CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
-0ur school teacher tireing of riding over
the delightful roads between Silver Mine and
this school district, has concluded to locate
here permanently for the winter.
The prospect of having the damage to the
bridges by the late flood repaired, is so flat-
tering that many are getting their sleighs
ready to use in celebrating the event. There
seems to be a determination to call a special
town meeting, to see if we must alwal’S be
treated so. The place where the mudholcs
are to be during the winter. are indellibly
marked, and not an effort has been made
even to drain the water oil the roads in low
places, and now it is ascertained that tho
abutment of the bridge across Five Mile
River, near Mr. Hathaway’s is caving in, one
corner is entirely gone.
BEDDING.
The great rains have filled the streams,
springs, and wells, occasioned considerable
trouble in collars, and greatly washed the
roads. Road repairers have much business.
The select School of the Misses Sanford
opened on Monday of last week. The next
day the Select ,School on Bedding Ridge.
commenced under the instruction of Miss
Martha Sanford, who was its teacher last
year.
Two young men belonging in Weston
came into town, on Sunday before last, and
being under the influence of liquor grossly
assailed one of our citizens. They were
arrested the next day, and had a trial before
Sustice Duncombe, and were suitably fined.

WILTON.
A pleasant social event occured Thursday
afternoon at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam D. Gregory in the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Lucretia Gregory to Mr.
Frederick D. Benedict, of North Wilton.
Well nigh a hundred guests witnessed
the ceremony which was performed by
the Rev. Frank Thompson of the Congre-
gational church. As the bride and groom
approached the parlor door, the strains of a
wedding march were given on the piano. A
hush, mutual vows exchanged, a declaration
a prayer and beneciction by the pastor, and
the two were made one. Congratulations
followed during which the joy of those uni-
ted was not—yes it was greater than that in
the hearts of those who had come to make
merry with them. Collation was partaken
of and after an hour of free interchange of
sentiment the bridal party took carriages for
South Norwalk, many old shoes, figuratively
speaking, being cast towards them as they
wheeled away. From thence they started
on a wedding tour which will embrace Sara-
toga and other places.
Among those present were Mrs. Clarissa
Raymond, Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, Mr.
and Mrs. Benajah Gilbert, Miss Clara Greg-
ory, Mrs. Clarissa Comstock, Mrs. Nathan
Comstock, Mr. L. K. Ferris, Mr. and Mrs.

The wedding of Miss Henrietta L. Greg-
ory, daughter of Mr. W. D. Gregory, of
Wilton, to Mr. Frederick Benedict, which
took place on Thursday afternoon at the
residence of the brides parents in Wilton,
brings to mind an incident connected with
the nuptials of the happy bride’s parents.
It was the fortune of the writer, to place in
the hands of our old friend Gregory, a copy
of the Gaznrrs containing a full report of
his own wedding just ten minutes before he
and his wife were made twain. That must
have been nearly forty years ago, yet the old
Gaznrrn continues to be first in furnishing
its patrons with the latest news. Mr. and
Mrs. Benedict were the recipients of many
hearty congratulations and the bride was
made doubly happy by many more costly
and tangible presents. Rev. Mr. Thompson
performed the marriage ceremony and the
happy couple after partaking of an ample
“spread” with joyous friends, departed via
New York, for a somewhat extended bridal
tour. May their whole married life ever be
as bright and happy as now.

DANBURY.
While the Rev. J. A. Freeman was
standing on the Main street bridge a
few days ago with his flve-years-old, the
child fell into the water and was carried over
the dam and under the bridge. The father
rushed down to the river bank and jumped
into the stream. As he did so he saw the
child coming through the opening at the end
of the bridge, and as he floated along caught
him in his arms and brought bun ashore.

NEW CANAAN.
On Thursday last the village was much
excited on account of a raid made upon some
of the liquor sellers of the place by Deputy
Sheriff Disbrow of Bridgeport, who with
warrants from Prosecuting Agent John H.
Perry of Norwalk, searched the places of
Gilbert Birdsall, Lucius M. Monroe, Samuel
Pennoyer and Geo. Burtis and secured a
large amount of liquors which will probably
be confiscated. Mr. Perry seems to have
been pretty well informed and it is thought
that be has abundance of evidence to convict;
the whole affair was worked up and carried
out ina very masterly manner by all of the
officials connected in the raid.
STAMFORD.
Mr. John Ryan, who for so many years

The manufacturing village of Shelton, was

New York Desiccating company occuipied
the upper story and E. C. Maltby the lowest.
The latter was manufacturing silverware,
having recently started, and had just finished
putting in $5,000 worth of new machinery,
all of which is a total loss. The former did
a large business in desiccated cocoanut, the
shells of which were manufactured into dip-

The total loss foots up $150,000, only about

A Paris editor was much bothered by one
of his staff who was constantly in debt. At
last, to that gentleman's horror, he one night
caught sight of the following paragraph in
type for the next morning's paper: “The
creditors of M. X— are hereby informed
that he has decided upon paying his
debts; and they may therefore present
themselves at the caisse of this journal
to-morrow. They will form a line along
the Rue '_Rossini, Rue Chanchant, Rue La-
Fayette, and Boulevard Hanssman.:A piquet
of sergents de ville will keep order. The
Marseillaise will not be allowed.” Aghast
at this, he went to see the chief. He had
gone from the city, leaving express orders
that the paragraph should go into the next
morning’s paper. It was not until the mo-
ment of going to press that the sub-editor
discovered that he had been made a victim
pf a practical joke which was intended as a
esson.

One Experience from Many.
I had been sick and miserable so long, and
had caused my husband so much trouble and
expense, no one seemed to know what ailed
me, that I was completely disheartened and
discouraged. In this frame of mind I got a
bottle of Hop Bitters and used them unknown
to my family. I soon began to improve and
gained so fast that my husband and family
thought it strange and unnatural, but when I
told them what had helped me, they said,
“Hurrah for Hop Bitters! long may they
prosper, for they have made mother well and
us happy.”-—Mothcr. 2t39

The Gaylord Place in Wilton.
On Tuesday last. September 26, there was
a small but pleasant gathering at the “Gay-
lord Place” in Wilton. Children and grand-
children came to celebrate the scventieth
birthday anniversary of its owner Mrs.
Sarah M. Davenport. There were present,
Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Adams of Norwalk, Mr.
and Mrs. Augustus Whitlock of Wilton and
their three children, and J.- G. Davenport
and his son of Waterbury. Mrs. Davenport
is the only surviving grandchild of the Rev.
William Gaylord, who from 1733 to 1766
was pastor of the Congregational Church in
\Vilton, then a parish in the town of Nor—
walk. At the time of his settlement the
meeting-house stood on the road leadin'g to
Belden's Hill, on land now owned by Irad
Morgan, and near the track of the Danbnry
6.: Norwalk Railroad.
When, in 1726, Mr. Sturgeon became pas-
tor of the newly organized church, a com-
mittee was appointed “to search out and
agree for a convenient piece of land for an‘
house-lot,” for his use. Just where this
“house-lot” was situated, is not entirely
clear. But upon Mr. Gaylord's accession to
the pastorate, the Society voted to buy it,
and the house upon it, for his use. It is
possible, although not probable, that the
house now standing is the identical mansion
occupied by the somewhat erratic Mr.
Sturgeon. The oldest document preserved
in the house, hearing date March, 14, 1734,
shows that the Rev. Mr. Gaylord having
received from the Society, as his “settle-
ment.,’ five acres of land, soon added to them
five acres more.
This was one year, one month and one
day after his ordination. The land then pur-
chased was obtained for eleven pounds, and
is described as follows, viz.,
“A certain piece of Land 1; ing in ye
Township of Norwalk, Scituate nigh unto
meeting house in Wilton, Bounded North by
a two Rod highway, East and South by high-
way or Comon Land or partly of both : West-
erly by Comon Land.”
The deed was given by Nathaniel Worden
of Greeenwicb, who upon the outside of the
document is called "Doctor.”
It strikes one as strange that so late as in
1634. there should be so much “comon” land
in the lower part of Wilton. It is a little
strange, too. that Dr. Worden of Greenwich
should own a tract in this region. Do any
of your readers know anything of such a
physician, and how it came about that he
held real estate in the district referred to?
The above document was signed “in ye
seventh year of ye reign of our Sovereign
Lord, George the Second, of Great Britain,
etc., King,” in the presence :of Joseph Platt
and John Pardce. According to Dr. Hall, one
of these witnesses is described in the town
records of Norwalk, as “ye Worshipful
Joseph Platt, Esq”! He was a “J ustice,”
and either because of his office or of some
special qualifications therefor, or both, he
had a hand in much of the public business
of his time. And here is the autograph of
the Worshipfnl, as bold and clear as if
written but yesterday by one ofbis succes-
sors in office. The deed was recorded by
John Copp, Register. The records show
that a man by this name, undoubtedly the
same,was in 1701 appointed "schoolemaster"
for the town of Norwalk.
In 1738, Rev. Mr. Gaylord added to his
estate still further by the purchase of
“Seaventy Rods” of Land, which are de-
scribed as “adjoining to the West :End of
his housedott, bounded Easterly by his own
land, westerly by ye Country Road, by sev-
erall Bonndaryes. ye South End coming to
a point by ye brook; North by comon
Land.”
The “brook" referred to is evidently that
which is still running near the Kent School-
house. But where the “house-lott” was, to
whose “West End" the seventy rods were
joined, is a difficult problem!
In 1748, the Wilton pastor, in the cnj oy-
ment of an apparent opulence that has not
been shared by many of his ministerial
brethren, purchased of John Marvin and of
John Marvin, Jr., “One Certain Parcel of
Land in Norwalk, Scituate at a place known
by ye name of ye two Brooks, in quanity by
Estimation Thirty-Six acres and forty-Seven
pole more or less, Bounded Northerly by
Land and Land of David Lambert, Souther-
ly by his own Land and Westerly by ed
Street’s Land Danberry Road or highway,
with a barn and ye fences standing on the
same.”
Six years later, in 1754, he added still an-
other piece of land to his estate, four and a
half acres in amount,bounded by land of his
own and of David Lambert. .
Thus in the course of- twenty years the
Parson’s premises extended, until they in-
cluded more than fifty acres, all of it, appar-
ently, in a single tract.
When, and by whom Mr. Gaylord’s house
was built is uncertain. There is a tradition
that it and the house just below the brook,
occupied for many years by Zadoc Bette,
and burned a few years since, were raised
upon the same day. Also that, in 1876, they
were over 200 hundred years old.
There is very little doubt that the house
remains to-day, essentially as it was when
Mr, Gaylord began his Wilton ministry. ;To
it he brought his fair bride, Elizabeth Dav-
enport, daughter of the learned Pastor of
the Church in Stamford, and sister of
Abraham Davenport, whose composure on
the"dark day" of 1790 is immortalized in
history and in verse. Fromit, after thirteen
happy years, he bore away her lifeless form,
and returning from her grave,tearfully wrote
in the Church records, the following tribute
to be: worth: “A good God has made her a
good wife to me, both in temporals and
spirituals; prudent, faithful, loving, loyal
and very respectful ; and I have great reason
to hope the God of all grace made her a good
Christian.”
Hither, after five years of widowcrhood,
he brought his second wife, Elizabeth Bishop
of Stamford, probably a granddaughter of
RevJohn Bishop of that place. Here his
thirteen children were born, here; sev-
eral of them were married,and here the most
of them died. Here, too. in 1707, the
faithful Pastor, after thirty-three years of
successful service in the Church of ,Christ,
laid down his burdens and entered into rest,
Here his widow, forty-five yearsafterward,
followed him into the unseen world. Here
in 1760 was born their son, the short, quick
nervous man, known to the older inhabitants
of Wilton as “Uncle Datie”; here he spent
his entire life and here, 1840, he died.
Beneath the same roof were born his only
child, his grandchildren, and at least one of
his great-grandchildren. Five generations
of the Gaylord family have thus been asso-
elated with the place. Who can tell how
many a time these ancient walls have looked
upon the Bridal? :How many a time they
have listenedflo the mourning for the dead?
If they could only speak, what tales they
could tell! The place is forever sacred,
because of Its associations with human weal
and we, with .the pure joys and the bitter
griefs that pertain to the earthly home;
with the merriment and the aspirations of
youth; the anxieties of busy manhood; the
memories and the hopes of age! Here have
been made those choices which gave direc-
tion to the life, and which snapped immortal
destiny! No man can know what human
souls have here experienced, of temptation,
of conflict, of victory! Nor what of heaven-
ly grace here came as strength and as light
to help on to righteousness and heaven!
Here, for more than a hundred years, the
elms have reached out their arms in bene-
diction ovcr the coming and the parting
guest! Beneath their shade may the de-
scendants of him who planted them long
find relief from Summer heatsl To her
home may the deer mother long welcome
the children I And at last, standing on the
porch of the Father’s house. may she greet
them, with them enter in to be forever with
the Lord. Gasman.
