CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
Since our last communication comparative
quiet has reigned, partly on account of Lent,
and for thereason that excitement has played
out. There is much to talk about notwith-
standing it is not likely that our city charter
will not be passed at this session of the Leg-
islature, the committee on cities being so
overrun with work, especially the work of
amending the charter of our sister city, and
legalizing the illegal acts of the councilmen,
after a number of years have passed. Town
affairs and town officials have been discussed,
Taxes were referred to. and the best plan for
proper repairs of the highways, making the
gutters on the side of the streets instead of
the center, have been talked over with much
earnestness but without coming to any defi-
nite conclusion.
Great interest is always manifested on
the arrival of-the Norwalk and Bridgeport
weeklics, the last number of the GAZETTE
giving great satisfaction, especially the letter
of ye old time honest democrat, the snake
story, and the letter of Nasby on Bragg,
which was declared by one resident to be
worth a year's subscription.
The proposed amendment making the ses-
sions Of the Legislature biennial was brought
up, and generally favored, until our Green
back advocates (and their number is increas-
ing), learned that there would be no opportu-
nity to elect a Greenback representatives for
two years. This is sufficient, and their
influence will be felt if the~mattcr is ever
referred to the people for their approval.
Another subject was broached upon which
there seemed much ignorance, and that was
the names of the present Town Officers.
Some could name the two Selectmen, but
none agreed upon who was the third, most
thinking that Mr. Smith was a Selectman
still, others that Mr. Price was the third.
Would it not be well for you to publish the
names of the town officials from haywards
‘down, that it might be placed in every office,
store and post office in our city as a public
convenience. -
Dr. Spencer, of Trinity chapel, South Nor-
walk, occupied the pulpit of Union chapel,on
Sunday 23d ult., preaching a very interesting
sermoufounded on the text, “Thou art the
man."
The report of the selectmen and school'
visitors have-beenvreceived, read and com-
mented upon. .But none seem to see where
that protest can with any sense come in.
Rev. Mr. Bradford, of Darien, ,occupied
the chapel pulpit on last Sabbath afternoon,
preaching to a good and attentive audience,
from the text “Almost Thou pursuadest me
to be a Christian.”
One proof of the statement made by the
Sentinel correspondent, in regard to our
school was given by an eleven year old pupil

of a celebrated lecture, to be given on health,
to which the “public is invited." She says,

Mr. William Brown has so far recovered
that he can use his limbs more freely.
Roads are in many .places badly washed. '
_. On some of the hills, however, there is so
much solid ice that horses, even if well cork-

on the steep hill near Platt’s Corners. NO
harm done, however, beyond the fright)

It pays to be careful sometimes. A farm.
er Of Towanda, Pa, sold a load of hay a few
days ago agreeing to deliver it. The barn of
the purchaser is in the rear of a marble yard.
The farmer was told to drive in on the west
side of the shop. He thought he could get
in better on the east side, where a number of
marble monuments were standing. The hay
struck one of these monuments. It fell over
against a second one. The second one crash-
ed against a third. All three were broken.

that was the value of the monuments de-

An impressive ceremonial, adding to the
sadness and gleam which came with the ad-
vent of the Lenten season, took place Sun—
day afternoon, at Memorial church. It was
the funeral of Mrs. Sidney Watt, a lovely
young woman who died suddenly, Thursday,
at her residence here after a. brief-illness in
the 26th year of her age. During the short
period since her coming to this place she had
made many warm personal friends who were
present at the church to manifest their sor;
row. Rev. Mr. Lewis conducted the servi-
ces which will! the music were in keeping
with the event. The burial took place in

The Kelly mill property sale has been post-
poned to March 12th,next week Wednesday.
Rarely is there offered a property, all things
considered, more valuable than this. In the
hands of the right kind of man it is capable
of yielding not only a good income but a
fdrtune. ~ In the mill are seven run of first-
class stone and floating machinery of modern
and approved construction. Thousands.of
dollars had been spent by the late Mr. Kel-
ley, who was apractical mechanic, to render
the mill complete in all its parts. The dam
is of solid stone masonry and, and as is well
known, the stream 'which supplies water
power is never failing. Drowth affects it
only slightly. The whole thing is, we un—
derstand, to be offered at a fair price and on
favorable terms. _ .
“Wine, Water, W it, Wisdom, and Wo~
men,” is the subject of a lecture to be deliv-
ered Friday evening, March ’7, at National
Hall, by Rev. W. B. Afileck, for the benefit
ofthe M. E. church. In the hands of a man
of genius, such as the Rev. gentleman is rep-
resented tO be, the lecture should develop
enough Of interest to draw a large audience.
aCaplain William C. Staples has or is about
to present to the First National Bank for its
use a set of printed rules for the guidance of
business customs. The rules were not con-
too much z'ronry in them, but they are deem-
ed appropriate, aud if adopted, likely tO' re-
sult in great public benefit, especially to
traveling insurance agents.
The stOue dam which a few years ago was
built-under the supervision of Mr. Flfvius
Clark of Norwalk, and cost a large sum Of
money, broke partially away Thursday last,
and for a time threatened to sweep every-
thing before it. There was a good deal of
excitement in the vicinity in consequence,
the only cool’lman being Mr. Edward H.
Nash, proprietor, who proceeded to secure
his grain and other valuables in the mill, and
to do all possible to avert a calamity. He
succeeded, as the water In the pond was, in
the course of a few hours drawn down to a
point where dangerfrom its flow was im-
possible. The break developed at thebot-
tom of the dam near the. centre, and was
caused by water working its way through
interstices imperfectly filled with cement,
indicating faulty construCtion. The collapse
of this dam has been foreseen for a long
time, and it is fortunate for the owner that
the break occurred during daylight, and
while he was on the premises. It is thought
the work will have to be taken down and
rebuilt. .
Westport farmers are interested in the

and discussed the question chosen for the
evening, which was, “Resolved that ignor-

Mr. D. C. Wood has given up all hope
of ever receiving the ax back that he lent
a short time ago and consequently does not
place much confidence in promises that
strangers make, especially if that stranger
happens to be a tramp. The facts about
the ax are as follows: About two weeks
ago a tramp called at Mr. Wood’s house
and asked for something to eat and said he
would do work enough to pay for his
breakfast if be (Mr. Wood) would give it
to him. ' Mr. Wood gave him a good break-
fast and then provided him with an ax and
sent him on the way to the woods to Chop
long enough to pay for his breakfast, and
neither tramp or ax have been heard from
since. .‘
Postmaster Vail has provided a handsome

two worthy young men and it is to be hoped
that they will receive a liberal share of the
patronage of the public. Mr. Wood has
retired from the business to engage in
another occupation which he thinks will pay
better. He has bought a tract of woodland
in Stratford and has erected on it a steam
saw-mill and kindling wood establishment.

Did you ever think, friend, what a charm
there is in good appearance? We mean the
appearance, which a good toilette—not an
expensive one, but a good one—gives, es-
pecially to a lady? A neatly fitting dress;
a bit of color at the threat; a flower or a
ribbon in ,the hair of a shade to match; a
bright expectant face to greet the husband's
return; just a little brighter and more hap-
pily expectant than is given to the coming
of any other man. Do you realize how
much of sWeetest influence and of happiest
efiect there is in these and other home ap-
pearances? And then the songs ; the old
songs that you used to sing to him in the
sweet days when you were first loving him
and he was growing to first love you. Have
you given them all up? If so, why P Is love
less sweet than of Old? Are the loving ways
less blessed? Have you allowed the nature
tO grow Old in the sweet spring season of
your endless life, in which God intended it
should grow fresher and younger continually?
If you are too Old to have loving ways you
are tn old to live. Please die.

In an anniversary sermon preached by the
Rev. Dr.; Anderson, of Waterbury, he recited
some facts concerning the Congregational
churches of Connecticut :
“Fourteen years ago these churches num-
bered two hundred and eightysfive; fifty-two
~dred and seventy-eight had installed pastors;
the proportion of acting pastors and installed
pastors being one to three, the average-pasto-
rate being nine years, for acting pastors
three years. Seven years later the number
of churches had increased from two hundred
and eighty-five‘to two hundred and ninety—
two; the number vacant had diminshed from
fifty-two to forty-four; the installed pastors
from one hundred and seventy-eight to one
hundred and sixty-six, while the acting pas-
tors had increased from fifty-five to eighty-
two; the term Of pastoral service had been
reduced from nine to six, and acting pastors
from three years to two. January, 1878, the
churches had increased from two hundred
and ninety-two to two hundred and ninety-
eight; the vacant pulpits had diminished from
forty-four to thirty-five; the number of in-
stalled pastors form one hundred and
sixty-six to one hundred and forty-seven ; and
the number of acting pastors had increased
from eighty—two to one hundred and sixteen.
Now the acting pastors number one hundred
and twenty. Since 1865 the average term of
a pastorate has increased from six to seven
years. These facts were mentioned partly to
show that the churches are looking to other
bonds‘ than those of the installation ceremony,
tO' secure permanency. Of all the two hun—
(1er and ninety-eight Congregational church
as in the state to-day, only fourteen have the
same minister they had fourteen year's ago;
the Rev. Austin Punam, of Whitncyville,has
been there forty years; the Rev. J. L. Wil-
lard, of W cstvillc, twenty-three years; these
two in New Haven county. The Rev. Dr.
Burr has been in Lyme. twenty-eight years.
'The Rev. Francis Williams,in Chaplin, twen-
ty—one years; the Rev. Dr. Parker, in Hart-
ford, nineteen years; aud the rest are for the
most part in small country parishes and un-
known to the State at large. The average of
the fourteen is twenty-three and one-third
years. ' It is largely a different ministry
which serves our churches to-day from that
Of fourteen years ago,with different methods,
a different theology, and somewhat different
spirit.” ‘ ‘

It is With a. happy heart I write these few lines
to you, and I want everybody 1n the whole world
to know what your great SULPHUR BITTERS
have done for me. _ Fifteen years ago I caught a
Violcutcold riding in a. rain storm. The next day
I w lck shed with the Typh‘oid fever,and upon
reco ry from that,_two large ulcers broke out,
one on each leg, which kept continually discharge
ing. I have been attended by the best doctors in
the country, and at the Bellevuc-hos ital the doc-
tors wishcd to take one leg on". othin that I
took helped me, and I made up my min to die,
ing than I could not be. My face was covered
with blotches and scales. and my body with erup-
tions. Ihave been wheeled around for the net
srx‘year and spent thousands 61' dollars. cat
s ring Dr. Spencer advised me to go to the sea-
s lore, and perhaps the change would do me good
but to no purpose, as I rapidly grew worse. an
my Wife and friends gave me up. On the first of
July Mr. Moore visited me and brought me a bot-
tle of your SULPHUR BITTERS for me to take;
I told him I would not, I had no faith in anything.
He was so persistent in his demands and my wife
also entreated me to try it. which I did, and to
my unbounded joy in a few days I be an to feel
better, my appetite improved, and foo began to
look good to me. My bowels began to get regu-
lar, a_thmg I had not known for 15 years. The
eruptions left my body, those disquieting ulcers
on my legs began to cease discharging and grew
smaller every day, and now. thanks to u merciful
God. I pm well. I can now wall; three. miles with-
