DAN BURY.

The Episcopal parsonage is to be repaired
and put in order for the new Rector.

A number of Danbury families have been
boarding at Bell’s Island, Norwalk.

Danbury sent ten persons to the State
Temperance Pic-nic. -

Danbury has a small pox fright, and atown
meeting has been called to provide a pox
house.

A man named Logan fell from a cart and
broke one of his legs.

The Danbury Railroad Company proposes
to build several new passenger cars. .

The fire department will pic-nic at Brook—
side Park to-day, Tuesday. Last night they
had a street parade.

Sunday night, 18th; while descending a
long bill, at midnight, R. H. Broas, of the
Turner House, met with a serious acCIdent.
The harness broke and the horses ran away
down the 'steep hill. His two companions
Kingpian and Kelder, were thrown out, and
dangerously injured. He was up—set,_ and
barely escaped being thrown into 9 riyel‘.
He picked himself up, found his companions
unconscious, and then walked two miles for
help. When he arrived home he was ex—
hausted and suffered from a nervous pros-
tration.

 

WILTON.

July Iii—Several philanthro-
pists thought, some time ago, of establishing
a home for the female inebriate and opium
eater, and a movement was started to accom-
plish the object in view. It was deemed
that the institution should be located in
'Wilton, Conn., 75 acres of land havrng been
donated for that purpose, and local subscrip-
tions in labor and building material _to the
amount of $10,000 having been contributed.
The donor of the land gave it solely on con
dition that the hospital should be forever
devoted to the medical treatment and control
of inebriate women and female opium eaters.
He also stipulated that the corporation
should not receive any appropriations or
gifts from the State of Connecticut. His
desire was that it should depend for Its con-
struction and endowment upon subscriptions
from the entire country and that the citizens
of every State should have the same rights
and privileges as the residents Of the State
of Connecticut. To bring it Within the.
reach of the poorer classes the projectors
aoreed that every tenth bed in the institution
should be a free one. A gentleman well
known for his humanity commenced canvass-
ing four and a half years ago, and during
that time has visited every man of promi-
nence in New England,New Jersey and New
York, and everywhere met with a kind
reception and a charitable donation. In time
he will canvass every Statenn the Union.
Up to the present time indiVIdual subscrip-
tions have been limited to ten dollars each,
but many of the subscribers have promised
to give handsome sums when oncethe build--
ing has been started. The budding, which
will be of granite, will be commenced in a
few months and advanced thereafter as the
funds will allow or without creating one
dollar of indebtedness. It is expected that
its erection will cost only a reasonable
amount of money, as a great quantity of
building material has already been donated.
'The money on hand at present amounts to
about $50,000. The location of the Intended

’ structure guarantees to the inmates com—
plete seclusion from temptation.

A somewhat amusing as well as dangerous
incident occurred at the foot of Grumman’s
Hill, South Wilton, Wednesday last. Three

boys, erred about fourteen, thirteen and ten

an YORK,

B

respectively, were playing the innocent game
of throwing stones at each other, when the
youngest, named Barringer, ran into the
yard of Rufus Adams, the gate being open,
and struck the well curb, which is about two
and a half feet high, went over it head first
into the well, about twenty feet deep, there
being six feet of water in it. As he came to
the surface, the other boys having arrived at
the well, suggested to him to hold on to the
bucket, which he did, and was drawn out
safe and sound excepting a small lump on
the back Of his head. His mother and
grandinother‘were visiting‘at Mr. Adams.

WEST STRATFORD.

Anotherfiull week;for items.

Complaints are frequently 'made, because
mail matter destined for this place, from
Bridgeport, is so long in reaching its destina-
lion; whose fault is it?

Stratford people are considerably stirred
up because so many cattle are allowed to
pasture on the streets. .

West Stratford has no “machine” for ex-
tinguishing a fire, in case one should break
out: it is time something wasdone in the
matter. ,

A high sounding call appears on the pub-
lic sign post, located on the corner of Lake
and Barnum streets; said call is for the crow
eaters to assemble on Thursday evening next,
for the purpose of. forming 9. Hancock and
English club. Listen to the closing words\
of the “call." Our opponents are weak, now
is our opportunity—then rally to the sup-
port of Hancock and English, and victory is
ours." How simple and child like ; our
democratic friends seem to .be blessed with

. a certain ainount of confidence, but we be-
lieve their confidence is misplaced. This
manufactured enthusiasm is only surface
deep. An the other hand, we find among
our republican friends a deep seated purpose
to work for their candidate. Although that
purpose is not manifested by much outside
enthusiasm as yet, nevertheless, it is firm
and unwavering, and those democrats who
are led into the belief, that the simple name
of their candidate is a guarantee of his elec—
tion, will find they have reckoned without
their host. We do not take any stock in
the accounts of Hancock- cubs, composed of
so-called union veterans. We are somewhat
vauainted with the sentiment of the ele-

4

 

ment, and find that while they honor lIan-

cock for his brilliant record in defence of the
Union, they despise the party with which he
is identified.

Blackberries are very plenty in this vicini-
ty, and berrying parties are all the rage.

The following story was told us by afriend
a few daysago: ‘.‘At. a democratic meeting
held not a thousand miles from Bridgeport,

theorator of the evening waxed warm, and .

shouted out, “if there is a republican in this
house, I would like. to have him rise, and
tell his feelings.” A man in the back part
of the room arose. “Are you a republican,”
said the orator. “I am,” was the answer.
“How do you feel ?” “I feel like one good
egg among a bushel of rotten ones.” The cat-
echism ended immediately. _

Edward Dunn, whose foot was so severely
injured a few weeks ago, is able to be about
again.

Richard Gedney and wife, who have been
visiting friends in this place left for their

. home in Flint, Mich, Saturday.

J amcs Orrjr, and his mother, have gone on
Fort Worth, Texas. They intend to make
that place their permanent residence.

Business is still brisk at the Rogers &,

WESTPORT.

The death of’Mrs. Charry Olmstcad, reiict
of the late Charles Olmstead, who died last
Tuesday at Cranberry Plains in the 83d year
of her age, recalls pleasant though sad memo-
ries to the older people of this community
who, in the past. maintained a wider circle
of associates than those of our time seem to
hold. In her early days when Westport was
a portion of Norwalk and population was
sparse both here and there, friendship among
neighbors residing far from each other was
warm, and the regret which this announce—
ment induces proves how heartfelt and last-
ing that friendship was.

Sunday (25th) was the first dog day, and
according to the calendar there are forty Of
them. The temperature since July 1st
makes it evident that the almanac weather
proghosticator has this year given us too late
a date, for in all conscience, the muggy
nights and days inflicting us here since July
came in, entitle us to claim a much wider
range. .

Rev. John R. Williams and other Episco-
pal clergymen of , this place attended the
funeral at Greenfield Hill, Wednesday, of the
late Rev. Samuel Nicholswho died Saturday
July 17th in the 94th year‘of his age. As if
in keeping with the life and walk of“ deceas-
ed the simple service of the church was said

with sadness among those who assisted in
laying the good old man to 'rest.

Mr. Gershom B. Bradley, has done a good
work for the town, in the reconstruction of
an abutment for the bridge over Carver Gut
on the depot road. The heavy masonry
laid by him will be likely to remain in place
long enough for the town toget full benefit
for the money expended.

The yacht Petrel, belonging to Mr. Walter
Griffith of New York, who is stopping at
Five Mile River, came into our harbor from
that place last week Monday, and that night
enabled a party of merry ladies and gentle—
men to enjoy a moonlight sail in our beauti:
ful river. She returned Tuesday, and her
temporary crew of _ four persons learned
what it is to be becalmed and pass a sleep-
less night on “The Rolling Deep.”

The remains of Mr. Merrill Selleck, who
was drowned in the Saugatuck river Friday
July 16th,were Thursday 20th,‘taken to High
Ridge, Conn., for burial.

The loss of one grocery by the selling out

of Mr. Keeler, is to be made good by Mr.
Daniel Murray, who will start another at
Saugatuck.
Telegraph business must be improving,
and yet the thirty or forty odd lines of wire
passing through the town are found to be
inadequate to the demand, and men are now
putting up a couple of new lines. Why is
it that Westport cannot have the benefit of
at least one of the lines. As matters now
stand all messages must be transmitted at
the ofiice in the depot, Saugatuck, and the
person residing in Westport has to pay not
only the regular toll, but a messenger fee of
25 cents,——-almost as e sive as a cable
message. Perplexing delays are often the
result, and it happens now and then that
communications by mail are surer and
prompter. This should not be construed by
the public as a reflection, in any sense, upon
Mr. Staples, the gentlemanly agent .and
operator at Saugatuck, but as a criticism of
the management of the various lines, the
Western Union in particular, in maintaining
a stolid indifference to the needs and
demands of willing patrons here.

Capt. William C. Staples, who has pur-
chased the Burt place on the depot road, has
the opportunity, which the public have long
hoped some good man would have, to im-
prove andbeautify a naturally fine country
place. '

Mr. E. M. Lees is at Saratoga indulging in
his annual two weeks imbibaiion of the wa—
ter of the Springs. Mr. H. R. Treadwell,
who has just returned from a fortnight's
indulgence with benefit, thinks of repeating
the pleasant opperation.

Mr. James Perry builds a new barn.

Mr. James Hyatt has brought himself to
believe in what most people accept as an im-
possibility. He planted a tract with corn in
the middle of July, and expects the season
will be long enough for it to mature and

- ripen. Before planting he took anheavy

yield of grass off the tract. It is evident he
is looking for two crops.

Supreme Court of Errors has decided the
case of McCann as Sanford, giving judgment
in favor of plaintiff and reversing decision of
the court below.

Mr. S. R. Saxton has some good with his
bad fortune, thanks to the vigilance of the
clerks of the Broadway National Bank, New
York. On Monday, 19th, four days after
his robbery of $600, he received notice from
thatbank that coupons bearing numbers cor-
responding with the numbers of those stolen
from him had been oficred at the bank. Mr.
S. proceeded to New- York and learned that
the party presenting them for payment had
been discovered. The clerk questioned the
party as to where he got the coupons, but
the only reply given was “I didn’t steal ’em,
the deal is all regular, etc. l" The clerk said
he would hold the couponatill'l‘hursday last
and meantime would communicate with the
person he believed to be the real owner. If
it turned out all right he could call again and
get the money. The fellow didn‘t call again
at the Bank, and Mr. Saxton has received
back all the money stolen excepting about

$25. ‘ _ PAUL.

The great work of making a railroad tun-
nel under the Hudson from Jersey City to
gNeW York is fairly under way. Three hun-
dred feet have already been completed from
the Jersey kids. and the work is advancing
slowly but steadily. The chief obstacle, the
Oppositioh of the great railway lines on both
sides, has been overcome, and it is believed
that the entire work will be finished by 1883.
‘The New York terminus is to be near Broad-
way and Bleecker street. -

The Washington dispatches make an in-
structive contrast of two periods in the his—
tory of the Government, of fifteen years
each, one Republican, the other Democratic.
.Between 1865 and 1880 Republican Admin-
jistrations have paid off $837,000,000 of the
National debt, and reduced the annual vol-—
.ume of interest by $71,000,000. Between
1847 and 1861 Democratic Administrations
added $13,000,000 to the debt. In 1861
the Government was paying 12.per cent, on
money borrowed for current expenses; now
the four per cent. bonds are at a premium all
over the world. And the Democratic party
now asks-that public servants who have
been faithful over many things shall be dis-
charged in favor of those who have 'been
fulthless in all "thins—Tribune.

Better Times.
Undcr the above :capi'ion “Baldwin the

‘Clothicr,” (whose busieess sagacity pushed

his retail sales Of ready made clothing last

million dollms,) givcs‘us in his monthly the
following sensible _and assuring sugges-
tions :—

“Notwithstanding the “boom" spasm, and
the natural collapse, after the inflation, there
is evidence to assure everybody of better
times. Dormant capital has been brought
out of in; hiding places, great enterprises
have been started, skillful workmen in every
branch of mechanism are employed——so that,
with a decent regard for the laws which
always control supply and demand, the
market need not be overstocked, everything
produced may bring a fair price, and prof—
ts be fairly distributed Wherever
speculation starts up, there will be demoral-
ization, which every one should frown upon.
The result of the recent “boom" shows
thousands of shattered fortunes, where,
through the samelchance medium, not one
out of a hundred who ventured, ,came out
with more than he Went’ in. A spasmodic
market, with its violent fluctuationsburts
everybody. And, strange as it may_appear,
when prices for manufactured goods increase
in the general scramble for profit, instead
of making better goods for better pay, the
adulteration and shoddy system is applied,
and the result is poor goods at high prices.
A steady market, affording a living profit to
every producer, equalizes gains, and meets.
all reasonable demands.

Better times than we had last Sum’mer, we
all. wanted, and now they are here, and the

and healthy. It only remains for evoryman
who can work to go to work, and a fair
compensation may be realized for his labor.
The outlook promises well to all who are not
living by their wits, buying tickets in a
lottery, or indulging in blind speculation in
Wall street. Yes, the times are better, and
we are glad the “boom is over, and that
the country is no worse off for it than than
1": Is. It: Is 1- * 1k

The best time to sell is when the people
want to buy, and the worst time to mark
down is when there is no demand.

Buy a bargain, and sell a bargain, and sell
a bargain anyhow, is our motto. If goods
are on hand,and the prices are too high to get
them off your hands,- they must be marked
down, and no merchant can hold his trade
or increase his trade without the consumer's
estimate of his wares runs parallel of his

' own; .and they never will pay large profits.

There has never been a better time to make
real cash than the coming Fall and Winter
promises. The wise merchant will look facts
straight in the face, make the best of the
situation, and come out winner at the end of
the seasdn. . '

Barnum’s story of the mermaid is going
the rounds of the' papers. An employee of
the old Museum, who claims to have had a
hand in producing that famous combination,
told the story some years since in more defi-
nite form. He said they had a monkey who
was passionately fond of water, and gave
them much trouble. One day theidea struck
him that he could make that swimming
monkey of some use, and going down to
Fulton Market he obtained the skin of a
large halibut which was tightly drawn over
the monkey’s lower parts, and ‘he was then
put into a tank and exhibited to the world as
a genuine mermaid. If the monkey had been
better looking the mermaid would have been

.morc attractive.

General Grant has just declined the presi-
dency of a transcontinental canal company
at $25,000 a year. His reason, absurd as it
may seem to the defenders of the Hancock
oil performance, was that he did not like to
lead his name to an undertaking in which
his friends who might invest,would be likely
to lose their money.

 

The present abundance Of mackerel along
the Massachusetts shore, ofif Nahant,Swamp~

this vicinity for years. The fish are exceed-
ingly large in size, and the fishermen are en-

the small mackerel escape.

The census enumerator on Block Island,

being again of 61 in five years. -He also
says that of these 1,208 people, only three

of his visit. This shows the remarkable
healthfulness of the island. Perhaps the
people have adopted the Oriental custom of
paying a salary to be kept well.

WASHINGTON, July 22d.——The adjutant
general of the volunteer troops of Connecti—
cut has applied to the secretary of war to
have an officer Of the regular army detailed
to inspect the state troops at the annual en-
campment in August. The secretary decided
to grant the request and similar ones that
may be'made from other states, with a view
of enabling the war department to gain a bet-

unteer forces, and also to secure a better
understanding « between the regular forces

A well known Hartford gentleman was un-

church the other day, and he requested a
friend to bid in for him a pew for which he
had for many years payed $50. Later he
met another friend, and, incidentally men-
tioning that he would not be able to attend
the auction,asked this friend also to see to it
that he had his old pew as heretofore. The
auction took place and the pew was put up.
“Fifty dollar's," said friend number :one.

“Fifty-one," said number two. “Fifty-three.”
“fifty four," and so till there had been thirty-
eight bids, when one friend, thinking he had
gone as far as discretion permitted. stopped,
and the other took it triumphantly at $88.
~"Put it down for Dr. ,” he said, and
the astonishment of the other knew no bounds
They had been bidding against each other,
both in behalf of the same gentleman, who
had forgotten to tell number two that he had
also spoken to number one. The church is

as much well cooked ham as you are likely
to use, flavor it with a very little cayenne
and some nutmeg. Roll out some good puff
paste very. thinly, cut it into two perfectly
even portions, prick in one or two places to
prevent it rising too highly, and bake in a
quick oven till of golden brown. Then take
out and let it stand till cool, when spread a
little fresh butter over the whole. This
should not be done till the paste is perfectly
cool. Now spread the grated ham evenly
over the paste, lay the second piece of puff
paste over it,and with a sharp knife cut into

BLIND Sunshine—The symptoms of
blind staggers, or apop'lexy, are stiffness of
the neck and limbs, sleepiness, and sudden
stumbling or falling. In the stable the ani—
mal presses its head against the manger or
wall and stands sleepily, and sometimes
trembles. It is a dangerous disease on ac-
count of the risk Of sudden attack and the
danger of its taking on a phrenetic form, and
with much violence. The treatment is to
bleed copiously and give a pint of linseed
or], repeated in two days. The Cause of the
disease is indigestion and probable impaction
of the stomach and bowels, and imperfect
nutrition. The feed should be given in small
quantities, and should be of the best quality.
Steeped oats and bran mash should be given,
with but little buy or grass.

_ General Grant’s Position.

A dispatch from Denver, Col, says:

“General Grant‘ in an interview here, said:
‘I can say without hesitation thi‘lt I will give~
Garfield my hearty support. There is no
reason why any Republican should not vote
for Garfield. I know him to be amaii of
talent, thoroughly accomplished .and an
upright man. I have nothing against Gen.
Hancock, but Garfield is the man for the
ofiice.’ He» denied the report that be had
complained of Conkling and Logan having
deceived him. He said that he had received
no latter from either of them, cigar before
or after the cohvention, since bi rcturnto
America. He said that of all men Conkling
and Logan were the last for him to find fault
with, and he felt more proud of the three
hundred and 12 delegates that stood by him
than if he had received the nomination by
unfair means."

Help Mother Off.

The professional and business classes are
not the only ones who need a vacation. Ex-
haustiug, and Often killlng as men’s work is
in this high-pressure age, it is no more so
compared with the strength, than that of the
faithful “house mothers.” It has been of—
ten pointed out—how to the, men comes a
change of scene in givng out to business;
how they get at least aii.hour or more of
fresh air every day, and lubricate the inn—
chinery of life by contact with friends and
acquaintances; while the women suffer from
the very quiet of their home—life, not to
mention its nerve—wearing anxieties, cares
and labors. Any man who has been “shut
up in the house” for even a few days, with
a temporary ailment, has confessed—if lion-
cst' enough—that he should “fly out of the
window" if confined in that way as a habit
of life. The average good wife and molhcr
needs nothing so much, at this time of year,
as §ome kind and determined hand to lift
her out of the old rats, and make the way
easy to a little stretch of smooth road tlirogli
“pastures new,” and by fields frcfh and fair.
Because she thinks she doesn’t want to go,
is no sign that she does not need to go. A
treadmill is one of the hardest things toIget
out of gear, and the patient piodder therein
at last comes to think that there is no other
round for her in the great world. Therefore,
husbands, sons and daughters, take our ad-
monition, and help 'mother 01L. Enter into
an amiable conspiracy to convince her that
she can go. Persuade her that home is not
the best place to travel in, nor the best place
for some kind of rest. And don't wait too
long, nor mistake resignation for content—
ment, or cheerful patience for the bright
substance of happiness. If all the unavaill-
ing regrets, secretly breathed in desolate
homes over opportunities missed to prolohg
life or minister to the happiness of lost ones,
could be sounded forth in warning to othe
living,there would be such an awakening to
duty, and such a stimulus to loving service,
as the world has rarely ever seen.— Golden
Rule.

of its candidate. To pasa over Senator Bay-
ard for General Hancock was toindicate that
the party was afraid of its own political
record in its best, most honorable and con—
sistent respresentative, and to seek by an
outside strength to divert attention from its
history and purpose. His military record
does not obscure his want of civil experi-
ence, nor will the gratitude for his service
conceal the fact that he was nominated by
ex- Confederates, or that borrowing the flag
and the uniform does not change their pur-
pose or conceal their real antipathies. The'
election of General. Hancock would mean
the return to power of the Democratic party,
in which the solid South isthe predominant
element and the purpose, instincts and tra-
ditions of the solid South are against the
strength and consolidation of the national

power.—Prooidonce Journal.

The confederate soldier who has made
application to the United States Government
for a pension on account of wounds received
in action is only a littleahead of time. To
be sure, he fought against the Government
whose bounty he now demands, but he has
faith in the intention and ability of the
Democratic Party to control the Treasugy
and reward the soldiers of the Confederacy.
As far as the action of the Southern Demo—
crats in Congress can commit the party, it is
pledged to pension the men who fought in
what,they call “the weaker cause.” Senator
Brown of Georgia, argued in favor~of this
system of pensioning those who fought in the
late war; and the South Carolina soldier who
has just filed his application is doubtless con-
gratulating himself that he is just a little in

advance of any of his comrades.

.._——

"Mr. Aorta: Elsworth,’ a; wealthy merchant
of Port Ewen, Ulster Co., N. Y., had. suffered
for more than twenty-five years with a disease

and the suffering man was given up by all
the physicians who had attended him, who
said there was no help, he must die. Finally
Dr. Kennedy, proprietor of ‘f Favorite Reme-
dy," was consulted, who decided that ampu-
tation would save the patient. ' Dr. Kennedy
performed the operation, and then gave “Fa-
vorite. Remedy " to purify the blood, and thus
prevent the return of tho discuse,—and Mr.
Elsworth remains to this day, in the bloom of
health.
_ Are you suffering from any disorder of tho
Blood, Kidneys, Liver, or Constipation of the
Bowels P Then use Dr. Kennedy’s “ Favorite
Remedy.” .
For all the ills peculiar to Females, old or
young, Dr. Kennedy’s “ Favorite Remedy”
as, and will prove, a. perfect blessing.
‘ Your druggist has it; if not, send price of
a bottle (one dollar) to the Proprietor, Dr.
