Dr. Spencer, of Trinity chapel, So. Nor-

afternoon. ‘ Many are pained at the rumor
that he is to leave his parish this spring, and
hope that it is not true.
Notice was given that after the first (I
April, preaching service at the Chapel will
commenée at 4. p. m., and Sunday school at
3 p. m. The “I‘ithing men” wish notice
given that no noises or imitation of “bottle

Incendiary fires have been so frequent in
this city, that an alarm is easily raised. On
Sunday p. m., members of Mr.W.T.Mathcr’s
fitmily were on the stoop about sunset, and
looking eastward toward Mr. Gregory’s house
saw the windows, as they supposed all on
fire. An alarm was given, as the fire seem-

GREENWICH.
”An Historical discourse delivered in the
First Congregational Church of Greenwich"
(“Old Greenwich”) March 16m, by the
pastor Frank S. Child, is published at length
in the Portchester Journal of March 20th.
Text, “Be strong and of a good courage.”
The author traces the history of this primi-
tive church from the settlement of the town
at Greenwich Point (east of Miantis River)
in 1040, under a succession of a score of
ministers, ‘the most famous of whom' was
Rev. Abraham, Pierson, of New Jersey,
afterwards the first President of Yale Col.
lege,—-their second pastor; Rev. Jeremiah
Peck being the first. One of the tutors was
of Norwalk.
Ephraim and Elkanah Mead, J r., have
one to California, probably to settle.
Ray’s Hall is being improved.
STAMFORD.
The Adrocate is not very enthusiastic over
the new “City” charter, and says a decrded
mistake was madein not referring it to the
people for decision. It must_be accepted
now whether the people want it or not. It
' says :—“The idea of the good old town com-
. ing out in all the full blown honors of a city,
dis at first view calculated to gratify local
1
pride, and be hailed with satisfaction as a
great step forward in the path of progess.
But while we yield to.none in devotion to the
best interests of Stamford, we must frankly
confess'that our enthusiasm over this impor-
tant event in local history is mingled with
grave misgivings whether,after all, Stamford
is to obtain any real benefit from the change.
If it means more unwieldly and far more ex-
pensive methods of local government, as it
so often does, it will not prove a blessing, but
,the opposite. We are not aware that a city
charter has been of special benefit to South
Norwalk, while it has greatly increased local
expenses and correspondingly added to taxa-
tion. Nevertheless we hope most sincerely
that the most sanguine anticipations of the
special advocates of the measure Will be
realized, though we are compelled to,regard
'it with more apprehension than hope.’ _

Holders of liquor licenses have heard that
the legislature is considering the propriety of
introducing the new bell punch system which
records two and one-half cents profit for the
State every time a man swallows a glass of
- grog, and one cent for each glues of ale or
lager. ' To them, it seems, if the punch is
adopted the cream of the liquor business, es-
pecially in small places like this, will be prac-
tically lost, while the state will scoop a ver-
itable bonanza leaving only .the skim milk,
as it were, and very thin at that, for their
share. Meantime the drinkers, the class who
under any and all circumstances foot the bills,
are happy in the consciousness that, what-
ever the law makers do, there will be‘ right
along about so much'of the “crittur” for them
to assist in punishing. '
Mr. A. C. Nash’s petition to the legislature
presented by representative Burr, asking the
privilege of docking his property on the de-
pot road extending from John Hubbell's barn

says Mr. N. will erect a fine wharf and grade
tlhc bank now incumbering the property,
which if so done, the river’s channel being on
the west side at that point, will render it a
desirable location for many kinds of business.

The subject matter for discussion at the
10th meeting of the Farmers’ Club held at
the house of Mr. Charles Wakeman last Mun—
day night, was enough to make one’s mouth
water, for the reason that gooseberries,black-
- berries, raspberries; currents and strawberries
were offered on one intellectual dish to ap-
preciative listening tasters. Mr. Fred Bed—
ford dealt out the fruit with his accustomed
skill and judgment, neither sugaring it or
the words he uttered, but coming right down
to business statements which could not be
misinterpreted. He cited six acres in Greens
Farms which had produced 1,203 bushels of
strawberries in one season, the same selling
for $3,300. Think of that, ye wanderers in
the great West, and the Black Hills. An—
other member reported 250 bushels from half
an acre, and one member had picked 75 bush-.
els-in a single day. The currant was a splen-
did paying fruit, the cuttings being in con-
stantly increasing demand. From $1,000 to
$1,400 had been-netted from 23,- acrcs of cur-
rents in one year, at the conclusion the Wil-
son was rated first among strawberries; the
Kittatinny first in blackberries, and the first
of currants was the Versailles. The whole
discussion was lusciously rich and impelled
a man dieting all winter on roast turkey and
beef with turnips and cranberry sauce thrown
in, to long for the opening of summer‘which
gives the garden and its wealth of small fruits.
The club meets this (Monday) evening at the
house of Mr. Charles B. Sherwood, when

Smith Lewis for many years a resident of
this place was buried on Friday last. He
was taken sick about three months'ago with

the large quantity of quinine which he then

Hartford for treatment, but his case was
not considered serious till within the last
week or two when he began to fail very
fast and died suddenly on last Tuesday.

scholars, in fact all of them show remark-
able talent and progress. At the closing
exercises several of the scholars recited
pieces which Mr. Warner the principal of
the school had selected for them—promi-
nent among which was Zack Chandler's
reply to the culogists of Jeff Davis, recited
by Robert Zink and spoken of by all who
heard it as a remarkable effort for a boy of
his age, (and in connection with the foregoing
the writer cannot help expressing the wish
that there‘wcrc more men like Zach Chan-
dler in the Senate.) Burton Munson recited
the'answer of Gen. Joseph E. Reed (of
Revolutionary fame) to the British who
offered him a bribe to betray the patriot
cause and join them. It was finely ren-
dered. Eddie Beach recited anhistorical
piece entitled, “The ruins of Egypt," which
was very interesting and finally spoken.
Our Court of Burgesses is still wrestling

paper had been taken to Hartford and laid

The pitting of Captain Sherwood, Repub—

against the Bourbon nominee for the same
place was a characteristic illustration of the
pending political situation. Sherwood, a
one-legged Union soldier, hobbies back to

crats, and supported in his claims for office
by Republicans only, while a confederate,
hale and hearty and sound in limb and body ,
is safely ensconced in a fat office at the

HARTFORD, March 21, 1879.
We have had a busy week though unable
to complete the business of the session. The
tramp bill, after a few amendments in the
Senate, which on refusal of the House to
concur were afterwards stricken 'out, has
tures of the New Hampshire law are toned
down and modified, and members from the
rural districts, who were the ones most trou-
bled by the tramp, are satisfied. ,5 .
The bell punch liquor law has passed the
House and comes up for action in the Senate,
next Tuesday. A vigorous effort was made
to tack on a rider appropriating $25,000 for
the Walnut Hill Asylum for Inebriatcs, but
it failed, and the law passed with a few
unimportant amendments. ‘
The oystermen have been much exercised
over the passage through the Senate of their
bill to prevent steam vessels from dredging
on the natural oyster beds The Senate
added a_ clause ' allowing the use of steam
vessels two days in the week, and when the
House appointed a committee of conference
over the dispute the Senate adhered to ' its
action, which killed the bill, It was a dis-
courteous act on the part of the Senate, and
unwise as it was uncalled for. The differen-
ces between the two houses could easily have
been arranged and both parties satisfied;
perhaps there may yet be found a way out
of the .d-ifllculty, and if’so the oystermen
may be sure it will be found, for- they have
many warm friends here who are quite as
energetic as their enemies. _
The dome pier investigation coniflifttee has
made its report and gotten out of the scrape
as well as could be expected. It was a dis-
agreeable duty it had to perform, and fortu-
nately there was a poor dead man involved,
who not Qcing present to defend himself
could easily be made a scape goat of, and so
he is made to bear most of the blame; and
'yet it would have been braver to have attack-
ed the living.
The appropriation of $15,000 to build a
separate home for the younger and more in-
nocent boys in the Reform School'at Meriden,

The appropriation of $110,000 for erecting
additional buildings for the insane poor at
Middletown, has passed the Senate and came

The Senate concurred in the action of' the
House on the passage of a bill to give the

and two for one year; and the governor to
remove directors for cause.

RAILROAD rAnEs AND rumours.
The committee on the reduction of railroad
fares made a report recommending the con-
tinuance to the next session of the whole
subject. Also recommending a bill provid—
ing that any company paying 10 per cent.
dividends shall not charge over 2 cents per mile
for passengers, if 8 per cent. 23: cents per
mile; no company shall be compelled to ac-
cept less than five cents for the transporta-
tion of a passenger for any short distance,
nor less than the legal rate of fare per mile,
for fractional parts thereof. No company
shall charge for freight to any station a
original point of departure to any station-at
a greater, distance in the same direction.
Connecting lines shall not charge a greater
sum for transportation for a certain distance
on both roads than one. No company shall
charge a greatergsum per mile for local than
for through freight and passengers. Every
road shall grant equal privileges to all freight
patrons havingthe same’classcs, qualities or
quantities of freight. The Senate voted to
indefinitely postpone, but the House adhered
and a conference committee has been ap-
pointed who will probably agrecto continue
the bill to the next session and publish the
act with the laws of 1879.

and Mrs. Loretta Lee all of Pulteney.
Some little time ago the friends of Mr.
Arthur Wintermutc’s family received cards
of invitation to attend the marriage of their
daughter (to Lucius Horton. The invited
guests, some eighty-five in number, began
to arrive at an early- hour on the appointed
day. After they had gathered, and were
waiting for the entrance of the bridal party,
circle to the effect that there might be a
double wedding; and that the grandfather
of Miss Wintermute, Mr. Seely, and her
great aunt, Mrs. Lee, would be the second
couple. Few believed .the whisper, but
after a little delay the party entered the
parlor in the following order: Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Wintermute, parents of the bride;
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Horton, parents of
the bride-groom; Rev. J. B. Peck, the
officiating minister; Lucius Horton and
Ruth Alice Wintermutc; and last, Albert
Seely and Loretta Lee, the last couple stand-
ing some little distance in . front of the first
couple, and facing them. Aftcr'the first
couple were pronouncedi‘hnan and wife,”
the clergyman turned from them and asked
if there were any others present who wished
to be united in holy bonds of matrimony.
In answer to this Mr. Seely leers. Lee a
step forward, and in a few minutes the
“twain were made one.” This is the most
extraordinary wedding I ever heard of. A
grandfather and granddaughter married on
the same day. There were tlirce'grand-
fathers of the younger couple at the wed-
ding. Albert _Seely, aged .sevcnty'three
years, Henry B. Wintcrmute aged eighty-
nine, and Win. Horton aged eighty-four
years. David Smith aged eighty years, and
his wife Clarissa aged seventy-five years,
the latter Mr. Seely’s sister, were also in
attendance. The elder bride was sixty-four
years old. The marriage of the elder couple
was an unexpected event, so there were no
wedding gifts for them; but there was a
profusion Of beautiful and useful ones for
the younger bride, among which were twen-
ty dollars in money from her grandfather
Seely. There were a number of pieces of
silver, and glass ware. _ It would take a
long time to enumerate them, but their
value amounted to over sixty dollars. The
Pultcncy Band were in attendance in the
evening, and,werc cordially received and
sumptuouslyentertaincd by a most generous
host. and hostess. S.

OPINION OF THE CLERGY.
Simmons’ Liver Regulator is certainly a
specific for that class of complaints which
it claims to cure. If any of our fellow be-

ami-hayc doubts in relation to the ellicacy
of this popular preparation, we can only
ofi‘cr them the simple and candid argu-
ment of Phillip to Nathaniel. “Come and

Gentlemen—I have been from my youth a. suf-
fcrcr from Dyspepsia, accompanied by severe at—
tacks of sick headache, lasting three or four days.
I have tried remedies innumerable but without 9b-
taining anyéicrmancnt benefit. Early this spring
I purchase a bottle of SULPHUR BITTERS ;-
before I had taken one bottle I began to feel the
good cfi'ects of it, and having'taken three bottles
find myself able to eat any krnd 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 hope that other; may be induced to save
themselves such sufi'ering by “thin g the SUL-

This is to certify that for the benefit of suffer-
ing. humanity I wish to make known to the pub-
lic the wonderful cure Dr. Fiskc has made forme,
in order that others who are aillicted may place
themselves under his treatment and be bencfitted
thereby. I havcbeenh great sufierer for years
with bronchial affection, lungs very weak and
loss of voice. so that it seemed a great effort for
me to speak. and an all gone feeling in my stein-
acli and lungs which was so severe at times as to
prostrate me. I also had the liver complaint very
ad, and weaknessotthe nerves. and general de-
bility of the whole system; I was‘waket‘ul nights
and so weak that I was unable to work. and could
sitii only part 0.1 the time. . I'had tried quitea
num er of physicians from time to time,=with
llttlc or no benefit. and after hearing of Dr. Fiskc
I resolved to consult him. I did so. He describ-
ed my feelings exactly, and, thought he” could9
cure me. I put myse-lt‘_iinder his treatment, and
am happy t_o say that his Magnetism and his Veg-
etable Medlcmcs have worked wonders for me.
for my lungs are now strong. I have regained m
voice. and my nerves are strong. and m w ‘o e
