A call is out for a special school meet-
ing 0f the voters of this district tobc held
at thc’school house next Friday‘eveiiing,
at 7-} U’CIOCk, for the purposes of author-
izing the committee to borrow mono)" ‘0
pay the interest on the district debt due
December 1st, and if deemed expedient to
lay a tax. .As this is a matter of some
interest to the property owners, we expect
to see a larger turnout than IS 1150511 at.
school meetings here.
Among other improvements we note
the demolition of that unsightly and di»
lapidatcd structure just North of the upper
mill so long occupied as a dwelling by
Miles nth-y. an addition which adds to
the outside appearance and the inside com—
fort. of the George Vine dwelling, and a
mu; addition to the house of Patrick
Lucy.
(ltd Oaken Bucket Lodge of Good Tem—
plcrs have recently fitted up the room over
the store of J. I}. Orcutt for a Lodge room
and are occupying it as such; there is :1
determination on the part of the Lodge not
to die while there is work to be done. The
spectacle of drunken women, and boys
scarcely in their teens, rcaling through our
streets, should urge them to renewed lef-
forts,to stem the tide of death and hell
that is sweeping away our loved and little
ones. The work of this Lodge with other
influences combined have made the rum
trailic here unprofitable, one place for
whiclia few yéars ago $15.00 was refused

A village school boy, seeing the high tide
of Friday last, is said to have expressed the
opinion that the statement in his geography
that three-quarters of the globe is composed
of water'and thczothcr fourth land is not true,
II. Staples’ two great lumber yards afloat, all
the wharfs submerged and travel on the horse
railroad impeded impressed the boy with the
notion that three-quarters should be changed
to nine-tenths, and that Colt-3n should get out
a corrected edition of his outline maps.
The net proceeds of the fair at Sturges hall
for the benefit of Assumption church, exceed-
cd $1,300. Towards the close of the fair
interest centered in the contest for a seventy-
live dollar ice pitcher, disposed of by vote,
at ten cents each, the man receiving the high-
est number to be declared the most popular
man in Westport. The candidates for “most
popular man,” (not nominated by their own
seeking) were Messrs. Miller Ketchum, 2697
votes; J. E. Wheeler, 2328; D. C. Birdsall,
744; II. P. Burr, 125 ; W. B. Wright, 55.
The prize fell to Mr. Kctchum whose friends
“shelled out." nobly in his behalf. It is claim-
ed that a misunderstanding existed as to the
exact time when the polls would close. The
friends of Mr. Wheeler were on the alert dur-
ing Thursday evening, and' obtained a large
95th of thal amount to-day,——workingmeii

The scripture injunction contained in
Gen. 0th chapter, 7th verse, seems to be
literally fulfilled at present in our little
hamlet, it looks as it‘ the old fashioned

again, .our population has increased very
much of late by the method, the next

Mrs. Julia A. Pierce whose demise was
recorded in your death list, last week, was
the daughter of \Villiam Northrop, a Cali-
fornia pioneer, who died in that state in
1852. She was this wife of Mr. Cornelius
Pierce. She was a lady of estimable vir-
tue, quiet and lady-like in her behaviour
and had many endearing qualities, those
who knew her loved hcrj; her dcpar turc was
not unexpected and going left behind her
testimony consoling to her friends, that she
died in the faith and the hope of a glorious
immortality.

Last week was about as unpleasant a.
week as we ever have in the whole year.
A crowded house gathered, in spite of
the storm, Wednesday evening, to see
Uncle Tom’s Cabin, represented by the
1’crlcy Comedy company. This play is too
serious :1 one for a comedy company, and
as presented it seemed a burlesque.
With a goodnight, it remains to be seen
whether our good people will give as 'good
an audience to the tableaux Thanksgiving
night. The object. is a goOd one, and the
benefit will bc.for home interests.
As Dr. Todd was upon the point of turn-
ing his horse into his yard Sunday even-
ing, a gentleman from \Vilton at that
moment attempted to drive past him. The
hroses came together. The wagons col-
lided, and a break down was the result
on the part of the Wilton establishment.
The two occupants of the carriage were
thrown out but sustained no serious ac-
cident. '
E. L. Thomas died last Monday night,
aged 72. His illness was caused by chronic
Bright's disease, and dated from last March.
Mr. Thomas was one of our substantial

lie was a just man and an upright citizen.
lie was a devoted christian, and an active
member of his church. He had upon
several occasions been called by his town -
to serve in various offices of trust. In 1871
and ’72 he was Judge of Probate, and was
chosen Representative in 1872. He was
our Town Clerk for several years. Mr.
' Thomas was particularly noted for a pc-
culiar fondness for gcncology, and was.
much more familiar with the history of
various families and of the town than any
other man. It is a great pity that his
knowledge could not have been put in an
available form. We understand that he
left many valuable papers of historical in-
terest which we trust will be carefully prc.
served. Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord.

I refer to “Young Sport.” and his web-
(ICI‘LLII performance of last week. It seein-
cd (when he first started) to be the general
opinion that he could not or would not
hold out for three days, but before he had
been on the track two days peeple began
to be convinced of his staying powers, and
that he meant to do all that he claimed he
would, and had he known at the start the
actual measurement of the track I firmly
believe that he could have done far better
than he did. So far as I can learn his re-
cord has never been excelled, and the
general opinion is that it cannot be. “Sport"
has been rather a wild character but of
late seems to be making amends and with
every prospect of success. Geod luck. to
him I say and may he win fresh laurcls.
Anumbcr of new dwellings are in pro-

new house on Barnum strcct nearly com-

learned to whom they belong.
' Mr. Thomas Merrill is doing well in his
new place, everything adout his market
appears in first-class order and an air ol
neatn-css, pervades it. And while speak-
ing of“ Mr. Merrill 1 would not forch Mr.
1). C. Wood, who is in the same business
that Mr. Merrill is. Mr. Wood was rep-
rcscntative last year (it. is 1.00 bad that
he is a democrat.) lie is too good a man
for that. And by the way there “~33 Such

We do not. wonder at its majority in the

cast and that every man shall vote as he
chooses. ‘ v ,
number of votes, but failing to report them
in time were, to use a familiar term, “bar.
red” out, and the prize was thus secured to
Kctchuin. A member of the church, one
who worked hard for Mr. Wheeler is author-
ity for the statement that the total number of
votes secured by him would, if counted, have
given the pitcher, to \V. by seven majority.
That gentleman is Mr. Patrick Murphy. The
contest, which was a very pleasant one, re-
sulted in a $595,510 benefit to the church, and
further, that there is more than one popular

Mr. Thomas Hill, of Manchester, England,
who arrived in this country last March, and

E. M. Lees, has just returned from making
an extended tour of the United States, pass-
ing several months “roughing? it upon the
Western plains, hunting, and.gencral sight

this is a great country. Mr. Hill has engag-
cdliis return passage, and after a two week’s

It is said the tide was so high Friday that.
-salt water flowed over the draw and into
Wood’s pond,——somcthing never before
known. For a time, in consequence of the
rise of water, Mr. David Bradley couldn’t
see the point—Cedar Point. Near Hill’s
point, spray from the waves was carried
completely over Mr. McCready’s house.
At the Sangatuek Rifle Range Thanksgiv-
ing Day, there will be shooting at 500 yard
targets, and with glass balls. Prizes of tur-
keys, chickens, articles in silver, and silver
dollars will be offered. It is expected the
entries for competition will be large enough‘
to make the contests more than usually in-
teresting. The boys hope the day, the
shooting, and their dinners will be good.
The public may be interested to know that
the aSSignment of Mr. D. L. Staples, dry
goods merchant, made necessary by a freak
of H. B. Claflin &. Co., of New York, will
lishmcnt. The fact that Mr. II. Staples is
on hand to the rescue, gives color of truth to
this statement.
Mr. James Condom, awcll known citizen
and property owner who died Wednesday,

sentative be twice unquestionably secured,
may now cxclaim in tones of sadness unres—

DANBURY.
Danbury has a first-class mystery. In run-
ning the boundary line between Danbury and
Bethe], the selectmcn of Bcthcl while going
through the woods near mountain Pond,
came upon a strap halter ticd around a hick-
ory tree. The fact that this tree was over a
mile from any road, and the halter in a com-
paratively good state of preservation, struck
the party as singular, and looking around
they found the complete skeleton of a horse
lying on the ground. The bead-stall of the
halter was of webbed goods, and was broken.
Near the horse was found a man’s coat, a
lady’s skirt, a horse blanket and other
“truck,” as our informant styled it. The
state of the garments, blanket, etc, leads to
the belief that they had been there over a
year, possibly longer. .

NEW CANAAN.
It is almost surprising when there is so
much talk of dull times to notice the
amount of building going on in our town
as there is at present, from the less preten-
tious to the almost lordly. mansions. Chaun-
cy Lockwood’s new house shows the me—
chanic’s thrift; John Hogan’s new house is
most ready for occupancy; Hiram Wake-
man’s shows the modern farmer's idea of a
home; Benjamin P. Mead’s fine house,
approaching completion, shows the trades-
man's success; the house of immense pro-
portions being completed by the widow of
William Lockwood, and the princely lay-
out, by Frederick Lockwood, on Mount
Lebanon which must take a couple of years
to work into completion all its parts, all
speak in contrast with the prevailing talk
of: dull times, and new roofs, additions
and alterations are common everywhere. We
guess the times are notso bad after all.

It seems the Sons of Temperance could
not quite stand the strain on their Hall
