and fitting it up to. prepare hatt'crs fur.
Messrs; J. and E. Bates have hired the house
belonging to John Ward and expect‘to com-
mence the manufacture of coal and, flour
sieves in the Spring
John Bates is' to move into the David

The funeral of the late J01!“ 3- Hoyt, was

.ii‘l‘he event of the week, at‘this‘placc, has
been the wedding of Miss Mary Walmsley
to Mr. Lynch of Mott Haven,” N. Y., which
«came off on the afternoon before Christmas,
at the brides cousins, Mr.:and Mrs. Ephriam.
Thomas.
Miss Walmsley has always been a great
favorite With our {people,both old and young
for her many estimable qualities and grace of
manner and appearance. The recent death
of her mother and the loss of her brother
several years since, leaving her an only child,
an orphan, lent additional interest to her-1
marriage. She. is a descendant of the old
‘family of Selleck’s, whose‘ancestors, once
owncd'the larger portion of the land here—
abouts, and in her choice of husbands seems
to have shown her usual good sense. .
Mr. Lynch is a deacon in the Reformed
Church at Mott Haven, active in the Sunday
Sohools and every good work. His cordial,
dignified and quiet manners, made a favora-
ble impression on the company who had as—
sembled. , '
After the cermonial was performed by‘
the Rev. Mr. Bradford, cf Darlen, the guests
of whom there were between forty and fifty
of the immediate relatives and friends of the
family present, were invited to partake of a
bountiful collation ' .
The bride in her elegant black silk, long
skirt, ’white illusion, natural flowers, rosy
cheeks, pretty teeth and dimples, was the
personification of loveliness, and the young
men of -Norwalk should have been presént
to have seen howmany other pretty girls
there are hereabouts worthy _of their devoted
attention. . ' -
Among the bridal presents were:
Silver Table Spoon, Mr. John Baird.
' _ Set of Table Ware, Mr. 85 Mrs. Vincent
Colyer. ~ ,
Nickle plated Clock, Mrs. .C. Murdock.
V Silver Castor, Mr. Charles Themes.
Silver Cake Basket, Ephriam Thome's.

We understand that the municipality of

The GAzn'rra Almanac arrived on Christ-
mas day,‘and was. very favorably received
by the patrons of the paper. This Almanac
will no doubt prove much more entertaining
and fully. as authoritative as that familiar.

Miss Lina Little has returned from a visit
‘with friends in New York.
Your corresdondent of last week Mr. S.-
M. Main. complains because the name South
Wilton has supplanted Kent. This change
was necessary to avoid having in Connecti-
cut two post dfllcesbearing the same name.
Until the post office was established at South
Wilton the railroad station was called Kent,
and at that time the change was made.
Mr. George W. Adams and daughter were
both thrown from their carriage on Christ-V
mas day by their horse becoming frightened
at a boy sliding. Mrs. Adams was rendered
insensible by her fall and was taken to the
house of Mr. Benajah Gilbert, where resto-
ratives were applied. Fortunately however
no serious injuries were sustained beybnd
several severe bruises and the shock to the
. system.
The Rev: Mr. Merwin in his Sunday lifter- ,
noon service held up quite a bunch of small
vices before his parishioners with the implied
recbmmendation that theybe shaken off with
the 'dust of the closing year.
The annual meeting of the Congregational
Society will be held on Saturday next.
Mr. Eugene Sturges, aformer resident of
Wilton, who for two years past has been
residing in Kansas, is visiting friends in
Wilton. _~
Our statemen ncerning the civil war at
Belden‘s Hill, eeds some revision. We.
have since learned that Messrs. Raymund-
md Lynch are at rvariance,'and hence Mr.
Lynch may have been a trifle tee puncutiliouH
In the discharge of his duty. We did no
wish to represent Mr. Raymond ~as a law-
defying citizen, and, we trust that the un—_ -
'prejudiced will take the mitigating circum—
stances Into full possidcration.

The Christmas Tree service at. St. Mat-
thew's church on Christmas eve, was a. very
pleasing affair, although‘ the weather was not
what we would wish it to be, but neverthe-
less, the church was full long before the
services commenced. The opening voluntary,
Vem' 0mm Spiritus, W. C. Peters, ’Mass in
G. was well rendered. The Carols. “Carol,
sweetly Carol, List we merry Carol, Ring
out the bells fonChristmas, and Hark, Hark,
my Sou ," were well sung by the scholars, to
say nothing of the singing‘of Old Hundred
doxology at the close (if the services, by the
whole congregation and full orchestra.
After the tree had been lit, Mr. Barnett
addressed the _school in a few appropriate
remarks, after which the' children received
their presents. The closing voluntary,
.Gloria, Farmer’s Mass in B Flat, was played
with a great deal of precision. - ,
Mr. Gregory, organist and choir leader,
was kindly assisted by Mr. Hubert Betts, first
aornet, Mr. Eugene Sturger, second cornet,
Mather Charlie Betts, the chime of bells, and
“L S- 1‘. Fitch, bass violin. The music at
the Chrifilmas day service was very good
indeed- Hymn , 23, “Shout the glad Tid—
lugs,” and Hymn 17, “Hark the Herald
Angels Sing," were unusually fine, also
Hymn 25, “Come hither ye F. ithful,” in the
communion service. The musical part of
the Christmas day service, was by mu choir
and, orchestra. The church is very hand-
somely decorated with greens, and those who
kindly assisted deserve a great deal of praise
in the taste they displayed. Allztbose who
attended these services at St. Matthew’s
church on Christmas eve and Christmas day,
WilIfll’ong remember with pleasure Christmas

large fire. It broke out about midnight in
the upper story of the large hat factory oc—
cupied by theIBeckerle Manufacturing Com~
puny, and entlrely destroyed the building and
also a tenement house adjoining. Another
tenement house was partially burned. The
' inmates with some difllculty removed their
furniture across the race way in the belief
that they would be safe there, but the burn-
ing cinders drifted across and set on fire and
destroyed the whole lot. The loss from the
burning of the factory and the stock is be—
tween $40,000 and $50,000. There is some
insurance, but the amount has not been re-
ported. About three hundred hands are
thrown out of employment by the mafia-
gration. The engine: the the Is unknown.

and this year was no exception. Despite
Idwerin‘ weather, dampness, and extremely
cold weather. which came the third week of
Deéembel', the usual preparations wercmade
to celebrate the greatest 'day .in the Christian
year. The 'churches were "decorated with
evergreens, and the boys and girls had a fine

Christ Church choir in particular, being re.

Ministers and people did their best to cell;-

day of this happy season commemorates,_and
the people one and 'all enjoyed themselves,
either through the cheer which good dinners
inspires,.or in the pcrform'ance or friendly
acts, which is a characteristic of New Eng.—
land. On Saturday, Holy Innocents Day, at .
Sturgesl Hall, the members of Memorial
Church Sunday School had their annual fes—
tival wheh each child was presented with
something in the way of a gift. Other Sunday
Schools were treated to good things by their
best friends. '
-_ Two sessions of the Chess Club held after
the summer recess, so overcome the members
like a summer cloud, as it were, that: an in—
formal vote was taken at the last meeting to
adjourn till after the holidays. It is expect—
ed that Christmas dinners and all that sort of
thing will have so inIVigorated all hands that
they can assemble, as per order, at Mr. Tread-

A coal barge, knoWn as No. 97, which was
leaving our river the other day, after the dis-
charge of cargo, got caught under the
’draw of the Saugatuck carriage bridge in
such a way that she could not be moved for—
ward or backward. The" tide was rising at
the time, and the result was the barge lifted
the draw entirely off its bearings. Travel
was impeded and it will cost money to place
the draw in its proper place.

The town at a-special meeting called for
the purpose having voted almost unanimous- .
ly to appropriate'$450.00 for the purchase
of hose for the use of “Compo” Engine Com-
pan'yr—an'act which should have been done
years ago, a good‘deal of comment has been
indulged by tax payers residing outside of
what may be called the Westport fire limits.
Eight hundred feet of hose have been con—
ducted for, instead of 600 as named in the
petition; and as only 200 feet of that number
have been given to “Vigilant” which holds
up itshcad is the equal of “Compo,” a dif—.
ference of opinion as to the town's action is
entertained. Village tax-payers are delight.
ed with the res, but some old farmers
residing at a distance claim the act to be
all unjust one. 'They accept the situation
however, but at the same time take the_
privilege of speaking their minds as oppor-
tunity offers. The following conversation
between a farmer and |a village lawyer was
heard on the bridge the day after the vote
by a disinterested party : _
" Farmer: Pretty work thi_9; your voting
vmoncy for hose which benefits. you village
folks, but whlch we who can never be bene-
fited have to help pay for just the same.
Laws/er :
Tactic? have to pay our share of the expense
entailed by your dogs _killing sheep, and we
don‘t grumble either. ' ' - ,
'_ Farmer .' Relative to the sheep and the
dogs you speak of, as a rule I find that we
farmers get pretty well shorn. But have
you not kept a dog, which liked sheep better”-
than bird _hunting ? . Perhaps you always
paid the bill for damages which that dog
incurred. . ' -
' _Lawyer : No? but. I- always paid my
share. That’s all any man shouldpay.
9 Farmer: Im ouldn’t object to paying for
the hose if I thought it would help ,savcing
home should it take fire. As it is my house
would burn dowri- for want of an engine no
_matter if the town bought 8000 feet of hose
instead of 800. '
Lawyer: I know the situation in which
you are placed, but fire engines, like schools
'are a necessity” and must be supported at pub-
lic exppnsc. ‘
{Former : I’raéticall'y true I admit, but
the advantages in my case are not commen -
surate with the taxes I shathave to pay.
,Lawyer .' What you pay confers benefit,
on a large class who feel that the town is
worthless without the country,hnd the coun-
try without the town. ..
gFarmer: I have come to the conclusion
that if we are to- continue voting money in
this way, it will wiser to bunch it. For one,
I inn .in favor of dispensing entirely with our
present fire department; in favor of throw-
irig their machines away, and of purchasing
a 'first class steam engine, built on the loco—
motive-plan, at acost say of $5000. I know
_of fifty' farmers who will' vote in toWn meet-
ing for that object, . ' _
V :La'wyer : Preposterous? Who will man
it; Where’s you horses coming from. From
whence will you take water.
,iFarm'er : Man it? Why three men are
all that is needed. ' No- horses are to be pro—
vided for, as the engine can go anywhere,
béing a propeller. As to water, we can take
that from the Sound—a never failing source
of supply. Hose is cheap now, you know,
and we can keep three or four lines of hose
lying in position all the. time.
'Lawyer: Too much money for 'so little
return, and what could ypur engine do roll-
lug over the. numerOus hills with which
‘Westport is surrounded- ~
-' fFa/rmer : No need of going over the hills.
She’ll be stationary to a great extent; Her
wbrk will be done through hosé, Hose is
down to 56 cpnts a foot now, and, as I’ve
said, we can have hose in every direction.
lawyer; Nonsense? You can’t put out a
fire unless you take an engine where the fire
Is; .
Farmer.- That’s your weak point. What
is an engine good for if she takes her water
from wells, and as a rule wells are the only
supply which farmers and a good many other
folks have to offer. _I tell you,-wat'er must
be' taken from a place where whater is;
time where the river ought to be, there’s no
way left but to fall' back on the Sound.
There’s something solid. .
Lawyer : How would it do dig a hole two
hundred feet square by twenty feet deep in
the river bed. The tide would keep that
always full and it would be near home.
Farmer: True? but that would only
serve for small fires. What we need is pro-
vision for great fires.
Lawyer: As there'_seems to be but little
“Penny wise and pound foolish” style in
your theorizing, why not chrry' your plan
further on this style of magnificences and‘ad-
vocate a fire alarm telegraph.
Former: That’s what I was coming to.
Having alive horse railroad, the town needs
all these grand" things to help her keep a
stiff upper lip among her sister neighbdrs.
Witll a district fire alarm and 0.85000 steam-
er, I think we would set out to grow
the town. - Such men as you should be like
,an umbrella after a shchr,‘—s_hut up. ~
Farmer : That’s your opinion, eh ? Well,
do you know what I'd like to do outside of
voting to buy a steamer ?
Lawyer .- No! can’t say that 1 do. d
fen, ,7 595337, but. IIUJmOSUI‘B,"
and as there’s nothing but mud flats half the .
Lawyer: I take it you want to bankrupt 3
Farmer: 7 l’di’go in for making money,
and for my optning speculation, _ I‘d like to
buy you' It your real value, anti sell you for"
wh‘at’you think you are worth.

Thank you; The GAZETTE Almanac just
received; is' quite a beauty; in fact a work
of art Whose free distribution is a testimony
both' to the taste .and the liberality of its
publishers. . There are times when we regret
that ”Christmas comes but once a year.”
One of them _is when it brought us a gift like
this. As in this sumptuous pnblication we
follow the cou'rse of the year, ,from the sli-
'diugdown hilllas therein depicted, to.thc
openingIOf the Christmas stockings, we won—
dcrL‘wh'a‘t'; its Vdays contain for us all. Is
bility of br’okcn strings and sticks? And
will soine of .us be the object of April jokes?
Probably it is altogether best, that while the
almanac makers -prédict the performances of
sun andmoon and tidc, the advent of flow-
ers and fruit ‘andIfrost, they have no power
to; prophesfy that respecting us, of which
these fehangcs of days and months apd sca—
sons are only the setting. That the proprie—
tors of the GAZETTE may find abundance of
prosperity in the coming year is the 'wish of
all their patrons, unless it be of him who was
omitted in the ‘ distribution of the almanacs.
Christmas brought to our city all the glad-
ness that was anticipated. Probably the
expenditure in- preparation for'thc ‘ festival
was greater than ever before. The good
time, not only “coming”I but actually with
us, has‘displaycdits ‘truc inwardness upon
this occasion and «caused an unprecedented
manifestation of cheer and hope. The sus-
rfiindcd healer-y was remarkably well-filled;
the tree transplafitedfrom forest to parlgr
bore costly fruit; the table laden with the
its burden than ,has been its wont during the
five years past. The Sdnday Schools exultcd
as usual in Christmas carols and mince pic.
We can personally testify to having seen
some four hundred youngsters give them-
selves as devotedly to.thc latter as to the for-
mer, and possibly with ,3 trifle more of en-
thusiasm. Well,“ He whose advent the
Christmas time commemorates, would no
doubt have all the children enjoy: themselves
to the utmost on His birthdny. _ ‘
The-many friends in the Fourth Regiment
and elsewhere, of Capt. S. C. Kingman, will
be interested to learn that on Tuesday even—
ing, Dec. 23d, his residence on Washington
Park was the scene of a happy event, sis,
the marriage of his eldest daughter, Ella P.,
to Horace L. Eamcs of this city. ‘All went
merry as the merriest of marriage bells from
the entrance of the happy pair to the flight
of the last slipper that followed them on
their way to the depot. Mr. and Mrs. Eames
have wisely escaped this cold Ship by going
South. They propose, like General Grant,
to enter Richmond. » May the Old Dominion
give them, kindly greeting and speedily re-
turn them to Bridgeport and the new‘ home
that here awaits their coming. '
Our people enjoyed a rare treat on Christ-
mas evening. The eminent English astrono-
mer, Prof. Proctor, gave us his lecture upon
“The Life and Death Of Worlds." It
afforded 'us a glimpse, most amazing and
inspiring, 6f .tbe tremenduous processes
going on in the! adverse. According to his
calculation five hundred million years were
required for our earth to become sufficiently
cool and compact to admit of its being in-
habited. He'believcs that with the excep-
tion of Venus and our world no planet of,'the
solar system is at present ‘in a conditioa to
support life. Mercury and our moon are
dead, Mars is dying, while the four huge
outer planets are yetin toohnt and unsettlsd
a condition to be occupied'...,He predicts that
after several hundred million years the same
our earth ; its oceans and atmosphere-will be
absorbed, and it will move round the sun
bearing upon its surface no .life, itself the
funeral car of extinct generations. - His (1 s-
course was illustrated with the stercopticon

The lecture was completely crushing to one’s
self—conceit The most'important man of
all who hung upon the Professor’s words must
have felt himself dreadfully insignificant
after all. We are glad we were there and

"Postmaster James of New York city, who
understands has business thoroughly, prints
a card in the Wald of that city that deserves
careful attention. He shows the immense
increase of mail business in New York and
the limited facilities there. The letters,etc.,
mailed in that city for a week in 1874, were
2,829,008; for a week in 1879, they were 7,-
193,290. , _Yet the same force is required to
handle the present mails that used to be kept

The loss of the British-steamship Borussia,
on the 2d i'nstant,makes one of the most fatal
ocean calamities of the year, only nine sur-
vivors being known out of some 330 souls on
board. -,The ship was an old one and'quite
probably unseaworthy. She waabuilt of iron
and ran for a time between New York and
.Hamburg. When she became too old for;
first-class service she was started on the route
fromLi‘verpocl to New Orleans,and was em—
ployed in trans orting emigrants. The sur—
vivors tell_ con icting stories, but it is evident
that whethhe périlous moment came there
was a panic, in which the crew and passen—
gers struggled for the possession of the boats.
The captain apparently did his duty and went
clown wilh his ship. ,

The Word “Sozodont.”
Which has already become a. household word,
is derived from the Greek, and composed of
two words, Sozo and Odontcs. “Sozo” trans—-
lated, means to preserve, and “Odoutes” the
teeth—“SOZODONT” it preservcr of the
teeth. And it is true to its name. It beau-
tifics and preserves the teeth, hardens' and
invigortttes the gums, and corrects all impu-
rities of the breath. The odor of this pure
preparation is so delightful that it is aluxury
to apply it. It is as harmless as water. Sold
