Church. Southport, and was largely at-

and was often a member of its dicsce-
can and triennial conventions. He had
resided many years in Southport. and
beluga man of wealth and enterprise
had much to do with local affairs. and he
was influential in social circles. In early
life he was a largo owner in several lines
of shipping and in the coasting trade.
He represented the town of Fairfield in
the legislature several times. was a rail-
road commissioner and a director in the
New York & New Haven road besides
holding other important otlices. In
politics he was a Whig. Republican and
then a Greeley man. His home was the
resort of the cultured and good. and
none ever entered its portals without
feeling how genial and warm hearted
was its proprietor. Speaking rationally
of him. he lived to enjoy and enjoyed
while he lived. or until that period when
feebleness and decline—conditions which
may come upon any of us. rendered life
a burden. and death a happy release.
and designated it. ”Saved from Peniten-
tiary by my Money.“ or “Down on the

By report from Winnipauk. peace
which was rudely broken in that usually
quiet locality two weeks ago. again
reigns. The disturbance grew out of
the circumstances attending the clandes-
tine marriage of a young man with pro-
testant parents. and a young woman
with parents who were catholics. The
pair tried to keep their union secret but
could not. for the glrl‘s mother in some
round about way learned all about it.
When fully enlightened on the subject
she made up her mind that. while the
affair was an unfortunate one. she had
beat. on the whole. be reconciled wfacta
as she had found them. On second
thought she concluded that she could
never consider the mar-rigs binding un-
less a catholic priest performed the cere-
mony.and so informed the daughter.who
would not agree. as she had already been
well married by a protestant minister.
and was satisfied that the knot was firin-
ly and properly tied. A lively spat fol-
lowed and the bride was ordered toleave
the maternal roof which she did post
haste. Shortly after. the mothers of
these wayward children met to devise
means by which terms could be pre-
pared looking to an amicable adjust-
ment. but it developed into a cat scratch
cat encounter. the combatants separat-
