Pecbies has been doing valiant service of late, as State detective, in ferriting out the violators of the license law. Miller, who has a saloon near the Stamford line, and the proprietor of the Daricn House,were brought before Justice Lounsbury, last Friday, for opening their places on Sunday. Both were found guilty on two charges and fined eighty dollars and costs each. An appeal was taken to a higher court. ' They were arrested be- fore leaving the room on a number of other complaints, which are to be tried soon. Lawyer Scofield did himself great credit on the side of the State. Why should not such law breakers be classed with other criminals and be cverlastingly disgraced? _ The congregational Sunday school 15 to give a concert next Sunday evening. It will no doubt be an interesting occasion. Under the superintendance of Deacon A: ll. Sco- ficld, the school is constantly growmg both in numbers and interest. It was never so large as at the present time. The audiences at the Congregational church were unusually large last 7 Sunday. Mr. Bradford’s sermons were productions of great eloquence and power. In the evening he spoke on the subject of Temperance. We wish the sermon was in print and could be read by every father, citizen and Christian. Such sermons always do good. a ‘ GEORGETOWN. The last lead of bay has been gotten in. Not many stacks of hay will be visible in this vicinity,‘ the barns all being large enough to accommodate the light crop. The gar— dens have all been relieved from the dronth and housewives are rejoicing in a full sup - ' ply of vegetables; Thcre are quite a number of city boarders in and around our place enjoying the wild and romantic scenery. Dr. Tanner’s case is being watched with a good deal of interest, and if his test is suc— cessfui more boarders will be taken here another season. Some of the children from the city are to have a Home Missionary Meeting to night and are to sell their manufactured articles, ice cream &c., for the benefit of an old lady who has spent a long life in usefulness, but is now disabled. On Friday evening of this weekarare treat is in store for all who have not. leisure or money to travel in foreign countries. Representatives from nine different countries in their native costume will appear ina dialogue with America. The topic will-be “Sowing Light” to be seen in the Congrega- tional church, together with views in China, all for the little sum of fifteen cents... Who would miss such an opportunity. The ministers vacation is at hand, and we are to look at a closed church for four weeks unless some stray city pastor should be turned loose and in his wanderings should take compassion on us. The Methodist church- is always open, no tired wornout ministers there. Could they give _their receipe to others what a boon would they confer—but of course we do not complain!

During the “late unpleasantness” we often picked up a newspaper, and almost the first thing that would great our eyes, was, “All quiet along the Potomac” We might change it now, and say all quiet in West Stratford. The Danbury News says some one threw a beer bottle through a window in Stratford, and the offense was all the more aggravating because the bottle was ompty,—but the case of the Danbury man who had to be pulled off the railroad track in Bridgeport, one day last week, beats that. He wanted to thrash the locomotive. It was the second attempt of the kind within a short time, and in both cases the aggression has hailed from Dan— bury. Perhaps Dahbury temperance drinks and Bridgeport ozone don"t. mix well. ' Not a thousand miles from this town there lives a sable lady of African desent, who is the mother of six small pioanininys. She is surrounded by neighbors who are de- scendants of the emerald isle. Not long since, the children of the neighborhood were all playing together, when out comes Dinah, and gives the following command: “Child— - ren"! come right straight in the house, and don’t you let me catch you playing wid dem ar’ youngin’s agin, fust you know people ’11 say you’re Irish.” Richard Gedney, formerly a West Strat— ford boy, but now a resident of Flint, Mich, is visiting his relatives in this place. He brings one of Michigans fair daughters with him as his wife. A few days ago some thief entered Walk- er’s saloon, and stole a bottle containing a quart of brandy.

The heartfelt sympathy of all good vil- lage ladies is‘ extended to Mrs. Sames Hart in her peculiar affliction which is, that on a certain day last_week, it being her 33d birth- day. She canned 33 jars of fruit—one jar to represent each year, and placed the jars on a table in her kitchen. The table gave way under the precious weight during her temporary absence, and the jars falling to the floor, were all broken excepting three. The fa'ct that she was able to literally swim in sweetmeats for n time could not. compen— sate for hefloss, which was nearly total. Mr. Thomas D. Elwood, has been chosen teacher of the school in the East Saugatuck School District.- A penny of English coinage bearing date 1530 has been found on the Chapman farm by George F. Perry. A Miss Kelly while at work in Wood's Satchel factory had two fingers of the right hand cut 011' by a pasting machine one day last week. The funeral of the late S. H. Alden. who‘ died Friday, July 9th, at the house of Mrs. George Blackman, was attended from “Com- po” house, his former home, now occupied by his daughter, Mrs. D. C. Birdsell, on Sunday afternoon, July 11th. The occasion awakened and thoughts. A large number of the real friends of the deceased were in at— tendance, Rev. Mr. _Lewis ofiiciated. The remains were taken to Albany, N. Y., for burial. The pleasant faces of the Misses Jackson are again seen among us. They re occupy their country home on Wright street. Mr. G. Kinner of Danbury, and S. D. Wheeler of this place, shot at glass balls a few days since, on Mr. Frank Burritt’s grounds, the stake being $25. Mr. K. broke 46 out of 50 to Mr. W’s 40, and carried off the‘ prize. The body of Merrill Selleck of New York, drowned in the river near the railroad bridge Friday evening was recovered early Satur- day morning by oystcrmen who employed seines lighted by eel lamps. Deceased was 33 years of age, and had been an invalid 15 years. He was bathing in the riverat the time of the casualty, and is supposed to have been taken with a kind of fits to which he was subject, and sank to the bottom before assistance could reach him. Last Wednesday for the third time in three years there was lively stirring among the grass which grows on the Staples—Carver disputed strip of ground. Mr. Staples un— dertook to out the grass and while thus engaged was accosted by Mrs. Carver, who ordered him off. This he declined to do, questioning her authority to interfere with him, and as she alleges, he seized and forci— bly dragged her off the premises. For this not she got out a grand jury complaint charging Mr. Staples with assault and bat- tery. He was subsequently brought before Justice Finch and fined. He filed a de- murrer and appealed his case giving bonds in the sum of $100 for his. appearance at the next term of the Superior Court. A crowd of curious people had assembled in the court room expecting to hear some racy' testimony of the witnesses. The‘y were disappointed as the venerable bank president came without counsel and conducted his own case. A fair estimate of °the value of the grass growing on the disputed‘ strip of ground is $5, Before the legal fight now begun, ends, it is believed money enough to buy ten tons of hay at $20 a ton will have been spent by the contestants. Mr. Staples says the records show that about the year 1842 John Carver lst, deeded to Anson Gray, one quarter of an acre of ground bounded on the north and west by road, east by brook, ending on the south. The deed does not say one quarter of an acre more or less,~but simply one quarter of an acre. This same land was in '1855.deeded to John Carver 2d, and by' him deeded to Stephen Carver, and in view of these facts Mrs. Carver has no legal right to the strip of ground, and was wholly wrong in the action taken by her against him. » The Rev. Samuel Nichols who died Friday the 16th aged 93, at his home, Greenfield Hill, was well known to the people here, be having officiated often in Christ church, particularly during the rectorship of the late lamented Mr. Frisbie nearly 30 years ago. He was a very learned man, and while his method and ways savored so strongly of the early times to which he belonged as to make him seem eccentric, he was nevertheless an earnest and good man. The New York Herald says he was probably the oldest Episcopal clergyman in the United States. He graduated at Yale, class of 1811. Mr. Jesse Bradley,of Saugatuck, who has been ill for two weeks, is slowly recoyer- mg. Capt. John Bulkley’s schooner, the James K. Polk, while 0E Greenwich harbor a day or two ago, settled on a fluke of her anchor which made a large hole in her bottom, and sank. She was pumped out, raised, and will be repaired. . The New York Herald of Sunday July 18th says: Friday afternoon, Mr. S. R. Sexton, a merchant, was passing through the inner doorway of the Grand Central Depot, at 42d street to take a train for his residence here. There was a large number of persons gathered about the door. A burly looking ,man, who seemed anxious to pass toward the train seized Mr. Saxton’s arm and exclaimed, “Here! here! what are you doing? and why do you persist in thushelp— ing to block up the way,” or words to that effect. Mr. Saxton made no answer to the insulting remark, and gave' bin? further thought till after taking a seat in the smok— ing car of the train. Then he discovered the absence of- a wallet containing $600 in greenbacks, coupons of U. S. bonds, and other evidences of money. He ‘is positive that. the strange man who jostled him at the depot gateway stole it when he rudely raised his arm and made the gruff remark as stated. The train moving through the tun- nci at the rate of thirty miles an hour to- ward Westport, rendered it impossible for him either to return to the city or commu- nicate with the New York authorities and on his arrival home he was unable to give even a fair description of the thief. IIc con siders his loss total. . Next Sunday,‘ Rev. Mr. Whittlesey, Agent of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry will present the claims of that Society to the people of Christ church. Messrs. C. W. Fernald, II. M. Peckham and Wm. Woodrow, the latter accompanied by his sister Miss Minnie Woodrow, all of Brooklyn, N. Y., are passing aportion of the summer at the house of Mrs. F.

Morgan, Deliver- ed at line First Congregational Church, Norwalk, Coun., by the Rev. Llewelyn D.‘ Bevttn. The very beautiful and touching reference to our departed friend which has just been made by my reverend brother renders it alto- gether unnecessary and indeed almost im- pertinent in me to add anything of a personal character, except to say that as her pastor I can fully and heartily endorse everything that has been said. My acquaintance with Mrs. Morgan has only extended overa few years, very short compared to that life-long friendship with her which so many of you have enjoyed; but although my knowledge of her come only after the beginning of that illness which has at last borne her away from us, and was not gained while she was in the full vigor and strength of her life, still I saw enough of her character and saw especially the spirit of a large and Christian generosity which prompted to deeds of kindness and liberality, to be able to appreciate fully everything that my brother has just spoken. We have lost a dear and honored friend; the circle of her friendship has been impoverished by the event which we all in common mourn. What you, her immediate and deeply loved ones have lost you yourselves best know. May the comfort of the Divine Spirit be ex- perienced by each and all! But the duty which devolves upon me, and in the performance of which our friend would, I am sure, if she now could speak to us, give me direction what I should say, is to point out to you,who are here assembled, the solemn lesson which these occasions of mortality so deeply, so significantly teach. We are in the presence of death—that common, that most common of all earthly events; and yet as each one dies with its over new, its over fresh voice of warning. That prostrate form is cold and Still but it is full of eloquence. That tongue is silent with the unbroken silence of the grave. But it speaks, and speaks with a power and a force wholly unknown in life. In the midst, then, of your sorrow, listen. In the very anguish of your sense of loss give heed to that which. our beloved friend, if here, would, I am sure, endorse and strongly insist. There is a scene in the history of our first parents which I often call to my mind and endeavor to imagine. It is that moment when they were called to bend over the dead body of their slain son—the first scene of death, I presume, in the history of our race. Slain by a brother's hand! Beaten down into the dark- ness of death by the first born,their youngest son lies before them mangled, stiff and cold. 0b, in that hour, how they must have realiz— ed at last all that their first sin implied. To be driven out of Eden, to be toiiers in the wilderness, to eat their bread with the sweet of their brow—all these were naught com- pared to the agony of tile moment when they saw their Abel slain. Now they touch the abyss into which they had fallen. Now they know the awful significance of their disobedience to God. And from that hour until this, the long procession which com- mences with the first dead of our race and for us now, ends with that prostrate form which lies in the coffin before me, beats in upon our consciousness the terrible fact of sin with its awful consequence of death. There it was in the tears so unavailing of Adam and Eve as they weep over Abel; and there it is in the tears which you are now shedding and the heart emptiness which you now know. . But brethren, we today, in the presence of these beloved remains, and guided by the faith which our dear friend enjoyed, can turn to another death than that of Abel’s, and can rejoice, even triumph when we remember the precious blood that speaketh better things than his. Our first parents bend over their dead son; but lift up your eyes and behold a greater descend- ant of that first Adam. He is dying on yonder cross. He hangs in pain and agony. Great shadows of an exceeding sorrow pass over His soul. He groans and earth re-echoes with earthquakes. He cries aloud that God Himself has forsaken Him—and at last He dies, torn by the nails, wounded by the thorns, pierced by the spear, and yet in that death humanity triumphs, and all the ill which Abel’s prone form betokens is remov- ed, and more than all the ill which the sin of Abel’s father brought into this world is turned back again'and changed into highest and everlasting biessedness by the death of Christ. Our faith is founded upon a grave, but thank God the grave is empty, and to-day we stand even by the remains of our friend and for her are glad and feel no sorrow,‘for it was hers long to know the power of that Saviour and to trust in that blood which Speaketh so much better than the blood of Abel’s. This told of sin,that of forgiveness; this only has sorrow, not one gleam of joy, that contains within its power the peace of earth, the ceaseless bliss of Heaven. That is the shrouding of God’s face, the averting of His favor from the human child whom He has created/chat is the recovery of His peace, the reconciliation of the wayward, the par- don of the sinner. This is death, that is life, this is hell, that is Heaven. And beloved friends,lct me here in the presence of the dead whom you mourn, ask you what relation 'do you bear to that victorious, all sufficient death. We are here tc-day to speak of faith and hope concerning the departed because of her relation to that dying, that dead,that now living Christ. How different would it be had she not made Him her Saviour, her Lord. And were yod there, how should we feel and speak? Would it be with bated breath? with words cautiously chosen? with doubt, perhaps, or altogether painful fear? Then no consolation but that which time might give, healing the heart-wound just as it covers the naked earth in the progress of the seasons with grass and flowers. But no triumphs! no bounding joy! no victorious certainty! Alas, alas, for those who can only enter into the inheritance of Abel's death and not at all into the salvation of the blood that speaketh better things than his. Another scene in the history of our first parent has also impressed itself upon my im- agination, and perhaps I may have unduly allowed my fancy to hear me away upon its wings', and yet if I mistake not, the thought will seem to you natural and probable enough. It is the thought 9nd sensations of our first parents when they saw the light of the day go down into darkness. The new life which they had but just begun to feel, the marvellous circumstances of beauty and de— light in which they had been just placed and where every sight and every sound must have fallen upon their young and first awak— ening senses with a sweetness wholly beyond our conceiving, and a newness that flashed upon them at every turn, had all been lighted up by the resplendent beams of the sun. 'But see, he begins to bend his slantjjourney to- wards the horizon, a softened eflulgence is poured upon creation, the sounds of living day are hushed into a stillness at first deli- cious from its n0veity but at last awful with its solemn touch upon the soul. At last the sun reaches the brim of Heaven's dome and drops beneath the dividing line of sky and earth, and in a moment the shadows grow dark and thick, and now night falls upon the astonished eyes of these young inhabi- tants of Eden. “What is the darkness? Is it the void out of which we have come? What was there: before we knew ourselves, each other, the garden around us? Do we go back intodhat nothinguess whence we came, like the bubble that we say upon the stream of Gihon a little while ago that flashed into brightness, reflected ten thousand colors back to Heaven andearth and then broke and vanished upon the border of the river ?” And as he muses the darkness grows thicker. sights and forms and shapes disappear. He lifts his eyes and there where just before was nothing but the spreading blue of Hon— ven’s arch are now the flashing glories of the starry world. And yonder, right against that quarter of the Heavens where the sun (just sank, rises tbe‘broad eflulgence of the _in tears. queen of night. It was only when night came that Adam truly knew the glory of the world into which God had brought him. And if night be such a revealer brethren why not death? Oh, what knowledge is our friend’s, even already? How upon her life of earth there has broken all the wonders of the Heavenly world! She has closed her sight upon one sun only to open it upon ten thousand. The mysteries of being. The se- crets here untold, the spreading vastness of the spaces that lie forever beyond our meas- urement or ken, the hosts of heaven, the glorified saints from all the ages of the past, the unfallen spirits who from the first hour of the creation have perpetually blazed and God, Christ himself, the Glory of the Triune Jehovah, these, all these have been revealed to those who die in Jesus and are thus indeed blest, and it is our glad confidence that our beloved friend has thus been brought into the higher knowledge, the unmeasurabie glories of the world which death alone can show.- We are still in the garish day when the limit of our vision is an earthly horizon and a vault of sapphire. She is .in that, tons night, when her astonished, her unerring gaze sweeps round upon the infinite glories of the universe which God inhabits and which He reveals fully, (fully, did I say, perhaps even to them it is but the beginning which is shown) only to those who love Him and trust Him through Jesus Christ our Lord. Death as Christ has rendered it, is a revealer, wonderful, immense. How vain, then, and inappropriate are the symbols that we some- times place upon the resting places of our beloved departed. In our God's acres we set up the borrowed symbols of the pagan hope. lessness, the dreary desolation of thehearts who mourn their dead, knowing not that Jesus Christ has died and risen again and is forever the resurrection and the life. We see a broken pillar, an overturned urn, an ex- tinguished torch. 0 friends, the life we mourn is no pillar stricken into afragment, but it is rather the fair round column built up high above our sight, beyond the lower sky, and there before the face of God the crown and capital is set upon it. It is no urn turned over with the pre— cious ointment spilled, all its fragrance wasted, it is rather lifted up before the place of God and there by his own hand filled to overflowing with the blessedness and joy, the ruptures of the eternal life, till the drops of its blessedness shall run over and fall upon the earth in the tender remembrances of the graces that we knew and the blessedforecast- ing of the reunion that we expect. It is the torch lighted no lotger by the fires that are of earth, burning with some thick vaporous consumptions, but glowing only with the fine lambent flame of a heavenly worship, wholly purged by its own fire from every truce that defiles or makes unclean. These rather, would be the symbols that we erect, not that we love less but that we hope more, because Christ has died and because He lives again and in Him and with Him our friend is living too. ' And here, think you not beloved hearers, our departed sister would press the lesson of If she has entered into this fuller knowledge into this greater blessing, how is it? Why ? And would you know then, with all the knowledge of the celestial world, would you be blessed with all the blessing of that heaven- ly state? Then it can be gained by those who make her Saviour theirs, who make her Lord to be their own. What will death’s night bring to us? Shall it be the extended knowledge which Heaven bestows? Alas, alas! If'it be naught but the eternal igno- rance, the everlasting longing with only keen sense left of loss, the sorrow of the soul in the- darkness of eternal death. All things forgotten. Remembering only that we have forgoden, knowing only that we have not known. Time would fail me were I to speak those words which might fittingly be said to many of you who gather here now in so'rrow and Friends, 9. friend is gone, but one Friend remains who never goes. Faithful through His own death of agony, truly faith- ful through ours of triumph. Brethren, a sister has been summoned from you ; are you of that household whose elder Brother is at once the Saviour and the Lord. Bound to her we mourn by the ties of earthly kindred, is there no higher link that unites you to her even as it unites you forever to the Lord. Dear friend—widowed heart, tender are thy memories. Very near to thee be thy Com- forter, very blessed for thee be the re-unitin‘g at last. . ' And so beloved one: we gather up our thoughts and meditations and bear our sor— rows, our lessons, our expectations to Him who lives forever, who dwells serene and changeless above the shifting scenes of earth, in whom our lost ones rest, and who at last shall bring them together with ourselves into that eternal life where death forever and for all is the thing past and destroyed, where sorrow leaves not a trace, and where sin atoned for by Jesus Christ and forgiven by God is ever forgotten by those who had sin- ned but were saved. ._._——.——.—<.._._—-——- STAMFORD. .Onc night last week, burglars effected an entrance to the residence of C.

D., aged ninety— three, died Friday evening at his summer residence at Greenfield Hill, near Bridge» port. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred on him by Williams college. He was probably the oldest Episcopal clergy- man in the United, States. He was born November 14, 1787,. He graduated from Yale College in. 1811, and was not only the only survivor of his class, but, with one ex— ception, the oldest living graduate of the college, He was the oldest living Presbyter of the diocese‘to which he belonged (that of Bishop Potter) and was believed to be the oldest living Presbytcr of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States. In his early days he was associated with the Rev. Virgil Barbour in charge of the school at Fairfield, Herkimer county, N. Y., _then under the special patronage of Trinity church of New York.
