The concert of the Sabbath school given at the school house last Sunday evening, was another of those pleasing entertainments which Superintendent Hubbell knows so well how to produce. The subject of the evening was Temperance, and the audience were treated to several fine recitations, readings and dialogues, but the beautiful part of the programme was “We’ll‘ crown them with roses,” by Miss Sadie West, the infant class and the choir. Those who do not attend these concerts miss a treat. We regret to record the serious illness of Mr. Samuel J. Kemp, one of our old and respected citizens.

One week ago last Sunday eveningEdWard FitzGerald and John O‘Toole of Bridgeport, called at the residence of L. B. Vail, whobis one of the Grand Jurors of the town of Strat- ford, and made a complaint against Freder- ick Walker of this place for aviolation of the Sunday liquor law. Inquiry was made con- cerning the matter and the following facts were developed. FitzGerald and O’Toole were drunk,and came to Mr. Walker's saloon Mr. Walker was away from home and Mrs. Walker refused them admittance. The ruf- fians then began to make a disturbance, and seeing Henry Walker (who is a cripple) in the yard, assaulted him, and were having things their own way till Mr. E. Shriver in— interfered and drove the valiant coupleZaway. Finding that they could not gain admittance to the saloon'they made the complaint men- tioned. FitzGerald called on Mr. Vaile the morning after making the complaint and withdrew his charge. Both men ought to have been arrested and made to suffer for their dis . .i-derly conduct. Mrs. A an Shannon was arrested last week on complaint of Mrs. Bassett who charged he; with the theft of some articles of wearing ap- parel. A search of Mrs. Shannon's premises failed to bring to light any of the missing at: ticles. She was released under $50.00 bonds furnished by Philip Wahlegemuth, and at the trial thejcasc was nollz‘ed on condition that she would leave town. Mrs. Shannon was sent to jail some time ago from Bridgeport for ninety days, and after serving out a few weeks of her time was released on petition of her husband, and since then she has disgust- ed the whole neighborhood by her licentious and drunken actions. We might write more concerning her but have no desire to go into filthy details. ' ; Last Tuesday, a horse belonging to Mr. E. Way, of this place, was struck by the express due here at 2:30 and slightlyinjured. Mrs. Murphy, residing in the eastern por- tion of the Borough, made a complaint to the authorities last Saturday charging certain parties with stabbing her horse. An exam- ' ination of the horse showed an ugly wound in the breast made by some sharp instrument but the parties charged with the offence deny all knowledge of the affair. No punishment would be severe enough for a miscreant guilty of such an offence. Early last Sunday morning Thomas Kearns was arrested on complaint of his daughter who charged him with being drunk and dis— orderly. He was released on bonds furnish— ed by his son-in-law, Mr. Logan, of Bridge- port. His trial took place yesterday (Monday) and we have been unable as yet to learn the result. We have been pretty reliably inform- ed that Mr. Kearns is a 'much abused man, and that for the last two years he has been made .to sleep in the cellar, and is not allowf ed to eat at the same table with his people but must eat the refuse of every one else and have it thrown to him like a dog. The Bridgeport Standard is complpining of the number of unmuzzled and unregistered dogs in that city and the frequency with which people are bitten by them, and won- ders why the selectmen do not enforce the dog law. We believe the selectmen are afraid to enforce the law, for fear it will offend the rank and file of their party, and the more shame on them for such a course. One has only to pass through some of the streets of that city to see the number of unregistered curs roaming them. In conversation with a friend the other day who voted the greenback ticket at the last election, he said that when he looked back, he wondered how he could be such a fool. “Straws show which way the wind blows.” W.

The “final shoot for the Wheeler cup, took place Wednesday on Mr. James K. Polk’s grounds near Mr. Noah W. Bradley’s. There were seven contestants, each shooting at 50 glass balls. Following is the result: C. J. Ketchum, 36 S. B. Wheeler, 41 Morris Ketchum, Jr. 39 Dr. F. Powers, 36 _ Jas. K. Polk, 43 M. B. W. Wheeler, 34 46 Francis Burritt, . . James Bates who shot into a promiscuous crowd on the morning of July 4th, wounding several persons, was brought before Justice Finch, Wednesday,for trial. From the testi- mony of witnesses it appeared that there was a larger number of young men near the scene than had at first been supposed, showing that the desire to begin early in the day to celebrate is not, as many believe dying out. Indeed some of the best families in town were represented,but the most enthusiastic dnembers of the crowd got so many small shot into them which required so much time to pick them out that little or nothing else was done that night after the shooting. According to the testimony of Joseph Spicer, from whom Dr. Bouton dug out two dozen shot, there was no i ntion of disturbing Bates; that no stones were fired at his house, or pistols discharged, but that the boys assembled at that particular place because they tookanotion so to do. Bates claims that he was in his house between the hours of 12 and 2 o’clock. Persons outside whom he did not know were making loud noises. They went into Mrs. O’Connel’s liquor saloon. After coming out they booted and he heard one of them say “Let’s give Bates he .” Stones were thrown at the house, one of which passed through the slats of the window blind, and came near hitting Mrs. Bates in the head. Pistols were also fired, shot from which struck the house. The whole proceeding, in short, so disturbed and exasperated Bates that he thrust the muzzle of his gun through the blinds and fired. Mrs. Bates corroborated the statement of her husband. Much interest was manifested in the trial. Decision was reserved. The reduction of fare from 6 to 5 cents by the management of the Norwalk Horse Railway, thereby securing a decidedincrease of trowel on that road, is an example which our splendidly conducted and paying road may well imitate. The public has for some time said that 10 cents is to much for a ride between Westport and the depot, especially when one rides often. The policy of charg— ing 5' cents from Deumead’s to the depot, and '5 cents from Rev. Father Keatings to the village, and ten cents absolutely, 'no appeal or plea granted if a person steps on the car five inches outside of the prescribed line, is in no way tending to dispel the notion that all the barbarians have ceased to exist. If the depot road was some great thoroughfare like the Third Avenue of New York where people are continually getting on and of! the cars, this style of strict dealing might have a warrant. An adherence to the close shaving policy to maintain 10 cents fare when it should be but 5, should be encouraged awhile if for no other reason than that of opening the eyes of the travel- ing public to their rights.

How Danbury puts out her Lights Danbury has successfully working an ar- rangement by which the street lights are ex- tinguished simultaneously at the gas house. Each lamp post has a patent extinguisher which is so weighted that when the pressure in the pipes is reduced to a given point, which is done by turning a valve at the gas works, the light will be extinguished. In the extinguisher are two chambers, the bases of which are filled with mercury, the gas passing through space over the mercury; fitting into these chambers are two mounted cups which have a stem to receive weights to make them descend into the mercury at any pressure that may be deemed best, and which when down rests on the sides of the chambers, forming a complete seal. The smaller 'of these two chambers, receives the gas first,and from that it passes to the larger, which gives it lifting surface to keep the ex— tin linguish‘ éd the gas has access only to the roof of :the smaller cup, and cannot, when the ressure has been restored, raise up the cup. il‘lie reduction of lpressure required to ex- tinguish,’the’ supp y of gas in the burners which do not have 'the attachment, and the effect, small as it is, is only momentary. .e—o—-—— A lock of man’s hair in a ladyjs fingers in lover s hair in a lady's fingers after marriage is as sure- ly '- indicative of a yelling'chap, as ayell of ony when the owner says: “Jerusalem, Mariam let go!

As we were last week passing the law office of Attorney Perry we observed the efiulgent face of Justice Stuart with a mo comical expression of judicial dignity commingled with suppressed laughter, giving us a grand hailing sign of distress. We rushed up stairs to find a “case" going on with all the native vehemence of a Donnybrook Fair ruc- tion. It was the State or. Mrs. Barney Mc Glyne, of Cobble Hill. The complainant Mrs. Cahil and the complaint issued by Grand Juror Chauncey Platt, and the charge assault and battery and breach of the peace, at Cobble Hill aforesaid, on the last 4th of July. The two women were duly"‘sworn according to law” and Mrs. M’Glyne, being the accused party, was directed by the Judge to proceed with hernarrative of the events that ushered in the glorious Fourth at Cobble Hill so in— auspiciouslv. But poor Mrs. M’C. had scarce started on the exciting narrative before she was interrupted by the even more exaspera- ted and injured Mrs Cahil, the colloquy run- ning thusly : “New, Mrs. McGlyne, liould yer whist. Yees know it’s a lie yees telling to Judge Stuart. J udgc, ’pon me soul, that woman would lie to St. Peter, so she would. She kapes our quiet place at Cobble Hill at war all the time, so she does. Och, hone, bad ’cess to her and the ship that ever brought the likes 0’ her to Ameriky.” "Now, Mrs, Cahil,” retortcd the unabashed Mrs. McGlyne, “It’s yerself that would tell Judge Stuart 9. lie.” Her voice rising to the highest pitch 'andboth women brandishing their parasolsunder eachotlier's noses in the most belligerant fashion. “Judge Stuart,” continued Mrs. M’G., scarlet in the face and catching forbreath, “it’s God's own truth I’m tellin’ ye, and this is the way the cilebra- tin commenc That ould son of ‘a gun there (pointin to the venerable and reputable Mr. Cahil), got onto my side of me perma— nency and commenced to pluck up the grass to give his hens in the pen forninst the gar- den, and I tould him he should be stealing his» own grass and not mine, and he paid no attention and I jist tould him a piece of my mind,aud took the spears away from the ould blaekguard, and that’s just all there was to it Mr. Justice Stuart.” ' ' This burst was uttered without a single respiration, and the poor little woman was now-black in the face, when the hitherto quiet Mr. Cahil came to his feet, as follows : . “Judge Stuart, we live in connixion wid that vile woman. She kapes the whole neighborhood in an uproar all the time, wid her fightin’ and goin’ on. I tuk jist four, only four, yer honor, spears of grass, and that off me own side of the line, to give me bins, when she came tearin’ afther me like a wild basic and swore she would tear me heart out and cook me liver if I didn't drop the four spears offigrass, Judge Stuart, so she did, and sure I thought she would me face and put her dirthy fist under me nose, and”—Here Mrs. Cahil could hold in no longer and broke in: “It’s the truth my old man‘s telliu’ ye, Judge Stuart, for I saw it all, and I wint to save the poor man from her fury, for she’s a terrible woman, so she is, and she called me ould man a thafe and all the vile names in the Decaloge,—a dacint and honest a mamas ever. came from the ould counthry. 0h, bad luck to the day that we iver left Ireland to meet this woman, Judge, and it's shameful names she called me, and she scramed it all over Cobble Hill, that me little grandchild, as nice and proper a child as was ever born, Judge. She scramed it all about that me child niver had any father, the nasty haste, so she did, Judge Stuart, whin she knew better herself, and she got the neighbors all out—doors, standin’ round on their front stoops,hangin’ on their fences and pokin’ their heads out of their windows a lookin’ at the ruction goin’ on in Our yard, and 'shoutin’ back to us, ‘Go in Mrs. Barney McGlyne, and give it to her Mrs. Cahil, and don’t yees let her up,’ and all 'sich talk as that to the both of us, and then she got on our side of the yard and tore up all the grass, jist like this.” , Judge Stuart had up to this point heard and swelled like the sea with his efforts to maintain his own official gravity and keep order in the court, but when the poor old lady jumped down on hands and knees on the floor and commenced clutching and hop— ping all over its entire surface on the double- quick, like a grasshopper on a hot plate, the Judge could no longer hold in and joined with the audience in unavoidable and un- controllable laughter. At last order was measurably restored because of the utter ex- haustion of the belligerants, and Mrs. Cahil was called up to state her side of the case. All she had uttered hitherto was interjected and in violation of the repeated and threat- ening remonstrances of the Judge, but there was no suppressing the injured and indignant woman. When called from her leaping exploit to the stand, she reeled half~fainting to a chair and in utter despair, feebly whistled, “Oh, God bless yees, Judge Stuart, I’m so exhausted wid fatigue that I can’t spake a word, God bless yees, but I’m willin’ to be slot to Bridgeport, J udge, if ye’ll only punish that vile crayture [Mrs M’G.] as well, so I am, Judge Stuart, and I canlt spake an- other word; God bless yees, Judge Stuart.” This last was really too pathetic even for the Court, and we saw a tear glisten in the eye of the Judge already red with his des— perate efforts to refrain from any exhibition of levity in the trial of the case, and so in a tone of deep solemnity he made both belliger- ants charged in the indictment stand up and promise to go home and not to look or speak to each other for a month upon the solemnities of their oath and honor as ladies of the first society of Cobble Hill, and on swearing to this he dismissed the case with his reprimand and blessing. The Corn Culture of the Human Foot. Dio Lewis was asked by a lady suffering from corns how she could cure them and walk without suffering. He looked at her shoes, and found that while the soles were very nar- row the shoe itself was very»large,and in walk ing rocked first on one side and then on the other. He accompanied her to a shoemaker, and the result of the visit be thus describes :‘ Her shoe was removed, and Mr. Shoemaker marked around her feet, while she was standing upon it. We measured the mark and found that it was exactly four inches. That was the width of her foot when she step- ped on it without a shoe. Then we measured the sole of the shoe she had been wearing and found it two and ahalf inches. Here was the secret of the whole trouble. A pair of shoes were made for her at once with soles four inches broad. Now she can walk for hours without pain in her feet. There are millions of poor sufferers in the country who are limping and hobbllng through the world, who might be perfectly relieved and cured by the same means. I ————-.-d The True Wife. Oftentiines I have seen a tall ship glide by against the tide as if drawn by some invisible tow line, with a hundred strong arms pulling it. Her sails unfilled, her streamers were drooping,she had neither side wheel nor stern wheel; still she moved on stately, in serene triumph, as with her own life. But I knew that on the other side of the ship, hidden beneath the great bulk that swam so majes- tically, there was a little toilsome steam-tug with a heart of fire and arms of iron that was tugging it bravely on; and knew that if the little steam—tug untwined her arms and left the ship, it would wallow and roll about and drift hither and thither. and go off with the refiuent tidc,no man knows whither. And so I have known more than one genius, high—decked, full-freighted, wide-sailed,gay. pcnnoned, that but for the bare, toiling arms and brave, warm-beating heart of the faith- ful little wife that nestled close to him so that no wind or wave could part them,would have gone down with the steam, and been , heard of no more.—_0llmf Wendell Helm. sthrike me,but she up and spit a great gob in .

' , The exercises of Thursday last were both satisfactory and entertaining to the parents, and also did much credit to teacher and scholar. Time and space will not permit a minute description of all the exercises, although they are worthy of both. One could not fail to observe the clock— like movement in all the proceedings; the assurance and confidence the scholars had in their teacher, and the reliance the teachers reposed in each scholar. Surely we can breathe forth the same sentiment not long since uttered by a citizen of our town that “It was a comfort to know of one school to which there could be no exception taken in respect to discipline and moral development.” The manner of conducting recitations is unique in the length and breadth of the word. This uniqueness manifests itself in the proficiency of the scholars. The clear cuteness with which everything was recited shows, not a parrot-like knowledge of the subject, but a clear comprehensive one, which in after, years will develop into true manly thinking. We were highly gratified with the clear- ness of the solution of the examples in Mental Arithmetic, which is really the foundation of a solid education; with the readiness with which the; definitions in Algebra were answered, with the practical knowledge by the members of the class in Book-keeping, with the smoothness and ease of expression with which the little boys told their history stories, and with the logical demonstration of different problems: in Geometry. If we were to express all our emotions prompt us, we would say, “we sat and won- dered.” But we would be unjust if we should fail to notice the literary entertainment, which was the spice of the occasion. The character of the selections was such as to elevate and inspire nobleness of feeling, to develop the oratorical powers, to enliven action, to amuse the jovial forces of our nature, to arouse the feelings of manhood and to show the forgiving side of humanity. The development of oratorieai powers and the cultivation of the expression of thought, are elements, which, we are sorry to say, are sadly neglected in many schools, although they are almost indispensable essentials in the composition of an educated man. Without any further comment upon the exercises of the day we will close our remarks by saying, we were pleased, we were satisfied, and we give our vote and voice to the sentiment so curtly and elegantly ex- pressed by a worthy one in the following words, that “the universal conviction appears to be, not only that ignorance is the mother of vice, but that the pi-lmer and multiplication table are necessarily the parents of virtue.” RASLYN. Chinese Rice Paper. The thick, soft, translucent material called Chinese rice paper, is commonly supposed to be made of rice, or some sort of fibre obtain- ' ed from the rice plant. A recent writer says that it is not so made, but is the pith of a Fatsia papyrijfera, sliced thin. The tree grows about twenty feet high, and its pith is an extensive article of commerce in China, for it is used in the manufacture of many ar- ticles, especially toys and artficial flowers. The cylinders of pith exposed on removing the bark and woody fiber are rarely an inch and a half in diameter, and as the substance is delicate and tender, rare skill and practice are required to cut the whole stick from the circumference to center into one continuous sheet. A long, thin, very sharp knife is used for this operation. can be obtained in this way are about fifteen inches longby ten wide. ' sheets are out they are spread out, all little holes carefully mended, and then they are pressed under weights until dry. The refuse scraps, etc., go to make pillows; the ordi— nary sheets are dyed brilliantly and sold to the flower makers, while the largest sheets are destined for the foreign market after being carefully painted by skilful native ar- tists. There is no substance yet discovered that so well represents the delicate texture of flowers as this paper of pith, and it is export- ed to some extent by artificial flower manu— facturers. The tree could no doubt be grown here, as our climate is much like that of China. . , Prohibition Does Prohibit. Rev. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin, D. D., late Presi- dent of Robert College, Constantinople, Turkey, but now Professor in the Theologi- cal Seminary at Bangor, Maine, gives undoubt- ed evidence as to the glorious results of Pro- hibition in that State. “Maine being my native State, and not having resided in it for forty'years,my return to it led me to examine with great interest the Maine law and its workings. I have been through the State in various directions, from Kittery to Calais; have attended the public meetings in many of the counties, and have had intercourse with men who have known the State all their lives. I am prepared to maintain this proposition with regard to the Maine law: . “It is an ‘incalculable blessing’ to all the owners of real estate. This is the chief rea~ son why the State has not been ruined in these hard times. It has almost annihilated drunkenness among the farmers. The farms have prospered and the buildings and roads have wonderfully improved throughout the State. The most intelligent men attribute this largely to the Maine law. In many farming towns you cannot get a drop of liquor for love nor money. ‘ It is a boon to all manufacturers. Their men work better, produce more and break and injure less. Manufacturers have told me that they could not get on successfully with rum shops around them,nor would they attempt it. It is nearly an equal blessing to the lumber men. Now these embrace the bulk of the property of the State. . As to crime, I found the jail of .Oxford County empty, and-I have been assured the perism is hardly known except in the cities. I inquired of a man h0w many paupers he had in his town, and he said there were none. There were people more or less poor, and thercmight be some so poor as to be helped by their friends; buta town pauper would be a town disgrace. There were certain cities—Portland, Lew-i iston, Bangor, Calais, etc—wherein this state of things is different. Cities will always have a class that will evade all law. The Maine law is to some extent evaded in the cities, and there is_ found most of the crime and pauperism. Ruin is brought or smuggled in in every possible way. Even there, however, the evil is diminished, and as a public sentiment becomes more sound, stronger measures will be resorted to. The whole rum interest has fallen into the vilcst class, who defy public sentiment, and like thieves and tramps, look only to‘ what they can get without too much danger.” -————0—~O*.——-——' A Sensible Queen.

TWO SIIOVV CxlSES, CHARLES s. pnowrrr, Driiggist. Morris a freiaaelis Celebrated 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. 1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK” consists in placing the bolts and locks on the inside of the dodr (as shown in the cut above) where they are at all times accessible, and can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus prevent them from unexpectedly locking you out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed next the outside plate of iron, being covered completely by the filling, consequently ini- possrble to oil or clean them without digging out the filling, which is expensive, bEsidcs losmg 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 “ ATENT ercnn CAP" consists of the back plate of the door being hung on hinges, and fastened by a. thllmb‘SCI'cWfllT'IllCll enables one to have access to the locks and bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw. 3:]. While other safe-makers use three wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv- ing the best four-whecl locks for bank safes). we put on our FOUR—W'iiunr. Locus on all safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for simplicity and durability cannot be excelled. 4th. All our Safes are inox-Lirvnn' 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 tile Safc’s being damp. All corners of the Safes ' are secured with angle iron, which, together with the very hard nature of our filling, pro — vents them from injury from falling, or fall— ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have Timur: l-‘LANGES instead of single or double as in others, and are made with and without inside doors. In tlle great Boston fire our-Safes had the champion record, as was fully proved at the time, to thesedmportant 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,tliosc 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 conclusivclv proved the superiority of our Safes to resist intense heat, we believed that we could Illi< Iii-”veiliem, and We have, therefore, since that time, increased the thickness of the walls, added to the number of flanges, and strength- eucd them in various ways, until we now manufacture a. Safe better than over before and unequalled fol'its excellence. It has beer: ' our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that can be produced, believing that, especially in piiralasiug 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 dhcap- 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 bestwe know how to produce. Send for descriptive catalogue. Morris & lreiand, 64 Summer Street. Beaten; .i
