OUR COUNTY PAIR.
More than ordinary interest has been
evinced, particularly by the people in and
about the northern section of our County, in
our Annual Fair which opens this Tuesday
evening at Danbury. From what we have
seen of the Fruit and Vegetable productions
in the 11th District, and tli‘e statements of
Horse and Cattle men, we conclude that this
Will be in advance of any similar Fair and
Cattle Show. The season has been one of
remarkable productivencss in Grains, Vege-
tables and Fruits, while there is a constant
and steady improvement and increase in all
of the domestic animals. The indications of
good weather are favorable, and the evenings
will be moonlight. \
This evening the 20th Annual Exhibition
will be formally opened by the President, B.
B. Pme; and Nurse}: L. WHITE Will give
the Salutatory, or Opening Address. The
Danbury Band, we believe, are to supply in-
strumental, and a local Glee Club vocal mu-
sic at suitable intervals throughout the week.
Wednesday morning is t apart for the
action of Committees on articles in the Tent
and the afternoon to sight-seeing, music, «be.
while in the evening there will be added
Speeches, &c. Prof. Porter, and others have
been invited and will probably be present.
Thursday is the day of the Fair. The Cat-
tle and Horses will constitute the leading at-
traction. As the grounds are enclosed there
will be ample scope for the animal show,
while the road horses, are, we learn, to have
the advantages of a. good track upon which
to display their qualities. In the evening the
Annual Address is to be given by CYRUS
NonTnnor, which will constitute no mean
attraction.
Friday, the Plowing Match, reading of
Premiums, &c., conclude the exercises of the
Fair proper, when Mons. Regnard makes an-
other ascension inhis little balloon.
One of the most novel as well as valuable
of all the labor-saving inventions of the day.
which will be on exhibition, is Bolles’ Patent
Stone Digger. “Seeing is believing,” and
we are glad that our friend J. B. Knapp of
Stamford, has taken it upon himself to
be present with a machine, in readi-
ness to Show its practical working.
A special train is, we learn, to be started
from here at half-past seven on Wednesday
and Thursday mornings, to which on Thurs-
day morning, a cattle car will be attached.
Excursion Tickets will be sold at all stations
good on all trains, we believe, throughout the
Exhibition.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENL.-—-On Tues—
day noon, :1. switch-tender named Christo-
pher Cockefnr, formerly of Norwalk, was
killed at East Newark by the locomotive at-
tached to the Newark and Bloomfield train.
He was in the act of coupling the engine to
the freight car, but by some means the bar
fell from his hand and slipped under the fas-
tening. The locomotive was backing at the
moment, and before the engineer could re-
verse the motlon the unfortunate man was
caught between the buffers, and tightly
- squeezed for a moment. When extricated,
he walked some distance, but finally fell, and
was carried to the depot. He continued to
grow worse until 3 o’clock, when he died.—
His remains were brought rto N orwalk and
interred at Pine Island Cemetery on Friday.
He leaves a wife to whom he had been mar-
ried but a few months.
Here is another sad appeal to the inventive
genin‘s 0f the age to devise some means by
which this hazardous duty of car-coupling
may be performed without the almost daily
repetition of theSe terrible calamities.

WAt a. large Republican meeting in Nor-

magnificent silk banner, costng $150. It is
of red silk, six by eight feet, bordered with a

centre a very fine portrait of Lincoln, sur-
rounded by a laurel wreath and stars, and
bearing appr0priate inscriptions. Guess our

Bank of Norwalk vs. Adams Express.
IIARTF'OJU), Sept. 19.—_Tn the Federal Cir-
cuit Court to-day, in the case of the Bank of
Norwalk vs. Adams Express, the court found
a verdict for the defendants. The Bank
claimed $2,900 scnl. through the Express for
discount on a forged note. The Court decid-
cd that theExprcss Co. was not an Insurance
or guarantor of the gcnuiucncss of paper.
(1:23,? twill be seen from thcabovc that the
suit brought by the Bank of Norwalk against
the Adams’ Express Company has been de-
cided in favor of the Company.
The princrplc involved is one of the most
importance, not only to Banks, but to indi-
viduals, for it releases the Express Companies
from all liability where a check, note or oth-
er valuable paper may be fraudulently ob-
tained and the proceeds procured through the
agency of the Express Company.
In this case the money was scaled up by the
Teller of the Bank, and directed to_ a party
in New York City, authorized to receive it, a
Theeipt taken for the same and the Express
charges paid, but the note having been left
with Adams’ d3 00., by a person falsely rcp—
resenting himself to be the owner, the Court
held that the Express Company was justified
in paying over the money received to the
person leaving the note with the Express Co.
without any obligation on the part. of the lat-
ter to have the person to whom the money
was delivered, identified.
Under this decision no Bank or individual
will be safe in paying collections presented
by Express Companies for they are not guar-
antors of the indorsement of notes or checks,
presented by them for collection. It neces-
sarily follows that a person who fraudulently
obtains a note, check, or even a bill of goods
can employ an Express Company to success-
fully defraud a Bank or individual where the
fraud could not be accomplished by the rogue
in person. "-

We are rcj oiced that a movement is at last

been able to bear the load so long. But the
bridge is really dangerous; and the public are
right in demanding its immediate repair.

Westport.
On Wednesday morning of last week, the corner
stone’of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Westport,
was laid by the Right Rev., the Assistant Bishop of
the Diocese, assisted by twenty-three of his clergy.
The unusually substantial character of this edifice,
and the earnestness with which the work is urged
on, have invested the matter with Inore than ordina-
ry interest. The plans ofthe architect, M. Le Mouli-
nicr, show a fine wall, nearly three feet thick at the
base, an elegant open roof, :1 deep semi-circular chan-
cel, five pointed windows on each side, a tower and
spire on the sontlrw est corner, two noble wheel
windows, and best of all, the working drawings in«
dicate most thorough and substantial work. We re-
gretted however, to observe that instead ol‘ouc ccn-
tie and two side aisles, (for which the width of the
church affords abundant space,) M. Le Moulinicr has
followed the usual common error of :1. block ofpcws
in the middle of the floor—always a serious injury to
the appearance of any building.
The day at first was threatening, but as the hour
approached the sun began to break through the
clouds, enabling a large number of persons to assem-
ble. The procession, consisting of the vcsfry, the
Bishop vested in his r'eclrct, chimcrc, and stole, and
the clergy, in surplisc, stole and bands, formed in an
adjoining building and made its way through the
crowd of elegant carriages and persons on fool, who
were awaiting to assist in the inauguration of the
undertaking.
The cultivated choir accompanied by an Alexandre
organ sung a brilliant anthem to the 99th l‘salm in
metre, and afterwards led the congregation in Old
Hundred and Gloria in Excelsia Dco.
The Bishop delivered an eloquent and able ad-
dress ; and it is needless to add, that after the core-
nrouy, the Bishop, Clergy, and many laymen were
splendidly entertained at the residence of the lion.

GARBLING A QUOTATION—The Hartford
Times gets off the following:
Ann LINCOLN’s OPINION.——‘:1 have always hated
slavery, I think, as much as ANY Anom'rroxrsT.”
Just about the same. Indeed, we do not see how
there could be any difference—Times.
This may seem smart to the giant minds in
the Times oflice; but hereabout it is thought
silly to garblc quotations from a book so corn-
mon as the Debates between Lincoln and
Douglas. Why did not the flaws quote the
whole sentence! W lry take a fraction of a
thought out of its due connections! Just
look at the context. The speech is to be
found on page 18 of the Ohio edition of the
debates. Mr. Lincoln said: “I have always
hated slavery, I think, as much as any aboli-
tionist—I have been an Old Line W'hig—I
have always hated it, but I have always been
quiet about it, until this new era in the intro-
duction of the Nebraska bill began.” “When
I say that I the opponents of slavery will re-
sist the father spread of it and place it where
the public mind shall rest with the belief that
it is in course of ultimate extinction—I only
mean to say, that they will place it where the
founders of thisGovernment originally placed
it.” “I have said a hundred times, and I
have now no inclination to take it back, that I
believe there is no right,and Ought to be no in-
clination in the people of the freeStates to en~
ter into the slave States, and interfere with
slavery where it exists, I know it is unwar-
ranted by anything I have ever intended, and
as I believe, by anything I have ever said."

fairly! It would not answer the purpose of

“His famous ‘jury trial’ is the most daring
and brilliant exploit in the annals of popular

and swore twelve men out of his audience,
and proceeded to defend the Republican par--
ty on a. general Democratic. indictment, in
due legal form. Nine of his jury were Doug—
las men, but being men of character and un-
der oath they were forced to answer on their
consciences, and the jury returned a unani-

keep a man to water his herds. Cattle and horses
are very cheap 'lrcrc in Northern Illinois; a good
horse can be bought for one hundred dollars, which
rhrcc years ago brought $175, and cattle 'in propor-
tion. We took a stroll over a portion of the Prairie
which extends from Chicago to Fox river, embracing
many millions of acres, and covering about two‘
thirds of the State, and saw some of the finest farms
that one could wish.. We called at the residence of
.James R. Fraser, and took dinner and passed on fur-
ther,and acceptcd the hospitalities of James It. Smi-
ly, Esq., for the night—both enterprising farmers.—
They each informed us that the crops in Illinois
were never superior, that the farmers had abundance
of everything. We foundthat many of them were
fuming their attention to gardening in no small dc-
grce; oftlresc we noticed a fine field of various vctr.

at his father’s residence a few days, (who by the way
was a Connecticut man, having taught school 'in Nor-

learning of their cultivation, and enjoying from them
a good repast.
Trade and commerce among the business men
here at the West received a severe shock in 1857,
from which it has not fully recovered; but the large
crops will enable them to pay up their back arrear-
ages,and be ready next‘season for further speculation
and prospect ofbetter times.
Through the kindness of W. S. Myers. a gentleman
doing much public business. I gained valuable in-
formation about the west, and also about Lockport,
the village I spoke of in my last, and of which I
promised to give you a description in my next.—
Lockport is upon the Illinois and Michigan Canal,
and St. Louis, Alton and Chicago Railroad, and is
in direct communication with each of those. places,
being only about an hour‘s ride 1' rem Chicago—was
incorpcrated as a village in 1853, and has a popula-
tion now including the town, ofabont4000. Here is
afine market for all kinds of produce, as is to be
found out of Chicago, prices of grain being the same
as in Chicago, less transportation. New York rates
and prices eastward being received daily by telegraph
communication direct. -
From April 1st to Sept. 1st, this year, 400,000 bush-
cles of corn, and during the month of August 30,000
bushels of wheat Were each received and slripped.—~
The village has several Churches, 3 or 4 hotels and
numerous stores .and shops. A large four- story
stone building hasjust been erected for a union
School, and is under the superintelulcucc of E. Harr-
ford, Esq, a gentleman of rare endowments as a
tcaclrer,wrro graduated with honors at one of flreCol-
legiate institutions of the State, and from whom we
learned there were about 200 pupils in daily atten-
dance. A paper was printed here up to 1857, but du-
ring the hard times it gave up, but we learn that it
isfo be resumed soon. Many companies have been
formed here, and left for the gold regions, California,
Pikcs’s Peak, &c. A company left here the middle
of May last, numbering about. 25, headed by John F.
Daggctt, one of the physicians of the place. They
took with them an Engine, Quartz Mill, and other
implements for gold and quartz mining. In a pri-
vate letter from the Dr. to his friend Mr. Myers,
written from Mountain City, bearing date August 16,
1809, he says, “The richness of the mines is past
questioning, abundance of gold is here and hard
work, skill, and pcrseverau cc will take it out,
health in the couuntry generally good. We will
now give you a short sketch 0} our visit. to the Il-
liuos State Prison, and then close. We cannot deny
that we have been inside of a State Prison for once
in our lives, but we are thankful the lawyers nor the
state did not have the credit of placing us within its
massive walls.
We, together with akind friend of ours, called a
few days since at the new penitentiary at Joliet—
The old penitentiary was located at Alton, but pop-
ulation and crime having increased, the old prison
was found inadequate to the purposes designed, and
it was discontinued three years ago, the State having
previously selected a site of ground embracing 72
acres near the city of Joliet, and erected the present
buildings thereon. The main buildings enclosed
within a wall 25 feet high, and 6 feet thick, enclo_
sing an area of 15 acres, within this circlesure are
buildings and work-shops for carrying on various
kinds of mechabical work, and really looks like a
walled city in miniature.
The cost of buildings and grounds when comple-
ted will be ten hundred thousand dollars. The-pris-
cu buildings have cells sufficient for accommodating
1200 convicts. We Were kindly received by the Dep-
uty warden. James Congdon, Esq, who took us
through the various rooms, buildings and workshops
of the institution. We'observed that the kitchens,
washrooms, and hospital were all furnished with
steam fixtures, of most modern and approved kinds.
and that each cell had a ventilating tube extending
to the roof, with two registers in each cell, all par-
titions, floors and ceilings of cells were of stone
about 8 inches thick. All buildings were lit by gas
and warmed by steam, and supplied with pure spring
water brought in pipes from a fountain not - far- dis-
tant. All buildings and walls stand on rock founda-
tions, in this I perceived they obeyed the scriptural
injunction. The Deputy Warden informed us that
the whole number of convicts were 600, of these
there were 15 negroes and 6 females. The lowest
crime for which they are sent up for is stealing five
dollars. One convict has recently been sent there
for seven years for stealing seven dollars, but was
said to be an old ofl‘ender.
There is a large stone quarry contiguous and be-
long to the prison, in which those who have no trades
are employed, and each is required to work ten hours
each day. They have bath rooms in the institution.
and all are compelled to bath twice a week, thirty at
atime. Their hair is cut short and all are shaved
oncca Week. One barber, a. convict, it was said,
could shave 200mm a day . no servants but convicts
are employed. Their mode of treatment in cases of
obstinacy is the lash, their former mode was the ap-
plication of cold water, but this was found ineflic—
font.
They have meat, vegetables, .20., for Breakfast,
and Dinner, and for Supper, bread and Coffee, have
religious services in which many of the convicts
join, every Sunday morning at half past 8 o’clock.—
A largelibrary comprising many hundred volumes
belongs to the institution, and each prisoner is al-
lowed such books as he or she may desire to read in
their cells. It being near 6 o’clock, the deputy rc-
quested us to remain a while and see the prisoners
come in to supper, he blew the steam whistle, which
was the signal for them to assemble, and in a few
minutes they came in from the usscmbl y rooms in
squads 01‘30 and 40, and passed before us to the mess
room, with hands crossed and heads turned to the
left, in close file and kceplng exact tint and step,
andnll seated themselves at stationary tables, ex-
tending the length of the rooin, and no two are al-
lowed to speak or sit facing each other. I judged
they lived better- here than at home, and the Warden
said some 3 or 4 had been back the past season to get
board. They keep them well to secure a greater-
urnouut 01' labor from thorn. :2: r * We were much
delighted with our visit, and the information we
received, and were about to depart. when the Depu-
ty and his amiable lady pressed us to stay to tea,
which wasjust ready in the dining roonr. We :10-
ceptcd, and with the deputy, his lady and a few
friends, sat down to a table loaded with' meats, va-
rious kinds of cake, bread, biscuit, hot rolls,jcllies,
preserves, and fruits of many kinds. The colored
waiters at the tables, with their white aprons, jack-
ets, and their ever striped pantaloons, were as polite
and attentive as those at the St. Nicholas or Fifth
Avenue Hotels. * * We think. upon the whole,
this institution for superior to anything of the kind
we have ever seen. The commissioners having the
erection of the building in charge, visited nearly eve-
ry institution of the kind in the country, and ,had
fashioned and improved rrporr, and expected to make
this the best of the. kind in tthuitcd States.

The Wide Awaken.
The New York Heraldof IVcdncsday gives
an interesting account of theWide-Awakc or-
ganization. The Herald gives the credit of
the organization to Hartford, and enters into
a description of its first meetings, its growth,
and the correspondence from all parts of the
Union withtheHurtford club,through its‘corrcs-
ponding Secretary, H. T. Sperry. We give
the following extracts from the Herald’s ar-
ticlc:
A movernént of such great importance and
vast results to the coming political contest
should not be OVcrlooked or belittled, as has
been done by some democratic and Know
Nothing journals, but demands careful con-
sideration. The character and standing of
many members of our community who have
joined this movement, bearing torches as pri-
ates in the ranks, give it a weight and impor-
tance heretofore unknown to any political
order.
members of all trades and professions seem
to have caught the infection, and a reference
to the drill calls daily inserted in the special
notice column of the Tribune will satisfy un-
believers of the wide-spread extent 01' the or-
ganization. ' '
. From carefully prepared statistics, it is esti-
mated that there are at present in the East-
ern, Northern and Western States ocerfom-
hundred thousand Wide Awahxas, drilled, mri-
formrd and ofiicered. They have sprung up
in large numbers in some parts of Missouri.
A fine battalion is organized in IVashington,
and another in Wheeling, Va. There are
also a few in Kentucky. They are steadily
increasing at the average ratio of 15 per
cent, a month.
They are much amused at the various sto-
rics circulated in regard to the purpose for
which they were organized. Some journals
having asserted that in the event of Lincoln’s
election t ey will replace the army and navy;
that they are armed witlunuskets in order to
forcibly prevent Southern secession, and
many like assertions. They state that their
primur I object is to. elect Abraham Lincoln
and Hannibal Hamblin, President and Vice
President of the United States, according to
the constitution and laws of the country.
For this purpOse they are banded together as
political brethren, having their interests in
common, and as missionaries among their
democratic friends. They never carry arms,
have no secret society grips or passwords,
and admit outsiders to all of' their meetings
and drills. They are equally opposed to
touching slavery where it. exists or allowing
its extension, and adopt the Chicagoplatform ‘
astheir own. They are not alone intended
for torchlight processions, but are designed
to cooperate in all the minutim of political
work, and by arguments, documents, and all
hono 'able means,t0 secure the wavering and
persuade the hostile, acting as distributors,
checkers, challengers, and patrolmcu, bring-
inw every vote to the polls.
l‘he following refers to the great gathering
of W idc Awakes in New York City, Oct. 3:
Each club or company of this city, will
take its share of the visitors to entertain.—
The Twentieth ward battalion will probably
entertain the Hartford men, and the “City
Wide Awakcs," an independent organization
will fit up their headquarters at 638 Broad-
way, for the reception of the Philadelphia
Continental Wide Awakes. '
In Connecticut :1. State Convention of Wide
Awake delegates will be held, that Connec-
ticut may be represented in a solid body.
In the First ward a company of 270 men
has been formed. The Whitehall boatrnen
have formed a club, and will parade, with a
handsome boat, rigged on wheels and decora-
ted with a banner declaring that “the Battery
boys are for Lincoln and Hamlin." Tire re-
maining down town wards will be equally
Well represented.
From the great numbers who have already
signified their intention of joining in the par-
ade, {12's estimated tlmtfro'm thirty 10 jiffy thou-
sand men will attend. One item of expendi-
ture will give some idea of the preparation.
It has been found necessary to purchase 200
barrels of oil to fill the torches of visiting
companies.

as?“ Tire probabilities now are that the va-
rious divisions of the Democracy will not
form a fusion in any State where they can irr-
jurc the Republican party. Their principles
are really so different, that it is difficult to see
how a coalition'cun take place in such a way
that the adherents of one shall vote for the
electors of the other. If men are ever gov-
erned by principle in their adhesion to party,
we could not look for a fusion. If there is
any honesty left in the politics of the country
the rank and file will, some of them, at least,
refuse to follow the dictation of their unprin-
cipled leaders, to embrace principles which
they abhor. '
But, notwithstanding the present appear-
ance of the failure of any fusion, it is the duty
of the Republicans to exert themselves and
act as if a fusion had been made, for it may
yet be made any moment. Here, in Connec-
ticut, if our friends will all go to the polls, we
can beat our oponents with fusion or without.
If they are completely united we can beat
them, but it must [why an effort as great as
that made last spring. It is the duty of I: very
Republican to be awake, aroused, active, and
persevering. > There never was a. better time
to scatter documents repectiug the issues be-
fore us. The Democrats are more disposed
than ever before to listen to any exposition of
our principles, and to examine the character,
life and views of Abraham Lincoln. Many
of them are uncommitted as yet with refer-
ence totlreir own candidates ,and may be led to
see Lincoln‘s superior exec‘utive excellencics
and to vote forhim.--Har{tbrd Oom'am.

Col. Phillip S. While, one of the speak-
ers at the meeting in Philadelphia, on Friday
last, recited the following characteristic irr-
cident: “But. it was objected that if Lincoln
was elected, no Southern man would hold
office under him. A friend of Mr. Lincoln
said, ‘I fear you will be greatly troubled with
the South.’ ‘Yes,’ said Mr. Lincoln, ‘1 fearl
shall.’ ‘Ofcoursc,’ said his friend, ‘on ac~
count of their opposttion to you.” “VVhy,’
replied Mr. Lincoln, ‘look at this pile of let-
ters before me. I shall have trouble. They
are all from the South, and are applications
for office, in easel should be elected.’ So
much for Mr. Lincoln‘s trouble with the
South."
A Republican in Dela "are is sanguine
enough to anticipate the possibility of that
State voting for Lincoln in the fall. He says:
\Vc have now 4,000 votes out of a total of
15,800, and four Electoral tickets in the field.
Ofthc newspapers we have three—Breckin~
ridge, two; Douglas, one; Bell, one. Ama-
jority of the Bell men are for Lincoln as their
second choice, and when they see no hope for
Mr. Bell—and there is none—many will vote
quietly for Lincoln to defeat Breckinridgc.
The Douglas men also prefer Lincoln ‘10
Br‘eckinridgc, as do amajority of the whole
people."
