Fairfield County Items.

——

WILTON.

The result of the election, while of course
a disappointment to the vanquished party now
leaves people at liberty to go about the usual
walks of life.

The Congregational church has extended a
call to the Rev. Frank Thompson of Wind-
ham.

Mr. J. H. Cooke is re-roofing his domiCile~

There are many well founded complaints
concerning the sale of cider.

Next to Thanksgiving for bringing home
absentees is a Presidential election. Three
Wilton boys came from Washington, D. C.,
to vote for their candidates. p

The young people connected with the Con-
gregational church are contemplating an en—
tertainment for the benefit of the Sunday
School. .

The democratic banner is down, but some
of the pugnacious democrats claim that they
expect to air it again in ’84. ‘1 '

Wilton wants some law suits to stir up
matters now that politics have subsided.

Mrs. G. A. Davenport, 2nd, believing that
Wilton will support a dressmaker has hung
outa shingle to that efiect.

The republican majority in Wilton on the
electoral ticket was 28 and on representative
20.

The Congregational Sunday School expect
to give one of their interesting concerts on
Sunday next. '

There is a case on the records of one of our
churches, where a death at the age of 101
years and about 4 months, is recorded, and
in the way of marriages there the groom was
at the tender age of eighty-three and the
bride only seventy—eight. With such facts
before them the present generation need be
in no hurry about consummating the bargain
of life.

 

 

 

GEORGETOWN.

A Sunday—scool concert under the direc-
tion of James L. Ambler Of Norwalk. one of
the Fairfield County Sunday-school Commit—
tee, was held here Thursday afternoon, Oct.
28th. The meeting was conducted by W.
H. Hall, Secretary of the State Sundy-school
Association. After a brief devotional ser—
vice a short time was devoted to a conversa
tion on “The exercises of a Sunday‘school
and how to conduct them.” Rev. C. S.
Wing of Norwalk gave an excellent address
on “How to prepare a Sunday—school les-
son," and was followed by Rev. E. D. Bent-
ley of Norwalk, in an earnest address on
“How to hold the young people in the Sun—
day-school." Rev. Mr.,Crofut of Georgetown,
C. B. Morehouse, Edward Pinekney, and E.
G. Bennett, also took part in the discussion
of the various topics and in answering the
questions that were collected. Although the
attendance Was not large the meeting was
one of interest and profit to all who were
present.

REDDING.—Rev. J. J. Haugh has returned
to Dansville, NY. He is still feeble, but
thinks that he is on the way to a complete
recovery—The Methodist Society have en-
gaged Mr. White, of New Jersey, as their
minister till the end of conference year.—Mr.
Jared Olmstead cast his sixteenth ballot for
President.—Mrs. Eunice Hewitt, the mother
of Mrs. Thomas Sanford, died last Thursday
aged 80. The religion of the gospel gave her
great comfort and support. -

 

 

WEST STRATFORD.

329.

Fraud! FBAUDII FRAUD!!!

What a funeral was there.

“John Kelley did it all.”

S. J. T. winks his larboard eye.

This is a bad year for “superb” candi-

...dates.
And for deputy sheriffs also. .

“After election Mr. T. W. Wood can busy
himself as correspondent of several dirty

ipapers." Mr. T. W. W. rises to ask, what
will Mr. Deputy Sheriff Bartram do now ?

“We don’t have scalawags in our party.”—
Deputy Sherry?“ Bartram.

Very true Mr. Bartram, but judging from
the vote of Fairfield County for Sheriff, a
large number of democrats voled to retire
certain deputies, yourself included. Did
you, when you made the original remark
have yourself, and some of your colleagues
in mindf-T. W. Wood.

The following is the vote of West Strat-
ford. Garfield 207, Hancock 176, Weaver
13. Bigelow 207, English 176. Greenback
vote 15. Miles 207, Feet 176, Cleaveland 15
Crosby 207, Sanford 174, Greenback vote 15
Barnum 209, Seymour 172, Greenback vote
15. Lyman S. Catlin, rep. was elected rep
resentative by 144 majority. Four years
ago Haye's, majority in this town was 68.
This year Garfield’s majority is 153 ; a repub-
lican gain of 85.

.We predicted some time ago, that Strat-
ford would give Garfield 150 majority. We:
came within three votes of being correct.

The result in this voting district is especé
ially gratifying; heretofore it has been con-
sidered a stronghold of the democracy; in
1876 it gave Tilden a majority of between
forty and fifty votes. The result this year
has been" accomplished not wholly by the
Town Committee, but by earnest work on the
part Of republicans generally.

Certain democrats of this place are plead-
ing the “baby act;” their party was
“bought.” They threaten to get out a list.
and have it published, of democrats who.
sold their votes. We are anxiously awaiting
its appearance. We have a little addition to:
make to it,—of a very prominent democrat
who gave a man two dollars to go and vote:
the democratic ticket; the man took the two
dollars, but he had already noted the other
«gay. Another man got fifty cents to “hang.
around and kind 0' keep watch of things."
Would our democratic friends like to know
the names of the.partles? We can give
them. '

The Sentinel of last week very pertinently
called attention to the practice of some
(men ?) who follow voters to' the ballot bbx'
for the purpose of seeing what ticket they
vote. It is a pernicious practice, and should
belstopped. It was attempted .inthis, place,
but the “sneaks” were given jto understand
it would not be tolerated.

One of the most gratifying results of the
canvass, is the triumphant reelection of
‘Hon. Fredeick Miles. Mr. Barnum was
shrewd enough to' know that Mr. Miles
would be re—elected, and therefore declined
'theldcmocratic nomination. A _ -

We would suggest that “Mechanic," who
had such a ponderous article on the Chinese
letter, in the Sentinel some time ago, be
looked up and placed away for safe keeping
till 1884. . 7 . . ,

It is safe to assumethat a South Norwalk
rum hole will,not exert so much of 'an in-
fluence on the politics of Fairfield County in
the future, as it has in the past. The Far-
mer says deputy sheriffs wield a great in-
fluence in politics. W.

Among the results, incidents and humors
of the day may be mentioned: A full poll of
Republican votes save one. Dr. ~R. C. M.
Page, came from New York and voted for
Garfield. Mr. D. C. Birdseli voted for Mr.
J. Wheeler, thus favoring the re-election of
his ifriend, Senator Eaton. Mr. Horace
Staples voted for Garfield, and this election
was the, 15th presidential in which he
has taken part, Mr. Scudder Bradley 0 t
his 16th vote, and Captain Alfred Taylor his
17th. Mr. Thomas W. Miller cast his first
vote. W. B. Douglass of Washington, came
here to vote and was challenged on the silly
pretext that the death of his mother dullng
the year made him ineligible, His vote was
cast and counted. James Allen and jeweller
iWheeler did not vote being dilfident—their
tender natures shrinking, as it were. from
contact with the naughty, wrangling politi-
cians. The two would look well in a picture
frame. J. W. Hurlbutt says there is no truth
in the story that Chairman Barnum sent $500
into the towniOr election (f) purposes,and he
offers to'pay $500 to the man who can show
that such money was sent. It cannot be
disputed, however, that two letters relating
to the subject of money were received here,
and that the sender got the wrong letter into
the right envelope, and the right man who
got the wrong letter let the secret out. It is
claimed that $50 put into the hands of Mr.
Patrick Campbell for a certain purpose was,
after his withdrawal, given in equal sums to
help elect a certain candidate, and that they
did not help as expected, but kept the
money. Lyon and Bradley are happy as
factors who helped deal Sheriff Ssnford’s
death blow. Representative elect Wheeler
says, there’s more fun being in the minority,
than on the other side. .

The Boys in Blue will parade Tuesday
night, in honor of victory as follows: From
headquarters to Compo street. to Myrtle
Avenue, to Main. to State, to West Avenue
as far as Captain Staples, to Flagg Avenue,

'A sooiAr. EVENT

On Wednesday. last, at the house- Of
Captain and Mrs. Francis Sherwood, Sauga—
stuck, three brothers, who were born triplets
—Messrs. Frederick, Francis and Franklin
Sherwood celebrated the 70th anniversary of
their birth. The day was auspicious in the
mellow sunshine of November, and must
have contrasted strangely with that of 70
years before when the brothers first saw the
light, on which occasion, according to the
testimony of those, who know, one of the
severest snow storms ever heard of set in,
blocking the highways leading to the island,
which still bears the Sherwood name. It is
a remarkable fact that the mother of the
brothers was over fifty years old at the time
of their birth, and that they are the only
survivors of a family of ten children. In
youth they resembled each other so closely
that strangers, and sometimes their parents,
and difficulty in telling them apart.

This resemblance has attached to them
through life, and tO-day, in size, statue,
demeanor and voice, they are wonderfully
alike. They have invariably signed their
names “F. Sherwood,” and many times peo-
ple transacting business with them have been
obliged to exeroise adroltness in using a
homely expression, “telling 'tother from
which.” An illustration happened in a south-
ern city Where they casually met years ago,
may be cited: One brother went into a bar-
ber shop and was shaved. Shortly after,
brother number two entered, and the barber
thinking it was the same man he had just
finished, remarked: "Seems to me your beard
grows rapidly '1’" And he proceeded to op-
erate on the face, as be. supposed, a second
time. Later, brother number three came in,
and demanded to be shaved. He was accom-
modated by the barber who, as he put on the
finishing touches remarked : “Wish there
were more such as you—think there would
be profit in the barber business,” or words to
that effect. The brothers were brought up
on their father's farm, and soon after leaving
school shipped for sea at the port of New
York. . In a short time they became captains
of vessels and sailed all over the civilized
world. Capt. Frederick engaged in the
coasting trade between New York, Charleston
and Savannah, and after making six voyages

' .to Calforniea via Cape -Horn, in the ship

Skylight, retired. Captain Francis engaged
itirst in coasting and afterwards made several
trips to European parts. It was he who, in
1847, in the ship Caroline, bore Genera]
Scotts dispatches announcing the capitulation
of, the city of Mexico and the surrender of

Captain Franklin was a
coaster too, and afterwards voyaged to far ofl
China, and many times to Europe. After
mere than thirty years of “life on the ocean
wave,” they each returned to this, their na-
tive pl’ahe, having earned reputation as
thorough seamen, and men of energy and
system.

It was fitting that the day marking three
score‘ pears and ten, attained by men whose
birth and lives had been so- remarkable,
should be observed, and Mrs. Francis Sher-
wood who proved herself equal to the emerg-
ency prepared her house to assist in‘tlie
pleasant task.
each groaned beneath its weight of the good
things provided. At the head of each table

The three captains being in full command,
and each having “a right good crew” were,
after a blessing, pronounced by Rev Mr.
Davenport, in their glory. They carved the
turkeys with grace, and in true nautical style
enjoined guests to help “bail out the gravy."
For the nonce they were at home again “on
the rolling deep.’, Wit flashed and words of
cheer made everybody feel easy. Following
the repsst came social conversation,and many
a yarn of events of earlier years was spun.‘
The family'bible containing a record which
the brothers jocnlarly termad “the log” was
brought out. Three names, the last of a
long l'st, with the date, Nov, 3, 1810, Oppo-
site each, appeared, carrying the thoughts of
the reader back to the beginning of the
present century. As the shades of evening
fell a scene which few mortals can say they
have witnessed closed with hand shaking,
and ardent wishes for the brothers’ continued
good health, and long life. A significant fact
should be stated, that one daughter of each

of six deceased brolhers sat among the guests.
