The barn of Charles C. Wheeler, was en-
tered on Tuesday evening last, and his best
harness, valued at $25 taken away. The
barn of Gregory Fillow was also entered and
an old harness taken down, but not carried
away; his best one he keeps in his house.

Mr. ‘G. H. Comstock is rc—roofing his
dwelling house. ' .
The bridge near the house of Mr. John
Brown has been thoroughly repaired under

The sumac bushes, which for so longs
time adorned the cemetery at the corner of

Wednesday lash-the fair bride being Miss
Jennie H. the oldest daughter of Mr. Olms—
tead, and the gallant groom Mr. Augustus
W. Merwin. Thelzeremony was performed
by the Rev. Mr. Hodge of Danbury, as—

Mr. Frederick Gregory was to leaue for
Canada yesterday in company with Mr. John
Lockwood of Wilton.
The suit of the Town vs Raymond, was
not finished on Saturday as expected, but ,
was adjourned to Saturday next. This suit
threatens to assume some magnitude, and to
bring out some nice points of law ; it is now
claimed, we understand,that the present Bel-
den Hill road was laid out on a private way,
and‘he public only held the use thereof by
adverse possession.
Mrs. George Lockwood was thrown from
her wagon on Thursday last, by the breaking
of a seat, but fortunately escaped without
any serious injuries. . ‘
One of the conspicuous improvements on
the Belden's Hill road, is the change in the
grade of the hill near _ the house of. Mr. F.
L. Benedict. The interest which Mr. Josiah
Gilbert has taken in this work has caused the
correspondent of the Farmer to dub this the
“Gilbert elevated road.”

Killed.
On Sa‘ lrday forenoou the 20th ult. Carrie
Fuller 5 "ttle 8 year old daughter of the late
Rev. S . G. Fuller a former - rector of St.
Matthe .. '3 church, Wilton, was killed in the
town of Geddes, near Syracuse N. Y. The
Sunday School of Grace church,Syracuse,was
going off on a picnic by railand boat to a
place called Phoenix. At Geddes a portion
of the party among whicn was Mrs. Fuller
and her daughter, started to walk up the
track to the pier where the, boat lay, just
before reaching which Carrie ran ahead and
unfortunately got upon a track just ahead of
a heavy freight train.
The Syracuse Journal says :——-As she was
about to step upon the track the bumper
beam in front struck her in the face over the
left eye, crushing in the skull and throwing
her forward between the rails. The whole
train passed over the child, but strange to
relate, only her shoulders and left arm at the
wrist were mutilated.
The heart—reading accident at once cast a
Gloom over the entire party, whose previous-
Ty happy spirits were dashed to sorrow, and
very many tears told of the sympathy which
went out to the bereaved mother, who was
driven almost to distraction by the sudden
death of her idolized daughter. The deceas-
ed was an only daughter aged eight years.
Of a bright and promising nature, a general
favorite with relatives and playmates, her
unfortunate death under the attending cir-
cumstances, has caused sorrow not only in
the home of the widowed mother, but many
warm friends mingle their tears with those of
the bereaved relatives.
The entire party returned to the city as
soon as'the accident happened, the projected
excursion having been abandoned. '

A story has been going \the rounds of the
press, concerning the doings in the court
room, while the jury. was deliberating on a
verdict in the Bucholz case, such as a mock

stories. If New York reporters cannot‘nd
any better business when they come to Con—~
necticut, than misrepresenting the people,
they had better stay at'home. Such things
might do for papers of the same ilk as the

“What’s in a Name.”
Mayor Ely is in as great a quandary for a
name for his new Hotel as was ever a proud
mother for a suitable cognomen for her first
baby. Noramake, Naramake, Old Well Ho-
tel, Grand Central, Ely House, aud “the
House that Jack built," have all been suggest-
ed and duly weighed. Mr. Ely craves a
name local in its origin and historical in asso-
ciation. On this basis we timidly suggest
the “O’ne” or “Onesimus House.” No local
character stands out more picturesquely and
prominently in all our Revolutionary history
than this colored servant of the Misses
Comstocks. No one has so effectually linked
the past with the present. O’ne was also
cook and general purveyor to Rev. Dr. Bur-
nett, Norwalk’s patriotic chaplain in the
Revolutionary army, This emphasizes the
personal fitness of his name for attachment
to a hostlery. “O‘ne” is both highly eupho-
neous and spiced with ancient historical rem-
iniscences, and great men and noted men
down through all the ages, have been honor-
ed by having their names emblazoned on
hotel signboards, and why not a character so
noted MO’ne or Onesimus? The accidental
fact of O‘ne having been 'a colored mau,would
make the new tavern all the more popular

ic Committee last week, at Wormley's Hotel

The Fire Bug Again.
.Thc burn on the old Thomas Benedict
place, West Avenue, was destroyed by fire
early last Wednesday evening. The Fire—
men were very prompt in responding to the
alarm, extinguished the flames and wet down
the adjoining buildings,but the old frame was
valueless and was pulled down. Mr. Noo.
nan, who lives on the place, had from ten to
twelve tons of hay at a quantity of corn in
the barn, which was all destroyed. He was
insured $165.

about the Agency were killedzby the Indians.

No state under republican control has ever
repudiated its debt.
In 1865 the United States taxes were
$558,032,620, In 1878 the United States
taxes were $257,763,879.
In 1865 the expenses of the-United States
government were $1,287,550,225. In 1878
the expenses of the linifed States govern-
ment were $236,964,326;
Put the repudiating south in control of
the United States government, and the credit
of the nation would be worse than it was un-
der the last democratic administration. _
In 1865 the bonded debt of the United
_ States was $2,881,520,294,with an annual in-
terest; of $150,677,597. In 1879 the bonded
debt is $397,643,760, and _the annual inter-
' est $83,773,778.
The annual reductions in the accounts of
the United States-government since 1865
have been as follows :—
Expenses, $1,060,590,898
Taxes, 300.268,741
Bonded debt, 583,886,594
Interest, 67,303,819
The last democratic administration was in
1860, when James Buchanan was Presldent.
The United States government was then
forced to pay equal to twelve per cent. for the
use of money. Now the United States gov-
ernment has funded the debt contracted in
putting down the democratic rebellion at four
per cent.
Southern states under democratic control
—viz., Louisiana, Mississippi Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee—
have repudiated their debts. This is the main
part of the “solid south” that seeks to con-
trol the government of the United States.0ne
- of their state rights is to repudiate their
debts.

The story told by Mrs. Chisolm before the
court in Kemper county, Mississippi,is one of
the most thrilling and horrible that any jury
ever listened to. It is a story which ,would
cause a shudder of horror if it related to an
experience among the Sepoys of India or to
the brutalities of war between the Turks and
Bulgarians. But it was the experience of an
intelligent and lovable family in one of the
great states of the Union in the time of peace.
Of the head of the family, Judge Chisolm,
Senator Lamar said in a speech shortly before
thebutchery: “This man Chisolm I do not
personally know, but am told he is the most
sauve of gentlemen, winning and gentle in
his manners, kind and charitable, and one
who never turns his back on sorrow, and
from whom the widow and the orphan never
go away with empty hands. So much the
more harm can he do.” And the White
Leaguers were determined to getrid of him.
He knew their intentions and met them as_ a
brave man who knew no fear. And the
heroism exhibited by the whole family, moth-
er, daughter and sons was sublime. Nothing
more heroic was ever written in history.
When the mob decided to take Mr. Chisolm to
the jail, his family knew as well as he that it
meant murder. They determined to go with
him and and from that time to the end, they
formed a body guard around him, so that the
fiends who sought his life could only succeed
after they had made a way for their bullets,
by shooting down a little son and the daugh-
JGT. a young lady as beautiful and gentle as
she was brave. It is not wonderful that the
.- mother, in telling how her loved ones were
butchered before her face, was overpowered
by her grief. But it is wonderful that there
should exist a community in any civilized
country where such crimes could go without
instant and condign punishment, and where
even new public sentiment is on the side of
the murders. And all because Chisolm was
a Republican who would not give up his
rights as a man at the bidding of a mob of
Southern Democrats.

The tramp law seems to work well in Con'
necticut. There are now in the jail at New
Haven only 150 prisoners, against 230 at the
same time last year. Sheriff Byxbee says
this marked decrease in the number of pris-
oners is due to the fact that the tramp law
has driven out of the State a large number of
people who were regular visitants at the jail.
here are now very few commitments from
the smaller towns in the county,which is also
due to the tramp law, as in times gone by
earl all the commitments have been from
the c ass known as tramps.

the envelopes covering such letters, and to
note thereon the date and hour of the receipt

In the last issue of the Sentinel, under
the heading of “Rowayton” appears an item
reflecting on our fellow townsman Col. Col-
yer, which is so ungenerous in sentiment,
so uncalled for, and on the part of the writ—
er prompted by petty personal spite, that
we feel it_a duty to enter a word of protest.
The Col. has during his residence among
us endeared himself to our people by his
enterprise, benevolence and public spirit,
and any one at all familiar with his past
record, knows him to be incapable of any
act whereby his neighbors and friends would
be the sufferers. We wish to provoke no
newspaper discussion, but simply desire to
correct any 'wrong impression that might
get abroad from reading the misspelled pro-
duction of the Sentinels correspondence,
and knowing that Col. Colyer would not
deign to notice the item in question we pen
the above in his behalf without his knowl—
edge. Probably the first intimation the
Col. will have of the matter willbe when
he reads this communication, without a
marked copy of the Sentinel has been sent
him, Respectfully Yours, ‘
