WEST NORWALK.
Like your City correspondent, it has been
necessary for your humble servant to rush—
cute, and as the Canadian parliament was
supposed to be in session, it was natural to
wander away there, but nothing was found.
or seen which was of such abiding interest as
a survey of the great labors of our late legis-
lature while in session at Hartford. The
people of our town ought to possess them—
selves of a copy of the “laws and acts” and
then try to find a record of some known to
have been passed but which are to be found
only under the head of “ Special.”
We have a public benefactor among. us.
Since the partial repairs of the public high-
Ways, frequent rains have fallen and as a
consequence the roads are very rough and
Stony, uncle Raymond—although about three
score and ten, has in his leisure hours re—
moved every stone from the carriage way for
a distance of & of a mile each way from his
house. This has incited a few other residents
to resolve to keep the roads fronting their
property in repair, until the town is rich
enough to do it.
Royal L. Millard‘s large fur factory is pro-
gressing finely, and will soon be raised. He
has enlarged his mill dam which will furnish
a very large supply of water and he will em-
ploy a large force of hands.

which is to be spacious stable room. It is
intimated it is for the hecommodation of the
horses of the journeyman from our sister city
who are to work in the new fur factory.
A Sunday school concert was held in Union
Chapel on Sunday night, a large attendance
listened to interesting address from Deacon
Nash, Capt. Russell and W. H. Benedict of
South Norwalk. The singing by the school
was excellent—marred only by the bad con-
dition of the Organ. The young people are
to hold a peach festival on Tuesday Evening
17th inst in aid of the Organ fund. Come
over and help us.

The facts concerning Candidate English‘s
methods with those who fall into his hands
in a financial way saggests to the Boston
Journal that he must be a prudent man after
the fashion of the Connecticut deacon who
was on trial for some alleged shortcoming.
“Do you regard the deacon as a mean man?”
asked the counsel of the witness. “Well,
with regard to that,” answeredthe witness,
cautiously, “people may not call him really
mean, but I have thought he was what, you
might call a ‘kecrful‘ man—a very prudent
man, so to speak.” “What do you mean by
a prudent maul”. “Well,” replied the wit—
ness, “I mean this: Once he had an execu-
tion against a poor widow for $3, and he
went to her house and levied upon a flock of
ducks, and he chased them ducks round the
house pooty much all day. and every time
he catched a duck he’d Sit down, wring its
neck, and charge mileage; and his‘ mileage
amounted to a heap more than the debt.
Nothing mean about that as .I know. of, but
I always thought arter that that the deacon
was a mighty prudent man.”
The exciting and stimulating properties ~_of .
pure oxygen are‘ well known, and every one
has felt the invigorating influence of fresh
air, yet little practical application has been
made of these beneficial properties of a sub-
. stance so cheap and universal. When the
body is weak, the brain fatigued, and the
whole system in a state of lassitude, just go
into the open air, take a few vigorous inspi—
rations and expirations,and the effect will be
instantly perceived.‘ The individual trying
the experiment Will feel invigorated and
stimulated, the blood W111 course with fresh-
ness, the lungs will work_ With increased
activity, the whole frame Wlll feel revivified,
and nature’s stimulant will be found the best,

Business men, who know the value of sta-
bility, do not take so kindly to the idea of a
change as the democrats would like to have
them. We were recently told of a Water—
bury manufacturer,and a democrat, (00. W110
remarked that he had been three years get—
ting his business where it would pay, and as
he did not want to run the risk of a change he
should do what he could to prevent it by vot-
ing for Garfield & Arthur. - '

Mrs. Annie 'Wilkins, daughter of Mr.
Andrew C. Nash, has this season gathered
with her own hands from the Fourteen Acre
Pond, Cranberry Plain, over 800 pond lilies
(American Lotus,) and forwarded them to
the Flower Mission in New York. This
large contribution is only a portion of the
good work accomplished by the ladY- Her
associates belonging to Christ church have
also given liberally of flowers to this Mission.
During the week, men, the same against
whom so many complaints have been made,
Were seen oystcring with dredges in the river
in violation ,of the selectmen’s order which
prohibits such work after August 1st, 1880.
The men seemed to have in their boats much
more than three bushels of oysters, the
amount allowed to' be taken in one day, and
when expostulated with by a law-abiding
citizen, coolly replied that “an order bearing
the name of law issued by town ofiicers had
no weight, could not scare them, and was
not worthy of being obeyed." Perhaps a fine
of $20,000 and costs. and 30 days in jail, or
both, might bring these bold violators to their
senses.
Miss Sophia V. Downs has made crayon
sketches of three of the village churches,
which by their faithful execution and beauty
are winning for her the praise of admiring
friends. The taste displayed and time ex—
pended by the lady show what good things
may be produced from original subjects.
Collector Bradley says in the Westportcr
“on all taxes unpaid after October 5, 1880,
interest at the rate of nine per cent. (monthly)
will be charged until the same shall be
paid.” Show us the man who can stand
under an unloading of 108 per cent. a year.
Those boys who sneak behind Stapless’
lumber yard and swim in the river contrary
to their parents wishes, should bear in mind
the shark 9; feet long caught off Caukeen’s
Island, They would make tender morsels
(probably because they are well dressed) for
that class of big fish.
Hon. Bradford R. Wood of Albany, fired
the first gun of the campaign in this locality,
Friday night, by addressing our Garfield &
Arthur Club at their rooms in the Bank
building. Mr. Samuel Wood, his son. also
spoke. The boys were out in force and list-
ened to the sound words and wise counsels of
New York’s astute and veteran politician.
Mr. Robert Martin is President of the club,
and a glance at the following Vice-Presi-
dents shows that the solid men of this com-
munity will work for the right presidential
ticket :—William 0. Hull, W. R. McCready,
A. S. Hurlbutt, E. W. Taylor, H. Staples,
G. B. Bradley, H. M. Coley, Monson Perry,
D. B, Bradley, J. Bunnell, W. J. Jennings,
Edward H. Nash, H. P. Burr, Frederick
Morehouse, J. C. Taylor, G. S. Adams and
J. H. Jennings. J. T. Hull and A. T. Burr,
are secretaries; Oscar I. Jones, Treasurer,
and Mr. Samuel Wood one of the Executive
Committee. Meetings are to be held once in
two weeks, and it is proposed to purchase a
banner. The claims set forth after the nom-
ination that prominent republicans here had
declared for Hancock, are false, as they have
each joined the Garfield club.
The Miss Maggie Mitchell who has been
passing a few days in town is not the Mag-

of “Fanchon,” and “Little Bai‘efoot” fame.
She is a singer connected with a Brooklyn

Mr. Horace Staples of the First National
Bank, after 51 years active business in lum-

has retired, leaving the concern in good
shape in the hands of three worthy men,
Messrs. W. C. Staples, W. L. Coley, and
W. G. Staples.
The Westporter speaks of lucious apples
which had been presented. This calls to

The emissaries of certain lawyers and of—
ficials in town, so it is said, are smelling
among the fields to find how many real ‘es-
.tate owners have allowed wild carrots and
Canada thistles to go to seed, which, if true,
we may ere long look for a coup de tat with
results similar to- what lately befel delinquent
dog owners.

Many Westport people went up to camp
meeting in Brookside Park, Bedding, last
week, and returned impressed that the spot
is one of the most lovely. The cheapness
and ease with which they reached the park,
inspired a wish to go again.
The death of Jabez P. Scribner, ESq., sug-
gests thoughts of the past, and gives an op-
portunity to correct some erroneous Impres-
sions. He was once an active tanner here.
About thirty years ago he met with an ac—
cident on the Long Island railroad, receiving
injuries, which compelled him to maintain
seclusion from the world. Since the acci-
dent,‘ until recently, he had seldom been seen
on the street. Business and everything
about his premises went to decay. Strangers
spoke of him as a singular man, not knowing
the circumstances under which he was plac-
ed, but the people of Westport know they
have lost a genial and upright citizen.

Narcotic Nantucket. ,
An early American writer thus refers to the
use of opium in Nantucket. "He is writing
in 1793, and says: “A singular custom pre-
vails here among the women, at which I was
gleatly surprised, and am really at a loss
how to account for the cause that has intro-
duced in this primitive society so remarkable
,a fashion, or rather so extraordinary a want.
They’ have adopted these many years the
Aslatsc custom of taking opium every morn-
ing, and so deeply rooted is it that they
would be at a loss how to live without the
indulgence; they would rather be deprived
of any necessary than forego their favorite
luxury. This is much more prevailing
among the women than the men, few of the
latter having caught the contagion, though
the Sheriff, whom I may call the first per-
son in the island, who is an eminent physi-
cian besides, and whom I had the pleasure
of being acquainted with, has for many years
submitted to this custom? He takes three
grains of it every day after breakfast, with-
aout the effects of which, he often told me,
he was not able to transact any business.”—

Nantasket.
. After a dusty, weary ride, well-calculated
to disgust. the average man with the whole
system of Summer pleasuring, we landed at
the “Hub" in the late afternoon. For the
first time we stood upon the sacred soil. We
scanned the herizon round for a sight of
Bunker Hill; thought of liberty, philosophy
and several other things, but really had no
opportunity to indulge the appropriate emo—
tions. A friend hurried us away to the
Nantasket boat, and soon we were steaming
out into the beautiful bay. On all the shores
were evidences of wealth and a high civiliza-
tion. Here and there a fort lifted over the
waters its terraces and its guns. Green
islands clustered on the right hand and on the
left. Now and then a crowded steamer
crossed our path. As the sun sank toward
its setting, the western sky put on a rare
crimson beauty. The day went down in
splendor, and over the placid waters the rich
tints fell, and we were passing through a sea
of vermillion and gold. About ten miles
from Boston lies Nantasket Beach, the
Coney Island of Eastern Massachusetts.
Possessing all the advantages of that famous
resort on the Long Island shore, this is in
some respects the more attractive. Beyond
the stretch of ocean sand the land rises in
rocky ridges on which are built numberless
hotels and cottages. These command a
remarkably fine view of the sea and the
adjacent coasts. -In themselves they are
picturesque, displaying a great variety of
architectural taste. A railway skirts the
the shore in true Coney Island style, afiord—
ing convenient communication between the
various localities. The palatial splendor of
Coney Island hotels is not yet attained
although an ambitious emulation is notice-
able. Even a “Nantasket cow" is here to
satisfy the cravings of the unweaned I Also
an “Aquariul” holds forth for the attraction
ofthe'multitude; “the marvellous and mys-
terious performances of the beautiful mer-
maid, Miss LaSelle, and the amphibious
man, Mr. Charles Beach,” who apparently
takes his meals and his recreation, if not his
rest, under water. From Boston and the
neighboring towns multitudes throng to
this region while the summer heats and the:
demands of fashion close the city hom .
Mothers are here with an eye open to eligible
chances for their marriageable daughters.
Diamond studded gentlemen promenade the
piazzas in the dignity of assured competence
and of ripening years. Young lovers stroll
along the sands and, gazing upon the out-
ward bound vessel, discuss, perchance, the
probability of their sailing out together upon
life’s misty sea.
All classes alike indulge to satiety in the
splendid sea food that the place afiords.
Clam chowder, baked blue fish and makerel
appear here in their fairest guise. If fish is
good for'brain, there must daily occur a re-
markable cranial development at Nantasket.
But apart from the gratification of sharpened
appetite and the pleasures of society, there
is that in the place that is wonderfully at—
tractive, and to the weary, full of restfulness.
The placid sea, with its vessels standing
against the horizon as if floating in air, the
brilliant sunsets with their marvellous re-
flections, the air of repose that lingers over
all the scene, the murmur of the waters
among the rocks, all tend to relieve the bar-
dened spirit of its cares and soothe and
refresh and strengthen. Amid future labors
we shall not forget these golden days on the
rock-ribbed Massachusetts coast.
In your last week’s issue you published a
somewhat lengthy “poem." Either the wri-
ter is a poor penman or the proof-reader
failed in his duty, for the aforesaid produc-
tion was at many points decidedly original.
August 18, 1880. Gasman.
“The American mob" is what Colonel
Thomas B. Swan, of West Virginia, an old
Confederate soldier, calls the followers of
General Hancock. Colonel Swan, in a let—
ter declining to run for Congress. says: “I
shall give to the nominees of the Chicago
convention a cordial support. I recognize in
General Hancock a distinguished public ser-
vant of great worth at the head of the Amer
ica'p mob. If the vexed question of national
supremacy over State sovereignty is not set-
tled when the States holding these views are
again strong we may look for a return to
arms. No party seeking to impose these
upon the public mind after the judgment of
Appomattox is a safe depositary of power
for the American people. We must have
peace to have national security. We can-
not have either so long as a large and re-
spectable part of the people cherish and seek
to enforce these revolutionary views. We
must be all nationality or all State sovereign
ty as taught in the resolutions of '98 and ’99.
If the questions are not settled, and the
ground is still debatable, the results that
flow from the controversy may at any time,
and will at some time, again lead to an ap-
peal to arms, because there is no (other tri—
bunal that can in our system settle so delicate
a question. ‘

Poor Mr. English, the democratic candi-
date for the vice-presidency, runs against lots
of things that annoy him. Now somebody
has unearthed the fact that, in the past three
years, according to the court records of In—
diana, English has foreclosed a little more
than two hundred mortgages on property
about Indianapolis. How many be fore-
closed before that date is not reported. But
two hundred foreclosures give him a 300d
start as the “poor man’s friend?”

Logof the Pioneer Yacht Club.
’ The Pioneer Yacht Club, composed prin—
cipally of members of Pioneer Hook & Lad-
der Co., of Norwalk, with two gentlemen
from Danbury, started on their first cruise
eastward, July 26th. The club left South
Norwalk at 4:35 under command of the fol-
lowing officers:
Commodore, Harry Rider.
Vice Commodore, William L. Jackson.
Scribe, William E. Buxton.
Gunner, John E. Moore.
Asst. Gunner, Benjamin Allen.
Sailing Master, John B. Rider.
Cook, Stephen Clarkson.
The other members of the club, Calvin
DeMuthOand William Osborne, there being
common seamen.
At the signal from the gunner the club
got under way and after clearing Norwalk
Islands, headed eastward at 5:05,wind south.
Passed Black Rock light at 6:06. Steamer
Laura passed us at this point and answered
the salute sent by the Vice Commodore
through our (steam) fog horn. Passed Strat-
ford light at 7:05. Wind being rather too
fresh made harbor at Charles’ Island in com-
pany with anumber of other vessels, at 8:30
and partook of our first meal. The coffee
being too strong, together with the high sea.
running, two of the boys'and the cook were
sea-sick. Weighed anchor for New London
at 1:15 a. m. Passed Faulkner's Island light
at 6:30, with light wind from the west.
Passed Cornfield light at 10:20 with good
breeze from the southwest; all hands very
sleepy. Passed Cornfield Light Ship at
10:45; becalmed of east end of Long Island
with New London harbor in sight. The
Commodore here predicted a "Agony" blow.
Made Niantic harbor at 5 p. m. from a
threatened shower and laid to about an hour,
the blow predicted by the Commodore not
making its appearance but quite a shower of
rain instead. Weighed anchor and started
for New London with wind south, south-
west; passed New London light at 7:20 and
came to anchor of the city at 9:30. It was
rather late. but five of the boys went on
shore and reported a good time. Staid all
Wednesday in the harbor, visited the city
and neighboring forts. The boys wanted to
know if the Commodore wasn't going to start
a post office from the number of letters he
received and sent, and when he could think
of nothing more to write about he got one
of the boys to do it for him; the asssistant
gunner, in writing to his wife, was so much
confused that he.forgot_to put the number of
the house on his postal.§,'l‘urned in rather
late and pretty well “tired” out. Left New
London at 10:30}. m., Tursday, to try our
luck at fishing. Passed New London light‘
at 10:30, Bartlett’s Reef Light Ship at 11:30;
encountered aheavy squall while in the Race
and have to for half an hour till it passed.
Started on again and set three lines at work
but no one had a bite. Pulled in lines and
headed for Greenport where we arrived at
4:30 p. in. Greenport is a nice place, con
nected with Shelter Island by a :small ferry
boat; the steamer Frances also connects
with the Long Island Railroad here for New-
port. We staid here all night and I guess
the boys will never forget this place, it is
such a quiet, old-fashioned town. Started
for black fish at 11:30 Friday; boys pretty
blue from the "scold” they got the night
before. “Now, look here, my friend,” “You
had bettter not come around here, we’re
from New York, and we've got something
aboard that shoots.” “Give me that piece of
iron, Osie," “Now just let go that rope, Ben,
please do," and similar sayings will always
remind the boys of Greenport. Caught a
good mess of fish and sailed on to Sag Har-
bor; had one of the pleasantest sails of the
trip going into port; there was just enough
wind to carry us along nicely; and the musi-
cal portion of the party entertained a number
of yachtmen with vocal and instrumental
music, receiving much praisedherefor. Sag
Harbor, which was;the:first port of entry in
the United States, is a very old and sleepy
town, and was at onetime a great center for
the Whalers, almost the entire busines of the
place being connected with whale fishery,
but that is almost, entirely abandoned now.
Left at 4:40 a. m. for New London; tried
blue fishing again but had no bites; passed
Plum Island light at 9:10, Bartlett’s Reef
light at 10:45, New London light at 11:30,
and landed in the city at 12 in. All hands
went on shore to get their letters, the Com-
modore, as usual,getting more than his share.
Some of the crew say that :he 'wrote them
himself and had them sent here, but of
course that is all spite. Staid in New Lon-
don Sunday and Monday. The Neptunes ar-
rived in port‘Sunday afternoon. We were
intending to start for home on Monday, but
there being such a gale outside it was con-
sidered wise not to attempt it. The Brook—
lyn Yacht club came into the harbor for
shelter, there being some twenty-six of them,
forming a very handsome sight. Weighed
anchor on Tuesday morning at 6:30; pused
New London light at 7:30, and after drifting
about went into Niantic to avoid a squall,
which “Harry" knew was sure to come;
started again and got as far as Saybrook at
7:16, with more or less rain all day. Left
Wednesday morning with a good breeze and
got as far as Charles' Island where we were
again obliged to stop on account of the
rain which was so severe that we could
hardly see the length of the boat. Started
again in about two hours and stopped in
Black Rock harbor Wednesday night, and
arrived in South Norwalk at 8:30 Thursday
morning, all well and hearty and very well
pleased with the first trip of the club. There
were some drawbacks, but it being a sort of
experimental one they can be overlooked.
There were a number of amusing incidents;
while in New London Mr. Moore wanted to
buy nearly all the blue fish line the keeper
had; Cal. got his book caught in the anchor
rope, while black fishing, and lost his it,
but he knew that he had a big fish on for he
pulled so, and he‘could hardly be convinced
otherwise ‘tlll the sailing master showed
him the book. Mr. Moore bought vaseline
for hisvsun burned feet; he could not see
how it disappeared so, but Ben. thinks Osic
ways off for shore as soon as he struck a
port. Harry was forever predicting a blow
which never came. Jackson, DeMuth and
Allen were the life of the party.
Norwalk, Aug. 4th.
A missionary of the American Sunday
school Union in the Southwest writes:
“Among the Miami Indians I found’a Pres-
byterian lady from Washington, D. 0.,
teaching a dgy school. She gave up the
afternoon session to me and my Quaker
our visit to her school, as she hrd seen no
white visitor since she went to if. She wad
overjoyed when we hold meetings on the
Sabbath and organized a Sunday school. A
Modoc boy who had seen me, threeyears
before, in a Modoc Sunday school,recognized
me, and remembered that when I was there
whiter than snow." That school was organ-
ized four years ago in a little Modoc cabin.‘
Now they have a good school house and a
number of Christians. Last Sunday I held
a meeting at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian
Church, which had no pastor, no Sunday
school, nor prayer meeting, nor anything
pleasant but the view from their bill; I organ-
ized a Sunday school there.

The last piece of rustic laziness encoun-
tered by out of town correspondents is that
of the man who, being asked what ailed his
eye, answered , “Nothin' 5 I shut it coz I can
see well enough with one. SometimesI shut
one, sometimes t’other."
Many physicians claim that intemperance
is 'a disease. It must be contagious then ; at
any rate, a man who gets drunk usually
catches it when he goes home. There may
appear to be some little discrepancy or con—
tradiction here, but we can’t stop for that
now.—Hawkeye.
A Nebraska Indian contrived to swallow a

The Coming Trotter.
Maud S. has been so often pen pictured
that any extended notice now would be
superfluous, but as the thorough blood and
trotting ‘blood advocates discussed her at
length after her wonderful performance of
2:17;» at four years old, we will give our im-
pressions of her. A chestnut, or golden
sorrel, 15;» to 15$1 hands, she is not a
Hambletonian and by no means a Harold in
appearance, but in general appearance a type
of the thoroughbred, possibly breeding back
to Boston; head of fair size, clean cut and
handsome; ear of good size but handsomely
tapered and blood-like ; good length of neck,
with good length of barrel; broad, strong,
loin-coupling well,back,or, rather the “spinal
process long back of the coupling," like St.
used most of it on his head, for he was al- '
companions, being very much pleased with .
I talked about .“Wash me, and I shall the -
J ulien, her croup, consequently, too short
for perfect lines of beauty. We failed to
detect any indications of an infirm leg or
feet, as has been so often claimed. She wears
a fourteen ounce shoe and a four ounce toe
weight, and light shoe behind. She wears
tendon shin boots forward and quarter boots
behind. She wears scalpers and shin and
pastern boots. .We remember one prominent
writer states that “the thorough blood in her
has overcome the Canuck tendency, through
Pilot, Jr.,to high knee action." If we were
to criticise her action at all, we should say
she had an excess of knee action; certainly .
much more than St. Julien.

A correspondent of the Baltimore, (Md.)
Sun, writes from Cornwall Plain: The con-
viction is that, after all. there is no great dif-
ference between the Yankee and the South-
erner, except this—that here a sterile soil and
an inhospitable clime developed habits of
industry and economy which have become
part of the mental and moral frame of the
New Englander, while with us a genial clime
productive lands and abundant servants en—
couraged the love of ease, the habit of spend-
ing and of being waited on. Very noteworthy
is the fact, daily. forced uaon me, that these
people have hands, know what to do with
them, and do it.

If half the stories about English are true
the Democracy made a fearful blunder in
nominating him for the Vice Presidency.
He is immensely wealthy, but made his
money largely by oppressing the poor. by
sharp practices, and by miserly hoarding his
funds, if the stories are correct. He fore-
closed without mercy on Democrats and
Republicans alike, and ruined many
solely for the purpose of adding to his
own gains. One man, for instance, claims
that when he owned property worth $25,000
he got into the clutches of English and was
ruined. He is said to have foreclosed on
hundreds of pieces of real estate. Certainly
he cannot be called the poor man's friend.
C
One of the Democratic newspaper organs,
printed in Washington, has issued a call for
a campaign subscription fund to be raised by
Confederate soldiers,each one of whom shall
pay $5. It is estimated that this will produce
a net sum of $1,500,000,to which the further
sum of $2,000,000 must be added by other
subscriptions. This is certainly a fibers], if
not extravagant, provision for a campaign
fund. One might reasonably suppose that the
Democrats intend to go into the business of
vote-buying on the largest scale.

The New York Tribune makes the follow-

That’s a Fact.
A man can’t work unless he feels well.
The hard times have made plenty of people
sick simply by worrying them almost out of
their wits about money and business. Some
have gone crazy, and some have killed them-
selves. Trouble of mind has brought on
trouble of body. There is indigestion,
heaviness in the head, and all that. Are you
afflicted in this way? Go and invest One
Dollar for a. bottle of 'Dr. David Kennedy's
“Favorite Remedy," and it will make a new
man of you. It takes the bile out of the
blood, and is worth a trip to Rondout, N. Y.
—the Doctor's homes-on foot,i£ you can not
get it more easily. First, however, see if
your druggist hasn’t got it.

Hon. J. H. Snyder, of Saugsrties, N. Y.,
gratefully testifies to the ability of “ Favorite

daughter who was covered with Salt Rheum
from head to foot. “ Favorite Remedy," says
this thankful father, “relieved my girl alto-

This occurred two years ago, and not a sign
of the disease has since appeared." What it
did for this child it will do for all who use it.
LIVER DISEASE.
Mr. J. H. Northrop, of Lansingburg, N. Y,
for several years Captain of the Troy police,
says: “I have been for a long time a great
sufferer from derangement of the Liver, and.
after using many of the medicines recom.
mended for that complaint, Dr. Kennedy's
lIli'avorite Remedy’is the only one which
gave me any relief. I firmly believe that the
