‘i The Little Town Meetings."
It is now but a little more than a week
when in most of the towns of the State, the
annual elections are to be held for the choice
of "local boards of Selectmen .&c. The im-
portance of these elections are invariably lost
sight of by our friends until too late to cor-
rect the errors into which they may have fallen
through apathy or want of attention to their
bearing upon the Spring contests. The Re-
publicans ought to take the matter in hand,
and at once commence that organization
which shall ensure its full strength at the
polls of the Town Meetings, for, as the Hart-
ford Press truly states, in many of the towns
a loss of the board of selectmen is equivalent
to a loss of the town. There are various
ways in which a fair majority can be put down
by an unscrupulous board, or by a decision
upon points where a difference of opinion is
honestly eutertained,and our opponents, as
past experience teaches,never fail to exercise
that power when it can be done for their own
advantage. The election next Spring is to
be one of unusual importance. In addition to
the.ofilcers annually elected, sherifl‘s are to
be chosen for. the three succeeding years, and
the Legislature will have a U. S. Senator to
elect for six years. Add to this the fact that.
the position of Connecticut in the spring will
have an important influence on the Presiden-
tial canvass in the fall, and it will be seen
that it is of the greatest consequence that the
Republicans do not loose this fall any of the
advantages they now possess. Vermont and
Mainehave recently confirmed their adhesion
to sentiments upon which New Eu gland is now
a unit, and Connecticut must not be allowed
to enter a discordant note. Upon town com-
mittees is more immediately devolved the la-
bor of preparation for the elections about to
beheld. They should at once see to it that
arrangements are thorOughly made for getting
out a full vote.

h. The the examination of Joseph Wilson
(charged with the murder of C. W. Banks)
'was concluded at Hartford, on Friday night,
‘audvh'e' was bound over for trial under $4,060
‘bouds.
He seems to be identified as the person who
killed Banks but there is a discrepancy among
”the witnesses as to various points. Some of
‘ them say that W. was on the right of the com-
pany—others say on the left or in the center.
The defence claim that the deed must have
' been committed by some other person.

_ We ‘learn that Elbert Raymond and Z. S.
Hawkins have received the contract for the
erection of Phcenix Company’s Engine House,
the former as carpenter and the latter as ma-
son. They are to commence the work the
-. present week, we believe. The building is to
, be of brick, and they have been fortunate in
. securing the services of first class mechanics

: bruise, which has housed the Colonel ever
since. Whether his affection for “dcr mer'
chine” was as great as the poor fellow who
. a

ting the blood out of his mouth, anxiously
. .. inquired—“did it hurt her much’7—we do not
learn. But if. is to be seriously regretted that
the interest he has taken for the public wel-
fare, in the organization and sustaining of
this company, should have met with so unfor.

The Edito rial Convention.
The Norwalk Gazette presses its invitation
upon the editors of the State to hold a con-
vention of the newspaper association in that
place, and renews its promise of an abundant
welcome. The editor asks when shall the con-
vention be held? That depends, we suppose,
somewhat upon the progress of that new build-
ing which is to be dedicated. How would the
third week in October do? We have, either
personally or through their papers the appro-
’ ' val of at least half the editors in the State to

the call of the convention, and believe a full
meeting would be convened.

filo our incidental allusion to the long
and unnecessarily harsh imprisonment of poor
Taylor, in our last, we were not aware that
any efforts were on foot for his release. We
are exceedingly gratified to learn that Sheriff
Van Zandt has undertaken this work of hu-
manity and mercy, and we most sincerely
trust he may be seconded in these disinterested
efforts, reflecting so much credit upon his
head and heart. The circumstances of Tay-
lor’s crime are doubtless well remembered—-
One Daniel Davis of New Canaan, had sworn
to a'lie and obtained apensiou upon said adi-
davit. It was claimed that Taylor instigated
the fraud. Of this however there has ever
been a doubt. But be this as it may, Davis
being on his sick (and as it proved his dying)
bed, was proceeded against only so far as to
be compelled to disgorge his ill gotten gains.
Taylor was ariested, tried, committed, and
sentenced to the State’s Prison for ten years
—some seven or eight of which he has already
served out. Prior to, and during his trial, he
had repeated opportunities to have escaped,
but made no efl‘ort to avail himself of them.
He stood his trial and as every one.believes
who knew the man. received a sentence, hear-
ing no proportion to the crime with which he
stood charged. No State Court would prob.
ably have sentenced him to more than three
years, even had his guilt been made clear.—
All who ever knew him, know that Taylor
was far from being a hardened knave—-tbat he
was a man who would undoubtedly suffer more
in mental anguisb,in a single days’ incarcera-
tion in the State’s prison, than one by nature
a criminal, would in twenty years. We learn
that the warden of the prison testifies to his
unxeceptionable department—and now that
the man is utterly broken in health and spirit,
we trust that. no man can be found, who hav-
ing a particle of influence with the President,
will fail to use it, for his release.

Robert L.Pell’s Farm at Rondont.
This gentleman has a farm of 1,200 acres on
the Hudson River,two hundred of which are
orcharding. He has twenty thousand “ New-
ton Pippin” trees in full hearing. The excel-
lence of this fruit is well known in England,
where Mr. Poll made large exportations. Such
is his care and cultivation, that none have
been sold for less than eight dollars per barrel
and many of them in the English markethave
brought twenty dollars per barrel. Great
care is taken to cultivate and manure the or-
chards. The mode of. manuriug is to plow
within a few feet of the rows of trees and
plant potatoes, manuring heavily in the drill
Thc hue and the cultivator do the rest. Ml“
P. has over eighty acres of potatoes on this
farm, in cultivation, all of one variety, and a
seedling of his own production. More than
one hundred miles of stone drain had been laid
on this farm, and nine miles of walks. Straw-
berries, raspberries, aud grapes are here raised
for market but all are neat and in order. The
proprietor must be a sort of universal genius.
for he has several otherirous in the fire, Few

roof, but the Rev. Mr. Field preached a ser-

congregation to tingle. He chose for his text
the passage—“But they thought to do me
mischief”—-—aud took advantage of the occ asion
to administer the discipline of wholesome
truth to the tattlers of the village of Murine-
ville. There is a mystery hanging about the
affair : The clergyman declares that he never
gave the slightest ground for a matrimonial
idea to blossom. in the mind of the disappoint-
ed spinster. The better informed portion of
the population believe that the whole thing
was a trap to catch a sunbeam,or what would
have been a sunbeam in the vacant life,of Miss

They Are Coming.
NIXON & Co’s Mammoth Show, covering
nearly an acre of ground in extent, is now
travelling through this State. Wherever this
famous troupe have appeared the audience
and the press have expressed the highest
satisfaction. The exploits of the “ educated
bull" who took his degrees in the classic are-
na of Niblo’s Garden last winter, and the in-
teresting scientific feat of walking across a
smooth ceiling,feet up and head dowu,besides
some superb specimens of Arabian perform-
ing horses, together with a corps of gymnasts,
grotesques and pautominists Will all bcshown
up in Nixon 8'. Co’s Mammoth Exhibition.
The performances given by this troupe are of the cel-
ebrated “ Ravel” order only in better style, and being
ten times greater in variety and novelty, besides com-
prising a much larger area of talent and material in-
the different departments of the gymnasium.
Like the Ravels, Messrs. Nixon & Co. have engaged art-
ists of' the highest talents in every departm ent of their
entertainments, including gymnasts of the best schools
and acrobats of surpassing address, while their accom-
plished pantomimisfs and grotesques with their ludi-
crous antics and light and elegant agility, hive render-
ed the “ clown” unnecessary. We are assured by those
who have witnessed the performances of the Mammoth
Show that the exhibition is both interesting and ins-
tructive, conducted with propriety and is well worthy
the general support it receives.
As many of our public seminaries have blended physi-
cal with intellectual instruction in their institutions by
the introduction of" the exercises of‘the gymnasium, the
superior address displayed by the different artists at-
tached to Nixon 52 Co’s troupe in their various feats,
will serve as models for the imitation ofsuch amateurs
as may have an opportunity of witnessing them. There
does not seem to be a doubt that this novel and bean-
tiful exhibition, if continued upon the principles an-
nounced by the proprietors, will soon take the place of
menageries,circusses and all the other travelling shows
in the country.
We are requested by the agent to say that the com-
pany will appear at the following places :
New Haven, Monday, Sept. 26th ; Bridgeport, Tues-
day, 27111 ; Norwalk, Wednesday, 28th.

Opening of the Teachers Institute at
Reading.
The annual meeting of the Teachers of Fair-
field County commenced at ltcdding on Tues.
day last. The cxercises,which were held in
the Methodist Church consisted of the usual
routine,—cousultations among Teachers, inu-
tunl exchange of'fhcorics and plans adopted
in education, listening to good advice from
the experienced, and Lectures from those who
have passed through and graduated from the
’I‘enchcrs’ " practical college.
Visiting the Institute at itsscssion on Tues-
day evening. we found about two hundred
(mostly Teachers) assembled, on the occasion
of the opening Lecture by Rev. Mr. Northrop
State agent for the Massachusetts Board of
Education. Glancing over this assemblage
of the intell :ctual workers of our county; on
the brows of some of whom pale thought,
tinged by care, had folded her wings while oth-
ers exhibited a rank growth of physical energy
,-—we lapsed intoa revery, the conclusion of
which was that, if the pross,(us is honestly
supposed to be the case) keeps the people
from going back into fellowship with the spirit
of the darka es, the School Teachers of our
country are m' inly instrumental in educating
the raw material for the " art preservative,”
and therefore,had ought to be connected with
it. You bachelor editors! we warn yo.i
against a Miss-construction of' this remark.
The Lecture was preceded by devotional
exercises, in a prayer by Rev.Mr. Shaw, during
the delivery of which be appropriately allud-
cd to the benefits which might flow to the cit-
izeus of Bedding. from the convention of
Teachers in their midst. The subject of the
evening’s Lecture was “ The Bible as an Edu-
cator.” From the pages of the inspired vol-
ume, the speaker adduced some pertinent and
convincing illustrations of its peculiar adap-
tation to the education of the afi'cclions of
young minds, and the fact that the affections
had an equal demand with the intellect upon
the fostering band, was an important truth,
clearly demonstrated. A startling proof of the
power of home influences in guarding the feet
ofyouth from the paths of vice, was furnished
to the speaker during a late visit to a State
Reform School, numbering 600 inmates In-
quiring of the Superintendent what was the
main cause of the commitment oftbe children
to his charge, his reply was that three-fifths,
of them were orphans.and a majority of the re-
mainder were of parents who had either sepa-
rated, or lived unhappily together. The con-
fessions of the wisest and best men of our
country were given to show that they had
found the Bible the fountain head of' their
highest intellectual attainments.— Times.

A Venerable Lady.
The Bridgeport papers mention the visit to
that city. cf Mrs. John Thompson, of Stratford
on the completion of her 951k year, to spend
her birthday with her childern and grand chil-
dren. She called upon her old school mate,
Capt. John Brooks, who is nearly 96 yeary
old. The Farmer says :
' ‘-' Her form is yet erect not a wrinkle is
upon her face, and her cheeks are as may as a
maiden’s. Being ten years of age at the com-
mencement of the Revolution, she recollec‘ts
many incidents of “ those times that tried
men’s souls.” and which she related to us
while with her. Her father—MLGeorge Ben-
jamin—-theu kept a hotel in Stratford and at
his house both General Washington and Gen-
eral La Fayette stopped to dine while pass-
ing through Connecticut. Once,when Gene-
eral Washington was there,she requested the
privilege of carrying a dish of vegetables to
the table, in order that she might get a sight
of the illustrious guest. She placed the dish
near the General’s plate. when he patted her
upon the shoulder. and said “ she was a nice
little miss.” Of this she feels as proud as if
she had been presented to the mightiest poten-
tate of Europe.
At one timea company of Hessinus encamp-
ed in Stratford for the purpose of assisting
foraging parties who landed from the vessel
in the Sound. She says they used to amuse
themselves by rolling nine-pins on Strafford
Green, running foot- races, and shooting at the
weathercock on Stratford church so as to make
it turn around. Sometimes a party of Conti.
uentals would stop at the house. She said
she always pitied them, because they were so
poorly clad and often came barefooted in the
coldest of weather. When remaining over
uighf,the paymaster, after ascertaining the
amount of the bill, would take out a roll of
paper money. looking like a roll of paper-
hangings, and cutting off the sum required
would hand it to her father ; this was the Con-
tineutal currency. She recollects seeing the
flames at Fairfield when that town was burnt
by the British, under Try on. She informed
us of a fact we never heard before or saw in
any history of the Revolution—and that was
this :——Doctor Johnson. then the Pastor of the
Episcopal Chuich in Stratford, addressed a
letter to the King in regard to that piece of
vandalism, and the atrocities connected with
it. To this was a replthat “ no orders had
been given to burn seaport towns, and that
those who were guilty of it should be called
to account.” Her father was a parishioner,
and an officer of Doctor Johnson’s Church at
that time. and from him she learned this inci-
dent. The old lady recollects these occur-
rences as if' they happened but yesterday.”
rs. Thompson is the mother of thirteen
chi dren, and can count nearly a hundred
grand-children and great-grandchildren now
living.

Arson and Robbery.
Dr. Brooks and wife were sitting in their
house at Hoadleyville, Waterbury, on Mon-
day evening, about 10 o’clock, when looking
out the window, the Dr. discovered his barn
on fire. He quickly rushed out with a hired
man to save hi s property. A villain immedi-
ately came in and knocked Mrs. Brooks down
with his flst,and succeeded in carrying off a
box containing $110 and some oth or articles.
So quickly was this done, that he escaped be-
