Mrs. Henshou possesses a rich and cultivated contralto voice, and as she has consented to sing in the chorr of the Con— gregational church, the musical part of the services have received a valuable con- tribution. Once there was an Indian and he built a canoe just as everybody told him he ought to build it, and the first time he launched himself in it on the waters of his native lake the thing sank. He fished it cut, put it up as an excuse for inquiring every. body’s wisdom, and built a. second craft which proved a grand success. Every- body in town is telling Mr. Nicholls how to build his Opera House, but he seems to know his own mind, and will not repeat the Indian’s folly. Thursday midnight was made hideous by the tooting of horns, ringing of bells, beating of drums, screeching of whistles, explosion of fire crackers, &c., &c. It was the music of a multitude of boys and young men, ushering in the day we celebrate, the Glorious Fourth. Mr. Westerfield and family, of Harlem, N.

Mr. Charles Benedict, 20f the firm of Benedict & Lockwood, who has just re— turned from a business trip in Ohio and Michigan, confirms the reports of the recent terrible heat in the west. He was at Columbus during one of the frightful thunder storms that city experienced, and felt the need of a lightning rod on every hair. His train was delayed fifteen hours by washouts. - He reports crops as splen— did and business very good. One of Mr. G. L. Dann’s valuable Jersey cows was killed at Talmadgc hill last week, by being struck on the railroad. Mr. Carey, station agent at Stamford, will spend the summer with his family in our beautiful town._ The chocolate klasch held on' the lawn at Lindenfield, Mr. O. E. Bright’s resi— dence, under the direction of the Chil— dren’s Guide, of the Episcopal church, was so much of a success that a profit 0f two hundred and fifty dollars was realized besides the expectations of a pleasant social event which all possessed. Mr. Edward Rutledge has been suffering from a lung disease for nearly two years. Throughout his protracted illness he en— joyed the sympathy of a host of friends to whom he had endeared himself by his afiability of manner and unfailing kindness during a long residence in this place. Sunday morning the 29th, ult., the news - of his death was received with something of ashock. He was in his forty—ninth year, and leaves a wife, a son, and a daughter. His funeral services were held in St. Mark’s church, Tuesday afternoon, and were attended in a body by Wooster Lodge, 1. O. O. F., and a large congrega— tion of friends and relatives. In his death the town loses a valuable and highly respected citizen. Passengers on the 8.20 train received quite a shaking up Wednesday morning. The locomotive left the track at the Grove street crossing a short distance below the depot, owing to some defect in the flange on the wheels of the truck. Afterburying the large drivers in the soft ground the train came to a sudden stand-still, and the passengers climbed out, waiting three hours, although in half an hour after the accident a train came up from Stamford, which it would seem might have been placed at the disposal of those who had engagements in New York to meet. But the mind of the Consolidated don’t think of these little things. The lawn party of the Congregational church will be held on July 24th, afternoon and evening, and will amply repay anyone for a drive from Norwalk or from a great many miles further away. No church in “HS county has nicer lawn parties than the Congregational church of New Canaan_ Carlton Brownson sails for Europe to— day. Wednesday, to be gone probably two years.

Hollingsworth and wife, after about a month’s sojourn in Europe, returned last Saturday. Peter Mead, esq., raised a flag pole, bought fireworks, had all his neighbors on hand, and boomed the cventonthc Fourth. There was a fine Pyrotechnic display on Carter street on the evening of the Fourth, for which Mr. Hoyt’s full house were responsible. The New Canaan ball club played an unusually good game of bull last Friday ; and the Sylvans of Stamford knew how to play, but someone ought to teach them to do less talking, shouting and swearing and act the put of gentlemen. In the ninth inning the New Canaan boys were one run ahead, and had two men on bases. Kelly was at the but and the pitcher of the Sylvans hit him with the ball. Kelly, of course, took his base. The Stamford club yelled fraud. Then they put on their coals and left the field. On, It wasamcan trick and a contemptible sneak. In a woi‘d the Sylvans disgraced themselves and reflected discredit upon the town they came from. There is to be a meeting of the town this week, to consider Mr. G. D. Nicholl’s proposition to hire to the town a large room in his new Opera House for a select— men’s office and court room, a portion of the basement for a cell, and the large auditorium for town meetings, 6:0. He only asks three hundred dbllars. The selectmcn’s office is now on the basement of the library building, is damp, and it is said the Records in the vault are moulding badly. The jail resembles the cell of a Russian prison and is dark and dirty, and the building where town meetings are held is as bad as the most of anything of the kind in the county. And for these accommodations (‘2) the town pays one hundred and seventy—five dollars of good and lawful money. Mrs. Brownson, Mrs. Ayres and Mrs. Brown are anticipating with pleasure an excursion or sojourn in the Cattskills. The Rev. Mr. Wyckoif and wife have visited a few days with Mrs. Wyckoif‘s sister, Mrs. Pardee, but have now gone to Woodbury, in Litchfield county. When McCann tore out his electric lighting apparatus from Mt.

The Board of School Visitors will hold an examination of candidates for teachers on Wednesday, July 23, at 1.30 p. m. Captain John F. Bulkelcy says he shall haul off his schooner for the summer after discharging his present cargo of coal for Hubbell & Bradley. The new engine for the Saugatuck Manufacturing company was not in posi— t10n on Monday, and the men who had been idle a week were not called to work until Tuesday. The executive committee of Staples’ High School have received a number of applications for the position of Principal, made vacant by the resignation of Mr. T. C. Stearnes, who goes to New Iork in September, but it is believed Mr. G. H. Marsh, of Lynn, llIass.,~Harvard ’88, will be selected. Dr. John W. Fyfc desires to say that no competent authority has as yet made an analysis of the water in the well on his premises at Saugatuck which poisoned himself and family some weeks ago. Christ; church parsonage on Church street has been rented by a gentleman connected with the new starch manufac— turing company. The frame for the new Card Board Manufactory on Riverside avenue has been raised. Mrs. Dr. W. H. Eno gave a germau at her elegant place Tuesday, 8th. The German given one daylast week by Mrs. Landon Kctchum was spoken of as one of the most enjoyable of the kind ever occurring in town. There were many guests from New York. Eleven of them passed the night at Hotel Stanley. Miss Charlotte Jesup is passing the summer with Mrs. Deborah Bradley. The Pioneer’s picnic in Evergreen Grove J-uly Fourth is said to have been not only a pleasant affair, but resulted in swelling the treasury fund. The boys were awake early on the Fourth. Some of them doubtless had been up all the previous night getting ready for business. They got into only one church, the Congregational, and they just made the bell in the tower ring a national salute. How they got in is as much of a mystery as the way a vote was passed in 1845 allowing a brass band to march into the same church to do their part 1n celebrating the great day in that year. All other bells were silent. The people generally secured to have settled in their minds that the best way to observe the great holiday was by keeping still. There were no casualties though about a ton of fire crachers and other pyrotechnics were set off. The day was varied by a rowing race, the winning craft being the Julia, 18 feet, owned by Alex. S. Dowues. The course was from the village bridge to and around Wright island and return—one mile. The contestants were Mr. Downes and August Wickce. The former won the prize of 8510. There were plenty of fireworks set off by citizens in the evening. There will be a yacht race off Cedar Point July 22. Much interest centersju the event. Sunday was a perfect day, and every church in town was well filled. Rev. Mr. Ferguson at Memorial church, Rev. Mr. Still at the Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Backus at the Congregational, Rev. Father Carroll at Assumption, Rev. Mr. Davies at Greens Farms and Rev. Mr. Mevis at Saugatuck had instructive sermons. At Christ church Rev. Mr. Hyde preached in the morning on a subject suggestive of quiet thoughts, but in hrs treatment of it wrought himself .up to a sort of frenzy, cutting the air in the region of the chancel all to pieces with his gesticulations. Some of those who had listened, when asked what it was about were unable to state. Mrs. Walter T. Marvin, of New York, is stopping with her famrlyat the Hezekiah Smith place, at Saugatuck. “PAUL.” Our Bridgeport Letter. The George Hotel in Black Rock was opened on the 25th, of June, and is now nearly full of guests who are prominent lpeoplc. Among them are Gen. Anderson and! family of New York, Mrs. Wm. A. Pond, Judge O’Brien, Mrs. D. L. Sherman and others. silas W. Field and wife, who were on their way to New Haven to attend the Yale commencement exercises, stopped there over night. Mr. George Wells is the proprietor and Mr. Fred Harral the manager, Mr. Wells has re- cently bought the Merwin Hotel in Fair field and made extensive improvements under the name of:The Saint Marc. Mr. Wells has been before the public for many years and is deservedly popular, Mr. Harral is a young man of excellent char— acter and fine executive ability, and is well qualified for his position. The Rev. Beverly E. Warner, rector of Christ church, in his sermon last Sunday morning defined clearly in plain language the true position of the Protestant Episco- pal church towards the extreme ritualistic element, and distinctly said to his people that he did not sympathise with any movement in that direction that came in contact with the regular canons of the church. A controlling interest in the People’s Steamboat 00., has been purchased by N. W. Anthony of New York, a coal mer- chant. It is surmised that Mr. Anthony represents the old Bridgeport Steamboat Co. If this should prove to be a fact, there will be but one line of steamers running from this city to New York. The death of Mrs. Wm. T. MacFarlane of this city from cancer on the brain, which occurred on Tuesday last, was received with sincere regret by her many friends. Mrs. MacFarlane was 34 years of age, and leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss. She was a general favorite among a large circle of friends, an earnest christian worker, and a member of Park street church. Her funeral was largely attended from her late residence, No. 77 Barnum avenue, on Thursday afternoon. Her pastor, Rev. Dr. Hovey officiated. The floral tributes from friends were very beautiful, and the services solemn and impressive. Mr. and Mrs. Eli C. Smith made a very interesting and elaborate report, a week ago last Sunday evening, of\the recent Christian Endeavor mectmg held in St. Louis. Mr. and Mr. Smith are both deep- ly interested in church work, Mrs. Smith being president of the junior society of the North Church, school was married on June 26, to Miss Julia Doolittle, (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Doolittle, Rev. H. A. Davenport of the First Presbyterian church officiated. The net receipts of the Kirmess were $3,500, which will help to swell the funds of‘the associated charities. Hon. P. T. Barnum celebrated his 80th birthday on July 5, at Sea Side Park pavilion by giving his employees, some 200, an elaborate dinner. Mr. Barnum was accompanied by Mrs. Barnum, and as they entered the pavilion every one arose and received 'them wrth loud ap- plause. After the dinner was over Mr. Barnum in a very feeling manner, said to them, “some of you have been in: my service for over thirty years, and it seems as though everyone of you are members of my family, and I cannot find words to express to you my feelings on this occa- sion, for I am reminded of this my 80th birthday, that in the natural course of things I cannot expect many more such gatherings as this.” In conclusion he gave them some good and practical advice about the care of their earnings, to be temperate, industrious and economical in their habits and mode of living and to be true men in every sense of the word. Mr. Barnum is much beloved by his employ- ees. Mr. Chas. R. Brothwcll, who has been in Mr. Baruum’s cmployabout thirty years, spoke in behalf of the employees, and heartily thanked Mr. Barnum for his kind words and generous treatment. Special mention should here be made of Mr. liugh Brady who has been Mr. Bar- hums faithful coachman for over twenty- five years. Mr. Brady does not draw checks and deeds, as Mcssrs.Brothwell and Bowser do. but he draws the reins and draws them safely too. He has never met with an accident. The fruits of the Mills revival meetings were made manifest yesterday by large additions to many of our churches. Ninety members were admitted to the South Congregational church ; twenty at the First Baptist church; twenty—six to the West End Congregational church; twelve to the East Bridgeport Advent church; twelve to the North church; thirty—four Park Street church; twelve Fairlield Avenue Methodist church ; four- tecn Olivet church ; six to the Washington Park Iii.
