WESTPORT.
A ,lnrgo number of town electors assem-
bled Tuesday, at Sturges’ Hallin response to
notice legally posted, to discuss the subject
of oyster protection in our river and harbor.
They have met many times before, and in
measures likely to prevent our ‘own and
outside vandals carrying off the \valuable
annual product of our river. Every enact-
ment became in a short time as a dead letter,
for, nobody had the courage to complain of
violations, and presently the nefarious oyster
stealing business went on as if never a word
had been uttered or a. restriction published."
Made wise by experience, the Selectmen and
others again not out, to prevent what is
clearly a disgraceful traffic and an insult to
.he head of every family who feels that he
has the right to take a few oyster each year
from the river as has always been done in
years gone by, and thus save the expense
which buying in market at high prices en-
tails. The meeting adopted a by-law with
five sections, among which the following are
important:
(1) That every person who shall, after
the first day of June, 1882, rake, dredge, or
tong in one day more than one bushel of
oysters or oyster shells upon any of the bank
of flats, or in any of the channels or ers
of Westport harbor or river, inside of a ine
running from Cedar Point to Seymour’s
Rocks, sc-callad (except such grounds as
have been designated by the committee ap-'
pointed by the town for the purpose of
planting oysters and that has been staked off
according to law) shall be punished by a fine
of not less than five dollars nor more than
twenty dollars for each offense. .
(2) Every person who shall use a dredge,
dredges or rake for the purpose of taking
oysters in any of the waters above the rail-
road bridgc at Saugatuck, shall be punished
by a fine of not less than four dollars, nor
more than twenty dollars for each offense.
(3) Fines collected for violation of these
by-laws shall be paid into the town treasury.
How will the above work. Already oys- ‘
termen are laughing in their sleeves, know-
ing full well that their denial when accused
of taking more than one bushel per day must
d and that none are likely to keep
such vigi ant watch of them as to detect in-
fringement, As the season advances two,
three, five and ten bushels willbe taken and
finally, the committee will give' the cause
up as a bad one, and the annual river scra-
ping will go on uninterrupted to the end as it
always had done. It has come to be under-
stood that oysters, like ripe blackberries, are
though Ethey should not be so bold, common
property to be captured by the man lucky
enough to first get on the ground. ‘ .
The funeral of the late John Buakee, who

When our horse railway was built four
years ago, the best of Southern yellowpine'

these timbers that some portion of the track

of an old timber authority at the‘ time the
road was built, that native chestnut or white
oak timbers would be morejdurabie than pine
and cheaper. _ PAUL.

on Tuesday noon the 19th inst., which com-

yard on Honsatonic Avenue, adjoining the
Old lumber yard of Lyon, Curtis do Go. The
flames soon spread to a large shed stored full
of lumber belonging to the new firm of Gran-
nis db ,Hurd, and for awhile threatened the
destruction of the Planing Mill, office build-
. ing and stacks of lumber, but after hours of
hard work the fire was subdued, with a loss
of about $30,000 worth of property, about
$12,000 of which fell upon the new firm,

may be we do not know. That it has no con-

ed we do know.”—

The N ation’s Characteristics.
Shrewdness and incredulity are the pre-
dominant characteristics of the American
people. - They will take no stock in an arti-
cle unless it 'is meritorious. When Dr.
Swayne launched his Ointment for the Piles,
that'itch so intensely at night,on a sea of hu-
man suffering, the physicians laughed, but
the people tried it all the same and manifest-
ed their approbation in a National endorse-
ment. .Now the allopaths and homoopaths
are laughing the other way. The world is
full of reverses. .4t15

The House of Representatives has passed
the new charter for Hartford which substan-
tialiy does away with the ancient government
and substitutes the city government. The
charter must be submitted to the people for
approval, and it is expected it will meet with
considerable opposition.
