WILTON.
We understand the suit of the Town or.
Raymond has been taken to the court of
Common Pleas for further trial.
Preparations are being made at St. Mat-
thew’s church for an elaborate celebration of
the Christmas festivities.
Our Selectmen should gravel up the ap-
proaches to our bridges before the season
becomes too advanced.
Mr. Charles 11. Lyon, of North Wilton,
familiarly known as “ Ben” Lyon, after
living a life of single blessedness for hp—
wards of forty years recently took to himself
as a life partner one of Wilton’s fair daugh—
ters. Mr. Lyon returned from his bridal trip
week before last,and accordingly about forty
of his friends organized aserenade on the
evening of the third in honor of the event.
The principal musical instrument was a
“horse” violin With shot—gun accompania—
ment. The reportoire was performed in a
most animated manner, harmony being sac—
rificed for effect. A torpedo was prepared
for the occasion but failed 1:0 explodc,although
it is claimed that the groom, expecting an
explosion, sought refuge in the cellar. Mr.
Lyon finally appeared on the scene full of
wrath and indignation, and threatened the
Whole crowd with prosecution, thereby pros-
trating the fond hopes of his friends, who
trusted anppportunity would be afforded to
regale themselves with cider and to split
their months with huge slices of wedding
cake. The serenade was again repeated last
week with barren results to the serenaders.
Belden‘s Hill is again in a fomcnt. At
our annual town meeting the electors were
duly notified and warned to choose by ballot
certain town officers, and among them hay—
wards, of Which Mr. James Lynch was cho—
sen one. Mr. Lynch,likea patriotic American
as he is, promptly qualified himself to exec—
cise the functions of his oflice. One day last
week his argus eyes discovered the oxen of
Mr. T. M. Raymond loose upon the highway
and violating the statute in the case made
and provided; he thereupon seized upon the
said oxen and proceeded to impound them,
but Mr, Raymond and his hired man, by
force of arms and violence, worsted the oxc‘n
from his possession and returned them to the
proper enclosure. '
Attorney Hurlbutt, on account of good
behavior and meritorious conduct, has been
promoted to a new beaver. ‘
A merry party of young people surprised
Miss Katie L. lieeler on Friday evening.
A Fellowship meeting will be held in the
Wilton Congregational church on' Thursday
next.
Mr. A. W. Mcrwin is constantly increasing
the facilities at his mill, the latest addition
being an improved Eureka scourer for grain.
A coating of gravel has improved the
grounds adjoining the depot, and it would
have been better had the application been
more general. .
A South Wilton man was seen spading his
garden last week. '
The familiar saying “a castle in Spain” is
ikely to be supplanted, in America at least,
by the expression “our estates in Europe.”
lAccording to a writer in the World, there are
about eighteen estates in Europe representing
over $900,000,090 in value, which about
3,500 American heirs are struggling after.
It may be said that as a rule little money can.
be expected from foreign countries unless the
proofs of descent and relationship are unu—
sually clear, and even these are often liable
to be neutralized by the laws of the country
where the estate is situated. WILL TONN.
DARIEN.
The _rc—opening of the Congregational
church in Darien, Conn., is worthy of more
than a passing notice.
The panic of 1873, and the resulting pros.
tration of business; has borne very heavily
on this community, and afew members of
the Congregational Society'havc found it no
small undertaking to carry its temporal
'afiairs along with honor. This they have
done, to their credit be it. said.
Over a year ago, and before the least ap—
pearance of a revival of business, Rev. B. F.
Bradford came to Darien, as the :pastor of
this church, and last summer received a call
to settle over a neighboring congregation.
Although at first disposed to accept the call,
Mr. Bradford found his‘peoplc bound by so
'strong an attachment to himself, that it was
no easy matter to leave them, and to the
great satisfaction of the community at large,
no less than his parish, he concluded to
remain in Darien.
Immediately on hearing the gratifying
decision, the church began to do what they
could to make their pastor's continued resi-
dence among them pleasant, by instituting
much needed repairs on the church edifice.
One thing specially desired by Mr. Brad-
ford, and other pastors, no less than the
people, for many previous years, has been a
prayer and conference room.
The “Helping Hand” an organization of
young people, has raised in time past, various
sums of money for this. object. But as
necessity required, its officers have waived
the accomplishment of their plans, and
generously contributed the proceeds of their
efforts towards church expenses, still keep-
ing, however, the desired end in view. ,
For the proposed repairing, they were
ready to pledge the sum of $300, the more
as, in connection with other improvements
it was suggested to secure the needed con-
ference room under the church roof, by
transferring the organ from its place in the
gallery, to the recess in the rear of the pulpit,
and enclosing, with sliding doors from the
church audience room, the space thus left
available for the purpose of a lecture room,
The amount needed for the work was
estimated at $1,000. The subject was pre-
sented to the congregation one Sabbath
morning in August, after service, and to the
surprise of every one, the sum was subscribed
in a few moments of time. . _
Mr. Moses S. Mather, Deacon Albert II.
Scofield, and Mr. Thaddeus Bell, were ap
pointed to superintcnd the repairs. The
congregation are to be congratulated on this
choice, for a more competent, self-sacrificing,
faithful, lliltll‘lng. committze, it Would be
impossible to find.
'As the work progressed, it was found
necessary to do much more than at first
seemed to be required, and so the repairs
and renovation were far more complete and
substantial than the church had contem-
plated. .
Mr. D’Orsay, church architect, of New
York, drew the plans, and all the work was
done under his supervision.
During the three months in which the
church has been closed, .the congregation
were generously invited by the Methodist
Society to unite with them in the services of
the Sanctuary. and itris the opinion of all
that these union 'mectings have promoted
christian fellowship, and increased the in—
terest of the people in christian works.
The Congregationalists are under obliga—
tion to the people and pastor of the Metho-
dist church, Rev. Mr. Dusenbury, for their
hospitality, and courtesy in this matter, and
the most cordial and pleasant relations exist
between both societies.
The afternoon of Dec. 7th was appointed
for the reopening of the church. A very
large audience. was present on the occabion,
from the various churches of Darien, and
the neighboring towns of New Canaan.
Norwalk, and Stamford. Mr. Herbert
Beam, a former organist of the church, but
at present a student oerale College, presided
at the organ, and opened the exercises with a
voluntary. Two appropriate anthems were
sung by the choir.
Rev. Dr. H. M. Storrs, of Brooklyn, de—
livered a discourse on the subject “Christ
an all sufficient Saviour.”
After the sermon, the pastor made a few
remarks on the history of the church, allud-
Fairfield Cd‘ttnty I’tbms. .
ing tenderly to those pastors who had died
in its service, Rev. Moses Mather, the first
pastor, who ministered faithfully at its altar
in holy things for (64) sixty—four years, and
more recently Rev. J. E. Barnes, whose
blessed. memory will long be lovingly en-
shrined in the hearts of 1511038 present, as
well as Rev. Mr. Kihney and the other
pastors who at different times had here
labored abundantly for the church of God,
110 also made a statement to the effect.
that during the last fifteen years. this church
had raised to cancel a debt and expended in
various repairs and improvements, the sum
of nearly $6,000. occlusive of the present
outlay.
The building committee desired him to
add, that they had not been Able to do all the
work intended, and the additional work
needed, without expending $300 more than
was previously subscribed.
That the church he re-dedicated withoqt
debt, he would ask thatacollection might
then be taken up. This was done, and over
$200 contributed in the baskets.
The work performed on the church was as
follows :-—The old recess back of pulpit was
taken down, and a much larger one erected,
giving plenty of room for organ and choir.
organ gallery to the newly constructed recess.
The gallery formerly occupied by organ and
choir, was enclosed from the church by four
sliding doors, making a large room, arranged
with platform at one end and seating com—
fortably from 75 to 100 worshippers.
The new pulpit of tasteful design,plat-
form, communion table, chairs with uphols—
tery of crimson plush, and choir rail are of
handsomely carved ash of an exquisite grain,
trimmed with black walnut, and are in
effective contrast with the neat pews, which
shine as good as new in their coat of fresh
varnish. '
The new ceilings have been painted and
beautifully and elaborately frescoed in deli-
cate tints, and the chancel and aisles laid
with carpet of attractive shades and pattern.
Three light arbor lamps adorn each newe
of the ornamental choir rail.
Visitors from home and abroad who have
seen the improvements, join in expressing
not only delight at the wonderful transfor-
mation of the old church into a new one, but
surprised that so much could be accom-
plished at so comparatively small an ex-
penditure of money. ‘
- WESTPORT.
The petition asking the Selectmen to call
a special town meeting for the purpose of
considering the expediency of appropriating
asum of money sufficient to purchase 500
feet of rubber hose for the use of the fire
department, should receive the signature of
every good citizen. Of course by law the
selectmen can authorize the purchase with—
out formality of a town vote, but the object
being one in which all are interested, it is
considered best to proceed in the usual way.
One argument in favor of the appropriation
is. the narrow escape the village had recent-
ly from fire, and an equally forcible one is
the" fact glint the boys are using today the
very hose, made of leather which they
helped pay for more than twenty years ago.
This hose has burst, and been repaired in
so many places as to be almost useless on
extrorrlinary occasions, and not only that, it
is too short for good work as water generally
is taken from the river. The boys say good
rubber hose can be found in market for about
60 cents per foot,which being the case would
entail the payment of a moderate sum, and
would made an infinitely better investment
than some for which tax payers have been
recently made responsible. The protection
which the boys insure—the fact that they
are volunteers and the danger to_ which our
'village is exposed especially in winter, are
best arguments why the selectmen should
grant the favor asked.’
The first meeting of the Westport Chess
Club since the summer recess was held Wed-
nesday encning at the house of Mr. H. R.
Treadwell. After playing a few games by
which members memories of chess were re-
freshed, the financial condition of the club
was considered. Mr. Treadwell showed
documents from which it appeared that the
sum of $700 placed in the Westport Savings
Bank at 6 per cent, interest in 1869, had
‘inereaSed to about $14. ' It was informally
proposed to allow this money to go on ac—
cumulating for fifty years or so, or, until the
gross amount should reach $150, an.d then
if' the members are not check-mated in their
efforts to attain great age, to indulge in a
grand dinner. The next meeting of the club
will be held at Mr. Treadwell’s, Thursday
evening 18th.
When H. M. S. Pinat‘ore departed from
our shores loft fall, after several interesting
exhibitions of her sailing qualities, it was
with the tacit understanding that, her cruis-
ing in the interior of New York State under
the care and management of Mr. A. H. Ten
Broeck should be followed ‘by his speedy
return to this port. Our people willbe glad
to know, as per advertisement in another
column that, after a pleasant voyage the
good ship has again reached us, that the
jelly crew to a inan,including the women,
are on deck and in splendid condition, and
that after the usual overhauling she will be
thrown open for public inspection at Na—
tional Hall on the evenings of Friday and
Monday, Dec. 19th and 22nd, 1879. Her
commander has confidence in the qualifica—‘
tions of his crew and he names Mr. Taylor
Goodsell as “Sir Joseph Porter ;. Mr. Charles
Kemper as “Ralph Raekstraw"; Mr. Charles
Harris as “Dick Deadeye” ; Miss Elsie Lees
as “Josephine” Miss Alice Lees as “Butter-
cup”; Miss Sarah A. Meeker as “Hebe”;
and all the others equally important, form-
ing a band of home talmt well disciplined
and working together for the objects—the
pleasure of their audiences and their own
success.
. Mr. E. tM. Griffith having sold his grocery
business to Mr. Frank Fitch,of Poplar Plain,

Mr. Frank Raymond has raised the frame

Westport is to have a new baker, who, if
the right kind of a man, he will be well pat~
ronizlcd. _
Mrs. Ilenry Hopkins, of Saugatuck, left
on Friday for Charleston, South Carolina, to
visit a sister lying at the point of death.
Miss Dora Croft. of Bridgeport, passed
Sunday in town.
The village draw has been repaired. It
had been askew long enough to hinder horse
ears several days passing over.
To night (Tuesday,) the ladies of the M.
E. Church will give a festival for the benefit
of their church. Besides refreshments there
will be fine music.
Mr. A. Burr Taylor, of Newark, and wife,
who loves Westport more the older he grows,
made a short visit to his sisters, the Misses
Taylor, last week.
A slight fire in Capt. Fred. Sherwood’s
stone storehouse, Friday, was extinguished
by boys putting onions in the building, with-
out damage.
A vessel was stuck in the railroad draw,
Saturday morning delaying trains over an
hour.
Representative-elect John W. Hurlbutt de-
clares that he is opposed to the towa’s pay—
ing any money for engine hose, and says
he shall fight the motion to appropriate. As
the strongest advocate of the scheme is a
democrat, it may be interesting to see which
of the gentlemen has the most influence and
the largest number of supporting friends.
Sunday’s rain helped the wells which are

The farmer’s Club of Green’s Farms, is

from the interest taken in it away from

inen who know how, when and what to

success. Mr. J. E. Wheeler of the Fairfield
County Agricultural Society was expected
to address the club yesterday-(Monday) even-

BRIDGEPORT.
We bend our head in shame and cover it
with wood ashes. The occasion for such ac-
tion is the fact that, after all, Prof. Kingsley
was obliged to abandon his proposed course
of Historical Lectures for lack of patronage.
He gave us one-half of the‘ promised four.
and although they were remarkably interest—
ing, we couldn't furnish from our 27,000 in—
babitants enough to make the delivery of the
other two desirable. We blush for our
adopted city. But then the “Miniature Pina-
forc Company” Was here just before him and
Lester Wallack and “My Awful Dad" im-
mediately followed, and one can’t attend
everything. And what is history, with its
round of legislation and war, its crowning
and discrowning. its weary succession of
men and events, to the warbling of “Sweet
little Buttercup” and the detailed account of
a young man's wild oat sowing? As we think
of it, our wonder diminishes, and our shame.
It is so much nicer to be amused than in-
structed. And so much easier to take in the
scenes‘enacted upon the Opera House stage
than those that appear on the great platform
of the world. Don’t, we pray you, lose your
respect for Bridgeport, just because it sent
Prof. Kingsley away empty. And don’t hes-
itate to secure the Professor’s services in
Norwalk. simply because Bridgeport didn't
appreciate him.
On Monday evening last about 75 members
of Harmony Division, S. of T., of New Ha-
ven, visited Living Spring Division, in this
city. {Certain prominent gentlemen from Nor-
walk, whose names in this connection are
wont to receive lengthy prefixes or Suffixes,
were also present. According to the accounts
given the outside world, a capital time was
had, “without the aid of wine.” After
every one present had been delighted and
thrilled and cxhilcrated and surfeited with
_wit, eloquence and song. the whole pprty
adjourned to the parlors of the Park street
Congregational Church, where substantial
viands had been prepared, and there the feast
went on. We are proud to see that our wor-
thy Mayor, John L. Wessels, was present as
a member of Living Spring, and made an ex-
cellent address at the table. If our officials
and those prominent in society will take a
total abstinence ground, there will be more
hope for the temperance cause. Living Spring
Division, with its more than 120 members, is
maintaining the principles to which it is
pledged, with commendable; vigor. Proba-
bly there is no other Division in the State
whose career has been more uniformly pros-
perous. It completes its tenth year next
summer. Compared with it your own Con-
cord is venerable and hoary-headed, but sure-
ly it is not more enthusiastic for Love, Puri-
ty and Fidelity. Living Spring has its sources
in the Rock of Truth and Righteousness,and
is bound never to dry up nor freeze over till
the desert buds and blossoms, and the round
world, fair and fruitful, rejoices in sun—
shine of Heaven’s benediction.
Your last edition brings sad tidings. Many
had been looking and listening for something
decisive respecting the health of the “Belov—
ed Physician" across the seas, and its arrival
thrills countless hearts with sadness. And
so ‘3 has gone farther away than he proposed
when he left his native land. Even Italian
skies were not sufiiciently soft ‘in their
liquid blue, nor Italian landscape sufficiently
vsunny and attractive. He has sailed on and
on until the “Shining shore" has? spread its
sands before him, and the “isles of the blest”
have lifted into his view theirfmatchless
bloom, and the arch of celestial purity and
glory has bent above him. And we shall not
see him again until we make the same mys—
terious voyage, and our ship glides into the
port of Peace where he found anchorage.
But he will give us iindly greeting. Dr.
Barbour, with all his ill in his profession,
was more than a physician. We knew him-
as a man of active intellect, of pure princi-
ple, of exalted aims. Could he have healed
himself there was certainly reason to believe
that he would have taken the very highest
position as a scholarly, cultured Christian
physician. It has long been evident that his
physique was too frail for the ardent, ener-
getic soul that dwelt within. His gifts and
graces were the “gold in the spent swimmer’s
pocket." God pity the young wife, alone
save for the new—made grave in the far, for-
eign land. God pity the little ones at home
who have prayed so earnestly for papa’s safe
return. May heavenly consolation soothe the,
many stricken hearts that mourn‘this wise
physician, this genial friend, this manly man.
"And, doubtless, untolthec is given
A life that bears immortal fruit,
In such great offices as suit
The full-grown energiei Heaven.
But thou and I have shaken hands,
Till growingwinters lay mc'low .
My paths are in the fields I know,
And thine in undiscovered lands.”
On Tuesday last.Cap‘t. Walter S. Hotcbkiss
of the Second Conn. Light :Battery, died in
this city, and on Thursday his funeral was
attended from the Washington Park M. E.
Church. Rev. George A. Parkington, of
New_ Haven, who was a soldier under his
command during the war, officiating. Many
of his men and other veterans were'present.
Captain Hotchkiss is said to have been one
.of the very best artillery officers in the entire
Union Army. He died at the early age of
~ for ty—six.
A new silver plating company, with a cap-
‘ital of $50,000, has. it is reported, bought
the old tap and die shop, just across Pem—
broke lake, and is about to commence opera-

It is rumored that a steamer is about to be
run from Huntington, L. I., to this cityby
way of Norwalk. The little boat that con—
nects Port Jefferson with Bridgeport, has
largely increased the trade of some of our
merchants, and it is believed that the new—
boat will prove still more advantageous.
It would seem that something is about to
be accomplished in fields where earnest men
and women have labored for hundreds of
years. Our city papers announce the organ—
ization of a “Liberal Society,” instituted “for
the advancement of religious liberty and hu-
man welfare.” Those are grand ends for
which to toil. Yet, personally, we have
never been conscious of a lack of liberty in
religious matters. The pilgrims did some
thing for us in the way of knocking off the
shackles, and their successors haVe carried
their work still further toward completion.
We have wondered how many of our fellow
citizens have felt the need of organizing that
they might realize that which the Constitu-
tion of the United States seems to secure to
us, viz, Freedom to worship God according
to the suggestions of our own conscience.
As to the “human welfare" there is enough to
be done in its behalf, and we welcome any
new organization that shall really aid in the
grand work. ‘ GaxLonn.

The importancc’of preserving old nega-
tivcs is illustrated in the case of of Mrs.
Copps, daughter of Rev. J. B. Pitman, of
Malone, N. Y. When in Norwalk four years
ago, Whitney took some small photographs
of her; lastJune she was married and in
three short months her bridal dress was
changed for a shroud. A village mourns the
loss of one very, very dear. In addition to
over 100 small photographs, Whitney has
made two larger photograph cnlargments,
colored to life, worth $100. One is a bust
in water color, the other a full length in ink;
can be seen for two days at the gallery.

Charles S. Prentice, of Toledo, 0., went
to Paris and thence to England to be treated
for Bright’s disease,aud after the best phy-
sicians of both countries had done what they
could for him, gave him up in despair and
returned to America to die. Here he receiv-
ed further treatment from other skillful phy—
sicians without benefit, acd while “listlessly
lingering in pain and anguish,”as he says,
heard of_the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
took it, and was completely cured in a few
weeks. He gives circumstantial details of
his painful experience and astonishing cure
in a long letter to H. H. Warner do 00.,
which will be forWarded on application.

The advantages of areliable, safe and elli-

such is found, the blessing should be freely

eminent degree by the great Southern medi-

of purely vegetable compound, obtained from
the country where an Allwiso Providence
seems to have placed this Remedy for the use
of sufferersfrom dot-an ement of the liver.

The Word “Sozodout.”
Which has already become a household word,
is derived from the Greek, and. composed of
two words, Sozo and Odontes. “Sozo” trans—
lated, means to preserve, and “Odontes” the
teeth—“SOZODONT” a. preserver of the
teeth. And it is true to its name. It beau-
tifies and preserves the teeth, burdens and
invigorates the gums, and corrects all impu-
ritiep of the breath. The odor of this pure
preparation is so deli htful that it is aluxury

they all derive satistuctlon of some sort from its
columns, for they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, THE SUN
believes that the only guide of policy should be
common sense. inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is. and will continue to be. ab-

It will continue to praise what is good and repro-
bate what is evil. taking care that its lan uage is
to the point and plain, beyond the possi )ility of
being misunderstood. Itis' uninflueneed by the
motives that do not appear on the surface: it
has no opinions to sell, save those which may be
had by any purchaser for two cents. 1t hates in-
justice and niscality even more than it hates un-
necessary words. It abhors frauds. pities fools.

of telling the truth to its friends and about its
