Mr. Charles Hall and family enjoyed a
few days last week at Bell Issland.
Representatives from an Electric light-
ing company in New York, were in town
on the 18th, looking over the borough and
‘ consulting with our burgesses as to the
expense Of illuminating us.
Mr. H. B. Rogers’ sou, Charlie, narrow-
’ 1y escaped a serious injury from a cut
with ‘a scythe in the hands of another boy
last week. As it is, he will be laid up a
week yet, the cut being just below the
knee on the front of his right leg.
Mr. John Bliss is building a broad and
substantial wall about his premises at the
corner of Railroad avenue and West ave-
nue, upon which he has recently complet-
ed one of the handsomest residences in
town.
Fifteen loaded cars was New Canaan’s
consignment of freight received in one
day last week. Rutledge had to hustle to
find a place for the cars.
Dr. Rockwell, one of the best known
medical electricians practicing in New
York city, spent Sabbath :1. week ago with
Mr. Albert Comstock. Mrs. Rockwell
was with him. The Doctor is a native of
this town.
Mr. H. A. Pinney has returned from
the White Mountains, whither he went
~ with his family a few weeks since. Mrs.
Pinney and daughter remain in the de-
lightful New Hampshire region and Mr.
Pinney expects to rejoin them in a few
days.
Miss Mabel Raymond is at Bell Island,
also Miss May Benedict, and other New
Canaan young ladies.
It is estimated that on Sunday before
ast fully eight hundred people attended
church at the services held in the morn-
ing. It is probable that fully two hundred
more were in the Sabbath schools the
same morning, which makes more than a
third of the population not yet so far lib-
eralized as to violate the fourth command-
ment.
“If New Canaan ever has local option
again she will have to fight for it.” Such
was the recent threat of .one who favors
license. Well, the temperance people
‘know how to fight, and they are ready to
“Lay on, MacDufl.” 6:0.
The Sunday Schools of the Congrega-
tional and Episcopal churches enjoyed a
picnic at Roton Point last Wednesday.
The morning was very warm but in the
afternoon there was a fine breeze. It is
not as pleasant a place as it used to be for
children. The swings have needed oilall
summer, but the proprietors allow them
to squeak on unmcrcifully. There is no .
merry-go-round, but little grass, and the
ground is full of roots and stones. It
would seem that a place having so many
natural advantages, should be improved.
But perhaps Sunday Schools are not
wanted. ' ,
A number of ladies and gentlemen met
‘ at Mr. Albert Comstock’s last Tuesday
evening and discussed the advisability of
organizing an historical society. The dis-
cussion resulted in the appointment of
Mr. C. R. Abbot, Rev. F. E. Hopkins,
Mr. Albert Comstock. Mrs. Albert Com-
stock, and Mrs. C. H. Demerritt, a com-
mittee on permanent organization.
Stephen Hoyt’s Sons have extended a

tcrprising concern will popularize and of
'i which they have eighty vines now hear-

i Johnson Raymond & Co. are making
:‘8 some fine light driving wagons of a pecu-
liar spotted wood. The appearance of
the wood is like a finely grained article,
i I only much superior to anything a painter
' could do. The tree was found by acci-
I~ dent on Mr. Charles Cornstock’s farm, and
i any gentleman who would like to have a
: wagon unlike any but a very few in the
country had better examine the specimens
of this wood,on exhibition at the firm’s
manufactory.
The Rev. Mr. Burns, one of Brooklyn’s
' popular Methodist ministers, was in town
last Tuesday.
The Episcopal church is expecting a
new and handsome altar.
Next week the schools in town through-
out the eleven districts will Open, having
teachers in charge who promise to do effi-
cient work. Some of the buildings have
been repaired or improved during the va-
cation, and the scholars will find them
more inviting. It costs about five thous-
and, fivc hundred dollars a year to main—
1 tain the system of public education [in
New Canaan. Whether the best results
are realized under the present arrange-
I ment, which is the district plan, is a ques-
k tion upon which the town is divided. Cer-
‘ ainly money enough is annually expended
i to insure the most perfect, thorough and
I modern work.

WESTPORZ!
To-day the Sunday School of the Con-
gregational church and ”friends, will go to
Dnrlon’s Point in carriages for a picnic.
They had arranged to go to High Rock
grove, but the day they appointed was
stormy, and hence this arrangement.
Some sort of insect has stung all the
Bartlet pears grown [in this vicinity, and
it is next to impossible to get a perfect
specimen of the fruit. Not only that, the
fruit is falling before maturity.
The town is doing a good work in the
highway near the Catholic church by
blasting out the rocks and carting them
away, the idea being to drain the street at
that point which for years, in Spring, has
been a mud bed.
There is no change for the better in the
condition of Deacon E. W. Taylor.
A large number of the members 0
Company E, 17th regiment, C. V., will
attend the association reunion at Newton}
to-day.
Err-President Patrick Murphy (312) is
actively engaged getting promises from
heavy weights everywhere to attend the
annual clam bake of the Fat Men’s Asso-
ciation, at Seaside Park, Bridgeport, to-
morrow.
Mr. Andrew C. Nash has commenced
his annual visitations to aged people in
this vicinity. On Friday last he called on
Mrs. Morris Ketchum, at Saugatuck, who
is in her 86‘year.
Mr. H. H. Belden has returned from a
visit to Long Branch, where he rested
several days from active business, heard
the ocean roll, and paid high prices for
dinners.
Editor Jones, in the Weatportar, speaks
seriously of the Syphon principle suggest-
ed in this column as a good method for
bringing water from Nash’s mill pond into
the village. Mr. Jones, please take notice?
That item was intended as a joke.
Mr. Theodore Taylor has been building
around Church hill, to‘ the order of its
owner, Mr. E. H. Nash, a fine picket
fence.
Dr. L. T. Day has in a corner of his
garden, ripe raspberries on a stalk of
1889 growth—a rare curiosity.
Miss Hattie Marvin is at Weymouth,
Mass.
Saturday, the Norwalk Reserves came
over here and whipped the Westports at
base ball. Score 10 to 9.
Burr avenue is to be graded. The se-
lectmen call for bids to be handed in by
Aug. 31.
' There are fears of rot among potatoes.
Miss Annie Bradley has executed a
number of tiles, artistically, for the fire-
place of a well known New York gentle-
man’s residence.
Messrs. Howard Staples of this place
and L. Farini of Bridgeport, who have
been camping on Caukeen’s Island for ten
days, left there Wednesday last, having
had. as they assert, a glorious time. The
day before they broke camp some evil
minded person out a dozen or more holes
in the company’s siene as it lay on the
sand, nearly or quite destroying it. The
act is charged to fishermen who, having
read the stories of great fish caught in
that net, were jealous, and took that
method of showing what they thought of
it. The net was worth $50 and it will
cost $20 to repair it.
Rev. Axelander Hamilton, of Norwalk,
officiated at Christ church, last Sunday.
A party of twenty-five went Wednesday
to Cedar Point for a picnic. employing
teams owned by Mr. Lloyd Nash. They
had a splendid time.
The Golden Hill Recreation club held
their first annual picnic on Tuesday of
this week in Aunt Phoebe’s woods near
Stony Brook. There was a clam roast.
The burial of Rufus D. Cable, whose
sudden death was briefly alluded to last
week, took place on Wednesday last from
Christ church. Rev. James E. Cooley,
an old schoolmate, and Rev. Mr. Hamil-
ton performed the religious rites, all of
which were said at the church. At the
grave in Christ church cemetery the
full Masonic ritual was performed by ~ W.
M., Oscar Smith, and Chaplain, Rev. H.
S. Still. Deceased had formerly been
master of Temple Lodge. He was a
native of the town. After leaving school,
about the year 1850, he went to sea, and
made sevaral whaling voyages to the
Pacific, visiting many of the important
ports Of the world. .He was well posted
on all that pertains to the water, and his
tales of the sea, notably St. Helena, Gi-
braltar and the islands of the Pacific were
full of interest. Mr. Cable was unpre-
tending in manner, and, although never
'specially seeking public ofiEice, had acted
as collector for the town, and in the capa-
city of sheriff’s deputy. He was 57 years
old, and leaves a wife and three daugh-
ters, one of whom is married and residing
in Bridgeport. The paul bearers were J.
S. G. Cannon. W. L. Coley, D. B. Brad-
ley, David Bulkley, Charles Harris and
W. H. Petrie.
Burglars were again in town early
Thursday morning, and, although not
professionals, were skillful enough to
force entrance to two stores and not get
caught. They passed into D. A. Sal'-
mon’s store through a scuttle in the roof
ascending by a ladder taken from a neigh-
-bor. The village has a night watchman
but he was unaware of the performance.
The first report that $100 in value was
taken has dwindled to $5, and is repre-
sented by a fancy woolen shirt and a hat.
Mr. Salmon went home the night before
leaving the door of his safe ajar, and the
visitors seeing it concluded there was no
use rumaging and left it intact. Fact is
there was $55 in bills and about $10 in
specie in the safe. Our merchants are
thinking seriously of leaving their safes
open nights is a means of protection.
President Horace Staples said, comment-
ing on this occurrence, “The ordinary
safe is not safe, and if you want to make
sure of your valuables don’t put ’em in it.
Burglars go the first thing for a safe, etc.”
Salmon’s escape from loss was narrow.
Same night the same parties passed ihto
Frank'N. Taylor’s store through a rear
window which was open, getting there by
means Of a ladder. Taylor was in his
bed but was not awakened. They took
the drawer from its place under the coun-
ter and abstracted some $10. They also
took a silver watch which was in the
drawer. Mr. Taylor found the drawer
Friday in the cellar, and that fact caused
him to think about the watch which he
had missed but had forgotten where he
had placed it. He is unable to state the
amount of goods the rascals took.
The Methodist Sunday School went to
Parlor Rock Friday. “PAUL.”

attended the prohibition meeting on Sunday

ject, none but paid 3d party speakers have
been heard there.
Razors must be going out of date. A large
placard at one of the barber shops announc-
es “shaving with bay rum, 100.”
Aquotation from the Rev. Mr. Delano’s
address at Crescent Beach was made by a
speaker at the meeting Of the W. G. T. re.
form association on Sunday, viz z—“The sa-
loons are after the young men, mt after the
aged.” And the answer given was, “Then
let us rally now to interest them in the
cause of temperance, persuade them to sign
the pledge, and not wait 10 or 20 years for
prohibition laws.”
