WESTPORT.
One night last week Mrs. Gershom
Perry had a large number of pleased
visitors at her home. The partial cause
of their pleasure was a night blooming
ccreus with eleven blossoms which they
witnessed come forth. On a previous
night the same plant displayed ten blos-
soms. It is the largest plant of the kind
here. Mrs. Perry also called attention to
her moon vine which has climbed from
the ground to the top ofgher dwelling and
which had upon it two fair ,white blos-
soms.
Village pastors were in their pulpits
Sunday, after their summer vacations.
Rev. A. N. Lewis at Memorial church,
Rev. Mr. Backus at. the Congregational,
Rev. Mr. Still at the Methodist and Rev.
Father Carroll at Assumption church.
Mr. John Gault has the contract for
grading Burr avenue.
Mr. A. T. Goodsell, who has removed
to Bridgeport, has rented his homestead
here to Mr. B. H. Toquet.
A Union Gospel Temperance meeting
was held Sunday evening in the Methodist
church, conducted by Rev. D. W. Holt, of
Boston.
Mr. John D. Wood who conducts one of
the largest manufacturing establishments
here, has presented to the Board of Trade
one of the finest traveling valises his best
men with the best material are capable of
making. It is proposed to sell the same
by ticket, 25 cents a ticket, and use the
proceeds for improving the sidewalks
leading from the village to Willow Brook
cemetery. In furtherence of this object
Druggist Cannon has consented to take
the satchel in charge and solicit people to
donate a quarter as they call at his store.
Already quite a sum in that way has been
realized, How much money will be need-
ed to mend the ways alluded to is not
known, but whether large or small this
scheme should be the medium of covering
it.
The town for a week has been, in a
measure, plethoric with weddings. There
is nothing which surprises so much as the
unexpected. A wedding is generally
looked forward to, but when the parties
carry their point steathily, the news relat—
ing to it, when made public, is seized with
vigor and commented on with greediness.
Thus, when, on Friday, it was made
known that Walter A. llowarth and Car-
oline A. Jones had been married, every-
body was on tip-toe to know when the
ceremony took place, and where, as no
signs of anything of that kind going on
had before cropped out. Judge of the
dismay of the gossips when told that the
date was June 5th, 1889, and New York
the place, and that the mother, sister and
immediate friends of the bride had been
all the time in blissful ignorance. Dr.
Frank Ger-ham, of Weston, and Miss
Carrie Coley, of Coleytown, pursued a far
different course. They bade their friends
to the bride’s father’s home, Horace B.
Coley, and the ceremony was performed
by Rev. H. S. Still. There was a recep-
tion and collation and a general happy
time, Dr. and Mrs. Gorham will reside in
Weston.
Wednesday evening Homer S. Beers, of
this place, and Miss Avis M. Haskins
were married by Rev. Mr. Still at the
home of the bride’s parents on the Nor-
walk road. A few friends of the parties
were present. Instead of going on a wed-
ding tour Mr. and Mrs. Beers came
straight to their new home on Wright
street and began keeping house.
The oceultation of the planet Jupiter
occurred Tuesday evening. It was a
beautiful sight and witnessed by many.
It was nothing more or less than a race
between Jupiter and the moon in which
the latter gave the former a time allow-
ance. For two or three hours the appar-
ently little but really much bigger orb had
the worst of it, but gained and at 9 min-
utes to 10 o’clock disappeared behind the
moon. The phenomena was never before,
and will not again, in this age, be seen.
The cry about street lamps not doing
good duty has not been heard so much
since the moon grew in size, as they have
not been lighted. Doubtless what has
been said will impel the exercise of greater
care in their handling when dark nights
return. - ‘
Mr. Lloyd Nash has prepared the foun-
dations for his new patent cider mill and
expects to have it erected and in operation
within a week. The mill is capable of
making 180 barrels of cider in one day.
Mrs. Francis Darrow and Mrs. James
Schaffer, of Brooklyn, are visiting in
town .
Compo Engine c0mpany held its mouth-
ly meeting Monday night. .
Mrs. R. C. M. Page is on her way home
from Europe.
Harbor blue-fish catching has occupied
more time during the week than trade or
local matters. The river has been daily
literally full of them, one man succeeding
in one day in capturing 280. Some of the
fish have size, but the average yields about
three good mouthfuls._
The Board of Trade, at its last meeting,
offered a reward of $10 for the apprehen-
sion of those who have been breaking the
globes to street lamps.
Saturday a petition was circulated and
upwards of 100 names obtained asking the
Selectmen to calla town meeting to con-
sider the advisability of building a new
Town House. The sentiment as develop-
ed is greatly in favor of the object. The
cost, as suggested, is to be anywhere
from $10,000 to $15,000, but under any
circumstances the building is to be sub-
stantial and ornamental. Plans drawn by
Mr. Charles Buck, an architect of New
York, call for a structure of brick and
stone, to contain rooms for town clerk,
judge of probate, selectmen and other
officers, and in the second story a grand
public hall to be used for all purposes the
town may require. The question of site
will, it is said, be an animated one. Noth-
ing on either side of the river being avail-
able without paying a great price, it is
proposed to make a site in the river, north
side of the bridge, midway between the
two shores, and put the Town House on
it. As there are a few rock ledges left
and any number of gravel hills in the
vicinity, it is believed a plot can be pre-
pared for less than half what one would
cost ashore. As to the expense the town
is paying annually for rents about $500,
and it is believed the borrowing of $10,-
000 or $15,000 at 4 per cent. for this pur-
pose, with a proper sinking fund, will be
in the line of economy. Westport has
scratched along 54 years with its offices
in dark corners and in uncertain and often
very inconvenient places, and now to vote
a change of the kind named will not sub-
ject the movers to the charge of entertain-
ing extravagant notions. It is further
suggested that the Town House be made
a memorial building containing a tablet
with the names of every man who took
part in the late war and was honorably
discharged cut upon it. Westport needs
its probate judge in the office every day
which is not the case now. At the first
state election after the building is done it
is further suggested that both parties in-
sist in their caucuses for probate judge on
selecting those residing in or near the vil-
lage. There is talent enough to choose
from, and we are entitled to the benefit of
it. Weston, which has something to say
about probate affairs in this district, has
expressed itself tired of chasing three or
four miles for a judge when it comes down
to the centre on business, and it is about
two thirds right.
Rev. Mr. Harvey whose death at the
age 74 years took place in East Haven
Saturday, August 31st, was a life long
friend of Mrs. Noah W. Bradley, of this
place, often visiting her home. He was a
brother-in—law of Edward Bissell, of Nor-
walk, a member of the New Haven His-
torical society, and had been for thirty
years pastor of the Congregational church
at East Haven previous to 1874, and in
that year preached the sermon there on
the occasion of the church’s one hun-
dredth anniversary. “PAUL.”

Mr. Theodore Quintard was probably
much surprised at the announcement pub-
lished in a local paper that “Mrs Theodore
Quintard and sister, and Miss May Smith,
had left for the White Mountains,” leaving
him out of the happy party.
Rev. Herbert S. Brown, a former resi-
dent of this city, preached two very ac-
ceptable sermons in the Congregational
church, last Sunday.
Now that a city park is contemplated:
and a committee appointed to recommend
a site, many persons are suggesting where
it ought to be. The majority favor the
Mathews grounds, only for the expense.
A large number favor the hill back of the
Messrs. Benedict and Disbrow residence’s.
The salt meadows, below the hat factories
being already occupied by mosqurtoes,
crabs and fleas, seems out of the question.
Though not announced by large pla—
cards, the meeting at the U. G. T. R. room
on Sunday was largely attended, every
seat being taken. Earnest talks and ap-
peals were made by those present, making
the exercises of unusual interest. At the
Friday night meeting, eleven persons,
mostly all young men, signed the pledge,
making the number 16 that have signed
since Sept. 1st.
