DARIEN.
Mr. John C. Mather has concluded to re—
main in Darien. This is pleasing to all his
many friends. His removal, would have
been a loss not easily repaired. .His family
also would have been greatly missed in the
church and society. May he never have rea-
son to regret'his decision to remain.
R. I. Tollcs, Est}, rumor sci-ya, is soon to
have a lamp on the street in front of his
‘ house. This is public spirit, and will bea
great convenience in dark nightS- May
others follow his example. The expense Will
be small.
We hope the plank walk on Main street,
will soon .be repaired. As at present: it shows
.a. want of public spirit, besides being dan-
gerous.
' The young people of the Congregational
church, are to give a New England Supper
on the 22nd, at the Town Hall. There will
be readings, singing and recitations, and per-
haps a dutch oration. Judging from the
past, the oceasion will be highly enjoyable.
Should the evening of the 22nd be stormy
the supper will come off on the first pleasant
evening following. All those people of Nor-
walk and Stamford, fond of good things are
expected to patronize the young people. ‘
Ralph Burchard was in town‘ovcr Sunday.
All were right glad too see him. He is
greatly missed in Darien, especially on social
occasions. He is a young man of promise
and has a good position at Rye, and is doing
nobly for himself and employer. All wish him
prosperity and success.
Mr. John .Rccd, Esq.,'of Norwalk, and
Mrs. Ann A. Ezequell, of Darien, were unit-

Notwithstanding the unpleasant. roads, a
goodly audience were present at the Congre—
gational church, last Sunday. The subject
was—“The Future J udgmcntfi’ The fact of
the judgment was shown to be biblical and
consonant with the Divine character. The
preacher argued also that a future judgment
is demanded in view of the unequal distri-
bution of the rewards and retributions of
the present life.

CRUELTY To ANIMALS.
Referring to our former article on this
subject in the GAZETTE of Feb. 1. it is due to
the presentowner-of the horse, belonging to
the Waterbury estate to say,that since his
attention was called to ‘the subject the
neighbors report that the. venerable animal
has received the kindliest treatment. The
report that was printed in the Stamford
Advocate of the 4th inst., that, “complaint
was finally made-to Mr. Vincent Colyer, who
has the matter in charge, and I understand
will prosecute the owner," is disclaime‘d by
him. Though urged to do this by some, the
agent for the Connecticut Humane Society
knows too well that these special instances of
cruelty to animals occur oftener from a false
impression, an exaggerated conception of
what animals can endure in exposure to cold
and insufliciency of- food than from unkind— ,
ness of heart, and believing that horses and
cattle in their wild state, are left tO' roam in
summer and winter on theirnative plains,
unprovidcd with artificial shelter or food,
they think it is no special hardship to them
to leave them so hereabouts; forgetting that
our domestic animals are reared and kept
restrained under entirely different conditions
from those on the plains. There. are Old
farmers here in Darlen who leave their
cattle out all winter without shelter and yet
think they are justified. To single out the
present owner of this poor Old horse and
prosecute him would be unfair, unless we are
prepared to prosecute all who violate the
law. Indeed, we regret that mention was
made in our previous article of Feb. lst, of-
thc name of the estate to which it belonged,
as our object was not to point the finger at
any one, but simply to awaken public senti-
ment to the necessity for a reform. To
make a scapegoat of one, where more offend,
was unfair. Here is the law relating to such
cases:
Every person who * * * deprives of
necessary sustenance any animal * * *
or causes it to be done * " * or unnee-
essarily falls to provide it with proper food,
or protection from the‘ weather, or who
cruelly abandons it * * ’-“ shall be fined
not more than two hundred and fifty dollars
or imprisoned not more than one year- or
both—Conn. Rev. Stat. Title 20, chapter 8,
see. 14. ,
The heavy rain of' Saturday caused a rapid
rise in all our streams. The bridge across
Five Mile River, near Col. Raymond’s Jed
mill, was carried away and lodged on top of
the ice in the river about twenty rods down
stream. The bridge connecting Bell’slsland
with the mainland is also reported as gone.
«‘Good wife" streamlet raged like 3 “terms.-
gant shrew” torrent. All the ice that was
thick enough to bear a man last week, be-
tween Smith’s Island, Roton Point and the
Fish Islands, together with a large portion
of that in Scotch Cove, is gone. Where the
writer walked across from Contentment
Island to Strong‘s Island, last week, is now

improbability of his dealings with the sons
of men being less beneficent than the dealings
of an earthly father with his children,

Wednesday evening W. R. Palmer, editor

Mrs. Lees answered the call. He wanted to

became very much excited and finally made
an assault upon him. Mr. Lees defended
himself, when Mr, Palmer’s brother rushed
in. Mr. Lees, supposing the new arrival had
come to help the brother, stood his ground,
until the combatants were separated by the
neighbors. Mr. J. R. Palmer claims to have
followed his brother simply to keep him
from assaulting Mr. Lees, knowing 'under
what excitement he was laboring. Editor

Anthony Comstock.
If there is a here this side of the stars,
Anthony Comstock is one. He has for years
beeu‘devoting his muscular Christianity to
the work of exposing all kinds of frauds
and hidden wickedness by which the young
are depraved and the innocent and ignorant
are deceived. The amount of evil that is
done by means of obscene pictures and lit-
erature is beyond all knowing. Some idea
can be formed from the fact that many tons
of this most damning of all the Devil’s agen-
cies for destroying souls, many tons of this
obscenity have been seized and annihilated
by Mr. Comstock. To do this has' cost him
many a blow, many a wound, much false ac-'
cusation, the fierce hatred of free religion.
ists and even the oppOsition for a time ’of
respectable men who misunderstood him.’
But strong men who knew his unflinching
courage and his purity of spirit, and who
also knew the terrific nature of the evil in:
was contending with. have stood by him.’
The law has been with him. The .conrts
have sustained. Public sentiment is vindi—
. eating, him. In a book published by J.
Howard Brown, New~York, Mr. Comstock
' tells his deeply interesting story. How he
has unearthed villainy, punished so-called
respectable publishers, stopped the mouths
of infidels, brought lottery enterprises and
bogus bankers, jewelry, lightning rod and
sewing machine swindlers to condemnation,
and dried up many a stream of filthy litera—
ture, is here told in utmost plainness and yet
ina way that no impure thought can be
awakened in the mind of any'reader. Per-
haps the most suggestive part of the book is
where the author shows the intimate relations
existing between infidelity and obscenity.
Under the guise of free religion is found free
lust. The hardest fight that Mr. Comstock
has had to wage has been with the Liberal
Leagues. for a long time under the leadership
of Ingersoll. How near home this great
matter comes to us in Vermont may be seen
in the fact that One of the most prolific
sources of .fraud and lieentiousness was
traced to one of the New Hampshire villa—
ges. In 1873 a man was arrested at Hins-
,dale, in that State, and was convicted for
distributing obséene publications. . The
amount of this man's business is found in
the fact that the income of ' the post office in
the town increased from $400 per annum to
about $1,700. This was'when pOstmasters
were paid according to the amount of
stamps sold or canceled at their respective
oflices. .
It is an alarming fact that so much of
this Devil’s work is done itwhat we are apt
to call the centers 'of our purest civilization.
Judging by what Mr. Comstock reveals in
his book, and by what every man sees of the
low literature sold upon the cars and in the
corner stores of humble country, villages, it
is time that fathers and mothers in Vermont
should be aroused on this subject.

_ Arguing for'Reform.
The editor of the Litchfield -Enquirer has
been making Ia study of the recent enumera-
tion of Connecticut’s population and finds in
it fresh evidence of the inequalities of legis-
lative representation in this State. Not-
withstanding the fact that if representation
were to be fairly apportioned Litchfield
county would lose nearly half her present
vote in the legislature, the Enquirer nonc~
the less earnestly urges the necessity of a
radical and'complete reform in the premises,
thereby displaying a 'spirit of unselfishness
deserving of all commendation. In the fol«
lowing table the Enquirer shows what the
present representation in the lower house of '
the legislature by counties is and what it
would be if fairly apportioned in accordance
with the ccnSUs of 1880:

From this table it will be observed that
the northern tier of counties would be the
chief down and the seaboard counties would
be the chief gainers by an apportionment
according to population. 'As new arranged,
the former have a majority of sixteen, while
the latter are entitled by population tq-a
majority of fifty-two. Litchfield andTolland
counties h'ave nearly double their deserved
number of representatives while New Haven
county has but little more. than half. In'
another table the Enquirer gives a list of the
eighteen largest towns of the State which
have an aggregate population of 314,938, or
more than half the population of the entire
State, and which at the last presidential elec-
tion cast 64,655 votes or nearly half thetotal
voté of the‘State. ’ In contrast with this table
it presents another of twenty—three towns
having an aggregate population of only 18,-
096, or.one thirty—fourth'of the entire popu—.
lation of the State. The eighteen towns
mentioned in the first table have thirty-six
representatives in the legislature and the
twenty—three towns of the Second list have
the same number. In other'words, 18,096
people in certain favored localities have a5
many representatives in the legislature as
314,9381'esidents of other towns. Not satis-
, ficd with this demonstration of the gross
injustice of the present System of representa.
tion the Enquirer shows by further compu-
tation that eighty—seven small towns with a
population of 105,786 —but one-Sixth that of
the entire State—elect 124 representatives,

I have just heard of an instance where a
United States senator is supported by terra—
pins. Senator Dennis, of Maryland, as my
information goes, has about twelve acres of
land put down in a pond that is fed by salt
water; This pond makes the lar est terrapin
farm probably in the world, an is a source
of heavy income. In it terrapins are raised
for the market. and it is said that over 12,000
"counts” have been sold from it in one year.
It may be noted, for the benefit Of the un-
initiated, that a “count” is a terrapin ‘over
seven inches in length ; and that “counts” are
sold by number, bringing from $10 to $14 a
dozen, or abgut $1 each. In market they re-
tail for about $20 a dozen; and in fashion—
able restaurants are served at $1.50 a plate,
one terrapin filling about three plates.
Smaller terrapins are sold at lower figures,
but all bring good figures, and are “dia-
mond" backs. in fact as well as in name.
There are several terrapin ponds in Mary—
land, and they grow in importance as “ter-
rapin stew, Maryland style," is becoming
more and more popular among high livers.—

Mrs. Hayes is ndw in New York where
she is giving the final sittings to Mr. Hunt—
ington for the portrait of herself which the
temperance women are going to hang in the
White House. She denies the report that
she and the President intend to take a Euro—
pean tour after Gen. Garfield‘s inauguration,
and says that they will return to their home»
in Ohio and settle 'down to their former quiet
life. She expresses regret at leaving the
White House, which she has found very
homelike and in which she has experienced
much enjoyment.

Miss Ida Lewis, the keeper of the Lime—I
rock light-house in Newport harbor, 'has
‘added another to the number of rescues
from drowning which she has made, which
has now reached nearly a score. Two mem-

crossing on the ice from the city to the fort,
broke through the ice and would certainly
have drowned but for the assistance rendered
them by the heroine of Limerock.

POISONOUS Ponr.Tuv.-—As a late result of
scientific research, the public is informed
that dangerous diseases are formed within the
bodies of dead poultry from which the entrails
have not been removed for some time after
death, and that human beings may. and, as a
matter of fact, have lost their lives in conse-
quence of eating the flesh of fowlsin this‘con‘
dition. Common sense has always taught that
poultry certainly could not be improved by
the presence within it of a mass of putrifying
intestines; and, now that science has given
authorjty to the lesson, let us hope that all
munic1palities will follow the lead of the
few which have prohibited any but cleaned
poultry being offered for sale in their midst.
