GREEN'S FARMS.

William G. Stuart has received $500
for the strip of land he sold to the rail-
road. 1t is Al feet in width and extends
the entire length of his property. Mr.
Stuart was willing to sell when first APP
preached by agents of the railroad, but
did not wish to sell or move the house,
which has been in Mr. Stuarts family for
generations and which, likes a true de-
scendant of the ancient Scots, he values
highly. The plan of the railroad was to
take land enough to include the house,
or portion of it. The present settle
ment does not touch the house, although
the land was within few feet of it.
John j. Alvord has peaceably settled
his quarrels and law suits with John
Becker and wife.
Next Fall, or as soon as the finances of
the State will allow the courts to resume
business, Austin Jennings will bring
suit against the Consolidated road to re-
cover the value of the land taken from
the old green or common near his house.
A number from Green's Farms attend
ed the union picnic of Westport churches
at Glen Island, last week Thursday, but
the rain of the afternoon spoiled the
pleasure of the day.
1t is matter of surprise that half a
dozen murders and stabbing and shoot
ing ARRAYS did not occur at the Italian
camp on the Southport and Westport
road, last Sunday. For several Sundays,
the Italians have been plentifully sup
piled with beer by parties who run wag-
ons from Norwalk, but last Sunday they
drank so much that their fiery natures
became infiamed and they thirsted for
blood. The superintendent, hearing of
the row, came up and attempted to quell
it, but found himself utterly unfit TO
cope with such odds. By yelling and
swearing, the Italians made the day hid
eous to all within earshot.
Work on the Westport road is pro-
crossing, but there is some dissatisfac-
ton because the hill near G. b. Mills's
is not cut down more.
