NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAYVNOVEMBER 13, 1889.

WESTPORZZ _

The latest freak of burglars was that of
forcing an entrance to the Congregaticnul

church at Greens Farms and carrying off
the choir organ. The impression is that
they were not professionals, and that their
residence is not many miles from the
church, and that a necessity to get a little
money without legitimate labor, impelled
the act. After the organ was found to
have disappeared a movementwas made to
recover it, and by afortunate circumstance
the police of Bridgeport found the instru-
ment had been sold by a stranger to a well
known dealer on Main street, that city, for
$13. The original cost was $150. The
organ is again in the church and was used
Sunday at the services. A reward of $75,
offered by the church committee for the
arrest and conviction of the thieves is
still in force.

There is a disposition to revive the pro-
ject of building a new town house. As
will be remembered it was voted at a
special town meeting to build, and that
vote has never been reversed. The last
meeting to consider the subject was ad-
journed by the chairman under the mis-
apprehension of the meaning of motions
to do a half dozen or more things at the
same time, and had no bearing on the
main question. It is doubtful if a motion
to rescind could now be carried.

Mr. and Mrs. James R. Jesup have gone
to Ridgewood, N. J., to spend the winter.

The new dwelling on Wright street for
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wood has assumed
form, and promises to be one of the most
elegant on Golden Hill. The occupants
will have in front a row of large trees
without waiting for them to grow.

Frederick Kcmper is to introduce anew
system of tile pipes to the low ground
which is to receive the Sherwood dwelling
purchased by him. This system will serve
not only to benefit Mr. Kemper, but all
the property owners from the Mansion
house to the residence of M. W. Wilson.

William J. Adams, aged 21 years, son
of Aaron Burr‘Adums of Coleytowu, who
died Thursday, was buried Sunday in
Christ church cemetery.

It is reported that three persons associ—
ated with a church fight growing out of a
choir disturbance in one of the churches
in Southport, have been hung in effigy.

The M. E. church’s ninth harvest festi-
val which closed Friday evening, netted

nearly $300.
The Board of Trade have voted to give’

Greens Farms four street lamps, provided
the citizens of that place will keep them
lighted. The Adams Express 00., was
thanked by vote for introducing the free
delivery system.

Mr. James B. I’effers having bought at
auction of the Congregational church the
building familiarly known as the “Acad-

 

amy,” will remove and devote it to other
purposes. Mr. Pcffers paid $90 for the
structure. It has cost the church in law-
suits, and repairs within 15 years, more
than twelve times that amount. The
“Academy” was erected probably more
than 100 years ago, by parties interested
in education, and who felt that special
work in that direction called for special
facilities. There was a sort of stock com-
pany back of it. When the fact is con-
sidered that such persons as Governor-
Bissell of Nor-walk, Isaac Toucey of Hart-
ford, Bcach Starr of Daubury and Miss
Eunice Seelcy of Eastern taught under its
roof and had for their pupils the children
of the best people in Fairficld county, and
finally, Miss Mary Leavenworth, than
whom there was none more accomplished
and efficient, we are entitled to speak of
the building as a relic the value of which
cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.
Ante-dating the church by a full half cen-
tury, and still in fair condition, it is a
wonder to many that the society failed to
see and appreciate its real worth, [and
cause it to be utilized for some of their
own good purposes. .

At the morning service in Trinity church
Sunday, a goodly congregation assembled
to hear Rev. A. N. Lewis’ sermon. It
was his last as rector of the church, as he
retires from the parish on Friday. In the
pulpit Mr. Lewis spoke from a timely
topic, and from the reading desk gave a
review of the work of nearly 15 years
performed by him. He stated the situa-
tion in which he found the church at his
advent, and how it stood on the eve of his
departure. There was no scene, and no
attempt to exhibit the real feelings which
must have arisen within him on such an
occasion. Turning to the altar at the
close, he uttered the usual ascription as
though nothing unusual was connected
with it, the choir chanting “amen," and
most. impressively as it seemed after the
benediction, chanting the Nunc Dimittz’s
“Now lettest Thou Thy Servant depart in
peace, according to Thy word, etc.” file
not known what- the future movements of
Mr. Lewis will be.

Some fifteen or twenty ladies and gen-
tlcmcn of the EpiSCOpol church including
both rectors attended the annual meeting
of the Woman’s Auxilliary in Bridgeport,
Thursday. They report having been
royally entertained at lunch by the
churches there.

It is observed that Mr. E. H. Nash has
provided a gate to which there is no pad-
lock, aud through the means of which
pedestrians may pass over Church hill,
the same as they have been doing for 50

or more years. This being the case. and.

there being no evident intention to take
advantage of the public, the threat of call.
log out the commissioners is withdrawn,
provided Mr. Nash leaves the aforesaid
gate as it were, ajar. Otherwise; why
otherwise.

Mr. W. E. Sturges will soon occupy the
elegant dwelling now building for him by
Smith Bros., near Memorial church. _

The genial face of Mrs. R. C. M. Page,

 

who is now in town, makes us all wish
she would, as she used to, be a regular
rcsndcnt here.

If the man or men who committed the
recent burglaries in churches andhouses
could be photographed, copies would sell
for a large amount, and much larger sums
would be paid for the privilege of looking
at the originals.

Charles Theron Raymond, who died
this Monday morning, aged 37 years, 10
months and 9 days, of typhoid fever, was
a son of Charles A. Raymond and grand-
son of Alfred Raymond, all of this place.
He was a young man this town could ill
afford to lose, being the principal man-
ager and draughtsman of the firm of
Johnson & Raymond, carriage builders.
Honest, courteous, talented, he was also
town treasurer, a burgcss of the new Bor-
ough, vestryman of St. Mark’s church, a
member of the Odd Fellows, Firc Com-
pauy, A BC Literary society, in all of
which his capabilities made him promi-
nent. In business a good business man,
in the church a good churchmen, and a
faithful, honest town officer. Among
men a good man, with the boys a lively
and jolly boy. As a Citizen beyond re-
proach, and a good pattern for any young
to grow by. His loss to this community
is not simply the loss of one of its citizens,
but the loss of a life whose example was
continually for good. He leaves a widow
and two children.-

The borough is about to introduce po-
lice regulations, which with the private
watch kept up by the citizens will make
this village as well protected as any town.
The gutters of the Main street are to be
paved.

The monument of the Grangcrs, in the
shape of hay scales is no ornament to
Main street.

A wedding in Millport and another on
the tapis.

Mr. L. Fabricotti and family returned to
the city on Monday and will be greatly
missed in the village.

Bun‘tisdzMead are adding to their :11-
rcady large store to accommodate their
growing business.

“Spy Brown," the village pet, died of
old age on Sunday, was buried on Mon-
day, and now in the happy hunting
grounds of the beyond will no more run
home when the gun is fired at the game
he could so well find and point.

Selectman Purdy is enrolling for milita-
ry duty, and the question, “How old are
you ?” is being asked of almost everybody
Mr. Hopkins will occupy his pulpit,
next Sunday. It is expected that he will
reach home on Wednesday or Thursday.
Every mechanic in town, in fact every
laboring man also, is busy. The profes-
sional loafer is lonely. While there is no
boom, things are moving.

The election news of the past week
seemed to please everybody. The Repubs
because it was no worse, the Dome be-
cause it was so good. The Prohibs be-
cause they are alive still.

There has been more cider made in this
town than before in many years. For
vinegar, of course. Ten barrels in the
yard of the Post Office building, Where
everybody can help themselves. Straws
furnished.

00mstock Bros. are represented almost
daily here, either by “Steve” on his bicy-
clc or Will Benedict with his fine team,
drawing supplies or leaving orders with
H. B. Rogers & 00., the largest clothing
manufacturers in Fairfield county if not
in the state.

Quite a number of Masons visited Nor-
walk on Thursday evening last, and re-
port a good time. St.John’s, of Norwalk,
always could entertain, and outdid them-
selves on this occasion.

WILTON
Maurice Buttery, while repairing a
chimney on the house of Mrs. Hatfield,
fell from the roof, dislocating his shoulder
and sustaining several other injuries.
The work on the new South Norwalk
reservoir is progressing rapidly, and
promises, when completed, to be one of
the most picturesque sheets of water in
this part of the state.
On last Thursday evening a pleasant
surprise was given at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Herman Van Hooscar, of Hurl-
butt street, in honor of their son Clinton’s
twenty-first birthday.
A large number of people were asscm-
bled on November lst, to witness the for-
mal installation of the new pastor of the
Congregational church. The ceremonies
were impressive and interesting. A col-
lation was served in the chapel.
The phenomena] appearance of fruit
trees in blossom at this season‘of the year
is quite a common occurrence here. Mrs.
F. Brady picked a crab-apple blossom on
the seventh of No vembcr.
The new furnace of St. Matthew’s
church, put in by the Filly Manufacturing
company, is very satisfactory.
Mr. Josiah Gilbert is recovering from a

severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism.

BEDDING.

The horse of Mrs. Irad Carter, for which
she paid $55 in the spring, has Idied after
a sickness of several weeks.

The Sherman turnpike has been re-
opened and put in fine condition by the
commissioners of the Putnam Camp
Ground at an expense of $160 to the
town. This pike runs on the east side of
the ground and being connected with a
road built by Bethel, affords a fine drive
from Bedding to Bethel.

Rev. W. J. Jennings attended, last
week, at the South Church in New Brit-
ain, the meetings of the directors of the
Missionary Society of Connecticut, and of
the General Conference of the Congrega-
tional churches of the state.

 

 

 

The Destiny of Lower California.

A project which has sometimes been
mooted and which involves the vamsitiou
of new territory by the United States. is
likely to come up again for consideration,
and this time, perhaps, under more favor-
able circumstances than ever before. It is
the acquisition from Mexico of the penin-
sula of LOWer California.

The Senate committee on irrigation, in
investigating the subject as it applies to Cal-
ifornia, found, at the extreme south of that
state, a tract of' bottom land, fertile in the
nature of its soil as the Nile Delta, but
practically worthless unless irrigated. The
extent of the tract is some millions of acres,
a considerable portion of which is in Mexico.

This body of land could be watered at lit-
tle expense, and would then yield tropical
fruitsof every kind in profusion. Plenty of
water is available near by. To send it flew-
ing through this fertile valley, it needs only
that a canal be cut to tap the Colorado
river.

But the only practical point at which this
can be done is across the Mexico line, and it
is not to be expected that Mexico would
even if she could, dig that canal merely for
our benefit. On the other hand, our Gov-
ernment, even if the difficulty in the way of
spending money on an engineering work,
lying partly in foreign territory could be
surmounted, would hesitate in a case where
lialfthe resulting advantage from such an
expenditure would accure to another coun-
try.

There would seem, then, to be nothing
for it but to purchase the peninsula. The
narrow strip of land in Lower California is
of little value to Mexico. It is separated
from the rest of that country by the gulf,
while i'. adjoins our territory, and is natu-
rally tributary to it. Mexico might, in the
circumstances, be induced to sell.

If this purchase was made it would have
the effect of giving our coast line on the
Pacific :1 natural termination, just as the
purchase of Florida completed our Atlantic
coast line. Another probable eflect would
be a creation of a new State on the Pacific,
which might embrace, along with the newly-
acquired territory, that portion of Califor-
nia south of the dividing mountain range—41
portion which Califiornia can easily spare,
her present territory being equal to all New
England, New York, and Pennsylvania put
together.

The problem of irrigation is coming to
the front as the great western question.
Upon its successful solution, doubtless, the
rise of great populous, self-sustaining States
depends. ‘ That our waste places should dis-
appear. is not only in the interest of com‘
merce but of general civilization. Sanguine
minds on the Pacific expect a report from
the committee showing the complete feasi-
bility of irrigation, and they will be dis-
appointed if it does not favor a scheme for
Southern Califiornia that will virtually in-
volve the acguisitiou of the lower pen-

insulu.

The New Discovery.
You have heard your friends and neigh-
bors talking about it. You may yourself
be one of the many who know from per-
sonal experience just how good a thing it
is. If you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunch friends, because the won-
derful thing about it is, that when once
given a trial, Dr. King’s New Discovery
ever after holds a place in the house. If
you have never used it and should be af-
flictcd with a cough, cold or any throat,
lung or chest trouble, secure a bottle at
once and give it a fair trial. It is guaran-
teed every lime, or money refunded.
Trial bottles free at H. R. Hale’s drug
