The oystersupper at the chapel on Tues—
day eve, 2181;, passed off with usual success.
Rev. C. M. Selleck with many Nprwalk
friends were present, also Rev. Mr.Bradford,

Mrs. Charles Bates is quite ill.
_ Mr. H. B. Mather, who has long been an
invalid, has been confined. to his house for
some days. , ,
Mrs. Raymond, our postmistress, Wishes
the statement that she left the post oflice in
charge of Mr. and Mrs. Griffin on her recent
pleasure trip corrected, as an assistant who
had taken the oath had charge. By the way
if all those who are accommodatedby hav-
ing a post office in our midst,‘reallzed how
many steps, much care and confinement were
necessary to«periorm the duties of mail car— ,
trier and postmistress Well, I think they
would try to increase the trificover one bun-1
dred and fifty dollars a year which has been
received, by securing the mailing of all ,mat—
ter possible at this office; It might be a dif-
ficult matter to get one to take charge of 'the
mail who would give as general satisfaction
as Mr. and Mrs. Raymond have done. Mr.
Raymond has to report the number of letters
cancelled the first seven' days of November.
Let there be a fatmaii bag.
There is very little fall fruit in this locality,
this _ season, and those accustomed to ‘re—'
ceive some profit from the sale of fruit will
miss it, but I am happy ‘to be able to state
. positively that there is no prospect of earth
ones being oblidged to put their property out
of their hands to avoid paying their honest
. debts, nor will the helpless ones who should
be dear as well'as near to them, be left to the
care of public charity. '
Mr. F. Bates has not been out of town to
work for a single day in a number of weeks,
and has all he can do in town, but is ready
to fill any good order to the best of his abil-
ity, so is his partner. .“
West Norwalk has lost two more of its

. The vote forlicense bears the .legitimate
_ fruits... It is not unusual to see men, whOse
families need all they earn reeling along the
street {that voters looked upon as an en-
dorsement of the free use of liquor as a
common beverage renders the drum shop
more respectable and more dangerous tor
the youth. Alas that many of the young,
are accustomed to frequent these places
where is laid the foundation of their future
rain.
The communion service of the Congre-
gational Church will be held the first Sab-
bath in November at the Town Hall. The

hopefully the first term under Miss ard.
She is assisted by Miss Richards a graduate
of.Wesleyan, who is competent to give in-
structions ,in Greek, Latin, Music, &c ,.&c.
There can be no better opportunity for a
thorough -education than is furnished by
this school. The location of the school is
both healthy and delightful. All who at-
tend as boarders not only find a congenial
home, but find the best instructions. Par-
ents can feel safe in‘ committing their child-
' ten to the care of Miss Ward.
The Woman’s Missionary Society held a
pleasant meeting at the Congregational par—
sonage last Thursday afternoon. Letters of
rofound interest were read from ladies in
India and Turkey. Mrs. Bradford presc n—
ed an entertaining report of the late meeting
of the American Board at syracuse, which
she attended. That meeting of the board
was regarded by men like Mr. Beard, one of
the most interesting ever held.
[Deierredirom last week.]
Mr. Stephen R. Hoyt was married on
Tuesday last 'to Miss Ella M., eldest daughter
of Mr. James Burchard. The ceremony
took place at the Methodist church at eleven

press train from Stamford for New York,
on route for Niagara Falls, and returned on
Saturday.
Thursday night. 16th, burglars effected an
entrance into the house occupied by Mr. J.
C. Miller, near the Red Mill, and succeeded
fin stealing a suit of clothes and several other
articles, but were frightened away before
they had accomplished their object, by some
thing falling from a bureau.
Land owners are notified that by a by-law
passed at the last annual Town Meeting,they

neglect thereof.

About 200 interments have been made in
Christ church cemetery since it was opened
to the public twenty-seven years ago—an
average of not far from seven per year. At
this rate, allowing 6 feet by 2 for each per~
. son buried, 1,048 years more will be required
to fill the cemetery, which covers a little
over two acres of ground. _ ~
Five marriages all among the young peo—
ple here, by which ten persons are supposed
to have been made supremely happy, is the
score which Westport placed upon her social
record last week. ~ At this rate there will be,
ere long, no good looking boys and girls left
to offer at the shrine of cupid. .
The decision of Mr. Frank Raymond to
build a dwelling on the depot road inspires
the hope that others will follow his example.
At present, there being no house between
J. MottAllen’s and the fOrk of the road near
‘Mrs. Denmead’s, ' persons walking there by
night find it very lonely, if it is not absolute-
lv dangerous. and the prospect of “a light in
the- window” here and there along the line
will tend to encourage those who sometimes
pass to and from the village.
There are in W estport at the present time
82 persons over 70 years of age, 21 over 80,
and 2 over 90. In addition, there are some
200 persons over 60—305 in all. or abbut 8
per cent. in a population of 3,500. This
exhibit shows a decided tendency to lon-
gevity among us, and is an argument in
favor of the town as a healthy place of resi-
dence. ,
. The scare whichthe new tramp law caused
seems to have subsided, and traveling va-
grants are putting in an appearance again.
They manifest ltttle .if any fear of arrest
and move from door to door asking “please
gim’me sutliing to eat,” as of yore. The
new law has had one good effect at least, in
teaching tramps to throw away impudence-
and embrace a degree of courtesy. * .
Aday or two ago, a citizen, in anticipa-
tion of Thanksgiving dinners asked a farmers
wife how high her turkeys would roost this
year, alluding to market prices, and got for
an answer: “Very high, sir! on the top.
most branches when you are in sight.” '
The marriage of Mr. Peter R. Foote, and
Miss Emma V. Wood, solem‘nizcd Wednes-
day, at the residence of the bride’s father
by Rev. A. N. Lewis was one of those
quiet events indicative ofa sensible determ-
ination on the part of‘the contracting par-
ties to begin life right. By invitation of
the hosts and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. William
Wood, a company of friends assembled at
the family mansion, who, by the spirit of
their words and actions throughout after-
noon and evening made it evident that there
can be reality and meaning in the act of re—
joicing when others rejoice. 'The newly
married pair received graciously and were
“at home" as entertainers in the strict sense
of that term. The joy which every guest
manifested and the enjoyment which fell
to the lot of each, made it apparent that Mr.
and Mrs. Wood had not put new wine into
old bottles, but had conserved the best for
this, a special occasion in their family.
During the evening, members of “Vigilant”
Engine company of which Mr. Footeisa
member called and paid their respects, and
with the aid of “Uncle” and his traditional
fiddle, there was abundant mirth, and to
com a phrase, the tones of Mr and Mrs.
Foote’s marriage bell rangout gaily till the
close of the pleasantest and most auspicous
day in their lives.
Rev. J. M. Potter. M. D., of New York,

The executive committee of “The West-
port Musical and Dramatic Company,” which
is the new name for our amateur Pinafore
company, at a meeting Friday, reported
progress in the work instructed to them,
viz: the hiring of a room for rehearsals, a
piano forte and an accompanist, and
practice on the music of “Pinafore,” and
Sullivan’s “Trial by Jury" will at once be
begun.
Flurries of snow Friday, preparedsome
for the wondrous cold which followed, but
the possessers of some gardens who had
pickles to pickle but did’nt pick'em, found
to their dismay next morning that the pick——
lcs they had intended to pickle were in the
wrong kind of pickle. Jack Frost is one of
those chaps who, if you give him an ell will
take a yard.
There is a charm in retrospect especially
when the [narrator speaks from experience.
This was the case Friday, a blusteriug cold
day on‘board the good steamer Adelphi, on
her passage from New York to Norwalk,
Seated among boxes, bales and ropes, for-
ward, over the steamer’s boiler for the pur-
pose of. keeping warm, were Messrs. Wm.
E. Dikcman, A. L. W'inton, R. D. Cable
and the writer, yards were spun, and among
other things. Mr. D. while passing Riker’s
Island, took oCeasion to remark as to the
progress the boat was making towards port,
and of her splendid performances daily all
Summer. This speed, as compared with
the snail-like traveling of forty years ago,
reminded him of what sometimes happened
during the prosperous days when Captain
Williams ran the sioop Eveline and later
Captain John Carver the sloop Ibis between
Westport and New York; of their limited
* knowledge of navigation, their strict ad-
herence to the signs in the almanac, their
wantof courage, and their aptness to cast
anchor anywhere during a trip when wild
clouds and winds threatened, and he spoke
of’one incident when Captain Williams an-
chored near Riker’s to let a storm pass over,
and the late Nelson Adams, Burr Meekeer,
himself and two or three others went ashore
and spent an entire day’ pitching quoits. In
fact those ancient Captains, good old souls,
never scrupled to do the best things they
were capable of for the gratification ,of
patrons. Mr. D. musingly wondered what
Sort of figure manager‘Capt. Fred. Perkins
would out were he to allow the party al
luded to, lg stop the Adelphion account of
adverse Winds and permit them to engage
as in days gone by in that old‘game.

The Northwest has been heard from, and
the summer heat of a week ago has given
place to decidedly cool weather. Last Fri-

some mountain near the North pole, or some
other equally cool locality. As this occurred
on the 24th is it a sure sign that we are to
have nearly a month of snow storms?

WEST STRATFORD.
A meeting of the Republican town com
mittee was held on last Friday evening when
it was decided to call a caucus for Friday
evening next to nominate a candidate for
representative to the next general assembly,
and to transact any otherbusiness of im-
portance which may properly come before
said caucus. The candidate on the. demo—
cratic ticket will probably be Samuel Patter-
son of Old Stratford, and on the republican
side the candidate has been agreed upon, but
we do not fecl at liberty just yet to give his
name. Sufiice it to say, he can polip full
republican vote and that means victory in
Stratford. .
.In Bridgeport the republican caucus Will
be held on this (Tuesday) evening, and so
far as we can learn, the chances are good for
the election of their candidates. There is
plenty of good Republican timber in that
city, and no effort should be spared to put
the best men in nomination. We are in-
formed that Mr. Barnum declines to be a
candidate. We hope that he may be induced
to reconsider that decision, for with Barnum
as a candidate victory is' sure. Hon. Amos
S. Treat and Phineas T. Barnum would be
our choice. .
An accident resulting in the death of an
unknown man, occurred in this place on
Saturday afternoon last. A special freight
train on the Naugatuck Railroad arriving in
Bridgeport at about a quarter to five p. m.,
when just east of the Tap and Die shop in
this place, struck and killed a man who was
walking on the track. His death must have
been instantaneous as he was throwna dis-
tance of about twenty-five feet. A jury con-
sisting of the following named persons was
summoned and an inquest held. Charles
11. Porter, Sen., Joseph R. Lockwood,
George Bertine, Edward Dunla , Edward
Alling and Hiram Rice. Thegiry after
viewing the remains and hearing the testi—
mony rendered a verdict of “accidental
death.” Deceased wore dark pants, a drab
coat which had been of a dark blue color,
but was pretty well faded out. He also
wore a light checkered shirt and an over-
shirt or jacket of coarser material, and. a
high crowned silk hat. A search of his
clothing revealed sixty cents and a pair of
scissors, but nothing by which he could be
identified. He was about sixty-five years of
age, about five feet and nine inches tall and
well proportioned. The remains were taken
in charge by the town authorities and will be
buried at the expense of the town.
We have received a copy of the Graphic
containing illustrations of Norwalk and
South Norwalk which look very natural.
The writer of the article describing the
illustrations pays the GAZETTE a well de—
served compliment, but gets things a little
mixed when he speaks of Mr. Byington as
the Junior editor.
We have noticed several articles in the
Sentinel lately from its Rowayton corres—
pondent wlflch cast severe reflections upon
Vincent Colyer, Esq. We have also noticed
Mr. Raymond’s reply in the GAZETTE, and
think he has decidedly the best of the
argument, The writer of this thinks it will
be a long time before articles which are
written for spite or petty malice will injure
citizens. 'And if Mr. Raymond’s statement
is true (and we have no cause to doubt it)
the articles reflecting on Mr. Colyer are
penned in a spirit of petty malice and spite.
We have known Mr. Colyer by reputation
for a long time, possibly longer than the
Sentinel‘s correspondent has as we were born
in Dnricn and resided there for about twenty
years, and we do not think that Mr. ’Colyei
would encroach upon the rights of his fellow
citizens. When the Sentinel‘s correspondent
speaks of Mr. Raymond’s statements as a
“phillippic,” etc., he shows his weakness.
Why does he not answer Mr. Raymond‘s
statements ? W.
William Burrill of Stratford,who has been
partially demented from the effects of inju-
ries caused by a railroad accident nine years
ago, crawled to the roof of his dwelling and
fell to the ground dead. He was 79 years of
age.

A Well Known Lady,
Mrs. Jonnr. Brinkerhofi',of‘ HighlandJJlstcr 00..
N. Y., came to Dr. Kennedy, of Boundout, and
said to him :—“Doctor, I am aflhcted with a dis-
ease for which all the medicines I have tricdhave
proved worthless; and thus far none of the physi-
cians I have consulted have been .able materially
to assist me. I have applied now to you as a last
resort, believingif any man under God can help
me it must be yourself.” Dr. Kennedy, on ascer—
tainingthc precise character of Mrs.Brinkcrhoii’s
complaint, said frankly and at once: “Madame
you cannot be absolutely cured by any power at
present Within the resources of medical science.
I could apply) THE KNIFE, but the operation
would proba ly destroy your life.” Then on per-
ceivin the dcspondenoy into which his honest
words ad thrown the patient lady.tho doctor ad-
ded : “I cannot give you perfect liberty from your
disease, but I, can remove many of the distressing
syuiptomsoi your dilllcnlty; 1 can prolon your
life indefinitely and. render it comiortab e and
mostly free from pain. . This I can do by means
of what I call my Favorite Remedy, which you
have only to take as directed.” The patientdigm-
encd of her mental load, gratefully promised .to
obey the kind advice and went her way.
A short time smcc she sent the following mes-
sage by a friend who was going to Rouudout :
“Call on Dr. liednedy, and tcllhim I have used
.the Favorite licmedyms he directed, and that it
has done all, and even more than he promised.
it has afforded me so much relief. so much coni-
fort. that I would not. I cannot do without. Tell
him, too, that he is welcome to use my name. Yes
1 can, and I will recommend Dr_. Reunedy’s Fn~
voritc Remedy always as amulwmc su crior to
all others for the cure of those comp aints to
whlchpur sex are so liable. My word for it, the
medicine can do all that the doctor claims for it.”

Good Goods are the cheapest.
Cheap goods (as a rule) are not
‘ cheap. , -
We have a large stack of good Shoes

‘4 faction everytime. , '
We can’t sell (as some advertise) “re—
‘ gardless of cost,” or even at a “small
. advance,” for we must make the profits
‘- on our business pay our lawful expens—
; es, if we can’t, we had better do some—
» thing else for a living. But this we do
’ do, buy close, for cash, and sell at
' fair commission a good article which

gradually increasing.
