Fairfield County
' s—.
CITY WEST NORWALK.

Our Councilmen after a recess of three
months, are greatly exercised over the fact,
that our sisters, the City and Borough have
concluded to muddle their charters, and we
have come to the conclusion, to have a new
one, consisting ofthree sections only, giving
to our Mayor full authority, and provide that
he shall not wear paper collars, appointing a
city attorney to prosecute all offenders, thus
increasing his authority and emoluments
greatly, and preventing any other attorney
from prosecuting cases within the city, and
providing that the council shall meetfor bus-
inessjonly once in three months,but that they
may order the grading of the same street and
sidewalkpnce every year. With _he new
charter, we think everything will be perfect.

The anniversary and Christmas festival of
the Sabbath School, was held in Union
Chapel on Thursday eVening, it being to
stormy on Wednesday for the children to be
present. The gathering was-not large. The
services were Opened by an anthem sung by
the choir, and prayer by the Rev. Mr. _Brad—
ford of Daricn. After a few remarks by Mr.
Reed the Superintendent, he called upon.
Rev. Mr. Bradford to talk to the children
and youths, which he did in his usual happy
manner, and closed by giving an interesting
account of his recent journey to St. Louis.
Mo., and to parts of the Indian territory,
where Snnday schools have been established
and are in successful operation.

It has been a wonder how your typo could
make “Kiss of Love” out of “Tokens of
Love." He must put on his leather specks
and eat less pumpkin piwhsn he is visit-
ing. .

Sleighing in and around our city, was
universally enjoyed on New Years day, very
few remaining at home to receive callers.

 

DARIEN. ‘

The Christmas entertainment given by the
M. E. Sunday School on Monday evening,
Dec. 27th, was 33. grand affair. The services
were opened with prayer by Rev. Mr.
Bradford, pastor of the Congregational
Church. After which'there were recitations
and singing by the children of the Sunday
School. Among the prominent features of
the entertainm entjwere several recitations by
a young gentleman, brother of the pastor’s
wife. After the programme had been carried
out Old Santa Claus appeared in full dress,
much to the‘delight of the children, and
each little one, and the larger ones too had
not been forgotten by that venerable per—
sonage. Mr. Langlois the pastor of the
‘ church was thc‘recipient of a well filled
purse, beside previously having been pre—
sented with,—,to use his otvn expression
nearly a whole poultry yard. The people of
his church appreciate their pastor and are
glad to thus show their love, and esteem for
him. . - _ -

The coming week will be a week of prayer.
Sorvice to be held the first three evenings in
the M. E. Church and the last three in the
Congregational church. ‘

ance of two cases of small pox in that city

' and by the prevalence of diphtheria. The

WESTPORT.

The farmers of Green’s Farms are agitat-
ing the subject of a freight depot and turn
out at that enterprising place, and Messrs.
D. H. Wood, J. H. Jennings, and II. B.
Wake'mau have been designated a committee
to talk the matter over with the New Haven
railroad company.

New Years’ morning was the coldest
known in this locality for years. At the trout
ponds, Poplar Plains, the thermometer was
20 0' below zero at sunrise, and Mr. Morris
Bradley says it was 22 0 below at his place.
The village hotel thermometer, which has
been considered the standard for years, was
well down, and our people generally are
satisfied with the quality and quantity of
Saturday’s cold. The river is closed and the
harbor far out among the Islands is a sea of
unbroken ice.

The annual meeting of the Green's Farms
club Will be held this (Monday) evening, at
the home of J. H. Jennings. Addresses will
be delivered by distinguished speakers.

Rumor has it that the late Jacob Roth did
not commit suicide by taking poison as was
reported in this column, but that poison was
administered to him. In short, he was
foully dealt with. Rumor further says cvi -
deuce points so strongly to this conclusion
that the remains may be disinterred and a
scientific investigation made, thc'reSnlts of
which will startle the public. Should all
this be done the significant fact remains that
deceased admitted to his wife on the fatal
morning - that he had taken poison for a
specific purpose. What strengthens belief
that there may be an investigation is the
presence in office of the same gentlemen who
hold violation of law in Such horror that,
last summer they cOuldu’t rest easy till every
dog owner in wwn who failed to rcgister at
afOrescribed time had been prosecuted.
These officials have two objects in view,——a
desire to assist in maintaining enthroned the
laws majesty, and to place themselves in the
ways of collecting fees. .

The su'n rose Friday in a cloudless sky,
and did all it could to make light of the

We may now set out to watch for the ful-
filment _of Mother Shipman‘s prophecy
that,— -

“The end of the world will come,
In eighteen hundred eighty—one.”

The lottery men have discovered a weak
point in the present stringent laws against
lotteries, and are flooding the country with
schemes of which the following is a speci-
men received here :—

New York. &c., &.c.

“On receipt of $10 sent to us we will
forward you a package of 10 assorted tickets
either in the grand scheme to be drawn so
and so, which will enable you to draw from
ten of,thc highest prizes. And so sanguine are
we that you will be successful that we agree,
should you not draw a prize of $500 or over,
to give you the same chance 0 er again in the
next drawing on 5 tickets fr f cost. This
gives you a double chance, and will help to
increase our already large business.” .

It is believed quite a number of ten dollar
bills have left town for that bourne, like the
traveler of which Shakespeare speaks.
Never to return.

While standing over a barrel of cider
which he. had three weeks before put into his
cellar, to see if it would do to remove the
bung and allow the cider to ferment, a man
on the west side'had the misfortune to re—
ceive the bung and a fair share of the con—
tents of the barrel in his face and on his
clothing, to the disgust of_his. wife who had
to scrape him down and wring out after-
wards- ‘

Theremains of Mrs. Matthieu, who died
Friday Dec. 3lst, .in New York, were,

It is not true that the justices elected in
November go into office January lst. The

till March hit, when they will march out of
office, never more, as is hoped to enter there.

There was a surprise party at the house of
Miss Jenn’ie Wilson, Friday night. Part of
the crowd of 50 or 60 who went from this
place, know how it originated and was
conducted. They had a "splendid time de-
spite the journey and exteme cold.

Why don’t they keep the bridge lamps
regularly lighted. .

Cold enough these January mornings for
afire in the horse oars. Even the veteran
Joe :Mill’s nose succumbed to the biting
frost. ‘

At therChristmas anniversary of the M.

E. Sunday School, Thursday cv‘ing, a
longer and more interesting programme of
exercises was gone throughiwith than on any
previous occasion. There was a large at-
tendance." ' .

day Scho'ols were made happy rough pres—
ents of books and confectionery, Tuesday

Mr. Horace Staples whose memory of past
events is very clear and acute says the
present winter opened and has continued
like that-of 1835-4the year of the great fire
in New York, the light from which, he says
was distinctly seen. The first cold day of
that winter, like the present, was Sunday,
Nov. 21, and low temperatures which hav
followed make it certain that weather histor?
is about to repeat itself. M‘taples says
the ice in the harbor and among the islands
froze tosueh a thickness that it was a
common thing for our people to drive
horses with slaighs upon it, and that the late
Captain Abraham, Sherwood and others fre—
quently drove from here to Shepperd’s
(Smith’s) Island to dig clams. PAllL.

this place.

Daniel Lewis, an old and respected citizen
of this place, died on Friday inst. His
funeral will be held to—day.

John Wragg, who sold his property 'on
Lake street two years ago and emigrated to
Kansas, is now preaching for the Bridgeport
Colony at Russell in the above named state.

Mr. George R. Warner is the possessor of
an account book that belonged to his great
grandfather one hundred years ago. We
have seen it and it is a really interesting
curiosity. The original owner, (William
Chafiee), rived and shaved the shingles for
the first Congregational church in Enfield,
Conn, one of the oldest structures or the
kind in the country. The writing in the
book is as plain as if written yesterday.

The New Year was ushered in in this
place with appropriate ceremonies. The
Summerfield school bell was rung, and Mr.
George H. Zink, J r., made a liberal display
of red fire. One of our most sedate citizens
on hearing the bell ring hurried to the school
houscuthinking it was on fire.

.Stratford mosquitoes are not very trouble—
some this weather. .

The sleighing is excellent in this vicinity,
and all who can are enjoying it. The boys
have got out the double ripper and now look
out for a chapter of accidents.

The Bridgeport Standard has issued a fine
calendar for 1881.

The. Bridgeport horse railway company are

ing will be left undone during the coming
year to accommodate the public.

The steamboat companies are having some
difficulty in making their trips on account of
theQ'eL. The old company has withdrawn
its day boat for the present. The bow of
the Roscdale has been sheathed with copper

to protect her from the ice, and the Granite
State is running in place of. the Bridgeport
while the’ shaft of the latter is being repaired.
The machine shop (consisting of the main

A Connecticut Woman,

One of the ,most pititful cases of poevrty
of the season was found at No. 3, top floor,
right hand front door, in Second street yes -'
terday. AWew. England couple, aged and
destitute, were visited by a Herald reporter
at the suggestion of a Broadway lawyer.

“I am a Connecticut woman,” said Mrs.
Adeline Mitchell, “and before I was married
I lived near New Canaan. We always had
enough to eat and our home wasa happy one
until the war broke out and my husband went
to fight for his country. In making a cavalry
raid he was wounded and carried of the field
insensible, but he recovered enough to serve
until the war ended. My son, who was a
tall, manly youth, enlisted at the age of six-
teen years, but he lost his life, and my other
son, who stayed at home to care for me, also
died, leaving my husband, who came home
a broken down old man, to support me. He
is in hopes of getting his pension money, but
the agent- says we may have to wait ayear.
We became very poor my brother,who lived
in Michigan, sent me money, but he too died
last year. Every one I knew in my ,youth is
dead." Here the poor woman burst' into
tears. “My husband’s feet are» so swollen
that he cannot wear shoes, and can scarcely
walk in bad weather,” she continued. “We
have been living on a loaf of bread a week, ‘
and we only have two slices of bread for our
Christmas dinner to-morrow. There has been
no meat in the house for ten days.” Again
the tears dame to Mrs. Mitchell’s eyes. She
said she was sixty years old, and her pale‘
checks and consumptive cough showed too
plainly that her. strength was nearly gone.
“My husband might go to the Soldiers
Home,” she continued, but he says he cannot
leave me to starve- . We have loved each other
for forty years. He has good habits, does
not drink, and each day we read the Bible
together and pray that we'might be kept off
the streets. When I am strong I go out and
pick up coal; that keeps us warm.” The
neighbors corroborated the lady's statement.
Her father and her grandfather fought 'n
the revolution and her husband is a Massa—
chusetts man of New England parentage.
He said he was entitled to a pension dating
from 1865, and had his claim been attended
to in time he would not be suffering from

poverty. .

The following divorces were granted by
the Superior Court, Bridgeport, last week:

Sarah A. Fitch, of Darien, from Marcus
Fitch, of Ridgcfield, on the ground of de-
sertiou, and the custody of one minor child,
was awarded to the petitioner.

Winfield Scott of New Canaan, from
Betsey J anc Scott of Norwalk, on the ground
of desertion.

Sarah E. Parks of Nor-walk, from George
Parks of Norwalk, on the ground of habitual
intemperancc' The custody of three children
was awarded to the petitioner and her name
.was changed to Sarah E. Saunders.

O .
New York to Boston.

The Boston Journal in an article upon the
New York and New England road, which.
assumes that the company has bought and by
July, 1882, will have in running order the
Port Chester and Ridgefleld road,revicws the
routes between New York and Boston. The

 

 

 

-following table shows the lines and the dis-

tance by them between the two cities:

. 01d routes. Distance.
Via Springfield, 234.
Via Shore Line. 235

Via Brewster’s & Harlem road. 213 191

Via Brewster’s, New York and ‘

From this it will be seen that the shortest .

rail routes between the two cities is by the
Air Line; and the longest is by the proposed
new road. now nearly all built from Harlem
River to Brewster’s. B6 the Air Line is
closed from competition by its lease to the
Consolidated road. The next shortest route
is the Wiiiimantic and Hartford line, but
here of course there is no competition. As—
suming the New York all! New England to
be aiming to secure a through route entirely
independent of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford, its shortest line is 237 miles
long. or will be when built, and its most
feasible is 243 miles long by the Harlem rail-

road.

(From the Correspondence cf' the Kingston, N. Y"

The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Bond-
out, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of woman’s power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for Erysipclas of the hand, without benefit.
Not until her hand had become a mass of pu-
trified flesh, did she turn to Dr. Kennedy, pi’o-
prictor of the “Favorite Remedy,” for help.

He informed her that it was impossible to
save the hand—it must be amputated. Ste
received this terrible intelligence quietly, dio-
clined to take other, stipulating merely to
hold her husband’s hand during the operation,
and underwent the painful process without
moving a muscle or uttering a. groan. Dr.
Kennedy then gave “Favorite Remedy"frecly
to cleanse the blood and prevent the return of
the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great deliverance. .

stant pain in my back and affection of‘lhe spin". 1

several physicians, but never received any pollu-
uncnt benefit until Inpplied to Dr. Fiske, am”
am satisfied he is the only one that cvcrundcr-
stood my case. llccxaminorl mc cluirvoyanlly
and explained my disease satisfactorily. and pre-
pared medicines which reached the seat of my
disease at once. Ile also gave me several magnet-
