on the 30th, having wandered to Bethcl,Dan-
bury and Bridgeport. At that place he took
the cars 00 So. Norwalk, then wandered to
Darlen, at which place he was recognized
and taken in charge. He has shown signs of
mental derangement for the past two years,
.but until a few months back no uneasiness
was felt by the other members .of the family.
A short time ago he became violent and it
was found necessary to confine him in the cell
at the aims house. His father brought him
home after a day or two, and arrangements
were made to place him in the insane retreat,
at Middletown, when he decamped. On Sat-
urday last he was taken to Middletown by
Mr. Raymond, of the aims house, accompa-
nied by his father. Sore as the affliction is on
the parents they have the more keenly felt
the false and malicious stories that have been 4

A very commendable effort has been made
' by the young people Of the Congregational
church, to accumulate sufficient funds to
erect aLecture and Conference room. For
this purpose they arranged a Dime Concert
which Was. given on Wednesday evening
last in the church. “Shepherd of thine
Israe " an ahthem, was sung for the opening.
To bass, tenor and soprano solos being sung
by Frank Selleck, Mr. Benedict and Miss
Mather. ' Two piano solos by Miss Snell, the
organist of the church were/well executed,
as, was the piano duetts by Miss Snell and
Miss Mary Comstock of Buffalo, and Miss
Snell, and Miss Mather. ,
Mr. Frank Selleck sang a solo called the
“wanderer" very appropriate for him, the
piano accompaniment by Miss Comstock.
Miss Mather sang very sweetly and effective-
ly. thefgsong, “The Day is Done.” It was
‘ admitted by many of those present that the
piano duett- by Miss Comstock and Mr.
Selleck was the most intricate and beautiful
performance of the evening. _ A pleasing
feature was a recitation “Troubles in the
Choir” portraying truthfully the occurrences
which have often taken place. The concert
was-a success, showing that the 'local talent
is good. The presence of Miss Comstock
and Mr. ‘Sclleck was very opportune.

Friday. evening Feb. 3‘ has been fixed
for the second annual ball of Vigilant
Engine company, and National Hall On
that occasion will,.it ishoped, receive a
goodly company Of guests. Howe’s band
have been engaged to furnish music which,
in itself, will be a feature of the dance.
Upon the committee of arrangements are
gentlemen who will exert theméclvs to secure .
the enjoyment of the friends of the engine
company. ‘ ,

Ii is tough to admit that a man with money
in his pocket is not safe in Westporf, but
it’s true nevertheless. ‘ Last Thursday, for
instance, a gentleman from Bradleyville
had $80 taken from him by a local pick-
pocket.
The finest sleigh in 'the 'county judging
from its name “Excelsior,” came from Nor-
walk which always furnishes the best' of
everything, last Tuesday, drawn by Six
whitehorses, and a gay company of ladies
and gentlemen took passage, therein for
Bridgeport. There was plenty of snow but
the air being mild as summer, the party
were subjected to no cold noses or feet and
were able to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Bridgeport was reached in about 70 minutes
and the return was made in a like short
space'of time. At the hotel, supper was
provided by mine'llost Bradley vand his
associate Lyon, which, finished in the old
ballroom at the top of the third flight of
stairs, wherehin the years gone by many a
dancer now beneath the daisies tripped the
light fantastic, :1 series of old fashioned
quadrilles.' contra ,dances, and “fore and
afters” were indulged, the old stand by,
Walker Banks , playing the same fiddle
which had so often in the past done pleasant
service. The party broke up at midnight.
Rev. Oscar Hugo, the Hungarian exile for

The Pioneer Minstrels performed to a good
audience at National Hall, Thursday night.
The song singing, witticisms and farces were,
well executed, the banjo playing of- Allen,
Adams, Bartram and Bouton being spoken of
as excellent. Taking all in all the company
exhibited talent which, in the near future, if
they subject themselves to proper practice,
will secure better paying houses than that
which greeted them. ‘
The OldFolks propose to hold their 2d an-
nual dance at Sturges hall,on or about Febru-
ary 20th. Mr J W Hurlbutt says it will be
a rouser, and he is backed in that opinidn by -
manyladies and gentlemen who are satisfied
to dance one night in the year and eat one‘
good supper. The table will be' spread at the
hotel which is a guarantee that it. will be .ex-
cellent. Those hankerilg for a good time
without the inconvenience of modern cere-
mony, will do well to hand in their names to
the committee of arrangements.
The l-Vestporter has published a list of
Westport enlisted men who served in Con-
necticut regiments during the War of the re-
bellion. It forms interesting reading and is
worth preserving. ' One can scarcely credit
the fact that so many from among us were in,
the ranks and that so large a number either
received injuries or lost their lives. . To the
list should be added the names of him West-
port boys, both of whom died in the service,
viz z—Henry Richards, John Tilbee. Though
serving in regiments sent from other states
memories of their virtues and their devotion
to the cause of country will ever be cher
lama. ' ' -
Thursday, in Saugatuck, a horse belonging
to a Mr. Hayes, of South Norwalk, was tak-
en with llle blind staggers, to alleviate which
he was-driveninfo Foley’s blacksmith shop
where he was subjected to the bleeding pro-
cess. The horse, disliking the sight or taste
of his owh blood made a rush through *the
back door of the shop on to the dock, and
before he could be restrained, into'th‘e river.
His weight broke the thick ice and there was
great flOundering. With difficulty the ani-
mal was pushed along the ice to a market
boat lying a} the rear of Hubbell & Wake-
m'an’s store, where, by aid of blocks and
tackles, he was hoisted to the docks and final-
ly to term firma again. ‘ The injuries sus-
tained were not severe and the horse and its
driver went away rejoicing “PAUL.”
The Bridgeport horse railroad is a source
of continued loss to its owners, but the fare
will be reduced to five cents.—Ewchange..
Now if the company would runa car

eventually rejoice in dividends.

WEST STRATFORD.
Some little excitement was caused“ among
our citizens last week, amounting to indig—
nation. The facts ore as follows :—A cow
was taken sick and had to be killed. and the
owners of the animal after killing it,attempt-
cd to sell it to a prominent Lbutcher of this
place, by representing to him that they had
just killed it, and that a Bridgeport butcher
would take it if he (the West Stratford butch-
heard of it, and how he had been named in
such a transactiOn, he became justly indig-
nant and called upon the owners of the cow
. and threatened them with prosecution unless
they disposed of the cow in some other man-
ner than selling it for meat, andthc cow was
finally taken to a fit-rendering establishment
of Bridgeport and disposed of.
The Lyceum met last. Tuesday evening and
was well attended. A communication was
received from Miss A. Lulu Raymoadpf Port
Chester, in regard to a. reading or recitation
which she would give in this place, provided
that she and the Lyceum could 'agree as to
terms etc. Discussion on the ‘qucstion,
"Ought Chinese immigration to be abolished
as being detriment to American mechanics."
In the absence of Mr. Lobdell, C. H. Porter
opened for the affirmative, and was followed
by A. Fairchild in the negative. The sides
as chosen then spoke, including Messrs. De-
vinc, Young and Quin for the affirmative and
Vaill, Smith and T. W. Wood for the nega-
tive. Discussion on the question will be re-
sumed on Tuesday evening, Feb. 4tll.- The
people of this community are taking a lively
interest in the Lyceum, and it is much better
for our young men to spend an evening in
such a place than to meet at some corner grog
shop to discuss scandal, and the writer wish-
es to say one thing for the young men of this
place, and that is, they do not stand on the
street corners and cxpectorate tobacco juice
on the pavement, or insult ladies who happen
to be passing along the street, by vulgar- re-
marks. . _ .
Mr. John Fancher is happy. If anyone
doubts it let that one notice- the appearance
of his countenance. It is continually wreath-
ed in smiles. Cause, a fine bouncing boy.
Your correspondent saw on Saturday last,
the large sleigh that the Odd Fellows of Nor-
walk used as a means of conveyance a short
time ago, when theyyisited Bridgeport, and
which gave way with them on thier home—
that the men that ~drew that sleigh from
Green’s Farms to Norwalk, were a brave set
of men, but we should judge from the ap-
pearance of that new pole that it will stand
more of a racket next time. .
The Bridgeport Horse Railroad Company
has reduced its fare to five cents, a want
which has long been felt by the public. The
fare was formerly eight cents and people re-
fused to patronize the road because the fare
was so higll, and'consetfuently the road has
been run at a less for several years back.
is to be hoped that under the new order of
things the public will {liberally patronize it.
The Sewing Machine Cabinet Company, of
the same place, has reduced the pay of its
employees thirty per cent. The Howe Com-
pany is about to start up with a laage addi-
tion to its employees, but a greatly reduced
rate of wages. ~ .
W yllis Chamberlain, a painter, in the em-
ploy of W. F. Swords, of Bridgeport, on Fri-
day last fell from a ladder and received in-
juries from which he died _in about fifteen
minutes after. He had been cautioned as to
the unsafe condition of the ladder upon which
he was working, but did not heed the warn-
ing and consequently met his death in the
manner named. Deceased was about sixty-
seven years of age, a quiet exemplary maul
and a true, earnest christian. The writer
was well acquainted with him and conse—
quently speaks whereof he knows. . At the
time Mr. Chamberlain met his death his wife
was unconcious from the effect of ,a paralytic
stroke and died within a few hours of him.
United in life in death they were not divid-
ed. One crossing the dark river only a few

The Dutch Company’s New
Agency? . '
The establishment in this-city of an agency
of the Netherland Trading society, of H01-
land, ls regarded as an important indication
of rcturnmg prosperity, and a recognition by
forelgn companies of the importance of the
American market. This companyfivell
known as the “Dutch.Company,” has a cap-
ital of over $14,000,000. - It was established
in 1824, and its original contract with tho. »
Dutch Government for a_term of twenty- ,
five years has been renewed twice. ‘By its
charter it was empowered by the Govern-
ment to do all acts of commerce in accord—
ancc with the Dutcll law. The action of the
Board of Managers is under the supervision
of the King, by whom they are appointed.
The company was the project of the grand—
father of the present King of Holland, and
had for its purpose the extension of the trade
of Holland and its colonies. It was organized
as a company of limited liability, and the
reigning sovereign is said to have a large
amount of its stock. '
To the commercial world the company has
been known as an old-fashioned,conservative
corporation of large resources, distinguishl d
for the sagacity and honor of its managers
and success of its enterprises. The company
is the agent of the Dutcll Government, which
owns and controls the products of Java, 811—
lnatra, Borneo, and other East India Islands.
The chief products of these islands have
been sold for many years ill Holland at open
auction. The first transplanting of coffee
in Java was made about 1700,by a Hollandlr
from Mocha, and tile first product was sent.
to Amsterdam for sale in 1712. In Java and
Sumatra the sovereign was, according to
Indian notions, the sole owner of the sol;
Under these old Indiall laws the Dutch Gov-
ernment has made the culture of cofl'ee a
complete monopoly. In the districts adapted
to its growth the inhabitants are obliged to
attend to the cullivaticn of it, each family
planting about 650 trees. he taxes are paid
by their labor, for which their remuneration .
is about Sicents, American currency, a (lay.
Besides growing, they are compelled to pick
and clean the berries and deliver the coffee
at government magazines. The right to
plant coffee trees and the free disposal of the
yield are not permitted. The cultivation of
coffee is attended with difficulties similar to
those that beset grape culture in Europe.
New plantations yield fruit after four or five
years, while the trees require in all stages of
growth constant care and expense. The
Dutch Government also owns extensive tin
mines in the islands of Banca and Billiton,
and estates of sugar, indigo, tobacco and
cincllano. .
For the transportation and sale of all them
products, the Dutch Company is the agent of
the Government. It has branches at all the.
prinClpal ports throughout the Dutch East
Indies and in Japan, and correspondents in
Australia, China, ’Ceylon and British India.
The prdlucc controlled by the company com-
prises Java and Sumatra coffees and sugars,
indigo, spices, nutmegs, tortoise shell, etc.
The business proposed by the society in the
United States is both financial and commer—
‘cial, the agency being empowered to execute
orders for the purchase and sale of merchan-
dise and securities. The management of the
agency in this city has been placed in the
hands of Stanton Blake and of Oliver S.
Carter and Henry E. Hawley, of the firm of
