BEDDING.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Sarah P.
Sanford, whose husband‘, Hawley Sanford,
was a local preacher of the Methodist de—
nomination, and many years ago resided in
this town, was attended last week Saturday
from the Methodist church. The remains
were brought from Brooklyn, N. Y., where
Mrs. S. departed this life on the preceding
Wednesday at the great age of 89 years and
six months, in the assumed hope of a blessed
immortality. The pastor of the church, Mr.
Munson, assisted by Mr; J ennings,conducted
the services. Among the company of mourn-
ing relatives were five preachers of the
Methodist church—one son, two sons—in-law
and two grandsons of the deceased. Another
son, who also is a minister in the same
church, was unable to be present. Mrs. S.
was distinguished for her hearty piety and
her zeal in religion. Her end was very
peaceful. She literally fell asleep. Her re-
mains were interred in the cemetery 9n Bed-
ding Ridge.

The alarming condition of our President
cast a dark cloud—shadow over “The Fourth.”
All hearts were in deep sadness. There was
no public demonstration. There were some
family gatherings. The evening was enliv-

ened by brilliant fireworks in front of the.

store of Mr. F. C. Johnson, and also near the
house of Miss Julia Sanford, on the Ridge.
The ' telegraph company are putting up six
additional wires.
July has not failed to bring the hot and
fair weather needed for the growth of the

short corn, and for the ingathering of the,

grass and grain harvests. The farmers are
very busy with haying. They are having a
good yield. Some of them still find employ-
ment in the cornfield. Some have cradled
their rye, which seems to be well-filled.
The rain of Thursday night and Friday was
an interruption to haying business. There
has been a fine yield of strawberries, but
cherries have been comparatively few.

“City boarders” are making their appear-
ance. ‘ ‘

 

WEST STRATFORD.

There has been some very hot weather
during the past week, Wednesday was the
hottest day of the season thus far.

A large spotted adder was killed in a door
yard on Lake street last Friday. Rather an
unwelcome neipbor.

Hon. P. T. Barnum deserves the thanks
of the entire community for the efforts which

he is making to cleanse the waters of Porn-
broke Lake. It has been a cesspool of late.

Men of all parties in this place are rejoiced
to hear that the chances for the President's
recovery are good.

The entertainment given by the pupils of
the Summerfield School on Thursday even-
ing last, was well attended, and the pro—
gramme finely earried out.

The residents of the lower portion of the
borough are indignant over the proposed
erection of a building in that vicinity, for the
purpose of extracting oil from waste and iron
chips. There is a great deal of danger in the
business. '

Part of the saloon keepers of Bridgeport,
express a willingness to close their places on
Sundays. A fine state of affairs indeed.
Here is a number of people admitting that
they violated the law, and give as their ex-
cuse that others do it. The government of

- Bridgeport is in republican hands, and now
who is responsible for such a state of affairs.
It is a well known- fact that more drunken
people can be seen in Bridgeport on Sunday

than any other day. Next we will hear of'

thcives and murderers arguing to desist from
their nefarious work if 80 rest of their craft
will. W.

The death, Friday, of Mr. Lewis Bradley
in the seventy-first year 'of his age, is an
event of more thanlordinary significance as
pointing the changes from old to new rapidly
taking place in Westport. The fading away
of familiar faces such as his inspires regret,
and conveys to the thoughtful, silent, yet
eloquent reminders. During a brief illness,
life was for days held by a slender thread
broken only at last by the gentle whisper of
the angel of death. ' Throughout a business
career here, for:more than forty years Mr.
Bradley's characteristics were wit, humor,
satire, but these were always supplemented
by conduct and expressions indicative oh
moral, conscientious man, as such he will be
remembered. The funeral took place Sun-
day from Memorial Church, Rev. Mr. Lewis
assisted by Rev. Mr. Williams ofiiciating
and the burial in Evergreen Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lees left Friday, for
a tour of Saratoga Springs, Niagara Falls and
other points of interest. They will return in
two weeks.

'The attempt to kill President Garfield

a man approached close to him and snapped
the cap of a formidable army pistol aimed at
him. The weapon failed to go off, when he
insiantly brought out a second pistol and the
cap of that only exploded. Both weapons
were found to be heavily loaded and the
President’s life seemed to have been almost
miraculously spared. On another occasion,
it is related 'of President Jackson that Editor
Reitchie of the Richmond Wkly, seeing him
step from the Richmond boat, rushed up to
him and twisted his nose. The crowd at
once separated the angry combattants when
old Hickory trying 'to pull away from his
captors shouted : “Release me, release me,

Henry Hill, a colored man, was fatally in-
jured on Saturday afternoon on the Post road
at West Stamford. Hill, with a companion,
left Clark’s Hill with the intention of going
to Greenwich. The accident occurred in the
following manner: The horse having balked
one of the men stepped from the wagon to
see to the animal. The horse suddenly start-
ed, and Hill, who was in the vehicle, was
thrown to the ground with great force, strik-

The factionist who have fought General
Garfield ever sinCe his entrance upon the
Presidency, without ever appearing to recog-
nize the fact that the people were against
them, continue the same stolid exhibition of
themselves even in this time of public sor-
row. Mr. Conkling is of course in the lead,
as of old, in attributing all sorts of monstros-
ities to his opponents. He accuses . the
whole Republican press (for they have all
been against him in the Albany conflict) of
"atrocious and ferocious calumny.” His ex-
ample is.fcllowed, we regret to state. by
General Grant, of whom we will only say
his best friends profoundly regret his incon-
siderate language. They either never read a
Republican paper, or they say what they
know to be untrue, when they accuse the
Republican press of calumniating the Vice
President. In view of General Arthur’s in-
judicious conduct at Albany, the Republican
newspapers have been remarkably lenient
and tender toward him, and since the disas-
ter of last Saturday the respect due to one
who may be our President has been mingled
with the natural desire to be fair andhonest.
After President Garfield’s, his life is the most
precious one now in the land, and his repu-
tationis not less carefully to be guarded and
prized. Even the fury of Mr. Conkling and
his lackeys in the press, who are too few in
number and too insignificant in influence to
regard, will not prevent the Republican
newspapers of the country from treating the
Vice President with courtesy and fairness
during these trying hours, when his situa-
tion compels the sympathy of all patriotic
hearts; nor will it keep them, in the' event
of afatal termination of the President’s in-
juries, from giving to his administration a
firm and friendly support, if, as the country
hopes, he will turn his back upon the past
and rise to the level of his high responsibili.

Mr. EdwinElls, after a painful illness of
nearly two months, died on Sunday morning
last, at his residence. Mr. Ells was one of
the oldest residents of Ansonia and was so
well known by all classes that little can be
said of him that is not familiar. He came
here from Norwalk when Ansonia was but a
hamlet, and has grOwn with it, rejoicing al-
ways in its prosperity and having its best in
terests in view. He assisted in putting the
machinery in the old Battery mill and also
in the first cotton mill. He had charge for a
long time of the machinery in the copper
mill and was the inventor of an improved
machine for drawing brass tubes. He was
the first person initiated in the Naugatuck
Lodge,I. O. 0. F.,in the month of March, ’49,
and has been an earnest member of the order
ever since. During, a residence of nearly
forty years he has always been found on the
side of right, and was a bold advocate in
any cause he espoused—Derby Transcript.

An Unparalleled Record.
_ Boston Herald,

The financial record of the United States,
during the past fifteen years, is without par-
allel in any country, at any time in the
world’s history. During this period, which
ends this month, we have paid off $659,000,-
000 of our public debt, and have made a re-
duction in our annual interest account of
$71,425,000. Or, to state ‘the same thing in
another way, the debt has been reduced by
more than 25 per cent., and the interest is
now nearly 50 per cent. less than it was flf-
teen years ago. This, as we have said, is a

wonderful exhibit.

Dr. Durycn, in a paper recently read be-
fore the Congregational Club, Boston, told a

story of a “good Baptist minister" who was

greatly annoyed one Sunday by the power-
ful :impression which the choir had made
just before his sermon. The singing was so
touching and tender that all resent were
hushed to stillness most profound. The
minister arose, and, addressing the choir,
said he could not go on, and requested them
to sing ‘fPraise God from whom all blessings
flow.” The solemn stillness was painful and
he wanted the congregation to be let down
from the heights to which they had just been
broken.

We need to change our standards. ,Men
must be honored in proportion to their virtue
and considered rich by the measure of integ-
rity. Life is so much wasted that it loses
the divine idea, which is, not the number of

's New York Tribune.

In these days of painful suspense, people
recall With sad interest the career of the loved
and trusted President who lies under the
shadow of death, and trace withfresh admi-
ration the steps by which;he mounted to fame

-and public usefulness. They feel now as

they never felt before how much he merits
their love and confidence. The lesson of his
manly, earnest and fruitful life becomes
doubly impressive. They see that there was
nothing adventitious in his success. No
sudden wind of undeserved popularity waftcd
hlm into high place. He profited by none of
the artful schemes and dubious tricks of
politics. All his promotions, from his first
position of teacher of a country school to the
crowning honor of the Chief Magistracy,
came to him unsought, because he had made
himself worthy of them. He laid the foun-
dationsof success in his youth by the pram
tice of self-denial, by hanging industry, by
hard and welhdirected :study, by the culti-
vation of an honorable ambition, and by
always doing well the duty at hand. Un-
earned bread never tasted sweet to him. He
did not seek to obtain the favors of fortune
by dexterity or cajolery. He valued only
such preferment as he believed the measure
of his own thought, effort, experience and
capacity entitled him to expect and enabled
him to worthily employ.

People remember his heroic strugglcwith
orphanage and poverty, how he paid his way
through the academy and the college with
money earned at the carpenter's bench and
in the country schoolhouse, and how brave
and earnest and hopeful he was during all
his early manhood when he was striving to
gain a foothold in life. They remember how
consistent and straightforward, how devoid
of self-seeking, how devoted to principle and
to a high standard of patriotic duty has been
his later career. They remember, too, his
unfailing fidelity to all personal obligations
-—his tender care for his aged mother, his
devotion to wife and children, his affection
for friends. Here is a man so sound and
true, they say,'that he seemed called by
Providence to guide the destinies of a great
nation. They refuse to think that. the crim-
inal act of an infuriate wretch :can cut short
a noble career now just developed into its
greatest phase of usefulness.

Few men at fifty have ever exercised as
much influence upon their times, or accom-
plished as much for the benefit of their
country, as James A. Garfield. His services

in the army were perhaps no more meritor-.

ions than those of hundreds of other gallant
skillful and faithful commanders, but his
work in Congress, first construetivb and then
defensive, was of the greatest value and
importance to the honor and permanence of
free government on this continent. It was
the work of a powerful, well-balanced and
splendidly trained mind, firmly anchored to
right principles and inspired by genuine
patriotism. No one did more more to mould
and direct the conscience and will of the
Nation during the period of doubt and un-
certainty andficonfiicting opinion which fol-
lowed the war. He was one of the little
group of statesufen who took the lead in
asserting the supremacy of the Nation over
the conquered rebel States, and in demand-
ing suffrage and citizenship for the blacks.
In that group his calm judgment and great
personal influence made him a master-spirit.
His own State, in the early period of tho
agitation about the future position of the
enfranchised blacks, refused to stand by him
and before the question came up for definite
action by Congress she rejected an amend-
ment to her own Constitution, which he had
urged, striking out the word “white." This
made no difference in his ;own course. In-
deed, he never stopped to ask what would be
popular when he had made up his mind what
was right.

His independence of popular errors and pre-
judice was most'fitrikingly shown in his long
struggle against the cheap-money delusion.
Long before this struggle began he foresaw
its coming, and prepared himself for it by
many months of arduousjstudy. He made
himself familiar with all facts and theories
connected with national finance, studied the
experience of all nations and the views of all
great thinkers and practical statesmen.
Thus fortified in his convictions in favor of
a sound currency based upon the precious
metals, and of the redemption of the public
debt in coin, he became a tower of strength
and a fountain ;of information when the
conflict broke out. At one time he stood
almost alone among the Western men in
Congress. His own district threatened to fail
him, but he converted it to right opinions by
going straight to the people and urging with
them face to face in little township meetings.
The contest in Congress lasted many years,
and during the whole of it he was the sturdy
uncompromising leader of the honest-money
forces. If to any one man in the National
Legislature is especially due the praises of
bringing the country safely to specie pay-
ments, that man is General Garfield.

During the last years of his service in Con-
gress, as all Republicans now remember with
pride :and gratitude, he was. the wise and
resolute leader of the Republican minority
in its sturdy and successful defence of the
great work it had incorporated into law and
Constitution to secure the unity and su-
premacy of the Nation, the maintenance of
its credit and honor, the purity of the ballot
and the equal rights of all citizens. Before
he was the patient, prudent and clear-sighted
builder; now he became the courageous and
watchful defender. His statesmanship shone
no less conspicuously in one field of action
than in the other. His fame grew from year
to year, and when by an unexpected turn of
affairs in the Chicago Convention he was
nominated for the Presidency, there was a
universal sentiment that the great honor had
fallen upon one who had fairly earned it by
patient, sagacious, patriotic work and long
experience in the highest fields of statesman-
ship.

The country cannot contemplate the pos-
sibility that it may be robbed of the services
of its brave, high-minded and tender-hearted
President. It has never for a moment aban-
doned hope. With reverent trust in the
eternal righteousness of things, it has confi-
dence that he will be victorious in his strug-
gle with death, and will live to bear the bur-
dens the people havc placed upon him and to
administer the Government to the end of his
term with the firmness and justice he has
thus far displayed.

Hard Work.

This is what some persons have to say
upon hard work :

“What is your secret of success ?” asked a
lady of Turner, the distinguished painter,
He replied, “I have no secret madam, but
hard work." . .

Said Dr. Arnold : “The difference between
one boy and another is not so much in talent
as in energy.” . .

“Nothing,” said Reynolds, “is denied well-
directcd labor, and nothing is to be attained
without it.” ,

“Excellence in any department,” said
Johnson, “can be attained only in the labor
of a life-time; and it is .not to be purchased.
at a lesser price."

“There is but one method,” said Sidney
Smith, “and that. is hard labor; and a man
that will not pay that price for distinction
had better at once devote himself to the pur-
suit of the fox.” . ‘ ~_

“Step bystep,” reads the French proverb,
“one goes very far.” ' ' .'

“Nothing,” said Mirabeau, “is impossible
to the man who can Will. Is that ne‘cessary.

success.”

"Have you ever entered a cottage, ever
traveled in a coach, ever talked with ;a peas-
ant in the field, or loitcred with the mechanic
at the loom ,?" asked Sir Edward Bulwer
Lytton, “and not found that each of those
men had a talent that you had not? The
most useless creature that ever yawned at a
club, or counted the vermin on rags, under
the sun of Calabria, has no excuse for want
of intellect. What men want is not talent,
it is purpose; in other words, not the power
to achieve but will to labor, I believe that
labor, judiciously and continuously applied,
becomes genius.”

The Rev. Dr. Bushnell himself related it:
“As we were coming out of church one
Sunday,” he said, “my wife remarked, ‘You
had better burn that sermon; it isn't worth
repeating anywhere."l shall do no such thing,’
I answered, a little vexed; ‘the sermon is up
to my average.’ She persisted, and I said
little more. But, a year or two afterwards
on a bright, cheery Sunday in May—one of
those days that make a discourse go of itself
~I took that sermon again, And ' as we
came down the aisle after service, she whis-
pered (without the slightest notion that she
had heard it before), ‘I would mark that to
preach on exchanges. It is better than com-
mon l" .

The Children’s World.

The adaptation of the teacher'to the schol-
ar’s world is a requisite in successful Sunday
school instruction. Acquaintancc with that
world is another primary necessity. The hour
of instruction in Sunday school is only one
out of the 168_hours of the week of a child’s
life; and even for this brief hour the child
is not his true self,for company manners and
the conventional religious stiffening of Sun-
day prevail. Does the teacher know the
scholar’s world, or the surroundings from
which he comes to the school, and to which
he returns as to his native customary soil?
What are the parents “of the child ? What
are the influences‘of‘his home life; who are
the child’s associates ? Who are his play-
mates? How are these children taught to look
upon life? What business principles do they
learn at home 2‘ What books and newspapers
come to the house? I remember a mother
telling me, when I went to see the home of
one of my scholars, that she was glad to see
me, for she wanted to know which of two
low actresses I thought was the handsomest I
From that day .on I knew what sort of a
home my dear little boy had—Res. W. W.

An Investment Security in Gold
Production.

The Union Investment and
Promoting 00.,

155 and 157 BROADWAY,NEW YORK.
FFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock
ofthc Gold Gravel Hydraulic.Uo., or Plumas

and Sierra Counties, California. This property
which has been a largely paying one for the last
eleven years, is a co nsolidntion of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—andwhich are extensivé and rich
enough to produce one hundred miflions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least $300,000,which production it is proposed
to largely increase by the construction of new
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
for extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself ownsthc
Common stock of the Gold Gravel Company,
which is not for sale, guarantees that the pre-
ferred stock which it offers to the public at par,
shall receive l2 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock—at the
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on ,thc total capital stock of one million,
should not be less than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting 00., is 3. Com
necticut Corporation with its chief office in New
York City. Its President is A. F. Wilmarth, the
Vice President of the Home Insurance Company;
and among its Director are J. S. Stout, of Stout
& Co. , Bankers, New York, Henry E, Russell. of
the Russel and Erwin Mfg. Co., New York, Geo.
P. Bissell,of Hartford, and J anics Boltcr, Presi.
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the
highest repute and financial standing. .

It is admitted by all who have any acquaint ’
ance with the subject that the placer gold gravel
beds of California, afl‘ord an entirely sale and con-
servative field for investment if sufficient water
l‘orhydraulic operations is available i’rof. Wm.
P. B akc, of New Haven and other experts ofthc
highest character have reported most, favorably
upon this property.. In answer to the question
likely to be first asked by the cautious New Eng-
land investor: “Why, if this is. so good a thing
does this wealthy company Wish to sell any of
the stock”—-it may be said that through the. com-
panies’ agents and experts in California, it has
opportunities to use capital in similar invest-
ments which Will pay the company fifty per cent.
which is an;ordinary rate of miners interest. It
proposes to continue so lung as possible this
profitable use of mono while giving the public
the advantage of pure asing a twenty-five per
cent. dividend paying stock at par.
