CITY OF, WEST NORWALK.
Great anxiety has been shown on the part
of some in regard to the movements of one
of our prominent families,whose intentions it.
has not been' easy to find out. It is lucky
that they can keep their own affairs to them-
selves. '
Mrs.Yard and family, of Elizabeth,N. J.,
are residing with Mrs. Emily Benedict,
where they will probably spend the sum-
mer. -
Our “hayward” has given notice that he
shall enforce the law in reg!“d ‘0 all cattle
running at large in the streets. It Will be
well for owners to take warning. , ,
Mr. Taylor, who occupies Miss Sellecks
house, has a pet horse, which he had brought
to him last week, via the steamboat Ameri-
cus. Turning him into a pasture Mr,
Taylor retired to rest. 0n searching
for his horse in the morning, he could not
be found, but by following his tracks, he
wcnded his way to the city, when he learn-
eu from their vigilant police that the hoise
had been found about 4 o’clock a. in. near
the steamboat,.waiting to take a sail home-
ward, to Brooklyn. . ‘
Arrangements have not yet been made
with the new Methodist clergyman at the
Borough, so there was no service at the
chapel last Sabbath.
Our popular grocer, Professor Dugdale,
is the happy owner of a new horse. On
Saturday he drove to the steamboat witha
passenger, them went to the Borough to
replenish his stock, on his way home while
assending Phillips Hill, his new horse was
taken with the blind staggers, and fall-
ing down, he broke the shafts and har-
ness. Mr. Dugdale succeeded in freeing
him from the wagon, but not until 'he had
received severalkicks from the horse.
Messrs. Thaddeus Andrew and R. John-
son, Jr,. are slightly affected with the chills
and fever. ‘
ROWAYTON AND FIVE MILE RIVER.
Wm. Raymond has occupied a house and
lot during the past year, owned by a gentle-
man residing in Brooklyn. Raymond failed
to pay his rent. He at first promised to do
so, but after the expiration of a few months
assumed an air of defiance, and refused to
pay his rent at all. The owner was patient
and kind,. but after he was grossly insult-
ed by Raymond, patience ceased to be a
virtue, and Officer Dayton of South Nor-
walk, was notified to give Raymond notice
to vacate, the oflicer did so notify him, but
he disregarded it, and finally Dayton with
an assistant served upon Raymond a dis—
posses warrant, and undertook to remove
Raymond‘s goods from the premises to the
road. Raymond became angry and grasped
an car and struck Ofiicer Dayton with it
and knocked him down,Dayton and his assis-
tant returned the compliment, and clubbed
Raymonl into subjection, hand-cuffed him
and called on our Constable Mr. W. G.
Crockett for assistance. Crockett held Ray-
mond until Officer Dayton and assistant re-
moved the goods, then Raymond was taken
to South Norwalk and locked up, and dur—
I
WESTPORT.
Mr. Jacob Roth’s house and barn situated
in , "Compo’" district, took fire Saturday
evening, and there being no person on the
premises at ‘the time, were wholly consumed.
Mr. Roth was attending to the wants of a
sick neighbor, while Mrs. Roth and other
members of her family were in the village.
and near _by its sudden appearance and
brilliancy. Bells rang and the fircladdics
prepared to render assistance, but the dis-
tance being so great they did not attempt
to drag the engines. The property was
valued at from $1,000 to $1,500; insured
for about $500. Mr. and Mrs. Roth will
for the present occupy a dwelling on their
premises partially completed and intended for
the future residence of their daughter.
Blossoming trees, rapidly developing fol-
sage and high temperature make it apparent
that summer is not only at hand but has
arrived.
Mr. E. H. Nash has a gang of men em-
ployed tearing down the stone work of his
mill dam preparatory to rebuilding the same
on a firm and lasting basis.
In view of the frequency of what are
manifesuy incendiary fires several well
known property holders have addressed a
note to the members rof Vigilant Engine
Company requesting them to not remove
their engine and accessories from the town
limits on the day of the proposed parade of
the Bethel fire department.
The wardens and vestry of Memorial
church have adopted a series of resolutions,
which are engrossed, thanking Mrs. R. C.
M. Page, for placing the church, at her own
expense, in elegant and complete order, and
for her munificenceltowards the church and
its people during the past twenty years.
A new car, built by the John Stephenson
company, New York, has been placed on
our street railway the past week. With
three fine cars the company. propose to keep
pace with the :advanced demands of the
times.
The new force pump, just placed-in po-
sition by Messrs. Bradley & Wheeler in front
of their premises will be used this summer
to the advantage of all near neighbors in lay-
ing the dust.
The death, Tuesd morning, May 13, in
New Orleans, of I. ubert Lyon, brother of
H. W. Lyon of this place is announced.
Deceased had been an invalid for many
years. and when struck down was prepar-
ing to start for Westport to recover his
health.
The coal beavers who discharged L. Brad-
ley‘s & Cq’s. last cargo of coal, did their
work while’ standing up to their waists in
water. The vessel sprang a leak soon after
reaching the wharf here, and her pumps
were inadequate to keep her lice. Hence the
difficulty.
Mr. G. Jelliife has re—rigged his pleasure
boat “Ida,” and introduced many modern
improvements which tend to make in many
respects a model. Her mooring place hence-
forth will be below the Saugatuck Railroad
bridge.
Onion planting is late this spring, and the
number of acres will be far below the average
of former years.
Rev. J. E. Coley officiated once more for
Rev. Mr. Williams, at Christ Church, Sun-

Q.
The Burning of Norwalk.
The New Haven Journal and“ Courier
is publishing the Diary of President Ezra
Stiles of Yale College, written during the
Revolutionary War, from which we extract
the following in relation to the burning of
Norwalk in 1779 :—
Lord’s day, evening. _ The fleet crossed
over from Huntington and anchored five
miles off the town of Norwalk, and about
sunset landed in about twenty boats. At vi,
Monday morning, 12th July, they marched
for town, Major General Wulcott and Briga-
dier General Parsons with militia and Con—
tinentais, from 900 to 1.000 opposed them.
Our men gave way. The enemy entered
the town about ix or x a. m., and immed-
iately laid the town in ashes, which was
completed by noon of 12th inst. Gen. Par-
sons judged the_ enemy 2,000 at Norwalk.
They burned the meeting house and Epis—
copal church at Norwalk—with this bias-
phemous and heaven daring expression at
fitting fire to the latter “Now God Almighty
come and defend your own house." The
enemy ascribed the burning of this place of
Worship to accidents and as unavoidable
from vicinity to other buildings. But here
at Norwalk the Episcopal minister’s house,
the nearest to the church was indeed set
on fire just at departure, but extinguished
by our people, though the church could not
be saved. They embarked immediately,
having in 7 days from Monday morning,
5th, to Monday, 12, or in one week, visited
three capital towns on the Connecticut sea
coast, burned three meeting houses and two
Episcopal churches, 80 or 90 dwellings in.
Fairfield, 13g in Norwalk, and plundered and
desolated to an amount of damage rendered
in to Gov. Trumbull of about one hundred
thousand pounds sterling. . This is a‘taste‘ of
British clemency. The same week the main
body of the army, under Sir Henry Clinton,
of 6,000 or 8,000 men with' 12 field pieces
and perhaps 500 horses, had advanced to the
heights on the west at Byram River, and
withinla mile of Horse Neck, whence they
sent a detachment and burned Bedford.
Here they burned the meeting house as a
little b‘e‘i‘ore they had burned a meeting
house at . So they have burned seven
places of public worship within a few days.
Arise. O God! Soon after these operations
all retreated and drew in toward King’s
Bridge. '
Sir George Collier in his letter to the min~
istry, July 2711], says “the Land Forces
under Maj. Gen. 'I‘ryon in this expedition
were 2,600 men. The number of killed,
wounded and missing on our (King) side
amount to 26." Assigns our firing from win-
dows as cause of Burning. ' Not a Fact.

And earth a lone and shadowy vale of tears.
So sang the Psalmist in the dolcful Psalm,
That’s said or sung on funeral occasions.
Can art, or power, or wealth, or beauty’s
‘ charm . .
Prolong beyond life’s span the heart’s pul-
sations.
No! yet there have been some who’ve passed
four score,
And kept their strength unchilled by. toil
- or sorrow;
With eye undimmed they scanned the farther
shore,
And ne’er did lose their youth, nor trouble
borrow.
And she is one whose birth-day we have met
‘To celebrate to-night with rights befitting,
Though past four-score, her eye is sparkling
yet) 0 .
And on her check the roses still are sitting.
Well seasoned Wood rcsistsflthe tooth of Time:
Some hearts are young long after heads are
hoary;
Some happy mortals never pass their prime ;
To some, Old Age is but a crown of glory.
Late may our friend to Heaven’s bowcrs re—
turn,
May life to her e’er be a spring perennial,
And may she on the shore of Time sojourn,
Until we come to feast at her Centennial.

Bridgeport’s Size.
A census of Bridgeport recently completed
shows that the population of the whole town
at the present time is 27,346, and that of the
city proper 25,975. Thus the numb: of
people living outside the city limits and with-
in the town is 2,271. The population of the
town in 1860, as shown by the census returns
for that year, was 13,299. In 1870 it was 19,
876.‘ Since the latter period, however, there
has been annexed the Black Rock district,
with an estimated pOpulation of between two
and three thousand. Allowing for the addi—
tion from this source there is till an increase
in the population, during the last nine years,
of over 4,000.

Celelorated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes ' now
made. ,
. lst. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK’,’
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the out above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
prev'ént them from unexpectedly locking you
out. '1 In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling'in our Safes is between. the locks
and bolts and the outside plate' of the door,
inmost cases we can unlock our safes on the
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED Car” consists
of the back plate of the door being 'hung, on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw. .
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR—WHEEL Locks on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for _
simplicity and durabilitycannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes a're IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the .
Safe's being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre .
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safeshave THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire ohr Safes had'
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular;
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that; great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes c’xposod,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for monlhs chal—
lenged ourcompetitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we'belicvcd that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in. use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.
