W'ILTON.

A series of meetings, marked by unusual
interest, have been held by the Zion's Hill M.

E. church during the past week.

The CongregationalSunday School have
adopted the custom so much in vogue else
where—that of naming the classes.

Mrs. Harvey Bedient has‘ been afflicted by
a stroke of paralysis. . i

A South Wilton farmer was seen plowing
up sod land on Saturday last. This is some-
thing unusual, and is only made possible by
the exceptionablc mildness of the winter.

Mr. Palmer a youthful resident of Siam.
ford recently “swapped horses” with Mr.
Cyrus Morgan of North Wilton. A misun—
derstanding arose from this transaction'which
resulted in Mr. Palmer attaching a horse and
wagon supposed to belong to Mr. Morgan.
The horse and wagon were placed in the
custody of Mr. Wm. Hoyt from whose prem-
ises they were surreptitiously removed and
secreted. Deputy Sheriff Jones of Stamford
who made the attachment caused the arrest
of Mr. Morgan and his hired man on Satur-
day last as being The abductors. Justice
Faneher held a scans: in the evening and ad—
mitted Mr. Morgan to bail for $500 to appear
for trial at the Town Hall .to (lay at 10:30 A.
M. We understand that the horse and wagon
in question were not the property of Mr.
Morgan but some one else. ‘

The Rev. J. H. Smith occupied the pulpit
of the South Wilton M. _E. Church on Sunday
last. ' .

Mr. Eliphalet Morehouse of South Wilton
is quite ill with pneumonia. It is hoped that
good care and a vigorous constitution will
enable-him to speedily recover. '

The Rev. Mr. Wood who is a relative and
guest of the Rev. Mr. Merwin occupied the
pulpit of the Congregational church on Sun-
day afternoou. .

Wilton experienced a runaway on the 19th

which will compare favorably with some of '

Danbury’s last efforts. Mr. Samuel Water—
bury, of Wilton, hitched his horses in front
of Mr. Charles Marvin’s and in some way
they pushed over the post and ran down the
street. When near the house of Mr. W.S.
Cole, Mr. George Canfield attempted to stop
them, but they dragged him upon the rail—
road track and he was compelled to let go.
The team then jumped the cattle guard and
ran north about three fourths of a mile to-
wards Cannon’s Station. They then jumped
from the track overturning the buggyand
forcipg the broken pole into the ground
which brought the team to a standstill.
Neither of the horses received a serath al-
though the pole wasihroken and some minor
damages done to the buggy. ' Had this run-
away happened a few minutes later the 5:30
Danbury train would have completed mat-
ters considerably. WILL Tonx.

February opens with colder Weather.

January was April in disguise.

Mrs. Philip Northrop. who died on her
ninety-third birthday was buried last week
Monday. '

Mr. Goodwin, of New York, was in‘ town.
recently, looking for a spot to build a summer
house. , .

W. C. Barhite has purchased the residence
of Hiram Davis on Prospect Avenue,

J. .L. Hunt dislocated his shoulder, last
Tuesday, by falling between two cars.

A little son of Madison Davis, clinging to
the wagon of Aaron Keelcr, got his foot
caught in the wheel and broke his thigh.

Hiram Davis bought the building lot cor—

'ner of Prospect Avenue and Orchard street.

Revs. Teller and Abbot exchanged pulpits
Sunday. ‘

Look out for burglars. Three houses just
over the line were robbed afcw nights since.

Chas. Valdcn and Nettie Smith, are to be
married in St. Stephens Church, to-morrow
at 2 p. m. Reception at E. H. Smith’s, the
brides father, at 3. .

An Amateur Entertainment will be given
at the Hall, Friday evening, consists of a

comedy "Always Intended,” and a farce “T

oblige Benson.” ‘ ,

, There will be a Town Meeting next Satur -
day, when the whole subject of public
schools will be ventilated, and possibly
something done to make them better.

The Public Library is a success. It is well
patronized and evidently meets a very long
felt want.

Smith d: Sholes are very busy in their fac-
tory, manufacturing shirts.

 

ROWAYTON.

The law suits which have been so long
pending between Messrs Bowen, Grifieth and
Colyer about rights of way on Contentment
Island have at last been decided by judge
Hall of Bridgeport in favor of MessrsGrif-
feth and Colyer. Their Counsellors in law
were Messrs Woodward and Perry of Nor-
walk. . _ ‘

Charles Hubbs, the unfortunate assistant
Postmaster of this place was visited at the
Hartford jail, where he is 'serving out his
sentence, by one of our citiZens last week.
He is employed in the Shoe Shop and seems
as cheerful and in as good h ealth as could
be expected. It is only when he.refers to
his faithful and devoted wife and friends at
home, that he seems heart broken.

The aggregate number of children in W est—

had attended no schools during the year.

Mr. Leroy Meeker, of Cross Highway, who
jocosely remarked-Thursday, that he was

tothe dangerous condition of the southern

jecture what may happen -when the line falls
withOut the base, but the average observer
believes the .wall will evidently tumble
down. ' _

Mr. John Crossman,.who died Friday, in
Weston, in her 83d year, was well known in
this community. She was a sister of the late
Mrs. Charity Fairchild, and of Mrs. D. S.

OLD FOLKS HARTY. ,

This event for which preparations had been
making for many weeks, came off Thurs;
day evening, and was in every particular a

ple were on hand than usual, and notwith—
standing the fact that the number of tickets
agreed on by {the committee to be issued to
the “young fry” had beemlin‘rited to ten,
there was more of that class present than
ever before. The young and the old there-
fore chatted, danced, and ate together, all
enjoying the opportunity, and all agreed
when Friday morning came and the music
ceased and the beahtiful tables were cleared

times in their lives. Among the old men
present, (the term old is used in a compara—
tive sense only,)' were uncle Joe Andrews,
of Weston, ov.er eighty years of- age, and his
neighbor Johnson, and his younger neighbor
Joe Godfrey, Mr. William Wood, Andrew
C. Nash, Frederick Morehouéefl. S. Adams,
S. G. Taylor, and M. W. Wilson. . Of the

youthful and were so interestedjn all that
happened that they could not accurately be
enumerated. Only one conclusion can he
arrived at in their case, and that is, they had
each and all, so renewed their age as to war-
rant fbeliefthat the poet who wrote, “We
are alligrowing‘old, Betty Brown,” had for
once made a mistake. Dancing took place
at Sturges Hall, which was decorated with
flags of all nations, Redgate’s band furnish-

ing music. It should be here stated that
Redgate’s horn player made. more. friends

and won more approbation by his correct
performances than any person at the dance.

While on the floor the dancers seemed en-
veloped in a democratic atmosphere, rich and
poor, high and 16w, young and old, moving
in the same sets together, talking and laugh -
.ing with freedom and earnestness as if they
had forgotten some of the cold, inhospitable

demeanors exhibited by them towards each

other in the social circle outside the hall.

By chance, a few more of these old folks

annual parties may induce more of this sort
of actions. From eleven to two o’clock the
guests partook of supper at the village hotel
prepared under the supervision of Messrs.
Bradley &.Lyon proprietors, assisted by a
few gentlemen and _a numerous force of
ladies.' The tables extended through the

hotel’s double dining room, and was an ele-
gant-picture to gaze at» after the ladies had
pronounced all things ready, More than

two hundred persons did their share towards
annihilating the good things offered and
when the last guest departed, the tables still
groaned under their liberal burden. The
old folks cake bearing the figures 1880 in

colored sugar dust was made by Mrs. R. D.
Cable. Like some garrisoned fortifieation,its
size served as an elequent warning against

attacking parties however anxious or hungry

and it remained intact to the end. When

supper was over, niuch more than twelve

baskets of good fragments that ‘re left

were gathered up and, as we learn given to
the village poor. Mr. Wm. T. Wood as floor
manager, assisted by Messrs. H. B. Gilbert,

J. S. Jones and C. B. Lyon, performed
duties acceptably, and Mr. Charles Harris
earned the gratitude of the entire crowd by

throwing open his apartments as dressing
rooms for the ladies; and by personally at—
tendin to the coat and hat requirements of the
gentlemen. '

This is Leap Year, and Westport ladies
feeling that the opposite set have been in-
convenienced often on their account during
the past four years have decided to have
their own way, just once. This (Tuesday)
evening is the time, and the hotel ballroom
the place where the tender creatures they
propose inviting to dance with them will as—
semble. They will for the time being he the
sterner sex, and the sterner sex the weaker,
and it is expected the litter will yield them-
selves re'ady victims. They are to invite cs-
cort. provide for and attend to generally
their favorites, and when supper is over
will :furnish the fragrant cigar, and such
fluid mixtures as may be needed. When all
is at an end such as might be too weary to
walk home will be assigned carriages, the
expense to be defrayed by the fair gallants.
As yet these who are to be victims of this
leap year device, do not know what :is in
store for them nor will they till shades of
evening begin to fall. Then, resignedlv,they

and in all respects be obedient to a power
higher than theirs. Success will entitle the
fair projectors to a practical application of
the doctrine that, “Ladies have some rights
which gentlemen are bound to respect.”

BRIDGEPORT.

immortal father of his country, cannot lie,
but yours of last week are at least open to
suspicion. The Bridgeport contribution for
the benefit of potatoe-less Ireland, has by no
means attained the magnificent proportions
intimated in your last issue. We said not
“$10,000" but $1,000. The estimate .was
made upon what seemed good authority.
But it appeared that even these figures are
prophetic rather than historid. The sum
total at this time is somewhere in the vicinity

meeting to further the worthy charity was
largely attended on Saturday evening, Jan.
24th.. Several prominent citizens made elo-
quent appeals to the heart and purse of
Bridgeport. The impression upon the peo—
ple might perhaps have been better had not
several of these pleaders been in public life
with possible aspirations for the future. But
then, they were all honorable men, and the
cause in behalf of which they spoke is itself
eloquent in the ear of every lover of human-
ity. Poor old Patrick and Bridget must hot
be left to starve by the cold hearthstone of
their lowly cot. ‘

sary of the birthday of Robert Burns was
duly celebrated in this city on Monday even-
ing, Jan. 26th. This was a day late, but no
sane Scotchman’ would think of breaking
the Sabbath even to honor the memory of
the most revered of his fellow countrymen.
A large company, inost of whom could boast
the possession of Scottish blood, pure or
adulterated, sat down to the discussion 'of
the haggis and other appropriate'dishes, and
then rose up to the discussion of matters
more interesting. A witty and brilliant
poem was given by Col. S. B. Sumner, our
Bridgeport bard. 'Rev. B. G. S. McNeillc
spoke eloquently upon the “genius of Burns.”
Other addresses were made and songs were
sung and the hours sped joyously on until
midnight dispersed the Scotchmen to their
dreams. Probably amid the visions of the
night there came to them glimpses of old
Scotch beauty and grandeur, her fields of
heather and nodding blue bells. It is to be
feared thdt, after their rich repast, some of
them repeated in their dreams the experien—
ces of “Tam o’ Shantcr” or other fiend—beset
heroes of the immortal poet. Well, no mat-
ter; Burns is all right for another year.

On the same evening the Citizens’ Mutual
Life Insurance Company held its annual
meeting. This now includés about four hun-
dred members. Only one had dled during
the year, which speaks well for the wisdom
of the managers in their acceptance of ap—
plicants. 0n the death of any member, $2.15
are paid by each surviving member, and the
family of the deceased receives twice as
many dollars as there are persons at éhat
time in the company. This makes a cheap
and reliable insurance upon a somewhat
small scale.

The annual meeting of the Woman’s For—
eign Missionary Society, of this city, was
held on Wednesday at the Park street

and'they had everything their own way. No

the august assembly. Men may he heathen
and all that, but there are other heathen more
distant and consequently more enchanting.
who at this time received all the attention.
Not only were the Congregatmnal churches
of this city largely represented, but several
other towns in the County, including Nor-
walk, lent 'the presence of their fair and
devoted ones. Several. missionaries were
present and addressed the gathering. A
bountiful collation was served at noon. The
entire affair seems to have been a success.
There is great hope for the world in these
days when the ladies are setting themselves
so earnestly at work for its renovation.
They will be sure to undo something of the
evil wrought by their great predecessor, Eve.

The mention of this estimable though er—
ring ancestress reminds us that we have re-
cently seen her picture. The panorama of
“Paradise Lost” has been on exhibition at the
Opera House nearly all the week, It con—
sists of a series of.paintings, more than
forty in number, which are unrolled in order
amid such arrangements of gaslight and
shadow, crimson fires, thunder and lightning,
etc., as are supposed to give the best effect.
These represent the principal points in the
narrative of the. immortal poem. Some of
the scenes are very fine, especially those
which afford glimpses of the heavenly and
earthly Paradise. A few of the pictures are
repulsive; noticeably those that present the
Deity upon the throne. With all reverence
we affirm that we had never conceived of
the Almighty Father as wearing a full heard
of chestnut brown. But this panorama thus
pictures Him. After all, paint and canvass
rather weaken than strengthen the impres—
sion made by the almost inspired words of
the blind Milton.

According to‘the official figures returned
by the county treasurers for the year ending
November 30, 1876, the receipts of Fairfield
county were, says the Bridgeport Standard,
$31,371.95, and the expenditures $31,107.52,
leaving a surplus of $280313. The indebted-
ness of the county is $40,000. Hartford
county is the only county which is deeper
in debt than Fairfield county.- The receipts
of this county were greaterduring the year
than any other county in the State, and its
expenditures also. Hartford county had the
largest surplus, Middlesex next and Fairfield
third. -

corporations, and among the first of the large
companies to conform to the custom is the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York
whose annual report of the business of 1879
is presented in our columns to-day. Practi-
cally the pioneer. of Life Insurance in this
country upon the purely mutual plan,its emi-
nent success has been a source of gratifica—
tion, as demonstrating the exercise in a high
degree,of those concurrative qualities in man-
agements which are essential to prolonged
success. In the earlier years of a Life
Insurance Company, when incomes are large
and death claims few, the temptation to de-
part from sound and safe principles is very

- great, and in such departure lie the seeds of

dissolution and disgrace, which have so often
overtaken those who yield to such tempta—
tion. The thirty-seven years’ experience of
"the Mutual Life, is in itself a guaranty that
a consumative policy has prevailed, and the
Company has found itself so strong as to be
able to reduce its rates of premium, and yet
add largely to its assets, on the business of
1879. . ' .

Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Greek Locks, Ulster

lose the sight of one of her eyes, through an
accident, and endured painful inflammatory
actio therein for two long years :—the other
eye finally becoming sympathetically affected,
her general health seriously suffering; indeed,
she was a. mere wreck, a walking skeleton.
In this terrible strait, sho consulted Dr. David
Kennedy, of Readout, New York, who told
her at once that the injured eye must be re-
moved. Shc quietly but firmly said: “All
right, Doctor, but don’t give me chloroform.
Let my husband sit by my side during the
operation, and I will neither cry out or stir."
The work was. done, and‘ the poor woman
kept her word. Talk of soldierly courage!
This showed greater pluck than it takes to
face a hundred guns. To restore her general
health Dr. Kennedy then gave the “ Favorite

garted new life to the long-suffering woman.

Celebrated Safe,

In. purchasing aSafe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.

~ lat. Our “PATENT Ixsmn BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus '
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. Inall other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to 011 or clean them without digging

losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our "PATENT Hmenn Car" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-serew,wln'ch
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simplrremoving the thumb-screw.

3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our Form—WHEEL Looks on all
safes, from the smallesttothe largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
41:11. All our Safes are mos-mun INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
'Safe’s being damp. .All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre~
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGEs instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors.
the champion; record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ityour safes have attained throughout the
country; After that great fire we published

‘ a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that

failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem--
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that .Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense best, we behaved that‘ we could im-
prove them, and we have. therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better thatf ever before.
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been.
our constant aim to make the BEST Sarn‘that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man—
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.
