The snow storm of February 4 was very
severe. The weather was cold, the snow
fulleu'ge and the wind high. The snow
drifted greatly. The roads were blocked.
Though the following day. Sunday, was
bright. and pleasant, there was no passing
through the streets. The churches were
uuvisited, though one of. the church bells
sounded for the call to divine worship, the
people did not respond, A portion of
Monday was spent by many with teams and
shovels in opening the high ways.
List Thursday, there was a heavy rain,
which rendered both sleighiug and wheeling
on some of the roads very difficult and un-
pleasant.

A dispatch was reCeived in town on Sat-

at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, of Brevet-
Major Samuel B. Ferris, in the forty-third
year of his age. The deceased officer was a
native of Stamford, and a son of our greatly
esteemed townsman Hon. Joshua B. Ferris.
Major Ferris was admitted to the military
academy of West Point Sept 1, 1857,
from which he graduated June 24, 1861,
when he was commissioned Second Lieuten-
ant in the Eight Infantry. He passed
through the war of the rebellion, doing good
service in several campaigns. He was en-
gaged in the battle of Bull Run and in the
defenses of Washington from July to Octo-
ber, 1861, after which henwas transferred to
' garrison duty in New York, where he re-
mained a year, during which time he was
promoted to be First Lieutenant of the
Eight Infantry. He was made Colonel cf
the Twenty~Elglitl‘l,Rcaiment of Connecticut
Volunteers Nov. 15, 1802, and saw some ac—
tive servme while holding this commission
He. was in command of a brigade of the
Nineteeth Army Corps in the expedition to
Port Hudson, La, May 10 to 27, 1863. in
assault of June 15. For gallant servrcvs in
this campaign he was brevclted Captain in
the regular army, Jupe 14, 1863, and in the
followmg August he was mustered out of the
volunteer Service. Capt. Ferris was engaged
principally in garrison, provost guard, and
escort duty from this time until Oct. 8, 1864,
when he was in command of a regiment
serving with the Fifth Army Corps in the
Operations before Petersburg. He was en-
gaged at Butcher’s Run, V.:., Oct. 27, 1861,
and for his bravery in this battle was made
Brevctdilujor. He was raised to the full
rank of Captain and transferred to the
Thirticth Infantry, June 28. 1866, and since
then he had been engaged principally in
garrison and frontier duty in the West. He
was quartered at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyom-
ing, from Dec. 2, 1878, until his death, Feb.

When the chill winds blew Sunday and
Monday, one week ago, few thought it
possible there could be mild weather enough
so soon afterward to break' the ice in the
river, destroy the. sleighing and render the
advatce of winter pleasant rather than
otherwise. That great snow seemed to have
stability, if quantity is an an inclination, and
the little army ofsbovclers wh.o labored
among the snow banks, and the snow path
makers headed by Messrs. Frederick More-
housc and William ll. Marvin were convinc-
e.l that no ordinary mildness could make
very much of an impression on the mass.
A few hours rainfall and warm sunshine
effected a change, so marked, that we can
already look over the few days of winter re-
maining, into March, the first month of.
Spring.

Taking early adv outage of the snow a party
of merry sleighers from Norwalk stopped at
the village hotel Monday night, and were the
recipients of those attentions which first-

that are past. Under the new management
it seems to have gained popularity.

with all needed machinery will be introduced
and that a first class establishment will be

building can be readily reached in case car-
goes of lumber are brought, and its prox-
imity to the village, will enable patrons to
avail themselves of what promises to be fine
opportunities. There is no reason why
Westport should not supply her own people

Mr. H. W. Lyon, the live and popular
insurance agent excepts to certain statements
recently made in this column relative to the
payment of $1,250 instead of $2,500 by the
agents of the Phoenix company to the widow
of the late F. B. Morehouse. We called the
company’s act a sort of swindle. Mr. Lyon
defends by citing facts tending to show that
the swindle, if any, was perpetrated by the
applicant for insurance and his examining
physiciau,and not by the agents of the Phoe-
nix. He says “The applicant was a young
man of twenty-four years, born, reared and
educated in Westport, of good family and a
salesman in one of the dry goods houses of
the place. He applied to the Phoenix in
1863 for $2,500 insurance, and was examined
by Dr. Ghorge B. Benton, 3 residént physi—
cian, who had married Mr. M's cousin some
seven years before, and who had been
familiar with the constitution and pedigree
of the applicant since the year 1854 In
reply to the question in his application as to
‘ whether his parents, uncles or aunts, or any
of his family had ever been insane,’ Mr, M.
answered ‘ no.’ The examining physician
made the acquaintance of the Morehouse
family in 1854, and in 1857 visited an aunt
of the applicant in the insane asylum at
Hartford, and in 1861 married her niece, and
has resided in close contiguity to the More-
house family ever since, acting in the char-
acter of their family physician. In his
medical examination he denied, in his own
handwrigingmvcr his own signature that any
of the family had ever been insane, thereby
confirming the misrepresentations made by
the applicant, and he further stated that the
applicant was not. locally or constitutionally
predisposed to any hereditary taint of any
disease.” Mr. Lyon says the facts are, the
applicant’s mother ‘has been twice in the
insane asylum. An aunt four times in the
retreat, a half great aunt once. Two years
before his death the applicant, Mr. More-
house, became insane and was sent for
treatment to Dr. Buell’s private Asylum at
Litchfield. He returned at the end of a year
improved, but was afterward sick with
typhoid fever, from which he died. Mr.
Lyon further says, it a rule of all compiinies
not to insure where insanity exists in the
pedigree, and it is always agreed that mate-
rial misrepresentations shall forfeit payments
made to the company and viiiate the policy.
The proofs of loss in this case revealed the
fact of Mr. M's insanity as also the mother’s,
and the company procured from the records
of the asylum the history of such members
of the family as had been treated by it, and
declined to pay the full amount of the loss.
By the terms of the agreement, Mr. L. says,
the company were not obliged to pay any
part of the same, but at no time did they
refuse to pay back the premiums received‘
with interest, and finally paid $500 in addi-
tion, in order to avoid litigation, or a total
of $1,200 in cash, and restored $100 in notes
for unpaid premiums, which sum was
accepted in f all satisfaction by the beneficiary.
From these facts, MLL. thlnks the intelligent
reader can draw conclusions as to who was
at fault, and will fail to ccnsurencorporation
for strutting it's treasury against all persons
not entitled, in their attempts to procure‘the
surplus of the other legally entitled policy
holders. V I’AUL-

Letters from the People.
Masses. EDITORS: . ‘
In an account of the last meeting of the
Board of Councilmen, held Feb. 6th, given
in the Sentinel, is the following: The
committee on revision of the city charter
reported that they had completed their work.
The alterations which the committee recom-
mended were read, which were accepted and
revision and proposed amendments approved.
The clerk was directed to hand the charter
—ss amended and revised—to Senator Baker
in order that it may be brought before the
present session of the legislature. In the
Hartford Daily Gourant of W educhav, Feb.
lst, we find the following in the record of
legislative proceedings: Bills referred by
Mr. Paige, of Sherman, establishing the revi'
sion of the South Norwalk Charter. Re-
ferred to committee on Cities and Boroughs.
The enquiry has been made by not afew .
“what does this mean i” Six days after this
motion, our councilman held an inquest over
the charter, and solemnly ordered it placed in
the hands of State Senator Baker, that it
may be brought before the present session of
the legislature. Who has stolen a march on
our vigilant councilmen ? Who procured a
copy of the proposed amendments, and
authorized a legislator from another town to
present it before it was sanctioned by the
councilmcu? Are we to have two charters.
or is the part presented by Mr. Pagie to be
established by the legislature, and that pre—
sented by Mr. Baker to be discussed in the
Senate, and then established.
It 'is certain that the legal voters know
very little what is going on in regard to
changing the charter, or remember what an
expensive job it is. Every change made in
former years, enefltted only the' law officers
of the city, and it may be so in the amend-
ments now proposed.
We‘hope there has been no underhanded
work in this matter, and trust that the re-
ferring the approved amended charter to Mr.
Baker, will not be taken as an insult by Mr.
Page. All the benefits the people are likely
to receive from any amendment proposed,
will be the privilege of helping pay for the
amendments, and than paying the printer:
for printing new copies of the charter, and as
a consequence, amended ordinances. These
will not be completed till near the end of
the year, when two or three interested mep
will propose and get another amendment, so
that every year, the same thing is gone over.

engage the attention of the community is a
province of our work of which we are not
unfrequently reminded, and a privilege that
we feel at liberty to exercise in reference to
the business of Messrs. W. B. Hall and

more deserving of success as they seem to be

New York, Boston and Connecti-
cut Railroad.
Cn Tuesday the railroad committee of the
legislature opened the hearing on the peti-
tion for the incorporation of the New York,
Boston and Connecticut railroad company.
Mr. Lyndc Harrison, in opposition, moved“
fora postponement, but it was not granted.
The petition was read, showing the capital
stock of the proposed road is to be from ten
to twenty millions, its length from the New
York. to the Rhode Island line 113 miles,
cost per mile $78,750, total cost $8,809,750.
Miles B. Shubarth, civil engineer, testified
that he had made a survey of the line and
regarded it as feasible. It 'will run from the
New York line through the northern parts of
the towns on the Sound to New Haven,
thence on a line north of the Shore Line
road to near Essex, and thence nearly straight
in a north-easterly direction to the Rliodc
Island line. Ex-Governor Jewell, one of the
corporators, made an extended statement.
He explained some of the disadvantages
as to freights under which Hartford and other
merchants labor and said that he paid ten
cents per hundred on hides from Hartford to
Yew York, and fifteen cents to Boston, while
hides can be shipped from Boston to Detroit
at 12 cents and from Hartford to Detroit at
14 cents per hundred weight. The existing
railroads are glut-ted with business and
freighls are delayed, and this proposed road
will certainly be constructed if chartered.
He believed their was a public demand for a
new road from New York to Boston, and
the cities of New Haven, Mcridcn, Hartford,
Norwalk, Bridgeport and Stamford will be
largely benefitted. ,On cross-examination by
Mr. Harrison, Governor Jewell said that it
was his own affair how much money he in-
tended to invest in the road; others will
invest also, but he did not feel at liberty to
give their names. More people have express-
ed themselves in favor of the road than
against it. He did not know of any “con-
struction company" in connection with the
enterprise, and the company did not propose
to ask for anything more than the plans and
surveys called fcfr. The road will be extend-
ed beyond thc line at each end of the route.
The hearing will be resumed this afternoon.
The corporutors named are: Marshall
Jewell, Hartford ; Jared E. Redfield, and W.
C. Hough, Essex; Charles L. Mitchell and
G. Lewis, New Haven; 0. S. Smith and
Henry B. Towne, Stamford; Horace C.
Wilcox, Meriden; Sidney Turner, E. -Wins-
low Williams, D. H. Darling, and H. H.
Osgood, Norwich ; J. S. Parsons, and Samuel
Bingham, Windham ; Samuel C. Ely, Lyme ;
.{oseph Poole and S. H. W itherbec, New
’crk.
The second hearing of the petitioners be-
fore the railroad committee took place Thurs-
day, and was brisk enough to be more than
ordinarially interesting. The case was con-
ducted for the incorporators by General Hel-
logg, Judge Harrison appearing in opposition.
President Watrous of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road watched the pro-
ceedings and took notes. Ex-Mayor Lewis
of New Haven was the principal witness ex-
amined. He said Connecticut was at a dis-
advantage in relation to competition in
manufacturing, because freights can be
transported from Cincinnatiand Chicago to
Vermont and New Hampshire cheaper than
from the southern line of Connecticut.
Freights co‘hld be shipped to New York from
many cities on the eastern border of the
state and reshipped to Vermont cheaper than
if sent direct. He said the railroad compa-
nies had more business than they could at-
tend to with faithfulness to their customers
This assertion was made on the statement of
President Watroua at the last annual meet-
ing when he explained to a stockholder the
reason for running Sunday trains. Mayor
Lewis said he believed in competition as it
produces a healthy condition of affairs. The
New York, New Haven and Hartford road
is necessarily a monopoly as forty roads
pour their freight into this one channel for
New York. The company makes ten per
cent. and there can be no doubt that another
company can do the lame. Judge Harrison
questioned Mayor Lewis sharply in reference
to the backing ,lhe new enterprise had but
he evaded the question, answering that it
was none of Mr. Harrison's business. The
spectators who filled the room were amused
by the running tire between the two.
A special dispatch from Boston to the New
York Tribune says the first public step in
Massachusetts towards building the proposed
Air Line road between Boston and New
York was taken Thursday in the town of Do-
ver, where a hearing was held before the se-
lectmen and a right of way granted.

Whén that individual reached home in the

was raging found nowhere is greater contrast
to itself than in Al’s home.-—Danbury News.

1N MEMORIUM.
Thursday evening, January 26th 1882, Miss
Sarah Earle, of‘Oyster Bay, daughter of the
late Rev. Marmaduke Earle, departed this
life. Vchkencd by a prolonged attack of
malarial fever, which continued through the
Summer and Autumn—paralysis, that dread
messenger, ended her mortal career. De-
scended from an illustrious ancestry, and in-
heriting their many virtues, she was a very
valuable member of society. Her whole life
shone resplendent with precept and example.
Always the friend and patron of every insti-
tution, 'whosc object was the improvmcut of
man’s moral character, by both word and
deed, her llltl was given. The hand maiden
of education she assisted in preparing the
mind to receive its many beauties and incul-
eating its grand principles. Feeding the
hungry. clothing the naked, attending the
sick, and sympathizmg with the bereaved
were some of her many virtues; but the one
which was the most prominent, the highest
and the noblest of all her attributes, was her
devotion to the cause of Christ. As a
laborer in her Master’s Vineyard, she was
constantly at work—the winning of soul:
was her life‘s mission. .In the Sunday school,
assiduously she pursued her object; educat-
ing the young mind to receive .the glad tid-
ings. In sunshine or storm, night and day,
she was always at her post, in the sample of
God and the house of prayer, sowing the
good seed of love and peace. In her decease
religion has lost one of its nblcst defenders.
and the Baptist church a faithful supporter.
When spiritual death prevailed, when the
church showed signs of decay, with her ac-
customedeuc-rgy she would fan the dying
embers and infuse new life and hope into
the heart. ‘Wiistever may be our mdition
in this life, whether of poverty or affluence,
honor or dishonor, we have one common
destination—the grave. ,As we hasten thith-
erward, may we meditate on our mortality,
and try to cultivate those virtues which
shone so resplendent in the life of our de-
parted friend; that fadenot by the hand of
time, but grow more beautiful through all
eternity.
Sleep, sister sleep, sweet be thy rest,
Thy toilsof lilo are o’er
Resting secure on Jesus’ breast,
Rejoice forever more.
