CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
Among the former residents of;this place,
before it began to assume the magnificent
proportions of a city, was one of Irish dc—
cent, Who wandered about the country and
finally found occupation with “Uncle David”
where he remained for- somc years, and
afterward purchased a small farm which he
cultivated successfully; raising heavy crops
of hay, potatoes, corn, &c., &c., greatly to
the astonishment of his neighbors. It is
said that when questioned as to his success,
he delivered the best lecture in a few sen-
tences regarding farming, that need he.
The expression was “never say you can’t,
but say I'll try.” Waste no time or manure;
keep digging; “attend to your own affairs and
let others do the same, and in a few years
you will make a garden on your land.”
There are many who would even now profit
by heeding “Uncle John’s” advice.
Dora Prince has sold to a South Norwalk
butcher, the ice which he gathered and stored
in Selleck's ice house.
A surprise party was given to Miss Annie
Selicck, on Thursday evening last, the oc-
casion being the anniversary of her birth
day, and her return from a prolonged visit
with friends; on account of a funeral in
the neighborhood, the number in attendance
was not as large as it would have been, but
those present enjoyed themselves to the
fullest extent. Music by Offens band.
Miss Elia Betts, of the Borough, and Mr.
Harry Smith, of Elizabeth, N. J ., have been
visiting with friends in our City.
The advent of new families moving into
a neighborhood, causes many inquiries.
The first generally is “are they rich." The
questions which generally follow,need not be
asked if the first Sabbath is spent in target
practice and ball playing. '

WILTON. ,
The principal event of last week was the
semi-annual session of the Grand Division, S.
of T., which was heldin the hall of Wilton
Division, on Thursday ,las The Division
was called to order shortly . ter ten o’clock,
the G. W. P., G. W. A., G. S., G. T., G. 0.,
and G. 5. being present. The morning ses-
sion was occupied in initiations and listening
to reports. The condition of the order as
shown by the reports was satisfactory and
there was much cause for encouragement. At
twelve the Division adjourned and proceeded
to the store belonging to the Rev. Mr. Mer-
win, which was converted into a dining hall
for this occasion. Here a fine collation had
been.pr(~;-ared by the deft fingers of the
ladies, v; '.,‘ch the visitors appeared to appre'
ciate. A: two o’clOck the Division resumed
the sitting, and the thread of business was
again taken up. There were. about eighty
present'from out of town, and all appeared
to be pleased with Wilton Division In
providing for the entertainment of the Grand
Division, Wilton Division was materially
assisted by the generous contributions of those
who while not of them are still with them in
the cause which they represent. We under—
stand the visitors were much pleased with
the personnel of the Division which they
have good reason to be. '

Thursday morning, at Mianus, about one
o’clock, a fire broke out in an apartment of a
house belonging to David Ferris and occupied
by Mrs. Parks, a widow. The flames Spread
, rapidly until the whole house was burned.
A storehouse adjoining 'it on the north, be-
longing to A. R, Newman, _ was, burned,
also one on the south a few feet away,bclong—
ing to Captain John Lockwood. The flames
then spreadtowards the west,burned a house
belonging to the Rufus Ritch estate,aslaugh-
ter house. barn, and dwelling occupied by
Richard Cox, also other small buildings. —A
. building belonging to Mrs. Hawcs, was, by
the greatest exertion, saved, in which is a
country store, owned by Brush & Finney,
also the post office. Among the buildings
burned is the old Page tavern, famous in
stage coach times for its good meals. The
flames swept nearly or quite everything from
the old mill at the turnpike bridge to Brush’s
store; insurance small. ‘

of burned shavings; pine kindlers and match-
es, indieating that there had been made dur-
ing the previous night an attempt to burn the

providentially, to effect the destruction which
some fiend in human shape had hoped for.

The burial in Weston, Tuesday, of the late
LcRoy Nichols, whose sad death occurred at
the St. Cloud Hotel, New York, Friday, 18th,
brought together many friends and relatives
and drew forth many expressidns of sympa-
thy for deceased's aged grandparents and
Mrs. Ward Nichols. The .carly life of de-
ceased was passed in Weston, and he was
well-known here. Early after the war broke
out he went to New York when the spirit for
stock speculation began to run high, and was
not long in showing the bulls and bears of
Wall street his possession of sharpness and
tact characteristic of the Yankee race, and
that they had met one capzfile of fighting
them on their own ground. Presently he
becamea'member of the Stock Exchange
and his‘transactious in stock were very‘ pro-
fitable,onc netting'hirn the my. of.$;60,000,
In the course of‘fifteen years he made and
lost several fortunes. There are those here
who will cherish pleasant memories of, de-
ceased. ‘ ,
The Congregational church is to be fres—
coed, and the ladies who have already raised

Postmaster William E. Nash is about to
leave the popular establishment of M. W. T.
Hull on Main street and engage in business
for himself. He has hired one of the fine,
stores in Huributt’s block, which will be fit-
ted up for the drug business. So soon as
this work is done he will remove thence, ta-
king the post office with him. In many rc-
spects the public will be accommodated by
the change. The judgment of Mr. A. S.
Hu'rlbutt in putting up a block of fine steres
has its reward in the rush of good tenants to
take early possession, and the owners of vari—
‘ous poor paying rookerics in the heart of the
village may learn profitable lessons from him-
During the past thirty years, visitors to
Goose Island, Caukeens, and other Islands in
the harbor have observed holes in the soil ~
dug by enthusiastic men in search of Cap-
tain Kidd’s money. There are those here
who still entertain the belief that the 91d
pirate buried his money somewhere in this
harbor, the prevalent notion being that Kidd’s
Island which took its name from "him, and
which has been repeatedly dug over, is the
spot. Up to this date not a dollar of his
precious horde has been found. Periodically
the digging fever breaks out, rages awhile
and then dies away. Last week some sensa-
tional lunatic set the story afloat that men
from Bridgeport, afld Westport were 'on
Little Island near Mr. 'McCready’s searching
for the wonderful treasure. It is true the
men, who were men of sense, were on that
Island, but they dug, not for gold, but for
soft shelled clams which abound there.

The entertainment given by the Lyceum
on last Tuesday evening, proved to be a
success. It was attended by about sixty
persons who all seemed to enjoy the per-
formance; The entertainment was opened
by a short address of welcome by the pres-
ident of the society after which the follow-
ing programme was carried out. A reci-
tation by William B. Youngs, entitled
“David’s merit for Absoiom”; a recitation
by Miss Nellie Vaiil, of which we have been
unable to yet learn the name, but it was
finely rendered. Mr. D. C. “’ood read
Will Carleton’s famous poem entitlcd“Bet~
sey sad I are out”; Warden. Jennings read
an article written by Rev. John Hall, 'D.

.could almost imagine that we were listen—
ing to “old Zich” himself; L. B. Vaill
read a piece entitled “The woman who re—
solved never to speak again” and which was
received dith shouts of laughter; Miss
Munsons reading of “Courtship under dif-
ficulties"; would be very held to beat as
would also Mrs. Beetimes reading of “Mr.

T. W. Wood read a poem (comic) entitled
"No Half Way Doins,” which created con-
siderable laughter. Mr. Wood also read ex—
tracts from Walt Whitman’s lecture on Lin-
coln. “A Yankec’s Courtship,” read by
William B, Young—brought down the house,~
asdid also the dialogue from the “Widow
Bedott Papers,” by Mr. 1. Lobdeil and Miss

Son'ru Nonwnmz, April 26, 1879.
EDITORS GAZETTE :——In your issue of the
22d inst.,there appeared an article signed
“One Acquainted with the Facts,” relative to
my expulsion from the Fairfield County
Medical Society. While this article gives
,the impression which the doctor who wrote it
evidently desires, it by no means represents
the truth. Permit me, therefore, through
the columns of your valuable journal, to set
forth the following facts. Soon after I com-
pictcd my studies and received my diploma, I
came 'to this place to practice medicine and
joined such medicai'organizations as existed.
For nearly twenty—five years I'liave been
governed by the by-laws.rules and regulations
of such societies as rigidly as any member of
the fraternity. We all know that time and
advancement forces old by-laws to become,
obsolete, and we all, get lax in obeying
laws not enforced. This is true in schools,
and churches and States. If the pastor of a
church takes wines and goes to. the theatre
his people will. If the mayor trots on the
drawbridge the people will. Not that two
wrongs make a. right, but that the example
of our leaders is a. precedent we are prone to
follow if it pleases us, and so when Dr. E. P.
Bennett,of Danbury, President of the Society
at that time, repeatedly consulted with Dr.
Susan Penfield, who graduated at the some
college with my Wife, and when Our lament-
ed Dr. Lynes never refused Dr. Mosman
counsel, it would not be strange if I have
accorded the same fav’or to my wife, who is
a. regular licensed Homoepatliic Physician”
This, however, I have studiously avoided
doing except in cases of surgery when such
assistance is allowed to be admissable. Nor
has there yet been one single proof of such
counsel. Even Dr. E. P. Bennett, when he
advised me to resign, and I asked him why he
so'advised me,replicd,“Because your wife is a
Homeopathic physician and they will pick at
you until they get you out.” The ridicule
which attended the siciety’s action last year
led thcmto attempt to incorporate in their
charges this year something more than the
fact of my talking with my wife in my own
house, as last year’s charges mainly were,and
so they have succeeded—but how? 'A cer-
tain poor woman whom I have treated accept-
ably and decorously twenty-three years,
through becoming a town pauper fell into Dr.
Burke's hands. Expressing herself very
much dissatisfied with his treatment she
applied for my aid, and Selectman Smith
sent me to her. Feeling piqued at his dis-
charge Dr. Burke proceeded to draw 'up an
affidavit which, even if Mr. and Mrs. Smith
could have read they could not understand,
and these two people essayed to ‘sign them,
one with his x mark and one her name—that
was all the charge for “indeceiicies and im-
proprieties.”
The charge for interference was sustained
by a German boy named Shultz. The facts
were, the boy stood round complaining of
his hand, and saying that he had been to Dr.
Barbour's four times to have it dressed but
could not find him. I said in mere pity,
_"step into my office and I will fix you up.”
He did so, and after examining his hand,
which was in a bad .condition, I said ,to him,‘
“If you will go to Dr. Barbour’s office once
more, and he is not in, I will dress your
hand, but I would rather not touch it in its
present condition after you have neglected it
so long.” I presume he found Dr. B. as I
never saw him again, and he signed the
affidavit prepared for him,very likely without
reading it or knowing its import—so much
for “interference.”
There were two charges for consulting with
Homeopaths. Both these witnesses, Mrs.
Brundage and Mrs. Barraclaugli, are women
whom, aftertreating three years as charity
patients,and feeling that they were unworthy
our time, both my wife and I refused to
attend further. This probably so angered
them that they were glad to sign the lies
prepared. One of them, after Dr. Mosman
and Dr. Emily had examined, I was called in
and assisted Dr. Mosman in lifting to a sofa,
and asked the servant to bring her a. cup of
tea. To the other I applied chloroform while
these same physicians removed a tumor—both
in my own house. Dr. Emily paid Dr.
Mosman’s bill in 'both cases, and. after that
refused further attendance as her income
would only allow of a. limited number of
such patients.
Now the Allmand case: 'our informant
says the reverend" gentlemen, Messrs. Bissell
and Hamilton, signed a paper saying I. did
“wantonly, unreasonably and unjustly coerce
and prevail upon Mrs. Allmand to consent to
a post mortem examination of the body of
her husband." Not so, my friend. The Rev.
Mr. Hamilton said in my house, that “such
language was not warranted and needed
much modifying.” He thought I “unreason-
ably urged” such proceeding and added that
“he unwillingly signed a. paper to that effect,
and that he told. Messrs. Blake and Burke
that he did so under protest.” He said he
“was no_judge of the necessities of the case.”
I told Mrs. Allmand it was her safest way to
proceed in order to avert any trouble with
insurance companies. I then went about my
business. Several hours after Mrs. Allmand
sent for me to go and see her. I obeyed her
summons. In the meantime Drs. Hill and
Burke had offered to make the examination
for $15. Mrs. Allmand said to me, “I have
been advised to have this examination made
and have been advised not to,now I want to do
.as you say.” I replied, “Nothing of the kind.
I am not anxious to do it; you must decide
for yourself. ” This Mrs. Allmand fully re-
members and cannot see where the “wanton
coersion" is found. I will here say that I
supplied one or two copies of the results of'
said examination to those who obtained her
insurance, whether it was necessary or not.
Gen. Taylor called for the same. Will
alsoLadd that while Deacon Wilson asked me
to give this $15170 this widow, he admitted
if she owed him $15 he should want it. My
price was governed by Drs. Hill and Burke,
and thelatter piqued again at not being chosen
to perform such work, prefer-Led this charge.
The above is simply a. true' statement of the
facts. I am still a member'of the County
Society pending the action of the State Socie-
ty, and whatever that is, it will not lessen
my esteem for some of my professional
Methren who are driven by local prejudice to
act as they would not otherwise desire to.

A Proposed Law.
' Our thanks are due Secretary of State
David Torrance, for' a copy of the Public
Aets passed by the last Legislature. It proves
to be ap interesting work containing much
information on a great variety of subjects.
While much of it is of necessity rather dry
reading, there are some articles of a very
amusing nature. One of these is entitled a
“Proposed Law” (House Bill No. 238), cm-
bodying an entirely new and ingenious plan
for conducting elections, and designed to
prevent frauds and secure a fair and honest
expression of the popular will; Under its
provisions it will be almost impossible to vote
by proxy, and the dangerous “gravel train"
nuisance will be abated. No man can “fix”
more than one ballot, and no ballots lost by
being double. No man can have a ballot
forced upon him by his employer or by any.
other person, and all ticket peddlers are pos-
itively prohibited under heavy fine. No bal-
lot can be marked, and no man can tell how
any other man votes. Every voter must
select his own ballot, and fix it to suit him—
self, and if he cannot read and write he can
set his wits as work to select the ticket he
chIrcs. No drunken man can have his ticket
fixed at any saloon, and no colored voter can
run the gauntlet with the right ballot care—
fully stowed away in his vest pocket. In
short, no man can be deceived unless be de—
ceives himself. There is nothing funny
about all this, unless it is the simple idea that
any plan capable of doing so much good can
be adopted and made to work. It is an inno-
vation. Barnum says people like to be
humbugged; so do voters like to be cheated
or enjoy the privilege of cheating their neigh-
bors. A strictly honest ballot,—cvery man
voting strictly in accordance with the dictates
of his own conscience and the requirements
of the frceniau’s oath, is a thing to be dream-
ed about, never to be seriously thought of as
a' possible accomplishment. Conduct elec—
tions honestly and fairly tliroughout,and'they
would be tame aIIuirs in the eyes of multi--
tudcs of voters.
Well, how is this model plan to work, how
Briefly, as follows: The selectmen will pro-
vide one or more. rooms adjoining the place
At the door Of this room, a registrar, will be
stationed with a certified copy of the registry
list ; at the door, also, will be a doorkeeper.
When a man applies to exercise his right of
suffrage, he will go to this registrar who will
check his name and permit high to enter the
room ; as he passes in the doorkeepcr will
hand him one envelope stamped with the
seal of the State and one printed ballot of
each kind in use at the election. The voter
must then entcr‘he room, select a ballot,
change it in any manner he pleases, put it in
the envelope which he must seal, then pass
into the main room and put the envelope on
the ballot box in the usual way, another reg—
istrar in charge of the polls checking his
name and depositing the envelope in the box.
No provision seems to have been made for
counting the vote and declaring the result,
but probably it is intended to fall back upon
the present law for all things not provided
for in this. The envelopes are to‘be furnish-
ed by the State, and‘thcrc are severe penal—
tiesfor counterfeiting them, for having more
than one in possession at any one time, for
any official giving out more than one to any
voter, marking any envelope or ballot, &c.
Only one voter can enter the private rOom at
a time and he must not remain longer than
two minutes.
This proposed act is cumbersome, but
would work exceedingly well in small d_is-_
tricts, althoughvotcrs would growl fearfully
at the length and brilliaucy of the tape. In
the first voting district of Norwalk, in an
exciting election, when nearly 1,600 votes
are polled, it would be necessary to have
at least five of those private rooms, with as
many extra registrars and dookeepcrs, in
order to poll the entire vote in one day.
Then larger ballot boxes would be needed,
and the counters would have the extreme
pleasure of unsealing'all the envelopes adding
materially to the time consumed. At Town
elections, unless it should do away with
“splits," thc count’ would occupy all night
and all thé next day.
The plan is as yet only a proposed law, and
our wise legislators Vwill have a year to think
it over and another opportuni'y to weed out
imperfections, enlarge or amend as they may
think best.

Wilton society used to have a citizen
known as Ed. Brown. ' Now it has his Wives
to comfort them. Brown served in the Union
army, and after the close of the war married
a Florida belie and brought her to Wilton,
his native town. Subsequently they returned
to Florida, where he deserted his wife. leav-
ing her destitute with two children. Brown
returned to. Wilton, married again, and settled
in Bridgeport. He then deserted wife No. 2
leaving her destitute with two children. and
decamping, it was sd'id, with another woman.
Wife No. l, in Florida. married again, and
returned to Wilton. Husband No. 2 died,
and she was taken to Wilton's poorhousc.
Brown’s wife, No. 2, in Bridgeport, was also
brought to the same‘plac'c, and the two wives
and four children were domiciled together.
Subsequently wife No. 2 was taken from the
poorhousc by friends. Wife No. 1 is about
to leave in company of a third husband.—

The new Constitutional Convention is now
in session in New Orleans. It-i objects are
apparently the wiping out of all republican
legislation and the rcpudiatiOn of the State
debt.
It is reported General Hawley, when his
attention was called to the fact that his
name had been spoken of in connection with
the republican candidacy for vice-president,
said that he would rather be in the senate
six years as a representative of the state of
Connecticut than to pass four years in the
position of- a man waiting for the first hus-
band to die—Boston Journal.
The most remarkable feature of the finan—
cial news of 'the past week is the apparent
in order to buy United. States four per cent.
bonds. The report that such sales have been
made to a considerable amount in the Lon-
don market is supported by the striking
change in the prices of the two classes of
Securities. On Tuesday last consols sold at
99 7—16, and United States fours at 1035-;
on Saturday conSOls .had‘declined to 98%,
and United States fours had_ risen to 104:}.
In translating Britishquotations of United
States securities, it should,be remembered
that 102% in London is equivalent to par 11)
New Yo'rk with exchange at $4.88, because
in settlements on the London sterling is
reckoned as equivalent ‘to five dollars.

A Danbury boy’s composition on the fly
reads thus: “A fly is a very useful animal.
He wakes us up in the morning when we
want to go somewhere, gets in the butter
dish and milk cup and don’t go back on his
molasses. He tickles the ,old laday’s nose
when she snoozes in the afternoon. The
bakers calch large numbers in traps and use
them for currants. People say it is wick- .
