CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
Notwithstanding the fine sleighing has
disappéamd. the gathering together on
ThurSdflY evening of 'variOus wheeled ve-
hicles drawn by fiery steeds, was evidence
that something was going on. Inquiry re-
vealed the secret, that a surprise party was
to be given to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson,
late residents of our city, but who have
removed to the city 'Of New Canaan. It is
reported that a very enjoyable time was had
and the host and hostess was greatly sur-
prised.
Mrs. Henry Dcnsmore, Sunday School
Missionary from Michigan, and DOM. B
Pardee, paid a short visit to friends In this
city, which was greatly enjoyed. .
Henry B. Mather, who has been an In-
Valid for some time, is not as well; the
temperature. of this rigorous climate effects
him seriously. .
Rev. Mr. Williams was punctual to his
engagement as usual on Sunday, 16th inst,
and occupied the pulpit Of the Chapel,
preaching a discourse from the words
“Search me O God and Know my heart.
Try me and know my thought” and see if
there be any wicked way in me, and lead me
in the way everlasting. - .
On Friday evening, 141k inst, Mrs. John-
son made a neighborly call on Mrs. Selleck.
Just as the conversation on social affairs
had become animated and interesting, anoth-‘
or Mrs. J ohpson', husband and daughter also
called, and were gladly received, soon
another Mr. and'Mrs. Johnson appeared,
and asked admittance, followed by about
thirty couple, bearing many mysterious
packages, for which they demanded storage
in the kitchen larder. The family, with the
exception of the youngest who had the
secret) were surprised beyond measure, but.
made the best of it. After hours of social
enjoyment, vocal and instrumental musrc
was introduced greatly to the amusement
and enjoyment of all. The ladies had pre-
prepared the cakes, sandwiches and coffee
which were partaken of and quite demolished
in a smprz‘sing—ly short time.
We have spoken .of the activity in our
Sash and Blind factories. Mr. Chauncey
Street filled up his saw-mill preparatory to
sawing the large logs new on hand. Messrs.
Johnson & Son‘s saw-mill has been running
the last week under the supervision of W.
C. Sellcck, who has some of the finest spec-
imens of oak, white wood, ash and chest-
nut that was ever converted into tim-
ber. It looks like old times around the mill-
yard.
Tuesday Evening, February 18th, A. D.,
1870, will long be remembered by the family
and friends of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Ma-
ther, that, date being the 50th anniversary Of
WESTPORT.
Snow fell every day last week except
oney—rFriday. Saturday’s fall made excel-
lent sleighing. Snow plows were in retini-
sition Sunday morning, and Mr. F. More-
house is getting his full quota of thanls
from church goers for the paths he made
leading them in the right way.
Our old friend John M. Pinkncy and Dr.
R. C. M. Page were prominently among
those at the Martha Washington reception
at the Academy of Mn ic, New York,
Thursday night, as direct ( escendants of the
Randolphs and ,othcr contemporaries of the
“Father of our Country.”
During the Lenten season which begins
Wednesday, services will .be held on Wed-
nesdays and Fridays in both Episcopal
churches.
It has been suspected that coons of one
kind or another have been prowling around
Westport for some time, but {it remained
for master John Marvin, son of William II.
Marvin to intercept and ;shoot the kind of
coon which pcsters hen roosts. It took five
bullets from a revolver ' to suite this coon's
case after he had destroyed several valuable
fowls for Mr. Marvin. Coons in general
will do well to take warning from this
coon’s sad cud. o I

Westport was represented at the Con-
tennial celebtation of Putnam’s ride at
Horse Neck, Greenwich Connecticut, Satur-
day. ,
The dance at Sturges Hall, Wednesday
night in honor of “Ye Old Folks,” drew
together more young folks than (old. It was
not to be expected that many octogenarians
would appear either as spectators orupon
the floor. Among the gay crowd however
were seen several-persons whose heads were
marked with lines ,of silver and gray, and
some of them. could not resist the temp-
tation, when “Money Musk,” “Eight Reel,"
“Hunt the Squirrel” or some “Fore and
Aft’er”. was announced. to shake the light
fantastic. The spirit evinced by the dancers
was that of veneratlcn fore the few old
people now lingering among us in whose
honor they had met, and it was pleasant to
hear elegantly dressed young ladies—those
,of whom the world often speaks as cold
and thoughtless caring only for themselves,
remarking, “how much more enjoyable
‘would this evening be if more grandmothers
could have been induced to come hither
with us.” The committee of arrangements
of whom Mr. John W. Hurlbutt, and Dr.
G. J. Underwood were prominent mem-

On Tuesday last, John Leckhart. a grocer
doing business in Bridgeport, and having a
number of customers in this place to serve,
was attending to their wants when from
some unaccountable cause his horse left him
and started for home at a very lively rate of
speed and kept going till he arrived there.
No damage was done to anything, but prob-
ably in the future Mr. L. will bitch that
hdrse when he has occasion to leave him.
What might have proved to be a serious
accident, the same day, fortunately turned
out to be a trival affair. Mr. Leroy Leaven-
worth was driving from this place to Bridge-
port, whcn in turning a corner his wagon
was upset and he was thrown out, but
escaped with only a slight injury to his
shoulder.

The Springfield Republican contains the
following notice of the death of Albert S.
Hancox, whose mother was Angeline Swan,
formerly a resident of this place.
Albert S. Hancox, son of Albert Hancox,
died suddenly at an early hour yesterday
morning at his father’s residence, 27 Pearl
street. He had been apparently in usual
health Tuesday, and in the evening attended
Dr. Buckingham’s lecture at the Sanford
street church. About 10 o'clock he retired
to his room, laid down, and probably fell
into a quiet sleep, from Which he did not
awake. Mr..Hancox’s age was 25 years and
6 months. He prepared for college at our
high school, Where he took high rank in the
classics and mathematics. When 18 years of
age he entered Harvard college without con-
ditions. 111 health caused an interruption of
two years in his studies, so that he graduated
in the class of ’77. Since graduation he has
not been strong enough to continue a regular
professional course of study. although he
has been an earnest student. For one term
he was a successful teacher at the collegiate
institute. His earnest Christian purpose
made him a ready and faithful worker in
such mission work as he thought needed his
help, and for nearly two years he has con-
ducted the Sunday school and has been one
His task, beguiled with songs that shall en-.

This is the carnival season,and a spirit of fun
seems cropping out among artain boys who
feel that night marauding is the height of en-
joyment. This may be true, but certain cit—
izens whose frOnt gates have been unhinged
and exchanged with distant neighbors gates
once or twice, on recent nights, differ from
that view. In fact, so strongly are they im-
pressed that the perpetrators’ need to have
their education improved .in the matter of
good night behavior, that they have provided
themselves With powder, shot and some un-
ground pepper, which same, if occasion de-
mands, they will deposit in sundry gun bar-
rels and discharge the contents at such youth-
ful invaders as may offer themselves as tar-
gets. ' “PAUL.”

The excitement occasioned by the recent
attempt to burn the Morton House, Green-l
wich, has apparantly died away so far as any
general manifestations of interest are con-
cerned. But this feeling of peace is not shar-
ed by the fcw meuwho are concerned in the
Morton’s preservation. The hotel is really
in a state of siege. As soon as early nightfall
comes on, the numerous lanterns about the
grounds are lighted, the biglantern that turns
on aswivel and can be brought to bear on
any part of the water, is rigged and the watch-
men prepare themselves for a long night’s
vigil. Every kind of preparation that can
be conceived of has been made. A large bell
hangs ready to boom out the alarm at any
minute ; tanks of water, Babcock extinguish-
ers, coils of hose, and a whole regiment of
pails and washtubs occupy every nook and
cranny of the verandah; ladders are plenty,
and a couple of big dogs howl half*tho night.
There is even a small brass cannon (a 6 pound-
er) loaded with a blank charge and ready to
bang away at a moment’s notice. The strong
body of watchmen in turn patrol the long
piazzas until morning, and whoever attempts
to burn the hotel is likely to meet a remark-
ably warm reception. And yet there are few
who doubt that such an attempt will sooner
or later be made. There seems to be some
one who has powerful motives for desiring
the building’s destruction, and who will stop
at nothing that can give him success in this
design. Rumor says he is a member of the
late Americus club, but only the wildest
theories are thrown out in explanation of
his motives. The watchmen say that several
attempts have already been made to test the
vigilance of their guard. Not long ago, on a
very dark night when the thermometer was
at zero, a boat with mufllcd oars came through
the darkness, so silently that it was not no-
ticed until it neared the rocks beneath the
verandah. -' Watchmen immediately hailed it.
There was no reply and the movable lantern
was turned only In time to reveal a small
skiff skimming swiftly away. Again, _0nc
moonlight evening when the lamps were not
lighted, several men were noticed among the
dead vines and underbrush in the, woods
along the shore, but on further search being
made they could not be found. It is report-
ed that the insurance companies are so fright-
ened by the recent fire, that they will, if pos-
sible, cancel their risks on the building. The
policies are said to be for heavy amounts,
that on the building being set down at $70,-
000, and that on the furniture at $18,000.

kindly salutation, “I was sorry to hear you

College students and professors enjoy a
joke about as well as anybody, and here is a
collection of the latest specimens gevin in the
College papers:
The Amherst Student tells of a Sophomore
who, in asking for an excuse for his absence
from chapel on Sunday, said he was out
walking, and was so far from college when
the church bells rang that he could not reach
the chapel in season, and so atte nded the
village church. “Who preached there i”
asked the professor. “I don't know,” said
the student, “some stranger.” “Indeed," was
the reverend gentleman’s response, “I am
surprised that you did not recognize me.”
—-—A professor at Williams said to a student
who had guessed unsuccessfully six times on
the first word : “I would suggest, Mr. Blank,
that the meaning of words is not altogether a
matter of original speculation.”———At Boston
University, a student who had repeatedly
failed said for the tenth time, “Not prepar-
cd;” the professor responded, “Well, please
come up front. Front seats are reserved for
spectators.”—-—-“Mr. X., why 'do you get
behind Mr. K. 2’ I want to see you when I
talk to you.” “I was only getting out of the
draught.” “You were avoiding the draught.”
Well, it looks very much as if you were try-
ing to obtain a substrtute.”——“You will
have for one of your subjects for yOur next
essay, ‘Manncrs.” “Can we write on the .bad
manners in college '1’" “0h, certainly; write
about whatever you are best acquainted
with.”--—-“Please close that book and attend
to the recitation.” “I was just putting down
your last point in my note-book, professor.”
“From your rccitations I should judge that
to be your'permanent receptacle for points.”

One time Henry Ward-Beecher went down
to Boston to lecture. In the afternoon he
went into a barber shop 0f great tone and
refinement to be’ shaved. The barber was a
garrulous little fellow, who entertained Mr.
Beecher While he lathered his face with
intellectual conversation. He asked: “Are
you going to the lecture this evening ? Going
to the lecture f” '
“Oh,” Mr. Beecher replied, wearily,
as a man who didn’t take much stock in
lectures, “I don’t know; who‘sgoing to
lecture ?”
“Why,” the amazed barber exclaimed,
“Rev. Henry W’ard Beecher; Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher of Brooklyn. Going to lecture
to—night in Music Hall."
'Mr. Beecher roused up a little with an air
of indifferent-interest. “Oh, well,”hc said,
“if he is going to lecture I guess I’ll have
to go.”
“Got your ticket? Got yodr ticket i"
“No,” Mr. Beecher replied, “I have no
ticket.” ‘
p The barber laughed merrily, “Ha, ha, ha!”
he shouted. “You’ll have to stand up ; you’ll
have to stand up! Seats all gone two days‘
ago ; you’ll have to stand up.”
“Well, now,” said Mr. Beecher. with an
air of grave vcxation, “do you know, that is
just my luck ? I was in Brooklyn last Sunday:
and went over to Plymouth church twice to
hear that'fellow preach, morning and evening,
and both times had to stand up all through
the sermon.” '
And as he went away, the still unenlight-
ened barber laughed at the man who would
“have to stand up” at Mr. Beechcr’s lecture.

It is with a happy heart I write these few lines
to you, and I want everybody In the whole world
to know What your great SULPHUR BITTERS
have done for me. Fifteen years ago I caught a
violentcold riding in a ram storm. The next day ’
I was sick need with the Typhord fever,and upon
recovery from than-two large ulcers broke out.

took helped me, and. I made up my mind to die,
and did not care it 1 did. for a more miserable be-
ing than I could not be. My face was covered
with blotchcs and scales. and my body with erup-
tions. 1 have been wheeled around for the past
six year and spent thousands of dollars. Last
spring Dr. Spencer advised me to go to the 'sca-

but to no purpose, as I rapidly grew worse, an
my wife and friends gave me up. - 0n the first of,
July Mr. Moore visited me and brought me a bot-
tlc of your SULPHUR BITTERSjormc to take;
I told him I would not, I had no faith Ill anything.
He was so persistent in his demapds and my wire
also entrcated me to try It, which I did, and to
my unbounded joy in a few days I began to feel
better, my appetite improved, and food began to
look good to me. My bowels began to get re u-

eruptions left my body, those disquieting ulcers
on my legs began to cease discharging and g‘row
smaller every day, and now. thanks to a merciful
