compel private citizens to do so, other mat-
ters are also perplexing, but we must wait
patiently and see what we shall see.

There was a lively time in the Cross Iflgh'
way district school meeting last week, grow-
ing out'of the choice of a candidate for dis-
trict committee. The friends of the-present
committee, Mr. W. R. Palmer, desired his
re-clection, but as he only received four out
of ’the’ thirty votes cast, his opponent, Mr.
John Goodsell, 3d, was elected. That gentle-
man however, will havc but little responsi-
bility to assume, as Palmer has already hired
Mr. C. J. Taylor to teach the school for the
ensuing year at a salary of $65 per month,
and by a new law his action in so doing is
perfectly legal. Since knowledge of this
rather unusual proceeding leaked out, there
has been a good deal of squirming among
those voters of the district who preferred
another teacher to Mr. Taylor.
The Wheeler and Wilson band of Bridge-
port, dropped down to Saugatuck Tuesday
evening last, and serenaded Mr. J. E.
Wheeler, who invited them into his mansion
and entertained them. After refreshments
had been partakcn of the band played other
pieces in their usual acceptable style, and
left for home by the 10:44 p. m., express,
well pleased with their brief visit.

All the public schools opened this (Mon-
day) morning for the autumn term.
The sclectmen have appointed Mr. Rufus
D. Cable, tax collector. This, or some simi-
lar action was necessary, on behalf of the
town, from the fact that Mr. Palmer who
was made collector at the late town election,
failed to qualify.
The good people of Christ’s church, repre-
scntcd by their wardens and vestrymen, will
meet at the rector‘s house this (Monday) eve-
ning to consider, and perhaps act upon propo-
sitions for repairing, adding to, decorating,
pulling down and rebuilding their house of
worship which was erected over forty years
ago. It is not likely any hasty decision will
be made from the fact that those accustomed
to worship at its altar are so warmly attached
to the old church. The public will be inter
. ested to know the result of the meeting.
Oflicer Rufus D. Cable took into custody,
Saturday, Mr. William R. Palmer, editor of
the Norwalk Democrat, on charges of libel
preferred by Mr. Thomas R. Lees, the well-
known cotten manufacturer of this place.
Damages are claimed in the sum of $20,000.
Mr. Palmer was taken to Bridgeport and put
in jail by Sheriflf Sanford on $5,000 bail.
The arrest caused not a little excitement in
the village. Rumor says when the trial oc-
curs, evidence will be produced to show that
Palmer was not the author of the offensive
articles appearing in the Democrat, but that
they were written by another.
The Westport Band has decided to com-

that the band will bring home one of the

one thing more than another deserves men-

DARIEN.
“We are not going to have any knockings
on the headin—this family, if you please sir.”
Darien was in a blaze of glory. on Thurs-
day eve, when-allrthe beauties, all the graces
and all the lion-tons‘as's’einbled in our new and
beautiful Educational Hall to take part in the
“house warming," or more properly speaking
the dedication of our new twig bender and
tree incliner.
It will not be in my line, and therefore I
make no attempt to report the interesting
proceedings. “That I leave to abler and
purer minds." I must, however, say that it
was a most grand success, and the crowded
house was proof positive of the deep interest
which our citizens feel in the cause of edu-
cation and all that pertains thereto.
The meeting was most ably presided over
by C. Morehouse, Esq., and all the addresses
were of the right stamp and were listened to
with attention, excepting in the case of some
Young belles and beaux, who evidently
had some programme of their own, and were
perhaps impatient and somewhat of a hurry
to dance on the light fantastic toe, anyhow,
they did that thing azd kept it up until the
small hours, much to their delight and satis-
faction. It is true they felt sad on seeing the
old folks go home,and to drown their sorrow
they called for the fiddle and' the bow and
danced themselves happy again.
There was one subject on which our able
speakers did not show a deep regret and af-
fection for, which would have been very
,pleasing to many of us, viz., our old and
time-honored schoolhouse, where so many of
us, while we were young and tender twigs,
daily went to receive the bending process and
the proper tree inclination which makes the
tall and straight oak. There was a sad feel-
ing among us and our partings, for our old
friend has taken to itself rollers and gone
from its old foundation, and as we see it dis-
appear a thousand recollections of days long
passed and gone, come rolling like a flood
over our souls and fill us with emotions of
a two-fold nature, namely, joy and sorrow.
Joy in remembrance of the many high old
frolics both in school and out. Sorrow and
regrets over the recollection of our many
wasted opportunities, and a mixture of both
joy and sorrow as we remembered those
jacket warmers, and how many deserved ones
we escaped. Sorrow and sadness over the
many dear playmates, as well as teachers,
now passed away from sight, never more to
meet us here again. And now the dear old
building leaves us, and with love and tender
regard for her, we with moist eyes and sin-
cere regret say, “Good bye, old twig bender,
farewell, old tree incliner, go in peace and
accept our best wishes for you in your new
department of usefulness, and may you line
your owners pockets with tin farmore suc-
ccssfully than did the teachers in your hal-
lowed walks fill some Of our minds with
useful knowldge‘especially those of us who
heeded not the wise instruction offered to us
and consequently are knarly and not the
straight and beautiful trees that you Would
desire us to be." '
Ab, those jacket warmers! Who does not
remember them and the warm glow that ran
down a fellow’s ack, so unlike the cold
crawl which proceeds chills and fever? Well,
they ought to have made us more mindful of
our lessons and less devoted to amusements.
But we had our fun and can’t be cheated out
of it, or fail to remember those good old
days with great gratification.
Those old sums—how they used to bother
our young minds,and in fact, at this late day,
it’s hard to figure out the examples. “If a
cord of woodcosts four dollars, what will a
a load of coal come to ?” or “What is the
length of a copper wire running the other
way ?"
Now it's quite possible and highly probable
that no such examples were ever given us,
but there were some old sockdolagers equally
hard and bewildering to young and tender
twigs, that form a part only of the crowd of
reminiscences that now fill our minds.
Please excuse the rambling manner in which
they are stated, and indulge in a few words
upon other matters, but be good enough to
join me in ascribing all honor to Darienites
for the elegant school building which they
have now placed at the disposal of the com-
ing population—the men and women now
growing up in this place. All honor to Darien,
“so say we all of us." g
In regard to the park as mentioned in a
former communication, there seems to be a
dispute as to the title of the ground, which
must be settled before anything can be done.
Our city claims the ground and the sixth
Congregational Church set up a counter
claim, but which of them is right, time will
determine. Our spirited and plucky Mayor
seems confident of the result, for he was
heard to inform one of the trustees “that the
ground belonged to the city and would be
converted into a park beyond all peradvcn-
turc," and added, “we are not going to have
anylknockings on the head in this family, if
you please sir.” Whether his last remark
was or was not a quotation from Betsey Trot-
wood, it showed the true grit of an out and
out Darienite, and we are all proud of our
good and true mayor. '
In the street department the work for the
present is done and well done, but next spring
ground will be broken in opening a most
superb avenue. The name for this avenue is
not as yet decided upon. Some of the com-
missioners favor,“Sea View, others oppose
the name on the ground that there being no
sea view from any portion of said avenue our
truthfulness would be called in question, and
offer as substitute “Sound View." Now this
would be strictly true for we can from ‘our
. 32d ward see not only the Sound but Long
Island as well. This name is objected to
upon the ground that if we have sound views
we may be open to the charge of also hav-
ing unsound views, an idea that cannot be
for one moment tolerated. Hence for the
present the name is held over for further
consideration. '
There is only one more matter thatI would
like to refer to, but now—I must not, cannot
and dare not say one word until my lips are
unsealed, and until then just try a little of
the old remedy, viz, patience. perseverance
and a small dose of sweet oil, and await re-
sult from INnux.
The Jennings Estate.
The association of Jennings’ estate heirs
formed in this citya year or two ago, has
held no meetings lately, and is at present do-
ing practically nothing toward the accom-
lishment of its objects. The organization
is still maintained, however, and when sufli-
cicnt funds are raised an agent will be sent to
Europe to.examine titles and records and
make a general canvass of the situation. Sim-
]ar organizations of Jennings heirs have been
formed in New Jersey and Virginia, but the
consolidation of all these branches, although
agitated some time ago, has never been car-
ried out. From what a prominent member
of the Connecticut branch said to the writer
yesterday, we are inclined to suspect that
their failure to coalesce may be owing in
some measure to mutual jealousy. “The
New Jersey branch,” said he, “think they
know everything about this business. but,
from our correspondence with them, I am
convinced that they are on the wrong track
in several respects, while I know we are all
sound as far as we have got, and have lots of
points that they haven't. It is true,” he added,
“that a portion of the estate has already gone
to pretended heirs in England, but we believe
they did not get possession of it honestly,
and think it probable that they can be ousted.
The rest of“ the vast property is still under
charge of trustees appointed by the English
courts, and only awaits proof of heirship to
become the property of the Jennings descen-
dants in this country. This proof we may
or may not be able to furnish, but the matter
has never been investigated yet as it should.

Despite the uncertainty which exists re-
garding the Paris awards, it is at least cer-
tain that our modest display hasalready been
honored withsix grand prizes and sixteen
gold in edals. Three of the former have been
won by telephones and silverwork. The
grand medals have been carried off in part by
our ploughs, harvesters, oils, scales, ecu],
hardware, shoes and organs. Some of these
products came into direct competition with
those of the first manufacturers in Europe,
and won only by sheer merit. It is note-
worthy that within a recent period the Unit-
ed States imported many of the articles
which have received awards—Tribune.

Capt. Tyson Coming Home.
Capt. Tyson, who went in the schooner
Florence to northern waters a year ago, is ex-
pected home in Brooklyn this fall, owing to
the failure to sail of the Howgatc Arctic ex-
pedition, for which he was to prepare the
way. He organized a company of Esqui-
maux, and bought a large quantity of furs
' and a number of do 8 and sledges to use in
the explorations, an these he will leave for
future travelers. He was beyond all reach
of information as to the intentions of Capt.
Howgatc, but it was agreed that he should
return to the United States if the expedition
did not arrive within a year. Capt. Roach of
the whaling schooner Helen E, which was
wrecked over a year ago, arrived in New
London last week. He parted with Capt.
Tyson on July 15. At that ime Aug. 15 had
been fixed for the date of the departure of
the Florence on her homeward bound trip.

From the Tokio, Japan, Times, June Slh, 1873.
A Voice from Japan.
Messrs. Fairbanks do 00., manufacturers of
scales for the world in general, have circula-
ted in America the fac smile of a certificate
iu'the Siamese language and character, show-
ing that their wares have been for many years
in use at the Custom House at Bangkok, and
have not only given constant satisfaction, but
have occasioned surprise by their durability
and unchahging accuracy. This does not
seem so remarkable a testimonialin the East
as it may possibly be at home.
If, Messrs. Fairbanks A: Co. had any desire
to obtain similar autographic assurances from
all the States in Asia where trade is carried
on, they could do so without difficulty. No
custom house in China, we believe, and cer-
tainly none in Japan, is without a supply of
them ; and in all official departments where
the use of scales is requisite, these alone are
relied upon. The quaint Siamese chirogra-
phy may have plenty of companion curiosi~
tics whenever it suits the parties concerned
to send for them.
