WEST NORWALK.
Messrs. Charles Stevens of: Co. have cut
from the woods of the late Samuel Seymour
about 60 of the finest white wood trees, that.
ever grew. They Were purchased by a firm
who manufacture Sieves, near Talmage Hill,
New Canaan. .
At our late Public School Exhibition, 'a
dialogue was spoken, seemingly castingre—
flections on the young 'peoples association.
There is much talk about it, and apparently
the end is not yet. . .
The Messrs Bates Brothers out dlId
themselves on Thursday evening at their
Social and Hop. Good Templars Hall was
well arranged for the occasion, The boxes
on the first floor Were occupied by some of
the first—class people. The festivrtles were
well conducted and enjoyment unbounded,
until the announcement was made for supI-
per, which was furnished free to all. It is
certain that this city can furnish, in pro—_
portion to its inhabitants, as many Belles,
as any city in Connecticut. Many delegates
were present from Daricn, New Canaan
and the Borough. Messrs. Bates also secur-
ed shelter and stable room for every them,
which brought the pleasure lovers here.
At an adjourned meeting of our council—
men, some opposition was shown to our
contemplated new charter. It is feared if
the mayor presides, he will without authori-
ty make the appointment of committees
instead of the senior councilman. It is the
wish of the majority to steer clear of such
rocks and quicksands.
DARIEN.
A few generous friends . presented Mr.
Bradford with a sleigh last week, and another
generous friend of South Norwalk, added a
nice string of bells. hr
Rufus Hoyt, of Ox Ridge, is very s ,
and has been for a week. Fears are cute:-
tained that he may not recover. Mr. Hoyt
is one of Darlen’s oldest and most honored
citizens. .
It is rumored that the young people of the
Congregational church, are to have a New
England Supper, on Washington’s birthday.
It is a good thing to lake time, and also to
give the people due notice. Judging from
the past, we are certain it will be a fine affair.
We hope they will be well patronized.
Theodore Prince died on Wednesday at
his residence, at Lockwood’s Corners. He
had been for years in feeble health, but it
Was difficult to decide the nature of his
disease. Apost mortem examination showed
an internal cancer. He was an industrious
man, a' good citizen and an honored member
of the church. His funeral was attended by
Rev.’ Mr. Bradford, at Upper Five 'Mile
River chapel. There was a large audience
and anIble, eloquent, and comforting dis-
course.
Mr. Bradford gave an impressive sermon
on Sunday evening, on The Unpardonable
Sin. He conclusively showed it to be a
moral and religious condition of the heart.
This condition is produced by long and per-
sistent sinning against clear light and deep
convictions. All listened with undivided
attention, and seemed to leave the church
pondering what the preacher had said.
We hear that Mr. Elmer Nash is to sell out
his shoe store in Darien, and open a variety
store in West Norwalk. Mr. Nash has done
a good business, and will be missed. He and
his family, will be an addition jto the place
where he is going. W.
On Thursday of last week, Mr. J. C. Jones
met with a serious, if not a fatal accident.
While standing on a ladder that leads to a
loft in one of his outbuildings, he felt the
ladder give way under him, and in his
endeavor to break the fall, caught at a barrel
filled with corn that stdod near the trap door
pulled it over, andgwith it fell to the floor.
He was found shortly after, in an almost
unconscious state, and taken to the house.
Medical aid was at once summoned, and it
was found that the unfatnnate man had
three ribs broken, his shoulder dislocated and
his hip joint cracked. At the present writ -
ing the doctors are' unable to decide as to the
result, as the sufferer is in a critmal condi.
tion. _
The people of Darien will not want for ice
the coming season, judging from the quanti—
ty that has been housed during the cold
weather.
The sleigbing has been enjoyed to its full-
est extent, although the enjoyment is some-
what lessened by the nuisace of boys coast-
ing on the highways, especially after dari.
Feed the birds“. Thousands of these little
feathered songsters, that make our summers
delightful with their music, are starving to
death. The recent heavy snow storms, ex-
tending over so wide an area of country, and
covering everything eatable on the land, has
drawn the birds to the barn yards and around
the houses, seeking for such scraps of food
as can be only_ found thereabouts. A few
crumbs of bread or a handful of grain,_buck’-
wheat, wheat, rice, or corn meal, thrown
where chickens cannot get it, or the snow
cover it, will soon find dozens of birds eagerly
devouring if. A country without birds, is a.
mean place to live in. .
A call for a town meeting, to consider the
question of the legality of abating the tax
and relieving the bondsmen of Stephen
Seely, the defaulting town collector, is
posted for January 29th, at 2 o'clock. The
call is signed by democrats and republicans
in about equal numbers, and seems to have
been'prompted by a generous feeling of the
citizens to lighten a burden, which now
threatens to fall rather heavily on two or
three. The bondsmen have had nothing to
. do directly or indirectly with the getting up
of the call.
BEDDING.
Rev. W., T. Hill, the P;esiding Elder of
this District, preached in the Methodist
Church on the afternoon of the 9th inst.
It is said that ice on Blackman’s Pond is
two and a half feet thick.
Bradley Hill, an aid resident and a prom-
inent man, died on Monday ‘of last week,
aged 82 years, and 4 months. His funeral
was attended from his late residence on
Thursday.
The agent of the “History of Fairfield
County," was around last week delivering
the books to subscribers. The book has a
handsome appearance, and interesting look,
but was evidently hastily prepared. The
subscribers here, who had their portraits
and sketches of their lives inserted in the‘
book, are greatly disappointed, dissatisfied,
, and chagrined. The portraits in instances
are a little better than caricatures.
The extra copies are on indifierent paper.
.The subscribers were expecting engravings,
' which would be worthy of being given to
their children and friends. They feel that
those prepared are only fit for ashes.
The agent gave them the assurance, that
if any parties should subscribe at a less than
the fixed price, thy should receive the book
and portraits at a similar price. ~ It transpires
and in fact the agent has himself stated it as
fact, that others were received as subscribers
at a less rate.
For these and other reasons there is a
disposition to withhold payment. What
the upshot of the mattter will be is not yet
apparent. -
In the ,obituary of Mrs. Abby Starr in the
last issue, there is one ’error. Mrs. Starr's
maiden name was Sanford. She was a na-
tive of Easton, not of Bedding. Her hus-.
band was also from the same place.
There has been glorious sleighlng. .

WESTPORT. '
The position of the man who lives on
Caukeen's Island is not envied at this time.
He is little better off than one in the polar
regions. -
Mr. Barnabas Allen, of Danbury, formerly
of Westport, who will be ninety years. old
in March next, was here a few dayll since,
accompanied by his son-in-law. MF- J-M-
Potter, the popular Music dealer 0f NOFWMk-
Mr. Allen spoke of the early years Of his
life passed here, and alluded to the fact that
in 1812 himself,a man named Frazer and
several others stood guard for many days on
“Compo” Hill, the late 0. M. Bennett being
in command. Expected incursions by the
British forces alarmed the people who, to
protect themselves formed into squads of
volunteers, and he was one of the first to
join in the defence. It is well known that
Mr. Bennett, who died two years ago. never
received anything from the government for
his services, and indeed he did not seek to
obtain it till near the close of his long and
busy life. Mr. Allen’s work was equally
important yet neither has his service been
rewarded. But it should be at once. He
volunteered, and to all intents and purposes
fought in his country’s defence, and he
comes to us down through the years of a
century of. marvellous progress, as one of the
few now left of those who lived in the times
that tried men's souls. For these reasons, if
for no others, this veteran should receive a
pension.
Mr. Francis Taylor, of New Berlin, 111.,
son of the late Dan Taylor of this place, is
here for the first time in 30 years visiting old
friends. Time has dealt gently with him,
though age is having its effect. Mr. Taylor
will return shortly to Illinois.
The prizes intended for the children of the
Saugatuck Congregational Sunday . School,
which should have been awarded on the
occasion of the society’s 48th anniversary,
were given to the children Sunday 16th.
In the stomach of a cow slaughtered last
week by John Wood, was found a pound, by
actual weight, of cut nails. Alsoacopper
penny, which must have been spurious, as it
had not passed. .
The first sociable and dance of the “Old
Folks” will take place this (Tuesday) even—'
ing at Sturges’ Hall. This event is prelimi-
nary to the old folks regular annual party
which ,the lady managers say will occur in
February, and will eclipse any former gath-
erlllgssrs. Horace Staples, Edmund M. Tay-
lor, S. R. Sexton, Francis Sherwood, Thomas
R.- Lees, Edward H. Nash, H. A. Ogden,
Elijah S. Downes, and B. L. Woodworth
were chosen directors of the First National
Bank at the annual meeting held last week.
Messrs. Staples and Woodworth were subse-
quently chosen president and cashier. The
annual dinner occurred after the election.
The sledding on Church Hill never was
better than last Tuesday evening, when,
though in violation of a ,local ordinance,
more than a hundred boys and girls assem-
bled to have a little slide. Fate, instead of
law stepped in to interfere with their pleas-
ure. Mr. A. Allen was bounced froma rip-
per and cut his face. John Laley nearly lost
his life, and bad to be assisted home. Misses
Nolan and Baynham were thrown from sleds,
and Clad Wooster had a hand mashed. A
double ripper heavily loaded ran into a car-
riage, upsetting it. Indeed the evening was
one of accidents, and it is a wonder some of
the sliders did-not receive fatal injuries.
Mr. Joseph G. Hyatt has begun the prac-
tice of law‘ in Hurlbutt’s block.
The marriage of Miss Marietta Taylor to
Mr. Abbott, of Bingbamton New York, is
announced to take place Wednesday, 19th.
The regards of many warm friends will ac-
company the couple to their new residence.
The teachers of Christ church Sunday
School with whom Miss Taylor has long been
an ardent worker, will present their friend
with an elegant Bible, and the scholars by
whom she is much beloved, will give her a
fine photograph album.
A COWARDLY ATTACK.
It is not often the writer has occasion to
speak of himself. In his capacity of corres-
pondent of the GAZETTE during the past
fifteen years he has managed to get.along
without that indulgence. An incident took'
place last week, howeva, which renders a
deviation from custom proper. The writers
rule has been to outline the events of the
village truthfully, presenting them clothed in
a form of pleasant words, and never inten—
tionally misrepresenting. .In conformity
with these rules be caused to be printed in.
the GAZETTE the first afinouncement of the
death by poison of the late Jacob Roth.It was
supposed Roth committed suicide, and the
writer so stated it. Later, rumors became rife
that such was not the case, but that poison
was administered to deceased, and that he
had been foully dealt with.‘ In proof that
this belief was and is correct a stranger car-
ing to test the case has only to consult the
first half dozen people he meets in the village
The intention of the writer was simply to
state the matter asit appeared. John Roth,
son of deceased, aged about twenty years,
read the item, and catching the idea that the
writer meant to have the public understand
that he (Roth) or members of his family had
poisoned their father, took exceptions there-
to, and resolved to have revenge on the co'r-
respondent ou the ground that the respect-
ability of his family would be dama ’ed and
he in particular be brought into ‘d epute.
The performance about'to be described shows
the quality of his respectability and the high
tone of his character. Learning that the
Writer would reach home from Boston on
Tuesday, 11th. Roth watched the trains in
hope of a chance to carry out his designs.
Failing, he disguised himself, and near the
hour of midnight, Tuesday, called at the
writer's house, first at a south door, hi ce
being concealed by a cap, and second at a
front door, wearing a slouch hat. He had
an important telegram, he said, with in-
structions to deliver it in person to. the
writer. He was told that the writer was
not at home, but was informed where he
could be found,—either at the village or at
the house of Mr, B. W. Maples. With some
reluctance he left, and soon after called at
the last named place. Miss Clara Maples
answered his knock, and said the writer was
in. In response to his call the writer step—
ped to the door, without hat, supposing
the caller a boy from .the depot with a
telegram such as be frequently receives.
Roth would not enter the house but asked
the writer to come out upon the verandah.
Suspectng no ill, the writer did so, thinking;
Roth was bashful as boys :often are in the
presence of ladies. In a low tone he said
something about dispatches, and items in ‘a
paper, and about the responsibility for, and
consequences of the same, the whole business
being incoherent and without special
bearing. While listening for further
utterances Roth'raised his fist, in which the
writer believes was concealed a weapon of
stone or iron, and struck a blow in the
writer’s mouth knocking out one tooth and
breaking off another, following it with like
blows in the face and other parts of the face
and neck. The ,writer was stunned and
turning round was followed into the house
by Beth who struck him again. The ladies
screamed and Mr. Maples who was in a
back room, bearing the rumpus came to the
rescue and seizing Roth raised him from the
floor and swung him back on to the veran—
dah were a struggle for mastery occurred,
Roth boiled with rage, but the oaths and
vile words uttered by him were of no ac—
count,—Maples held him as with a visa till
he simmered down. Roth wanted to tear
the writer all to pieces for disgracing him in
the paper, and he’d have-satisfaction, and he
howled, and talked about the likelihood .of
the writer’s putting less into the papers
hereafter than he had heretofore done. The
writer then called on Justice Finch, who
had retired, and he advised taking the as-
sailant to the lock-upfor the night without
the formality of getting a warrant and an'
officer. Owing to the prevalence of the snow
storm, and the' lateness of the hour it was
decided to let Roth go. Next day a warrant
was issued for his arrest, but he had fled, so
.o- - -...
. WT
atlair caused a good deal of excitement in
the village, and the opinion is general that
he should be punished, as he is likely to be
crclong, to the. full extent ofthe ,law. The
writer’s friends regret that he did not, on the
spot, administer a castigation to Both, such
as would cause him to ‘Lrepent the day he
made the attack, but sober opinion will act
as an assurance that the courts will do exact
justice in the case. PAUL.

. We have been shown another old account

Mr. William H. Rankin, General Super-
intendent at Rogers 85 Brittins, was married
on Tuesday last, in Providence, R. 1., to
Miss Clara Bradley of Taunton, Mass. Mr.
Rankin was for along time employed by the
Reed 59:. Bartram Company of Taunton, and
on Saturday last received ,‘_a handsome pres-
ent from his former fellow workmen. It is
a group of statuary by Rogers, entitled Tm:
PanTmG Pnomsa.
We have been shawn an {Historical Cabi-
net owned by Major prt of the Bridgeport
Morning News. It is very handsomely ar-
ranged. An apartment in the centre con—
tains mementoes of the late war, consisting
of swords (three of them) that were worn
by the Major at different times while in the
service. Two of them: were presented {0
him by his friends .on different occasions.
The army revolver that was carried by him
in the service’ has also a place in the
collection. on the butt of it is the‘ follow-
ing inscription: “DEATH To Tnarrons.”
Numerous other articles also contribute their
part towards filling it, among which are a
fragment of wood from the frigate Cumber—
land that was sunk by the Virginia in
Hampton Roads,‘a lath taken from the house
at Yorktown, Va., in which Cornwallis
surrendered to Washington, a bullet with
which the Major was struck, but fortunately
its force was spent when it reached him.
One can hardly describe the cabinet to others;
it must be seen to be appreciated. It is a
life history, and a record -of‘ which Major
Hoyt may justly be proud. The side apart—
ments, of which theretwo contain historica[
works, books on military matters, and works
of art, representing scenes during the re-
bellion. A sketch books [contains represen-
tations of scenes in the history of the 8th
Conn. Vols. from the time they left home,
until the beginning cf the James’ River
Campaign. The sketches were drawn by a
member of Company A, and are very life-
life; better than the illustrations contained
in f_the pictoral papers of that time. The
lower portion of the cabinet contains azdrum
that bears on the side asilver plate containing
the following inscription : "Presented to
'Major Philo Hoyt, on account of his bravery
and good conduct during the iMexican War,
special act of the General Assembly, A. D."
Philo W. Hoyt, was the father of the present
Major Hoyt. The collection also includes a
number of “Morning Reports” of the com—
mandant at Fort Union, Black Ro'ck Harbor,
in 1815. Fort Union was on or near the
present site of the George Hotel. A copy of
'a journal, the name of which we cannot at
present recall, but,it is now the Bridgeport
’Farmer. It is in mourning: on account of
the death of WaShington, which it publishes.
The cabinet was built by Henry W. Steaens
of Bridgeport, and it is worth going a long
journey to see the articles it contains. As
we said before,it_must be seen to bejapprecia-
ted or understood. A dayls study might be
held upon it, and still there wouldjlbe some
thinggnew. ' W.
