The funeral of the late 0. M. Bennett tool:
place Wednesday afternoon last, from Memo,
rial church. In the absence of Rev.- A. N.
Lewis, the rector, Rev. Jno. R_.'Wilham8 of
Christ church conducted the seerces. Every
seat in the edifice was filled. The attendance
of‘hged people, there being not less than four
0ch eighty years old, was noticeably large.
At the close of the burial service, Rev. Mr.
‘ Williams, without choosing a text, spoke ex-
tcmporaneously in substances as follo'Ws, ex-
pressing some thonghts appropriate to the oc-
casion, comparing lives of men to the stars
which shine from a reflected light, some con-
tinuing longer than others, but all shining
with greater or less brilliancy. His star which
had just set had maintained its place in the
firmament far beyond most of its fellows.
One by one, stars drop from their orbits .or
are obscured, but the greater luminary which'
gave them light, shines on. The life of de-
ceased had been an uneventful one. His
more than 90 years, and who among those
present could spnnzthat vast period, had been,
passed in Westport near the .- spot. where he
was born. An unostentatious life had his
been, yet how prolific in lessons of wisdom
for those surviving. During his quiet and
protracted sojourn here, nearly gall the events
which marked the birth, progress and devel-
opment of one of the mightiest of civilized
nations had transpired. The interment took
place at the family vault in the “Old Ceme-
etery,” near the residence of Mr. George S.
Adams, where repose the ashes of many
whose names are familiar to our older citi-
zens—Ozias Marvin, Barnabas Marvin, Ma-
bel and Lucy Marvin. 1 Squire Raymond,
Captain Samuel Burwell‘ and 'wife, Captain
Judah, of noted social fame ; General Henry
Judah, 'of the regular army; David Lord and
wife, and others. ' '

Mr. Horace Staples met with a mishap,
Wednesday. He was looking after some
property interests of the First National Bank
of which he is president, near what is known
as Kelly‘s mill, .when his feet slipped from
under him and he was precipitated into the
raceway leading to the mill wheel. The wa-
ter was running at a rapid rate. Happily the
wheel was at rest, and two 'men seeing his
perilous situation went to the rescue. Aside
from wet garments which so unexpected a
bath entails, no injury was done. Mr. Sta-
ples was taken to his home in Mr. E. W
Taylor’s carriage. ,
Mr. E. L. Champlin, of New York, a prac-
tical and observing man connected with the
U. S. Post Office Department, while visiting
Westport for the first time, a few days since,
was struck with the town’s beauty as a place
of residence—its admirable situation for bus-
iness, and the evident thrift of its people.
Up to that moment he had been among those
forming opinion .of its size and importance
by what can be seen from car windows while
passing through it by rail, naturally conclud- -
ing that pleasant little Saugatuck, its factories
and tempting breathing spots, was all there
was to Westport. After discovering the
manifest crrcr into which he had fallen, he
respectfully asked how it was that, when the.
railroad was built, an effort was not made to 1.
have the road to pass through the village in-'
stead of being located nearly two miles away.
He was told that the projectors were anxious
to have their road near the village.ccnter, but
a handful of capitalists who thought they
represented the financial, as well as social in-
terests of the town, fought the proposition
with bitterness, on the ground that the peace
of their family firesides would be disturbed
by the racket of passing trains; and further,
in the belief that the road’s presence would
depopulate the place, forced. the railroad
company to fix their line where it now is.
Mr. Champlin thought a greater mistake
could not have been made. But for that op-
position, in his opinion, Westport might new
number 10,000 instead of less than 4,000 in-
habitants. In reply to the question, “What
has become of the' influential yet sensitive
families who once wielded the power Which ‘
has preved So detrimental," he was told they
had all, savejone,‘passcd away, their boaSted
wealth scattered to the four winds, and their
places were filled by'men who regret the want
of foresight on the part of their predecessors.

marriage, recorded in your paper, last week.
WANTED a HUSBAND—Willimantic is the
place to look for a wife; the girls there are
so accommodating, that if you fall in love
with some one and, from some prior engage-
ment, or other cause, she finds it inconven-
ient to many on j she will look up another
that will. 'A illimiintic Miss wrote the
following words. “Wanted; a husband,”
accompanied by her address upon a spool in
one of the factories in that place. The silk
was then wound upon the spool and it was
sent among many others to a shoe factory in
South Norwalk. Here a Bidgefield gentle-
man chanced to see it after the silk had been
removed, cud at once took a fancy to address
the maiden; she at once responded and they
corresponded for some time, until she at
length disclosed the startling fact that she
was already engaged, but would provide
him with one as good. She did so, and to
all appearances her kind offices were accept-
ed with a relish as we saw their names
among the list of marriages last week.

One , would sup _ - that Con an
‘Warner would feel rather ashamed of his
conduct in making an assault on the person
of Mr. Byington, for certainly any gentleman,
were he so' unfortunate as to be aggravated
into a quarrel on the street, would, upon rc-
.flection be heartily ashamed of himself. But
Mr. Warner is not ashamed, not a bit, he
makes no apolbgy to the community for in-
sulting it, but, on the contrary boasts of his
‘fisticufis, and publishs“cards" to show that
Byington was worsted in the fight. He ap-
pears tobe perfectly oblivious of the fact,
.that What little of reputation and character
he had, he has now thrown away. The
Hartford Courant thinks that “Mr. Warner
ought to know‘that even if he had knocked
out Byington’s teeth, gouged out one of his
eyes, and “chawed” off an ear, the public
would still consider that the man who began
the assault was the greatest sufferer, so far as
reputation and character are concerned.

Sacred Concert in Weston.
‘ ' The members and friends of the Congre-
gational Church at Weston, Conn., on Sun-
day, July fiist, were favored with a musical
treat. A quartette was made up from the
guests of General flarvis' Hotel, consisting of
Miss- Bartlett, Soprano; Miss Sophia Maurer,
contralto; Dr. Bartlett, tenor; Mr. F. L.
’Condit, basso‘all from New York and
Brooklyn. They were assisted by Miss Emma
Bigelow, ,organist, and Prof. Ives, of Dan-
bury, cornetist. Some fine selections were
giv'en, consisting of quartettes and solos.
The musical part of the service was very
fine, and" consisted of the quartettes “The
Lord is My Shepherd," from ' Milliard’s col-
lection, audi‘In’spirer and Hearer of Prayer,”
followed by acornet solo by Prof. Ives, “The
Sweet Bye, and-Bye.” Everybody was de-
lighted and so expressed themselves.
3‘ In'the evening, 'on the lawn'in- front of the
hotel, a sacred concert was given. consisting
of vocal and instrumental music. Prof. Ives
and orchestra; favored the audience with,
seme‘j fine selections, and they were all in
keeping with the day. The vocal part of
the concert was very fine, composing quar-
tettcs and solos and congregational singing.
Thquuartettes were “Come, Holy Spirit,"
by Peacock; a solo, “Jesus Lover of My
Soul,” sung byMr. Condit, the composer; a
comet solo, “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” .by

The most careful reader of your valuable
columns must have failed to discover therein
any notice whatev , of the young and vigor-
ous club, known here as the Pasters, whose
exploits have filled all this portion of Fair-
field Count , with delight, with admira-
tion and big sounding praise. It is possible
that our fame has not as yet reached your
city, nevertheless we feel that it's time you
knew- us, and that we received some notice
at your hands. If as' some contend, our
favors are like “Emma‘s, fragile" our grasp
like hers "Is inferior to none, and it’s quite
safe to say, that we “can rest” bats with the
best ball club in the country Our games
thus far have been practice games only, and
they you know make perfect. Some parties
who have witnessed these games, were so
filled with admiration, that they requested
us to add Lambasters to our present cogno-
men, but at a full meeting, our club voted
this proposal down upon the sole ground
that Pasters and Lambasters would be to
long for our name and perhaps tend to deter
other clubs from sending us their challenge,
whereas now they can simply address Pas-
ters, P. O. Boleo, Darien Conn., and re-
ceive prompt (in) attention from us. Candor
compels us to admit that our nine is not
now quite full, but applicants for admission
to membership are so numerous, that “we
see them on their winding way and about
their ranks the moonbcams play.” But they
must have other qualifications besides moon.
beam players. They must be ball players of
the first order to gain admission into our
glorious nine, otherwise we shall remain in-
complete and'rely upon such muscle as we
now possess. However, we have no fears in .
regard to our soon being a full and complete
nine and then—0h! then look wild ye ball
players and beware 1 Beware I and take care i
for the Pastors will be awake and eager for
the fray, but the battle must be fought some

Joseph Rose, a junk dealer who .went to

A very sad affair occurred at Li hthouse
Point, Thursday. 'Mr. and Mrs. ohn J
Donaher and three children, of Fair Haven,
went to the'Point to spend the day. About
one o’clock dinner was spread in a grove
wherein there were scattered about not less
than one hundred persons. , Suddenly a five-
years old daughter of the Donahers was
struck in the head by a bullet, and died in a
few hours. It seems that H._M-. Lane, a
cripple, had established a shooting range
near by, at which a small rifle, firing 22-100
cartridges, was used. There was not a prop-
er butt to receive the balls, and thus the
accident occurred.

A loud call for Congressman Warner's
resignation comes from the Norwalk Demo-
crat, which says it is entirely unnecessary for
him to announce that he is not a candidate
for re-electionl It adds that“the only course
now open to him by which he can in the
least atone to his disgraced constituency for
hisconduet is for him to immediately send
in his resignation to Governor Hubbard and
permit them to elect a decent man to repre.
sent them for the balance of the term.” It
seems that Warner's fray with Mr. Byington
is not the first he has been engaged in.
Some years ago Warner drew a pistol upon a
man at New Canaan and attemped to fri ht-
‘cn him from performing some duty. ne
of Phil Sheridan’s ex-troopers stepped up to
"the beligerent Warner and told him that if
he didn’t put up that little pop gun he would
smash his-°-——head. Warner put up the pop
gum—NPH. Palladium.

the westof it with a view of4turning the
water of the river into Croton lake and'there-

ork have we plansunder consideration
for carrying out the project. The first line
starts from the neighborhood of Falls Village
and by a short canal takes [the ‘Sater 10
Sharon, connecting these “with a' brook
through Which!” Water can be carried to a
level, from this point by a canal to the Cro-
ton river at Pawling, and from there to
Croton lake. The second plan is to begin a
canal near Cornwall, which isomtlic river,
and run it through the gap- made by Three
Mile” River to the head of Croton .lake, 9.
distance of._ twenty-five miles. The third
project is to begin operations at the gap on
the Housato'nic, a distance often miles from
the Croton, and pump the water to a suffi-
cient height, from which a canal may be run
to Crotpu lake. The estimated cost of the
improvement is $15,000,000. Should the
project be decided upon it is not expected
that the work will be commenced under five
years.

Cattle Disease in;Watertown, Ct.
The Watertown "correspondent of the
Waterbury -Anwfican says :—Some weeks
ago we stated that a large. number of cows
had diedfrom some unknown disease, most
of them leaving calves from one to three
days pld' The disease seems to have taken a
new form. In some instances the head is
affected and in others it is the lungs Some
cough and others can scarcely walk. Thur-
man Smith, who has one of the best dairies
in town, was unable to get a pint of milk
from his best cow the other evening, and she
has not given that much since. He had
another one taken, the disease being more in
the head. He bored her horns and put-in
turpentine, which caused her to discharge
such filthy stuff that he had to turn away.
Colonel Atwood has two or three similarly
affected. Dr. Bland, of Waterbury, pro~
nounces the disease asort of cpizootic,such as
prevailed among the horses a few years ago,
We believe the theory tube a correct one.

- 11 extra of the Norwalk Gazette of July

upon Hon. A. H. B ington, one of its

the Fourth district in the last Congress.
Mr. Warner took offense at some editorial
strictures upon his financial acts and char-
acter, and first attempted to defend himself
by the pen; but finding that it was a dau-

In a recent talk with Thur10w Weed we
find the following:
Mr. Weed took great interest in the
Moody and Sankey meetings held two
years ago in Gilmore’s Garden. Of his
religious experience he said: “The influence
of the Moody and Sankey meetings remains.
I believe that I am happier and a better man
for them, and I think the same can be said
by thousands of people in this city. I had
thought considerably on the subject of re-
ligion before Moody and Sankey came.
During the last winter I have been much in-
held in LParcpa Hall, Yorkville, Sunda af-
ternoons. I never speak at meetings. am
not afit man for that, and make no profes-
sions.”
The democratic party is in an unfortunate
condition on the currency question. In New
York and all the New England States, and in
most of the Southern States, there are enter-
tained sound theories on financial questions.
In the west the democrats seem to have gone
crazy and to have no actions on the subject
which are not too absurd for discussion.
What the result will be no man" can foretell.
Perhaps there may bea new division of the
voters on new party lines, and a total sinking
of the issues of the war. If so, the present
craze on the subject of cheap money, will but
be without a redeeming feature,y};,‘chmond

Isaac Freilander, who is described as the
Grain King of the Pacific, is a resident of
San Francisco. He is of Hebrew parentage,
gaunt, awkward, and remarkably tall. He‘
has been in business nearly twenty years,and
has annually shipped threequarters of the
California wheat crops to England. He fail-
ed a few weeks ago, with liabilities estimated
at $2,000,000, but wheat advanced and he
was able to compromise with his creditors.

ONE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.—Olle Mar-
cellus E. Thornton, of Atlanta, announces to
the people of the Fifth District of Georgia
"that he is a candidate for Congress, but with
this declaimer : “I am not over-anxious to be
a member of Congress. It is no very great
honor. The honor comes only from what a
man makes of himself as a member; and that
may be much or nothing."
The positive refusalof Congressman Frank
Jones to acce ta reuomination is a serious
blow to the ow Hampshire democrats, in-
volving the gain of a district by the republi-
cans. Jones is a very wealthy man and was
elected solely on the strength of his money,—

Avoid idleness, and fill up all the spaces of
thy time with severe and useful employment;
for lust easily creeps in at its emptiness
where the soul is employed, and the body
is at ease; for no easy, healthful, idle person
was ever chaste if he could be tempted. But
of allemploy'ments, bodily labor is the most
useful, and of the cutest benefit for drivin
away the devil. eremy Taylor. .

Hon. Levi Warner pcrsistantly publishes
statements to show that in the rencontre be-
tween himself and Mr. Byington he, came
off the victor. Weeonfess our surprise at
this course of the honorable gentleman, as
by it he] manifests the weakness that he con-
siders his pugilistic powers a source of pride
to himself and of interest to his constituenc .
He never made a greater mistake in his ii 9,
andwhether he whipped Byington or By-
ington whipped him will not add to his rep-
utation as a gentleman or'statesman; The
people know, that he was the aggressor, and
if he had knocked Byington completely out
of time, the latter wOuld have had the re-'
s t of decent people, and have stood before
em most respected. No disgrace attaches
to Byington in the affair. He acted in self
defense, and if he had severely injured the
congr man, as he says he might, he would
have een justified. But it is foolishness,-
rn the first place, for the congressman to put
in a similar plea, and the silliness for him.
to boast that he assaulted and castigated a
political opponent. He has gained notorit ,
ut of such a character that does not a d
to his popularity or standing as a gentleman
Our advice to the congressman is to keep
still, if he has nothing more ennobling to
say—Sentinel. -‘ - ~ . - '
