The' Fair.
As we confidently predicted, our last Ag-
ricultural Exhibition has proved la most
creditable advance upon any proceeding 0'18-
The zeal and interest manifested by the Far-
mers and the. town's people, argue well f?"
the future, while the pecuniary results must
set at rest any doubts heretofore existing as
to the financial policy of a permanent locao
tion. The receipts are largely in excess of
any farther year, and the display in almost
every department equal, and in most» cases
superior to any hitherto held. We have
neither space not time to particularize each
Individual exhibitor who merits special no-
tice, as we would be glad to do—and yet at
the risk of omitting many most worthy of
our praise, we shall venture a brief and cur-
sory reference to a few prominently in mind
as weghurriedly write. For the rest we re-
fer to the carefully revised Premium List,
published herewith.
First, of Grain and Grass Seeds, the show
was not what it might have been, but most
creditable in its limited specimens. .
Second, the display of Garden Vegetables
was splendid.” Stamford takes the two high-
est premiums, and Dr. Lynes of Norwalk,
the third. .John Ryan, gardener to Oliver
Hoyt, presented about 120 varieties of the
choicest esculents grown in the garden, and
bore off the premium for the largest variety.
John, Moir, gardfiler to J. B. Hoyt, takes
the second premium for greatest variety and
best quality. .
Third, the show of fruit was far in excess
of what any one could have reasonably sup-
posed. The Season has been anything but
propitious for fruits, and yet we never saw
better specimens of the leading fruits, or a
larger show of leading varieties. Capt. Ste-
phen Hoyt & Sons bear off the first prize
for largest and best display of Apples, D. D.
Coley, of Weston, taking the second. T. B.
Wakeman, of Westport, takes the first pre-
mium on largest variety of Pears, and John
H. Smith, South Norwalk, the second. Of
Hot-house propagations, the Hoyt Brothers
again take the lead, and we desire here to
express in behalf of every friend and visit-
or at the Fair, a profound sense of obliga-
tion to those gentlemen for the chief share
.3 contributed by them in this department.—
John Ryan, the gardener of Mr. Oliver Hoyt,
takes the premium for the largest collection
of Hot-house Grapes, and John Moir, gard-
ener for J. B. Hoyt, takes the premium for
the best collection, and also for the best sin-
gle bunch of Hot-house Grapes, while the
Wakeman Brothers, of Westport, have the
largest and best collection of out-door cul-
ture. The advance in our County in Fruit
culture is very marked and encouraging.
Fourth, the floral display was unprece-
dentedly gorgeous. The Hoyt Brothers, and
George Waterbury, of Stamford, again ta-
king the lead.
Ft'fth, Bread, Dairy, Pickles and Preserves,
was fully represented, and many specimens
were exquisitely fine.
Sixth, Ladies Industrial Department was
largely and most creditably represented.
Seventh, Domestic Manufactures received
more than ordinary attention. Samples of
cloth from the new Norwalk Mills, from the
Union Company’s Works, 050., were a mark-
ed aud creditable feature.
Eighth, the Farming Utensils were not ex-
tensively exhibited but were creditable, and
many new implements shown.
Ninth, Norwalk had out a train of 42
oxen, every pair of which would doubtless
have commanded a premium at any New
York State Fair. Of the single yokos, there
were at least a dozen pairs which it must
have bothered the committee exceedingly to
have determined which was best. Jonathan
Camp had a pair of fat cattle weighing 5200
lbs. We never saw prettier or more perfect-
] y modeled oxen at any show, either County,
State or National. Said one old farmer in
our hearing, “I could’nt have turned that
. ox out smoother in a lathe,” and we were
equally sure he couldn’t. Said another yeo-
man, “that ox has been sled, or he wouldn’t
shine so.” The working cattle were the
finest ever seen in this county.
Tenth, the Sheep were in numbers and in
quality the best ever shown in this County.
Many were from direct imported lineage,
and some few of transatlantic origin. The
Swine were unusually fine. One pen of the
old-fashioned Berkshire breeds attracted
marked commendation. The show of Poul-
try was. larger and better than ever before
since the days of Barnum’s management.
Mr. A. Selleck, of this town, took the pre-
mium for largest variety. He had some
splendid trios of rare breeds, including a trio
of “ Golden Hamburgs” which he recently
imported. Mr. S. might have made a larger
display as his fowls are all of the best breeds.
Eleventh, Bulls, Cows and Calves were
plentifully displayed and of rare excellence.
One of the former, belonging to Mr. Morris
Ketchum, but three years old, was remarka-
bly fine.
Tloelfth, the show of Horses was very
large and many specimens were very fine_
Nevertheless, in a County which can pour
out ten thousand people, as was the case
last Thursday, to see horses, we hope here-
after to see many very much finer, faster and
more valuable horses than were seen at this
exhibition. In this hope we do not desire
to derogate from, the undeniable merits of
most of thelarge number of horses exhibit-
ed. .
Thirteenth, the Plowing Match was very
sensibly dispensed with, and as an offset a
spiritedly'contested trot was gotten up be-
tWeen Henry Bishop’s Horse and a New
York horse in which the latter won.
The Fair opened on Tuesday evening,
with prayer by Rev. 0. W. Gates. Presi-
dent Plumb: delivered the Opening Address
On Wednesdayevening Gen. Ferry deliver:
ed a short address, and on Thursday evening
short speeches were made by Messrs. Carter
and Byingt‘on of Norwalk, and Mr. Brewer,
of New Haven. The Winslow Band and a
glee club were in attendance each evening.
Rev. Mr. Woodrufl‘, of Ridgefield, delivered
the Annual Address, which was received
with much’satisfaction.
Among the Goods exhibited by Norwalk
merchants,wenoticed large cases of Fancy
Articles, &c.,;by H. M. Prowitt, Boots and
Shoes, by Carier ; , Ribbons, &c., by Mrs. Tin-
dall & Bunting ; imported Cutlery and Silver
Plated Ware, by Joseph Shepherd; Crockery
and Glass Ware, by E W Smith & 00.; Cut-
lery. &c.,.from H. M. & J. T. Prowitt.
Miss Fannie Wardwell, of Stamford, who
ook the 1st premium last year on wild
Flowers, exhibited a very glarge boquet of
same, which came to late for competition.
The annual address was unusually able
and eloquent, and is to be published, as it
should be. _,._The music was by the Westport
Band, which acquittdddtself to the accept:
ance and delight of, fill._ The irrepressible

a general tearing up commenced, and own-
ers of melons, fruits, &c., were beseiged by
would-be purchasers. While most exhibitors
sold their fruit or took it home again, the
generous hearted John .Moir, Gardener for
Mr. J. B. Hoyt, of Stamford, dispensed his
entire lbt of valuable premium melons, veg-
etables, hot-house grapes, pears, peaches,
flowers, &c., to a most excited. anxious and
grateful crowd of ladies and gentlemen who
heseigcd him on every hand. Many a fair
lady bestowed her sweetest smiles upon him
in return for some precious offering, and he
no doubt realized that it is more blessed to
give than to receive. In this connection we
would tender him our most hearty thanks
for his liberal remembrance of the primal.
May his days in the land be long, and may
they be days of pleasantness and prosperity.
The printer is also indebted to Mrs. J. S.
Jones, of Westport, for a jar of premium
preserved Peaches. These peaches are put
up 'in Griffins patent air-tight Cans, glass,
‘Wllich can beprocured of Mr. Jones. The
peaches look as fresh and good as when
first put.up over a month ago.
Saturday’s Trot.
A trot for an outside purse of $109 came
06‘ on Saturday, between “Fun"' entered by
a Mr. Sammis, of Brooklyn, and “Rocket”
entered by H. BishOp, of Bridgeport, best
three beats in five, which was won by “Fun.”
Time—first heat, 2.44, 2d 2.49, 5th 2.46.
Another race for the money taken at the
Gate, came off between sorrel horse of Dick
Sherwood’s and bay horse of H. F. Guthrie's

G‘Brobably no one feature of the Fair
attracted greater interest than the new por-
celain photographs taken by Whitney &

more at length hereafter.

LAST Tum—Owing to the high price of
coal, and the dimculty of getting it at any
price, the Steamboat John Romer has been
compelled to haul off for the season, and
makes her last trip down on Wednesday.
Capt. Brett proposes to bring the boat on the
route again in the Spring and keep her on
permanently.

Q‘One of the most pleasing features of
the Fair was the superior toned 6 Octave
Piano cased Melodeon exhibited and played
by J. M. Potter, of Danbury. Mr Potter has
sold a large nunber of these delightful in-
struments about the county and in every in-
stance they have given satisfaction. As they
cost but about 1-4 as much as a piano, they
are. within the reach of almost any family
and we hope to see the evidence of a grow-
ing refinement exhibited in his selling hun-
dreds more to our citizens.

[S‘The Bridgeport people broke ground
for the New Horse Railway to run between
Fairfield and Stratford, on Tuesday last.
Speeches were made on the occasion by
Messrs Sandford, Morris, Thomas and
Bishop. Just as they got ready to commence
work, some forty Irishmen struck for higher
wages and were met with a prompt dis-
charge. The iron for the road, has been
bought, and four cars already built.

WAmong the new inventions which at-
tracted attention at the Fair, was a patent
Burner for burning Kerosene or Coal Oil in
lamps with no chimneys. These burners
can be used on any ordinary lamps and
Kerosene can be burned without smoking,
and carried round the house as freely as when

Busmnss Cannon—Mr. Chas. E. Doty,
Grocer, Main Street, has taken into partner-
ship with him, Mr. Joseph E. Morehouse,
of Darien, recently a Lieutenant in the 17th
Regiment. As ofiicers in the Army, they did
their duty faithfully, and we trust our citi-
zens will encourage them by liberal patron-
age.

PICKPOCKETS did a very good business at
the Fair especially on Thursday, but we do
not hear of much money being lost. Several
pocket books were found in the bushes on
Friday which had been rifled of their contents
and thrown away. In one case,however,the
thieves overlooked $5, which the owner
can have by calling at this office and proving
property.

WA new fire-proof Safe manufactured
expressly for the Town of Norwalk, by
Messrs. Stearns and Marvin, was received at
the Town Clerk’s office, last week, and is
now filled with Town Records. The Safe is
quite large and we understand is valued at
$575,but actually cost the town but $500.
Mr W. C. Street through whom the safe was
bought gave in his commission of $50 and
influenced S. do M. to throw off the other
$25. A good investment.

discovered off the harbor, and the excitement
among oysterme‘n runs high. The New
York World says, “for the past few days
hundreds of sloops and small boats have
been engaged in working a thousand dredg-
es, and hauling up thousands of bushels of
the rich bivalves. The bed is located two
or three miles from the shore, and is nearly
opposite Shippan Point. It '3 reported to
exceed in extentthe bed whic was discov-

are of most excellent quality, most of them
of the proper age and growth necessary to
make them fit for immediate use.”

at New York last Saturday from Liverpool,
landed over 150 artisans and factory hands
from England and Ireland, who come to
seek employment in the great manufacting
centres of the New England States. These
people come from Bradford, Manchester,
Huddersfield and Belfast, and are destined
for Lowell, Lawrence, Lynn, Waltham and
Boston, Mass,; Providance, R. I., and New

that we take pleasure in reccommending to
our readers. For all money deposited now,
