The Fair. ”J
Notwithstanding much unpleasant weath-
er during the past week, the twenty-fourth
Annual Fair of our County Agricultural So-
ciety was every way a grand success. Taken
altogether, it was probably the best Fair ev-
er held in this County; and the most largely
attended.
On Tuesday, articles for exhibition within,
the Tent were brought in and arranged, but
ihe Fair was not opened to the general pub-
ic. ’ ” ‘
On Wednesday morning the Fair opened,
and the attendance during the day and even-
ing was very large. Old Farmers who have
attended many Fairs, and who take a deep
interest in Stock, say that they have never
witnessed a better display of Cattle than
made at this Fair. Weston took the premi-
um for the best train of Oxen—38 pairs;
Norwalk had the largest train—51 pairs;
Wm. Meeker, Westport, took the premium
for best‘pair Working Oxen; Mr. Foster,
Bedding, 2d; Mr. Sturges,Westport, 3d ; but
We must refer to the awards of the commit-
tees for further paaticulars of this Show. ’ In
the evening, the Tent was well filled, and
the audience was entertained with short
speeches, and vocal and instrumental music.
The Brass Band of four pieces was com-
posed of the Ponscll Brothers, of Westport.
Thursday morning was rainy, and the ex-
hibition of Horses and Colts could not take
place on account of the unfit condition of
, the track, and was accordingly postponed
until Saturday. The weather cleared up
before noon, and the afternoon was ?-.quite
pleasant. The attendance during the day
was enormously large, notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather of the morning. If
Jefi‘ Davis could have “dropped in," he
would probably have satisfied himself that
the resources of the North were not com-
pletely exhausted. We do not think a larger
numberof people were ever in attendance
during one day, at any of our County Fairs;
than on Thursday. During the afternoon
Mr. Smith Barnum got up a race on the
Course for the amusement of the people. A
purse of $50 was raised, and three horses en-
tered for the race, one owned by Mr. J. H.
Keyser, of Norwalk, one by Mr. Weeks, of
, Norwalk, and one by a gentleman in Stam-
ford. The race was for the best two in three,
and was won by Mr. Keyscr. The atten-.
dance during the evening was larger than on
the previous evening.
Friday was a drizzly, rainy, uncomfortable
day, but at two o'clock quite a large audi-
ence had gathered in the Tent to listen tog:
" the Annual address by Rev. Dr. OSGOOD,
Who delivered an earnest, forcible and truly
eloquent address. We wish that it could have
been listened to not only by every farmer,
but by every man and womanin this, his na-
tive county. '
After the address, the List of Premiums
(which we publish elsewhere) was read by
the Secretery, when the articles on exhibi-
tion in the Tent were removed.
On Saturday a large crowd of people gath-
ered to witness the exhibition of Horses: and
Colts, of which a very fine show was made.
The awards of the committees Will be found
in the proper place in the Premium List.
The exhibition in the Tent was more com-
plete and varied, probably, than at any form-
er Fair. The list of premiums awarded will
give some idea of the extent of this show.
There was a good show of Wheat, Rye
Oats, Buckwheat, Corn, Beans, Garden Seeds
&c., and the best collection of Vegetal les’
we think, shown for years past. Mr. Jolt.
Moir, gardener of J. B. Hoyt, Esq. of stem-
ford was awarded the premium for best and
largest collection of Vegetables. The gar-
dener of Oliver Hoyt, Esq, of Stamford, also
had a choice variety of Vegetables, Melons,
&c. Ira Seymour, and Allen Betts of Nor~
walk exhibited some fine looking Sweet Po-
tatoes. W. P. Comstock, of Danbury, exhib-
ited some fine looking Peppers—the only
article exhibited from Danbury. The show
of Fruit was good. Jesse Banks of Bedding,
8. Hoyt & Sons, New Canaan, A. Sherwood,
Southport, and" J. W. Bates, Darien, carried
011‘ the principal premiums on Apples; T. B..
Wakeman, of Westport, on largest collection
Pears and Peaches; John Moir, gardener of
' J. B. Hoyt, Esq., of Stamford, took the pre-
mium for best dozen Pears; the gardener of
Messrs. Hoyt,of Stamford and Mrs. R. H.
.Winslow, of Westport, made splendid exhi-
. bitions of Grapes, grown under glass. Al-
fred Ellis, gardener of Mrs. R. H. Winslow,
, of ”Westport, had a large variety Cf exotic
- plants and flowers, which ettractcd much
; "attention. :Mrs. Chas. Comstock, New Car-
naan, had the greatest variety of flowers.
The show of flowers was very good.—
" Our local” is indebted to Miss Carrie-Hoyt
of New Cannaan, for a beautiful Boquet,
which was on exhibition. Fannie E. Ward-
Well, of Stamford, aged 8 years had a fine
Boquet of Wild Flowers 84 varieties which
was presented to Rev. Dr. ,ngood.
; The Norwalk Lock Company had a fine
show of Locks, Knobs, &c.; Jackson &
-’ Brother, E. K. Lockwood do 00., E. Black-
man, and others exhibited cases of goods.—
JCharl'ey D’Artois took the premium On his
“celebrated Ice Cream,” as a matter of course.

THE HOFFMANS.-—These distinguished Ar-
tists favm' our citizens with one of their
most acceptable entertainments, Wednesday
evening, at Lockwood’s Hall. It is ulieless
to enter into comments upon these Artists.—
Their Concerts in every city are attended by
the most refined and intellectual audiences.
At their first Concert in this place they won
the admiration and applause of all, and our
citizens now expect a musical‘treat such as
they seldom hear. We notice on the pro-
gramme all the latest musical gems, and in
the hands of such Artists they cannotbe oth-
erwise than most admirably performed. They
have also engaged the famous Baritone Vo-
calist, J. R. Thomas of New‘ York, who in
addition to his fine rendering of ballads, will
sing several Ducts with Mme. Varian. We
predict for Mme. Varian and Mr. Hoffman a
crowded and fashionable audience.

WAbout a week since, two young boys,
about 9 and 11 years- of age, got into a boat
near Saugatuck Bridge, Westport, when the
boat got loose and floated away from the
shore, out into the river, and. into Long Is-
land Sound. The boys were perfectly help-
less, hut a merciful Providence watched over.
and protected them, and they Were drifted
across the sound to the beach at Stony Brook,
L. I. where they were seen and rescued by
a woman, taken care of and returned to their
friends in Westport. '

MESSRS. EDITons:——Having given the
“First Annual Report” of the Hon. Isaac
Newton, Commissioner of' the Department
of Agriculture, a careful examination, and
being satisfied that its circulation would be
attended with very gratifying results. I have
hastily written out the impressions the lead-
' ing articles made upon me, thinking it a
proper time to call the attention of Agricul-
turists, and others, to its value. It is pub-
lished in a large octavo volume of over six
hundred pages, with very excellent illustra-
tions. .
The introductory Report is well calculated
not only to interest and instruct, but also to
lead many too more careful and apprecia-
tivé‘examinationbf the Whole subject, and,
is a fitting preface to the matter which fol-
lows. 7
The article upon the INTERNATIONAL Ex-
irmITION' OF 1862, is more interesting per-
haps to the general reader, than it would be
if its subject w’ere entirely agricultural; it is
full of valuable information, and should ex.
art a healthful influence upon our local exhi-
bitions. '
. AGRICULTURE or MAINE, might well be
followed by a series of similar articles, em-
bracing all our States, and Territories, all of
which would be locally, and generally, ' use.
ful and instructive. . ’
THE WHEAT PLANT, very important to
our general prosperity, and well worthy of
all the space occupied, by this, and the an e-
ceeding article; on WHEAT IN NEW HAMP-
sEIRE.
COTTON. AND FLAx COTTON, the problem
of the age, and one that must, in all proba-
bility, continue to occupy public attention
to a painful degree for some time to come;
the subjects appear to be very judiciously
handled. ~
Of TOBACCO, I have nothing to say, bee
lieving its production and use “more hon-
ored in the breach than the observance.”
IMPHEE AND Soncuim—articles upon very
important subjects, which are very well
treated, but not exhausted.
SHELTER AND PROTECTION To ORCHARDS
—a matter whose importance has hardly
been realized by the Fruit growers of this
country, and one requiring more extended
notice than this judicious article exhibits.
WILD FLOWERSr-a beautiful theme, ex-
tremely well handled, and as condensed as
“Borden’s Milk,” or “Dessicated Vegetables.”
APPLEs AND PEARs—very valuable, and
beautifully illustrated,’bringing into small
compass much information that could other-
wise be obtained only by reading the several
volumes of Downing, Thomas, Barry, Cole,
etc.; the information given is very correct,
and worthy of all confidence. '
THE CLIMATOLOGY OF THE GRAPE—this
article will command and richly deserves the
attention of every careful reader. The
isothermal information is of great interest
and vast importance,'as also the'general di-
rections as to adaptation of soils, the influ-
ence of rain, the lakes, etc. .
CAMPBELL'S TREATISE ON THE GRAPE is
also valuable in many respects.
PHYSIOLOGY OF BREEDING, Jae—rather a
delicate subject for general reading, yet one
of great importance and very true.
In the ”CONDITION AND PROSPECTS of
SHEEP HUSBANDBY—We approach one of the
most important subjects that can employ the
attention of the Agricultural, the Manufac-
turing an the Eating Community. The
seventy pages, devoted to this subject. could
not have been more profitably employed,
and great good must result, from having such
information scattered through the land.
The articles upon CATTLE, Hons as and
FOWLs—are replete with just the kind of
instruction, that is needed to bring their re-
spectivc subjects before the agricultural fra-
ternity and leave an abiding influence.
'; EuTouoLosv—What lover of perfect fruit ?
what producer of the cerials ? is not interes-
‘ted in this subject, to such we say, here you
nay obtain the knowledge necessary to know,
if not to conquer, yourubiquitous foes.
TEE ~AILANTuus SILK WORM— -a good
article, and if the result of its instructions,
should be the eating up, root and branch, as
well as foliage of that disgusting tree, the
authors labor would be a God-send, ,
MAPLE SUGAR—important. and very val-
uable, the future weal of our country re-
quires the'developm‘ent of all our resources
in this direction.
FARM IMPLIMENTS—Wel'y good, but net
extended enough. An excuse however may
be found in the fact, that a full volume,
‘wouldhardly do justice to the subject.
MANUFACTCEE or FLOUR—a short easay,
but conveying much valuable information.
COAL OIL—A treatise that throws much
light upon this important article of' Con-
sumption, and exportation, well worth carc
ful perusal. ' ' '
" Mutants of RUTLAND VERMONT.—A con

a power that must. carry intimation if not

his success:
Gen. Meade moved from his left this
morning, and carried the enemy’s line
near Poplar Grove Church.
A later dispatch, dated this evening

Gen. Butler, at 3 p. m., reported that the
enemy had just made an assault in three
columns on his line near Chopin’s Farm,
and had been repulsed.

EDWIN M. STANTON,
' Secretary of War.
The War Department has received an
official dispatch from Gen. Sheridan, da-
ted at Harrisonburg, Va., Sept. 28, 7:30
p. m , in which he gives full details of the
pursuit of Early up to that-time. He
says that most trustworthy accounts
show that Early’s army was completely
broken up and demoralized, and gives it
as his impression that most of the troOps
Early had left, passed through the moun-
tains and fell back upon Charlottsville.
Sheridan kept up the pursuit to Port
Republic, destroying seventy—five wagons
and four caissons. He sent- Gen. Tornert
to Stannton, with Wilson’s Division. of
cavalry and one Brigade of Merritt’s.
Torbert entered Stannton on the 26th
and destroyed a large quantity of Rebel
Government property, harness, saddles,
small arms, hard bread, flour, repair
shops, &c. He then proceeded to
Wayuesboro, destroying the iron bridge
over the South branch of the Shenandoah,
seven miles of track, the depot buildings,
a Government ‘ taunery, and a large
amount of‘ leather, flour, die, at that
place.

McClellan a: Seymour-’3 Friends
Checkmated.
Alittle incident occurred at our annual
Fair, in which the tables were luckily turned
against the copperheads. On last Thursday,
while the exhibition of Horses was taking
place,a prominent copperhead,(of course,
by preconcerted arrangement,) collected a
crowd in front of the Judges’ stand, and up-
on agiven signal gave three cheers for Me-
Clellan. Impudent and untimely as was the
demonstration, it was immediately met with
three rousing cheers for Lincoln and J ohn-
son, completely drowning the copperhead
cheers. One of the Judges very properly~
asked what such cheering had to do With a
County Fair, when an Old farmer rejoined,
“nothing, only we don’t mean to have Gun-
Boat McClellan crammed down our throats
at a Fair, or in any other place." Mac’s
friends grew beautifully less from in front
of the stand, evidently disappointed at what
they had planned for a decided hit.

McClellan on Gen. Sheridan’s
- Victories.
On Tuesday of Sept. 20, the loyal
heart of the nation was thrilled with the
news of the victories won by glorious
Phil. Sheridan and his gallant army.—
The people were joyous and hopeful.—
That same night, according to previous
arrangements, 0 grand Copperhead dem-
onstration came off in Newark, N. J. in
honor of their candidate, McClellan. A
torchlight procession visited and serena-
ded Little Mac, who made them a speech.
Of course everybody would like to know
what the Little N apoleou thought of his
brother General’s successes, and would
eagerly listen to catch every word he
uttered, in this hour of the flush of Un-
ion victory. , Here is what he said :
My friends :.,I cannot refrain from express-
ing my gratification for your kindness at
this demonstration in behalf of the Union,
the constitution, and the laws. I thank you
for the honor done me. You surely will
not expect me to address you at length at
this time, and will excuse me fornot making
a speech, and allow me to retire. Gentlemen
again I thank you, aud .bid you good night,
And that is all that Little Mac had
to say about Gen Sheridan’s victories l

consider him a perfect man, by any

he was inaugurated till this, an abiding

riotism ; and when the question ‘came
whether I would sustain him standing on
the platform adopted at Baltimore, or
sustain McClellan standing on the Chica-
go platform, I could not hesitate a mo-
ment.

Obituary .—J OSEPII MATIIER.
Kinsey, Mrs J M
Die%in Darien, Sept. 27, after a brief ill-
ness, OSEI'II MATDER, Esq, 75 yours of age,
wanting three days. Few men in Darien
possessed the confidence of the entire com-
munity to a greater extent than he. Re-
markably modest and diffldeut, he never
thrust himself into notice, but was so appre-
ciated by the people of the town, that they
often conferred on him its highest honors.
Uniformly upright and honorable, and hon-
est in his dealings with others, he won their
highest esteem. As a christian, he was
always at his post, and faithfully performed
his various duties, Every morning and eve-
ning witnessed his ramily devotions. He was
always in the Sanctuary on tthabbath, and
at the Lectures and Prayer Meetings of the
church. No man was earlier in his .seat at
the church than he, or more devotional while
there. He was always ready to hear his
part, in sustaining the institutions of religion
at home, and in sending the gospel to the
destitute abroad. As we might have expect.
ed, his end was calm and peaceful. As
death approached he gave his dying coon-i
sels to his wife and children, and commend-t
ed them and the church to God in prayer.
We are constrained to adopt the language of
the Psalmest, “Mark the perfect man, and
behold the upright; for the end of that man
of peace.” E. D. K.
