is to be repaired, and the
frescoes on the walls retouclicd.

. The elegant residence which Mr. J \illllCS
Fillow will soon complete and occupy at
Poplar Plains, will menace some of its an-
cient neighbors, and be likely to invite them
to improve their appeal-fine and surround-
ings.

Easterly winds and rain at times for sever-
al days can safely be set down as thc‘nnual
May Sheep storm.

Mr. John N. Betts has at his store speci-
mens of fine Bonair rock salt,——alI that re-
mains of 6.000 bushels purchased by him in
1860 for the Westport market. Alluding to
the wholesale trade of this town today as
compared with what it was twenty years ago,
Mr. Betts says it is very insignificant,-—tliat
business here is as nothing compared with
what it was there. He states that in the ac-
tive period of his mercantile life be thought
nothing of buying twenty hogshcads of sug—
ar and the same quantity of molasses at once,

I

- and that he found little difficulty in disposing

of those large purchases. Among his ventures
was 500 barrels of flour bought on speculation
and sold shortly after at a good profit. He
claims there is no one man in town at. _. this
time who can muster courage enough or see
his way clear in transactions so large as those
mentioned.

It is reported that more than one thousand
salmon, some of them of large size. have be. It
caught in the Connecticut river the present
season. When the fact that not a single sal-
mon had been taken from the river during
the sixty years previous to the present is
considered, the work in the artificial fish pro-
pagation performed by the Westport Trout
Association which led to this result must be
gratifying.

Renewed interest in the subject of fish cul-
ture by men in all parts of the state is mani-
festin g itself now that success is assured. Dr.
Hudson of the State Fish Commission, in a
recent letter to Mr. E. M. Lees, of this place
says, “I well recollect what an enthusiasm
you infused into the committee on fisheries
as chairman in 1873, and it is an actual fact
that the $5,000 appropriated that year paid
for the e. from which the salmon now
coming into the river were hatched. I am
sorry to say that my attempt to protect them
until 1880 failed by reason of the opposition of
those same fishermen at, and near the mouth
of the river. I sincerely hope that we may
have some such man as yourself for chair-
man of the committee on fisheries next win-
tcr, as matters of the greatest importance will
come before that committee.

If the report that the Russian government
is seeking to purchase the steam yacht Ibis;
Capt. Charles Fairchild, now on the Marine
Railway at Gregory’s Point, is true, we are
about to lose, and the Russians will gain one
of the prettiest crafts which ever floated in
these waters.

Two services were held Sunday at the
Congregational church, a clergyman from
out of town officiating.

Mr. George J ellifl’s marble bust of Mr
Morris Ketchum- is finished after about three
months of labor. It proves to be aspeaking
likeness which is the best compliment possi-
ble to be paid the artist who is an amateur.
The pose of the figure is so correct that one‘
on looking at it can readily fancy himself in
the presence of the original, and the work in
detail will bear closest inspection. The size
is a trifle smaller than life. The hicck from
which it was out came from ' a Vermont
quarry, and its quality compares well with
fine 1talian marble.

“He who causes two blades of grass to
grow where only one grew before, is a friend
to humanity.” Such an one is W. H.
Staples who has transformeda swampy rocky
waste on the depot road into a fertile field.
from which more than an average crop of
corn is likely to mature this year.

Saturday night the store of Messrs Hub-
bell & Wakcman, at Saugatnck, was broken
into by burglars who forced an entrance
through a sidedoor. They failed to bore
with augurs through an inner door, though
they made a bad looking door of it, and
hence did not succeed in reaching the safe,
or getting money. They left the premises
hastily and did not take with them a large
blacksmith’s file, a chisel, and brace and bit,
with which they had hoped to break in and
secure booty.

Mr. L. Z. Burns became Westport’s sher-
iff’s deputy Saturday.

A member of the New Haven county bar
has been disbarred for a year, by sentence of
Judge Carpenter, for a “grossly improper use
of legal process." The judge in pronouncm g
the sentence which followed the finding of a
committee, says of the wrong action that “it
was instituted and carried on in violation of
the plain provisions of the statute and mani-
fcstly for the purpose of defeating the ends of
justice. Such conduct by a sworn officer of
the court will not be tolerated, but calls for
substantial punishment.” The decision and
sentence will be accepted as eminently sound,
but what would become of a certain promi-
nent portion of the bar if the rule were to be
rigidly enforced and all lawyers disbarred
who sell their services to criminals ‘fmanifest-
ly for the'purposc of defeating the ends of
justice.” This is a very solemn thought—-
Courant.

A Sneonsrivn Rania—That was a happy
response of General Grant’s when at Jerusa-
lem. A committee of citizens came out to
meet him and to tender him a public recep-
tion. He replied, "Not in sight of the
Mount of Olives.” The incident recalls the
remark of Douglas Jerrold, who, when told
by a Red Republican in Paris that Lonis
Blane was next to Christ, naively asked,
“Which side ?"—Harpers.

Democratic Economy.

The National Capital is full of the marvels
of- Democratic economy, says the Republwa 12.
Take the Patent-Office Building as one specr-
men. There is the wreck of a conflagration
which occurred nearly eight months ago, and
Congress has been in session for more than
seven months, and yet no provrsion has been
made for restoring and preserving that yalua-
ble to ert . _

The}; aygain, the Patent-Office affords
another remarkable instance of Democratic
wisdom and economy. The Commissioner
of Patents estimated for hisBureau for the
year ending June 20, 1878, for an apngopri-
ation of $105,000. and Congress appropri-
ated the sum of $60,000. This appropriation,
under a constant increase of the work, ran
out about the lst of last April. The Coin:
miSsioncr then asked for a deficiency'ot
$40,000, and the Secretary of the Interior
asked for a deficiency of some $30,000. _ To
meet both deficiences Congress appropriated
$30,000, to be disposed of as he might de-
termine. Under the division the Patent-
Officc received less, than one-third of this
amount, which lasted for about three weeks,
and now the work of the office is at a stand-
still. The patent specifications are increasmg
at the rate of 300 per week, with some 500
on hand at the time or the suspension. While
this parsimony may be aimed at a Depart-
ment of the Government, its worst conse-
quences fall upon the inventors throughout
the country. The patentees, under a rule
,of the Patent-Office, must pay the fees in
advance. This money is now lying idle in
the Treasury, and the patcntees can neither
get their money nor their _pat_cnts. This is
Democratic economy and justice.

“ISN‘T IT LovaLY ?"—A dry good clerk on
Main street was showing alady some parasols
yesterday. Thc'clerk has a good command ,of
language, and knows how to expiatc on the
good qualities and show the best point of
goods. As is picked up a parasol from the
lot on the counter and opened it, he struck an
attitude of admiration and holding it up so
the best light would be had, said:

“Now there. Isn‘t it lovely ? Look. at
that silk! Particularly observe the quality,
the finish, the general effect. Feel of it.
Pass your hand over it. No 'fOOIlSIlllCSS
about that parasol, is there ?:’ he said, as he
handed it over to the lady; “amt it abeauty?”

“Yes,” said the lady, stuffing her handker.
chief into her mouth,“yes, that’s my old one,
I just laid it down there." _ .

The clerk was immediately seized With a
severe attack of quickencd conscience, and
passed right off of the subject of parasols on
tothe weather.-—Keolmlc Constitulwn.

 

. WESTON.

The week that is past was characterized by
an abundance of rain. It came down in tor-
rents on Thursday and Friday, and after a
short interval, on Saturday, again. On the
Sabbath, however, it was quite clear and
pleasant in the forenoon and early part of the
afternoon. The Congregational church was
filled very fairly with a seemingly, very ap-
preciaive audience. We have been request-
ed to state that the sermon was by the pastor,
Rev. E. Lubkert, on this important subject,
“Practical Atheisms or without God in the
world.”

The addition of the Misses Walton, Miss
Jessie Coley, and Mr. Clark to the Congrega-
tional choir, is a very valuable one. In the
absence of Miss Louisa Jarvis, Miss Sarah
Bradley prciided at the organ. There were
flowers on the table. The Episcopal services
at Lyon’s Plains were well attended in spite
of the misty weather.

Mrs. C. Porter has returned to town after a
protracted absence in New Jersey and Phila-
dclphia.

The students of the Military Academy are
gttting ready for the final examination and
closing exercises on the 20th inst. Four
young gentlemen will go to New York this
week to try their luck in old Columbia. Pro-
fessors Cole and Lubkert are busy (day and
night about) to get them in proper trim for
this most decisive and important crisis of
their seliolliistic life The commandant of the
Cadet Battalion, Mr. Fred. Covin, has offered
his resignation which was accepted. Com-
mand given for the present to Adjutant Geo.
Barber. The old and real major, C. A. 'Cbap-
pcl], will take command on the 8th inst.—
Glad of it. very; thus say the boys; thus say
the faculty.

Decoration day passed 00' without any
demonstrations whatever.

Mr. Joseph Bradley, formerly of Brooklyn,
but at present occupying the fine house on
Church Hill, deserves the thanks of the
Westonifcs for improving the grounds near

the church and around it. By the way,tbcse
church grounds from which you can see our
noble sound in all its glory bid fair at no dis-
tant day to become one of the most attractive

features of Weston. Already the trees plant-
ed some years ago commence to cast their

shade, and these grounds together with those
opposite and those of General Jarvis, below
the hill, form a most attractive ,and pleasing
scenic group.

Mr. Theodore Heinscr, second engineer on
the fine Hamburg steamer, Leipsic, was on.a
short visit at the parsonage.

Mr. IV. Crofut succeeded in shooting. be-
sides some other obnoxious animals, a rac-
coon that had been for, some time devastat-
ing his fields.

Sunday night when the inhabitants of the
parsonage were about to retire they were
startled by some strange rattling at the doors-
The good domine looked in vain for those

who made the disturbance, but discovered
nothing except someone skulking away in the

darkness. Tramps?

The Ladies’ Mite Society, of the Congrega-
tional church, met last Wednesday afternoon
and appointed Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Joseph
Godfrey a committee to have the interior of
the church painted. In their efficient hands
we look for good results.

Messrs. D. L. Coley and N. B. Johnson
were duly elected delegates to the approach-
ing Sunday school convention at Middletown
and will probably go on Wednesday.

The Literary Society will meet on Tuesday
the 4th inst, at the residence of Mrs. Coley
near the Episcopal church.

The gospel temperance prayer meeting was
held at the residence of Mr. John Sturgcs. It
was more than well attended, literally full.

In the absence of the chaplain of Neversink
Lodge,lllessrs. Pbilander Fairchild and War-
ren Bradley conducted the meeting much to
the satisfaction of those present. There is
some talk, whether true or not we cannot dc-
cide, of the organization of another lodge of
Good Tcmplars in the vicinity of Valley
Forge. Right 1 Go ahead. There can nev-
er be too many. Only move with prudence
and caution and—faith, hope and charity.
The Rev. Mr. Stcbbcns, of North Wilton,
lately exchanged pulpits with Rev. Mr. Lub-
kert, and preached two most powerful and
instructive sermons.

Mr. and Mrs. Finch, of Jamesburgh,N. J .,
were in town and attended the services at the
Congregational church.

Mr. Bollwitz is really doing something
wonderful in the way of putting up a nice
and commodious house on his premises. And
