WEST NORWALK.
Rev. Mr. Williams and Bently of Norwalk
addressed the people on the subject of teln-
perance, in the Chapel on Sunday evening,
making. a deep impression on the minds of
their hearers in regard to their duty at the
next town election. .
WILTON.
Mr. w. T. Jelliife betrays signs of prosper-
ity bya spacious addition to his dwelling
house.
The funeral of Mr. Elijah Belts, Wilton,
victim of the Adclphi disaster, will be attend.
ed at the Congregational church, to—day, at
one o’clock p. m. The deceased was univer‘
sally respected and all regret his sad and un-
timely fate.
Mr. Gabriel Hoyt, who also was a victim
of the same disaster, was returning from
Wilton with his wife, who had been spend-
ing the summer at Mr. Benajah G-ibert’s.
Thc Belden Ilill school district are to have
a new school house.
Mr. Charles Horton was in town on Sun-
day last.
The Rev. J. E. Walton ended his pastorate
of seven years, on Sunday last, at which time
he preached his farewell sermon from II.
Con, 13 chapter and 2d verse. The text and
sermon were appropriate on the occasion‘and
the sermon was listened to by a large audi-
ence who much regret Mr. Walton’s removal
from among us to another sphere of useful-
ness. During Mr. W’alton’s residence here
he has acquired, and justly so, the reputa-
tion of being arsermonizer of more than ordin-
ary ability, and the announcement of evening
service at St. Matthew’s, never failed . to
bring together a large audience. Mr. Walton
carries with him to his new field of labor the
best wishes of the people of Wilton, irrespec-
tive of denominational preferences.
The Sunday school of the Congregational
church held their usual monthly concert.
The exercises consisted of singing, recitation
and addresses by those interested in the work,
among which was Mr. R._P. B. Easton, of
Norwalk. Wes Toxx.'
BETHEL.
Engineer Rider surprised the people of
Bethel, last Monday morning, by turning
the water into the main pipes—a week or
more before the time promised. ' The laying
‘of: the pipes through the streets was com-
pleted last Saturday. Everything looks well
for the success of the works, and Engi-
neer Ryder will leave ,Bethel with fresh
laurels. -
BRIDGEPORT.
The jury in the case of McNamara, the
Newtown murderer, retired for the verdict
Monday, and after an hour and twenty min-
utes deliberation brought in a verdict of
murder in the second degree. The prisoner
was sentenced to State prison for life. ,
The nitric acid shop of the Fairfield Chem-
ical Works was destroyed by fire, Wednesday
morning. The loss is between three and four
thousand dollars. partially insured. The fire
was uudoubtedlyfincendiary.
The trial of Edwin Hoyt of Sherman, for
the murder of his father, last June, was con-
cluded Friday. The jury, after being out
fifteen minutes, brought in a verdict of mur-
der in the first degree. He was sentenced
to he hung yesterday ‘; he was a member of Co.
H. 8th Regiment, C. V., that went from
Norwalk to the war.
On May 12th, John Rupert, alias “Stutter-
ing Jack,” was murdered .in an unoccupied
carriage factory, in East Bridgeport‘ by
Frank E. Bassett, who placed the body in a
barrel and drove to Dr. Sanford, of the Yale
Medical School, New Haven, who refused to
purchase without seeing a certificate from
the proper authorities. Bassctt then,drove to
Derby, and down the west bank of the river
three miles to an unfrequented spot, where
he rolled the barrel down an embankmennt
into the water. A woman with whom Bas-
sett lived was conversant with the whole
matter, and becoming dissatisfied with his
action, let drop some remarks, which being
followed up by Chief Marsh, led to the re-
covery of Rupert’s body on Wednesday.
Bassett is now confined in jail awaiting
trial for theft‘
DANBURY.
The house of Mr. Byram Barnum, in Pem-
broke district, was visited by burglars
W’ednesday night, who stole therefrom $160
in money. No clue to the burglar.
Two very bold burglaries were committed
in town, Monday night. ,
Gage street, a district in the neighborhood
of King street, was startled, Friday morning,
by the news of the death at his own hands of
Seneca Solomon, an aged residence.
The Question ofthe Hour.
The speech of Mr. Schurtz last evening
in Cincinnati on the financial question pre-
sents in a clear and strong light the chief
points in the great discussion which is now
agitating the country. Ills explanations of
the causes which led to the panic of 1873
and the commercial depression that has
since existed, not only here but in many of
the countries of the Old World, have been
again and'again presented; but they, if
possible acquire additional cogency iu the
clear and vigorous style in which he
has set them before his Ohio audience.
In declaring a good national and individual
credit, it sound currency and a Safcaod
reliable banking system to be three great
and essential requisities for national pros-
. perity. Mr. Schurz has laid down the
only financial and commercial foundation
upon which this or any other country can
solidly stand. But these are the very stones
in business and finance that the soft money
advocates reject. National and individual
credit they propose to strike down at once
by a violation of the most solemn pledges
of the government, and for the present
bonding system they propose to substitute
'the “wild cat” concerns of other days. It is
impossible that the honesty, the patriotism
and the intelligence of the country should
rush into national suicide by following such
false leaders—N. Y. Herald.
Dr. J. G. Holland, talking to the assembled
boatmeu of Alexandria Bay the other day‘
said: “I neithgr drink wine nor give it to my
guests. Strong drink is the curse of. this
country. Sixty thousand men in America every
car lie down in the grave of the drunkard.
Drink has murdered my best friends, and I
hate it. It burdens me with taxes, and I
denounce it as a nuisance, on which every
man should put his heel. I do not ask you
to put your heel on the 'druukard, but to
make the spirit of your guild so strict and
pure that no man of your number will dare
to trifle with your opinion and sentiments on
the subject.”

Messrs. A. H. Bissell, law clerk of the
Assistant Attorney General’s Ofiicc and the
Post Office Department, and E. J. Dallas,
Chief of the Dead Letter Division, have been
appointed to represent the department at the
Convention of Publishers to be held in New
York on the 9th of October. The object; of
the convention is to take such steps toward
combined action as will secure the passage
of a bill now before Congress relating to
the classification of mail matter and the pos-
tage thereon. -

Ex-Secrctary Chandler has been making
some remarks on the stump in Michigan
which Mr. Potter’s committee ought to heed.
He says Mr. Hayes is as legally president as
was Washington, and then adds: “If the

WESTPORT.
The all absorbing topic of conversation
for the past two days has b: e r' the terrible.
accident tothc’steam'cr Adolphi. ‘ News of
the event was received with surprise for the
reason that so many of 'our people had taken
passage on "the vessel since she was placed on
thejroute between Norwalk and New York,
had' been carried so pleasantly and with such
uniform promptness and safety that they had
come to look upon the Adelphi as reliable in
every respect. Details of the catastrophe
were read with sorrow when it was known
that many had lost their lives, that several
‘Westport people were onthc boat at the time'
of the explosion, and some of thcin were in-
jured. Among these were Mr.Samuel Wood,
his wife, two daughters, Laura and Mabel,
aged respectively nine and seven years, and
Mrs. Giles Babcock, their grandmother, of
Stonington, Conn. Mrs. Wood was injured
in the face by a flying splinter. Mrs. Bab-
cock‘had a knee hurt: and was slightly bruis-
ed about the body. Miss Mabel Wood was
on the deck directly over the boiler when it
burst, and fell with the debris to the bottom
of the vessel amid steam and flying splinters.
‘ She was terribly-scolded in the face and neck
and received a bad wound in the forehead.
She was taken with difficulty from the wreck,
conveyed to Gregory's Point in a tug, and
from thence in a hack to her home _ here,
where she lingered in great agony till 7:30,
Saturday evening when she died. She was
a bright girl and had won not only the affec-
tion of her associates, but the regard of all
her seniors. Her funeral ceremonial, which
occurs this (Tuesday) afternoon will be the
saddest ever attended in Westport. . Mr. E.
S. Downes, Mrs. Andrew B. Godfrey and
daughter, and two sons of Mr. James Dotten
were also on the Adclphi at the time of the
explosion, but escaped unhurt. Our people
feel that the managers of thé steamer, repre-
sented by Mr. Frederick Perkins, agent of
the R. Cornell White Steamboat Company, a
man of vast experience in his line of business,
had done all in' their power to render the
Adelphi safe and commodius; that the acci-
dent, so far as they are concerned, was whol-
ly unforeseen and consequently beyond their
control.
The sprig of willow, alluded to by us in
this column several years ago, taken from

In his sermon at Memorial church, Sunday

Surveyor George H. Nash’s digging away

if any, tax payers will offer is,‘the late date
at which the work is done, entailing, as they

The managers of the public schools came
near making an even thing of it for the year
ending August 31st, 1878. They had received
$5,295, and expended $5,293.10, leaving a
balance in their favor of $1.90. An extra
appropriation of $100, made by the Board
in J unc last, was untouched. As the Board
has' done so well, why not agree at the an-
nual town election to be held next week. to
keep them in power. By chance, a set. of
new men not familiar with School matters if
elected, will be carried away with some
strange, new-fangled notions as to education-

bring the town in debt. “Let well enough

The Retirement of Mr. Spear.
m: DECIDES T0 nxsum: Tun PRACTICE or
PATENT LAW IN wasumgron.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Mr. Elias Spear
tendered his resignation as Commissioner of
Patents to-day, to take effect October 31.
The resignation has not yet been formally_ac—
ccptcd, ‘but it will be, and the usual thirty
days leave of absence will be granted. Mr.
Spear's resignation is entirely voluntary and
is no way connected with the rumors that
have been circulated for the past year. His
retirement is in consequence of ‘long contem-
plated plans for resuming his private busmess
as a. patent attorney in Washington. It: is
understood that the position has been offered
to ex-Congressman Halbert E. Paine, of Wis.
consin, but he has novel accepted. '
. -— ashington Dispatch.
The above will be unwelcome news to the
many Connecticut Inventors who have bad
business with the Patent Office. Gen. Spear
has been a remarkably conscientious and
painstaking Commissioner, and his decisions
in contested cases have shown not only fair-
ness but a clear’head and very nice powers
of legal discrimination. The wonder is that
he could have been induced to remain so
long in a position so laborious, exacting, and
for many reasons, unsatisfactory,for the piti-
ful salary attached to his oflice, when the
lucrative fields of general patent practice lie
so temptingly open to the first class practi-
tioner. We wish him the abundant success
he so surely merits.
Gen. Paine was one of Wisconsin’s bravest
soldiers, who served in Congress after the
war and has been practicing law in Washing-
ton since his retirement. He is a man of
ability, high character, and would make as
good a successor to Gen. Spear as Secretary
‘Schurz would be likely to find.

Among many other pleasant occurences of
the past summer, the good people of Bedding
enjoyed a rare intellectual treat in listening
to a reading given by the talented young
Elocutionist, J. W. Teets and G. H. Makucn.
These young men, students of the Centen-
nary Collegiate Institute, of which one is a
graduate, and both graduates of the Phila-
delphia. School of ‘Or’iaory, are possessed of
much culture and know how to please a cul-
tivated audience such as greeted their appear-
ance in the M. E. Church of Bedding a few
weeks ago.
Their selections were well chosen, the first,
by Mr. Teets, being the parable of The Prod-
igal Son, was very effectively. rendered.
Then followed various other pieces equally
well read. Mr. Makucn’s style being well
adapted to the droll and comic, while Mr.
Teets excels in thepathelic and emotional.
they were enabled to give a very pleasing
variety to_ the entertainment and each, ' in his
own peculiar manner, delighted the appre-
ciative audience. .
One may confidently predict a successful
and brilliant future for these young men. S.

A Suggestion.
[From the Hartford Courant.]
There is only one issue this fall—and that
is honest money. It- isjmportant that Con-
necticut should‘have a solid hard money rep-
resentation in Congress. ' Congress needs it
The honor and prosperityof the state require
it. Whether the state sballbe represented by
democrats or by republicans is an important
question, but a more vital one is whether it-
shall be represented by honest, clear-headed
men, who will not vote to plunge the coun-
try into the quagmire from which it is just
escaping. A solid hard-money representa-
tion can be secured if the honest majority of
both the great parties will it; but it cannot
be secured without an honest agreement of
both parties to temporarily sink other issues
in this common necessity. It is proposed
that the republicans of the second Congres-
sional district unite with the hard money
dem'ocrats and send to Congress Governor
English or Governor Ingorsoll or some other
sound democrat. The proposal is a good
one. The suggestion of the Courant is that
this plan be extended to other districts. For
it is onl by such a' plan that a solid hard
money elegation can be secured, and it is
only fair that if the republicans unite with
the democrats in the second district that the
democrats unite with the republicans either
in the first or fourth districts. It is conced-
ed that the third district is sure for a hard
money republican. It is conceded that the
second is sure for a greenback democrat or a
democratic greenbacker unless the republi-
cans and democrats unite on a hard money
democrat. The other two districts are more
or less in doubt, with the chances in favor of
no better and as weak and unsound repre-
sentatives as they have at present. Let; the
hard money democrats take one of them and
the hard-money republicans the other, and
unite on each others’ candidates. This pro-
posal is perfectly fair to the, hard money
democrats of the state, for without such an
arrangement they cannot elect a sound man
in their district. What effect would this have
upon the senatorial question? We do not
care to inquire just now. But we do not see
how it can change it. We trust there is no
danger that there is no dodger that Connecti-
cut will send to the United States senate a
soft money blatherskite. But if any such
danger should develop during the campaign
it would be the duty of the honest men of
both parties to vote only for hard money
men for the legislature.
O
Expensive Funerals.
The expense of public funerals has been
often condemped by Christian teachers; and
indeed it is worthy 5f condemnation. It
brings a very heavy burden upon the poor,
especially upon poor widows and. orphaned
children, that just then, when the stay of
the household has been taken, they must
incur an additional debt of fifty or one hun-
dred dollars for coffin, hearse and carriages.
Certainly we agree that such families ought
not to be thus burdened. But how can they
in thé first sensitivcness and abandonment
of utter bereavement bear the imputation
of any seeming least‘lack of respect or affec-
tion for their dead. Th9 only remedy is
that other families in better circumstances
shall set the example of simplicity and
privacy. There are enough places and times
for the .rich to display- their possessions.
Their fine clothes, carriages, and horses are
not wrong in themselves. If the rich have
honestly come by these handsome things,-
and are correspondingly lavish in charities
and all good works, then their luxuries may
be a benefit to the whole community and
country, and a harm or wrong to nobody.
But to make such display or expenditure at
a funeral is in itself a harm and wrong. Be-
cause, I say, a funeral is the one place where
peer people cannot economize—cannot have
moral courage enough to fall much behind
the fashion of the village. And the sin is
especially ours, fellow-Christians, if we coun-
tenance such customs. Let there be fashion,
style, and show everywhere else, if there
must me—let the poor even be kept away
from the house of God because they cmnot
wear asfine clothes as supposed Christian
ladies and gentlemen wear; but let not ex—
travagance, pomp, or fashion have any place
when man is borne to his long home and the
mourners go about the streets—T. 0. Jerome.

Lorenzo Dow Raising the Devil.
In his systematic wandering over the coun-
try, Lorenzo Dow, the great Methodist revi-
valist,’ almost invariably traveled on foot, and
often without a penny in his pocket, because
he did not need money, as he was well
known, and a welcome guest in every house-
hold. Tired and hungry in the evening
twilight of an autumn day, he came in sight
of a house at which he had often stopped,
and to which he had traveled several miles
more than his usual day’s journey. The
only occupants of the house were a father
- ands. daughter who was his housekeeper.
When she saw Dow coming she ran to meet
him, and demonstrated by her looks and de-
monstrated by her looks and words the joy
she felt. While she was preparing supper
she told him that her father had gone to a
barn raising and would not return until mid-
night, and detailed to him the happenings
in the neighborhood since his last visit.
After the supper they were joined by a young
man whom she introduced to Dow as her fu-
ture husband, if they could obtain her fath-
er’s consent, which at that time was not very
probable, as he was bitterly opposed to the
union. They both urged Dow ‘to use all his
influence with the father to obtain his con-
sent, which he promised to do. .
The house, as many were at that time. was
only one story high, and from the ceiling,
which was made by laying loose slabs on the
[timber used as joist, to the roof was called
the loft. As there was only one roe own
stairs, at bed was madeon the floor of left
for Dow, to which he retired after praying
with the young couple. He had not been
long in bed before he heard loud knocking on
the door and commotion down stairs. By
looking through between two slabs he saw
the girl trying to force the young man up
stairs, but he 'would not go; she then told
him to get his tow box that stood in the
corner, and he did. Then she opened the
door'and her father entered. He was con-
siderably under the influence of liquor, and
iuavery bad humor because he had been
kept waiting so long. The girl told him he
must keep quiet, as.their old friend Lorenzo
Dow was in bed on the loft, and said he
ought to go up and see him, but the father
was sensible enough to know that his head
was too heavy to admit of him'as'ccnding an,
almost perpendicular ladder, and did not
make the attempt. Dow, who had seen and
heard all that passed below, descended the
stairs. ,
The father received Dow at the foot of the
bidder with cordial greetings, and insisted on,
him taking some supper with him, but Dow
refused, as he already had had supper. After
he had concluded his meal, he said: “Mr.
Dow, I have often heard that you can raise
the devil, and I made up my mind that if
you ever came back to my house I would get
you to do it.” Dow protested that he could
do no such thing, but the man insisted that
he could and should. After deliberaing a
short time, Dow said : “If I must, I will;
but it is sorely against my will. When he
appears he will have a streak of fire behind
him, so you must get water to put it out,
otherwise it may burn the house."
All preparations being made, Dow took in
his hand the only light in the room, and,after
telling the girl to open the door and for she
and her father to stand back in the corner, he
set on firesomc of the tow that was protrud-
ing through an open space in the box, and
said in a loud voice, "Thou imp of Satan,
leave this house until 1 bid thee return.” The
young man was sharp enough to know that
Dow was getting him but of a bad scrape,
and seizing some tow in each hand, which he
held up to his face, he sprang out of the box
and out of the door.» , After he was gone, the
girl and Dow,‘ the father being paralyzed
with fear, put out the fire. Dow remained
several days, and during the-time the inquir-
ies he made about the young man were an-
swered so much to his satisfaction that he
urged the father to consent to the marriage,
and he did. .-
Dow had the pleasure of pronouncing the
couple husband and wife before his departure.
