‘WEST NORWALK.
On Wednesday morning, Nov. 26th, at
half past one o'clock, man inhabitants of
this place were awakened arfi alarmed by a
loud explosion, which upon investigation,
proved‘to proceed from the store of George
Dugdale. " Before even those who lived
within a few feet could reach the building it
was too late to save a single article as the
flames were bursting out in all directions.
The heat was so intense that a wagon top and
other articles standing near had to be sacri—
ficed. ’ The first report was followed by two
others supposed to have been a pistol which
had been left loaded and a can of powder.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. D.
was insured for eight hundred dollars on
stock and fixtures. Mr. G. Fillow had a pol-
. icy of six hundred on the building. Mr. D's
account books were lost, about twelve dol—
lars in money and a quantity of poultry be-
longing to Samuel Dugdale and valued by
him at twenty dollars. The night was calm;
had it been otherwise dwellings near would
have been greatly endangered. Unexplained
night fires are getting to be unpleasantly fre—
quent in this locality and it would seem to
be wisdom on the part of property holders to
insure their buildings for as much as com-
panies would be likely to pay in case of fires.
Thanksgiving was observed here by many
family gatherings each and all seemed to feel
' the influence of the pleasant day and beauti
ful evening. '
Mr. F. Keyser is improving the looks of
his always neat place by having a new picket
fence built. ' .
IRev. Mr. BradfOrd addressed 'a well filled
house on Sunday last on the instability and
unecrtainity of everything earthly, and ex-
horted his hearers to set their affections on
the enduring and sure treasures above. He
came here one week in advance of the time
appointed on account of the reopening of his
church in Darien which has been repaired
and greatly improved.
Rev. Mr. Taylor is expected to be ‘here on
the coming Sabbath. * ’
DARIEN. .
There was a pleasant wedding at the Epis
copal church last Wednesday evening. Mr.
C. R. Quintard and Miss Effie Johnston were
joined in marriage by Rev. Mr. French.
-The church was full.
There was a union religious service at 4he
Methodist church. Mr. Bradford preached
a masterly sermon. It was sound in principle,
logical and eloquent and forcibly and effect—
ively delived. Many expressed a‘wish to see
it in print. It was fully up with the age and
cOvered the great questions of the times.
For about three months the Congregational
church has been under the control of brick
layers, plasterers, carpenters, organ builders,
and fresco painters, but by the close of this
week they will leave it tastefully finished, to
be occupied again by the worshippers of Al—
mighty God.
Appropriate services will be held on Sun-
day, December 7th, at quarter past two
o’clock in the afternoon. to which all the r
neighboring churches and the public have
been invited. A sermon by Rev. Dr. H. M.
Storrs and other exercises of an interesting
character are expected. Mr. Alex. Gibson
has been invited to preside at the organ.
The funeral of Mrs. Samuel Gorham took
place on Monday,17th inst,Rev.Louis French
conducted the services. .
The “Helping Hands" of the .Cong'rega—
tional Church, gave an entertainment and
oyster supper at the Town Hall, Thursday
evening last.
As announced, Rev. Lindsey Parker de-
livered a lecture in the M. E. Church on
Thursday evening. On account of the weath-
er many were disappointed in not being able
to attend. Those present expressed them;
selves as greatly pleased with the lecture.
Mr. Parker’s descriptions were very interest-
ing, and his witty remarks and anecdotes
kept the audience convulsed with laughter.
WILTON.
Thanksgiving came and brought with it
many of Wilton's loyal sons and daughters
to join in the pleasant family reunions at the
“old home” thus forging another link in the
golden chain which binds them to our dear
old town. ,
Launcelot Gambrill Esq., and family have
gone to Baltimore, where they will spend the
winter. . ’
Mr. George W. Ogden has gone to New
Milford to engage in teaching. His numer-
ous friends trust he may beas successful
in imparting knowledge as he has been in
acquiring it. .
The young people of Wilton have a just
reason to be proud of their’ramatic Enter-
tainment on Thanksgiving evening. Long
before the hour for commencing the lecture
room was crowded with a select audience
representing the best elements of our society.
The entertainment began with instrumental
music by Messrs. S. P. Fitch and H. C.
J elliffe with bass veil and violin, and Frank
Comatock at the organ. Miss Anna M.
Gregory followed with a solo “Beside the
Sweet Shannon” which was‘ warmly ap—
plauded. The farce “To Oblige Benson”-
came next. Mr. Washington Post made his
first appearance for the evening in this piece
and was warmly greeted by his friends.
"Mr. Meredith" took his' challenge very
cooly, and Miss-Minnie Lockwood by her
animated and correct acting contributed
much to the interest of the piece. Miss
Anna M. Gregory again delighted the audi-
once by singing “Bessie the Maid of Dun-
dee.”' The first tableau was “On the Fence"
by Miss J immerson and Messrs; Keeler and
Ogden. “Pretty Red Rose” a duett by Mr.
H. C. Jelllffe and Miss Whitney followed.
T'Corning to the Parson” was the next
tableau in which Mr. G. A.’ Ogden and Miss
Lillie Olmstead represented the (towers and
Dr. Huntington the pawl. Miss Jimmer-
son then sang a solo the “Old Wooden
Rocker" with Mr. J elliffe and Miss Gregory
as a chorus. Dr. Huntington then gave a
reading or more correctly a very clever reel-'-
tation doing ample justice both to the droll
and pathetic parts. A tableau “Taking the
vail,’ followed in which Dr. Gorbam pre-
sented a very priestly appearance, and Miss
Emma Whitney meekly yielded her raven
locks to the sacrificial shears. Messrs.
Fitch, Comstock,'and Jelliffe followed with
some excellent instrumental music. Miss
Jimmerson again favored the audience by,_
singing {a solo “Lonely.” The concluding
piece was “Ice on pare Francais."
Mr. H. C. Jellifle as the young Frenchman
showed his strength as a dialect specialist.
Mr. Post as “Spriggins” fully sustained his
enviable reputation; Will Whitney was ex-
cellent in his part, and Miss Hattie Fitch as
“Ann Maria" made a pleasing impression by
sprightliness as the indignant and over-
worked maid of all work. The entertain—
ment passed off' pleasantly, and all did well-
considering the short time allowed to per-
fect arrangements. The receipts were sat—
isfactory and will be judiciously dpplied
towards a worthy charitable object. .
Rowdyism and drunkenness seems to have
broken loose last week.
The meeting of the Mission Band willbe
held on Eriday exening next, at the house
of Mrs. Augustus W. Merwin. '
Wm. Tom
DANBURY.‘
W. A. White, of the New, fell on the
stairway at that office, and hurt his recently
broken wrist. He fainted several times and
suffered much pain.
The new round house for the Danbury
Railroad is completed. It has six stalls for
the iron horses.
The Danbury National Bank has declared
a five per cent. dividendpayable now.
The News says that Danbury has been
measured for a map.
Fred. DeKlyn was presented with a hand-
some gold watch, by his father, as a reward
of merit for scoring twenty~one years of age,
WESTPORT.
. Miss Florence Conrow has left town for
California. The young ladies and gentlemen
of Westport will remember her not only for
pleasant social traits of character, but for the
quality of condescensioa which she possess—
cd—playing Pinafcre accompaniments when
called, ' for instance.
Star gazers who sat up late Thanksgiving
(night in response to Professor Proctor‘s pre—
diction in regard to a shower of meteors, had
their trouble for their pains, not even the
slightest indication of shooting stars appear—
ed. It begins to look in this matter as though
science and guesswork were on a par.
ThanksgiVing day was observed, as it al-
ways is and always will be, whether there be
9. President’s or Governor’s proclamation or
not, after the old-time style, which means
solid dinners and social intercourse with vis—
iting friends who come among us once a year
to renew their youth and refresh their memo-
ries. Good Sermons and music in the
churches and fine weather aided all hands to
enjoy the day to the full. ‘
Mr. Charles Kempcr (Ralph) has accepted
an invitation to sing in Christ Church choir
during Christmastide. A programme of fine
musical selections is in preparation.
The schooner Francis Burritt,reported last
week as abandoned at sea, was built at
Saugatuck some twenty-five years ago, by
Mr. Parkis. Her model was considered
among the best. She was a fast sailer but
never proved a profitable vessel.
In the death of MrsaMaria Furman at her
residence on ompo street, Monday, Nov.
24th, in the 77th year of her‘ age, Westport
society loses a member noted for benevolence
and steadfastness of character. She was one
of Nature’s noble women,—-one, whose exam-
ple for nearly twenty years had served as a
pattern even for those with whom she was
not intimately associated. At the funeral,
Wednesday, Rev. Mr. Relyea, of Grecns’
Farms, and Rev. Mr. Lewis, of Memorial
church, officiated, '_ many friends being in
attendance. The remains were taken to
Cypress Hill cemetery for burial.
Burr Goodsell, who was fined by Justice
Finch for drunkenness, one day last week,
surprised the court by declaring that he pre-
ferred "boarding out" his fine to paying
cash. He is now cultivating intimate rela-
tions with the jailor, at Bridgeport.
The upper part of the store belonging to
the estate of the late John Warren Taylor,
was burned out early Thursday morning.
Insured in full. Pioneer Hook and Ladder
Company’s boys in white neck ties, were
engaged at the time the fire broke out in a
social dance at Sturges’ Hall, but they
responded to:the first alarm, and with Cempo
and Vigilant boys promptly prevented a
great conflagration. The stock and fixtures
of Mr. McNeil, the baker who occupied the
lower story of the building, was much dam-
aged by water. He had no insurance, it is,
said. There seems to be no evidence proving
the fire to have been of incendiary origin,
although the discovery of the fire by deputy
sheriff Burns in an upper room which had
been kept locked ever since Mr. Taylor died,
looks a little mysterious.
Pioneer H. & L. Company’s Ball on
Wednesday night was a success. The boys
assembled with their sweethearts at the hall
with the assurance that they were to have an
uninterrupted season of enjoyment. The
cry of fire taught them how great was their
mistake. Their motto being “business before
pleasure," they promptly took to "der .mer-
chine" at the first call, put the fire out and_
then went on with the dance as if nothing
had happened. Property owners, in whose
interests they labor, appreciate this.
The extreme cold has given the boys a fair
chance to test the qualities of their skates.
Thicker ice on the ponds will make parents
less likely to institute objections to the sport.
The funeral of- Mrs. H. B. Coley, who
died suddenly on Friday at the residence of
her sister. Mrs. John Gray, took place yes—
terday afternoon. ‘
The largest and probably the oldest elm
tree in Westport stands in the street fronting
the residence of Mrs. Brinkerhoff. The
trunk is 'nineteen feet three inches in cir-
cumference by measurement with a tape line,
audits branches extend a distance of 102
feet.
A practical gentleman of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
in view of the scarcity of water to put out
fires,especially when the tide is low, suggests
that a tank be erected in the river near the
wharf above where any vessels are now
meored. The flow of the tide would keep
the tank filled, and its capacity should be
large enough for any emergency. '

Our annual borough election took place
yesterday, but we do not as yet know the
result. It is safe to assume however that
George H. Zink is elected Warden, George
Bentine Collector, Charles H. Hinman

The funeral of the late William Griffith
was largely attended from the residence of
his? son-in-law, William Jennings on Friday
last. Mr. Griffith was one of our oldest
inhabitants, being 88 years of age.
On Tuesday last Thomas Hayes of this
place butchered two hogs which when

Gratz Brown. .on Liquor Selling.
Err-Governor Brown, of Missouri, has been
a strong drinker in his time, but he has re—
formcd, and is doing valuable service for the
temperance cause with his voice and pen.
At a late temperance meeting at St Louis, he
urged the importance of suppressing liquor
selling by law as follows: ,
Having in the done some effective
service in making isssouri a free state, I
say now, after the most mature considera—
tion of the question weighing carefully the
words I utter, I say‘we can make Missouri
a sober state peaceably if we can—by legis-
lative and forcible measures, if we must. In
fact, there is no other way to suppress the
liquor traffic but by law. This is what the
state is for. There is its essential function,
We suppress thieves by law, we suppress
murder by law, and we can and musgup-
press liquor selling by law.

BRIDGEPORT.
What, by the way,became of the pot who
in the olden time was accustomed to write
the Carriers Ncwii'car address ? The world
should have heard of him by this time!
The tilcnt that flamed out in that annual
production was something amazing? We
remember a copy of the poetic effusion,
printed in red ink and ornamented with
sundry and innumerable flourishes, that
hung once upon a time on the inside of a
certain cellar door! No one 'could go for
apples or older without taking in a snatch» of
of its rythm and so tripping down the stairs
in time with its stirring measures! The
returning trip might not have been so safely
executed had a copy hung at the foot of the
stairs ! But that poet ! It is to be hoped
that he did not .throwfiashcs on the fire of
his genius and so conceal and ultimately cx—
tinguish it! Can it be that his glowing
soul finds vent in some of the anonymous
productions of the day ? Or is be waiting
for some such encouragement as’ this before
tuning his lyre anew and setting its strings
athrill with old harmonics ? We pause for a
refrain. .
Our Board of Ecucation is more in need 0“
a mathematician than of a poet. It has is-
sued an address.to the people of the town
stating that our school accommodations are
not sufiiciently ample, and that in the near
future there pill be serious difficulty unless
largely extended provision be made for the
rapidly increasing attendance. The prob-
lem now in some portions of the town, is
how to accommodate ten, where is room for
only nine. We are modest about volun-
teering a solution, but how would it do for
number ten to sit in the laps of number,
nine ? The situation might be varied, to re-
lieve monotony, and so nine or more laps be
made in the course of the day.
A fire of considerable importance occurred
in our city, last Tuesday night. The build-
ing on Water street, occupied by A. L. Win-
ton as a flour and feed store, awas almost
entirely destroyed as was the market adjoin-
ing. It was pitiable to see the great quantity
of Indian meal and buckwheat flour so sum-
marily made into pancakes and burned to
a crisp. The property was fairly insured.
Thanksgiving passed off quietly, but with
an immense amount of rational enjoyment.
Happy families gathered about well-spread
tables; the fire-light and the love-light illu—
mined countless homes; even the tears of
grief for those who had left a vacant chair,
.were touched with sunshine from the better
land, and the sorrow of bereavement passed 4
insensibly into the glad hope of reunion. In
addition to services held in the Catholic and
the Episcopal churches, union services were
conducted at the First Baptist Church and
at the Park Street Congregational, and were
participated in by a large number of people.
The sermons were by Reverends M. H. Pog-
son and C. -G. Davenport. The former spoke
from 1st Samuel vii, 12, “Hitherto bath the
Lord helped us." The topic was “Common
blessings and how to show our gatitude for
them." The sermon was able and impres—
sive. Mr. Davenport’s text was the 15th
verse of the cxviii Psalm, “The voice of re—
joicing and salvation is in the tabernaclcs of
the righteous.” The theme was the influ-
ence of the happy Christian home., The at-
tendance upon our Thanksgiving services is
increasing year by year. >
The Rosedale made a Thanksgiving trip to
New York, taking quite a large company
and giving them six hours for sight-seeing in
the city. Whether or not the passengers
were treated to .turkey on the way, we‘ have
not been informed. .
At least one Bridgeport couple launched
out, on Thursday last, upon the sea of mat-
rimony. May they find the waters placid
and the current setting gently toward “the
shining shore. " GAYLORD.
A staging on the new Housatonic round-
house gave way precipitating several masons
to the ground, some twelve feet. John

Officer John Crowley is going to Florida
for the benefit of his health.
There was a large fire on Water street,
foot .of Wall, Tuesday night. A building.
occupied by A. L. Winton, and another
occupied by Edward Banks were destroyed.
Loss about $10,000.
W. H. Chamberlain has sold his residence

ded and other alterations are to be made, all
of which will cost $600 or $700.
, Union services will be held at the First
Baptist Church on Thanksgiving day, when
Rev. Mr. Pogson will preach the sermon.

One of the most brilliant parties which
has ever been given in Hartford was the re-
ception given lately by Mrs. Samuel Colt, at
her residence on Wethersfield avenue on the
occasion of the twenty-first birthday anni—
versary of,her son, Mr. Caldwell H. .Colt,
the only heir to Colonel Colt’s large property,
who has just attained his majority.
The house was beautifully decorated with
flowers, each room different from every
other and each the rival of the other in the
beauty of its decoration. Over the entrance
to the reception room was a large “21” in
red roses on a background of white, and
there were many other noticeable single
pieces of floral work.
An interesting feature of the evening was
a set of young ladies and gentlemen, with
powdered hair and in costume who came
down the stairs arm in arm in procession,
singing the Nursery Rhymes from Mother
Goose, and afterwards fdrmed and danced
double quadrilles to the same pleasant music
of their own voices. The young ladies were
dressed in white and the young gentlemen
wore black dress coats faced with red or blue
silk and buttons to correspond.

The Consolidated road is now following
the example of other large lines in signaling
a train to stop when another train occupies
the .track, by a percussion cap. This is done
instead of sending a flag or light back. The
cap is made of tin, in size and shape like a
small box of shoe blacking, and when placed
upon the rails and run over by the forward
wheels of a locomotive explodes with a sound
like that of a small gun. It is more especi-
ally designed foruphdiy freight trains when
they are delayed in sfitching and using the
main line. “ ‘1

Letters from the Feople.
MnssnsEnrrons z—IS it not about time for
the press of the State to bring the'strongest
possible pressure of public opinion to bear
upon the trial of the Rev. Mr. Hayden, so
that this miserable farcgand heavy expendi—
ture of public money to convict and hang
an innocent man, (I say innocent, because I
have not the least doubt but that ninety out
of every one hundred people of the State
believe as I do,) may be stopped. The man
has suffered, no doubt, untold miseries,
,merely that certain lawyers may secure a
reputation for smartness that they do not
in regard to the arsenic, and say if you can,
that any portion of that ought to be allowed;
and then look at the marks said to be found
upon her check, the discrepancy between the
two diagrams, and then the remarks and ad-
missions of Mr. Waller upon his withdrawal
of that testimony, if that does not convince
any honest man that the State is trying to
hang Mr. Hayden out of testimony made
from whole cloth, then I am no judge.
If Mr. Hayden is banged by the testimony
of those experts, what man, woman or child
is safe in the future? If it can be proven
that they ever looked at any party who may
have committed suicide, or was found mur-
dered, it would be better in all cases to be
a rake yourself rather than borrow a rake
from a neighbor, or if you ever buy a
knife, examine it. with a microscope of 1,000
horse power, and cut everybody’s throat
you meet, to see if there may not be a
small piece of steel (so small, that 10,000,000
atoms, can be placed upon the one millionth
part of 1-20 of an inch, the accuracy of
which can be vouched for by our own
«resident engineers who might be competent
to compute the matter) that would fit into
a little niche in the blade, discovered by a
powerful microscope which should not
cost much less than $600. It is an outrage
upon public policy, conducted by the state,
and should be stopped by public opinion,
and could easily be stopped by the state
giving up the case,'on the ground that there
was not the least possible Chance of ever
convicting the man by any such ridiculous
testimony. '
If these experts must continue their educa-
tion, at the expense of the state, let the
state put up a costly building, and put into
it all of the most scientific instruments,
compositions, preparations, chemicals, &c.,
and then invite every one wishing to com~
mit suicide, to come. there and,do it, or
murder each other as best pleased them, and
then shut up these experts with them, with
instructions to go ahead with their education
at the state's expense. '
The state might object to this plan on
account of the efpcnse. I will admit it will
be costly on the start, but IthinkIcan
give yOu a plan that would enable them to
make money out of it in the end, viz:
when they have a few bodies cut up, let
them cut up an ox,a horse, a dog, ands
cat. and mix up with the other material;—
they could live upon what would beleft
after finishing their labors,‘as they have
ways of keeping them an indefinite length of
time, and then let the state setup a news-
paper, and publish the result of their labors,
and send news boys all over the world to
sell them at 3 cents a copy, of course every—
body would be delighted to buy such an
instructive paper, and the state would make
money. Innocent men would not have to
.suffer untold miseries, and those experts
could obtain all the notoriety desirable.

The liquor register, otherwise known as
the Moffet bell punch, has gone into opera-
tion in Texas, much to the disgust of the
dealers in alcoholic beverages. The dealers
have resolved to test the constitutionality of
the law in the courts, but they have, never-
theless, talfen advantage of it, both to raise
the price of drinks and to refuse credit for
them. The prohibitory sentiment, which is
very strong in parts of Texas, favors the
register, as tending to lessen the consump-
tion of intoxicating liquors.

A Well Known Lady, _
Mrs. John F. Brinkerhofi',of Highland,Ulstcr 00.,
N112, came to Dr. Kennedyrot Boundout, and
said to him :—“Doctor, I am afilicted with a dis-
ease for which all the medicines I have triedhave
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 an man under God can help
me it must be yourse f.” Dr. Ken ,on ascer-
taining‘the precise character of M , ‘ kerhofl’s
complaint, said frankly and at on :“Madamc

could applg THE KNIFE, but the operation
would proba ly destroy your tlfcfi. Then on per-
ceivrhg the dcspondeucy into which his honest
words had thrown the patient lad.y.the doctor ad-
ded : “I cannot. give you perfect liberty from your
disease. but I can remove many of the distressing
s mptomsuf your dimculty; I can proton your
life indefinltely and rendcrut comfortab e and
mostly free from pain. _ This I can do by means
of what Ieall my Favorite Remedy, wh oh. you
have only to take as directed.” The patientdight-
obey the kind advice and went her way.
A short time since she sent the following mes-
sage bya friend who was going to Roundout:
“Call on Dr. Kedncdy, and tell him I have used
the Favorite Remedy, as he directed, and that it
has done all, and even more than he promised.
It has afforded me so much relief. so much com-
fort. that I would not. I cannot do without. Tell
him, too, that he is welcome to use my name. Yes
I can, and I will recommend Dr, Hennedy’s Fa-
voritc Remedy always as a medicine su erior to
all others for the cure of those comp aints to
which our sex are so liable. My word for it, the
medicine can do all that the doctor claims for it.”

The following is recommended as a cure
for sleeplessness: “Wet half a. towel, apply
it to the back of the neck, pressrng it upward
toward the base of the brain, and fasten the
dry half of the towel over so as to prevent
the too rapid exhalation.- The effect is
rompt and charming, cooling the brain and
inducing calmer, sweeter sleep than any nar-
cotic. Warm water may be used, though
most persons prefer cold. To those suffering
from over—excitement of 1hc brain, whether
the result of brain-work or pressing anxrety,
this simple remedy is an especial boon." '

by the largest and best foundries in the
world, the owners of whichhave devoted
years to the businessand expended thou-
sands of dollars in perfecting and bring-
ing before the public the bestStoves made.
Such goods cost but littlemore, are decid—.
edly superior in operation, and in every
way much cheaper for use, besides they
will outwear two or three of the articles
