The Norwalk Mills Company commenced to work full time at their Mills recently much to the gratification of their help and the trades-people generally. Road Surveyor Bundle, is putting that piece of road between J. B. Orcutt's store and the bridge in 'good repair. .It has long needed it. . ' j The teachers for the, District School have been engaged for the coming year as fol- lows: Mr. A. F. Beers, for the Grammar Department, and Miss Julia M. Pickett for the Intermediate Department, both of whom have given satisfaction in their respective places during the past year. In the primary there is to be a change, Miss Clara F. Hull retires to administer to the wants of an > in- . valid mother, and is to he succeeded by Miss Hattie Clark, of Silver Mine. The Mechanics Library Association have ‘ recently added new books to their Library, and have had a large quantity of their old ones neatly repaired. The work was sub- stantially and neatly done by Ozias Camp, Esq., of the Apprentices Library of New York. A deciple of Izak Walton has lately aston- ished the natives hereabouts by securing 41h eels out of the upper mill pond. The Winmpauk House has again changed hands. David Stirling retired on Saturday last, and the place was turned over to its former proprietor, Walter Armstrong. Mrs. Geo. Cleveland proposes to lay aside - the busy cares of life, for a week, and re- ' create at Hempstead, L. I. J. C. Randle has scooped in Coney Island twice this season and threatens to “do it some more." Work on the new road to Wilton is being actively pushed forward, which promises an early completion. The regular monthly concert of the Sun- day School was held on Sunday evening last. The exercises were interesting and pleasing. Mr. Starr and Mr. Harlem of the borough were present, and took part in the exercises. The Rev. A. Lathbury and his estimable lady were also present and were kindly greeted by old friends. A gentleman visitor from New York also kindly lent his aid to interest and instruct. N. RIDGEFIELD. Last week was decidedly unpleasant. Warm, wet and foggy. A rainy night prevented a large gather-, ing at the, festival, Friday evening. Those who were brave enough to face the storm, were fortunate in gaining an opportunity of hearing very fine music. The Mutual Cornet Band fairly outdid themselves, while no words could overpraise the playing of Ives' Band. Their selections were finally adapted to the Hall, and very creditably rendered. It was thought best to continue the Festival Saturday evening, but that also proved very unpromising in the early part. still a somewhat :larger number gathered at the Hall than on Friday, and a good time was enjoyed. The financial result was con. siderable less than proceeding years. - Sunday evening like its predecessor was most beautiful. Over four hundred persons were in the'audience that heard Rev. Mr. Platt’s temperance sermon. It wasa very fine address, and calculated to make a deep impression onhis eearersa No announcement was made of future meetings. ' The annual meeting of the Local Improve- ment Association will be held at' the Town House, on Wednesday, Aug 28th at 2 r. n. The address will ..be given by H. W.R. Hoyt, Esq, of Greenwich. Mr. Hoyt isa native of Ridgefield, and has the reputation of being a very interesting speaker. The public are invited to be present. David Smith, of Scotland, died Sunday. He was another instance of great longevity for which this town is noted, dying at the ri of 90 years. _ p53: a party from Brooklyn. formerly parishioners of Mr. Platt, spent Sunday in town, guests of C.

The past week, like human life was made up of showers and sunshine. Most of the time very close and sultry, but Sunday we hada beautiful, clear air, which helped to make the day very enjoyable. Rev. Mr. Milne, from Brooklyn, exchanged with Mr. Northrop, of the, Congregational church, and delivered an entertaining dis- course from the words, “And they forsook all and followed him.” Our little village is very lively now; so many people from the city coming to make their summer residence here makes it'very pleasant, for us, at least. Hope it will prove so to them. The entertainment at Bennett's Hall, last week, was a decided success. The programme was good and well executed, and notwith- standing the weather threatened rain, there from, admitted they got their money's worth. It has been suggested to have it repeated. ' Mr. Henry Lee, of this place, died sudden- ly last Saturday, after about ten hours' sick- ness. Surely "in the midst of life we are in death." M. ..____ DARIEN. Several notable events have transpired in this city during the past ten days that seem to require a passing notice at your hands. The first one Was the annual pic nic of the Sunday school connected with the Sixth (Jon- gregati‘onal Church, situated in the fifteenth ward of our city. It was celebrated at Ro- ton Point, by the children, their parents and teachers, on Wednesday, of last week. The day was of the‘most delightful description, one we often read about, but seldom see, and all of our young folks, as well as the elder members of the school, the church and the congregation, enjoyed the perfect day, and rich repast provided for the refreshment of the inner man, to which ample justice was done. The day passed away without acci- dent of any kind or any drawback whatever to the perfect happiness and enjoyment of all, and they returned home thankful for pleas- ures bestowed upon them and grateful be- cause salling and-bathing parties came home safe andsound, without a single event to‘mar the joyfulncss of the occasion. Let us hope that those who shall again celebrate in the coming year, may be alike fortunate. The secdnd event of importance is, the building of alarge and beautiful school house, for the accommodation of the school known hereasNo. 8, also located in the fifteenth ward. The old building having proved far too, the new one before mentioned, has been erected upon other grounds, and is now nearly completed and will be opened with appro- priate exercises next month. The old build- ing was sold at auction last week and will be mpved away by the purchaser, and thus leaVe the oblong square upon which it stood free and clear for our Park Commissioners, who propose to lay out a small, but beautiful park in landscape garden style. Although small, it will be quite ornamental to part of car beautiful city. Among those who seemed anxious to purchase the old building, there was a young man, who, if not a descendant of “Mrs.Toodles,” seemed to act upon her for, and what possible use he could make of it," replied, “I thought perhaps some day I might get married, and in case I should have children and some day should remove to the far west, that a school house might come handy and be a good article to have ready to put up, for the use of my own children." Well that certainly was looking well ahead and as reasonably so as Mrs. Toodles purchase of a door plate with the name of “Thomson” thereon, which would come in play, “when her daughter should be grown up and mar- ried to a man having that identical name.” The young man did not, however, succeeed , as the building was knocked down to an older man, and must try again, for “If you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Our third, and most pleasing event was the “Musical Reception” on Wednesday evening of this week ’at Darien Opera House, corner of Irving Place and Fourteenth street, to the satisfaction of 'the' Sunbeams, and also the delight of their audience. They were assist- ed by musical talent from South Norwalk and also from “West End" of Darien. The afiair passed of with eclat, and every song, as well as every piece performed, was rapturously received by the elite of this vicinity, who graced the occasion by their presence. Among those who were thus received, it may be well to mention the names of those kind enough to come here and add their musical talents to the merits __of the exercises. The South Norwalk Glee Club, composed of Messrs. Baxter, Booth, Tolles, Mchhae and Miss Bird as player of accompaniments, were among the number,as were also Messrs. Fitch,; Hull and Miss Bishop from West End, all of ‘ whom aided, and added zest to the occasion, as well also as Miss Schnell, of South Nor- walk, and Mr. Brown. late of same place,‘r but now a resident of New Haven, who must: not be forgotten, for they too delighted the audience. And. now to sum it all up let me say, the music was first-class. and good enough for anybody, as also was the cream, the par- taking of which was optional and every per- son was at perfect liberty to have music and cream, or cream and music, or the cream of music alone, as they preferred. Among the various decorations upon the walls of our -beantifnl hall, there was one in foreign lan- . gauge, of the text “God is love," and the dif- ferent readings given to it were numerous, but one of them seemed to look somewhat like it, viz., “Quiuine Pills, 2 Grains.” Our Sunbeams are organized as helpers to foreign missions, and are charming young females, who enter heart and soul into their work, and every way worthy of patronage, especially when they give such‘ a pleasant entertainment for the reasonable price of 25 cents, they are richly worth double the price paid for admis- sion. Let us cherish the hope, that their next musicale may prove as good and receive better patronage. It is, perhaps, snperfious. to add that the proceeds of the entertainment will be devoted to the cause of missions. It was intended to make a passing notice of our city affairs, and some mention made of our Commissioners of Public Works. streets, parks and docks, but the limit of your time and patience will hardly permit such remarks at this time and besides the Commissioners of Docks are now consider- ing a gigantic work in their department, which, however, is for the present, sub row, and must not be divulged by me, as my in- formation came in the most sacred and con- fidential manner, and there must beno breach of confidence on my part. It is,’however, permissable to mention the fact, that the rock blasting will be very extensive, so much so that it is estimated that every man, woman and child in this city will be able to have their “pockets full Of rocks'f—a desirable and agreeable 8W0. especially When one is very dry and feels the want of Soda—plain—ahd without anything therein stronger than "Jer. sey lightning" which, as a drink, will, as you know, kill at the distance of forty rods. More at present cannot be told, but at some future day. I may a tale unfold and give you the points regarding the great contem- plated improvement in this portion of our state. Until then, rest your soul in patience.

When Mr..11ezekiah Lyon, head tailor _in D. A. Sal *&Co.’s‘clothing establishment exclaimed t‘ Saturday night, week,— “There ! Uncle Fred Morehouses’s wedding outfit is done ;" he did so with a degree of satisfaction not often experienced under sim- ilar circumstances. The words had scarcely been uttered when low whisperings were heard among clerks and cnstOmers in the store, which interpreted meant that either a . *veryjarge rat was smelled in the premises, or a cat of some size had been let out of the bag, For months previous to this incident, there had been speculations all over the village _as to what the movements of Uncle Fred in company witha youthful and good looking lady, by the name of Barnum, meant. '_Ru- mors Were rife all along that he was about to marry the lady. These rumors were strength- ened by the fact that the two were so often seen riding together, and, at regular intervals he was at her house, or she at his. Indeed. if appearances were worth anything, a mutu- al attachment, fast ripening into love, had sprung up between them. The gossips who know all things long before the rest of the world begin to suspect, said they had grounds for believing the two would make a é‘go" of it, for the reason that he had said, “just so soon as hay and harvest are over; I'm going to travel all over the.country and enjoy my- self." Both parties having plenty of money and standing high socially, curiosity was heightened day by day to know What the up2 shot of the courtship would be. So slyly were the movements towards a match con- ducted, that good guessers were perplexed to ferret out their meaning, and it was not till Mr. Lyon threw down the elegant fitting gar- ment with the remark, as stated, that any cIcw to the mystery appeared. At last the secret was out, and then came the hardest work of all for the knowing ones to perform- to find out the nuptial day. who was to tie the knot, and whither the happy pair were going on their wedding trip. The sacred hour of Sunday usually devoted to spiritual 'things,’were given over, after the manner of the flesh, to worldliness, in so far as the ap‘ proaching marriage was concerned. Strict watch of Uncle Fred was kept, and many eyes were turned on Mrs. Barnum's retreat, but nothing to excite suspicion was detected till Tuesday morning, when -a carriage was seen moving away from Mrs. Barnum’s house. It halted in front of Uncle Fred’s, and took in an interested passenger. The carriage next stopped at the residence of A N. Lewis, and two persons in traveling cos- tume alighted. They tripped gaily into the mansion, were received as if expected, by the rector, who, in the presence of witnesses ac- cording to the Episcopal ritual, made the two lovers one. During the exchange of congrat- ulations, something representing value passed afiroitly and very appropriately out of Uncle Fred's vest pocket into one of the holy man’s pockets, signifying that the state of single blessedness which the wedded had so long involuntarily maintained, had been brought to an end in the usual way, and that, through the aid of Cupid and his dart, the conjugal relation was again established. , . As the cou- ple passed from the house to the carriage, birds sang cheerfully in the trees, and the sun seemed to shine more brightly than was its wont, as if in approbation of the not con- sum ted. Thegood wishes of all fora happy wed ing journey was extended, but how many old shoes were cast after the carriage, “just for luck," does not appear. It is un- derstood the wedding trip embraces Saratoga and other rosorts; that the bridegroom will drive his own horses, and that the couple will be absent several weeks. Rumor also says, on their return, the premises to be occupied by the newly married, will be subjected to an old fashioned house-warming. The Lawn Party giving last Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society, of Christ church, was a success. More than fifty dollars Were netted. The at- tendance was large, and so pleased weie all, that a universal desire to have the novel and pleasing entertainment gepeated was express- edlf the weather of Wednesday proves fair, Westport will sendagood representation on the Masonic excursion, per steamer Schuyler, . from Norwalk. So far as can be learned the general wish is to get a sight of Coney Island and surroundings,01d Ocean 'and its beauties, and breathe fresh sea air. The committee having the excursion in charge are confident all these fine ideas can be realized in one day, in which case the sum charged on the price of tickets is a mere pittance. A river full of crabs and oysters is at this time furnishing food and money for many persons. A bushel of crabs at one tide is no uncommon catch for a smart man. The Westport band have decided to com- pete for prizes in the Band Tournament and Musical Festival, to begin September 10th,cn the. grounds of the Agricultural Society. Hope Leader Burns will win. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Coley bad a curious experience a few days since. They took a small boat and rowed to one of the islands in the harbor for a pic-nic. They had a splendid time. Returning Mr. Coley thought rowing was not calculated to enhance pleasure, and as the sloop, C. H. Phillips was sailing swiftly up the river, he proposed to Captain Sherwood to take him in tow. This was agreed to, and a moment later Mr. and Mrs. C. stood proudly on the sloops quarter deck, their cups, saucers, and other necessaries nicely stowed away in the little yawl which they had left, and which danced gaily on the As the wind freshened the waves increased, andpne of the waves larger than the rest, soon overturned the yawl, spilling its contents and leaving the surprised pic-nickers to mourn the loss of‘ about twelve dollars in value, and no chance of recovery. It is likely there will be hot work this fall in both Cross Highway and North districts. In the one ateacher,employed to teach for the year ending June 30th, 1878, was dismis- sed before his time had expired, but he claims pay for the whole year and will bring suit to recover. In the other district the teacher, Mr. Heman B. Goodsell, had his license re- voked for alleged incompetency. His friends in the district are seeking to have their favor- ite reinstated. It now transpires that the committee has engaged a teacher for the year in advance of the annual meeting, and Good- sel’s effort to head the commitme off and get the school himself, will make lively times. Four rods of handsomely laid stone wall have made Mr. James W. Hyatt happy. To make that condition lasting he should strengthen it by building a verandah around his house. Rev. J. F. Bombers, of New Hampshire, a talented preacher, ofiiciated at the Con- gregational church, Sunday. The subject of building public water works is again agitated. The names of Wm. E. Dikeman and Wm. H. Marvin have been drawn as jurors to serve at the next meeting of the Superior Court at Bridgeport. A collection was taken Sunday at Memor- morial Church for the benefit of the Wall- ingford Sufferers. . The Harvest Home was the name of a festival indulged in Wednesday at Staple’s Grove, by the Methodist people of Sauga- tuck. PAUL. WESTON. Our town is fuller than ever of strangers and boarders and Gen. Jarvis’ Summer Re- sort has the lion's share. As the General and his assistant, Mr. Comstock, try their level best to make the stay of their guests as pleasant and agreeable as possible, no one need wonder at' the perfect success of this comparatively new enterprise. One thing is sure all that is of much interest just now in our otherwise so quiet town. seems to center in the Western Military Institute. Your correspondent feels therefore justified in up. propriating the greater part ofhls letter to that part of our town. ' There was a phantom party, well attended and eliciting much merriment with those that partook in it. But the most brilliant affair of the season, thus far. was the Recep- tion. given by Gen. Jarvis to his numerous guests and others last Wednesday evening. It was in every respect amost elegant party such as Weston has not seen for a long time. The cardsof invitiitlon were in the height of fashion. Howe’s full orchestra in their splendid nniforms under the leadership of their famous director, Mr. F. Beyer, dis. coursed excellent music. Among the invited guests present from_Norwalk-were the fol- lowing: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Morison, Mr. and Mrs. Col. F. St. John Lockv'vood, Major G. M. Holmes, wife and daughter, Wm. H. Earle and Asa Smith. From Bridgeport there'cnmc Messrs. Lyon, Meeker, Leigh and Bennett. The whole affair was a creditable one to the genial host and a proof of his readiness at all times to please his numerous friends and patrons. The church was as usual full. The old fathers who organized it would have been pleased could they have seen with what spirit their children’s children celebrated the 121st anniversary of its organization. ~ The Pastor’s text was Prov. 22:28. Remove not the ancient laud-mark which thy fathers have set. The quartette (Misses Tillie C. and Sophie Maurer, Soprano and Ccntralto, Dr. Bartlett Tenor, and Mr. T. L. Condit Bass) did everything to increase the solemnity of the occasion, especially in the Te Deurn which was magnificently rendered. The solo of Mr. G. E. Ives, on the Cornet, was superb- ly executed. We predict for the musical association over which that gentleman pre- sides a fine prosperity and what is more, well deserved popularity. At the sacred concert at 0, in the spacious tent which the General has caused to be put up, this orchestra of Mr. Ives played some fine sacred pieces. Misses T. C: and S. L. Maurer, with their usual willingness and Dr. Bartlett and Mr. Condit likewise favored the large audience with some excellent quartetts and besides we had a solo from Miss Wood of New Haven, and a. Trio in which Miss Delia Bigelow sang the solo, all accompanied by the accomplish- ed organist Miss Emma Big'elow. A solo on the Cornet “When the Swallows homeward fly,” by Mr. Ives. The favorite solo of Mr. Condit “Jesus Lover of my Soul" composed by himself, and some fine Gospel hymns sung by the whole audience concluded this, praise meeting, the interest in which ‘can be seen from the fact that there Were besides the town people nearly 100 wagons from far and near. What shall we do when these. kind strangers shall have left us 7’ Echo, What i A furious rain storm on Friday prevented the Literary Society from giving their enter- tainment. It took place Saturday evening, was well attended and a perfect success. It consisted of charades and tableaux vivands, in which the following ladies and gentlemen participated : Mrs. H. R. Adams. Mrs. C. Porter, Mrs. S. Bradley, Miss Jennie Coley, Mrs. Kingsland of New Jersey, Miss H. Adams and Messrs. H. R.Adams, C. Adams, E. Jauncey and Chellies Nichols. We must not forget to mention as of special interest the literary'feats of Master Charlie Porter and Miss Mamie Adams. Financially also, we learn, it was a success and will add a few more valuable volumes -to the library.

Three of our churches, last Sunday, in obedienec to a request of the Warden, who had been appealed to by telegram from Wallingford, for aid, took collections for the benefit of the sufferers from the effects of ,the tornado in that place, and although no previous notice was given of the collec- tion to the congregation, nearly two hun- dred dollars was raised and sent on. Casper Lower and Henry Brock, captured a shark off Plum Beach, Westcott’s Bay, on Wednesday, measuring six feet six inches in length, three feet in circumference and thirty-eight inches from tip to top of fin. About two o’clock, Monday morning, some miscreant threw a ball of fire into the attic window of Dan Moriarty’s house, West Stamford. A bundle of rags, lamp wicks &c., having been saturated with alcohol was, ignited and thrown from a pole in on the floor. With some difficulty, the inmate of the house were able to extinguish it. - On Wednesday afternoon, John McGee, a laboring man, between fifty and sixtiy years of age, having a wife and three chi] - ren, hung himself from a beam placed over the well of the stairs in his own house, Long Ridge.

The Howe Band gave an excursion to Mount Pleasant, Hudson River. Saturday. About midnight Friday two young men were shot on the street back of the factory of the Union Metallic Cartridge company. East Bridgeport, by some persons not yet discov- ered and who were concealed in a grove op- site. One of the men was fatally injured. One ball lodged in his ‘arm inflicting a pain- ful wound, another penetrated his groin, and while he lay prostrate thirteen more were fired at him. His companion was shot in the calf of the leg, and he immediately went for assistance, but when he returned the rnfilans had escaped. Mr. Highland, night watch- man at the factory, hearing the firing went into the street and received a bullet in his hat. The shooting is supposed to have been done by two men who had a spite against a person living in the neighborhood. They evidently thought he was one of, the men at whom they had fired. The street in which the afiray occurred is very dark, there not being one street light in the vicinity of the factory, Frequently persons have been stop- ped there, and last week a young lady was raped there. This work, it has been an- nounced, was that of tramps, but it is believ- ed that all of it is due to residents of Bridge- port. The life of the man who was shot in the groin is despaired of. Extensive repairs have been going on at the Baptist Church, State street, during the past few weeks, and the work, which is now nearly finished, has greatly improved the in- terior of the edifice. The ceiling and walls have been artistically frescoed, new gas fix- tures have also been put in, and there is con. siderable new carpenter work.
