WILTON.
The Reading Circle which has been men-
tioned beforeiu these columns still continues
to exist, and the members—thereof confine
. themselves to high-toned literature; the
Ltdger and New York Weekly being in the
index ewpurgatorious. ‘
Our local philosopher, says “if woman
kind were forbidden to exhibit the parlor
furniture on the front piazza, house cleaning
would lose half its charms. ” _ '.
Alderman Renoud, of Cannon’s, is said
to have added to his already mulifariOus
duties by becoming one of the sub-editors of a
local paper,
The writer had occasion recently to pass
through Weston, and was much pleased with
thebondition of the highways of. that town.
Without exaggeration the roads of W'eston-
were twenty-five per cent. better than the
roads of Wilton. And we believe that this
result is attained under that tyrannical con—
tract system. Of course, the contract sys-
tem has its manifest disadvantages; for .
where it is in vogue the prudent agricultur—
alist cannot hire a boy for seventy-five cents
per day, and then charge the town $1 50,
nor can he bring on the road a cracked plow-
share and when it becomes broken charge
the town the 'price of a new one, nor can
he lean on his hoc and talk politics with an
equally lazy neighbor, nor fight dogs, nor
do any of those pleasant things which change
roadmaking from a laborious occupation to
a diversion. It seems singular that a
town having so many intelligent citizens as
Wilton has, should persist in clinging to a
system, which has most' signally failed in
securing good roads. It may be urged that
farmers do not always have the ready
money wherewith to meet their taxes, but
then they think nothing of paying their
blacksmith and wheelwright for repairs
Which are mnCh increased by our poor roads.
A town is also rendered more attractive to
those who may wish to settle within its
limits by‘having good roads. There are
however, some in every town who cannot
see much farther than their nose, who are
t‘penny wise and pound foolish” all their
lives and then wonder why they don‘t get
rich. And where such ideas do prevail it is
impossible to expect a town to be progres-
sive but rather retrbgressive.

Dr. A. E. Emery has fully decided to'
remOve to New Hampshire, and expects to
locate in Fishville, about July 1st. Dr.
Emery has resided in Wilton about ten years,
during which time he has made a large cir-
cle of acquaintances who will much regret
the departure of a genial friend, a skillful
physician, and public spirited citizen. The
Doctor has also been prominent in political
circles having been for a number of years
the generalissimojof the Republican forces in
Wilton.
There lean effort being made by some who
wish to juggle with the vote Of the work—
ing men, to excite sympathy for some who
might possibly be injured by the rigid en-
forcement, of the tramp law. The resi!
dents of Wilton have been freed from the
visits of the tramps and they feel much more
secure than formerly when almost every
house was at the mercy of those wandering
vagabonds 'which wily politicians endeaver -
to ideritify with the industrious labor of the
community. :

Dram—In this place Monday, May ' 19,
Richards. Penhoyer, aged nearly 63 years.
Death, in his case did not come unexpect—
edly. A sufferer during many years, he had
hoped for relief by its arrival. To him, it
came not as the monster whose approach
mortals ordinarily contemplate with fear,
but as a friend through whose agency he was
to be transferred from a life of protracted
misery, to one of never ending peace. His
disease was an ulcer partaking of the nature
of a cancer, and appeared on the right
cheek twenty-five years ago. At first it
caused little inconvenience, but as it cn—
larged it grew more painful. Surgiéal op—
erations were submitted to in the hope bf
removing the ulcer, but their only effect was
to delay its progress and stayfor a time the
disease fwhich finally proved fatal. Mr. Pen-
"noyerwas born in Darien in 1817, where
his earlier years were passed. After resid-
ing three years in Westport, where he mar-
ried in 1839, two years in Norwalk and two
years in Tarrytown, N. Y., he removed to
Brooklyn where he remained thirty‘two
years. Disease compelled him to relinquish
business there in 1875 and in May 1878 he
came again to this place with no hope of
mending a shattered constitution, but sim~
ply to secure the quiet which, in his closing
hours, this locality was likely to secure.
The funeral took place Thursday, from
Christ church, Rev.‘ Dr. Hall of Trinity
Church Brooklyn, officiating, assisted by the
rector, Rev. Mr. Willsams and the Revs.
Lewis and Coley. The plain service of the
church was said, the choir singing, “Rock
of ages.” At its conclusion Dr. Hall, choos-
ing no text, and speaking cxtemporaneously
said, in substance, “It is easier [to die than
live; the greatest sorrow befalling man is
that caused by the loss of friends." He
thanked. God that his friend had departed
and that he had courage and strength to
face Death, and 'meet it without flinching.
'That courage showed what a firm belief in
Divine revelations, and trust in the promises
of a Redeemer would enable‘a man to en—
dure. Alluding to the nature of deceased’s
affliction the speaker said: “What was the
agony of martyrs burning at the stake—an
hours’ duration probably; and that of the
christians of old, who were thrown to wild
beasts and devoured, suffering, it might to
for a period of twenty minutes; but here'
was a man who for years had endured ten-
fold more than they, never complaining,
never wavering in his faith.” The doctor
drew largely upon nature now in her hap-
piest mood to show that, to man death was‘
a necessity,-—that there could.be no real
life without decay, and lastly, that of things
in social as well as natural life should re—
main fixed and change be impossible, this
world would be unfit to live in. His remarks
tended to dispel thos‘e sad thoughts which
at funerals, as a rule come unbidden to us
all, and to surround the soul’s departure
and the laying away of. its earthly tenement
with the light which hope and trust in.

The fire department in Louisville, last
Thursday, was called out for a curious pur-
pose—no other than to pump water out of
instead of into houses. They had what
people call a “cloud burst.” In one small
part of the city an absolute flood came down.
The water was three feet deep in the street;
horse cars were nearly submerged; children
had to be picked up to be saved from a
sweeping away ; and, of course, cellars filled
up in freshct fashion. In the rest of the
city it did not rain, though it was cloudy
and threatening. The loss in the washed
district is heavy, but the steam fire engines
did considerable good in getting the water
early out of the houses.

to say that the entertainment was a decided

A Borough meeting was called last Thurs-

certain ones who oppose every measure in

A passenger on the New York Central rall-
road has just secured a verdict from theNew
York court of appeals which will be of inter-
est to travelers. He took passage at Syracuse,
intending to go . to Auburn. Finding no
vacant seats in the regular passengers ears
and many passengers standing, he took a
seat in a Wagner drawing—room car. When
called on for extra pay he refused, but an-
nounced his willingness to go into another
car when he could be given a seat. The por-
brought suit to recover for the assault. The
case, which has now been ‘carried through
the highest court, has resulted in a verdict
for the passenger. This means that a. pas-
senger is entitled to a seat, and if he cannot
find one in the regular cars, he may safely
take one elsewhere.

A Jump from Niagara Bridge.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., May 21.—-At 3
o'clock this afternoon Steve Pierre, of Drum-
mondville, Ont., walked on one of the brace
wires from Canada side to the centre of the
new. suspension bridge and back again,
performing as a gymnast on the wire. At
4 o’clock, Mr. H. P Peers, of .Teterville,
Ont.-, jumped from the centre of the bridge
into Niagara River, 190 feet below. He had
a wire attached to a cylinder and fastened
to a sort of harness under his arms and over
his shoulders, which kept him upright. The
descent was made in four seconds. Men in a
boat picked him up. He came up all right.
About one thousand people witnessed the feat.
He will probably jump again in July.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the impel-flint advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. ,
let. our- “PATENT INSIDE BOLT .Womr"
consists in placing the bolts and locks onlthe
.inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are‘at ‘all times accessible,'.and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prpvent them from unexpectedlyloeking you
out. 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,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by. a. thumb-screw,thch
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-“Inner. LOCKS on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and. for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are 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 securbd 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 Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and. are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our 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' exposed, those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors 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 conclusivelv
proved the superiority of our Safes to resign
intense heat, we believed that we could im- ‘
prove them, and we have, therefore, Since
that time, in reused the thickness of the walls,
added to the umber of flanges, and strength-
ened thorn 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
