CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
The festivities of the fall and winter sea-
son were successfully commenced on Satur-
day evening at the house of Edgar Smith,
Esq., the occasion being Mr. and Mrs.
Smith’s Silver Wedding. At an early hour
the guests commenced to assemble and by 9
p. m. the rooms were well filled by the elite
of this and other towns, who came to do
honor to the bride and groom. Many pres-
ents comprising wood, silver and bronze were
received. After a bounteous repast, music
and dancing were in order until the clock
struck 12 when all disappeared, having en-
joyed the festivie occasion greatly.
Mr. Frank Bates has the addition to his
mill enclosed and when it is completed will
be enabled to furnish store room for his heavy
piles of lumber, and sash and blinds.
Since the exodus of summer boarders from
this city, it is noticeable that the receipts at
our Post Office have diminished. It is sur—
mised that many, for what they think good
and sufficient reasons, mail many of their
epistles at other offices}; as letters only count
which are mailed here, and not those receiv-
ed, the income is so much reduced.
Rev. Mr. Selleck’s assistant occupied the
pulpit in Union C hapcl on Sunday p. m. and
preached an excellent sermon to a good an-
dicncc.
As the town election has passed and the
result is known the number who went to the
polls and did not vote, on account of the
“mixture” of tickets, and those who voted
asthey chose, are happy, but declare they
will not vote at all another time. This dis-
satisfaction is becoming general in all the
districts outside the city and borough.
Water, water, water. is the cry by our mill
owners. and cider. makers,——and the farmers
might join in the chorus.

BEDDING.
Lapt week on the afternoons and evenings
of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day a series of meetings was held in the Me-
thodist Church. The pastors of the Method-
ist Churches in Easton, Georgetown, Step-
ncy and Bethel, preached on the succesliive
evenings.
WESTON. .
The ladies' sociable, of the Congregational
Church, met on Wednesday afternoon, at the
house of Mrs. Ebenezer Fitch. On account
of the rain but few were present. The offi-
cers are Mrs. E. D. Bentley, president; Mrs.
Ephraim Fitch, vice; Miss Emma Walton-
secretary ; and Miss Sarah Bradley, treasurer.
The Congregational Society has received
over $5,000 from the legacy of the late Mary
Perry of Fairfield, after all expenses of ad-
mistration and probate have been paid.
At the late town meeting, a tax of 9 mills
was laid, and an appropriation of $200 made
to each school district. The democratic
ticket was elected by about 13 majority.
Within the memory of some not very old
men, the same majority has reached over 100.
The town debt of $7,000 on which 5 per
cent. has been paid is to be refunded at 4-

WILTON.
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Merwin returned Sat-
urday, from a visit with Dr. A. E. Emory, at
his home in New Hampshire.
B. G. Northrop, Esq, Secretary of the
State Board of Education, will lecture on the
9th of November, on “Village Improvement.”
We trust. that Mr. Northrop will have a full
house and that our citizens will adopt and
put in execution any suggestions he may
make. There is still room in Wilton for im-
provement and if we wish our town to appear
attractive and inviting we must make it look
so. ,
The principal excitement of last week was
the presence of a party of engineers who
are surveying a_ route for anew railroad from
New York to Hartford. The route as far as
surveyed on Saturday evening ran from
Smith’s Ridge, in New Canaan, to Richard
Dunning’s then to LeGrand Olmstead’s, pass-
ing between his house and burn. The
line will probably cross the D. &N. R. R.
somewhere near the Zion’s Hill M. E. Church.
Whether this route will be adopted is of
course doubtful. It is claimed however that
Vanderbilt is interested in this scheme, and
as the survey started at Mount Vernon, on
the Harlem Road the claim has the color of
probability about it. _ .
We understand that William D. Gregory,
Esq , is confined to his house by a serious
illness.
Any one who may be eligible to citizenship

WEST STRATFORD.
Quite a number of new voters are to be

The nomination of Hon. Tallmadge Baker
for Senator, gives universal satisfaction in
this town. Stratford will give him a rousing
majority; let Norwalk do as Well.

Scarlet fever is very prevalent among the

There is something very suggestive in the

The Rogers do Brittin Company have added

The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Bridgeport Horse Railroad Company was
held Saturday. The old board of ofiicers and
directors were re-elected. .
Temperance organizations are good things,
but when they become the tools of designing
politicians it destroys their usefulness. The
Norwalk organizations seem to have been
the cat’s paw to pull the chestnuts from the
fire for the ally of the rum power. Can any
one tell us why it is that the Democratic
party always looks with favor (sarcasm if
you please‘with the word favor) on “Temper-
ance” tickets. ‘

WESTPORT.
An old' conundrum reads something as
follows: “If all the women should go to
China, what would the men do? Go to Pckin,
of course.” Applied, this describes the kind
of thoughts in the minds of Westport people
last Wednesday, when delegates representing
the Ladies’ Missionary Society of Fairfield
County met in semi-annual convention at the
Congregational church. The movements of
these ladies, about eighty in number, was an
enigma to the Opposite sex, for not a man
was allowed to approach the church, much
' less enter its portals while the business of the
convention was in progress. This, while ;it
might not have been intended as uncompli-
mentary, seemed so, for when men hold a
convention they invariably invite the ladies.
Curiosity was all day on the tip toe to learn
what was going on, but not a syllable could
be caught—not even a first class suspi-
cion. On their way to the church the ladies
were very happy, and the words they let fail,
although nothing definite could be put to-
gether, indicated the importance of the work
about to be done. All was clothed in mystery,
and it was with difficulty that outsiders, of
whom the writer is one, could guess what
the convention did. Since adjournment,
however, in a round-about-way, the follow-
ing facts, which if perverted or in any way
misstated the convention must be held re-
sponsible, have been obtained. The morning
session was opened with prayer by a West-
port lady (Mrs. Hull), followed by music, a
lady organist, (Mrs. C. H. Taylor) leading.
After reports of committees and a statement
of finances, Mrs. Harding gave a pleasing
account of the labors of herself and co-
workers among the hcathcn of India, from
which it appeared. that, during the twelve
years of her mission, many of the unbeliev-
ing had been converted to Christianity, and
while much of the field remained yet unex-
plored, there was cause to feel that, at no
distant day the light of the gospel would
shine gloriously upon every benighted soul
in that vast country. She had a love of mis-
sionary work from a sort of inheritance, her
father before her having given the labor of a
long life in that field to the cause. She had
come to her native land for a brief visit and
would presently return to India. The re-
sults of the mission, as she pictured them,
were gratifying to Fairfield county ladies,
who will continue their splendid support.
At the afternoon session notes were :com‘par-
ed, plans for future operations laid, and Mrs.
Harding made another address. Taken all in
all the gathering was an event reflecting
honor upon the ladies composing it.
W. T. Snelling killed eleven plover at one
shot, and deserves to meet the man who can
beat it.
New Haven has everything desirable ex-
cept good fishing places. Impressed with
this fact, W. W. Converse, of the Winches-
ter Arms M’f’g. Co.,came down here last
week, and at an inshore rock caught three
black fish which aggregated over nine pounds
weight.
The Democrats have nominated one of
their best men, John W. Hurlbutt, Esq. , for
representative, and unless we head him off
will be sure of an election. Republicans,
your course of action is plain.
Mr. J. Chapman Taylor has patented a

Westport is represented at the Yorktown
centennial in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. D.

It is said the Cornwall and Patterson
Manufacturing Company have leased for two
years the brick factory now being erected
by the Westport Improvement Company.
The concern has at present four shops—two
in New Jersey, one in Bridgeport, and one
in Saugatuck, and they are anxious to bring
the four together. With this end in view,
they will, it is, said, agree to .locatc in
Westport provided they can have at,their
disposal on January 1st, 1882, a building
400 feet long by 50 wide, two stories high,
and baSement. The importance of securing
these people is patent to the Building com-
pany, who will extert their best endeavors
to bring it about. The illness of Messrs. A.
S. Hurlbutt and A. C. Nash,—two of the
heaviest subscribers-to the stock of the Im-
provement Company makes it difilcult for
the other members to act with that decisive.
ness which the matter calls for. Contractor
Turney of Bridgepoft, who has been con-
sulted in the matter of construction says he
can complete the building within the pre-
scribed time if work begins in it today,
Monday. Itis hoped the report that sever-
al of our leading capitalists will put up this
building on behalf 'of the Improvement
Company and turn it over to them when
done, is true, for a company like the C. &. P.
amploying.as;it does over.:300 hands is a
prize for any turn which hopes, like West-
port, to expand. The manufactures of
which the C_ & P. make specalities .are piano
and organ furniture, such as pipes, etc.,
silk and many other articles. The site pro-
posed for the new building is on the J esup
lot, depot road, owned by Mr. H. Staples.
It looked like old times Saturday to see'
the immense cargo of farmers’ produce which

BRIDGEPORT.
Thomas Ryan, a Danbury iron moulder,
was run over at the depot about six o'clock
Tuesday evening by the regular westernbound
freight train. The wheels of four cars on
the rear of the train went over Ryan’s right
leg crushing it below the knee in a fearful
manner. It was necessary to amputate the
leg, just below the knee. He is about fifty
years of age was a soldier in the late war.
Two weeks ago he was discharged from the
hospital where he had been under treatment
for lung complaint. Hejwas apparently sober
last evening, although at eleven o’clock the
previous evening he was in the depot under
the influence of liquor. Ryan said he had
been up town all day, and went down to the
depot in the evening hoping to steal a ride to
Not-walk in the darkness, but slipping off, he
fell under the train.

Obituary.
Death of Colonel Rodman.
Colonel Daniel C. Rodman, formerly of
the Seventh Connecticut regiment, died at
Groton, Sunday, of consumption. Colonel
Rodman led the assault on Fort Wagner and
was severely wounded in his leg and in his
side and lungs; his death was caused by one
of those wounds. After the war he was ap-
pointed pension agent for this state, and was
retained in that position till Boston was made
the headquarters for New England. Colonel
Rodman was a brave man, and he was very
much respected. In the attack on Fort
Wagner, Colonel Rodman received a desper-
ate wound, but bore up with characteristic
heroism, inspiring and cheering forward his
men. lie was breveted brigadicr general for
gallant service, but never allowed himself to
use the title.
JOSIAII GILBERT HOLLAND.
In the death of the above well-known char-
acter the literary world and a wide circle of
friends mourn the loss of one of the bright-
est lights of our time. He was a most cour-
teous gentleman and a pure-minded man. He
had positive convictions upon every great
question and abundant courage and ability to
avow them. Among men of letters he was
esteemed an unselfish, able and earnest
worker in the literary field. He was truly a
Christian gentleman and exerted as healthful
an influence by the example of his personal
conduct as by his fascinating writings. He
was born July 24, 1819, at Belchcrtown,
Mass. Arriving at manhood, be practiced
medicine for a time ; his profession becoming
distasteful, he assumed editorial direction of
a literary magazine. From the editor's chair
Dr. Holland was called to Vicksburg, Miss,
where he filled the position of superintendent
of instruction for a year. In 1847 he accept!
ed a position on the staff of the Springfield
(Mass) Republican, with which journal he
was identified until until 1870, or 1871. He
then took charge of Scribner-'8 Monthly, of
which be retained the active management
until last year, when, on account of ill-health
be disposed whatever proprietary interest
he had, but was still known as the conductor
of the magazine, which position he was to
have held on the Century, into which Scrib-
ner’a was merged. The deceased had been
in ill health for the past three years, but
lately was thought to have improved. The
family consists of a wife, and two daughters
andason; the latter is just completing his
college course. In their sorrow the bereaved
ones may he assured of the sympathy of the
reading world.

As considerable confusion exists in the
minds of our fellow-citizens concerning the
Presidential succession, it may as well once
more be stated that, in case of the vacating
of the office of President from any cause,
by the President first chosen, and by the
Vice President succeeding him, no man can
succeed to the Presidential ofiice until there
is a new election by the people. In the case
of such acontingency as that above noted,
the President of the Senate, if there is one:
or the Speaker of the House, if there is no
President of the Senate, acts as President
until a new election is held. The call for a
special election is to be issued by the Secre-
tary of State, under certain conditions, and
through the governors ef,the States. There'-
fore, in case President Arthur should die,
resign, or become disabled, we should find
no constitutional provision for his immedi-
ate successor. Nor is there any constitu-
tional provision made for the designation of
a person to discharge the functions of the
office of President in the event of the death
of the President and Vice-President, and of
there being no President of the Senate or
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The ,President of the 38mm, elected
Oct. 10, would be acting President of the
United States in case of a vacancy occurring
in that oflice, but, while he remains merely
President of the Senate, he may be removed
at any time by a vote of the Senate.

is absolutely certain in its remedial effects and
acts more promptly in curing all forms of Malari-
al diseases than calomcl or quininc,without any of
the injurious consequences which follow their
use. If taken occasionally by persons exposed to
Malaria
It will expel the Poison and Protect thcmfrem
attack.
As evidence sec extract from W.B. Yatcs’ letter.
where the Regulator afforded protection from the
worst and most deadly type of Malaria, to wit :—
Yellow Fever. ‘ '
. “Sins :—I have stood the storm of four eplde -
ics of the Yellow Fever. 1 had it the first visita-
tion, but during the other three I used your med-
icine. I was continually in the rooms of tne sick
and dying, but I escaped. I had severalask me
how I escaped. I told them the virtue of your
Simmons’ Liver Regulator. If the Fever was
to break out again and I had a bottleof your Rey
ulator I woul feel as safe as if I was 1,000 miles
awn .
“Afemphis, Tenn.. April 17. 1879." -
Having neutralized the poison of Malaria in
such extreme cases, it can be relied on as a sover-
eign specific and antidote in milder forms.

Nonwanx, Conn, Fall season of ’81.
To the Farmers of Fairfield and Lffclfield
Counties .- . .
Commission; I desire to call your atten-
tion to the fact that I shall have this Fall the
largest stock of dry lumber ever offered in
this vicinity. 0f barn covering I have now
on the Erie canal, and due here by the 20111
of this month, 250 thousand feet of IO-ineh
boards, dressed and matched in the finest mill
in the ‘world.
I i... also shipping from Bay City, Michi-
gan, 225 thousand feet of narrow barn cover-
ing. This will be planed two sides, matched
in the middle of the edge so as to turn either
side out, and for onion and tobacco barns,
will be unsurpassed. This lumber is all of
the cut of 1880, is dry, sound knotted, and
with little or no sap, being manufactured
from stock boards. I am receiving and sell—
ing as they arrive the shingles from two mills
to wit: The T. H. McGraw do Co.- and] E.
J. Hill brands. Of each of these I have sold
during the past few years several millions,
can thoroughly acquainted with them, and
can guarantee them as unexeclled by any
shingle in the state of Michigan. The lum
her is soft, free from shake, the shingles are
honestly made, and I will warrant them to
cover 140 feet to the thousand when laid 5
1-2 inches to the weather. I have not known
a. case where they have not exceeded this.
I have also arranged for a full line of clear
dry 1 and 1 14 inch Spruce, 14 feet long, as
well as the ordinary length of 13 feet. In
all grades of lumber used in storing and our-
ing onions I aim to keep fully supplied. Am
prepared to make special figures for car load
lots of lumber for tobacco eases, either cut up
or simply surfaced two sides. In Spruce
timber, I keep a full assortment of all usual
sizes, from 2x3 to 8x8 and 6x10 up to about
40 feet in length.
Gentlemen, There is no doubt about the
fact that a person can sometimes go into the
wholesale market and buy dry lumber, but
as a general rule the way to get'it J‘s‘to buy it,
take good dare of it, and season it. ’ However
unpleasant it may be to carry a years stock,
it is the only way I can find to give my cus-
tomers what they want. It is what I have
done for threoyears, and what I 'shall con-
tinuc to do so long as my trade will justify it.
In on grades of finishing lumber I offer
stock of Pine, Spruce, Hemlock, Ash, Black
Walnut, Cherry, Whitewood, and Southern
Pine, from one to three years old.
I will deliver lumber promptly anywhere
that customers will pay for taking it, by rail,
team or vessel, and my facilities for so doing
are as perfect as I desire. Nine-tenths of my
lumber I buy from the man who cuts down
the tree. I get as near the prodwer as it .is
my customers as low as is consistent with a
fair, reasonable profit to myself, to which I
am entitled. In this way I am enabled to
offer to the public every advantage of the
wholesale market as well as to reap some
benefit for myself , which I am free to say is
the primary object.
Inquiriesin person or by correspondence
will be promptly attended. to. Soliciting a
continuance of the patronage so liberally es-
tended'hcretofore, I am' respectfully yours,
0mm cruel. J
