Mr. and Mrs. John Patterson have re-
urned from Shelter Island, and the points
east which they have been visiting.
Mr. Arthur Rockwell bought a mustang
at the recent sale. He tied it to a tree
partially to break it but the animal had
never had so much as a string upon him,
" and in trying to get away broke its neck.
Mr. Norbert Bossa reports a pleasant
time in Canada where he recently spent an
enjoyable vacation.
Mrs. Fanchcr is meeting with most en-
couraging success in her new school. She
now has twenty-one regular scholars.
The Rev. Mr. Hoyt, of Bedford, sup-
plieg, afternoons, the pulpit of the Presby-
terian church in Pound Ridge, where Mr.
Patterson preached for over fifty years,
but being away Mr. Hopkins preached in
his place making for himself three services
last Sunday.
A petition for an additional justice of
the peace is being circulated. Not be-
cause we are growing bad, but only one
trial justice sometimes occasions inconve-
nicncc.
Some very wise ones (P) scoffed at th
law and order society organized here
h‘ree years ago nearly, but if ball playinge
on Sunday, and drunkenness, and pur-
chasing liquor out of town for distribu—
tion here, 650., does not cease here, some
may think such an organization worthy of
being born again.
Last year a number of large barn fires
were attributed to spontaneous combus-
tion as the result of hay being stored while
damp. Much hay must have been stored
this season in that condition, but we have
not heard of any fires. Perhaps sponta-
neous combustion is in jail.
At the joint meeting of the sclectmen
and school visitors, Monday evening, the
acting school visitor, Mr. Charles E. Hall,
made his annual report, showing our
schools to be in a very fair condition.
On Thursday evening a musical event
of considerable interest will occur in St.-
Mark’s church. The organist of Grace
church, New York, will give an organ rc—
cital, and will be assisted by Miss Hubbell
the well known. soprano of Grace church
choir. Admission fifty cents. Proceeds
for the chancel restoration fund.
There was an excellent attendance at
laymond Hall, last Thursday evening, to
hear Rev. F.E. Hopkins’ plea for the con-
stitutional amendment and local option.
It is expected that Rev. W. W. Clark of
Danbury, will speak in behalf of the con—
stitutional amendment, in this town, in a
few days.
Many farmers are busily engaged storing
ensilage for winter use. The process is
simple, and the fodder by some is believed
o be excellent. It not properly fed, how—
ever, it gives an unpleasant flavor to milk
and even butter.
Dr. W. G. Brownson’s rgcent sugges-
tion of roads made from crushed stones,
if only carried out now would be a great
comfort all over the town. Owing to re-
cent rains many of our roads are in as bad x
a condition as when spring mud prevails.
For the second time this season, owing
to the humidity of the atmosphere, the
organ in the Congregational church has
been rendered unfit for use on a recent
Sabbath. The new organ in the Episco-
pal church was also affected.
Two weeks ago Dr. Willard Parker pub-
ished a letter in the Messenger giving as
reasons why more “city people” did not
i ome to New Canaan in the summer sea-
on. That our people were sometimes dis-
? ourtcous in not allowing persons to pass
hem when driving the same way on the
ame road. That butchers charged city
people more for their meat than natives.
I hat in his case a neighbor’s fowls had
Teen allowed to scratch and ruin a ter-
ace, and that there is lacking sufficient
Icublic spirit. The doctor’s letter has
roused a good deal of controversy, our
eople generally pleading “not guilty”
0 the charges, and two columns of replies
i2 re in last week’s Messenger.
A petition for the privilege of voting for
cense has been circulated and signed by
, number of our people. Although the
own has gone dry for several years by a
andsomc majority the friends of the sa-
‘non have not grown weary. This move
ill cost the enemies of the saloon a little
.oney, and time, and labor, but. those
110 do the right never get tired of doing

Mr. Joseph Marvin is at the State Nor-

During the week Mrs. Charles Fable
visited her sister Carrie, who is at the
Retreat in Middletown. She found her
in health not materially improved.
Mrs. Charles Fable has an apple tree
and Mrs. F. H. Nash a bell pear tree upon
which blossoms now appear. Both trees
were attacked by worms in July and every
leaf thereon was shorn. During the late
protracted wet weather leaves came out
anew, the buds, and, finally, the blos.
soms. The pear tree is 125 years old.
The special town meeting held in Stur-
ges’ hall, Monday, 15th, was an unusually
large one. It was called by the Selectmen
0n the petition of many citizens, to con-
sider the proposition to appropriate for a
new town house. The discussion brought
out prominently the idea that not only
was such a structure needed, but that
there existed a sentiment strongly in favor
of meeting one at once, and that it should
be of a character creditable to the town.
It was indeed voted to build a town house,
and that in connection with and incorpo-
rated in it there be a memorial in the form
of a tablet or otherwise upon which should
be cut the name of every man who en-
listed from the town and took part in the
late war who died in the service or who
had since died. The three Selectmen
with G. B. Bradley, J. H. Jennings,
Charles Buck and T. E. King were ap-
pointed a committc on sites, plans and
prices and to report. Next Monday there
will be an adjourned meeting at whi'rgi
timc'the report of this committc will be
heard. Since the meeting was held hall
sorts of rumors have been heard as to
what will, and what will not be done in
the premises. The friends of the project
feel sure they can secure a vote for an
appropriation. They argue that thee??-
struction of a building will be in the line
of economy—that we are now paying out
annually for rent of town oflices over
$400, and that this sum paying the in—
terest on $10,000 borrowed with which to
iiild, will, in fact, give usthe town house
practically without cost, as the sinking
fund principle will make the extinguish-
mcnt of the sum invested easy. It is
reported that Mr. Horace Staples, in
order to secure the towu house on the
west side of the river, his side, will donate
asite. Quite a number of sites on the
east side are brought forward with What
the owners call low figures. Nearly all
have buildings on them. The struggle to
secure the prize will be strong between
the sections. A sort of go-betwecn ele-
ment favors the manufacture of a site in
the middle of the river adjoining the
bridge. Their plan has many friends.
Finally, there is an element which, it is
said will Cl'Op out largely at the forth-
coming meeting. ’l‘hey will address the
chair in language embodying these ideas :
“The towu is in debt $60,000. Never
can pay it. New building will demand a
janitor. Got to be steam heated and will
bea bill of expense all the time. The
town offices are well enough as they are.
We’ve got along 54 years without a town
house, and we can do it another half cen-
tury. This scheme springs from a ring
which expects to make some money in
some way through the contracts and the
taxpayers will have to foot the bills. We
don’t wantit. The save of $400 a year
for office rent will be knocked into a
cooked hat by the increased expense
which the new order of things will entail.
We were badly stung by the war debt,
two bridges at Saugatuck, the infernal
elephant of a bridge at the village centre,
and right on top of the latter we’ve had to
put up a costly iron draw and make our
debt larger. Taxes are big enough now.
We must curtail. Best thing we can do
is to drive the tap right in on this town
house. Mr. Moderator, we move to
adjourn “sine die.” Whether this sent-
iment can be got in or not, and if it can
be entertained and carry weight remains
to be seen. As things stand to-day there
will be little trouble in voting a reason-
able appropriation .
Mr. and Mrs. William J. Wood have
commenced to dig the cellar foranew
and elegant dwelling. It is near the cen-
tre of a large plot on Wright street, owned
by Mrs. Wood’s grandfather, Mr. Andrew
C. Nash. The structure to rise upon it
will contain 9 or 10 rooms of large size,
and will be substantial and ornamental.
The work of building will commence
with the completion of the foundations.
The architects and builders are Messrs.
George B. and Oscar Smith of Saugatuck.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood’s movement is to be
commended as exactly what other young
townspeople ought, and have been ad-
vised to do, i. e., make their permanent
home here instead of going into other
towns to do the same thing.
Mr. Munson Perry, of Cross Highway
district, who was-prostrated about a week
ago with paralysis, died Saturday from
the effects of it, aged about 75 years.
Mr. Perry had been a life long resident of
Westport, an enterprising, upright, cit-
izen, and had a large circle of friends
who will mourn his departure.
The schooner Golden Rule, Captain
Ball, of Bridgeport, last week brought to
the Saugatuck Iron Works from Perth
Amboy, 100 tons of pig iron. The entire
cargo was landed between two tides.
Mrs. Morris Wakeman, accompanied by
Miss Florence Bradley, left on Monday for
Portland, Oregon, via Northern Pacific
railway.
The funeral of John Dunn who died of
asthma, Wednesday last, in the Bridge-
port hospital, aged 55 years, took place
Thursday, from the residence of his sis-
ter, Mrs. Flynn, on Compo street, and the
burial in the Catholic cemetery.

Ex-Secretary of the State Board of Edn-
cation B. G. Northrop has been engaged
by the Board of Trade to deliver his lec-
ture on “Village Improvements” at Na-
tional hall, on Thursday evening of this
week. There will be no charge of admis-
sion. There should be a large attendance.
Druggist Cannon has succeeded in cap-
turing over fifty subscribers at 25 cents to
the fine traveling bag presented to the
Board of Trade by Mr. John D. Wood.
As the proceeds are to be used in improv-
ing the walks between the village and
Willow Brook cemetery, the amount
should be quadrupled.
The Cedar Point Yacht club propose to

now seeking to secure a site.
Mr. W. R. Macready says the spray

flowers in beds which he had set along
the sea wall erected by him in front of his
premises at Hill’s Point.
The death of Edmund W. Taylor who
has been ill at his residence on Wright
street since last autumn, took place Mon-
day morning. He was a native of the
town, and with the exception of a few
years early in life, had always resided in
it. During thirty or more years he car-
ried on the boot and shoe business in {the
her of the Congregational church contin-
uously since its organization about the
year 1831. He was a deacon at the time
of his death and always was an :activc
church worker and supporter. He was
president of the Westport Savings Bfl’
and for nearly thirty years had been a
director of the First National Bank. He
represented the town in the lower branch
of the Legislature in 1854.351n 1856 he
joined the republican party and thereafter
was prominently identified with it. In
1840 he cast a vote for William H: Harri-
son for president, and did the same for
the grandson in 1888. He leaves a wife,
his: third, three sons, a daughter, and
several grandchildren. The funeral will
be held this, Wednesday, afternoon at
3 o‘clock from the Congregational church,
and the burial will be in Evergreen ceme-
tcry.
News of the death foil Mary Francis
Nash, wife of Dr. George B. Bouton, at
Saratoga Springs, on Sunday last, was
received on Monday. :She waszthe eldest
daughter of Andrew C. Nash, and a sis-
ter of Daniel C. Nash, of Norwalk, and
aged 52 years. Mrs. Bouton had been ill
for many months. During the past three
or four years she and the Doctor made
the tourpf Europe. and also :visited the
chief citiergiiidlliis country [at the north.
or lilie‘lll‘eflii‘zr’d‘f'ééifiéfi “was; York,
making occasional visits to their former
home here. A few days ago they went to
Saratoga, in the belief that the waters
and the quiet now prevailing there, would
result in benefit. It proved :cthcrwise.
She was a devoted communicant of the
Episcopal church, and numbered many
genuine friends both at home and abroad,
by whom she will be fondly remembered
for her amiable manners and private
worth, and rare grace and purity of life
and :chai‘acter. The funeral will be at—
tended at Christ church on Thursday
afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. “PAUL.”

The steamboat City of Albany arrived
at the company’s dock on Sunday after-
noon. Whether she is to be laid up for
the winter or placed on the New York
route is not definitely known except by
her owners.
Mr. Charles Schuman, a hatter, has
proved himself a genius, having invented
and patented a new and what is said to be
a complete and efficient fire escape. The
chief of the New York fire department
has asked for the first privilege to exam-
ine the working model, which is now in
New York. Experts, who haVe seen it,
pronounce it a wonderful invention, and
have no doubt that there is money in it for
the inventor and patentee.
The new election law is making the
town officers no little trouble in finding a
proper place for the polls. It is feared by
n'iany that should the city and towu voting
places be far apart a large number will
not take the trouble to vote at both
places.
Men are sometimes unwise and incon-
sistent. We know of one man who, about
two years since, said: “ Temperance
organizations should be non-partizan. I
have no respect for thp methods of those
who organize temperance societies on
non—partizan principles and then prostitute
them to partisan purposes,” and yet he
has accepted the oflice of president of a
third party prohibition club.
Mr. Grant. of Five Mile River, one of
the vice-presidents of the Union Gospel
Temperance Reform Association, conduct-
ed the services at their rooms on Sunday
afternoon and was amply aided by those
present, making the meeting {one of the
most interesting and profitable of the
series. Thirty-three adults have signed
the temperance pledge since September 1,
and about the same number of children
have affixed their name to the children’s
pledge book. The meetings hereafter will
commence every Sunday at 3 p. m.

consumptive. Began taking Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, am now
