The Executive Committee of the Mechan~
ics Library Association have decided to
change the evening for taking books
from its library, to Friday instead of Satur-
day evening as heretofore. Mr. John J.
West has been appointed librarian in place of
Mr. Geo. Buttery. .
Several mornings during the past two
weeks the mail-bag has been sent from our
post-olficewith “nothing in it,” much to the
disgust of our P. M. whose “take” is a com-
mission upon the stamps canceled at this of-
fice. .
A nomadic photographer struck a bonanza
here last week; he succeeded in taking 9?
ccllent views of the Norwalk Mills with
group of operatives, groups each of the oper-
atives in the finishing. weaving, andspinning
departments; stereoscopic groups of each de-
partment of the public school, one of the
Lounsbury d7 Bissell 00. Mill, and several
private residences.
Old Oaken Bucket Lodge of Good Temp-
lars will hold a Strawberry Festival at
Smith's Hall on Thursday and Friday eve;
nings next, for the purpose of replenishing
their depleted treasury. The geod things of
the season will be there in sufficient quantities
to serve the friends of this excellent institu-
tion, and all who love a good time should
not fail to be there. ..
The voters of the North West School Dis-
trict assembled at the school house last
Tuesday evening, and held their annual
meeting. The reading of the Treasurer's
and Committee’s reports for the past year and
the election of officers for'thc year ensuing,
was all the business transacted. The fol—
lowing officers were elected: Committee, B.
S. Keith, Fletcher Pierce, Andrew Hutch-
inson. Clerk, Edwin Northrop. Treasurer,
J. C. Randle. Collector, A. Hutchinson.
The Lounsbury and'Bissell 00., showed
their patriotism by closing their works on
Decoration Day.
Our friend J. C. Randle, who is the very
soul of business integrity, also seems to be
an extremely well balanced individual and
proposes to keep so, although some may
think his last, venture a very scaly one.
Bran new hay scales,.Fairbanks best. New
butter scam and thorough repairs on his
counter and finer scales seems to me to be
good evidence that Joe desires to be honest,
and like his ancient namesake (the one Mrs.
Potiphar tried to flirt with) when tempted
to do wrong says: “Oh no, no, not for Joe."
Mr. T. H. Gibson who for the past two and
a half years has been dyer at the Nor-walk
Mills, has left that establishment for a more
lucrative position with the Lawrence Woolen
00., Lawrence Mass.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey S. Johnson of New
York, have been enjoying their honeymoon
in our quiet village, the guests of Mr. A.
Hutchinson. They returned to the busy city
yesterday.
RIDGEFIELD.
The rains proved a blessing, but the grass
crop had been injured beyond redemption.
The hay yield must be extremely small.
Miss Turner who has been telegraph oper-
ator here for a few weeks has left. and Mr.
Williams, of Georgetown, has taken her
place. .
Gen. Rufus H. King, of Albany, is build—
ing a handsome house on High Ridge.
Mr. McCarg, of New York, is to erect a
large and fine mansion on the Ridge immedi—
ately. Aaron Lee is laying the foundation.
J. Howard King and family will occupy
their summer residence here about the 15th.
P. C. Lounsbury "and family arrived last
week.
Already many 'summer boarders have
come.
J. Howard King gave the Library three
hundred volumes last week. and his check
for $20. The library is growing so rapidly
a fin? proof building is nuded. Will our
wealthy citizens supply the need. _‘
The time for festivals has arrived. The
library committee hope to be first in the field
next Tuesday night the 15th.
S. J. Barlow is read surveyor, and we
look for great improvements in our Main
street.
G. T. Johnson has introduced the first
bicycle. ‘ .
Dr. Adams has the game of lawn tennis on
his grounds.

Wc’await the nomination at Chicago with
fear and trembling.
The Dramatic Club has in preparation. the
costume‘play David Garrick, and expect to
give it June 236. Due notice will be given.
GEORGETOWN.
On Sunday morning 30th of May, George—
town was robbcd of one of its most valued
citizens; Sturges Bennett, Senior, died from
a stroke of apoplexy, lingering five days in
an unconscious state. Mr. Bennett, at the
. time of his death, was President of the Gil-
bert-Bennett Manufacturing Company, he
being the second president having been re-
moved within a year by death. Mr. W. W.
Beers having previously occupied'that posi-
tion passed away last August. This company
feel sadly the loss of two such valued men,
Mr. Bennett having been one of its founders
and its ~oldest member has devoted his life
work to its interests, and through sunshine
and shadow, has been untireing in his devo-
tion to business. In their disasters a few
years since of fire, and subsequent failure,
his firm and true principles helped much to
secure sympathy, and retain confidence;
his good judgment and counsel have always
been successful when carefully followed.
For a year or two past, the great strain of
businass troubles has shown itself in his re-
laxed activity, and having seen 75 years of
age his friends had little hope of a return to
his former vigor.
The Congregational Church has also lost a
devoted member, as in his business career,
he was nntireing in his 'masters service; his
firm unfaltering faith and trust in his God
were always expressed in prayer and con-
ference meetings; he never failed to witness
for Christ, he acknowledged the claims of
the church in him both financially and spirit-
ually, and. was ever prompt to meet its de-
mands as far as his means would permit;
his seat with :but few exceptions is va—
cant now for;the first time. Who shall his
mantle fall on ? is now the important ques—
tion. He was an ardent. champion of tem-
perance, ever pleading for restraint upon
both seller and drinker; ever counselling,
advising in his quiet manner all who were
way-ward, all who were unfortunate; his
heart and band ever open to the calls of the
distressed and needy; his cheerful, pleasant
face will long be retained in the minds and
hearts of this community. ' A. B. C.

The ladies of the Third M. E. church, will
give a Strawberry Festival at the church:
near Five Mile River Landing, on the even-
ings of Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Refreshments will be provided in abundance,
and all who attend may be sure of enjoyinga
pleasant evening.
GREENWICH.
Judge Sanford, of the Superior Court, ap—
pointed as Commissioners to determine value
of land about to be taken by_ the Greenwich
Water Company, the followrn'g named per-
sons: Ex-Judge Origen S. Seymour, of Litch.
field, Mr Thomas Sanford of Bedding. and
Josiah Wilcox of Greenwich.
STAMFORD.
Dr. Geib is in London. .
J. Short has started anew Brass Band- .
E. T. W. Gillespie,of the Advocate,contrrb-
uted a “Decoration Day Poem” for the Me-
morial services.
The Town Hall was crowded at the Me-
morial exercises, flowers were in profusion,
and atboom was started for a Soldier’s Mon-
umen . ' . .
WESTPORT.
At a social party held on the cast—side one
day last week, a number of young ladies de—
tected a gentleman present in the act of tel-
ling an untruth. At that particular juncture
it was considered a great outrage. A femi-
nine court was at once organized, the culwit
brought before ’ it, and after witnesses had
been examined a verdict of “guilty in the
first degree" was pronounced. In accord.
ance with‘ sentence, the prisoner, whose
prompt motion for. a new trial was refused.
was led to the sink-room, placed under the
pump and his mouth thoroughly washed out
by his fair triers. .
Mr. Lewis Bradley of the hotel, proposes
to be one of a party of gentlemen to take
,Christ church cemetery in hand, and person-
ally assuming the expense set in order and
beautify it. Little more has been done to
the grounds since their opening to the public
in 1852, than to trim the grass yearly. As a
result the walks, originally well laid, are
overgrown with turf and every summer it is
difficult to make one's way among the
graves. A small outlay and some labor will
accomplish a desirable result. The tendency
of people just now is towards that loveliest of
tracts, Willow Brook, but this movement 'if
it shall gain favor need not detract from the
same. .
On ‘Mr. Noah W. Bradley’s place there
stands an elm seventy feet high and fifteen
feet iii circumference near the root. Its
branches extend eighty-one feet east and
west, and nearly the same distance north
and south. At noon this tree casts a shade on
nearly 5,000 square feet of ground. It is
supposed to have been planted as far back as
1800. Mr. B. has also a willow and a pop-
lar tree, each twelve feet in circumference.
At the west of his house is a bogtree four—
teen feet high with branches extending sev—
enteen feet north and south. It is unquest—
ionably the. largest box in Fairfield county.
Mr. Bradford Wood, of Albany, N. Y.,
now eighty years of age, finds his way often
to this,his native place. Last week, speaking
of the drouth, he told the writer that while
fields here were suffering for want of 'rain his
locality had been favored with frequent show.
crs. He alluded to his residence in the town
of Fairfield in the summer of 1821, at which,
:time New York city, considerably smaller
than it is now,was smitten with yellow fever,
which raged _so long and furiously that the
city below city- hall was fenced off from the
rest of the world, and all communication
ceased. In September following what is
familiarly known as “The Great Gale” took
place, devastating fields and forests through-
but this part of the country. One circum-
stance in connection with that gale he could
not forget, by reason of its singular features.
The water which ran from his roof in Fair-
field was ihpregnated with salt, caused, as
can be abundantly shown, by the fierce
winds carrying inland the spray from the
crests or the waves of the sound. When
here, Mr. Wood is always the guest of his
sister, Miss Althea Wood, now in her
eighty-fourth year. . -
The census enumerators have thus far
been courteously received, and they report
good advancement in their important work.
Their first appearance with huge folios under
their arms suggested the much dreaded-book
agent, buts merry twinkle of thc'eye, and a
word or two of explanation quieted all fears.
According to tradition there must always
be what farmers style a “sheep storm” in
May. Firmly behaving in-the truth of this
Mr. Edward H. Nash pbstponed his sheep
shearing till June 2d. -. As if conforming to
usage it rained that day. .
Rev. and Mrs. John R. Williams will this
week attend the wedding of a neice of theirs
Vin Poughkc'epsie, N. Y. -
' Eighteen bass,the largest of which weighed
upward of 40 pounds,was caught Friday in a
siene at the mouth of the river.
Wood’s carpet-bag factory is to be enlarged,
and water power introduced. Mr. John Cot-
ter, of N orwalk, has the contract for putting
in a new turbine wheel for the establishment.
.Though inadvertence last week the names
of Peter Lewis, 17th C. V., and Burr Robin-
son, 2d Conn., Heavy Artillery, were omitted
in the report of graves decorated, May 30.
Delegates from both Episcopal churches
will attend the 96th annual Dimsan Con—
vention to be held this (Tuesday) morning in
Hartford.
The health of Judge of Probate E. J. Tay-
lor is reported as improving.

Messrs G. H. Nash and S. G. Taylor. occu-
py land adjorning. They pasture cattle there.
on. Taylor’s land is nearer than Nash’s, and
N. to save himself the trouble of going round
to the regular entrance, took the liberty of
driving his cattle through a tract of woods
attached to T’s. land. N. did not always go
personally with the cattle, but sent one of his
children. When T. found out what N.was
doing,he took steps to stop him by forbidding
the children to drive the cattle in. The result
was N. now and then found his property
roaming at large in the highway. This excit-
ed him especially when he learned that T. had
put up the job. ' Meeting T. shortly after, N.
proceeded to give him a piece of his mind,
much T. took returning as good as he sent.
N. followed this, so report says, by striking
T. a heavy blow on the left breast. but it
does not appear that T. was materially injur-
ed thereby. The two parted with their risa-
bles highly wrought up,and rumor says a suit
at law is likely to follow The parties being
each possessed of property, the gossips are
trying to make capital for the edification of
their friends. T. has not yet brought suit,
and N. expecting every day he will do so, is
reaching his pastures by the round about way.
Mrs. Ann R. Hill and daughter J ulia‘have
decided to start in September next for Port—
land, Oregon; where Mr. Joseph W. Hill,
Mrs. Hill’s son, is stationed. They expect
to be absent one year.
The numerous friends of Mr. E. S. Wheel-
er, of Saugatuck will be glad to learn that his
health is rapidly improving. “PAUL."
DARIEN.
A. M. Gardner, Esq., has purchased of
Captain Sands Selleck the house he has so
long occupied. It is located on the hill—side
south of the residence of C. W. Loundsbury's.
. When painted and the grounds graded, it will
make a pleasant home. -
Mr. Lyon has been doing a grand work on
his place. He has removed rocks, built
walls and done some fine grading. He has
a well planned and a commodious barn nearly
completed. Such improvements, add much
to the beauty and pleasures of a town.
Mr. L. will have a delightful home when his
plans are all carried on}.
Captain Brady has caused an excellent
walk to be constructed along the whole south
front of his lot. This will be a great con-
venience. The Captain is one of our most
public spirited citizens. His buildings are
all kept freshly painted and in excellent re—
thc low; swampy lands west of Mr. Lyon's
and on the Turnpike. This might injure the
business of the doctors, but it would greatly
benefit the health of the public.
There was an interesting Missionary Con-
cert at the Congreg 'oual church, on Sun-
day evenin . Mrs. lesson read a paper on
the evange tion of;tlie Indians. It ought
'to be printed and read by all. Mrs. Brad.
ford prepared a paper of equal interest on
the conditions of woman in heathen and
Mahomedan lands. In contrasting the low
servile condition of woman in those coun.
tries, as the slave of man, with her condition
in America, the benign influence of the Gos-
pel, was clearly brought out. Tbs singing

Mr. Bradford's lecture to young ladies,was
deferred till next Sunday evening. The sub
ject is :——“True womanly Character.” There
can be no doubt judging from the past, that
there will be a full house, sud that all will be
interested and improved. ‘

BRIDGEPORT.
Memorial day Was well observed in our
city. On Sunday the graves were decorated
and in most of the churches allusion was
made to the war and its heroes. At the
Park street Congregational church which
had been suitably adorned for the morning
memmial service, a pleasant incident occurr—
ed in the evening. Mr, George W. Bain of
Louisville, Kentucky, a reconstructed rebel,
and a Mr. Kanouse of Illinois, who wasa
colonel in the Union army, met in its pulpit
as representatives of the temperance cause.
Over them hung the old flag and both allud—
ed touchingly to the events of the past dc-
cade and to the present condition of the
country. The southerner with his eloquence
charmed and thrilled his listeners, and all
stances, to be a most fitting conclusion of the
day.
On Monday “posing services were held
at' Seaside PM u memory of our fallen
braves. Rev. Dr. Powers gave the address
and Col. Sumner the poem. Nature put on
her loveliest garb and seemed in sympathy
with the sentiment of the people. As the
terrible war-scenes float backward and in a
measure disappear, the season that calls their
heroism into memory seems to enlist the
interest of more and more of our citizens.
Surely this is appropriate. The lily, the .rose
and the forget-me-not, shall in each recurring
May—time blend their sweetness over-the
soldiers grave, and the sleepers bravery and
sacrifice be honored in all the coming years.
During the past week Bridgeport has been
favored with the presence of Hon. E. B.
Washburne, whose name has so frequéntly
been mentioned among those of possible
presidential candidates. He is an older man
than many had supposed, apparently having
nearly or quite finished his three-score years
and ten. After the superb treatment that he
has here received as a guest of Hon. William
D. Bishop, we feel that in the case of his
elevation to the presidency Bridgeport would
not be forgotten! Not that it would be
mean enough to demand anything of him;
ii. is to modest for that; but it would rather
expect to furnish him a cabinet minister or
two! We know of gentlemen here who
would deny themselves sufiiciently to under -
take the responsibilities of such a position.
Great interest is felt here in the doings of
the National Convention, but, so far as we
know, pone of our people are attending it.
They have had a good opportunity to do so
as the excursion season is scarcely yet inaug-
England was in attendance, which will an—
swer every purpose. As we write the rc—
* suits of the Convention are not yet announc-
ed, but the Bla'ine men among us are al~
most bursting with the cheers with'which
would be sad, (for them) if those cheers
should never be called for. Personally we
are hoping to cheer for one who, as we
judge, is less of a politician and something
more of a statesman. His name is Edmunds,
But whatever the name, we are all hoping
foragood man. We notice that the old
GAZETTE is on hand in the person of its
chief, to look after that nominating business
alittle; which is well.
The census man, with his big book is pur-
suing us up-hill and down. Those questions
about age seem to cause the most disturbance
in the family. Yet we do not credit the
statement that some of our ladies report the
same number of years that they did at the
last census taking. That is a base slander
They invariably make it either greater or
less.
A number of sudden deaths have occurred
with us of late. In fact most of. the' deaths
seem to be sudden. The old protracted
methods of "taking off" are apparently laid
aside. Even consumption has adopted
“modern improvements” and quickly finishes
its work. It may be that this cutting short
of suffering is something for which to be
grateful; but the surprised and stricken sur-
vivors need specirl suppert and consolation.
Bridgeport is beautiful now. It could
never have been more embowered in trees
and radiant with flowers; its fair avenues are
attractive to resident and visitor. Business
is active—prosperity abounds, peace is in all
our borders. Only let the dram-shops and
their fruits be removed and there would be
little to mar the scene. But they are a huge
blot upon our comeliness, and our eager
questioning is, How long? Gasman.
. WEST STRATFORD.
Now cat' strawberries, and speculate as to
who will be the successful candidate at
Chicago.
What we priced is fewer candidates, and
more men who. can bury personal favoritism,
when their country’s good is in the balance.
Gentlemen give us a good candidate, one
whom we can all vote for.
The census ‘enumerator is abroad; his
questions fiy thick and fast; he asks about
fifty, besides an occasional one thrown in
now and then just for variety; well variety
is the spirit of life.
Some fine specimens of brook'trout are
being caught in this vicinity. ' A few days
ago we tried our luck. In summing up the
result was as follows: Torn clothes, blister-
ed hands, wet feet, but nary a trout; we tried
all our persuasive arts, the trout wore in the
brook,—and they staid there. '
Blackfish are being caught in large num-
bers off Stratford Light. , ~
Judging from appearances the “Rosedale”
is theifavorite steamboat among the people
of this place. The agent on the Bridgeport
dock is “Old Scofc” who occupied the posi-
tion of ticket agent at the Bridgeport depot
for so many years. Not to know him is to
miss a golden opportunity. He is always
polite, affable and obliging. Verily he is a
fixed institution amongst the traveling pub—
lic.
George G. Cofiin and Nyrum B. Hawley
have been appointed pound-keepers. and
Frank A. Rich and William H. Bunnell as
haywards. We hope they will attend to
their duties, as the large numbers of cattle
which has become unbearable.
Interesting services are being held nightly
at the rooms of the Faith Mission in Bridge-
port, and they have been very successful
during the past week, as large numbers of
converts have been made. Mrs. Smith has
recovered from her recent illness, and is now
able to conduct the services.
' Some of the finest strawberries that we
have seen in market thus far this season, are
tiliose raised by Benjamin Lewis of this
ace. '
Probably our neighbor “Paul” of West—
port can beat us on the strawberry question,
as the brothers Wakeman hail from that
vicinity. . . -
Pond lilies are in blossom, West Stratford
can’t be beat on the pond lily question.
Last Sabbath was an unusually quiet one
in the borough; the order of the Warden in
regard to Sunday picnics, etc., have had a
very beneficial effect.
A correspondent in the Bridgeport Far-
mer complains that the horse cars ke too
rapid time on State street in that city..
Well, well, who ever heard before of a_hors_c
car making too quick time. The article is
signed “Mcig,” meig might be used to better
advantage than in berating a company for
striving to accommodate the public. State
street people used to complain because the
cars made such slow time on that street,
perhaps “meig” was one of the grumblevr‘s.

Fairfield South-west Conference.
The annual meeting of the Fairfield South-
West Conference of the Congregational
Churches, was held at North Greenwich, on
Tuesday. At ten o‘clock a prayer meeting
was held, led by the Rev. Richard B. Bull,
followed by a sermon by the Rev. F.N. Pot-
ter, of Stanwich? A business meeting was
held at twelve o'clock when the officers for
the ensuing year were elected, Mr. M. E.
Mead, of Darien, being chosen moderator.
At the afternoon services the discussion upon
the theme : “The Evangelization of the poor
in-City and Country," was opened by the
Rev. Benj. F. Bradford, of Darien, followed
by the Rev. Mr. Alley, of Banksville, Rev.
Richard B. Bull, Rev. Mr. Scovilie of Stain.
ford. and the Rev. Mr. Watt, of Round Hill.
A buntiful collation to which ample justice
was done. and for which thanks are due the
ladies, was served on the grounds of the par-
sonage. There was a nod number present
at the meeting—Port [tester Journal.

An Interesting Stoi‘yL—A Hopeless Case
Cured by using Dr. ]{CII}IC{:‘}"$ ,
“Favorite Remedy."
Statement of Mr. \Vasliiri'p'tou Monroe, of Catskill,
Greene County. N. Y.
“For man ' years I had suffered from a
complaint which the physicians called Gravel.
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,
and for it long time my caso was regarded as
hopeless. All who know the circumstances
said I must (lie. Finally, my wife induced
me to try a. bottle of Dr. Kennedy’s ‘ Favorite
Remedy,’ which she had somewhere heard of
or seen advertised. Without tho slightest
faith in it, but solely to gratify her, I bought
bottle of n. druggr in our village. I used
but and two or three bottles more, and—to
make a. long story short—I am now as healthy
is man as there is in the country.
- “ Since then I have recommended ‘Favorito
Remedy' to others whom I knewto have suf-
fered from Kidnc y and Liver complaints; and,
I assure the.public, that the ‘Favoritc Rem-
cdy’ has done its work with a similar com-
pleteness in every single instance, and I tr“
some other sick and discouraged mortal may
hear of it and try the ‘Favoritc Remedy,’ as
I did.” 3
