WILTON.
One of the children of Mr. Robert Knapp
was severely scalded on Saturday last.
There is some talk of funding our town
debt. Such acourse would be more business
like and mutually beneficial to the town and
its creditors. We understand that two parties
stand ready to take the whole issue.
RIDGEFIELD. 1
Good sleighingL
Last week was the pleasantcst of the sea-
son; The storm of Friday, left the tress
covered with ice, which remained on for some
days, causing some damage.
The Temperance Society having ceased
the prosecutions of liquor violators, Messrs.
S. O. Seymour and F. L. Smith appeared as
champions of violated law, and complained
against D. Crosby Baxter for .alleged viola—
tion of the l w, last July , and the case came
to trial last hursday before J. F. Gilbert.
R. J. Walsh, Esq, of Greenwich, appeared
as counsel for the defendant. The justice
reserved his decision until the 31st inst;
Last year there were 34 deaths in town,
twelve marriages, and 33 births. '
Rev. D. W. Teller was in town last week.
Rev. George W. Bothwell of the Yale
Theological Seminary; preached in the Con—~
gregational Church last Sunday.
Next Sunday, Rev. H. W. Pope of Black
Rock will preach. '

night. His funeral was attended on Satur-

Ab ut twenty-five members of our Broth-
crs’ Lodge, of Norwalk, visited Pilgrim

much to the enjoyment of the latter. .
BEDDING.
Mr. White has been absent about two
weeks. Rev. B. Mc Micha cl of New York,
_ in his stead Sunday before last at the church
and at Whitehead’s Hall. He also delivered
an able lecture in the ,Methodist church on
the following Monday evening.
Sleighing could not be better. The boys
and girls likewise, are greatly enjoying
coasting. They are, however, exposed to
some danger on the highways. One boy
found to his sorrow that the runner of'a
sleigh was harder than his face, as its bruises
indicate. '
Mr. Frederick Dimon died the'15th inst,
aged 72 years and 7 months. His funeral
was attended the following Tuesday. He,
had been sic k for many months and a great
sufferer.
The attempted correction of a historical
mistake in the last issue was naught. Mrs.
Abby Starr and her husband also, were na‘
tives of Bedding, andrwcre not born in Eas
ton.
WEST STATFORD.
In our account of Major Hoyt’s Cabinet
we made some errors that need correcting.
We neglected to mention the year. in which
the drum was presented to Major Hoyt’s
father, which was in 1849. The cabinet was
built by August Evens instead of Henry W.
Stevens. . -
A gentleman of this place has in his pos—
session a chain that has been in constant use
for over one hundred years.
H. I’. Fowler, who was injured at the
same time that Mr. Moyle was at the explo-
sion of naptha, at Bridgeport, died on Satur-
day last. He leaves a wife and large family
of children. It is avery sad case, and the
bereaved family has the sympathy of the
entire community.
A man (f) applied for the situation left
vacant by Mr. Moyle before the unfortunate
man was carried from the scene of the
accident. It is needless to say the applicant
was unsuccessful. ‘
The History of Fairfield County, is “catch-
ing it” from all directions. No one men—
tions it in terms other than unfavorable.
Some of the pictures of Bridgeport people
would answer very well for Nast’s cartoons
in Harper’s Weekly. To sum up ; it is a
miserable affair.‘

About twenty members of Company E,
4th Regiment, paid a fish; to Company B, of
Bridgeport, on Tuesday evening last. Owing
to an accident the visiting company did not
arrive in Bridgeport tiil nearly 10 p. in. Oh
arriving at Company B’s headquarters, a line
was formed, and the boys marched to
Lieutenant King’s place, on Main street,
where after partaking of a collation, and
spending a short time in social intercourse:
the visiting company departed for home.
A party of five gentlemen from this place,
procured a double ripper a few days ago,
hitched a horse to it, and took up a line of
march _ through this place and Bridgeport.
They were the center of attraction for all
eyes. George Hurd was chief marshall of the
procession. . '
The Wheeler and Wilson company have

According to the Danbury News, West
Stratford wants to be a new town and coun—
ty all in one. Occasionally a Danburyite
strays dewn this way, and after paying his
fine and costs, imagines a great deal.
The man, who early in the season pre—
dicted a mild winter is nowhere to be found.
The notorious “Buck Wells, of Bridge-
port, is home again from Wethcrsfield. He

Itev. E. L. Bray and wife, have each been
presented with a handsome easy chair, by the

The recent thew, followed as it' was by
another cold snap has made pedestrianism a

culty.
We mentioned last week, an old account
book; we 'find several charges as follows:
“1 quart rum”, 1 shilling and Sixpence;

An informal gathering of the old folks
was held-at the hotel Tuesday evening. W110“
some twenty couples indulged in adance on
the floor of the old time ball room in an
upper story of the building. At 8 given
time Doctor and Mrs. Underwood surprised
and made the company happy by inviting
them to their cosy residence opposite the
hotel, Where a sumptuous repast was dis-
cussed. The old folks regular will occur
during the latter part of February.
Since ‘the storm of Friday the horse car
company have been obliged to employ the
great sleigh purchased some time ago of the
Norwalk Horse Railroad. It has been of
good service and patrons willingly pay the
ten cents fare, as it affords a pretty good
sleigh ride for the money.
' So many serious accidents have occurred
on the highways leading to the village since
the snow came, that a local regulation pi‘o-
hibiting coasting within a mile of the center,
has been made and" will be enforced. ,
Messrs. Hubbell &. Wakeman have a great

Mr. Cockcroft has nearly completed one
of the largest, finest, and most expensive
hot houses in the state. The structure stands
north of the dwelling house, and makesa fine
appearance. On the south side is a large
grapery erected by the late Mr. Burritt,
father to Francis Burritt, of South N orwalk.
John Roth, who made an assault on the
writer, as deséribed in last week’s paper, has
not been arrested, but rumor says he has
been in town since the occurrence. The
authorities do not credit the rumor.
' ‘ PAUL.
, BRIDGE-PORT.
The GAZETTE, faithful to the day and hour,
its face ever bright and genial, weekly rc-
bukes our silence. It deserves no such neg-
lect at our hands. If it can forgive the past
we may possibly do better in the future.
Certainly we could do no-worse.
The winter is briskly passing; in fact by
Bridgeport reckoning has more than half
gone already. It isa winter that has fur-
nished abundant exercise to the householder,
especially to every such one as happens to
occupy acorner lot. It is a winter, too, that
has kept sleigh-runners bright, and that has
opened a wide door cf opportunity to the
deadly “double—rippcr.” The victims among
us of this latter device (is it an undertaker’s
invention?) are not few. Of .late, however,
the city authorities have taken it in hand and
its field is restricted. This ofilcial action,
together with the moon’s temporary with:
drawal, will probably discourage it from fur-
- ther ravages.
The children of our city are pursued by
unlimited measles and chicken pox. Fortu-
nately diphtheria has not, this season,marked
them for its own, although rare cases have
occurred; .
On Monday last, Jan. 17, another of those
fatal di‘sastersvthat have so often brought
grief to' Bridgeport, filled the city with
gloom. In a little wooden building just
outside the‘cngine-room at the Wheeler &
Wilson shop, naptha was empioycd to sepa-
rate the oil. from the waste matter of the
-ma'nufactory. In some unknown way this
took fire, causing an explosion. Samuel
Moyle, J r., the engineer, hearing the report,
fight there passed'out into the yard to learn
the cause of the disturbance. As he did so
a second explosion, worse than the first,
occurred, and in a moment he was enveloped
in flames that destroyed his clothing, burned
the hair from his head and face, charred his
skin, and made of him such a wreck that no
one recognized him until he told who he was.
In this condition, more than half dead as he
was, he gave directions for the management
of his engine that no accident might occur.
Then making no complaint, declaring that
if the Lord wanted him he wasready to go,
he was carried to his home and everything
possible was done for his relief. For about
nine hours he lingered, uttering words of
submission, and composure and hope that
amazed those about him. To the physician
who ministered to him physically, he minis—
tered spiritually. He comforted his wife
and little boy, and about eight o’clockin the
evening died triumphant. Mr. Moyle was a
local preacher is the M. E. Church. On
Sunday he' preached in' Milford, taking for
his evening text'the words, “Be ye therefore
alsoready,for in such an hour as ye think not
the son of man cometh.” A striking testimony
this to the reality of a superintending Provi-
dence. His funeral was held at the Washington
Park M. E. church on Wednesday. A vast
throng was present, including many of the
representative people of the city. Rev. J .,
E. Searlcs preached from the words : .“Mark
the perfect inen and behold the upright, for
the end of that man is peace.” Rev. A. C.
Egglestoh, a former pastor, then traces the
progress of the deceased from a condition of
vice and misery, to that of an influential
christian and a moral hero. Deep emotion
was manifested, for Mr. Moylevwas respected
'by all and loved by very many. His death
now that the shopk_ it first occasioned has
passed away, seems very much like a trans-
lation. The chariots and horses of fire swept
him out of our sight, and we want to see
where his mantle shall fall. ’
“The History of Fairfield County” receives
its measure of criticism from the GAZETTE.
Whether all that it deserves .or not. may be a
little uncertain. . It is very fair to look upon
when closed, and even when opened, if one
is fortunate enough to strike theright place.
But some of the pictures are distressing to
their originals," and all who know them.
The contents have evidently been secured,
in many caSes certainly, without proper care.
To mention one instance of many; the ac—
count of Wilton is largely taken, without
ackil‘bwledgement, from Mr. Willard’s His-
torical discourse. In such haste was this
gobbled up, that apparently it was not read
over. In_one place speaking of Deacon W.
Hubbell, it says “Of his character and ‘work
I will speak in another connection.” Un-
fortunately the “other connection” does not
appear as the gobbling process ceased before
it was reached. GAYLORD.
