The town of Westport and Editor

the sprightly‘Vestporter live to cele-
brate its 56th birthday too, and not
show its age any more than its genial
editor.
Rebecca Hendricks, nine years of
age, while playing in the horse car
depot Saturday evening ran into the
ear horses attached to driver Lane’s
car and was knocked down and quite
severely bruised. It is a wonder that
more children have not been hurt at
this place, as they seem to make the
depot a play house, notwithstanding
the orders of President Hyatt to keep
away.
Two young fools, with the down of
puberty scarce visible on their chins,
strolled 11p and down in front of the
James place last evening. just as the
Grace and M. E. churches wercout,
boldly and insultingly accosting la-
dies unattended by gentlemen escorts.
A night in the borough lock-up would
be just the right kind of medicine to
cool off such over-grown boy’s vicious-
ness.
Messrs. Scofield and Hoyt drove to
New Canaan yesterday to see Mr. Hoyt’s
brother who was so seriously injured
by falling from a building there last
week. They found him comparatively
comfortable, with two ribs broken and
his arm fractured below the elbow and
his body badly bruised. He is attend-
ed by two physicians and it is wonder-
ful that he was not killed outright. He
is not so well to-day.
Mr. Peter Mead of New Canaan, is at
the unnecessary trouble of sending us
a spirited and indignant denial of the
Hour’s story of his having carted away
a wagon load of 6000 GAZETTES from
this office. We stated at the time that
it was a lie, the Hour knew it was a lie
and so that ought to end it. Mr. Mead
fails to remember that there have
been three great falsifiers in the world’s
history, one being Ananias of old and
the other two the “ circulation ”scorer
of the Hour.

Dr. Bridges reached New York at 1
o’clock this morning in the steamer
Cherokee from Charleston andleft New
York fer home in the 8 a. m. express.

erably and he hopes by prudent care
and rest at home to rapidly recuperate.

This morning Mr. John A. Osborn
made complaint to the borough officials
that last evening a friend of his, whose
horse had been hitched in that vicinity,
came very near losing his horse and
his own life, owing to the fright of the
animal at the roller. It is explained
to the GAZETTE that one reason why
the machine is not run to some out of
the way place is because it is likely to
break crosswalks when run across them,
and another reason is because boys are
likely to tamper with it. Under the
circumstances, therefore, the borough
authorities are at aloss to know what
to do unless the danger signals be mul-
tiplied, and scattered along the avenue.

ing Mrs. Lester Bennett, of Weston.

17th of June.
The Italian arrested here Sunday
night for criminal assault on a little
girl, pleaded guilty of rape, yesterday,
at Bridgeport. It is conjectured that
he was ignorant of the gravity of- his
plea, which means state prison for
ife, and an interpreter will be procured
for him and he will be allowed to change
the plea if he so desires, as his crime
was far short of the confession.~
Shad fry to the number of 2,054,000
were deposited in the Connecticut river
at War ehouse Point yesterday mo rning.

quehanna rivers. They were propa-
gated in water having a temperature of
650 , and whether they will hatch out
in water with a temperature of 56 ° ,
which was the temperature of the river
when they were deposited, is the ques-
tion. '1
Yesterday afternoon Chief DeForest
learned that a well dressed man was
lying dead drunk in front of Mrs. Dr.
Lynes’ place on West avenue. Officer

considerable effort escorted the sadly
inebriated individual to the lockup.
This morning the man, whose name
is given is given as Robert Kelley, was
taken before Justice Austin and fined
$1 and costs. His penitence was quite
touching and he is not likely to be
again caught in the same predicament.

two weeks ago, in which the appoint-
ment of Thomas L. Watson of Bridge-
port as brigadier general was rejected,
was forwarded to the office of the sec-
retary of state yesterday by the clerk
of the senate. The filing of the resolu-
tion with the secretary of state disposes
of General Watson’s title to the brig.
adier generalship, and Acting Governor
Bulkeley will now have official inform-
ation of General Watson’s rejection,
and it is expected that he will at once '
re-appomt him as the best military men
in the state seem to unitedly desire he
should do.
