Outstanding interest ordei's.

 

In making .our report for 1879 the Select-
men aregldd to be able to note a substantial
improvement .in the financial condition of the
town. in spite Of the very considerable ex-
penditures to which attention will be called
below. From the items included above, it
will be sc'en that the town is the ‘possessor
of valuable real and personal property, the
value of which should. in fairness be deduct-
ed from the apparent indebtedness. It this
were ,done, the debt, which according to the
foregoing balance sheet is nominally $120,.
851,59 would probably be in realit less than
$100,000. . '

ates; the expense of
whose maintainance will be found detailed in
the preceding part of the report; of this
number 37 have been discharged,8 have died,
and the present number receiving support is
28. The farm has yielded 10 tons ofhay;
800 bushels, of potatoes; 100 bushels of cats;
2.70 bushels of co"n on the car; 22 bushels
of rye; 50 brahe's of onions; 200 heads of
cabbage; 5 bushels of ans with a mill—-
oiency of rden truck 0 supply both insti-
tu‘lions. he live stock on the farm consists
of 1 yokelof oxen, 4 cows. 1 horse. 6 hogs, 0
pigs and 25‘fowls. There is’ on hand a full
supply of farming utensils and tools, the
mbst important being 2 wagons, 1 cart, 1
horse rake, plows, wheelbazrows, blasting
tools, &c., besides house hold furniture and
bed clothing. I ‘
CHILDREN’sIHoME

.The old Alina House converted .into what
is now known as the Childie'nI’s Home.._has
been overhauled and repaired at considerable
cost, and it now appears to be well adapted
for giving those unfortunate little ones a
comfortable and pleasant home. Moreover,
thishas been done with'a very considerable
saving to the town, as will be seen by com-
parison as follows, vim—For the first 15
months of the year commencing Dec. 1st,1878_
the cost of the maintainanceof these children
at‘ Fitch’s Home was $1,097,02. The remain-
ing 7 men he of the year, notwithstanding
the expense of repairing the bullding and
furnishing them with household. furniture,
bed clothing. &c., the combined cost has
amounted to $1,112,154 ; at this ratio for the 7
months will show a saving of 3423,29.
From Fitch’s Home 15 children were receiv-
ed, and including these the total number re.
delved up to date has been 82. . For 23 of
these the Selectmen have-found good homes in
families, leaving in the Home at present, 9
children, mostly infants.

. , INSANE. ~

The town paid last quarter $215.86, which
is at the rate of $868,424 per year for the
sup rt of 6 insane patients at the hospital
at iddletown.

_ TBAMI'S AND CBIMINAS.
, During the year the Lock-up in the Be-
}rough has been improved in its similar-{econ-
dition, .The building without.- any at nipt
at luxuries has been provided with those
conveniences which are imperatively demand-

good and substantial sewer has been con-
structed leading from the blilding into the
harbor just below the propeller dock’; water
has been introduced into the male and fe-
male apartments. and the Tramp Room, and
each of these rooms hds been provided with
a- water closet, emptying directly into the
sewer. , . . .
During the you; the Lock-up has accom-
modated 78 prisoners, and. has furnished
them ~200 meals, being an inereasef'of 18
prisoners ever 13 number :eceivedin the

t _
same month scf 1878. The tramp department

has had 2,180 inmates I the year and
has furnished them .with .1, .meals,~being

aI decrease of 984 in the number of tramps as
compared with last year. The total. number
of inmates, both prisoners and tram . has
thus been 2,267.and the total number 0 meals
furnished 1,285. .- .-

The Lock-up at South Nor-walk has receiv-.
ed 67 prisoners. during the year and has
provided them with 62 meals. . . . :l

Letters from the People.

NEW Yank. Dec. 13, 1879.
DEAR GAZETTE :-—I have been a long time

 

_trying to work up my courage to the point

that would enable me to express my indigna-
tion at a species of vandalism, perpetrated
by some .one or more, and submitted to by a
whole community without a ‘single protest,
How do you suppose
that old John Mead and his associates, who
more then two centuries ago settled in
“Kent” and baptized it with the name of
their dear old home, would curse the railroad
company, or. any other man, who had dared
to change the venerable name to that of
“South Wilton.”, .I should as soon think 1
changing the name of Wilton to ConistoCk’s
Station, or Pimpcwaug to Caunon’s Station.
It‘seems a pity that the old landmarks should
not be let alcn'e. I do not write in the hope

that the wrong will be righted, but just to

give vent to the feeling of sadness that comes
upon me when I see the names long cherish-
ed by‘ those ,of our kiusme'n, changed and
obliterated; well, if it must be so i will sub-
mit under protest. S. M. MAIN.

' WEST STRATFORD. _

[Deferred from last week.]
On Monday evening last. some person
or persons effected an entrance into
Whittlesey’s grocery store by prying open
one of the rear windows. They took noth—
ing but a few pennies and some segars. I:
James Reddy, of this place, was fined $9
and costs, in the City Court of Bridgeport,
on Monday last, The charge was breach of
the peace and violation Of a‘ city ordinance.
,In the Bridgeport correspondence of the
GAZETTE, last week, the fact was mentioned

that a dandelion blossom had been found

near the the horse railroad depot. We have
the blossomIreferred to in our possessiOn.
The County Commissioners have appoint—
ed V. R, C. VGiddings, of this place, as prose-
Outing attorney. . .
,The Silver Plating Company have received
a number of car loads of machinery, and are
erecting a new building sixty by forty feet,
two stories high. They expect to commence
work about the first of next month. .
The following item is from the Bridgeport
Standard: f‘A recent issue ,of a San Francis;
co paper gives a long interview with J. Car.—
tei‘, of West Stratford, who is mateof the-
Holen' Mar. The vessel had just returned
from a perilous voyage in northern waters,
and the story of-Mr. Carter is very interest—
ing.” . . I . .
The Court of Burgesséiswill meet to-inor-
row evening. 11'» will be the last regular
meeting of Itlie,present Court, and if the new
COurt leaves as clear a recordas the outgoing
one they 'will be fortunate indeed. -
The Lyceum met last evening and organi—
zed for the coming winter.
The Rowayton correspondent of the San--
tine! seems inclined to the opinion that our
“review” was inspired by Mr. Colyer. NVe
will be charitable enough 'to say that he is
mistaken, as Mr. Colyer knew nothing of it
till it appeared in print,and we would inform
him'that making acharge and proving it are;

two different event's. ' W.

. ‘ J miles E. Barbour. .

The death,of Dr. Barbour not only de-
prives the medical fraternity of'this town
of. one of its leading spirits, but robs the
community bf one of its best known and
most justly valued citizens. He was no or-
dinary man. Possessed Of an insatiable de-
sire for knowledge, he had made'attainments
simply remarkable‘for his years and opportu-
nities. Living the profession to which he
dedicated his life, he labored in it with a zeal
and fidelity that soon gave him an enviable
reputation and skill. N ever physically strong,
no labor dauuted him and no fatigue could
conquEr his determination to advance. He
seemed to be confident that his time would
be short and his hours crowded to repletion.
Itwas plain to all but himself that he was
overworked, and that he.was making de-
mands upon a far from strong co titution,
that must soon bring a breaking down, if not
the destruction that has at last resulted. But
no exhortations could turn him to consider
his own needs and inIaddition to the claims
he made upon himself ,as a general student,
his kindness drove him to much work that
his physical condition demanded should be'
left undone. Ameng the last professional
calls he made, when scarcely able to lift him-‘
self into his carriage, were several to which
he was impelled by the philanthropy that
distinguished him. . ,

Dr. Barbourwas born in New York in 1843,
but very early in life became a resident of
Norwalk and a druggist’s clerk. .He was
always studying then, when a respite from
duty made it possible, and took the first op-,
portunity to enter the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, New York. Before finishing
his course he enterted the army as a medical
cadet, and later passed the rigorous examina:
tion of the Army and Navy Board wigh
credit, and became a surgeon serving inIbcth
Army and Navy. After his graduation from
the Medical SchOol he began practice in Wil-
ton, but‘ soon, through his friend, Dr. Lyrics,
whom he has so honored and whom he has
~so soon followed, entered upon a practice in

'NOrwalk and vicinity, which increased rap-

idly Iin extent up to the time of his sickness.
In earlier and less busy days he was the
Prefident of the Y. M. C. A., and carried
that Society almost single-handed in the days
of its decidence. '

The hay fever, Dr. Barbour's persistent
enemy, compélled his absence from this vi-
cinity for some weeks in the fall. He had
tried various resorts, and latterly had crossed
the ocean. A year ago, after such a trip, he
seemed stronger than for years past, but
worked so persistently as , to soon lose the
benefits of his ,voysge, and Instrummer, re,-
du’c'e'd so low as to leave but little hope of his
recovery, he was carried to Europe again.
He yvas journeying southward when his dis—
ease'gave him the fatal stroke at Pisa, Italy.
The community has lost a good citizen,—to
his friends the loss is irreparable. Every
heart will beat with sympathy for his family,
and‘jnost of all for the four children left
fatherless and the wife who turns from the
grave of her husband in a foreign land.

The Republican Outlook.

 

.- WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 13, 1879. ‘
MY DEAR BriNGTON:—Congress is run—
ning along very quietly. There is scarcely
a ripple on the surface indicating any legis-
lation that would properly be termed politi—
cal. and it is evident that the majority of
both branches of that body are undecided as
to the measures which they will present and
the course that they will pursue during the
present session. The more discreet of the
Democratic leaders are decidedly adverse to
again presenting the issue which occupied
the attention of Congress at the specialses—
sion. Those issues were subsequently sub—
mitted to the people of the country, to exam-
inc and pass upon, and at the Fall elections
the people unequivocally condemned them.
The Democratic party has been thrown into
a minority _in every Northern State by the
attitude its leaders assumed last Summer and
Fall. No great disposition has been Openly
shown this session to impair the public credit,
dcbase the currency, wipe out the Federal
election laws or clog the wheels- of the busi-I
ness of the country which now is surely and
rapidly reviving. The great aim of this
party will be to adopt such measures as will
ensure success in the great struggle for the
Presidency in 1880. Bu‘t there are apparent-
ly wide differences of opinion as to the Charo
acter of these measures,.among the Demo-‘
eiatic leaders. And they are as badlerm-
barrassed in the selection of a presidential
candidate as they are in agreeing upon a plat-
form of principles. Indiana continues to

cling to Hendricks as the only nominee who.

can secure a majority of the electoral votes
in the coming contest. Ohio still f‘points
with pride” to Thurman, and plainly says
that he alone cm obtr'n that support at the
North which will ensure succesg. Prominent
Democratic wire pullers all over the country
who have luxuriated in the pleasure of flin—

-barrel and are anxious . to ’ run them i once
more and Clean up to the shoulder,.-siil ding],
the praisc;of the Sage of Gramercy Park‘
and urge his re—nomi'lation. Bayard stands
prominent.as the standard-bearer of the old—‘
fashioned, square—teed Democrats, who have
undying faith in the hard-money theories of
Jackson and Benton; while Hancock is‘put
forward by others of the party who. desire to
eonciliate as far as possible, the soldiers .of

-tbe Union, _.and believe that the General has

negative qualiticswhicli make him, at this

juncture, the most available candidate. But

it must be patent to' every intelligent observ-

er, that, with theseIpronounccd differences;
of opinion in the DcmOcratic ranks, that nO'
one of the gentlemen named is certain of

can 'ing Indiana, Ohio, New York, or any

Northern State. and that the Republican nom-

inee, if a judicious selection is made,'will be

triumphantly ushered into the White House

in 1880.

.. The great enquiry now is, who. of the

many gentleman whose names have been as—

sociated with the highest office in the gift of

the American people, should be selected as‘
the Republican leader in 1880 ? SO far _as the

great body of the Repulican party is concern-

ed there is not a doubt but that they would

sustain either Sherman,.Grant or Blaine, if

the nominee of the National Convention.

But a very important enquiry springs up at

once, in view of . the nicely balanced status

of the great political parties of the country,

and the necessity of putting in nomination

that one of theltliree candidates primed who

cohld command the wronges‘t‘fopportf" That

selected. ‘If it becomes apparent thatf'tl‘ie

icy inaugurated. by its leaders in South Caro-
lina, Mississippi and Louisiana, and that
thousands of menentitled to all the rights of.
citizenship'are deprived of the same by the
shotgun and fraud, then the nomination of
General Grant may be looked upon as a
political necessity, email other considerations
must yield to the exigencies of the hour. .If.
it is believed that Grant alone can protect
our Citizens in every section of the land in
the full enjoyment Of all their rights, then
Grant will inevitably be the Republican can-
didate for the Presidency. But the present
attitude of the Rebel Brigadicrs in Congress
does not indicate that any such contingency
will occur. . Unless the overshadowing neces-
ity, to which I have referred, should arise,
there is such a strong prejudice existing in
the minds of the American people opposed to

. electing any man the third term to the Presi-

dency, the force of precedent being also
against it, that there is hardly a possibility
that General Grant can receive the nomina-
tion. Having got to this point, the question
arises, which of the other gentlemen Mined
would be looked upon as the most available
candidate in theilight of their past recoqls
'and present positions. Each must stand upon

try are already carefully examining their
merits and comparing their claims.
Believing that Secretary Sherman is the

the Republican party, I propose at this time
to speak only of him, and to point out those
elements of strength, which all concede he
possesses, and which should command his
nomination. Let as carefully and impartially
analyze the claims of Mr. Sherman for this
,high oflice and see what can be particularly
said in his favor as the Republican nominee.
He is a true Republican and has been one
since the Kansas difficulties in 1856. Before
thethe was a Whig. _ He took a very promi-
nent and ’active part in the investigation of
the Kansas troubles, and his influence was
very effective in bringing Ksnsds into the
Union as a free State. Since that time he
has been true to the principles he then enun -
elated, never having atany time or under
any circumstances wavered. His whole po-
litical as well as private life has been every
way .consistent and untarnished. What he
has done to advance the best interests of the
country should lead the people to look upon
him use public bbnefactorpwortby of their
confidence and support. He has placed our
finances upon a sound and permanent basis,
and this against a gigantidattcmpt to create
a; fist currency, to rdrive gold. out of the
United States, to compel an unlimited
coinage of silver and to make resumption a
failure. The success that be has achieved in
bringing about these results is unequaled in
the financial history of the world, and should
entitle him to a nation’s gratitude. When
Mr. Sherman entered upon his duties as head
Of the Treasury Department the public debt
was a burden upon the people scarcely to be
bouruc 5 business of every kind was depress.
ed; men bv the thousands were destitute of
employment. Now. the aspect of things has
entirely changed, and people are enjoying
the benefits of the prosperity brought about
by the policy of the secretary. ‘ ,
.It is generally conceded that if Mr. Sher-
man is the Republican nominee, the great
body of the Liberal Republicans, who sus-
taincd Mr.Greclcy in 1872,will give him their
v‘OtesIrI :To-tliis support can safely be added

West, who believe tliatthe country is more
indebted to Mr. Sherman than "to any- other
man for the general prosperity which ”pre-
vails. Mr. Sherman would come before the
people with an unsuilicd public record. No
no: of his in either branch of Congress,would
invite attack; and the political campaign of
1880, the most important since the close of
the war, with him as the Republican nomi-
nee and leader, would not be defensive in its
character but aggressive and triumphant.

mm“.
The holiday season this year will be pecul-
lBflY pleasant, because the long prostration of
industry is ended.'and business everywhere
pevives. The good will of the season will
even be more cheerful and cordial and the
wish of a happy New Year will have the
charm of sincere expectation. But whatever
mental! in. the magic of the time is resist-

"Some say that ever 'galust that: season comes
Wherefn our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,

The bird ofdawning singeth all night long:

And then. they say, no spirit dare stir abroad;
The night are wholesome ; yhen no planets strike.
No fairy takes. nor witch hath power to charm.
So hallowc’d and so gracious is the time.”

This is the ever fresh and recurring senti-
ment of the season, and although Christen-
pom is wide, and embraces many nationali-
ties, there is always a feeling that Christian
tide is peculiarly an English season. Cer-
tainly our own ~associations with it, its fam-
ily reunions, its boundless good cheer, its
ample hospitality, the waits, the Yule—log,
the morris-dancers, the mistletoe, are s-r
pecially English. Our Northern ancestors
celebrated everything with feasting, with
huge eating and deep drinking. and Father
Christmas comes in, preeeded,. indeed, by
the cantors intoning a hymn, but closely fol— ’
lowed by the boar’s head wreathed with rose-
mary, and the plum-pudding smoking hot .
not far away. . ‘- - ‘

, ll‘he great Success of Dicken's Christmas
stories lay in their felicitous expression of
this'nationsl feeling. There was a vague
‘.'ideal" of Christmas hovering in the popular
mind, traditions of the good old hearty time
of popular games and Christmas carols and
universal benignity and well-being. NO-
body knew exactly when or exactly where
this miracle of changing England into Ar-
cadia was wrought. But that the visicn was
a mirage nobody believed. The old songwas
true history :

“A man might then behold
At'Ohristmss in each ball
Good fires to curb the cold.
And most for great and small;
The neighbors were friendly hidden.
And all had welcome this ;
The poor from the gates were not chiddeu.
When this old cap was new."

It was a No Man's Landaland of Cockalgne,
during the rest of the year, but at Christmas
it was good old England.

This was the generous and wholesome
feeling which makes Irving's Christmas
sketches so delightful. They are full of
the breath of s hallowed and gracious time.
There is an inexpressible glamour over the
simple narrative,snd there sreno passages in
his books more justly popular. It was this
poetic aura over very subdantial facts to
which Dickens gave such exquisite expres-
sion. He treats Christmas' as a season when
Christianity may be represented as really
practicable—when simple generosity and for.
givenessand repentance, may be depicted as
natural and actual, and when it is:l'air to give
glimpses of what this modern world, the
world of London or New York. would be if
people were governed by Christian rules.
and practiced the faith which they profess.

. Dickens does this, of course, in a char—
acteristic and sympathetic way. Honest
good cheer is a large part of his Christmas.
It is practical Christianity which his blitbe
pen preaches and describes—feeding the
hungry. mothing’the sick. raising the fallen.
visiting the fatherless and the widow—a
homely, hearty, beautiful-Christianity, a sea-
son in which the bird of dawning singeth all
night long. Thackeray followed in his own
way. His little Christmas stories preach less
than those of Dickens. but they have a prod-
igious moral. He felt deeply the benedic-
tion of a, season which the traditions of a
race had consecrated to the simple and sturd
virtues, _and the tender pensiveness' of his
genius has a singularily touching expression
'in the little Christmas verses of I various
kinds that he wrote. Among these the most
familiar are are the delightful “Mahogany
Tree :" »

“Christmas is here :

Winds whistle shrill.

Icy and chill,

, Little care we;

Little we fear

Weather without.

Sheltered about

The mahogany tree :”
and the Epilogue of Dr. Birch :

“The play is done, the curtain drops!”
Thackeray also, in his lecture upon “Charity
and Humor”—-flrst published, if we may
make hold to mention it. in this Magazine-
pays generous tribute to the character and
influence of Dickens’s Christmas .literature
as re-aWakening the hearty spirit of old Eng-
lish Christmas, which had fallen rather int
slumber and forgetfulness. '

But in New York find this year no slumber
or forgetfulness has overtaken the gracious
season. The long ranges of Christmas trees,
as if a Bimam wood of evergreens had gar-
risoned the town; the bewildering piles and
masses of Christmas gifts in miles of win-
dows, which by their infinite contrariety of
temptation are sure to hold the eager youth-
ful buyer in suspense; the markets" solid
with beeves and poultry and game. recalling
the pictures in the old IllustratedINelu‘of
the London markets at Christmas, sud'the
poultcrers with three andfour stories of solid
poultry covering the entire front . of the
.house; the crowds of buyers with the happy
look of the mind bent upon giving pleasure
—-all these things, and the vast miscellany
of sights that can be “better imagined than
described,” recall the generous old Christ-
mas trsditions, the feeling with which, as
boys, we all read Irving's Sketch Book and
Bracebridge Hall, and then Dickens and
Thackeray. and the satisfaction With which
we passed from intoning the solemn music of
Milton's ‘ ‘Hymn on the Nativity." and Walls-~
worth’s poem, -

“The minstrels sang their Christmas tunes

Lastnlght beneath my cottage eavei,”

to gazing upon pictures of the bringing in of
the boss‘s head, and the wassail, and Kenny
Meadows’s blindman’s bud. 'and dishing the
Christmas pudding. The Yule logs, we are
told, like half of the Christmas Observances,
are heathen reminiscences and traditions.
But “before Abraham was, I am." There is
nothing in the deepest and test sense hu-
man whichin the truest and highest sense is
not also Christian. The characteristic feel-
ing about Christmas. as it is revealed in lit-
erature and tradition and association. is the ’
striking and beautiful tribute to the practi-
