in Smith’s Hall, on Friday evening, and like
its predecessors was an enjoyable affair.
Much credit is due to‘ Messrs, Thos. Brown,
David Shechan, J r., James Tully and the
others who were associated with them in
furnishing the opportunities for innocent
recreation to our young folks, and although
the pecuniary returns have not been large,
the managers should feel more than paid for
their trouble when the amount of enjoyment
is taken into consideration.

Mr. Cyrus Morgan was bound over to the
Superior Court; the decision of the justice
is not received with universal approbation,
and much sympathy is expressed for Mr.
Morgan. The evidence at the trial showed
that Mr. Morgan did not own the wagon,
and although he admitted taking the same
still he only did so at request of the owner.
Now that mining operations are so brisk
in adjoining towns, if some Wilton man
would only discover a vein of jujube paste,
and a gingerbread quarry, he woulddo much
to popularize himself with the rising genera-

While Mr. Lewis Bradley was calling on
a friend in Norwalk, Sunday, Feb, let, the
horse which he had fastened to the usual
post, broke away, and ran smashing a good
deal- of trouble. How Mr. B. got back to
Westport is not stated,
That rarest of occurrences, a run away ox-
team, and by the way, an ox can run when
he gets his dander up, though he be yoked
to another ox, was seen in the village a day
or two ago, and caused no little excitement.
Mr Edward A. Nash had been down to
“Compo” with his team and was returning.
Approaching the Village the oxen saw or
scented something in the air, and not liking
it pricked up their cars and dashed forward
with great'speed. Across the bridge they
thundered dragging the twelve hundred
pound cart after them, as if there was no
printed sit on the three thousand five
hundred dollar draw, beseeching them to
maintain a. gait no faster than a common
walk. The bank folks at the west end of
the bridge saw ’cm coming, and at first, so
it is said, cashier Woodworth thought there
was going to be a raid on the bank, and did
not change his mind till he saw the danger
pass. The oxen managed to get loose from
the cart at Wheeler's corner, after which
they ran faster, but finally were captured,
and, like an‘ umbrella after a shower, were
“shut up"-——in the proprietor’s barn yard.
No damage done. '
The wind being from the east during Tucs-

There was experienced Tuesday night at
the hotel, something of the old—time enjoy—
ment which characterized all entertainments
given at that place, when it was kept by the
renowned Fairchild, and later by one “Hez,”
Nichols. The occasion was a social dance
and supper managed by the ladies, who,
taking advantage of their leap year preroga-
tives invited the gentlemen, waited on them,
and performed their respective parts with
that grace and ease for which the sterner
sex have so long been esteemed by the fair 1
a hem? No regrets were sent in reply to
the cards of invitation. The invited who
were very prompt in their arrival, were not
in the hands of the ladies till eight o’clock.
Then Mons. Oien and his coadjutor struck
the sound of chords on violin and voil, and
there was harmonious proceedings all round.
The ladies escorted their guests to seats and
none were permitted tochoose partners with-
out first consulting them, nor was any gentle-
men allowed to go down stairs between
dances—just to take a breath of fresh air,
you know. If the ball room ventilation
needed regulating, the ladies did it. If a
gentleman felt chilly after 8. Reel or a
Straight Four, he was at once enveloped in
his partner's shawl. In fact all the gentle-
men had to do was to breathe the air and be
happy, and they declared ghey were treated
as well if not a little better than they had
been all the time during the past four years.
Supper was the crowning glory of the night,
and helped to show how complete a banquet
is sure to be, when ladies manage it, and
that they are good judges of cigars was
shown after supper when they offered a brand
the like of which had not often lately favored
even the oldest smokers. Some of those who
had. heretofore bought their best from five
cent stands were loud in Welcoming a change
and the fullest scope as to time was accorded
all to test the same. The occasion was a
success in every particular, and time and
again the question was asked, not in the
form of a toast. “The ladies”, what can be
done without them.” At table, it should
be mentioned, on motion of Mr. Win. J.
Finch a vote of thanks was given the ladies.
Mrs. D. S. Gray and Mrs. Wm. J. Finch
acted as floor managers, and Mrs. Wm. T.
Wood as treasurer reported plenty of money
to pay all bills. These and lots of 'other
ladies acting as a sort of committee of the
whole, will accept thanks, (we speak for the
crowd) and permit us before this leap year is
out, to again dance and enjoy ourselves “In
the shadow of their win gs.”' PAUL.
The forty-seventh anniversary of the Snug-
atu'ck Congregational Sunday School which
was postponed from the second Sunday in
January, was held in the church, Sunday
afternoon. The services began promptly at
2 p. m. with the hymn “Praise the Lord,”
sung by the school; after the singing, Rev.
Mr. Hart read the 90th Psalm, which was
followed by sprayer, after which another
hymn was sung. , .
It is customary for each class to make an
offering at this service called an anniversary
offering and a .New Years gift. '
‘The bringing np‘of the offerings of the
female classes took place at this time. The
total: amount given by these classes was
$47.77, the offerings being presented to the
superintendent accompanied by a card con-
taining the name of the class, number of
scholars, name of teacher and motto of the
class. . -
After the offerings had been handed in,
Rev.E Mr. Densmore, the missionary from
Michigan to whom the Sunday School send
a certain sum each year, and from whom
theyfreceive a letter each month, who was
present, gave an interesting account to the
school, of the manner of prosecuting his
work. that of founding Sunday Schools in
the Wilda of Michigan, and of the use to
which the money collected and sent to him
by them, was put. After his remarks the
offering-of the male classes were received
which amounted o $24.91.
Mr. Frederick Bradley, Secretary and
Treatzurergthen read his report in which he
stated, that the amount on hand at the close
of last year was $62.71. Amount received
during the year from all sources $179.48.
and after paying all expenses there remained
$77.80 ; thus the school is better of! finan—
cially than at the close of last year. As
secretary he reported one hundred and forty
six scholars 'conncctcd with the school;
Number of scholars erased from roll 12,
and 17 new scholars admitted.
. The distribution of premiums which were
given for regular attendance, and memoriz—
ing portions of scripture was interesting and
rather lengthy as many had performed the
required task and were entitled to receive
them, more we think than during any prev—
ious year. .
The address by the pastor, on account of
the. length of time occupied by the other ex—
ercises was brief. A single verse of the
hymn “Ten Thousand times ten Thousand"
was sung. followed by prayer by Rev Mr.
Densmore.
The closing hymn “Shall we meet beyond
the River," was sung by the entire congre—
gation. Although the services had been very.
lengthy, yet, they had been so full of inter-
est that the flight of time was unheeded and
one could. not fail to see, that looking for-
ward to these pleasant anniversary occasions
cannot fail to awaken and keep alive on the
part of its members an interest in the school.

At a regular meeting of the Court of Bur-
gesses, held on Wednesday evening last, the
petition of E. Sivitcr and others asking for
a sewer on portions of Barnum and Lake
streets, was read and accepted. The clerk
was instructed to notify the property owners
on said streets to appear before the Court on
Wednesday evening Feb. 18th, and be heard
as to the expediency of granting said peti-
tion. Fred Bogart was appointed a police-
man for the ensuing year, and Frank A.
Rich elected Captain of the Police. A pe—
tition relative to the opening and grading of
Chapel street, was referred to the street
committee, with power to act.
The question, Resolved, “That the printing
press has worked more injury than good,”
was discussed at the Lyceum on Friday even-
ing last, and a decision rendered in favor of
the negative. The subject for discussion
on Friday evening next is, Resolved, “That
wealth exerts more influence than knowledge
does.”
A few days ago, we saw an extract from
a democratic paper, stating that one of its
subscribers had ordered his paper stopped
because it printed the advertisement of the
New York Tribune. The paper said that
“asses occasionally concealed :their ears in
their boots and crept into, the democratic
party." Well we know of .some people who
show just about as much common sense as
the person referred to.
Apropos of political fastenings the follow-
ing opinions are worthy of note:
The Cincinnati Commercial says : “The
friends of Blaine deserve great credit for
the firm cause they have taken, and the re-
sult shows that Blaine is in the front rank for
nomination.” .
The Hartford Gourmet says: “The demo—
crats would have nominated Grant in 1872,
if the republicans had not. It would be
much easier for them to take him up this
year than it was to take Greeley in 1872; and
with this additional advantage that if they
nominate him and he accept, he can’t be
beaten. For a shrewd political move nothing
could be finer. " W.

A Valentine’s Day Call.
BY OUR JACK.
At the door:
I have called for a moment to sec-you,
Just a moment to say how'dc do;
Don’t ask me to lay off my wrappings
For I’ve nothing-to say that is new,
You insist; but I can’t, I assure you,
For its late as you see, nearly nine,
And I only just wanted to hand you,
This here two-for-a-ccnt Valentine.
Inside :
The room looks bright and cheerful,
And the fire is all aglow,
The lamp on the table is burning,
Yet something annoys me so,
Can it be that the room’s too cheerful,
Is it there that. the trouble lies ?
Or is it that lamp on the table
The light shining straight in my eyes.

The Norwalk correspondent of the Stand
ard says that a Westport gentleman hitched
his horse in front of a house on Main street
Sunday evening last, preparatory to making
a call on a fair occupant of said house. The
evening was cold andthe horse became im—
patient with the length of the call, and after
pawing and neighing for several hours to no
purpose concluded to make for home with-
out further ceremony, which he did with
only the thills for company, the body of the
buggy being left’in the street not far from

The New Jersey Legislature has a. bill un-
der consideration providing for county asy-
lums for the insane and authorizing the
counties to place their insane wards in them.
At present there are two State Asylums in
New Jersey, one at Trenton and one at Mor-
ristown. The former was erected thirty
years ago at a cost of $600,000. The Asylum
at Morristown has lately been completed at a
cost of $2,500,000 and is now in operation.
There are 524 patients at the Trenton Asy-
lum and 394 Morristown. Before the
erection of thel e institution at Morristown
the overflow caused the erection of County
Asyluma in Essex, Hudson and Camden
Counties. The report shoWs that in the
County institution the cost is 50 per cent.
less than in the State Asylums for the care
of patients. But this in part is due to the
fact that the more incurable cases are sent to
the State Asylums, while the milder ones
are cared for in the County institutions.

The supreme court of, the United States is
having a good time ploughing round in the
fields deserted years ago by the issues of the
war. It has just decided' that slaves sent to
free states returning home voluntarily did
ire-enter slavery. The subject was alive
twenty years ago, and has even now a sort of
social interest. Another war question has
come up and been answered since this. In
1862 General Neal Dow took a lot of sugar
and other things for the United States army
from a plantation above New Orleans: The
owner sued Dow in a Louisiana court in
1862, and, Dow not appearing to defend, got
a verdict against him for default. Then the
case was taken to the United States ‘Court in
Maine, and there judgment was given against
Dow for the full amount and costs. Dow ap-
pealed to the supreme court and that body
has reversed the judgment, holding the
Louisiana court had no jurisdiction, and
declaring “that an officer or soldier of the
army of the United States, while in service
during the into war in the country, which
acknowledged the authority of the confed-
erate government—that is, in the enemy's
country—was not liable to a civil action in
the courts of that country for injuries result-
ing from acts of war, ordered by him in his
military character, nor cm he be called upon
to justify or explain his military conduct in
a civil tribunal upon any allegation of the in-
jured party, that the acts complained of were
not justified by the necessities of war. The
state courts which are allowed by the army
of occupation to continue in existence in an
enemy's country are sustained for_thc bene—
fit of the inhabitants of that country and not
for the control of the army or of its officers
and soldiers."

It will surprise most people to learn that
there are no less than sixty-seven silk mills
in New Jersey, most of which are in Pater-
son. The Paterson mills alone employ 13,000
hands,and the annual production of the mills
reaches the enormous total of $14,000,000.
There has been an immense growth in the
silk industry at Paterson, and it is predicted
that in five years, and perhaps sooner, that
city will exceed Lyons in the value of its
silk production.
Legislative CorreSpondence.
HARTFORD, Feb. 7, 188d
Mr. Watrous, President of the New York.
New Haven 85 Hartford Railroad Company,
this morning transmitted to_ the House cop-
ies of the following contracts and statements
called for by Mr. Colyer’s resolution of the
House two weeks since: The contract of the
Boston and New York Air Line railroad with
the New York and New Haven Railroad
Company ;. the lease of the Harlem River and
Port Chester Railroad Company, or lease
from New York and Harlem Railroad to the
New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail~
road Company. and the annual rent paid by
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company. to the Harlem Railroad
Company for the use of- the Grand Central
depot, taxes, water rates, etc.
[The above are the papers which our neigh-
bor of the Democrat thought it “child’s play"
for Mr. Colycr to have asked for. Mr. Wa-
trous knew the power of the House under
the constitiition;too well to attempt to throw
its mandate in the “waste basket" as our.
friend suggested. The Hepburn R. R. Corn-
mittcc of the New York Legislature which
has lately done such effective work in uncov-
ering rail road abuses, was a. committee ap»
pointed by the House only, in which the New
York Senate took no part. 'If friend Palmer
“ laughed any of the buttons 01)“ his clothes" he
had better get them qdickly replaced lest he
continue to expose a portion of his person
more wisely kept covered.
On Friday in the House, a petition was
presented by Mr. Rowan, of Norwalk, pro-
hibiting dredging for oysters on natural oys—
ter beds in Norwalk harbor from the south
end of the light-house beds, thence easterly
and northerly, including all the natural beds
inside the Norwalk islands to the Westport
line. Also a bill amending the South Nor-
walk chnrtcr by striking out from “violation”
in the 98th, to “shall" in the 103d line and
substituting "of all ordinances and by-liiws
of said City.” ' . .
A bill was presented by Mr. Johnson, of
Easton, providing for the survey of real cs-
tate for the purpose of correct assignment
and taxation.
Another by Mr. Raymond of New Canaan
requiring all insurance corporations, other
deposit of $100,000 before being allowed to
do business in this state. Also, that every
corporation shall keep a list of its stockhold-
ers, which shall be subject to the inspection
of any stockholder.
Another bill was introduced by Mr. Gard-
ner, of Derby, that it may be optional instead
of obligatory with county commissioners to
license persons recommended by sclectmen.
The legislative judiciary committee has
voted 7 to 2 to report in favor of ratifying

Suggestion.
Will the honorable Court of Burgesses ex-
plain the propriety of lighting the street
lamps two hours before it is required. Last
Sunday evening, the lamps in our vicinity
were lighted, while‘ the sun was yet shin-
ning. Certainly two hours before there was
any necessity for'it. .
Now would it not be as well to light up
about seven o’clock instead of about five
o’clock, and then let it burntwo hours later.
This would afford better facilities to our small
police force, and be of not a little service to
those whose privilege it is to attend the even-
ing entertainments. '
Or if the lamps are lighted at seven, and
put out at ten, then we save two hours
each day; and according to the Gas Bills
that are ordered paid monthly, the cost per
hous is about five cents, or about ten dollars
a day, which for a year would be $30.50,
which would lessen the burden to which the
borough tax-payers are now subject.
We do hope that if we have got to stand
this burdensome expense, that we may have
the light, when it will serve the people
best.
Further, there are a few places in the Bor—
ough when there are no walks, and where
there are at least two cripples in consequence
thereof, who have a legitimate right to bring
suits of law for the injuries sustained, and
yet this is in a neighborhood where the
neighbors were ordered to lay down their
walks in the dead of winter.
Petition, after petition has been presented,
to have these places put in proper shape and
all to no purpose. Why is this thus. We
would like to suggest the sidewalk on the
North side of Mott AVCIl—llé be relaid.

“Nepotism” does not excite the wrath of
Democratic journals as it did once. Perhaps
they are restrained by such facts as that
among the clerks of the Senate committees,
at salaries of $2,000 to $2,500 a year, are
Senator Eaton’s son, Senator Morgan’s son,
Senator Vance's son, Senator Johnston’s son,
Senator Withers’ son, Senator Wallace’s son,

O
Singular" Accident.
Some notice has been given in the papers
of a singular accident which happened to
Captain .Mtll‘k C. Turner, a well-known car—
penter of this city. Crossing Main to Pearl
street on the evening of December 30th he
missed his footing and fell. Acquaintances
near went to his assistance, 'when he was
found to be partly unconscious. He was
taken to his home in Pearl street, where it
was discovered that he was wounded in the
breast. The .wound had the appearance of
being a knife wound, and the marks on the
vest and underciothing appeared to have
been made with a knife. Singularly, upon
regaining consciousness, Mr. Turner was
entirely unable to give any account of the
accident. Dr. Howe was called and probed
the wound to within half an inch of the heart,
'but failed to discover anything inside. The
patient grew worse and Dr. Howe called
several councils of surgeons but the case
seemed for the time being to battle their skill
and his life was despaircd of. On Saturday,
the 11th of January, the wound began to
discharge offensive matter in large quanti-
ties, which continued until the following
Friday, when to the surprise of every one,
small pieces of lead began to make their
appearance. Probing was resorted to again,
and this time a ,hard substance was struck.
Monday the 27th, the knife was used and
Dr. Howe succeeded in getting hold of a
pencil, but for sufficient reasons he concluded
not to remove it until yesterday, when he
grappled it again and succeeded in removing
a lead pencil sis: and fivé-cz‘ghts malice long!
It was split in liulves, but nearly all the lead
came out with the wood. . . .
The pencil was usually carried in the ill-Side
pocket of the overcoat, and had been driven
through that pocket, the vest and undergar-
ments by the fall.
" The patient is as comfortable as could be
expected, and the physicians think he Will
pull through all right—Gounod.
"—0-.-
A pen may be driven, but the pencil does
best when it is lead.
In Sullivan county, N. Y., two farmers re-
cently found twenty-seven rattlcsnakcs under
one stone. .

The ingredients of Dr. D. Kennedy’s latest
discovery in medicine—a preparation named
the “Favorite Remedy,” and sold at One Dol-
lar a bottle, are so skillfully combined that
the full alternative effect of each is assured;
and while it is so mild as to be harmless, even
to the youngest child, yet it is so effective as
to purge out from the system those impurities
of the blood which are otherwise sure to de-
velop into loathsome disease, such as Scrofula
and kindred complaints.
This medicine is for sale by all druggists.
