WESTPORT.
The arrival of machinery for Cornwall A?
Patterson, at the factory built for them by
the “Land and Improvement Company,” was
a settler for those who had sought to impress
the public with the thought that no lease
had been affected, and that our enterprising
company were in the market begging for a
customer. In view of the amount of money
expended by them, the thoroughness of
their work and the desirability of their es-
lablishment fora concern like the C. 35. B,
it is not l0) much to claim that there is
sincerity in their plans and movements.
It is whispered that they will quietly locate
here, go ahead with their great business,
and that as quietly the proposed new 400
feet factory will be erected, and in a short
space of time be occupied and running. At
this time 3. Bridgeport firm, of which Mr. Z.
Goodsell is the head are putting heating ap-
paratus into the new fantory. A large steam
engine will naturally follow, and very soon
Weslport will hear the hum of activity.

not less than two hundred :pcrsons with ap-

Thursday morning was cold and raw, but
sunshine got the best of it and brought about
a passably fine day, the pleasures of which
were entranced by the fact that people were
obliged to keep within doors. The churches
drew good congregations and the pastors,

themes calculated to keep alive the feeling
which none of us as yet have ever known to

important, and its associations worthy of be-
ing preserved.
' The last trip down by the Adelphi was
improved by many Westporters, who, ad-
mitting the wisdom of withdrawing the
steamer for the season, regret the circum-
stance. For a time they will pay high rates
of fare to get to New York, and patiently
await the coming of spring, which will give
them low rates again.

Mr. and Mrs. James R. Nichols and fam-
ily, of New York, spent Thanksgiving in
Westport.
One of the smartest men in this vicinity
for a man of his great age (90 years,) is Mr.
Ward Nichols. bThough a resident of Wes-
ton, he is so frequently in our village as to
be considered one of us. The other day he
took a trip to New York, and accepted the
invitation of several friends to visit that
Pandemonium just off Wall street, commonly
called the Stock Exchange. It Was so noisy
that he could scarce hear himself think, but
he enjoyed the visit notwithstanding. Mr.
Nichols retains his faculties and strength to
such a degree as to be able to transact all his
business, enjoy life, and be an intelligent ob-
server of passing events. PAUL.
On Saturday last, Mr. and Mrs. B. M. An-
drews and her little son, of Coxsackie, met
with quite an adventure and what came near
being a serious accident. 0n returning to
their home from a visit to New York, they
reached Coxsackie at about 8 o'clock in the
evening, and when about to cross the ferry at
that place, Mrs. Andrews, leading her little
boy by the hand, was about to step on the
.boat, she heard a team of horses close behind
them, and stepped one side for them to pass.
It being dark, she fell between the dock and
the ferry boat some twelve feet below, pull-
ing her little boy with her. Mr. Andrews
called to them and hearing no reply, jumped,
landing on some stones, the water being low,
and receiving severe injuries. Mrs. Andrews
was picked up insensible, having received a
severe scalp wound and injuries to her spine.
She was taken to the hotel near by and med-
ical assistance procured, and is doing as well
as can be expected. Mrs. Andrews is a
daughter of Mrs. Eben Hill, this city—Ra-

Relief from Coal Gas.
To the Editor of the Tribune:
Sm: Cold weather is approaching, and
doubtless many of your readers will, on ac-
sleeping rooms in which fires are kept burn-
ing all night. If the stove is any way do-
feclive or the room close, great discomfort is
often felt from the coal gas which escapes.
This may be somewhat remedied by exposing
a little liquid ammonia in a saucer or plate in
the room before retiring.

The jealousy which is popularly supposed
to exist among all professional musicians,
finds an honorable and creditable exception
in Mr. A. S. Gibson of Norwalk, formerly of
this city, who in a card published in the Ga-
zette of this week, speaking of the concert to
be given in N orwalk this evening, by Mr. W.
J. Hall, of Bridgeport, says: “ Let me
through your columns, advise the good peo—
ple of Norwalk to go and hear Mr. Hall on
Friday evening. I have not the pleasure of
his acquaintance, nor have I heard him play;
but I have such information as to his artistic
qualifications as disposes me to use in his
favor whatever influence I may possess.”

The Democracy.
An exchange speaking of modern, patent,
bourbon and hard-shelled Democracy, truly
observes:
“The people are tired of a party that deals
so generously in promises of reform, and
that leaves in its track only evidences of
corruption, weakness and imbecility; that
knows nothing in politics but spoils, and that
never accedes to power, but to convert most
sacred trusts confided to it into rewards for
political services.”

Requirements of the Pension Bu
reau.
Something over $100,000,000 have already
been paid out for arrears of pensions, and
Commissioner Dudley estimates that it will
require $235,000,000 more to pay the remain.
ing claims which have already accrued under
the arrears of pensions bill, making an ex-
penditure of $335,000,000 under an act which
Congressmen and Senators thoughtlessly
passed, at the request of a ring of Washing-
ton pension claim agents. Commissioner
Dudley asks for $20,000,000 to complete the
work of the present fiscal year, and 3100,-
000,000 for the next fiscal year, leaving $115,-
000,000 to be provided for in the following
year, in addition to current claims amounting
to between $30,000,000 and 40,000,000. He
thinks Congress should know the full extent
of the Nation’s liabilities under the arrears
bills, and should provide for their discharge
without delay.

The first impression Sara Bernhardt re-

self thusly 2—“ 0h! ze ladies,za are so beau-

of Swayne’s Ointment for skin diseases, which
insures a clear and clean complexion, and a
healthy color. This recalls to mind the di-
vine precept “Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness.” . 4t46

All the selfishness isnt on the side of the
employers by any manner of means. What
could be more despicable than the conduct of
the hundred able-bodied men employed in a
New York cigar factory who struck work
last week because the owners had promoted
a 17 years-old girl into the same room with
them and had raised her wages. The girl was
a slster of a dead comrade and fellow work-
man, she had an old mother to support, her
brother in his life time had taught her how
to do the work. the owners assured the men
that they had no wish to introduce cheap la-
bor into the shop, They offered to refer the
question to a mixed board of arbitration that
for years has passed on all differences arising
in the factory. But the men were deaf; the
girl must. go, or they would go. The girl
became frightened and went home to her
mother; but the owners-to their credit be
it recorded—entreated her to stay, offered
her the same pay they had been giving the
men, advertised for a hundred hands, and let
the strikers go right on striking. Well done,
Messrs. Straiton d7 Storm! A Sun reporter
deseribes the illtconditioned churls who
grudge the mother and sister of a dead com-
rade their little stroke of good fortune, as
“well dressed andflintelligcnt looking.” It is
a relief to be told that they were not born in
this country.

NouwALx, Court, Fall season of ’81.
To the Farmers of Fairficld and Lz‘tchfield
Counties :
GENTLEMEN ; I desire to call your‘atten-
tion to thofact 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 hero by the 20th
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—
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 & Co. and, E.
J. Hill brands. Of each of these I have sold
during the past few years several millions,
am thoroughly acquainted with them, and
can guarantee them as unexcclled by any
shingle in the state of Michigan. The lum
bcr 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 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 cut-
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 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 offer
stock of Pine, Spruce, Hemlock, Ash, Black
Walnut, Cherry, Whitewood, and Southern
Pine, from one to thfee years old.
[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 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.
Inquiriesinperson or by correspondence
willbe promptly attended to. Soliciting_a
continuance of the patronage so liberally ex-
tended heretofore, I am respectfully yours
E. J. HILL.

Another Miracle Performed by
Dr. Fiske.
A wcnderful and speedy cure of Mrs. _Fenn, of
Waterbury, Ct., by. the laying Ion cl hands,
through the mediumistic power of Dr. 1' lske,
In consideration of whom gt may concern, I
hereby certify this testimonial aria true sworn
statement of the facts concerning mycure, made
by S. W. Eiskc. Uluirvoyant Physician ol Nor
wich. and office at 270 Chapel street, New Haven.
I hereby certify that I have been _s|ck—-unable
to work for the past ten years. During all ollhis
time I have been treated by several physicians
without any permanent benefit. Alter giving up
all hopes of recovery, I received a letter 1mm a
lady in Bridgeport stating what uwonderlul cure
Dr. Fiske had made for her; advising me to ap—
ply lo him for relief. as she thought her drllicul-
ties were similar to mine. I called on the Doctor
and found him to be a congenial gentleman. and
requested him to make a clauvoyunt examina-
tion of my health, which he did lolly.explaining,r
all of my diseases at sight to my_ entire satisfac.
(non. 1 had a complication of diseases about me
—almost cycrything ailcd me—wlncb made my
life very miserable.
I had a. paralyzed throat for several years.
which was so bad that I could not swallow any-
thing but liquids, an (I. sometimes I would be lit-
teeniminutes swallowingonc teaspoontul. It was
almost impossible to swallow anything mythroat
was so paralyzed, It seemed sometimes as ll 1
should starve. . _
In less than fifteen minutes after the Doctor
laid his hands on my throat I drank half a. turn-
blot of water to the astonishment of myself and
husband. I then put myself under his new method
of treatment which was entirely new to me. I
had a con h of ten years’ standing .wlnch disap-
cared in till-cc days. I was so bloated Wllll water
in my 3 stem that I was hardly a,f ‘~ to walk.
After ta big four magnetic trenlr. .utsan-l one
month’s medicine,I found to my surprise I had
removed twenty pounds of bloat and water,
whiehlcuvcs me now my naturulvsize and Weight.
For several years 1 was completely prostruted
with nervous weakness, which caused me a great
deal of pain and suffering in my bowels and back.
After five minutes treatment I was- entirely
cured and free from pain, and have not been
troubled since with this dilllculty. l was also
cured of enlargement ol‘thc liver, my kidneys
had pained one for a long time, my lcet and limbs
were blonted.also‘ week and nervous so that it
was impossible for me to keep my feet still. I
could not read, if I did it would go directly to my
hen-rt.
I am now permanently cured of all those dis-
eases and I now feel liken new person in every
form.lull of life and vigor. I cannot find lan-
guage to express my gratitude to the Doctor for
the astonishing cure he has made for me in only
a. few weeks time. . _
Thisis a true sworn statement which I freely
give for the benefit of suffering humanity. I ad-~
vise all those who arealllicted to consulmhc Doc-
tor at once and receive his valuable treatments
and medicines.
