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.

aunt, Mrs. A. S. Comstock. She is only

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. During a portion of the time he
will study Greek in Athens. When he
returns we shall bear again the music of
the language Anacrcon spoke, and the
golden syllables of Sappho, Alcaeus, and
Tyrtaeus will live once more.

“What fools we mortals be."

Mr. W. T. P. 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. St. Vincent
hotel in New York, after the Park Com-
missioners had thrown him out of the
place, the plant was bought for our new
Opera House, where it will blaze with all
the briliancy added to its substantial
associations.

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

himself and family some weeks ago.

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. E. church. The morning prayer
meeting which was inaugurated during
the Mills meetings is well supported.
