WESTPORT: A Sunday in June whether clear or overcast is always pleasant. The latter condition prevailed last Sunday, and all the churches were Well filled. In the Congregational church Rev. Mr. Backus preached, Rev. Mr. Ferguson held two services, Rev. Father Carroll said mass to alarge assemblage, Rev. Mr. Still spoke eloquently in the Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Davies preached twice at Greens Farms, Rev. Mr. Mevis at Saugatuck had many listeners. There were two services at Christ church. The Stratford Granite company have erected in Willow Brook cemetery a fine slab of Chester granite to the memory of the late Captain Peter Bulkeley. Near his house on Evergreen avenue, Mr. J. Q. Adams has several monstrous Norway pines, one of which stands more than 60 feet high. The trunk of one tree has three shoots of fully 50 feet, and not six inches difference in their heighth. A great transformation is going on west of the depot at Saugatuck. The Consol- idated road, employing a steam gravel shovel and from 50 to 75 Italians is mak- ingit. When completed the filled tract on the north will embrace fully two acres, while that on the south will be nearly as much. As the work advances trees and houses disappear. The article in the GAZETTE last week about the scramble for the village post office naming four candidates, has awak- ened the Westporter editor, who, not to be outdone, comes before its readers in its last issue with twenty-five names, Mr. J. H. Robinson at the head and J. S. Rich- ards at the close, and offers a paraphrase on one of Dr. Watts’ hymns to show that each of the 25 is anxious for the place. Mr. McKenna, the marbleman, is very busy. Last Thursday he put up three memorials in Christ church cemetery, and has a number in the works for other local cemeteries. The census enumerators have been very successful, and will this week be able to send complete reports to Supervisor Mc- Carthy, in New Haven. The three ofli- cials being tongue-tied, so to speak, key- hole ideas only of the result can be had, and from these it is guessed the town numbers a trifle less than 4,000. Report says Mr. E. M. Lees is improving in health at Saratoga Springs. Mr. F. H. Nash has bees which swarmed three times last week, and were captured in three different trees. They have now settled down to business. The piano pupils of Miss Lulu Sturges, who have done good work in music here for many years, will give their annual musicale at National Hall, Friday evening. The programme is ample-and doubtless there will be a company in attendance as large, as it will be handsomely entertained Mr. John M. Pinkney, of New.York‘! formerly of this village, wife and family, are summering at Greens Farms, near the Phipps place. The annual school meeting of the West Long Lots district was held last evening, (Tuesday). Miss Marion Nichols, who is visiting Miss Hattie F. Nash, on King street, will return to her home in Montclair, this ' week. The ladies of Assumption church will hold an ice cream and strawberry festival in National Hall, Saturday and Monday evenings. There was a mowing match on the farm of W. H. Bradley, in Coleytown, Monday- Tuesday' morning Morris E. Allen and Henry Ndsh found near: Cedar Point the body of a man which had floated in from the Sound, and is supposed to have been in the water at least two months. The flesh had disappeared from the hands and face, and the under jaw was gone. The man was aged about 35 years. measured 6 feet and had on a suit of dark diagonal clothes. In the pockets were $2.16 in money, and on the shirt were the initials “F. F. S.,” but nothing by which the unfortunate man could be identified. Medical Examiner Dr. Frederick Powers gave his certificate of death from acci- dental drowning. It is believed the man ell from some passing vessel. The re- mains were buried the same day in King street cemetery. It is learned that the Sickness in Dr. Fyfe’s family, reported as the result of poisoned food, was really caused by well water which they had used, and wicli was tainted by a cess-pool on the Doctor’s premises. The sick ones are recovering. The Land and Improvement company have sold their big brick factory near the village which has cost them about $24,000 to the Atlantic Starch company, of Brook- lyn, for $14,000. New machinery will be introduced and with a force of 40 men the manufacture of laundry starch will be carried on. It is rumored the Iprovement company will divide this sum among the stockholders pro rata and go out of bus- iness. James Stewart, aged 11 years, who loved to be a truant more than he loved hi books, was sent to the State Reform School last week. At the annual meeting of the West Saugatuck district, Frederick Morehouse was chosen committee, 0. I. Jones treas- urer, and W, E. Nash clerk. The Board of Trade last Thursday voted to relinquish the Western Union Telegraph station in the Bank building. They also passed resolutions 'upon the death of Joseph N. Snif‘fen. It was also voted to place the road from the hotel to the rail- road depot in first class order. Dr. G. J',‘ Underwood, Dr. L T. Day and D. A. Salmon are the committee intrusted with a supervision of the work.

The exchequer indicates the presence of enough silver to weigh one hundred dollars. Edward F. Ayres has rented his resi~ dence, furnished, on Seminary street, to New York parties, for the summer. _Mr. Richardson, of the First Baptist church, Stamford, preached in our Baptist church, Sunday afternoon. The Young Peoples Society of the Congregational church, gave an excellent entertainment conSisting of readings, rec- itations and music, last Thursday evening. Nearly a hundred were present. Miss Bennett and Mr. Hatch played the piano, Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Hoyt and Miss Sophie Nolfel sang, Miss May Benedict, Miss Sadie Brown, Nelson Silliman, Mr. Gaid- ner and Mr. Martin recited, and a charm- ing piano duett was rendered by Miss Marion Benedict and Miss Ruscoe. The selectmen are now widening East avenue in front of the property of George F. Johnson and Burtis and Mead. When finished and a nice broad sidewalk laid, it will be a more popular thoroughfare than ever. With the booming of Independence guns it is rumored at least one New Canaan lady will enter into the state of matrimony. Children’s Day services will be held in the Congregational church next Sunday afternoon. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah L. Cratiford, one of our oldest residents, was attended at the Episcopal church, last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Hugh Auchincloss, of the firm of H. & J. Auchincloss, agents in this coun- try for J. 8; P. Coats spool cotton, has been an invalid for some years. He spent last season in New Canaan and returned again about a month ago.

His remains were taken to New York, Thursday evening, and the funeral services were held in New York Friday morning. . Our New Canaan ball club is getting into fine trim. A new ground on South avenue has been marked out, and before oysters come again some other clubs in Fairfield countyWill find they need all the science they have and a little more. The town has been giving the tax payers the Dickens for the past year, thinking they had enjoyed bliss enough; and everybody likes it so well that they are going to have a year more of it.

An exchange says, “We think it high time that this thing of branding a'girl as ruined. because she has made a single mistake, is ended. This Christian world allows any young man to redeem himself and become something even after he has committed blunder after blunder, and has deliberately sinned again and again, but a girl who has made one single mistake of the heart is ruined and literally banished forever. This is not right—not as it should be—not as it will be when we become true followers of the great and good teacher, Jesus Christ. A girl should be given the same opportunities to outlive a sin com- mitted by her. as her stronger brother has, and until she has these opportunities granted, she cannot be recognized as the equal of her brother. Why the girl, who is the weaker of the two should be ruined and branded as such for a lifetime for having committed asingle mistake; while her brother, who is strong and well able to take care of himself, should be forgiven and taken up by society, is something we cannot understand. We think if some of our preachers, teachers and parents would, for the time being, give the heathen in distand lands a rest, and devote some of their spare time to the thousands of alleg- ed ruined girls in our cities; teach these girls that there is a future worth living for, show them how to live right and give them the necessary encouragement to do something, that society would be the bet- ter for it and our confidence in each other far stronger than it is at present. Any man who has committed a sin and has out- lived that sin, yet is willing to brand and condemn a woman for having committed the same sin, is a coward and a curlot’ the meanest type. This is plain talk, but it is gospel truth.” *— Pretty Little Bottles. The Meriden Journal thus tersely puts the matter of the “original package” de- cision :— » It has become known that the “original package” decision has proved a great boon to the glass bottle manufacturers. Just now they are busy filling orders for hun- dreds of thousands of pretty little bottles, each of the capacity of a gill. They will be filled with whiskey or gin, or some other intoxicating beverage, popular in prohibition states like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Kansas or Iowa. They will then be sealed up an-l sent to those states in the “original packages,” to wit, the little bottles just mentioned. Great hurry is exhibited by the wholesale liquor dealers iii getting these original packages shipped to their destination, for the reason that they fear the passage of a law countervailing the decision of the United States Supreme Court, so as to permit states to enforce a prohibition law if they have one. Such a law has already passed the United States Senate, and it is expected that the House will pass it with- in a short time. tseems that all these original packages which get into a prohibition state before the enactment of this new law are salable there. The new law can only apply to ,importations of original packages after its passage. Hence the activity of the whole- sale liqnor dealer's elsewhere and the anxi- ety of the retail dealers in the prohibition states. It is safe to say that by the time the new law.is passed by Congress and signed by the President most of the liquor dealers in the prohibition states will have been supplied with the largest stocks of liquors which money or credit. or both, can buy, and it will be a long time before the supply of original packages in these states will be exhausted, drink the thirsty never so steadily.
