ROWAYTON.

Our usually quiet community has been
painfully excited the past few days over the
alledged irregularities of our recent Assistant
Postmaster and Station Agent, Mr. Chas. A.
Hubbs. His sudden disappearance last
Wednesday and letters since received, most
penitently confessing his guiltincss leave
no doubt of his crimes. He confesses to
have opened letters and taken their contents,
but has preserved the letter in every case
and tells where they are hidden. These
have been recovered, and the total amount
withdrawn does not exceed $30. The Rail-
road Company sent up and had his books
examined F‘ay, and they find about $70
deficient, but as one month’s salary was due
him on the lst, their loss will be small.
The Adams Express Company had about
$20 also in his hands which he decampcd
with, Mr. Olivef Cook, our P.‘ M., has
notified the Department at Washington, and
an expert will be sent to investigate the post
office. Hubbs has written his wife in a
spirit of the utmost contrition and expresses
his desire to return and surrender himself
up, and it is expected he will do so today
or to-morrow. He left a wife and two bright
little children who have the sympathy of
every one. He came here from New Jersey
about five years since and by his frank and
apparently upright conduct, soon won his
way to the confidence and-esteem of our
little community. . His amiability and in-
telligence led the Railroad CO. to appoint
him station agent, soon after his; arrival, and
as our post office is in the depot building,
his appointment as Assistant Postmaster
soon followed. He also transacted what
little business is done here by the Adams
Express Co. About two years ago he united
with the Baptist church, and at the time of
his fall was assistant Superintendent of the
Sunday school. He seemed the friend of
every one and, enjoyed the confidence and
good will of all our people. His salary and
perquisites from. all his little positions netted
him about $48 per month, which was ample
for the support of his little family in the
modest and economical way they lived, and
his ruin, would seem to indicate some ex—
traordinary expenditure of which his most
intimate friends are not aware. He was
strictly temperate, and prompt, obliging and
accurate in all his dealings with the patrons
of the Railroad. He is reported to haze
attempted suicide, when a full sense of his
crimes pressed their overwhelming weight
upo his mind. It is a sad and painful
warning to all in places of trust never to use
another's money or to deviate from the plumb
line of the strictest integrity. 1‘. II. R.

Ridgefleld.

Ridgefield elected all her Republican tick-
et by 57 majority. 1st amendment carried
by 49 majority, and 2d one lost by 24 major-
ity.

On Sunday week the Roman Catholics ded-
icated their new little chapel. An extra
train brought visitors and a brass band from
Danbury. The Ridgefield Band marched
down to the depot and joined in the escort
of the visitors up to Main street and the 10-
cality of the chapel. While passing the
Methodist church it is charged that the home
band more especially, gave their instruments
an extra beat and blast, either to emphasize
their unusual Sunday performance or to
specially honor the protestant worshippers.
Be this as it may, so great and so deafening
was the din (if drums and bugles outside that
the religious ‘sorvices within the M. E.
Church had to be discontinued for a consid-
erable time. The Rev. Mr. Teller, of the
Congregational Church, was occupying the

M. E. Pulpit, having that day exchanged
with the regular pastor, Rev. Mr. S. H. Platt.
This fact it is supposed was unknown to the
dispensers of such robust music, the theory
being that their desire was to give the Meth-
odist pastor a special blast from their horns
and drums. But the circumstance of this
chaiue Of pastors made the Methodist wor—
shippers all the more indignant at the inter-
ruption of their church services. In the
evening Mr. Platt resumed his own pulpit and
read the law against such Sabbath disturban-
ces as had so grossly outraged them in their
worship, and denounced the conduct of the
Band in the severest terms. 'At the close of
the evening services the “Official Board” of
the church. met and protested at the outrage
and discussed the question of criminally
prosecuting the Band. More moderate coun-
sels finally prevailed and no legal action is
likely to be had, it is said, although, the pub-
lic conviction is that the Methodist brethren

 

were unnecessarily and inexcusably annoyed ‘

in their church worship. It is also claimed
that the Catholics themselves regret that their
dedicationservices should have been marred
by any just grounds of complaint against
them by their Protestant neighbors, but the
local excitement in Ridgefield over the
is very general and intense.

The alarm of fire was raised Saturday even-
ingvbetween ten and eleven. The fire was
consuming two new barns of David HIont,
which were totally destroyed. Horses, wag—
ons and farming utensils were saved. The
fire must have been of incendiary origin.

WESTPORT.

The death last week in Fairfield, of Mr-
Lewis Burr, brother of Capt. H. P. Burr,
recalls memories of the pleasant times more
than thirty years ago, when, deceased was
actively enployed among us. He was al-
most the first Westport man in 1849 to leave
for the California gold mines. Many who
knew him well when he made what was
then considered a reckless venture, remain
to regret his demise, and to appreciate, as is
hoped, the motive which prompts the pen-
ning of this item. -

A Green's Farms young man named Cross
man, was up for trial in Westport, Satur-
day, charged with cutting off one of Frank
Whitehead’s cow’s teats. He was held for
trial! He should have been bound over to
keep the—piece.

Wednesday last,‘Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Lock-
wood returned from a trip through the
eastern portion of New York State. They
traveled in their own conveyance, visiting,
among other places Peekskill, Sing Sing,
Yorktown and Croton Dam. An Indian
Summer temperature made it pleasant for
them from the beginning to the end of the trip.

The Bell of Memorial Church is to be
provided with a new and approved striking
apparatus. Mr. Little of Brooklyn, agent
will introduce the improvement. ,

.Many Westporters, took advantage of the
magnificent weather to attend the fairs at
Ridgefield and Danbury. They speak of the
latter as one of the finest, excelling by far
our own County Fair, as to the number and
quality of articles exhibited, the interest
manifested by the home.people,and the gross
receipts. '

The two Washington, D. C., byciclc rid;
ers on their way to Boston, Mass, passed

Much dissatisfaction ha ving been express-
ed at the way in which the meeting was
conducted, the principle point being the
haste with which important town business
was rushed through, that the selectmen in
response to the petition of many wealthy
'citizens have issued a call for another meet—
ing to be held at Sturges Hall on Saturday
afternoon. -

The other day a Cross Highway youth

Miss Amy Lobdell, sister of the late Philo.
W. Jones, who died at Wilton, last week
in the’82d year of her age, and who was
buried from Christ Church, Sunday after-
noon, was known in nearly every domestic
circle in this village, and beloved by all.
Truth and real goodness were her charact—
eristics, and she was an earnest and devout
christian. The labor of her life was devoted
to others. Many of those whose youthful
footsteps she guided will find their way to
the spot where zest her ashes, and the grass
upon her gravelike precious memories of her
will be kept fresh and green.

At this writing the condition of Miss Mar-
garet Jackson remains unchanged. Her de-
parture is looked for at any moment.

Treadwell, two tracts] of, land on the depot

is among the most desirable in town. Mr.
R will commence to erect this fall.

At a special meeting of the Westport Pin-
afore Company, held at the house of Mr.
Charles Harris,(Dick Dead eye) Friday even-
ing, Mr. James. E. Lees presented his re-
port of transactions by him as the company’s
manager. It appeared that, after paying
all bills. quite a respectable sum remained,
either to be divided among the singers, or
to be used in the cause of music. A resolu-
tion thanking Mr. Lees for the work done
by him, through which so, much pleasure
and instruction had been secured to the
members of the company, was. passed.
Messrs. E. M. Lees, Charles Harris and F.
H. Nash, and Misses Elsie Lees and Sarah

The defeat of the proposed Constitutional
Amendments renders the choice of a repre—
sentative from Wilton again necessary. In
view of this fact “Will Tonn" would an-
nounce himself as an “independent" candi-
date for the legislature. . Heis led to take
this step, because on his' part it, requires no
“sacrifice”: he has no farm “which will
surely run to ruin at the rate of fifty dollars
a day" while he is absent at Hartford: his
business moreover does not “demand his
close and constant supervision “for he has
none. As to the fact that there are other men
who profess “more ability”: and grant for
the sake of argument, but he nevertheless
feels confident that he can draw his salary
with as much eelerity as the .ablest man in
town, and compute the fractional parts of his
mileage as closely and accurately as the most
experienced. As to his ability to wear out
state furniture, and use the “supplies” which
a generous commonwealth provides for her
statemen, “Will Tenn" only asks that his
capacity in this respect be given the advan—
tage of a fair trial. WILL TONN.

HOpeless Solicitude. -

The domains of Miss-Mary E. Gregory,
daughter of George Gregory,_.of_North Ha-
ven, whose sad death from a probable
overdose of morphine taken to allay neuralg’c
pain, were brought to Darien on TMOnday of
last week for interment. Owingfto a singu.
lar appearance about the corpse, the parents
and friends were seized with the supposition
that life might not be extinct, and from that
circumstance the most cruelly sensational
stories have been spread. A friend of the
bereaved family furnishes ‘tlS with the fol—
lowing accurate narrative Of the circumstan-
ces which have obtained such wide and in—
correct publicity. Miss Gregory. had been
ill at.tin’Ies for some ~weeks prior to her
demise. :Week before last, her parents seeing
she was much better, went away for a brief
visit, and returning on Thursday found her
worse, when they called a doctor who left
her some medicine to be given her in water-
At 12 that night her parents retired, but at
2 and 4 a. in. they gave her again of the
remedy. About 8 o’clock Friday morning
she went into_a convulsion, and her mother
dashed the contents of the tumbler into her
face to revive her! She soon recovered and
asked her mother why she was so frightened

at3 p. in. she expire There'were 'then
three physicians prese who had no misgiv-
ings as to life being extinct. She was pre—
pared for burial, and that. Friday evening.
placed in an ice box where her remains lay
until Monday, when they were placed in the

train from New Haven. From the Darien
Depot the remains were taken to Ox Ridge
burying ground for interment. Here the
casket was opened that Darien friends might
view the face of the deceased. The eyes of
the parents were quick to see spots near the
nose and on both ears of pink tints of life-like
hues,and their overwrought, nervous anxiety
led them to the unfounded suspicion that

life was not extinct.
were proceeded with, however, the casket
lowered into the grave and a commencement
made at filling, when the aroused suspicions
of the parents so overpOWed them that they
ordered the coffin to be taken from the grave,
reopened and finally conveyed to the adjacent
house'of Jacob Slausop, Esq, where it re—
mained until Tuesday, when no signs 01 life
appearing, and a Darien physician assuring
the grief—stricken parents that their suspi-
cions were groundless, the' remains were then
duly buried. ‘ These are the exact facts in
the case and they are sufficiently sad without
exaggeration, as the grief of parents and
friends is all the more severe On account of
them.

It is not an unusual thing, say the physi-
cians, for these flesh tints to appear on the
dead, but they are a more certain evidence of
death rather than of lingering life. The
Palladium in reporting the case says that a
person present at the funeral in this case had
heard of a similar case not long ago in Brook-
'lyn, New York. There a wife was shot in
the neck and supposed to have died. Burial
was prevented in some fortunate manner,and
the lady recovered. This fact and that of
the muscles of the body not being well
marked, lent additional color to the hopes of
the mourning friends. While the painful
circumstances attending this bereavement
have given it an exceptionalpublicity, it has
also reesulted an equally general feeling of
sympathy for the afflicted family.

P. S. He returned to-day and voluntarily
went before U. S. Commissioner Woodward
and surrendered himself. He was told to go
home and await a} complaint. I

Mr. J. 8. Bone , of Stone Ridge, which we pub-
lish below. Mr. Beach 15.0110 of the most respect-
ed citizens of Stone Ridge, and is_ extensively
known over this and adjom‘ing counties.Thc story
is almost too good to be true. There is no reason

terested—who are of‘ unquestioned veracity—and
the dates are carefully given, while hundreds of
others stand read to prove the statement in

STONE IN THE BLADDER EXPELLED AFTER US-
ING MEDICINE ABOUT T\V0 \VEEKS.

One of the most remarkable cases that has ever
been brought to the notice of the ublic is that
of Mr. J. S. Beach,of Stone Ridge. lster Co..N.Y.

Mr. Beach had suffered since Oct. 18, 1814, from
the presence of Calculus or stone in the right
Kidney, and he endured pain month after month
more than tongue can tell, which rendered him
totally unable to attend to his usual occupation.
No less than seven hysicians were em loyed at
different times.to_w om Mr.Beach paid undreds
ofidollars for medical treatment, with only tem-
porary relief from his agony.

. By the urgent solicitation orhis friends he was
induced to try Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
Accordingly, on the 28th day of August last he

roeured a bottle of' Mr. Kimble of Stone Ridge,

n this county, and st page as it may seem, it is
none the less true, the he experienced a marked
improvement from the first day he began to use
the medicine. He continued to grow better every
day, when on the 15th day of September he void-
ed a stone as large a_s could be passed through the
natural channel, which was very rough and of'
irregular shape. His Joy was unbounded, for lie
wel knew that this ha een the cause of all his
trouble. He showedt one to_ several of‘ the
- physicians who had nded him previous .to
using the Favorite Remedy, and ALL of
pressed in unmeasured terms their an
the PROMPTNESS and OERTAINT with.
which the Favorite Remedy had acted. _Nor did
they seek to hide their pleasure _at seeing Mr.
Beach so happily relieved of his difficulty.

Mr. Beach concludes a. lon letter to Dr. Ken-
nedy by saying: “You have ndeed made .a great
discovery—one that has and will continue to
prove a real blessing-re. boon to suffering human
ity; and it will always afford me pleasure to rec-
ommend the Favorite Remedy to those who may
be suffering from difficulties of the Kidneys and
Bladder.or any disorders arising from an impure
state of the blood. You are at libert to make
such use of this letter as you may thin best.

Yours. veg truly, . ' ' ‘
