Town Clerk Sellcck.
It was fitting that on the eve of Town
Clerk SelleCk’s retirement from office, tlie
resolutions printed below should be passed,
as they were at the republican town
caucus WedneSday evening. He has giv-
en the town a long and satisfactory term
of service, and will retire with the good
Will of all. The resolutions were passed
as follows: -
WHEREAS, Henry K. Selleck, Esq., for
nearly a quarter of a century the able,
faithful and accomplished town clerk of
Norwalk, has declared his purpose to
retire from that ofiice at the close of his
present term, and has declined a rcnomi-
nation; therefore,
Resolved, That Mr. Selleck is justly en-
titled to the gratitude of the public, and
that this meeting only declares the senti-
ment of the whole people in tendering to
him.its thanks for his long and faithful
serVice. A A
They Are Not Frightened.
Says the Bridgeport Noun—The de-
cision of Judge Phelps of the superior
court in the case of Gerritt S. Scofield of
Greenwich, against the New York,
Bridgeport & Eastern Railroad 00., was on
a. purely technical point. It will be re-
membered that Col. H. W. R. Hoyt was
present at the hearings on the layout be-
fore the railroad commissioners and that
he raised the objection that the new com-
pany had adopted the line of the old
“Olmstead” parallel without having act-
ually made a new survey. The commis-
sioners decided that they has no right to
enquire into the alleged defects of organi-
zation outside of those appearing 0n the
face of the papers. As the papers seemed
to be regular they refused to dismiss the
application. 001. Hoyt then went into
court with an application in the nature of
a writ of quo—warranto, claiming that the
engineer’s report was not based on an
actual examination of the route, and' that
the organization had no valid existence as
a railway corporation. Judge Phelps’
decision sustains this claim.
ll. R. Parrott told a News reporter Sal.-
urday that the ofiicers of New York &
Eastern did not consider the decision as a
very serious thing. It was rendered on
purely technical grounds and an appca,
had been taken to the supreme court of
errors which will hear the arguments at
its Session in this City in three or four
weeks. Mr. Parrott takes the ground
that the decision is simply an attempt to
throw the burden of proof on the new
company.
Some Danbury History.
The Danbury News has just issued an
attractive little brochure giving historical
sketches of the town of Danbury and the
two chief sources of her fame, her pride
and her prosperity, the Danbury News and
the Danbury Fair. The sketch of Dan—
bury begins with the candid acknowledge-
ment that the town is simply aNorwalk
colony. Says the‘conscientious histor-
ian :——
In 1685 a company set out from the set-
tlement of Norwalk, on the shore of Long
Island sound, to found a colony way off
in the wilderness, north of Norwalk.
They were the people who established
Danbury, now the chief hat manufactur»
ing city in the United States. There were
eight families of them, How they got
here is not exactly known, but presum—
ably there was an Indian trail which they
followed. When they reached the locality
which is now Danbury they 'came to a
halt and determined to settle.
And as the story proceeds it develops
the gratifying assurance that these Nor-
walkers have succeeded in building up
quite a populous neighborhood up there
in the woods, which has now several
stores, a post ofiice, two or three taverns,
a barber shop, a boot-black, a place to get
a drink, and other conveniences of mod-
ern civilization, and has established
reasonable means of communication with
the outside world. There is one essential
item about the first settlement of Danbury,
however, which the historian omits in his
I concise sketch, and which, for his benefit
and for the edification of Norwalk’s des-
cendants up in the country, we supply.
The town of Norwalk was becoming so
crowded that these adventurous pioneers
wanted more elbow room. Accordingly
they organized themselves into a band of
emigrants and started out to seek new
fields. 0n the advice of a citizen named
Berry they headed north. Their journey
was beset with many dangers, discomforts
and discouragements. The wilderness grew
denser and the country rougher as they
went. Dissensions arose in the ranks;
some demanded that the expedition relin-
quish its object and return to the comforts
and clams of Norwalk. They were pur.
shaded, however, to continue a little far-
ther. The outlook grew no better as they
advanced, and at last, on arriving at a
most desolate and dreary spot the dissent-
ers called a halt and protested with ve-
hcmcnce and effect, against going any
farther, arguing that, as the God-forsaken
country kept getting more and more so, it
would be idiocy and. destruction to pro-
ceed. A consultation of war was held,
and the leaders, acknowledging the dos-
perate situation, asked who it was that
had directed them to pursue that course.
Somebody replied that it was a man
named Berry. Then with one accord the
hardy company lifted up their voices and
emphatically responded, “Dam Berry 1"
The sentiment was so universal, as was
also the conviction that they had gone far
enough, that they unpacked their vallses,
pitched their tents—and stayed there.
And during the following days . of their
hardships and tribulations," when they
reflected upon their misfortunes and
thought of the man who was the cause of
it all. they grated their teethvin silent rag'e
how the town name to be where it is, and
that's how she got her name.

Sunday when day which large num-
bers improVed to. attend divine service,
and all the churches werefillcd. The,
pastors seemed impressed by the situation
and preached first class sermons. In the
morning, Rev. Mr. Ferguson at Memorial
church, gave some wholesome points in
regard to the meaning and significance of
local politics and the need of pursuing a
course with affairs which should tend to
reflect most glory upon the church.
The car house and stables of the horse
railway on Riverside avenue appear in a

The starch works will be in full opera—

There was some very successful snipe

Next Wednesday at 4 p. m., in Memor-
ial church, the marriage of Miss Lillian
A., daughter of Mr. Arthur Sherwood,
and Dr. J. C. Newkirk-thc popular dentist
of Norwalk, will be solemnized by the
Rev. C. E. Ferguson. The announcements
are made by card. There will doubtless
be a large attendance.
The lease of the famous Compo Mill
and pond, known as Sherwood Mill pond
where the finest oysters on the Sound
grow, by Mr. Eugene G. Blacktord, of
Fulton Market, N. Y., for ten years from
September,23d, shows that‘adroit business
men' see the advantage to be gained in the
control of a property as valuable as any of
its kind in this state. Mr. Blackbord by
this stroke of policy will secure the entire
product of this pond for his noted place,
and it will not be long doubtless, before
his customers find“ themselves in favor as
having the opportunity frequently to get
good dinners. The property is owned by
Mr. Frank Fellows of New Haven, for-
merly of this place, and a short time ago
he introduced a new turbine water wheel
to take the place of the 01d undershot ar-
rangement, and put in a first class grist
mill the' whole entailing considerable ex-
pense. The charter for this mill granted
by the legislature many years ago, provided
that a mill must be maintained on the
premises, and for that reason, Mr.Fellows
took the action described. Mr. D. C.
Sanford, a civil engineer, late of the State
Shell Fish commission is in charge as Mr.
Blackford’s right hand man. He is an
expert in oyster culture and will have ful
charge. He resides on the place, and will
in addition to his other duties conduct the
mill. It should be stated that Mr. Henry
Sherwood, who, forzmanyjyears, and until
recently was in charge of this mill, has
now nothing whatsoever to do with it.

The people of the M. E. church of
which Rev. H. S. Still is pastor hold a
lunch box festival this (Tuesday) evening,
in the church basement to help swell the
fund for a new pipe organ. The idea is
for ladies to put their names in a box con-
taining lunch for two. A gentleman
comes along, buys the box, sees the name
of the lady with whom his fate is tempor-
arily allied, seeks her out. and with her
cats the contents. ,Much amusement is
said to be the outgrowth of it.
There is no law governing the good
conduct of a load of hay. Mr. G. S.
Adams found this so last week Wednesday
as he was crossing the village bridge. On
the draw his wagon wheels succumbed to
the weight over them, and the whole busi-
ness was dumped upon the horse car
tracks, hindering the passage of cars for
two or three hours.
The remains of Horace G. Hyatt, who

BETHEL.
Lewis Roland, of Colorado, came to
town last week with a drove 0f 56 horses
from his ranch,which he offered for sale at
prices ranging from $40 to $80. He sold
about half his drove to Bethel parties and
took the rest to Newtown. The horses
are good looking animals, considering
their complicated and plcbeian line of
ancestry, being a mixture of mustang,
Hambletonian, grizzly bear and buffalo,
and they have attracted considerable at-
tention from the local horsemen.
Treat Solley, not content with patiently
waiting for the fish to wiggle down
through the water pipes, went fishing in
the reservmr a few days ago. Unfortun—
ately he got caught at it, which is against
the statutes for such cases made and pro-
vided, and his mess cost him $5, the lone
fisherman being allowed to settle, thanks
to leniency 0f the court. '
A society event was the marriage of Mr.
Howard Crofut and Miss Elsie, daughter
of Mr. Elliot Smith, which took place in
the Methodist church Thursday last, Rev.
F. G. Howell tying the knot. The attend-
ance was large. During the ceremony
the trimming rooms of the neighboring
hat shops were almost deserted, the nim-
ble fingered occupants having turned out
to see how the bride acted. and how her
dress set. The bridal gifts were numerous
and valuable.
Charles E. Squires, the job printer, will
soon move his outfit to a room in Rich-
mond Bros.’ hat sh0p and will increase his
facilities. One of these days Bethel will
have another newspaper, and this time it
will succeed, for Squires will, manage it,
and his thorough acquaintance with the
field and the people, his popularity, ex-
perience, qualifications and aptitude for
judicious discrimination constitute an
admirable equipment to enable him to
conduct it to success.
