call to Danbury and will remain here.
_ Miss Nettie Morehouse,,only daughter of
Sherman Morehonse, Esq, was married on
Thursday evening last, by the Rev. H. H.
Barbour, to Mr. Orean Bassett of Stamford.
The happy pair have the best wishes of a large
circle of friends.
B. G. N orthrop’s lecture was fairly attend-

EASTON.
This is abad year for the Democrats in
this little town. Only four years ago Easton
was looked upon as always good for fifty dem-
ocratic majority, this year it comes to the
front with fifty-nine Republican majority.
The unpleasantness of the weather only in.
creased the enthusiasm of the workers, and
before eleven o'clock the Democrats ac-
knowledged themselves beaten. Mr. Stephen
D. Wheeler, the representative elect, is a
thoroughly popular man whose ability and
fitness for the position are acknowledged by
all who know him. Easton is to be congrat-
ulated on having made so good a choice.
WEST STRATFORD.
Rev. S. Keisteller, a converted Jew, will
deliver a lecture in the Summerfield M. E.
Church, this evening on “ The Manners and
Customs of Modern Jews.” The speaker
will illustrate his subject in various ways.
He is the grandson of a Jewish Rabbi, and
the lecture is said to be a very interesting
one.
Parties who have a cesspool on Lake street
have been ordered by the Court of Burgesses
to remove it without delay or they will be

Pembroke Lake is soon to be stocked with
a rare and choice variety of fish by its owners.
The importance of every one who wishes
to vote, seeing that his name is on the list,
was forcibly illustrated at the late election.
Several old residents were deprived of their
votes for the reason that the registrars forgot
to add their names when making up the new
list. They were equally divided between
both parties. '
Anson H. Blakeman republican candidate
for representative was elected by one majori-
ty while our candidate for senator, Mr. Ba-
ker, received a:majority of 62. This result
may seem strange to some, but to those who
know the inner workings of the election, and
the disgraceful methods resorted to by the
democratic managers, it is easy of explana-
tion. Never, at an election in this town be-
fore was competition resorted to so openly
and unblushingly. It is estimated that near-
ly $200 were expended in this voting district
by the pure (P) democratic managers. Men
who never had money before were liberally
supplied that day, and free rum was all the
rage. The writer saw and heard one man
employed on the democratic side approach a
voter, and tell him to hold on with his vote,
and he would have a chance to make a few
dollars. Men were stationed in all directions
to watch for doubtful voters, and to take
them into a saloon near by, fill them with
. rum, follow them to the ballot box and watch
them till they voted. Another thing or
“dodge" it might be called was the oyster
question. Some capitol was made by the
democrats out of that; indeed it was their
whole stock in trade, nothing else was offered
by them. Many republicans staid away from
the polls thinking there was no chance for a
democrat to be elected from Stratford, but
when some of them learned when it was
nearly too late, how matters stood, they
rallied, and at the last moment, and just
saved the day. The democrats talk of con-
testing Mr. Blakeman’s seat when the Legis-
lature meets. Such a course on their part
will be gladly welcomed by the republicans
as it will bring out the " true inwardness "
of elecrion,and at the same time open the eye
of the Legislature as to how well (P) the- law
regarding the closing of rum holes on election
day is enforced. The election of Mr. Baker
for senator sets at rest the silly claim that
this is a democratic district. All honor to
old Norwalk that never yet was wanting in
an emergency. On the whole, Connecticut
republicans have reason to be proud of their
day’s work; especially when our democratic
friends relied so strongly on the effects of an
“ off” year. It was “ off” to them.
Friday night last some roughs from Bridge-
.port created a disturbance in this place by
breaking out windows in Walker’s saloon,
and smashing things in general. A number
of them have been arrested, and it is hoped
they will get something more than “ $1 and
costs.” W.

of horses to draw :them, and a large vehicle
with sleeping apartments, to accommodate
them when overtaken by darkness or by a
storm. This novel method of traveling is
chosen in order that they may have a better
opportunity of seeing the country through
which they are to pass. If they have no
mishaps the journey will be completed in
about fifteen days. One of the party is ac-
companied by his wife and child.

At the late election representatives only
were voted for. Three tickets were in the

nominations, but the democracy were not

'Scofield and Gillespie, were elected by hand-
some majorities. '

WESTPORT.
WEDDING Anarvaasanx.-—This (Monday)
evening. being the 20th anniversary of the
marriage of Rev. anders. John R. Williams
the members of Christ ,Church parish with
which Mr. Williams has been associated for
upward of 21 years, called at the rectory to
pay.lheir respects, and take part in celebrat—
ing the happy event. It was one of those
gatherings where the guests, being self-in—
vited, are all chc more welcome. That the
affair might be a perfect surprise (P) Mr. and
at the house of a neighbor, and during their
absence, by special plan, the interior of the
house was made ready for the cercnionies.
The rectors study was filled with household
articles as indescribable as they Were num-
erous and valuable. They were gifts by
parishioners to Mrs. Williams. Tables were
spread in the dining room, and loaded till
they groaned. The house was illuminatud
in every part, and when all was in readiness,
Mr. and Mrs. Williams were ushered in.
Amazed at the sight, and almost startled by
the number of friendly enemies who provul
to be armed, confronting them, they were
made to understand the nature of the situa
tion and, in so far as it was possible acknow-
cdged the compliment paid them. Afternthe
gifts had been formally presented, and a
purse filled with gold coin of much value
had been given to Mrs. Williams by the
ladies, there was a collation. Pleasing and
very animated scenes characterized it.
Throughout, the affair was most joyous and
resulted in giving Mr. and Mrs“: Williams an
idea as to whom some of their real friends
are, and their character, and a reassurance
so graceful enables them to set out anew in
the work of a parish, with which they have
so long been identified, and whose glorious
record they have done so much to establish
and maintain.

A plowing match took place Thursday, on
the farm of Mr. John H. Jennings, Green’s
Farms, under the auspices of the Farmer’s
Club. There were no prizes, the object be-
ing to determine which of a given number
of plows would best turn over mellow soils,
such as are employed for raising onions, and
at the same time cover with soil manure
spread broad cast. Messrs. W. J. Jennings,
D. H. Sherwood, and J. H. ”Jennings. acted
as judges. Seven plows were operated,
viz: A “Gale” No. 31, drawn by horses, B.
B. Banks driver ; a “Syracuse" No. 2, oxen,
driven by John Homell, Esq. ; a “Columbia”
No. 3, oxen, driven by E. O. Wakeman;
a “Syracuse,” No. 1, horses, Mr. Charles A.
Meeker; a “Syracuse,” No. 2, horses, Mr.
Miles Howell; a “Columbia,” No. 3, horses,
Mr. J. H. Downes; a “Gale,” No. 17 and 20,
Mr. B. B. Banks. The trial was very in-
teresting and was witnessed by a large
number of farmers and interested parties.
The judges informally gave preference to the
“Gale,” No. 31, and the “Columbia,” No. 6,
but unquestionably each of the ,plows did
first rate work, and confidence in individual
favorites is by no means shaken by the judges
decision.

THE conosar.
That Carl Feinenger is a great,a'magificent
violin player was shown Wednesday evening
at National Hall. He was brilliant in each
of his selections, especially in the f‘Reverie”
by Vieuxtemps, given as an encore to his
marvellous rendering of the Carnival of
Venice. ' The best tribute that can be paid
him is the speech of his violin which did
“ the soul of music shed." Dr. Powers,
though but an amateur violinist, added to his
already bright laurels. Mrs. Feincnger’s
“ Laughing Song " by Bendelsri, and her
piano accompaniments were excellent per-
formances, and her “ Robin Adair ” was an-
perbly given. For Miss Elsie Lees it is
pleasant to say that, her rendering of “When
the heart is young,” and “Sweetheart,” given
as they were, off hand, to fill a gap in the
programme, were creditable and indicate the
finished artist she is likely to become. Mr.
Taylor Goodsell was piano accompanist for
Miss Lees.
If extremes do not meet they may be quite
near each other as, for instance, the cold,
heavy rain of Saturday, and the mildness
and sunshine of Sunday morning.
All the democratic candidates voted for
Tuesday are satisfied to have been elected
except John W. Hurlbutt who feels that he
could go into the legislature with a much
stiffer political upper lip had he received
250 majority instead of a paltry 152. An
inch is as good as a mile, but then some men
never can be suited.
One of those rare events-a Golden Wed
ding, took place Wednesday evening, Nov.
7, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John M. J en—
nings. Some forty persons, including chil-
dren, grand and great grand were present.
The aged couple, seated in fine easy chairs
presented for the occasion, were “ at home,”
and received their guests with that heartiness
the out-growth of true hospitality, which
fraternal friendship induces. They were the
recipients of many presents. At the close
of a collation, addresses were made by Rev.
Mr. Relyea and others. Congratulations fol-
lowed, and the bride and groom, made happy
by the incidents attending this era in their
married life, began joyfully the second half

President Porter on Teaching.
'In the Hartford Post’s report of a teacher’s

President Porter of Yale College consented
to address the teachers and said: To teach
you must think of your work. Depend not
on the methods of others, unless you trans-
late them into your own manner. The
teacher is as much a learner as the scholar.
"If I get nothing new in every lesson, I think
my work is done and I might better stop.”
Be alive to the fact that the school and class
are each social. We owe much to our school
life in all the lesson of self-restraint coming
from the community of man to man. The
school is the great supporter of the common-
wealth. Competition with its kind gives the
teacher a power of influence. Bring the
whole community to act socially on the indi-
vidual. Never lose sight of the individual.

proving. The fidelity of the teacher is not

sides in Stratford, arrived in Bridgeport, it

‘Sumner’s Love ofBeautitul Hair.
In some reminiscences of Charles Sumner,
published in the Providence Press, is the
following: "The Sumner family .had very
abundant and beautiful hair. I remember
the emotion Mrs. Sumner could not suppress
although she tried to speak calmly, when
she told me that in her old age, approaching
the grave, as she felt herself to be, she yet
preserved the curls of her beautiful babes.
0f the nine children who had called her
mother, seven sons and daughters were in
their graves before she herself died at the.
age of eighty-one.;Char-les Sumner was a
great admirer of long and beautiful hair in
women. When his sister was in failing
health he wrote to his early and life-long
friend, the late Dr. S. G. Howe, as follows:
‘I have had a dear letter from my sister
Mary, in which she tells me she has been
obliged to part with her beautiful hair. It
touched me to the soul.’ ”

How to keep the Boys on the
Farm.
Boys on the farm grow tired of the every
day work on the farm, and even of their
homey, unless there is something to relieve
the monotony. Farmers make a serious mis-
take if they fail to make provision for recre-
ation for their children. Give them some-
thing they can truly consider their own, and
see how soon they become interested therein.
Let them have pets, pigeons, poultry, a calf,
a lamb, or even pigs, with the understanding
that they may have all the profit they can
make from them, and it will be seen that the
care and sales will inculcate the business
tact, and at the same time engraft on the
young and pliant mind a reverence for God.s
creatures that will be of lasting good through
ife. Visit a farm house where the children
are thus cared for, and note with what cheer-
ful countenanccs they visit their pets, their
flower beds, after the toll of the day is done,
seeming to forget in their enjoyment how
tired they were, and if you won’t realize how
much more blessed it is to give than receive,
rest assured you have no soul. Is it any
wonder that boys are anxious to leave the
farm just as soon as they become old enough
to be of assistance, when they have no home
attractions, when “ home ” means toil, tell,
no recreation of any kind, not even a circus?
Farmers, make your homes attractive, fur-
nish good reading matter, and see that they
enjoy themselves, and instead of driving the
boys away it will be found they have formed
pleasant attachments for their homes that
will be sufiicient inducement to remain.

NORWALK, CONN., Fall season of ’81.
To the Farmers of Fairfield and thchfield
Counties .-
GENTLEMEN; 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. Of barn covering I have now
on the Erie canal, and due here by the 201k
of this month, 250 thousand feet of 10-inch
boards, dressed and matched in the finest mill
in the world.
I am also shipping from Bay City, Michi-
gan, 225 thousand feet of narrow barn cover-
a
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, beingmanufactured
from stock boards. I am receiving and sell—
ing as they arrive the shingles from two mills
to wit: The T. H. McGraw‘Sa Co. and, E.
J. Hill brands. Of each of these I have sold
(luring the past few years several millions,
am thoroughly acquainted with them, and
can guarantee them as unexcelled by any
shingle in the state of Michigan. The lum
bar is soft, free from shake, the shingles are
honestly made, and I will warrant their). 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 1-4 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 ouiOns I aim to keep fully supplied. Am
prepared to make special figures for ear load
lots of lumber for tobacco cases, either out 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 is to buy it,
take good. care 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 three years, and. what I shall con-
tinue to do so long as my trade will justify it.
In all grades of finishing lumber I other
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‘frorn the man who cuts down
the tree. I get as near the producer as it is
possible to get, and deliver the production to
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.
Inquiries in person or by correspondence
will be promptly attended to. Soliciting a
continuance of the patronage so liberally ex-
tended heretofore, I-am respectfully yours
ELHILL.
