SOUTHPORT.

James Ward, who owns land on the west side of Sasco river, about mile north of the village, built dam across the river, some time since, which diverts the stream from a straight course and causes bend to the east; I30 feet below, the old course is joined. The island thus formed is 80 feet across at the wid- est point and contains about P rods of low, swampy land, through which flows a small current. Ward claims that the curve is the original and proper bed of the stream, while Dimon Bradley, who owns land on the east side of the river and whose territory is invaded by the new stream, declares that the straight course is the lawful one. AS this river is the dividing line between Fairfield and Westport, Selectmen Silas B. Sherwood of the latter town and Selectmen Ed ward Hawkins, Horace Jennings, W. T.. Bulkley of Fairfield met here and appar- ently favored Wards side. Ward has several times partially choked the chan mel, but Bradley cleared it at his own ex- pense. This time, however, he erected a substantial dam and felled huge tree across the top.

SCULPTURE.

The Dustin plaster of Mr.. William
Aud, which the sculptor Allan
Hutchinson, has very nearly COM
pleted, was viewed by a favored few
last evening, and really enjoyable
treat it was. The production, be-
sides being most striking likeness
of Mr.. Aud, is evidence of re-
markable genius in the artist. He
certainly has done justice to the
profession he has adopted, and if
this is to be taken as a sample of his
capabilities, many valuable and fin
ished productions may be looked
for from his hands in the future.
The bust should be put on exhibit
ton so that our citizens may fully
appreciate the talents of the gentle
man who is making so quiet and UNI
assuming a stay with us.
