New Fair Grounds.
That the Fairlield County Agricultural
Society have done a wise thing in making a
permanent location will be demonstrated, we
think, in the approaching exhibition. The
grounds are capacious, and are peculiarly
convenient of access from all quarters, and
remarkably favorable for the construction of
a superior track for trial of horses. This is
after all, the popular drawing andpayt’ng fea.
». ture of all annual shows and too much pains
1
' Cannot be‘taken in making a firm, smooth
and lasting road bed. The erection of water
tight and thief-proof buildings will also draw
out for exhibition many articles too delicate
and too valuable to be risked under a shaky,
leaky, fickety canvass tent. Mr. Camp,
President of the Society, is devoting his time
and energies to the utmost to have every-
thing in complete order for the approaching
exhibition. A high and permanent board
fence is now being erected around the entire
grounds. An exhibition Hall, 100x60 feet is
to be immediately erected—a side track and
platform for passengers is also to be con—
structed by the Danbury Railroad for con—
venience of access to the cars. The main
entrance gate will nearly front the entrance
to St. Mary’s Cemetery, while an exit is pro-
vided, running across the track and out up-
on Main Street‘s few rods north of the resi-
denc of ,Mr. J bseph Stebbins. From a care-
fuli spection of these grounds we can can,
ceiygut one material improvement that can -
be e, and that would be the purchase of
the Mat of land bounded by the river and
railroad track and running out at the road
and bridge leading past the Mrs. Hubbell’s
homestead to Silver Mine. This would
somewhat improve the form of track and al.
low a second entrance gate which would
greatly convenience visitors from Winni-
pauk, Silver Mine and New Canaan.

Wet, Wet.
What ajolly, rollicking time old Noah
would have had could he only have lived
till the present summer. Rain, Rain, RAIN,
has been the constant and incessant visita-
tion. What a harvest for umbrella vendors,
and hornet’s nests for poor wights whose
wives live under leaky roofs! How the
farmers have dodged the showers in harvest-
ing is more than we can conjecture. We
suspect that rusty hay, oats and rye wrll
abundantly prevail even though the dripping
clouds should now “dry up." Everybody
forced outside, have become confirmed
“soakers,” and the elements serm to have
gone into perpetual “liquidation.” Scientif-
ic people make out that if the next five
months shoult’ be as moist as preceding
seven, the agflgate fall of water will be an
average depth of over five feet; a greater
fall than in any year within the memory of
man. The N. Y. Evening Post says that du-
ring the month ofJuue the amount of water
that fell on the surface of Manhattan Island
was One billion, two hundred and twelve
millions, five hundred and ninety-one thou-
sand, two hundred and sixty-four barrels.
The'rainiall of 1866 was 48.22. For the
first seven months of 1966 it was 27.04. For
the first seven of 1867 it was 38.50.

with. George G. Bishop, who hasa spec-
ial weakness for successful horticulture,
treated himself to the first cropping of green
table corn this season, in these parts. We
presume his corn like our Own costs him a
shilling an ear, but it is some satisfaction to
win agricultural success even at that cost.

be rapidly pushed forward to completion.—

WOur friend W. B. Bartram who has

which it will be remembered uprooted trees
and demolished corn so extensively here-
abouts. During the progress Of the tempest,
said by navigators to have been the sever,
est for many years, neighbor B. came to the
conclusion that the author of “Life on the
Ocean Wave," must have been either a “land
lubber,”_or an idiot. His steamer weathered
the gale, however, and docked him safely in
Gotham. He speaks enthusiastically of the
confessed superiority of the American Ma-
chinery Department, over all competitors
and particularly of the attention the Norwalk
Iron Works Pumps attracted, but that, with
hundreds of other triumphs of Yankee in-
ventive skill, had’no one to explain its quali-
ties and interest the crowd of eager specta-
tors constantly surrounding it.

The storm which has for a year or more f
been brewing between the President and his !
War Minister has finally burst forth In the .
following curt note from the Presxdent and
the equally curt and laconic reply irom Mr.
ExECUTIvn MANSION,
Stanton :—
WAsnrNcTON, August, 5, 1867, i
To EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War:
SIR—Grave public considerations con-
strain me to request your resignation as See-
retary Of War.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
President of the United States.
” l
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Pres-
- WAerINoTON, August 6, 1867.
To His Excellency, ANDREW JOHNSON,
ident of the United States:—
SIa—Your note informing me that grave
public considerations constrain you to re-
qucst my resignation as Secretary of War
has been received. In answer I have to_ state
that grave public cansideraiions constrain me
to continue in the office of Secretary of War
until the next meeting of Congress.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
While the exact position 01 Secretary
Stanton has been questioned before the coun-
try, we have personal knowledge Of the fact
be has been entreated to remain in the pabi-
netjust as long as he said endure it, by Ina-
ny of the most radical Republican members of
both Houses oiCongM-hc Hon. John
Covode is our authority for stating a fact nev-
er before published, so far as we know, that
about the ti . President‘s ofiicious and
wanton encdura given to the New
Orleans rebels and murderers, who, in cold
blood had shot down the union men of that
city for no crime but loyalty to the govern-
ment, he called upon Mr. Stanton and in con-
versation touching the astounding attitude
of the President in regard to this affair and
his affectation wi ehels and their cause in
general, the bu . iuister’s eyes filled
with tears (“I'd-~11“ uy of spirit heremark
ed—“I have seen‘dafk days during the war.
I have seen more than two millions of men in
the field and have the records in this Depart-
ment of six hundred thousand Of them filling
patriot graves, yet no calamity in my judg-
ment has ever yet beiallcn the countryso
dark, so mysterious and so threatening as the
attitude of this‘PresidenrJ’ ,
We presome it is also a fact well known
that it was the Secretary’s and Gen. Grant‘s
admonitions ofdanger from this same, bold,
bad man, that caused Congress to change its
time ofreconvening. Before the close of the
last Congress it was well understood that
Andrew Johnson was ready to venture to
any daring extr e of opposition to the will
of Congress and tDc people, that promised
him success. And that Cong‘ itself, has
not been driven out of Washington,as threats,
erred so often by copperhead leaders, is owing
more to the President’s “I dare not, than I
would not." His deserti‘o’n of all his patri-
otic professions and utterances, more than his
descrtion of party friends have rendered Pres-
ident Johnson the most miserable of men.
His disappointed ambition, and empty cup of
Official honors goad him on to the perpetra-
tion of continued stultificalions and follies,
which only exhibit his stubbbrn wickedness
of heart to the people and sting hisown soul
to madness. ,.
During the years Ofthe' " ,in our vocation
as journalist, we had repeated, almost daily,
opportunities of personally witnessing the
rare sagacity, the bold, daring, unbending
integrity, and infiexlbile impartia.‘ of Sec-
retary Stanton. We know, too, how Presi-
dent Lincoln revered him, loved him,almost
reverenced him, and while we would not
commend him as a patern of social amia-
bility at all times, we conscientiously belieVe
that to no living man do- the American
people owe so large a debt of gratitude as to
this same EDwIN M. STANTON.

National Horse Fair.
The citizens Of Springfield, Mass. who in-
augurated the first and largest, and most
successful, national horse exhibition ever
witnessed in this or any other country, have
made preparations for another on the 27th,
28th, 29th and 30th of'this mouth on even a
grander scale than the first. Some ten
thousand dollars in premiums are offered
and most of the noted horses in the country
are to be present. The Spragues, of Provi-
dence, have recently filled up an enormous-
iy expensive trotting park near Providence
where a very fine and succesful horse c xbi-
bition has just closed. The difference be-
tween the Hampdcn Park Exhibition at
Springfield and the one recently held at
Narraganset Park, is this ; at the latter none
butjusl horses were in competition and all
know the prevailing characters that
join a mere horse racrng exhibition. At
Springfield while the speed of thouroughly
trained horses is a prominent feature, horses
of every description and of all classes are al-
so exhibited and constitute the leading fea-
tures of the show. As carriage, Saddle,
Family and Farm horses constitute the
greater necessity of the country, the effort is
made to stimulate improvement and excel-
lence in these departments. In consequence
Hampden Park is always graced by the most
respectable and genteel ladies and ‘ gentle-
men of the country. From pastexperience,
we promise that the coming show will well
repay a visit to Springfiield. A number of
our citizens have already booked themselves
fer the exhibition.

WWe would call attention to the adv.
of'Dr. Lockwood, son of Win. 8. Lockwood
Esq. Our young friend has had Iar more
than usual advantages in tbgacqirircincnt of
professional knowledge, having visited all
the great Hospitals of France and England
as well )5 of his own country and made
himself familiar with their mode of treat-
ment. V
South Norwalk.
We accidentally found ourselves one
day last week in that locality joculary
dubbed “Whistleville,” at the south-
ern extremity of South Norwalk. Here at
aspot of romantic roughness if not of ex-.
cessive beauty, have been and are now bc-.
ing erected some twenty residences and all.
within a few months past. The historic and
vegetable wonder of J onah's gourd has more
than found its counterpart in this sudden im-
provising of a suburban village to South
Norwalk. The same number of houses on
a Western prairie would ensure a “city char-
ter," mayor, common council. aldermen,
baud orgaii and monkey, but here in staid
Norwalk, so quietly do these architectural
creations cover the earth that no special in-
terest is evoked thereby. This enterprise is
the result, we believe, of Capt. Bailey’s sa-
gacily and foresight. The Capt. purchased
these rocks and briars cheap and has cut it
up into small lots—selling ,tbem cheap,
hence these neat little cottages for the pro-
ducing citizens of Norwalk—tlie men who
do our labor, and whose families spend the
weekly salary at our stores and shops,
thus keeping capital in circulation and bene-
fiting all—the very best class of our popula-
tion, so far as village prosperity is concern-
ed.
Mr. Dickcrman is vigorously at work on
his new brick store on Washington Street.—
The gravel from the cellar is being used to
fill up that and Water Street, in accordance
with a recent vote of the town. Mr. Dib-
ble’s stores adjacent to Lucas Hotel are slow-
ly‘progressin‘g. The New Iron Works struc-
ture is nearly completed. Gen. Guycr has
enlarged his pottery works near the Railroad
bridge and introduced a new and substantial
kiln. Speaking of this bridge,—our authori_
ties should cause a wideningpf the abutment
so that carriages may more safely pass under
it while traversing Water street,which when
completed will prove a very pleasant drive:
way.
Messrs. Crowc, Fox, Allen, and others are
and have been'ndding to the building wealth
Of' flown. And yet the great, impervious
(let (I, both at Norwal-k and South Nor-
walk, is more houses for the people to live in.
The new bridge was to have been Opened
for carriage driving on Saturday, but as the
legend runs, one of the “Committee” is be-
hind on his contract to adjust the east abut-
ment. The work will soon be accomplished
however and when this thoroughfare is open
a new era will down upon Norwalk.

specimen be was about sending in. Soon
appeared Mr. J. N. Wise beating aloft a glass
dish containing a “perfect brick,”—not one
of the red things lying so thickly around us
at pnesent,—but a form of lemon ice and va-
nilla Ice cream. It was a beautiful combina-
tion, and most delicious to the taste, as was
evinced by its quick disappearance. Both
cream and ice were of the finest quality.
Mr. W. has certainly proved himself an ar-
tist, and Messrs. Douglass do Mead may well
feel proud of dispensing such delicious arti-
cles.

TIIE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD—OPEN
425 MILEs.-A few weeks since we noticed
the opening of the Union Pacific Railroad to
J ulcsburg, 377 miles west of Omoba, and we
now have to report its completion to Crow
Creek, a point 48 miles further west, making
a total of 425 miles. Fifty miles of track in
addition are graded ready for the iron, and
there is no doubt of the completion of the
road to the base of the Rocky Mountains
early in the Fall. The Company are confi-
dent that the whole line to the Pacific will be l-
open forbusiness in 1870. The Indians have
annoyed the surveying parties and tie-cptters,
who are many hundred rules in advance of
the work; but they have a whlocsomc fear
of the population that a railroad carries with
it, and all trains run without interruption.
The business of the Company has been
most flattering. The earnings for the quar-
ter ending August Ist, were about $700,000;
but as the report for thc'last week in July
has not been received, the exact fraction can-
not bc given. These earnings accrued from
operating an average of not more than 350
miles of road, and after deduutiug operating
expenses, the balance is far in excess of the
interest obligations Of theCompany on the
amount of bonds they can issue on that dis-
tance. It should be remembered that this
result is from a way business alone, through
anew country, and is not to be compared
with the vast through business that must fol-
low the t peniug of the whole line to the Pa-
cific. The success of the enterprise seems
to be thoroughly assured, and we can see no
reason why the First Mortgage Bonds are
not entitled to rank among the best securities.
The daily sales are now so large, that the
Company already entertain the idea of ad-
vancing the price.

the youngest in her arms and held her head
above water, while both called lustily for
help. A gentleman ran to their assistance
and tried to climb down the dock to the boat
when a woman living in James’ Building
came up and seeing that there was no time
to lase, jumped from the dock into the boat,
sud saved the children. The woman and
the oldest child deserve credit for their
pluck.

WA picnic party of about forty ladies
and gentlemen went off on the Nelly White
last Wednesday, and were landed at Sand's
Point, L. I., where they spent the time as
pleasantly as possible until the return of the
Steamer. While they seemed pleased with
the Steamboat and the excursion generally,
they do not recommend other parties to stop
at the same place.

ECONOMY IN TEAS AND Courses—We call
the especial attention of our readers to the
advertisement which appears in this weeks
GAzuTTE, of The Great United States Tea
Warehouse, Messrs. T. Y. Kelley Sr 00.; the
proprietors are selling their Teas and Cd-
fees to the. people, at Wholesale prices.
Their goods are warranted, and in all cases
may be returned where perfect satisfaction
is not given. We believe there is no doubt
that Consumers may procure a much better
article of Tea or Coffee, and certainly at
much cheaper rates than they are accustom-
ed to pay, getting their goods from retail
dealers in the country. Quite a number of
our people have already bought Teas and
Cofiecs from this house, in New York, and
willbcar us out in our remarks. It will be
seen that Messrs. Richards d5 Dakc, have no
ceptcd the agency for the sale of the goods
Of the Great U. S. Tea Warehouse, in Nor.
walk and vicinity. Of these gentlemen it is
unnecessary for us to speak ; they are well
known to our citizens, and we trust that
people will encourage the enterprise by giv-
ing thorn a fair share of their patronage.
Those who have large families to provide
for, will consult their own interests, by giv-
ingthcir Teas and Coffees a fair trial.

Dr. Sch enck on Dyspepsia.
SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND REMEDY
Symptoms of Dyspepsia—A sense of fullness,
tightness, and weight in the stomach, together with
llarulcncy, acidity, sour, offensive belching of wind,
water-brash and vomiting, and a great deal of what
a person calls an all-gone feeling at the pit of the'
stomach ; frequently there is also a palpitation of
the heart, which physicians mistake for heart dis-
ease, and when the stomach is in this condition it is
coated with a mucus or slime. The rough, fibrous
portion of the stomach, similar to what we see in
tripe, is what throws out the gastric juice, and when
the stomach gets a thick coat of slime on it, it pre-
vents the gastric juice from flowing, and digestion
ceases. Schenck’s seaweed tonic dissolves this mu-
cus or slime, and restores the stomach to its natural
condition.
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills are also required to carry
off this morbid matter. Twothirds of the cases of
Consumption are caused from this diseased state of
the stomach; the liver becoming torpid ceases to
throw out bile, and in a short time the whole system
is dcranrrcd. The mucus membrane of the bron-
chial tribes sympathizcs with the other organs and
before the patient is aware of it, he or she has Ion-
chial or u monary Consumption.
Schenc "s I’ulmonic Syriip cannot not freely through
the blood when the system is in this locked-up con-
dition, without the aid of the Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. The Liver has all the venous blood
to strain, and when it gets in amorbid condition
blood and bile run through the system mixed. on
the whole body becomes so low, and the blood so
thick it can hardly run through the veins. III a ma-
jority of cases hemorrhages occur from this thick
condition of the blood. The Mandrake Pills act on
the Liver similar to calomel, or they do what that
does—It unlocks the gall bladders, starts the bile,
and the blood begins to circulate naturally through
the veins, and the hemorrhages cease. If when per-
sons arc attacked with hemorrhage, they would first
take a good purgative, something that would act on
the liver, they would soon be relieved from
bleeding from the lungs, and it is the only way, for
astringents are only temporary, and irritate the bron-
chial tubes, and lay the groundwork for consumption
