Norwalk Gazette. Tuesday, December 9th, 1879. Fairfield County Items. * SILVER MINE. Friendly Greeting Division, S. of T. has been engaged five years or more, in carrying on the Temperance work in - this place. Every year has been a year of success. ‘ A few years ago Friendship Division, of New Canaan, commenced a Temperance work in this place, and the result was the -instituting of Friendly Greeting Division. The members, ladies and gentlemen, entered earnestly into the work of the Division. A small room in a dwelling house was their first Division room. Their success has been so great that even so far away as Winnipauk people have sought innitiation into the society. . The membership increased so rapidly that they soon-outgrew every available room and so a hall had to be built for them. This was provided for them by Mr. Hyatt, who erected a building for that purpose. And now, through the Divisions need and Mr. Hyatt’s liberality Silver Mine has a hall well suited for public purposes. This building is not the only benefit Silver Mine has derived from this Temperapce work. Whenever Friendly Greeting Divi— sion S. of T., is spoken of there is honor given to Silver Mine. And why P Because the people of Silver Mine not only gave the Division their confidence, but when they beheld the good that was being done through its work they came forward and united with the Division. . Whole families come into the membership, and thus 'the Division has hecomcagrcat power for good. An evening visit to Friend-. 1y Greeting Division is sure to be an enjoy— able and profitable one. You find a warm welcome from the best people of the neigh— borhood. " So it was on Thursday evening last, when the neighboring Divisions of Norwalk, New Canaan and Wilton attended the fifth anni— versary of Friendly Greeting Division. Con- cord brought the G. W. P., G. S , G. Chap— lain, and D. D. Friendship brought Edwin Hoyt and forty more. Wilton brou ht many members and its poet Knapp. hen all came in, the hall was full to overflowing. G. . W. P. Lincoln, of New Haven, presided. P. G. W. P. Ells, G. S. Mrs. F. L. Grumman, of New Haven, a lady greatly esteemed in the Order, G. Chaplain Youngs and District Deputy Wildman, of Danbury, were given seats of honor. After initiating two new members the time Was devoted to hearing short speeches from as many persons as possible. Many interest - ing speeches were made upon many interest,— ing subjects. live issues of the day. The tenor of the meeting was a religious one for the Eons of Temperance are, as they claim to be, auxiliary to the churches. Mr. and Mrs. Holly sang a duet which was received with much favor. Mrs. Henry Kel- logg, in a reply to a call,‘fairly carried the house away with the heartiest applause of the evening. Other ladies also took part, for in this Order, ladies and gentlemen are on an equality. And yet the ladies do not forget that they have their side of the house to look after,for they furnished a bountiful supply of excel- lent cake with candy for the refreshment of those present. The meeting closed at half past eleven and all retired delighted with the evening’s pleas- ures. Silver Mine, alwaysa beautiful place and full of good people, is a better place than ever because of this society. - ROWAYTON. _ Theflharles Hubbs case came up for trial before Judge Shipman in the U. S. Court at Hartford, last Tuesday morning. Mr. Hubbs plead guilty and the Judge, after listening to a favorable statement of the case from a neighbor of Mr. Hubbs, in consideration of the many mitigating circumstances sentenced him to the shortest time allowed by law,viz., one year in any prison in the State which the - prisoner might select. He preferred Hart— ford, and, after a very ‘aflecting interview with his mother and wife, he was conducted to the jail in that city. The oyster men hereabouts find some difii- culty in handling their oysters at the cars on the new side track in the winter. The freight train leaves about seven o’clock in the mom— ing, and the freighters prefer to bring their bivalves, packed in 'barreis for shipment to Europe, over night. If left in the cars in very cold weather the oysters freeze. The dealers say if they could store their goods over night in the depot this would be avoid— ed as there is a stove in the passenger end of the depot. To make this practicable, the new track will have to be extended further east past the south side of the depot, where all the passengers have to cross in order to gain access to the station. Those who ride in ve- hicies- fear that this proposed extension of the track will seriously interfere with their con— venience by compelling them to either to risk having the wheels of their wagon wrenched ‘ 011‘ by the tracks Or else to unload at some distance from the platform of the station, which in rainy weather would be an annoy— ance. It doubtless will be arranged satisfac- torily to all concerned. STAMFORD. A Stamford doctor’s horse plunged into a mill pond the other day, and the water not being deep enough to require the animal to swim, for three-quarters of an hour it floun; dered about, kicking and splashing in all di— rections, till finally a boat was brought to the scene. The horse evidently understanding the purpose of a boat made a deliberate at- tempt to get into it, but the men kept him off till they had succeeded in detaching him from the buggy. As soon as extricated, he proceeded to save himself by boarding the buggy, and in his efforts to get into it com— pletely demohshed it. Seen a rope was placed about the animal’s neck; and he was hauled ashore, greatly injured by the exploit. Rolin Sanford, an extensive mhnufacturer of dye stuffs, at Stamford, died at his resi- dence in New York, recently, aged 73. He was born in Vermont and educated for law in William H. Seward’s ofilce,but abandoned the profession forty years age for a business life. Frank N. Hawley, now on the Pacific slope, will visit the Sandwich Islands before returning. - Miss E.

James Burns, aged about 50, was found dead in a lane” near Ives street. Nov. 29th. In one hand was clutched two $1.00 bills,and there was a watch in his pocket. Cause of death not known. , Geo. Cornwall, a native of Danbury, died at Elke, Nevada, last month.

Sunday’s temperature was like that of June. So mildwas it that people could not resist the temptation to sit on vcrandas and indulge in walks. To do these things onihc 7th of December attired in garments fitted for early June, is a matter so out of the usual line, that the wisest ask themselves if the seasons is really changing. The time has' been when the Saugatuck river was frozen over as early in December as the present. It is expected Mr. A. H. TenBrock will arrive here Thursday to take charge of the reconstructed Pinafore Company, which has for its object the immediate reproduction of Sullivan’s favorite opera. Judge E. J. Taylor was thrown from his‘ carriage near the house of Captain Charles Fairchild, Tuesday, and sustained slight in- juries. In the suit of the State as Owen O’Brien, charged with setting fire to his dwelling be- fore Justice Relyea, Monday Dec. 1st, de- fendant was bound over to the Superior Court for trial. He gave bonds in the sum of $400, Frederick Morehouse becoming his security. Whether the suggestion made in this col- umn last week, is old as hinted by the West- porter, or not, it is plain, judging by the narrow escape from destruction that the vil- lage had at the time of the fire in J. W. Taylor’s heirs store, that immediate steps should be taken to secure a better supply of water for the engines than now exists. A long and narrow tank of wood could be constructed at the front of the wharf,east side, where vessels ‘now land It could be covered with heavy timbers and planks, and would in no wise be a hindrance to the load- ing or unloading of vessels. The veteran lumber dgaler, Mr. H. Staples, has just received a large addition to his al— ready extensive stock. In the exercise of rare business sagacily he evidently foresees the need of keeping pace with the demands of the times, which teaches that competition is the life of trade, and that while Norwalk men may supply Westport, Westport can induce Norwalk to pass over the diyiding line and find something to her advantage here. It is evident that, but for the exis- tence of Staples’ lumber yards, from sixty to seventy buildings would 'not have been put up here during the past three, years. It is reported that two persons standing in the street opposite the home of Mr. Ed— ward H. Nash, Friday evening, engaged in conversation, something like the following : A "Is that house haunted i" pointing to the aforesaid residence. B “No,” was the reply, “but why do you ask such a question 2" . A “Because I have seen within the past fifteen minutes no less than thirty persons in flowing white robes, with white turbans on their heads, lheir faces concealed by masks, pass into the front door. They acted like human beings, but there Was nothing to indi— cate their sex, whether male or female. They uttered no words as do people who are in the flesh, and their movements were stealthy and noiselessly suggestive of hobgob- lins and inhabitants of some other sphere than ours.” B “I think you must be mistaken for as long as I can remember the house has been occupied by men and women, and during the hundreds of times I have visited the house I never saw anything mysterious or tending to even hint the existence of suchacoudition as you speak of." ~ A “Well, whether you believe it or not, I have seen these stange beings enter the house which, as you see, is lighted in every part, and I have discerned through several of the windows what ' looked like ghosts flitting about, after the manner described by Shaka- peare in his play of Macbeth. It will take a good deal to convince me that that house is not haunted: However, let us draw nearer thereto. By chance some one of these strange forms will find its way out at the chimney top, down the roof to the earth, and from it we can better judge as to the correctness of my theory.” . . B “Ver_y_~.well,let us do so,but I am morally sure you will have cause to retract your‘state- ment, for I know Mr. E. H. Nash to be not only in the flesh, but one of the most solid men in Westport.” A “I had thought so too, but when one sees with his own eyes as I have, the evi. .dence of ghosts, though he be at heart a non- believer in the supernatural, how can one en— tertain an opinion different from that I have expressed.”. So these men strolled down to the front gate and waited, looked and guessed. Sounds Of music mingled with tones whichthey fan- cied came from the infernlil regions manifest- ed themselves.‘ They ‘wcre loud and soft, high and low, long and short, all at the same time, and a5 these men listened they fancied they smelled sulphur, such as is supposed to have come from Macbeth’s cauldrOn. Then there was silence which continued some min- utes, and B began to tremble as if in ac- knowledgement of the truth of A’s claim. Suddenly there ,burst forth sounds as of many voices wrangling and disputing, and there went pp other sounds of suppressed laughter and shouts, one voice loud enough to have proceeded from the lungs of‘ Belial, cxciaiming, “Gentlemen, take partners .for Virginia Reel.” This command animated the inmates who began running-about and Stamping upon the floors causing a noise and hubbub equal to the capacity of many grist mills in operation at one time. Music trim the piano by some one who knew how to play, was heard, and the entire crowd were evidently having a glorious time. Aftera while one 'of the strange beings, which proved to be a man with a real mustache and white cravat, came out of the building as if to get a breath of fresh air, and front him these infatuated men learned that Friday was the 17th birthday of Miss Adelaide Nash, Mr. Nash’s eldest daughter,and that in honor of the event some forty young ladies and gentlemen had been invited to take part in what- is termed a “Sheet and pillow case party”-—a sort of masquerade, white sheets and pillow cases being the disguise" adopted, and which had serVed to deceive A and make a lasting impression on B, and not till the supposed spirit had taken the'piliow case and mask from his head and lighted a cigar, . would our two hero’s accept the real situa~ V 1 tion. Within the house indescribable scenes were enated, particularly at the unmasking, when, -men 'who supposed they had been dancing with ladies and ladies with men, found, to their surprise, what effect a sys— tematic deception in costume had produced. After recognizing each other all round, more dancing in which the partners’kncw with whom they were whirling, took place, and there was entertainment at table also, which none will ever forget. Mr. Nash, in his 71st year, is said to have moved upon the 'floor with as muehglee as any of the guests of his daughter, for whom the members of her first social house party will retain pleasant and lasting memories, ' . Miss Bertha Wheeler, youngest daughter of Mr. E. S. Wheeler, of Saugateck, and Mr. John Hazleton, of New York, were married Wednesday, Rev. A. N. Lewis officiating, at the home of the bride’s parents. Many guests assembled in honor of the event. The bride's presents were numerous and elegant, and the wedding breakfast was a splendid termination to the aifair. The happy couple took an express train, which stopped at the depot for them by special arrangement, for their wedding trip. which embraces Philadel- phia and Washington. . PAUL. GREENWICH. Mr. A. E. Brush has resigned his position as organist of the Second Congregational Church._ Thursday night last week John Haggerty attacked William Donovan, a saloon keeper in Greenwich, drawing a knife across his throat, making a gash three inches long, but not dangerous. Haggerty, who had become frenzied with Donovan’s liquor, fled after the attack, and has not been captured. Captain Gilbert, of Bethel, has been nomi nated to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- nation of Quartermaster D. E. Marsh, Bridge- port. - BRIDGEPORT. During the last week there has been more hope for Bridgeport so far as her literary in. terests are concerned—-New Haven and Brook- lyii have flown to her relief. The former, in the person of Prof W. L. Kingsley, gave us two lectures, with stereopticon accompani- ment, upon Italian history. The first de- picted the character and career of Cavour, “the greatest European statesman of the cen- tury," as he denominates him. We were hoping that Bismarck wouldn’t hear of his making any such statement, for amagnificent man is capable of a magnificent jealousy. But Count Cavour’s history is one of great interest. It shows what may be accomplished take the place of despotism, and the land suddenly blossom over with abundance, and the seas grow white with sails, and a nation that had had no influence take its place among the powers that be, all through the wisely directed energies of one grand man. It was really Cavour who. from the numerous states compacted the United States of Italy of Victor Emanuel and of King Humbert. Prof. Kingsley’s second lecture gave us the strange, romantic, sometimes'thrilling history of Venice, that city of the sea. The Prof. reads from a manuscript rapidly and with a pleasant voice and manner. His lectures are admirably written, scholarly, graphic and historically correct. Any town that can se— cure his services as alecturer, is fortunate. He gives with us a course of four. But in addition to him, we had last week, on Tuesday cvening,one of Brooklyn’s greater lights, theimmortal Talmage. He spoke upon “The Bright side of things,” and illustrated his theme, not with the stcreopticon‘but with humorous stories and flashes of wit. The subject was a capital one for the renowned crater. It gave him an opportunity to set forth those genial views of life which so sen- sibly mould his creed and shape his preaching and color allvhis utterances. The lecture was entertaining and helpful. No doubt the reflection of it brightened many a home and many aheart; in some caseiwith a lustre that will remain. But it is only fair to say that Mr. Talmage’s manner of speaking is not agreeable. His voice, many times, re- sembles the gratingof a dull saw; his ges- tures though dramatic are awkward; and his face gets twisted into knots which one fears can never be untied. It may be, however, that all these things are an essential part of the man’s eccentricities, in which is the hiding of his power. It is not safe to crit- icize 'tOO severely one whose speaking evi- dently results in so much of good. A remarkable contribution to the literature of its kind' is “The Whitney Family of COni‘cticut” just issued in three immense quarto volumes, by Mr. S. W. Phoenix of New York. After 'a brief account of the Whitneys in England, it takes up Henry Whitney, born about 1620, and who emigra- ting to this country, is found first at South— old L. I. and then, in 1665 at Norwalk, agreeing with the town “to make, build, and erect” a good corn mill at the mouth of Norwalk river. His descendants to the eleventh generation are then treated of, dilinct mention being made of over 20,000 of them; dates of birth, marriage and death being given, as also many particulars res- pecting place of residence, occupation, mili~ tary record, literary work, and so forth. Norwalk seems to have been the great Whitney center, but the excellent blood has flowed forth into all of Fairfield County, and indeed, through the State and country. more ties binding Norwalk and Bridgeport together, than would appear to a casual observer. The index shows that while in these volumes Norwalk is mentioned 568 times, Bridgeport is mentioned 190 times. Strange surprises await a man who looks over a work like this that includes _his own name. He finds himself related to people whom perhaps he has known all his life, but never suspected that they were akin to him. Some of them are “so near yet so far i” It 'is barely possible that, in some cases, the surprise occasioned may not be an agreeable one! In other cases it will confer real satis- faction. By-thc-way, we notice that one of the editors of the GAZETTE and his'family flourish in these pretentious volumes, and we hereby reach out the hand of kinship! That accounts for it. We always did have a second cousinly feeling toward the GAZETTE and its proprietors! “Blood is thicker than water,” and even than ink. Hearty thanks ’0 due to Mr. Phoenix for bringing to view these hidden relationships. We should not be surprised now at any time, to havea person fall into our arms exclaiming, “It is, —it is my long lost kinsman i” We confess however, to a preference as to who shall do this!. , On Wednesday evening a fire occurred at Glover Sanford & Sens’ hat shop, flames being discovered in the boiler room and reaching into the drying room above. The fire department turned out and succeeded in extinguishing it before much damage was done. This shop is the successor of the one burned two or three years ago, when eleven men were crushed beneath a falling wall. The memory of that sad occurrence increased the excitement when another fire in the same locality was announced. A fully blown dandelion was picked the other day in an open field north of the horse railroad depot. How is this for the first of December? Is this flower 9. flake of the snow that the present winter is to furnish? If so, we know of an overcoat for sale and several other things for which the owner has no use. . . The Second Congregational church of this city announces a fair for next Thursday and Friday. Among the attractions there is to be an “Old Folks’ Concert” in which the performers will all be children, from six to nine years of age. ’ This is a novelty indeed, and it will doubtless create a sensation. The ladies of that church are to be com- mended for giving to the world a new idea. But we‘are presuming upon the size of the GAZETTE, and the patience of its Editors. - GAYLORD. WEST STRATFORD. At the annual Borough election, held on Monday last, the following named gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: Warden, George H. Zink, citizens and tax payers candidate‘; Burgesses,Albert M. Scott, Harvey Birdsey and John S. Fray, Republi~ cans; James Bounds, Wheeler Hawley and illiam S. Burr, Democrats; Clerk, Charles H.

Hall, rep., Fred V. B. Begart, dem. A short_time before the elec— tion the Democrats nominated Edward E. Price for‘VVarden,and made strenuous efforts for his election, but despite their efforts Mr. Zink was elected by majority of thirty. The Republicans made no regular nominations biit supported most of the taxpayer’s ticket which included the three Republican Bur— gesses elected, also Messrs. Zink, Hinman, Drew and Bertine. Most of the officers elected are new men, and with a few excep- tions will not let partizan bias warp their judgment. Of the retiring Borough officers is only remains tobe said that they have been faithful to their duty and retire with the well earned plaudits of the people of this place. We never had a more faithful Warden than Robert T. Jennings, ciectcdas a Greenbacker yet he has administered his ofllce in the in— terest of the whole people, who join with one accord in saying “Well" done good and faithful servants.” L. B. Vaiil, W.

The Clerk was authorized to contract with the lowest bidder for printing 300 copies of the annual Borough Reports. A petition was presented, signed by numerous rcsidents,requcsting that Chapel street be properly graded and the obstruc- tions on said street removed. The Court then resolved itself into a committee of the whole to estimate the benefits and damages accruing from the Sherman street sewer, for which purpose they met on Saturday after- noon last. The nbxt meeting will be held to—morrow evening. ' On Friday morning last, the wife of Capt. William Dennis, formerly of East Norwalk but lately a resident of Stratford, was found dead in her bed.
