CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
It is reported that the agents of the insur-
ance companies who had- policies on the saw
mill of Mr. Street, which was burned on
Friday evening, a week since, after a very
firey lalk, have compfomiscd and agreed to
pay the most of the amount. '
Quiet reigns about us during the lenten
season, cxceptthe tattling tongues of a few
who know others’ business better than their
own. '
Some surprise is manifested at the an
nouncement in the GAZETTE that uncle Sam-
uel's servants had established a new postal
route between this city and “Noroton” and
Cannot conceive the why or wherefore. We
have confidently predicted that our post of—
fice would soon become a distributing office,
for all such cities as Darien, Row-away-Tom,
Noroton and New Canaan, and presume that
there is a mistake in the announcement, or
else the post officials are not acquainted with
the location and importance of the West Nor-
walk post oflicc,

and took away all his smoked. hams and
nearly all of his pork, besides helping them-

fine neighborhood the next morning quite in'

thought him to be the incendiary who fired
Mr. Street’s mill, but no arrest has bee
made.

WEST STRATFORD.
Some person who co'uld not have been
very well posted informed the Bridgeport
Standard last Thursday, that public senti-
ment in the northern portion of the Borough
Of \Vest Stratford is sti‘ougly in favor of
annexation to Bridgeport..but such is not
the case. No property owner of the north-
ern part of said Borough is 'in favor of such
a course. What they do favor is going back_
to the town of Stratford.
Alexander Leverty, of Bridgeport, has
purchased the property on old Mill Hill
known as the “Alvord farm," price twelve

make that city his future home.

COTTON MILL Brianna—The cotton mill
owned by Mr. Thomas R. Lees, situated
about half a mile above the village bridge
took fire this (Monday) morning and was
totally destroyed. Mr. Lees was awakened
by the cry of fire at about half past twelve
o’clock and barely had time to reach his
office and secure his account books and
valuable papers lodged therein. Volumes
of smoke and flame prevented saving any
of the machinery or manufactured stock
which the mill contained. Pioneer Hook
& Ladder company, “Vigilant” engine com-
pany ever vigilant, and “Compo” boys with
their machines were promptly on the ground,
the first named leading. but the fire had
gained such headway that their efforts to
save the building or any of its contents
proved fruitless. The total loss is $30000,
insured on building, stock and machinery
in seven different companies in an amount-
aggregating $15,830.
The mill was constructed of native stone,
about the year 1818, its original cost being
$20,000. The company which built it was
incorporated by not of the legislature at its
session in Hartford, in May of. that yea. and
was known as the “Riehmondville Manufac-
.turlng Company,” such men as Eliphalet
Swift, Ebenezer Jessup, David Richmond,
and Lewis Raymond, well—known citizens of
what was then a remote corner of Norwalk,
being-among the corporators. Business-(lid
not seem to thrive under their management
and the mill had'a varied history of succes—
ses and failures until the year 1844,when Mr.
Lee's father leased it and began operations in
cottbn manufacture there. In 1849 the pres-
ent owner purchased the entire establishment
nd, as islwell known, business has thrived
with him ever since. From forty to sixty-
five persons were employed, and for nearly
thirty-one years—there being a break of nine
months in 1860—the mill has been in con—
stant operation. Twine, warp, wick and cord
of all sizes have been the chief goods manu-
factured, requiring the aid of twenty-tw‘o
carding machines and consuming annually
two hundred tons of raw cotton. It was the
ohly mill for the making of these articles in
Fairfield county. All through the panic of
’57 and the depression following the breaking
out of the war of the rebellion, Mr. Lees
maintained his average of persons employed,
oftentimes giving them their wages at an
actuiil loss. It can be truly said that no sin-
gle citizen in a given length of time has paid
out more money which has been steadily
spent among, and for the benefit of our vil-
lage merchants than be. In this sense the
burning of this mill is a public calamity as it
will deprive a large number of the means for
along time of earning their daily bread. Mr.
Lees has the sympathy of all the good peo-
ple in this community.

Last Thursday, warmed in their winter
bed by the genial sun, a frog and turtle,more
sensitive than the neighbors sang a few
faint notes by way of expressing gratitude
for the return of Spring. Sunday‘s freshly
formed ice tended to discourage them.
While legislators and some other good
men are croaking loudly about the ill ef-
fects likely to be produced by the enforce-
ment of the new tramp law, which goes
into effects April 7th, 1879, the ladies who
keep house and have been annoyed bp one
of the most nuisances known to our modern
civilization ; rejoice at the prospeCt of relief
from apeculiar kind of trouble. Tramps
have infested this section of late, some days
calling by the dozen at one house. These
tramps have often been unmindful of the
rules of breeding, failing to show also
proper gratitude for favors shown. ' The
ladies are glad that the law will attend
to this class of people, and will also enable
them hereafter to exercise in its true sense
that charity born of a kind heart charact~
artistic of their sex, which prompts them
to relieve the really worthy poor, and
hungry who may call at their doors asking
alms.

The good effects from using cobble stones
as a basis for sidewalks, may be observed
on Wright street, front of Mr. A. Renoud’s
home. Mud is almost a stranger there,
while on either side of the walk a pedes-
trian is likely by making an indiscreet step
to mire partially out of sight. With the
return of Springf one may see to what
dangers citizens walking there may be sub-
jected. When we reflect that on West-
port’s seventeen odd square miles of surface
exist cobbles enough to bottom three feet
deep a double sidewalk from here to New
Haven, there can be no reasonable excuse
for negligence of an important duty on the
part of the toWn authorities.
The addition of new roofs, piazza, bay-
windows, &c., to Mr. Frederick Morehouse’s

Some idea of the inconvenience; which
would ensue if Nash’s mill and all its varied
machinery were removed altogether, may
be had from a survey of the condition of
things now around the mill, caused by the
dam breaking,foreing entire cessation of busi-
ness during this, the most important part of
the year. Patrons hope Mr. Nash may be
able to speedily repair the damage from
which they and be are suffering. .
The funeral of the late Frederick Guyer,
which took place Wednesday afternoon,
from Memorial Church was an occasion
suggestive of sad thoughts. The large at-
tendance of friends, who came to take part
in the religious ceremonies attest this fact.
A gloom seemed to hang over the village
where deceased was best known which was
enhanced by the closing of all the stores
during the funeral hour,-—an act on the part
of village merchants which spoke eloquently
of the regard in which} the departed, though
a young man, was held. The-casket con-
taining the remains bore upon its lid nat-
ural flowers wrought in many shapes, the
same being carried up the church aisle and
placcdiu front of the chancel by six as-
sociates of deceased,—Messrs. C. H. Kem-
per, C. 3- Lyon, A. T. Burr, E Kem-
per, Jas. G. Hyatt and P. R. Foote. Rev.
A. N. Lewis, rector, conducted the ser-
vices, assisted by. Rev. John R. Williams

was also present. Pioneer H. & L Com-
pany of which‘ deceased was a member,
attended in a body, delegations from Compo

service for the burial of the dead being
read. The choir sang “Nearer, my God,
to Thee,” and “Thy will be done.” These
ended, the remains were conveyed to Willow
Brook cemetery where, as a part of the
ceremony, the choir sang ‘;I heard a voice
from Heaven, etc.” As the closing pas-
sage of this beautiful sentence, “For they
rest from their labors.” died away, a touch—

The Farmer’s Club held its ninth meeting
at the residence of the president, Joseph
W. Jennings, Monday night of last week,
when that gentleman in treating the sub-
ject of “Tree Fruits," gave a history of the
introduction into this country of the apple,
pear, peach, quince and cherry tree, citing
interesting facts pertinent to the subject.
Also, how to prepare the ground for apple
trees, how to set them out and when to
prune them; :also as to the best paying
vai-ietics to adopt was elaboratly treated.
In his opinion holes for the trees should
be dug in the fall as the winter frost pul-
VCI‘IZC the soil and makes it better for the
young roots of the trees. The soil should
thereafter be yearly cultivated and cropped,
until the trees are large enough to sustain-
themselves. Relative to pruning Mr. J.
cited an apt old adage “Trim when your
knife is sharp." June is the' bestmonth
for this work, though mild days in October
may be improved- In packing winter
apples, he recommended the use of new
and tight barrels, the fruit to be picked by
hand and placed therein 'with the stems
downwards. After touching lightly on
peaches, cherries and pears _which, in his
opinion could be profitably grown in this
climate with proper care bestowed, he
tarried a moment among the various kinds
of quinces, in the raising of which he
thought there was much profit. These re-
quired a soil of rich, heavy, moist loam
which should be prepared the samc'as for
apples. .The injury wrought upon the
bodies of apple trees near their roots by
mice and other vermin gnawing :tllf; bark
was treated, and an important method was
offered as a means to save the life ‘of trees
when girdled, viz, the careful application
of split apple twigs to the injured part. If
skillfully done the sap would rise and are
long thc,tree would outgrow _its blight.
Messrs. William Burr, E. Redford, T. B.
and II. Wakeman gave views of their ex-
perience in tree culture, showing their
thorough familiarity with the subject. The
club named the following as the best 'va-
rieties of apples for different seasons: For
Summer,——Red Astrakan and Harvest; Au-
tumn,—Fall Pippins, Gravenstein, Porter
and Pound Sweet '5 Winter,-—Baldwin,
Rhode Islan. Greenings, Roxbury Russet
and IIubbardson’s Nonesuch. This (Mon-
day) cvening at the house of Mr. Chas.
Wakeman, Mr. Fred. Redford will essay
upon "Small Fruits.” PAUL.
Republican Vermont.
Senator Justin S. Morrill sent a letter to
the Vermont republican convention in which
he says “that the mission of the republican
party is not yet ended. It has more work
yet to do, and it alone can preserve what
it has aleady done. There can be no dis-
pute, should this party lose its control over
national affairs, that many pages of existing
statutes would soon be missed, and that the
latest amendments of the constitution would
be expunged as northern heresies. It is not
only obvious that southern democrats claim
to largely out-number their northern co-
labors, but that they claim to have intel-
lectual force and drilled men and some other
visible advantages, and, therefore, can con-
trol their party much at will. _At present
they seek credit for great forbearance,though
it is that, kind of forbearance which never
fails to treat itself at the next opportunity
But the power behind the southern members
which pours into the House of Representa-
tives a flood of bills claiming from the
Treasury sums of startling magnitude,though
the executive branch of the government is
known to present barriers, shows what
might be expected if all branches of the
government were known to be in harmony
with. the confederate tendencies 'of the
House.

HARTFORD, March 14, 1879.
The special legislative committee On a
reduction of railroad fares held a final hear-
ing at the room of Mr. Colyer, house chair-
man, in the United States hotel, on Wednes-
day evening.
Mr. Catlin, 0f Harwinton, said the fares
on the Naugatuck road were the same as in
1864. There is complaint over the discrim-
inations made in freights. rThe road pays
ten per cent, dividends and the stock is
watered to the amount of $600,000. The
capital stock is $2,000,000, with a large sur-
plus amounting to about $600,000. .
Colonel Hoyt, of Greenwich, said there is
no complaint over general commutation rates
on the Consolidated road. Local commu-
tation rates are very much out of proportion
compared with through rates. To Stani—
ford, five miles, is $40 a year; ,to New
'York, twenty-nine miles, $90. The people
are well-accommodated by train s, but there
is dissatisfaction expressed, at the high rates
for single fares. There has been no re-
duction of fares since the war, except by
excursion tickets good for one day. These
it was thought should be good for three or
more days. The petitioners are all good men,
and all names are bonafidc. -
Mr. H. W. Hatch, of New Milford,
spoke of the Housatonic road. There is
more complaint over freight than fares,
though fares are considered too high.
Through cars from the west costSlO more to
stop at New Milford than to run through to
Bridgeport.
Mr. Stannard, of Westbrook, gave a
statement of rates on the Shore Line road
furnished him by a produce dealer. Special
rates on hay and straw from Westbrook, to
New Haven or New London, average per
ton $1.90 ; on Valley road, $1.65 Regular
rates Shore Line road, average €32.33. Fig—
ures were given on other classes of freight;
potatoes from Westbrook to New Haven
by the hundred bushels cost six cents a
bushel. He himself had been charged $9 a
car for 3.},- miles,' and the Valley road charged
only $11 for forty-five miles. _
Mr. Walter Palmer, of Plainfield, said it
cost $77 for 1,000 bushels of corn, 1,000
miles from Peoria, Ills, and $16 from
Jewell City, eight miles, and from Plainfield
to Central Village. three miles $10. The
shipper does the loading'and unloading in
both places. -
Mr. Wells, of Stratford, said the petition-
ers were among the best men in town. The
people he represented thought the Consoli—
dated road ought to carry passengers for
two cents a mile, the same as the New York
Central. ‘
Mr. Warner, of Berlin, said the petition-
ers in his town were mostly workingmen.
All think the rates are too high. Wages
have been reduced and we think fares ought
to be come down. Several other members
testified as to the high standing of the
signers to the petition in their towns.
The committee hold a meeting ingthc earl y
part of next week to consider the matter
brought before them, and will then decide
upon the report to be made to the general
assembly, .
_ The bill passed to abolish steam dredging
for fish, and protect oyster lots and fisher—
ies, were debated at great length. Mr.
Colyer made a fine plea for the fishermen,
of whom he drew a neat picture, as indus-
trious, toiling citizens, and the school of our
navy. . p
The senate has concurred with the house
in passing the bill for simplifying legal
procedure in civil causes. Eighteen sena-
tors were present of whom twelve voted
in the affirmative on the finalvote. An ef-
fort will probably be made to have the
matter reconsidered but to suppose it would
would be successful would be to suppose
that the senate is engaged in boys’ play.
The committee on woman suffrage in the
legislature has reported adversely on all the
bills referred to it relating. to the extension
of the suffrage to women. The bills were
three in number—allowing tax-paying wo-
mon‘ to vote, giving than: the privilege of
voting in school district meetings; and
permitting them to' vote on all questions
relating to the sale of liquor. But two
members of the committee voted to make
a favorable report on any of the bills.
Mr. P. T. Barnum distributed on Wednes-
day, complimentary tickets to members of the
General Assembly for admission to his
“greatest show on earth,” which will in May
visit Stamford, Danbury, Bridgeport, Water-
bury, New Haven and Hartford.
Both Houses of the Legislature adjourned
Friday until Tuesday. The present expect—
ation is to finish the business of the session
subtantially, next week, and then adjourn
for a few days—probably one week—to give

Yesterday was the anniversary of the
death of St. Patrick, the good patron saipt
of Ireland who is credited with the conver-
sion of the Irish people from barbarism to
Christianity. Contrary to the general belief
'he was not a native of Ireland, but was
born in Scotland. He was twice captured
by marauding bands and taken to Ireland,
and after his second escape he resolved to
become a missionary» to the Irish people.
His original name was Succath, and the
name Patricus was bestowed upon him by
Pope Celestine. He died in Down, Ulster
March 17, 473 or 475. There was no
special observance .of the anniversay in
this vicinity, and the weather must have
nearly ruined the parades in New York and
Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is to have another ministerial
trial which will probably attract, great atten-
tion. Mr. Talmadge is to be tried for con-
duct unbecoming a minister,——to put it mild-
ly. His sensational style of preaching is ob-
jectionable, his character for truth and ve-
racity is under a cloud, &c. He is defiant,
and says he will try the Presbytery in his
pulpit, if they do not push on the investiga-
tion immediately. He is evidently not
ga'yiing public sympathy.

Gentlemen—I have been from my youth a suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia, accompanied by severe at—
tacks of' sick headache, lasting three or four days.
I have tried remedies innumerablebut without ob-
taining any permanent benefit. Early this spring
I purchased a bottle of SULPHUR BITTERS;
before I had taken one'bottlc I began to feel the
goodcfl‘ects of it, and havingtaken three bottles
I find myself able to eat any kind of food without
being troubled with dyspepsia. I have had but
one attack of sick headache in that time and that
a very slight one. I gladly give this testimonial
in the hepe that others may be induced to save
themselves such suffering by taking the SUL-
PHUR. BITTERS. MRS. JOHN BARTON,

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 cat SULPHUR BITTERS
have done for me. iltcen years ago I caught a
violent cold riding in a. rain storm. The next. day
I was sick abed with the Typhoid fever,and upon
recovery from thathtwo largo ulcers broke out,
one on each leg, which kept continually discharg-
ing. I have been attended by the best doctors in
the country and at the Bellevue hos ital the doc-
tors wlshed to take one leg off. othing that I
took helped me, and_1 made up my mind to die,
and (lid not care it 1 did. for a. more miserable be-
ing than I could not be. My face was covered
with blotches 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 sea-
shore, 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 waited me and brought me a bot-
tle of your SULPHUR BITTERS for me to take;
I toldhim I would not, Iliad no faith in anything.
He was so persistent in hisdemniids and my who
also cntreated me to tiy it. which I did, and to
my unbotindcd 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-
lar, a thing I had not known f‘pr 1h years. ’Ilie
eruptions left my body, those disquieting ulcers
on my legs began to cease discharging and grow
smaller every day, and now, thanks to a merciful
God. I am Well. 1 can now walk thrcq miles with-
out fatigue, and I have gained in weight twenty-
two pounds. My skin is smooth". I have taken
eight bottles, undone ulcer is perfectly cured and

and so weak that I was unable to work, and could
sit up only part of the time. I‘llfltl tried quite a
number of physicians from time to time, with
llttle or no benefit, and after hearing of Dr. Frolic
I resolved to consult him. I did so. He describ-
ed my feelings exactly, and thought he could
cure me. I put myself under his treatment, and
am happy to say that his Magnetism and his Veg.
stable Medicines have worked wonders. for me,
for my lungs are now strong. I have regained my
