‘ Avaluable relic of Revolutionary times
we; unearthed one day last week on the
premises of Mr. S. M. Burnham. known as
“Compo Hill,” by men ploughingi It is a
four pound cannon ball, solid, supposed to
have been discharged from a gun employed
by the British forces under General Tryon
at the battle of Compo Hill, which event
took place April 25, 1777, an was the last
engagement by those forces on Connecticut
soil, after they had caused the burning of the
town of Danbury and Norwalk. The find-
ing is a coincidence also occurring just 104
‘ years after the battle was fought. The ball is
valuableas a curiosity, as well as a relic, and
will undoubtedly be preserved as such by Mr.
Burnham.
The sloop 5. H. Phillips,‘ Captain Sher-
wood, had her bowsprit carried away in New

. Mr. E. W'. Taylor says the suggestion to
paint hisxdwelling in three colors, "red,
white and blue," came from reading the
speeches of Senators 'of the South in Con-
gress, some of whom conveyed the idea that
the old flag was not worth preserving. The
artists Messrs. Kemper and Elwood have
made a fine job of the house which attracts
attention by ,its beauty, and which Mr.
Taylor says, will, so far as colors are con-
cerned, answer as a refutation of the idea,
alluded to, during his life time. .

Alluding to the late great snow storm, and
to what has been said in local papers about
snow storms occurring in April from time to
time during forty years, Mr. Horace Staples
says there is nothing singular in it. He
maintains that the theory of the late Chief
Judge '_Butler, who wrote {and published a
held that weather history repeats itself
every decade. Judge Butler had few com-
peers as a scientist, and his views as express-
ed in_his book are worthy of close attention.
On Monday, April 18, 1881, Mr. John N.

a certificate of deposit in the First National
Bank, Westport, for eighteen dollars—thirty-
two dollars in:all. The letters have not been

tilled of the loss. and promised to do all in
his power to reclaim the same.

The New Cars.
Car No. 11, being the first of the two
excursion cars to be run on the Danbury
and Norwalk railway this summer, is now
receiving the finishing touches from the
hands of'the painters, and will be run out
next week. ' ‘
The new car is forty-six feet in length,
which is somewhat longer than the average
passenger coach, and‘ is nine feet in width .
The exterior is painted a dark wine color
with Ornamental designs in gold, making a
strikingly handsome appearance.
The inside finish is in ash, birch,'cherry
and black walnut. the natural colors being
preserved. The headlining, or ceiling, is of
birch panels, each panel delicately traced in
pretty figures of bright tints, a' design pre-
pared by Mr. George.
The car has a seat running the full length
through the centre is a line of revolving
chairs. The arrangement for seating will
accommodate one hundrcd'persons. The
windows are large, of a single glass, and
screened with curtains of heavy maroon
cloth. ,The ventilation is as perfect as it is
possible to obtain.
The car_throughout was built in'the shops
here, under the supervision of Master Me-
chanic George, and is the first passenger car
made complete by the company. There is
probably no excursion car in New 1ngland
that surpasses it in beauty of finish, a rength

Letters from the People. V
Massrts. Enrrons.—I see it stated in the
newspapers that the Cartridge 00., in Bridgc-
port,are about sueing the two men who were
shooting near their magazine that exploded
the other day, for damages, claiming that
explosion 'was caused by a bullet passing
through a keg of powder, the friction of
which caused the explosion.
Now that might have been so, provided
the bullets were made of iron or steel, but if
their bullets were made of lead, which was
undoubtedly the case, it is extremely doubt-
ful in my mind if it could be done, and if I
was a betting man I would give large odds
against it. It is far more likely that a spark
from the truckman’s pipe caused, the mis-
chief, although it is probable that he never
smoked in his life and did not even know
how.
suppose the company should call out a
company of militia and get up a keg or kegs
of powder, and let them practice on it or
them, and see how many out of a hundred
they could explode with lead bullets, and see
how many times they could hit one before
they could do it.nnd when they have suc-
ceeded in exploding one with a lead bullet,
they will have some chance of shifting their
responsibility upon other shoulders less able
to bear it. Yours truly, J.

‘ ACARD.
At a meeting of the clergy, held in the ves-
try room of St.T|iomas’ church,Bethel,imma-
diately after the funeral obsequics of the late
Rev. EUGENE C. PATTISON, the following
tribute was offered 'by the Rev. William G.
Spencer, D. D., and ordered to be published
by the clergy:-
We, the clerical ‘brethren of the late Rev.
Eugene C. Pattison, rector of St. Thomas’
church, Bethel, gathered at his funeral, wish
to record our sense of bercdvement. both to
ourselves and to the church in Connecticut,
in the death of their beloved clergyman.
In every relation of life Mr. Pattison has.
endeared himself beyond most men. As hus-
band and father we can only speak of him
here with a reserve that befits the tender and
sacred grief .his death has caused. To his
personal friends he has left the fragrant
memory of~a man of love and truth. The
social circle where he moved will bear a will-
ing witness to his presence and influence as
the upright and modest man, the genial and
christian entleman. But to his parishioners
he was al this and much more. By them
his laborsof love-will not be easily forgotten
As a pastor he was faithful through all the
trials and 'claims of his stewardship; as a
teacher he was the thoughtful, impressive
and painstaking instructor of those who lis—
tened at his lips for the word of life. As both
pastor and teacher he loved his work and did
it from day to day in his Master’s unselfish
and loving spirit. Whilst we mourn our
brother, taken in the midst of his usefulness
and in the seeming strength of his years, we
nevertheless thank God for the good example
of His servant as one who held “the mystery
of the faith in a pure conscience.”
Resolved, That a copy of this minute he
sent to the family of the deceased, and pub-~
lished in the Norwalk and Bethel newspa-
pers, and in the Churchman and Guardian.

President Garfield rises at 7 in the morn-
ing—before any one of the family except
his venerable mother, whose hour is 6. He
reads the papers; at 8 he breakfasts; then
he goes to his office and dictates personal
letters to his stcnographer. Then afteria
little chat with his family he is ready to
receive the waiting crowd of callers. At
half-past 2 he lunches, then divers members
of the Cabinet appear, and at 6 he dines,
There are no Sunday-night singing-classes at
the White House now. The Cincinnati
Commercial- says : "The President is a great
lover-.of children. He enjoys their company
and loves to romp with them. His oldest
daughter, Mollie, is of that age when her
lessons and her educational advancement
require much attention. Her father takes a
deep personal interest in her welfare.”

A big price for Maud I.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The famous mare Maud S. was clipped
about a month ago, and she is shorn of so
much of her beauty'that she is “rather a
sorry bit .of horsefissh." Any man ignor.
ant of her record probably would be willing
to pay about sixty dollars for the mare.
The other day the colored boy who exer-
cises Maud S. drove .her into the bridge on
the avenue beyond Chester park and drew
up, as the rain was falling heavily and the
weather very stormy. In the same ’shelter-
were two gypsies who, as usual had a
horse with them. He was a gray
“plug, ”hitched to a L“rattle—trap" of a gig
The colored boy facfliously‘asked the gyp-
sies how they would trade. They scanned
“Maud S." for a while, and one of them
said they would trade the gray for the
“mouse-colored” mare for twenty dollars.
They were asked to come down to fifteen
dollars, but they were firm. When the boy
asked them whether they had ever seen his
mare before. They said no. “Have you
ever heard of Maud 8.?” Yes ther had
heard of Maud S. “Well. this is she,” said
her driver. The gypsies uttered many ex.
clamations of surprise and ;wonder. Finally
one of them blurted out, “Well, I thought I
was a judge of horseflesh.”
