Darien Timber Gazette
   It is said that evry house will be occupied at the Ridge this summer and 
more wanting.
   Shad is now plentiful in this market and they are the finest we have ever 
seen in these parts.
   The "wheel of fortune" man doubtless thinks that Darien is the "softest" 
place he has struck yet.
   It is said that the "phantom party," was a grand affair. We are sorry that 
we were unable to attend.
   The City Marshal will go up to Washington City on tomorrow week to see our 
new President inaugurated.
   Jack Collins the well-known colored overseer on Champneys Island, died in 
Darien on Tuesday night of pneumonia.
   Mr. Adam Strain is going to build a handsome residence on the Ridge.  We 
are glad to know that he will spend his summers here in future.
   *Mr. Mike Mulcair and Miss Mary E. Walker were married at Doboy on Tuesday 
night last, by the Rev. Father Shea.  The happy couple have our best wishes.
   The Ridge is the prettiest and healthiest as well as the pleasantest resort 
that can be found anywhere.  It borders on the salts.  It should have a 
thorough drainage system nevertheless.
   We call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. T. Van Gilder & Son, in 
this issue.  These gentleme mean business and would advise all those having 
cypress logs for sale to call on them.
   Ben Nightengale, Sandy Williams, Jerry Jones and Harrington Wilson were 
arrested on yesterday for refusing to perform street work-  The two former 
paid up and the others will work fifteen days on the streets.  Guyton is after 
others.
   The machinery for a cypress mill has arrived in Darien and work putting it 
in place will be commenced at once.  The old Hilton mill site at Cat Head 
creek has been selected and we hope to chronicle in short time the fact that 
the mill is in operation.
   Thousands of salt-water trout are now found half-dead flating in the small 
creeks and rivers in this section.  The Board of Health has issued orders 
prohibiting their sale in Darien.  It is said that the freshet is the cause of 
the salt-water fish dying in large quantities.
