several strangers in their usually quiet town.
From a conversation overheard between
three or four of them, they were. suspected to

served with a notice from the Warden~of the
Borough and the States Attorney, ordering
him to leave town by six o’clock the next
morning, but he claiming he was in legiti—
mate business he refused ‘to leave. One of

Tm: PARADE.
Westport can well feel prgudgf the suc—
cess of her first annuabfire :parade and pe-
culiarly gratifyinginfus‘tfsit’be to all when
the thought ofggsdni'e former failures to do
what we set out for, is taken into consider-
ation,-——the Fourth of July Celebration of
1845, for instance. Having redeemed our
the leaf,of which last Wednesday’s incidents
forms one pleasing page and justly claim,
not only equality with our sister neighbors,
but as having outdone them in many re-.
spects. This igz‘n'othp‘Oken egotistically.
The weather of Wednesday did not- promise
well at thebutsct, and as the day were on
the elements seemed to have conspired to
give rain instead of the brightness anxiously
hoped for, and Which every fireman and
fireman’s friend thought he hada right to
expect.“Old Prob" is‘a queer pgrsonage and,
while giving warning in time, sent outa
dash or .two of that,- whicbroh gala days like
ours a fireman most dread's', but without
which he couldn‘t be much of a fireman,—
water, but the. drops fell upon us gently and
so sparingly that all hands voted the cir-
cumstance a favor in that it helped lay the
dust and restrain the heat of a September
sun, which, otherwise might have become
unbeu'ablc. Tuesday our good people, es-
pecially those residing on the proposed line
of march began to decorate their houses and
grounds, with flags and bunting. Norwalk
and other near tov'vns responding liberally,
to the calls of our borrowers—a credit to the
lenders who thusshowedthey were pre-
pared for such )occasiousjby keeping flags
and all the public ways leading to it never
appeared gayer or more profusely attired.
The scene on Wednesday morning as one
entered the village was one worth rememb-
ering, nearly every tree—and the village is
embowered in trees, seemed to have a flag
depending from its branches, and few houses
were seen undecorated. Prejudices seemed
to have been pocketed and in their place a
united effort had sprung up to make this——'
trait turned out to be, a gala day. Sauga—.
tuck with her band of enterprising citizens
sis: in the grand glorification and receive
the visitors. Bunting appeared everywhere.
One after another the various fire companies
arrived at the depot and their machines were
er,) Hope Hose and Pioneer Hook ob Ladder
Company, all of Nor-Walk, came over by
land as it were. and were ready to assist
the brethren as they left the train. Flags
on J elliffe Bros. store, Hubbell 85 Wake—
mans, yacht Ibis and a dozen other points
waved a welcome to the boysas they left the
depot. ,
0n reaching Staples’ grove, the boys
halted by company and partook; of collation.
This operation occupied mere time than the
committee had intended, but the eaters came
awayfrom the table with a “much obliged
to' you,” on each of their countenances. The
result demonstrated what has often been
claimed, that frequent lunches are a benefit
to good men and true. Passing towards the
village, the sight which the men and their
machines presented was beautiful and grand.
Decorations at the following residences on
the line are worthy of better mention than
the space allowed us will admit of. Mr.

peered onthe line. ' Crost of peOple had
assembled, at; jar-ions, paints on :the line,
cheering and receiving cheers from the
passing firemen. All;the bands played well,
in some instances eliciting applause. The
men were neatly dressed, and moved
with a regularity and system that betokened
practice and familiarity with their business.
The line reached Gorham‘s lot on Elm street
at about two o'clock. Here a pavilion 250
had been erected, and under it were the con:
tributions, in the shape of eatables, of the
town’s people, which means the ladies, in
quantity sufiicient to feed an army if it did
not;number over' 3,000. The donors of the
tempting display of pastry and the like were
on hand gaily dressed, to aid in dispensing
it to the guests. A short time only was
needed to set the ball in motion, and- in less
time than it takes to write it, 700 firemen
and their friends were familiarizing them—
selves with Westport’s turkeys, chickens and
samples of beef, pork and mutton,—her
barrels of coffee, her hogsheads of lemonade,
cords of pork and beans, stacks of doughnuts
and pies, cargoes of melons, ‘&.c. doc. doc.
This spread was not intended to have been
disturbed till a formal introduction by some
hungry and enthusiastic one, and not till a
considerable inroad had '7 been made upon
the appetite inspiring fortress, could Rev. A.
N. Lewis get a chance to sandwich in his
humorous poem, penned for the occasion.
Leaving his plate of fare, as yet ,less than
one half attended to, that gentleman mount—
ed a chair and read from his ingenious com-
position, the poem which together with the
order of procession will be found on the
fourth page of GAzarra.
Frequent cheers interrupted the author,
and jolly souls swaying among the crowd

to catch a word or two' Of the wit as it
sparkled said: “What sort of chap is he who

have need to fear the ills that fire often leads
to with such property defenders in their
midst. The day closed with regrets that the

One of the most amusing seenes we hav
witnessed in a long time occurred during the
parade at Westport, last week. As the head
of the line approached a gaily decorated res-
idence’on Compo street, a party of a dozen
or'mor‘e fair ladies and a gentleman or two
were quitedly seated on the front veranda,
who rather ti’midly and modestly commenced
waving their handkerchiefs, when suddenly
from a second story window above, screened
from their view, appeared a buxom colored
aunty who at once cemmenced most vigorous
demonstrations of welcome and delight. The.
Norwalk Fire Police. albeit sober and dis-
creet men of mature age and wisdom,
but alvvays=,ready to appreciate the indi-
crous, took in the situation at a glance, and,
enthusiastically "-waved back greetings of
good will. The good aunty was so delighted
thereat that she grew frantic in her enthu—
siasm, and almost threw, herself out of the
window, and the more she waved the wilder
were the response from the Police, who
thoroughly enjoyed the double play. The
good ladiesdown stairs were evidently. sur-
prised at the unusual enthusiasm of the
Police, but catching the fever rose to their
feet and were soon waving their handker
chiefs in a progressive manner—faster and
faster, and faster still."”"'1"he more they
waved the more the goodrnatured police-
men laughed. and shouted, and waived their
hats in perfect enjoyment of the scene, and
the more they laughed and shouted the more
the aunty above and the ladies below'exel ted
themselves to respond. The DanburyPolice
came up and at once entering into the spirit
of the scene, the fun increased. The Police
passed on, but as company after company
came up, shouts and laughter were heard,
showing that the fun was still going on.
Certainly the police saw no scene elsewhere
to compare with it, and no house in West-
port was honored with such" demonstrations
of delight. The warm-hearted annty -nn-
dOubtedly caused the ladies much mystifica-
tion but she captured more applause for the
house than all Westport combined.

To All Old Soldiers.
izations which took part in the war of the
Union—some thirty-three or more in num—
ber—has decided to take part in the grand
parade of September 17th, when the old
battle-flags will bop transferred to the new
state'_capitol.;.There, will also be alarge
representation of the old soldiers and sailors
of other states.
It is expected that trains from all parts 01
the state will reach Hartford before 10.30
o’clock, on the 17th. Half-fare tickets will
be sold on all roads, good for the 17th
only. The tickets will be for old soldiers
and all others coming to Hartford on that
ay.
Soldiers arriving will report at once to
their headquarters In tents on the park near
the depot, and will there hold their business
meeting, and make necessary arrangements-
for the parade. Each regiment will select its
own commanding oflicers. Every soldier is
recommended to bring a lunch with him to
eat before the parade, as the collation will
not be served until after the parade, which
may be as late as 2.30 p. in. . . ' g
, Uniforms,‘ While it"will not 'be possible
to arrange for'any regularity of uniform, it is
suggested that the men come, so far as pos-
sible, in blue or dark suits,hand with black
felt hats. But no soldier need-stay away on,
account of lack of uniform. Officers are at
liberty to wear their side arms, but it will'
not be expected except of the officers of the
generals'taif. ‘ '
Music. It is hoped that all musicians who
still have their instruments, (drums and fifes).
will report with them. They will be, so far
as possible, consolidated and placed at the
head of the line, or at suitable divisions in.
the line to furnish music for all. Where the
old soldiers of any town propose coming
together, with a band, it is suggested that
they send-word'in advance so‘that the bands
may be roperly utilized. .. " ' ‘ '
The rswill be delivered to the desig—.
nated color bearers at the arsenal. The
colors .will be examined, and those which can
be unfurled wilhout'detrimcnt willbe carried
unfurled if the day is suitable. Those which
are too badly damaged must not be unfurled.
If there areany other matters other than
“these, upon which information is needed,
letters may be addressed to J. C. Kinney,
Hartford.
Hartford wants to raise about $4,000 for
the expenses of Battle Flag day. The new
State Capitol is to be illuminated. There are
forty-two State flags, thirty-eight national
colors, and twenty guidons tube cared for.
Every war regiment will bereprese nted, and
it is thought as many as 6,000 old soldiers
will be present.
The reunion of the old 7th Regiment C.
V., will take place at Hartford after the
battle flag parade. Collation free, and free
return tickets. . . -
The N. Y.; N. H. & H. Railroad have de-
cided to issue excursion tickets to Hartford,
and return, on the 17th, at half fare rates, to
all applicants—ex—soldiers or civilians.

A public well enough disposed to be chari-
table, when charity is needed, would really
like to know whether Memphis desires assis-
tance or not. The Memphis Avalanche says
in substance that after the donations of last
year, amounting toinea’rly three-‘quarters of a
million of dollars, and considering that the
pestilence this year may be fairly attributed
to Mcmpbian lack of cleanliness, begging is
resorted to with an ill grace. “If it must. be
resorted to, try Tennessee first,” says The
Avalanche. It is a great State, with over a.
million of inhabitants. They should be ap-
pealed to first, especially as “it is the pcrsis-
lent neglect of—its own citizens that has made
a pest-house of Memphis." “Are we to be
looked upon," says this newspaper, “in the
light of perpetual paupers ?"

A mean fellow in Cincinnati takes the prize
for swindling methods of raising money. He
was fellow-boarder with a Miss Roberts, she
being a dressmaker and: he a reputed ex-
army officer; . He told her he was very
wealthy, although the fact was that he was a
penniless adventurer. She fell in love with
him, but hesitated about marrying him be-
fore learning something of his antecedents.
One day he pretended to faint away, and, on
being put to bed said that his illness would
quickly kill him, as it was the result of an
old wound which he ‘had long known would
finally prove fatal. He expressed a desire to
marry Miss Roberts before he died, and be-
queath to her all his property. She consented
and they became husband and wife. Then-
he recovered, permitted his wife to pay his
board for several weeks, borrowed $50, all
her savings, and disappeared.
