Died, Saturday July 23rd, Suddenly, at the
residence of S. R Saxton, Saugatuck, Capt.
Frederick Sherwoodfin the 7151; vearof his
age. Deceased wasonc of three brothers,
triplets, who celebrated the anniversary of
their birth last autumn, an account of which
appeared at thetime in these columns. He
was a native of this tOWn. Early in life he
took to the sea, and sailed all over the world
a number of his later voyages being from
New York to San Francisco via Cape Horn.
Though in his element when on the water, he
found it to his taste to leave it finally and re-
turn to Westport where the days remaining
aftcr‘an active life were quietly spent.’ The
funeral took place Tuesday from Mr. Saxton’s
house. Rev’s Mr. Hart and Davenport ofii—
ciating, and the burial in the cemetery near
the church at Green’s Farms.
The ladies .of Christ Church propose to
offer their rector, Rev. Jno. R. Williams, a
vacation, and, as an inducement for him to
accept, they are canvassing the parish, with
first rate success thus far, for the wherewithal
to send him pleasantly on his way. August
’ is about the best month of the year torecu-
perate' in, especially when one can feel that
all is right at-home.
Lawyer E. M. Lees is at Saratoga taking
iu’sufilcient Congress Spring'water to last till
his next annual vacation.
Wm. R. McCready, Esq., has been repaint-
ing his capacious barns and out-buildings.
S. M. Burnham, Esq., has completed one
of the finest barns in the State with stable
conveniences for his choice and beautiful J cr-
sey herds. Mr. B. has the most sightly and
charming outlook from his residence, to be
seen at any point on the shore of Long Island
scund.
Early Wednesday morning Mr. Rufus
Couch found a man at the foot of a ledge of
rocks opposite, his residence lying in an un-
conscious condition made so either by a fall
or by an attack of enemies. ~ .He did not
know the man. Mr. Couch summoned assist-
ance but none of those who came could iden-
tify the sufferer. Mr. William Wells who
knows nearly every body in town and hap—
pened that way was called on to' give his
opinion but was unable to recognize either
by form or feature. Finally an inspection of
papers in the man’s pockets, disclosed the
fact that he was none other than Mr. James
Smibert,but how he got into the condition in
which he was fqund, it being over three
mains so yet. Investigation showed a had
cut over the left eye, the right eye closed
and bruises all over the face, the left arm
broken at the wrist and bruises on the lower
part of the body and legs. The rocks, which
are close by the street, are eighteen or twenty
feet high. Two theories as to the cause of
the mishap are given. One that he had been
to call on a lady friend residing at the house
of Capt. Charles Allen on or near whose
property the ledge is situated, and that while
returning by way of a foot path close by the
precipice he missed his way in the darkness
and tumbled over the summit ; another that
he was attacked by personal enemies who,
after maltreating their victim, hurled him
down the rocks. Up to this writing Mr.
Smibert has been only partially‘ conscious
since he was hurt, and could not as a conse-
quence given true version of the affair. There
cause can throw but little light on what ap-
pears to be a dark subject. The patient is
[well cared for at his home, and hope is in-
dulged that he willrwholly recover.

How a Man goes to Bed.
Speaking of how a man goes to bed, an
exchange says:
“There’s where a man has the advantage.
He can undress in a cold room and have his
bed warm before a woman has got her hair-
pins out and her shoes untied.”
That’s how it looks in print, and this is
how it is in reality: “I am going to bed, my
dear. It’s half-past ten.” No reply. “Now,
John, you know you’re always late in the
morning. Do get to bed 1” “Yes, in a min-
ute," he replies, as he turns the paper wrong
side out and begins a lengthy article headed
"The Louisiana Muddlc.” Fifteen minutes
later she calls from the bedroom: “John,
come to bed, and not keep the gas burning
here all night,” and murmuring something
about “the bill being large enough now,” she
creeps between the cold sheets, while John
reads placidly on, his feet on the piano sfool
and a cigar in his mouth. By—and-by he
rises, yawns, stretchés himself, throws the
paper on the floor, and seizing the shaker
proceeds to that vigorous exercise, shaking
the coal stove. 'Just at this stage a not al—
together pleasant voice inquires: “For pity’s
sake! ain’t you ready for bed yet?” “Yes,
yes, I’m coming 1 Why don’t you go to
sleep and let a fellow alone ‘2”
Then he discovers that there’s coal needed.
When that is supplied and rattled into the
stove he sits down to warm his feet. Next
he slowly begins to undress, and as he stands
scratching himself and abscntly gazing _on
the last garment, dangling over the back of
the chair, he remembers that the clock is
not wound yet. When that is attended to he
wants a drink of water, and away he prom—
enadcs to the kitchen. Of course, when he
returns his skin resembles that of a picked
chicken, and once more he seats himself be-
fore the fire for a last “warm- up.” As the
clock strikes twelve he turns out the gas,and
with a flop of the bed clothes anda few spas-
modic shivers he subsides—no not yet; he
forgot to see if the front door was locked,
and another flop of the bed clothes brings
forth the remark: “Good gracious ! if that
man ain’t enough to try the patience of J obl”
Setting her teeth hard she awaits the final
flop, with the accompanying blast of cold air,
and then quietly inquires “if he is settled for
the night,” to which he replies by muttering;
“If you ain’t the provokingest woman 1”

A Boy. 3 Wo'mén, and a Cow.
It is now over one hundred years since an
American philosopher propounded the query:
“Why is'a woman afraid of a‘ cow '1’” and yet
no. one has ever succeeded in-giving a satis-
factory answer. There is once in a while a
woman who doesn’t seem to have the slightest
fear, even when passing a cow with one horn
all twisted out of shape : but follow that
woman home and you will find that she kicks
the dog', cuffs the children, jaws her husband
and knows how to sharpen a butcher-knife
and use an ax. The real woman has a mortal
terror of cdtvs, and the real cow seems to have
an antipathy. . -
Friday forenoon a lady was walking down
Cass avenue when she suddenly came upon a
cow. The animal was feeding on the other
side of the street and the boy sent out to
watch her sat under a shade tree and played
: on a mouth organ.
The lady halted.
The cow looked up. .
"Lost anything, ma’am i” asked the boy as
he removed the music from his mouth.
“I—I’m afraid of that cowl” she replied.
“What fur? Cows don’t bite nor kick,
same as a horse. All they kin do is to run
their horns through you and pin.you to the
ground.” _
“Oh! my—shc’s coming 1”
“N 0, she hain’t. She’s just makingbclievo
that she wants to git at ye and hook ye over
the fence.” . ' ‘
“Oh! but I dare not pass.
‘ “Yes, you dare. Cows know when a wo—
mah is afraid just as quick as anybody. The
minit you give cows to understand that you
are able to catch ’em by the heels and mop
éthe ground with them they go hunting fur
clover.” 1' . -
“Dear me, but I guess I’ll go back 1’
“I wouldn’t. If ye’ll only spit on yer hands
'and shake yer fist at her she’ll wilt right
'down. Cows know who’s who just as wall as
men do! Now then, I’ll hold your parasol
while you spit on your hands.”
“Oh I I can’t—I’m going now 1”
“Well, my little brother he swears at ’cm
instead of spitting on his hands. See if you
can do that.”
“N o—no—nol I’m going now 1”
“If I was a woman and I couldn’t swear
or spit on my hands, 1 should carry a sword-
canc to stab cow's with,” observed the boy as
he looked across the way.
“My soul ! but there’s another cow up
there i” exclaimed the lady as she looked up
the street. '
“Yes, lots of cows around these days, but
I never heard of two cows attacking a wo—
man at once. I guess one generally hooks
’em all to pieces first, and then the other comes
up and paws the mangled remains. If you
1’
The lady uttered a first class scream and
made a jump for the nearest gate. It opened
hard, and after one pull she went over the
fence and up the frontsteps of astrange house
there to remain until her husband could be
summoned by telephone to come and act as a
body-guard. .
{ “I’d just like to be a woman,” mused the
boy as he sat down to punish his mouth-organ
some more. ‘I’d carry a bowie knife down
the back of my neck‘, and the first cow that'
tried to hook me would feel that ere knife
playing mumblety peg around her vicious
heart-strings.

The Farmer’s Seventy Years.
Ah, there he is, lad, at the plough;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoe’er the task might be,
None ever saw him shirk.
And he can laugh, too, till his eyes
Run o’er with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an old -timc song
In spite of seventy years.
“Good morning, friend! ’tis twelve o’clock ;
Time for a half-hour’s rest.” .
And Farmer John took out his lunch
And ate it with a zest.
“A harder task it is,” he said,
“Than following up these steers
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my, seventy years.
“You ask me why I feel so young;
I’m sure, friends, I can’t tell,
But think it is my good wife's fault
Who’s kept me up so well ;‘
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears;
She’s given me love and hope and strength
For more than forty years.
“And then, my boys have all done well,
As far as they have gone,
And that thing warms an old man‘s blood,“
And helps him up and on.
My girls have never caused a pang,
.Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that I feel young
And hale at seventy years.
“Why don’t my good boys do my work
And let me sit and rest?
Ah! friends, that'wouldn’t do for mc;
_ I like my own way best. .
They'have their duty; I have mine ;
And till the end appears,
I mean to smell the soil, my friends,"
Said the man of seventy years.

Br KATHARINE LEE Barns.
I have closed my books and hidden my slate.
And thrown my satchel across the gate,
My school is out for a season of rest,
And now for the schoolroom I love the best!
My school-room lies on the meadows wide,
Where under the clover the srrnbcams hide ;
Where the long vines cling to the mossy bars,
And daisies twinkle like fallen stars; I
Where clusters of buttcrcups gild the scene.
Liko showers of gold-dust thrown over the
green,
And the wind’s flying footsteps are traced, as
they pass,
By the dance of the sorrel and (lip of the
grass. '
My lessons are written in clouds and trees,
And no one whispers, except the breeze,
Who sometimes blows from a secret place,
A stray, sweet blossom against my face.
My school-bell rings in the rippling stream
Which hid‘cs itself, like a school-boy’s dream,
Under the shadow and out of sight,
But laughing still for its own delight. - l .
My school-mates there are the birds and bees
And the saucy squirrel, less wise than these,
For he only learns, in all the weeks,
How many chestnuts will fill his cheeks.
My teacher is patient, and never yet
A lesson of hcr’s did I once. forget,
For Wonderful love'do her lips impart,
And all her lessons are learned by heart.
Oh, come l oh, come! or we shall be late,
And Autumn will fasten the golden gate.
Of all the school-rooms, in cast or west,
The school of nature I love best.

Newport Amusements.
Susan Coolidge describes as follows in the
Midsummer Scribner, some of the amuse-
ments of Newport:
“The amusements of Newport, in the sea-
son, are many and various. First and forc-
most should be named the Casino, 9. new
feature, but already a most important one.
This charming place, which is both like and
unlike the conversation halls which, in
Europe, bear the same name, is built on the
Avenue not far from the Ocean House. Its
aspect from the street is that of a low, pic:-
turesquc facade, two stories in height, in the
old English at le, of brick and olive-painted
wood, quaint y shingled and oddly carved.
with wide casement windows, and here and
there a touch of gliding. A single year has
toned its color down to a delightful oldness,
which would do no discredit to a street in
Chester or Coventry. A broad entrimce-hall
in the middle of the building leads to an
inner quadrangle, turfed and set with flower-
bcds, in the midst of which rises a splashing
fountain. Above andrbelow, on the street
side of this quadrangle, are club rooms and
offices, broken by a picturesque clock-tower.
To the right and left are more club rooms, a
restaurant, reading, dining and smoking
.rooms; dressing rooms for ladies. and gen-
tlemen; smaller saloons, where entertain-
ments may be given; and kitchens, wisely
ordered 0n the second floors, where their
noises and smells can annoy no one. The
fourth side of the quadrangle is filled with a
double curve of roofed galleries, two stories
in height, where lades sit the morning long,
work in hand, chatting with their friends,
enjoying the smell of the spray-freshcned
flowers, and listening to the music of the
band. Beyond this first quadrangle lies an—
other and wider one, edged‘ with trees and
shrubbcries, past which winds the carriage
drive from an entrance at the back. This
lawn is devoted to open-air tennis. At its
far end is another long building, in which
are racket courts, bowling alleys, and a beau-
tiful ball room, fitted up with a stage and
all the appurtenances for private. theatricals.
It will will be seen how many and how
various tastes may be served by a building of
this sort. ‘
“Polo play, and sitting by to see polo’
played,are among the other favorite Newport
amusements. Still another is to ride or
drive to the meets of the Queen’s County
Hunt, which, in the latter part of the sea-
son, has arun about twice a week. Foxes
are none too plentiful in the island, and there
are days when the bounds are forced—facts
do “mime—to follow a trail of anise—seed, in-
stead of their more legitimate scent. But
the pace, the jumping, and the chance of
broken bones are equally good; and as
Reynard does not complain, and no baby, in
act of being soothed of its infantailmcnt by
the mild infusion which docsflduty as scent,
has as yet fallen a prey to the mistaken
ferocity of the pack, there seems no reason
to cavil. Ladies often join in the sport.
“The Fort music is another bi—weekly
pleasurc,involving as it does the pretty drive
round the southernmost curve of the bay,
with the villa-crowned slopes of Halidon
Hill on one hand, and on the othci- the wide
out-look of blue water, broken by many
islands. Close by is the tiny rock with its
time-washed light-house,wherc dwells the
brave Ida Lewis, heroine of so much daring
adventure, and beyond stretches the long
point of Brenton’s Reef, surmounted by the
cascmatcs and smooth glacis of Fort Adams.
In the deep point of the inner cove lie the
wrecks of two ships, one of them ‘an aban-
doned slaver, drifted many years since into
this quiet harbor, and gradually breaking to
pieces under the slow, untiring touches of
wind and tide. Only the ribs now remain;
they lie, black, skeletonv-like shapes, reflected
in the tranquil waters of the cove—a perpet-
ual pleasure to such artist eyes as take pleas-
ure in contrast and happy accidents.
“Besides the fashionable Bellevue Avenue,
and the celebrated ocean drive, which for
nine miles follows the sinuosities of the_shorc
from Bailey's Beach to Brentou’s Cove.
there are others less famous, but no less
enjoyable; the drive over the two beaches,
for example and out to the long end of Sach-
usct Point, through gaps in stone walls and
across fields of grain, by overgrown tracks,
where wild flowers and tall, nodding grass
half bury the wheels; or the drives to Cod-
dington’s Cove, to the Glen, to "Lawton’s
Valley, or along the shore of the eastern pas-
sage. These inland drives afiord constant
characteristic glimpses.” ' ‘

The Great “'llcat Fields.
I People traveling to the North-West, will
be gratified at learning that the "Guitar
R001: ISLAND Room” opens a new line from
Chicago to Minneapolis and St. Paul, July
17th, running Ewe through daily trains,leav-
ing Chicago at 12.05 and9.30 p. m. This new.
line is to be known as the “ALBERT .Lsa
Rourn,”.and passes through the very best
sections of the States of Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota, affording travelers a View of the
great harvest fields of our country, and a sec-
tion peopled by the most progressive and
prosperous of oursNorthwcstcrn' inhabitants.
We understand that round trip excursion
tickets to points on the great wheat region of
the Red River of the North, and Missouri
River valleys, will be immediately put on
sale, good for 40- days from date of issue.
This will enable Eastern farmers to visit the
greatest wheat country on the globe, and sec
harvesting done on the most gigantic scale.
Surely no one that really desires to see
the West, will forcgo this opportunity to do
so, by ticketing over any other than the “Al-
bert Lea Route,” oz‘a West Liberty. The
Great Rock Island Depot is the most central
of any in Chicago, being in the very heart of,
the city, close to the great hotels, post~officc,
and leading mercantile houses.
A safe and sure means of restoring the
youthful color of the hair is furnished by Par-
ker’s Hair Balsam, which is deservedly 20p»
lular from its superior cleanliness.

An Investment Security in Gold
Production.
The Union Investment and
Promoting 00., '
155 and 157 BROADWAY. New Yomr.
OFFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock
ofthc Gold Gravel Hydraulrc.Uo., of Plumes
and Sierra Counties, California. This property
which has been a largely paying one for the last
eleven years, is a co nsolidation of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich
enough to produce one hundred millions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least $300,000,whichproduction it 15 proposed
to largely increase by the construction ofncw
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
for extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
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 12 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 the total capital stock of one million,
should not be less than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting 00., is a Com
nccticut Corporation with its chief office in N cw
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 Mtg. 00., New York, Geo.
P.Bissell, of Hartford, and J amcs Boltcr, Presi-
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the
highest rcpntc and financial standing.
It is admitted by all who have any acquaint -
ance with the subject that the placer gold gravel
beds of California, afford an entirely sale and con-
servative field for investment if sufiicicnt water
forh draull‘c operations is available Prof. Wm.
P. Blake, of New Haven and other experts of'thc
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,lf this is_ so good a. thing
does this wealthy company wrsh to sell any of
the stock"-—it may be said that through _thc_ com-
panics’ agents and experts in Calliornla, it has
opportunities to use capital in similar invest-
ments which will pay the company fifty per cent.
\vhichis anfiordinary rate of miners interest. It
proposes to continue so long as possible this
profitable use of mono while giving the public
the advantage of pure lasing :1. twenty-five per .
cent. dividend paying stock at par.
