The way that be dis. covered he had been doing so was from the fact that he would arise in the morn- ing completely exhausted and would find his bare feet covered sometimes with mud.

M. C. A., vs. Norwalk Unknowns, Fair grounds Friday morning, Sept. 21 at 10.30.______ The sad, sudden news of the death of the Rev. ,8. J. M. Mcrwm, of New Haven, was received Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Mcrwin, for many years astor of the Con- grcrational Church in ilton, has been acting pastor for the Congregational Church in Georgetown since January 1883. He was much loved by his parishioners and honored and respected by all who knew him. His gentle refinement, while entitling to position among the elite, did not prevent his earnest sympathy with the lowliést in his flock, and many can testify to his material aid as well as spiritual con- solution. Surely he is entitled. to the wel- come, “ Well done, good and faithful ser- vant." We who knew him best, mourn him most. No newspaper man in the country is able to write more intelligently about newspapers than Z. L. White, whose ini- tials so long gave weight to the Washing- ton dcspatclics to the New York Tribune ; . and more than usual interest, therefore, attaches to his article on “Western jour- nalism,” which appears in Harper’s Maga- zine for October. . It is not only a historiw cal sketch-of the principal journals of the West and their editors, but it is a sum—- mary of their reputations and a fair esti— mate of their influence, political, moral, and literary. Portraits are given of twen- ty-sevcn of the leading editors of tthest, showing a set of men of marked energy, intelligence and ability. Postmaster llarrity of Philadelphia has done a good thing in refusing to rent a box to anyone who fails to give his true name and place of residence, and has adopted the further rule of asking all applicants for letters at the general delivery where they live and telling them that the letters will be delivered forthwith by the carrier of the route. By thus doing, of course the inquirer is forced either to drop an im- proper correspondencc or, by ' giving the correct address, to reveal it‘to his or her friends. It ‘is to bc/fnncicd that the re- ported indignation which Postmaster Har- rity’s action has aroused is the utterance mainly of those whose evil designs are 'lllllS thwarted. While Isaac Boliton’s team was stand- ing on Railroad Square on Thursday even- ing, the horses suddenly took fright, and Mr. Bouton and his daughter, who were in the wagon, wore violently thrown to the ground. The horses run across the track, upsetting the wagon, and up .Main street. Hunt «Sr. chuff’s wagon happened to stand in front of Baxter’s driig store and the runaway tcam dashcdiuto it pcll mcll. There was a wild and picturesque commingling of wheels, horses and over- turned wagons, for a moment before the bystanders secured the runaway. The shaft of Mr. chuff’s wagon was shattered, but no other damage was done. Miss Boutou had meanwhile been taken to Mahackcmo Hotel in an unconscious condition, but soon recovered consciousness, apparently more frightened than hurt. Messrs. W. 13.

This shows ‘ that they have been reading truths and not falsehoods.

A lodge with such men in it will as— a suredly thrive. ' , The attempt of democratic sympathi- zers with Bailey, the prohibition .howler (for pay), to refute the statement made in this column, that the said Bailey left town without paying his tent rent, is a failure. H. A. 0 den, a truthful and responsible man an a good republican, says Bailey did go off without paying the$2.00 agreed on, and that he chased the crowd for set— isfaction without getting it. If Bailey has since been shamed into adjusing the mat- ter, he should have credit, but such ad- justment does not change the original po- sition, or weaken the general opinion that the platform in this prohibition (?) tent, wherever it is pitched, supports a gang of political “ snides.” It was a good scheme for the Pioneer H. & L. boys_to turn out with Compo No. 2, Mondoyhnight of last week for a street pa- rade. e auling of the latter’s new hose cart from the shop where it' had been dec- orated. to the engine house, gave opportu- nity for a first rate display. ‘ The scene when all were in motion with lanterns,and‘ houses illuminated everywhere on the line . of march was pleasant, and tho-thought was induced that Westport has in fact a force adequate to tackle any fire which may occur in town. By many the new Compo was seen for the first time, and while she looked as though there was' not much to her, (her machinery was so compact), she is, in fact, one of the smartest engines of her class. With public water, like Nor- walk, she would lnore than demonstrate. this. After the parade there was an im- promptu collation in Sturges’ Hall, pre- pared by the ladies. .

At the age ,of 15 the each went to sea, taking vessels in New ark-and ship lug before the mast. This was in 1825‘. rom Mr. Horace Sta- ples, who is authority for points in local history and which always prove correct, it is learned that each of the brothers began as again of a vessel built in Westport, then ugatuck. Captain Franklin sailed in the 80 ton schooner built on the bank of San tuck river Opposite where Mr. B. A. Wil isms now lives. He afterwards took the brig Carolina, also built here, and en- gagcd in the Charleston trade.

Clark, who also'took charge of this dc-v partmcnt during the fair. Colors blended as they should, the drapings were beauti- ful and the effect of the whole display was very fine, and some idea of its varied char- acter can be found from the fact that one lady said she came twenty times to see it and saw something ncwrevery. time.

On Wednesday last the town was startled by the and intelligence that the Rev. S. J. M. Merwin has died suddenly at. his home in New Haven Mr. Merwin visited the White Mountains and while there suffered from a bilious attack, but was able tc return i to New Haven, and the physician predicted an early and complete recovery. The im- mediate cause of his death was failure of the heart’s action. The Rev. Samuel J. M. Merwin was the son of the Rev. Samuel Mcrwin, who was pastor of the Wilton Con- gregi tioual church from 188238, and was born in New Haven in 1819. His prepara- tory studies were pursued at the Wilton Academy and he graduated at Yale in 1839‘ after which he taught in Manchester, Vt. He studied theology at Andovcr and New Haven, graduating from the latter institu- tion in 1844. His pastorates were South- port 1844-59; South Hadley Falls 1860-68 ; Wilton 1868-80, and acting pastorate at Georgetown 1883 until the time of his death. During Mr. Merwin’s pastorate in Wilton he built a handsome residence, which he occupied until his removal to New Haven. The funeral took place at New Haven on Friday last, the services being conducted by the Rev. Dr. Manger, whose church Mr. the Rev. Dr. Seward imparted a commem- orative character to the services at the Con— gr'egational church. Mr. Merwin during life disliked notoriety, and would thank no one now for words of eulogy, but his purity of life, evangelical spiriy, interest in the cause of temperance, private benefactions, and a deep and abiding attachment to fami- ly, kindred and friends need no words of proof or explanation. -————--<.>—-———- .REDDING.
