Editorial Letter.
THE SARATOGA COUNTY FAIR.
SARATOGA, Sept. 12th, 1868.
- DEAR GAZETTE :——I have been a critical
student at the Saratoga County Agricultural
Society’s Annual Fair, held here during
the past week—not because of its distinctive
merits as an agricultural exhibition, for I
have been unable to discover in what par—
ticular its name bears any just relation to
the reality. The weather has been exceed-
ingly annoying. Not rainy enough to war-
rant its munagers to postpone the exhibi-
tion, nor even to deter the people from at-
tending in large numbers, and yet for three
days there has been such a constant suc-
cession of copious showers, with interme-
diate drizzles, at times, as to render every-
thing wet, muddy, and generally uncomfort-
able and disagreeable to the last degree.
This condition of the weather may have
had something to do in causing the deficien-
cies I propose to criticise. The fair, be it
understood, is the County Agricultural So-
ciety‘s show. And yet, as a matter of fact,
in any one department Where horticulture,
agriculture or floricultnre had any exposi-
,tion, there were not a tenth partof the im-
proved mechanical appliances of the farm,
the products of good husbandry, or even of
passable cattle, swine, or poultry, that can
be found any day on the grounds, under the
sheds, or in the barnyards of Capt. Stephen
Hoyt, of New Canaan. In short, there was
a total and absolute absence of everything
going to make up a truly agricultural exhi-
bition. There were less than a dozen head
Of really superior cattle, no implements of
industry, no fruits or flowers worth the
mention, and yet the fair is deemed a great
success by its managers, and to show they
are not peeuniarily mistaken, the Society’s
treasury is fortified by the admissions of
over eight thousand people in a single day.
The question will be eagerly asked—what,
then, was there to so draw out the multi-
tudes of people, despite the most disagree-
able weather? We answer promptly—the
horse! This fair, here in the centre of this
vastly rich country, abounding in . herds of
the finest cattle, with much new interest de-
veloped in sheep, with a‘ fruit yield unknown
to any of the New England States, with all
the wealth, refinement and taste of this
world, (1 summer resort, with a superb
enclosure and buildings for fine art, imple-
ment and animal, and yet without a decent
exponent in any one of these departments,
and yet eight thousand eager people rush
into the enclosure, and remain standing
under upraisedkumbrcllas in mud shoe-deep
for hours, for what ?—simply and solely to
see the horse trots I -
It is because this tendency is not confined
to this society that I .make' so elaborate a
note of it. Are we not in Connecticut tend-
ing rapidly in the same direction? Who is
there that was present at the grandiy-an-
nounced New England Fair, held at New
Haven, that did not discover that every-
thing except horse racing was of secondary
interest to the public, and consequently to
the managers? [We are soon to have an-
other County Fair iu Norwalk. Is it a vain
hope that something may be done this year
to check the growing tendency at our own
exhibitions, painfully manifest at pur last
fair, and for many years past, indeed? The
Fairfield County Society has done as much
and probably more than any other similar
organization in Connecticut to awaken a
lively interest in matters purely agricultural.
It has stimulated the most encouraging
rivalry in fruitaud grain growing, in beauti-
fied and improved homesteads, in the use of
improved mechanical instruments of hus-
bandry, &c., &c., and it is a shame, and
would be a lasting reproof, if this Society,
standing Q justly pro-eminent, should de-
generate into a low horse-racing exhibition-
1 know I shall be met by the “fast” men
and boys, who see nothing but the most in-
tensc delight in the whipping and straining
of some poor overwrought horse into a pace
its Maker never designed itfor. Many man-
agers, too, yield to thehorse impulsebecause.
itf‘draws” and “pays.” Oh, there's the rub.
It PAYS. Thousands are attracted miles to
a horse race who would not cross the street
to see the finest cattle, sheep,or swine, or the
the most exquisite specimens of skillful
handiwork or mechanism. The managers
are not slow to discern this element in the
popular taste and a. mistaken sense, as I
think, Of duty to the'socicty’s exchecquer of-
ten, and indeed generally, leads to devoting
the chief part of each succeeding Fair to the
Horse Race. Bull Baiting in old Spain, was
universally “popular,” and even now “pays”
remuneratively. Cock-fighting in New York
also “draws,” but is it well to encourage a
taste in itself depraved and vicious because it
pays? I yield to no man in admiration of
the horse and all its noble qualities. Nor
would I write ought to discourage any gen-
tleman from owning and trottinghis fleet foot.
ed steed, if he owns one. The most enjoy-
able exhibition of speed last year, however,
was that of Mr. Ketchum, of Westport, and
and Mr. Smith of Stamford, who as gentle-
men and like gentlemen took the track with
their fast trotters, driving themselves and
indulging their horses in a spirited contest
in which the horses enjoyed the rapture as
much as the drivers. How different this
from and indeed nearly all that followed,
where poor steeds were pushed to the ut-
most limit Of their speed and eIQIrance, and
showing at the end of the race a punishment
that should touch the heart of any one not
hardened in cruelty. Nor do the bancful
and demoralizing efi'orts end here, the spirit
, of gambling is ever rife on such occasions,
until betting money, and horse racing
are known to be inseperable vices. If I
could dictate at the coming fair, while I
would not ignore speed, one of the most val-
nablc qualities Of the horse, I would require
every fast horse owner to drive his own an-
imal. The “Hi-hi-hi’s"—and rowdy yells of
the semi-savage professional driver should
not be heard onlour track. The class offam-
ily horses, farm horses, colts and brood
mares and their highest developments should '
engage a greater share of attention, and the
prevalent abominations of jockey racing
should be discouraged.
Had the Fair here been denominated a
“Horse Trot’.’ and so advertised, it would
have been correctly characterized and in
that light a brilliant success. Many superb
trotting animals were on the ground. Our
old Mend Griffin, of Middletown, has his
Connecticut River bays on track. My own
Pathfinder challenges equal attention. A
resident friend has a. pair of large sorrels
full sixteen hands high, capable of making
2:35 to the pole. Yesterday he declined $10
000 for the pair from aNew York City jock-
ey, for the simple reasons that he was able
to own and keep them, and he would not
lét so valuable a pair of steeds pass into the
. possession of gambling rowdies to be abused
and mined as all good horses in the hands '
of jockeys ultimately are.
As this was essentially and in every par-
ticfilar a horse race, so it was meet that HO-

is attested by one of his own political
confidents. His speech ignored politics and
was of the beatific and glittering generali-
ties order. It was observable that more
persons surrounded the side-shows of enor-
mous “snaix and huge fat woman," than
were in attendance at the orators stand. A
local writer says he came here not to draw
patriotic inspiration from the historic fields
of the Revolution, but to discourse in his
matchless rhetoric on the virtues of beets
and pumpkins. But of all his characters
there is none so simple and becoming as that
of the Former of Dccrlicld. It is when, like
Cincinnatus, he lays down the cares Of State
and returns to gaze with pastoral rapture
upon his princely potato patch and to survey
with tearful sympathy his succulent onion
bed, that his true greatness becomes conspic-
ous. If he boastsfthat he is not a bond-hold-
er, he equally boasts that he is a plow-hold-
or, and while his sensitive honor compels
him always to decline the calls of his coun—
try, his agrarian taste invariably urges him
to accept the calls of agriculture.
It was therefore, eminently fit that Gov.
Seymour should deliver the address. We
know Gov. Seymour‘s extraordinary capac-
ities. We know that While he understands
the science of shearing sheep, he is also a
consummate master in the art of makings.
greatpry and getting little wool. We know
that in the mysterious depths of a simple
watermelon he can cast the horoscope Of the
future, and penetrate the political situation.
Gov. Seymour while discoursing on the
tillage of the farm will subtly sketch an alle-
gorical picture of the Democracy. In dwol-
ling on the art of ditching, he will hint at
the parallel in the Democratic drains on the
Treasury. In explaining the cultivation of
grain, he will suggest the reason why Old
Rye is the chief staple among his “friends.”
It is a matter of deep rejoicing to the hu-
manitarian that Gov. Seymour 'fiuds such de-
light in agricultural pursuits. It will afford
the sovereign balm for the ,wouud to be in-
flicted upon him in November. He can then
retire to the shades ofDecrfield and enjoy in
uninterrupted repose the glories of the hen-
nery and the beauties of the barnyard. He
will scarcely need to have recourse to the
onion bed for the relief of his feelings, but in
the united charms Of his rustic home, in the
dairy and the chcesc-house, in the cattle-
yard and the pig-pen, he will find that en-
grossment of his mind, and that opportunity
for the practice of the theories he yesterday
pmountled at Saratoga, which will cause
him to forget the ingratitude OfRepublics
and Republicans." .
Hereabouts, where the ex-Governor is
personally known, he is pronounced by gen-
tlemen of all parties as a man of the highest
respectability in private life. Refined and
elegant in all that he utters or does, he has
not that enthusiastic hold on the "roughs"
of the party accorded to the Isaiah Rynders
and John Morrisseys. Republicans here
feel confident they will elect Griswold, if
they are not swindled more than 20,000 in
N. Y. 'city, and in the contest for Grant ad-
mit of no liability of failure. They are cer-
tainly in better drill and state Of organiza-
tionthan the Republicans of Connecticut.
Dr. Childs, S. E. Olmstead and wife, Mrs.
Chas. S. Lockwood and Mrs. Mervin Ray-
mond are here. The butterflies of fashion
have mostly departed, and the town is held
now by sensible invalids and sober-sided
comfort sedsers. But one cascof “Grecian
bend’L has been experienced this week. . In
this case the young miss had it bad. Un-
feeling wags avow that she was harnessed
with a sort of standing martingale beneath
the clothing, but this is a cruel invention of
the unappreciative and unfeeling men. The
young lady had undoubtedly eaten dzbeased
beef. There was no colic, or cholera, or
leather straps about it. The hip bones were
shot up above the line Of' the spine, just as
are the poor diseased beeves in the N. Y.
corralls. The symptomsare unmistakable.
Her recovery is doubtful, as the waters here
only aggravate the malady. Her only hope
is in her pa taking her home. To-day her
anatomy corresponds with one of those
wooden dancing jacks, when jerked by the
children to the top of the stick, with hip
joints far beyond the ears.

Boys in Blue.
A meeting was held at. the Republican
Head Quarters, last Tuesday evening, and
preliminary arrangements made for organi-
zinga company of the Boys in Blue. An-
other meeting is to be held this (Tuesday)
evening, where it is hoped the attendance
will be large. Time is short, and special ef-
forts should be made to complete the organ—
ization immediately and procure the neces-
sary equipments. A Company is being
formed at South Norwalk, and at least one
should be formed in every town in the State.
Use no red tape, but get the companies in
marching order as soon as possible.

WThe same spirit that instigates the

men were dangerously wounded by brick-
backs and ’other missiles. One young man,
it is feared, is fatally injured.

WThe Glenmorc Soap 00., of New

canal, just south Of the Union Factory, for
the purpose of catching the waste soap-suds
from the factory, to be made over into soap.
The water is pumped up from the canal into
the building, the soapy substance extracted
and sent to New York to be reconstructed.
They also send a three-wheeled wagon to
Winnipauk to get the suds from the factories
there, which water is brought to this build-

The State Convention.
’ The Republican State Convention for the
nomination of candidates for‘Presideutial
Electors was held in New Haven on Thurs-
day last. Hon. N. D. Sperry was chosen
temporary chairman. P.'S. Jacobs of Stam-
ford, Maj. Tibbils of New London and
Dwight Marcy of _T,olland were appointed
temporary Secretaries.
N. D. Sperry, of New Haven was appoint-
ed permanent president, and made a stirring
speech, which was received with enthusiasm.
Gen. Prat Pratt ofRocky Hill made a vig-
orous speech, when Senator Ferry was call-
ed for and was greeted with.checrs as he ap-
peared on the stage. He made a brief but
earnest speech. What the nation needed to—
day, he said,was two things, to establish
justice and make peace. (Applause) These
are the two great aims Of the republican
party. Without them we fall. With them
increased glory awaits the republic. Re-
construction must result in this desidera-
tum. The constitution of the United States
was drafted upon the principle of justice,
and to secure it Congress endeavors to re-
construct the south upon this grand consti-
tutional principle. The reorganization of
country must be based upon the right. No
serfdom, no ineqhality in man, no injustice.
(Enthusiastic applause.) Past wrongs must
not continue to exist. Every man born up-
on American soil must have equal rights
with the Other—the republic was based up-
on that principle. (Applause.) Upon the
President of the United States and upon the
rebels Of the South and the rebels of the
north rests the sin Of obstructing restoration
upon this grand principle. Once more, in
November, 1868, will a day of triumph for
the republic come. (Great applause.) Then
comes peace. This our grand leader tells
us is the great end to be attained. (Ap-
plause.) For all the purposes of restoring
what the war crippled or destroyed, we
must have peace. The republican party
and it alone must carry the banner of right,
and will carry it in the battlc’s van. . The
democratic party and its platform speak
nothing but blackness and ruin. Trades-
men, merchants, manufacturers, what hope
have you ifthe democratic party succeed in
November—trade paralyzed, Wade amp-
ton and Forrest, traitors, in place of sses
S. Grant, and confusion and chaos at the
south. But it must not be. Work, work !
(Applause) How will Connecticut go ?
That’s the question for -us. (Applause) The
spirit of this convention says Grant and Col-
fax will be elected. (Applause) How in
1864? A million of soldiers, brave, flung
back in the dust the promise of a base peace
by the cringing democracy and rebel allies
at the north, and marched forward to the
cannon’s fire for the establishment of the
Union upon the basis of eternal justice.
(Great applavse.) How is it now ? The old
rebel yell! The old cringing sycophancy
of northern democrats 1 But a million boys

ion, and will hear no word but Uncondi-

The following persons were nominated
for ~
ELEoTons AT LARGE.
Joseph R. Hawley of Hartford, William
Fitch of New Haven.
The following nominations for electors
were made from the several districts :
First congressional district, Clark Holt,
Vernon ; second do., Luther Boardmau,
East Haddam ; third do., Henry Bill, .Nor-
wich ; fourth dot, Geo. Dudley. Winsted.
The nominations were enthusiastically rat-
ified. .
The following resolutions were reported
by Professor Cyrus Northrop, chairman of
the committee. and adopted with cheers :
Resolved, That the Republicans of Con-
necticut heartly approve of the platform
adopted by the Republican Convention at
Chicago, and that they will give their united
and earnest support to the candidates ofthat
Colfax. .
Resolved, That the success of the Repub-
lican party in this contest means peace and
pros erity to the nation ; that the success of
the emocratic party means repudiation and
revolution, and in view of the bankruptcy
which must ensue if the programme of the
democratic leaders is carried out, we call
upon all honest and patriotic citizens to
sustain for President the man whose record
is his country’s glory, whose policy is peace
and whose name is victory ; and in full con-
fidence that the people from Maine to Cali-
fornia are rallying to his support, we here
pledge to Ulysses S. Grant the electoral vote
of Connecticut.
Prof. Northrop was called and made an
earnest and spirited speech. We can carry
Connecticut, he said. The revolutionary
doctrines of F. P. Blair will not permit old
Connecticut to cvote for disunion. ' Is the
name of Grant to be rejected fora Seymour?
No! The loyal men say, No! New Eng-
land is for Grant, and shall Connecticut be
the exception ? It cannOt be.
John F. Trumbull, of Stonington, follow-
ed with one of his characteristic humorous
speeches. William K. Peck also spoke hap-
pily and with effect. ’
With three ringing cheers for the candi-
dates and three more for the president of the
convention, the convention adjourned.

Letters from the People.
Resuscltatlon of the Drowned.
As there appears to be a general lack of
knowledge of the means which should be
immediately used for the recovery of per-
sons who have undergone submersion in
water, it may be proper to say something
on the subject for the benefit of the general
public. A knowledge of the methods used
for resuscitating the drowned should be
communicated to all persons, as very often
much valuable time is lost in finding a phy-
'sieian, and so exertions for recovery are not
made sufficiently early. When a person is
taken from the water, the legs and body
should be immediately held higher than the
head, in order to allow the lungs and air
passages to be emptied of water and frothy
mucus. The mouth and nostrils should be
wiped dry, and the tongue should be drawn
forward, while the body is turned upon
its face, and pressure made with both hands
on the back part of the chest on each side
of the spine. The lungs having been com-
preSsed in this manner, the pressure should
he suddenly removed, and the body turned
quickly upon its back, when the chest will
re-expand, and then will occur an influx -Of
air into the lungs, in consequence of the
vacuum produced in. the chest by the re-
expanding of its walls by their own elastici-
'ty. The body should at once he again turn-
ed upon its face, and the same pressure ap-
plied as at first, followed by the same sud-
den turning upon its back as before. This
should be done twenty, thirty, or even forty
times per minute. The natural respirdtions
are only eighteen per minute, but in case of
resuscitation our object is to expose the
blood in the lungs to the action of the air
more rapidly than in health, and as we can-
not introdncc by artificial means the same
amount of air that is taken in by natural
efforts, we must increase the number of our
'respirations. There are other methods of
causing artificial respiration which are not
perhaps so generally applicable as the one
spoken of above. One method is by blow-
ing in the sufl‘erer‘s month, while the nose is
held, and in this way the lungs are inflated
with air,’ which may be expelled by the
natural resiliency of the chest walls, aided
by compression with the hand over the cen-
tral and lower part of the chest, just below
the end of the breast-bone, and over the
whole chest. There is also now still another
and very promising method lately proposed
in France, which is as follows:
The mouth being closed and covered by
. the hand, a tube of any kind—even of a
tobacco pipe—should be introduced into one
of the nostrils, and both nbstrils pressed
firmly against the tube, which should be
blown into with sufficient force to drive air
into the lungs, when the chest will be seen
to swell. The .hand being then removed
from the mouth, and the tube being taken
from the nostril, respiration will take place,
which 'should be aided by compression on
the chest, as in the method above. These
manoeuvres should be repeated at least a
dozen times, when, if there is any life in the
body, the heart will begin to beat.
» W. A. LOCEWOOD, M. D.
Mussns. EDITons :'—Wc desire, through
your columns, to speak one more word to
the Civil Authority of Norwalk,ffthere really
is any civil-authority in this place.
The open and defiant rowdyism, the
shameless vulgarity, the brazen profanity,
and the glaring licentiousness which abound
in our midst call loudly for prompt and effi-
cient attention on the part of the Civil Au-
thority. ,
One can scarcely walk these streets, either
by night or day, without encountering some
drunken loafer, turned loose upon the com-
munity from some of our many “gin mills.”
Indeed, guy decent man who walks these
streets at night in company with wife,
daughter, or lady friend, can scarcely fail to
be grievously annoyed, either by the foul
conversation, shameless exposure, or ob-
scene songs of different parties of both sexes,
that greet his ears or offend his vision.
Groups of half~growu boys cluster about the
Bridge in various localities, and supporting
each other by numbers, delight themselves
by singing songs, dancing, cursing, swearing,
&c., &.c. Frequently the sidewalks are
literally obstructed by squads of men and
boys, so that a lady is compelled to take the
street to pass them.
But why enter into details so patent to the
observation of all? ‘ I
. We appeal to the Civil Authority, to the
Officers of the Peace, to the—Police, ifthere is
such- a thing in Norwalk, to come to the
rescue. Break up the gangs of young row-~
dies, arrest those daring cyprians, shut up
the drunken loafers that offend the sensibili-
ties of every respectable man and woman
in the town, and they will earn and receive

The Liberty Pole in 110m of the Norwalk
Hotel was cut down this (Monday) morning,
because it was in the roadway and more
room at that point is needed. It was the on-
ly liberty pole in the village, and we regret
that our citizens did not have spirit enough
to remove it to some other position, keep it
in order, and on public days display from its
mast head a beautiful flag. Well in days
gone by it was an ornament and credit to
the town.
The adv. in to-days paper of the Empire
Tea and Coffee Co., will be of interest to the
lovers of those beverages.

Guards, G. 00., 8th Regt., have been le-

charged who have served out their time.
The papers were rcceived on Saturday, and
the Company does not, therefore, attend the

Adjourned. ‘ .
After adjournment the Club were invited
to friend Charley’s by the newly-elected
Commodore, Tompkins, to a. refreshment of
cool ice cream, &c., which was really an
“internal improvement" after a\two hours’
semion in-doors. The Club was as Young
as ever, and Grow-ed over their late cruise,
with many a Power-fill just, and Wit-nay
(Whitney), More-house was~wanted to hold
the glee and Merriam-eat which all enjoyed.
Commissary Ferris, no doubt thinking we
were on board ship (by the canvas spread
over the piazza), did the duties of' his office
by laying before us enough to make-a-real
b akfast or supper. On the whole, the re-
union and reorganization was a success. ‘

AND INVIGORATOR.
This medlclne is a Nerve Tonic. It stops the waste of
vitality, braces the nerves, and quietly regulates the
system. Sleeplessness, lrritability, Loss Of Energy,
Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Constipation, Local
Weakness, and a general failing of the mental and
bodily functions, are the common indications of Nerv-
ous Disease. Dodd’s Nervine and Invigorator is a
complete specific for all these troubles. It is also the

TO MOTIIERS. -
Mothers! we also recommend the Nerviue, for use in
h the dlseases which alilict children while teething, as
certain to afford quick and grateful relief. The stupo-
fylng Syrups, of which opium is the principal ingredi-
ent, are dangerous to ife, impair the functions of the
stomach and bowels, and actually impede the growth
of your offspring. To cure Wind Colic, regulate the
bowels, soften the gums, and relieve pain, the NER—
VINE will always be found safe and efficient.

every family. t is doing for Art what the printma-
