WESTPORIZ
On Tuesday of last week, Mr. Lloyd
Nash made 1,506 gallons of cider at his
mill, and up to that date had turned out
over 12,000 gallons. '
By law their may be one registrar of
voters elected by each party, of course,
without regard to the number of votes
cast for each. Owen RiCe was the nom—
inee on the regular democratic ticket
voted last election day, and although W,
T Wood ran on the citizens’ ticket receiv—
ing one vote more than Mr. Rice. he was
not elected though it was announced that
he had been. Mr. Rice takes the prize,
he having been on the regular ticket.
Reports of casualties during the late
thunder storm continue to come in. Two
milch cows in one field and owned by Mr.
Charles Mills were struck by lightning and
killed, as is supposed by two separate
bolts.
The annual Harvest Festival of the Vil-
lage M. E. church began last evening and
will continue to—uight. The lecture room
where it is held is elegantly decorated
with fruits, vegetables, cereals, flowers and
autumn leaves being combined to form a
spectacle of great beauty.
The work on the highways now in pro-
gress under the direction of the selectmen
is one which does them credit ; indeed it
would not have been begun but for their
suggestion and tax payers are expressing
thanks and a hearty approval. In all the
districts where there are roads leading
towards the Village, men with carts have
been busy for a week or ten days raking
and picking up lose cobbles and removing
them. The result is the roads are ' left in
V much better state then if plowing and
scraping Were done. The selectmen say
fall plowing on roads is bad business and
no more of it will be done till spring.
The democratic convention having
failed on account of the deadlock de-
scribed in the GAZETTE, in making a nom-
ination for-Judge of Probate, and being
aware that they could not have a name
for that office printed on their ballots, few
of those desirous of saving the office for
their party, (which shows conclusively
that there is politics even in choosing a
judge of this kind,) met in Sturges Hall
last Friday evening. The meeting or con,
vention had not been called as the law
specifies, nor was Weston let in to the
business. They were so anxious to have
some that, despite the irregularities
alluded to they went ahead and placed in
nomination Silas B. Sherwood for judge,
and they will have the name printed on an
“independent” democratic ballot to be
offered to sutfragists next Tuesday for
them to swallow and vote. ' Weston is
already kicking because of the action and
while its democratic delegates want J udgc
Sherwood, they are manifesting a disposi-
tion to be a little cautious about voting the
independent, fearing that it the Judge
shall get a majority there may be a con—
test to snow the choice was made illegally.
The situation for “the other side” is sad,
but they ha“: a way out by cashing their
support for a man who is onaregular
ticket regularly nominated Rufus Wake-
man, Esq., second selectmau.
The Harvest Festival of the Congrega-
tioual church was held Sunday evening.
There was an address by Rev, Mr.
Backus, singing and recitations by the
Sunday school and a very large attend-
ance. Mr. Backus is very popular with
its people.
Nearly $50 was realized by the apron
and necktie festival given by the Young
Ladies’ Guild of Christ church, last Wed-
nesday evening. Considering that it was
gotten up almost impromptu, the result is
gratifying. 7
Some idea of how Main street and
Riverside avenue will look after the grad-
ing up to a level of the horse railroad
tracks has been completed, may be had at
the corner in front of Mr. G. A. Darrow’s
store. The plan is to carry the whole line
to the depot just like it.
The ladies made a great success of their
“Good Tidings" festival at the M. E.
church Sunday night. The annual har-
vest festival of the church opened Tues-
day night; (last night) and will continue
to—night.
Miss Hattie F. Nash is visiting in
Huntington. . '
Next Saturday afternoon there will be a
regular monthly meeting of the Historical
Society. on which occasion a paper on a
pleasant local subject written by Presi-
dent'Horace Staples of the First National
bank, will be read. . ,
The difference between the Misses

On Thursday of last week, about now,
Mr. Samuel Comstock whose residence on
Smiths’ Ridge, near the state line, went to
his barn and fed his horses, "and then re—
turned to his house for dinner. He had I
been at the table only a few minutes when
smoke was noticed blowing past the win-
dow. Mr. Comstock hastened to his barn
but it was too late to do anything but res-
cue the horses. Aided by. the neighbors,
after a stubborn fight all the afternoon, the
adjacent buildings and the residence were
saved, but the barn with its-entire contents
fifty bushels of oats was destroyed. It
was one of the oldest barns in the _town,
having been erected in 1761. Fortunately
the ten head of stock which at night
would all have been in the building were
out of doors and the carriages, and agri-
cultural implements were elsewhere. ‘
An accident on the New Canaan road
delayed the New York commuters a week
ago last Monday. The axle on the engine
of the six a. m. train broke, near Spring-
dale, and one of the driving rods thrashed
about and finally came up through the
‘ cab, but neither engineer Sarles nor his fire-
man nor any of the passengers were at all
injured. but it was a close call.
Miss Bright gave a very pleasant party
Friday last to the members Of the Guild of
St. Mark’s church. . This is a young peoi-
ples’ society in which Miss Bright has
taken great interest and it is a very valu~
able auxilary in the work of the church.
The hospitality of “Lindenfield” made
merry the hearts Of many who gathered
notwithstanding the inclemcncy of the
weather.
Mr. H. 0. Taylor is the lowest bidder
for the contract to work the roads of the
town during the ensuing year. He will
do the work in nearly all of the districts,
He is a capable man, and one who will
take pride in sustaining the reputation of
this town for its good thoroughfares. “
It is thought that the new Opera House
will be opened for the first time in about
a mouth. '
At the neXt session of the general as—
sembly the New Canaan Historical society
will apply for a charter.
1‘: Car rle May Seeley, and Miss Agnes
Patterson had birthday parties last week.
The young misses enjoyed themselves
with quite a large company of their little
friends. , Bountiful collatious were served
and a number of useful presents were re-
ceived.
Mr. Hallam of Stamford could not or.
ganize a class in singing last Friday even
ing, owmg to the storm, but the proposals
Seem to be meeting with favor, and on
Friday evening of this week he will meet
all who wish to receive instruction.
Dr. W. G. Browuson has been enjoying
during the past fortnight.
Thelllessengcr of last week nominates
for representative, Dr. W. G. Brownson,
republican, and Mr. S. H. Raymond,
democrat. Whether the republican caucus
which meets this week will follow brother
Kirk's suggestion remains to be seen, but
the nominations are excellent, and either
man would faithfully and efficiently repre.
sent his town and serve the state.
License wrll go into effect on Saturday.
There will be no need then of gorug out of
town for drinks.
One of our most prominent husmess
men remarked the other day : “I hear
that something very good is coming to
New Canaan. She has touched the bottom:
.of the valley and is now on the rise.’
What the something very good is, we
could not extract from this hopeful Ca-
naanite.
Dr. Thompson of Brooklyn, will deliver
the‘ first lecture in the course under the
auspices of the Epworth league of the M.
E. church, on Nov. 10th.
The republican town committee have
leased Raymond’s hall for a term of years.
They will subolease it from time to time
to shows‘of various kinds according to the
doctrine of a “tariff for protection,” but
the G. O. P. itself will hold the boards
when the great circus of ’92 comes to
town. ‘ '
Under the Will of the late W. E. Ray-
mond, none of his real estate can be dis-
posed of Without a vote of the Ecclesiasti-
cal society Ot the Congregational church.
This condition was imposed in considera-
tion of certain valuable béquests Mr.:Ray-
mond made to this" society. The first
meeting of the societyfor the purpose of
voting a title will be held on Friday even-
ing of this week.

Politics seems to be the theme of con-
versatiOn in this city, and at all times, the
great effort with the democracy, aided by
the third party, will be to obtain a ma.
jority in the legislature.
Mr. Hubert Booth and family are visit.
ing a while in Bridgeport, at Mrs. Booth’s
late home. Some have a fear that Mr.
Booth will finally make that his perman.

Mrs. Andrew Thompson, of West street,
gave a 5 o’clock tea last week, to a large
and select party of ladies, thus initiating
that kind of entertainments for.this sea-
son. ., , .
There are quite a number of ladies in
this city whose husbands own a horse and
buggy. In the absence of their liege lords,
they delight in riding, and handle the
“ribbons” with great skill, and often invite
their female friends to. accompany them.
None are more liberal in this respect, than
Mrs. Chasmar, of Washington street.
Uncle John Ferris, though a resident of
Five Mile River, has so much principle
and interest within the City limits, seems
almost a resident. He called the attention
of the writer to a book more than 50 years
old, containing the names of the members
of his Sunday School class, all of whom
are still living, eXcept,Lester St. John.
A few democrats were discussing poli-
ties on Saturday night, in front of a shoe
of Morris for governor, was, “he had
pledged himself to some the party as they
wished.” ,
The meetings of the Gospel Temperance
association are still continued with good
results. That held on Sunday last was
conducted with vigor, and entered into by
all present with great interest and enthusi-
asm. Reference was made to the noble
and manly step made by the Rev. Mr.
Wheatou, of the Baptist church, who in.
vited all who were willing to sign a pro-
test against licensing grog shops on the
main street of this city.
H. H. Beldeu, of Westport, is to deliver
a lecture in the Grand Armyaud Temper-
ance hall, at- 3 o’clock, Sunday afternoon
next. Subject, “Men for the Times.”
An Awkward 'Positimu.
A precocious little rascal was noticed on
J etferson avenue the other day m:..-ing his
best endeavor to ring a door bell just be-
yond his reach. A well known minister
happened along, and with the impulses of
a. good Samaritan wanted to help the boy.
“Like to ring the bell, sonny?”
“Yes, sir; but I can’t reach it."
The divine stepped to the veranda and
gave the hell a vigorous pull, as he patted
the interesting juvenile on the head. . .
“Now run like the devil!” shouted the
kid as he shot down the street. at top speed.
All the man of cloth could do was to laugh
at this deplorable bit of worldliness and
make explanation when the call was an-
swered—Detroit, News.
Presents a Man my Buy.
Among the gifts permissible for a man to
offer a young or married woman of his ac-
quaintance to whom perhaps he is indebted
for hospitalities accepted is a fur rug, and
it may be said that scarcely anything with-
m the range of his giving will better please
“milady.” She sighs first and always for
a lion’s skin, the most superb of rugs, and
the barbaric taste of the modern belle likes
the great head of the king of beasts ar-
ranged in size and efiect as nearly like life
as possible. This rugshe chooses for her
morning room, and for her East India par-
lor the sleek, glossy skin of the tiger, with
its graceful, catlike head and greenish eye,
delights her.
For her dainty bedroom, with its frescoes
of the sun god’s chariot rolling in on the
pink morning clouds attended by the
daughters of the dawn, its Watteau hang-
ings and its carpet. of white roses, a pair of
virgin white rugs, made from the long,
spotless and fluffy fleece of the Iceland
sheep, will bring joy to her heart. One she
will put before the brass bedstead for the
first touch of the foot in the morning, and
the other she. will fling down before the
dressing table, where daily the altar in-
cense of the toilet is burned. The chate-
laine of today revels in rugs—she cannot
have too many of them—New York Times.

Ulcers Form. Hospitals and Doctors Useless
Crust with Pain. (lured by Cuticnrs
Remedies.
About eight years ago I wrote you from Wilkes-
barre, Pa., describlug now your wonderful reme-
dies completely cured me of a terrible case of
eczema or salt rheum. I must now tell youwhat
Cntlcura Remedies have again done for me. On
the 22d of last September, I had
the misfortune to bruise my leg.
‘ x and I put a piece of sticking
' luster on it. Inside of a Week
'had a terrible leg. My wife
became frightened and advised
me to go to a surgeon. I went
and doctored for two months,
but no good was done me,be.
sides costing me big money. My
leg had by thistlme formed into
sun ulcer, and got worse every
‘day. I could not stand it any
. , longer. and made up my mind to
; go to a hospital and see if I
' could be helped. I went to sev-
eral here in the ctty,iu turn. but none could do
me any good. I had a terrible leg, with a .hole in
it as big as a dollar. and pain that almost set me
crazy. I got scored about it and determined to
try Cutlcura Remedies. I obtained a set and in-
side of five weeks my leg was healed up as well as
it ever was. except the terrible scar it left for a
reminder of what was once a terrible sore leg.
These Remedies are worth their weight in gold.
