RIDGEFIELD. ‘ The advertisement of the Agricultural Society giv- ing full particulars of the coming Fair, will be found elsewhere. A meeting of Co. II, 8th Regiment C. 1'. G..was held on ltloitday evening, 14th inst, when oflicers were elected as follows: E. \V. Kecler, Capt. vice Scott rc- signed; 1?. II. Smith, lst Lteut., m'ce Kcelerpromotcd; n. K. Northrop, 2nd Lieut., rice Smith promoted. J. D. Nash refused promotion and continues in the posi- tion of Orderly. ‘ The largest tire ever known in Ridgctleld occurred 0,; Friday night lost. It broke out about 924 o’clock: in a small building in the rear of Cutoonuh Hall, used , as a store room by J. W. Rockwell: it then spread to a barn and to Catoonah llall building which was oc‘ copied by Rockwell as a factory for the manufacture of candlesticks, auger bits, &c., and the third story as a public Hall and armory of Co. II, Sth Reg. 0. N. G. The flames spread to a building partly occupied by the Catholics as a church and partly occupied by fan:- ilies; The citizens who were present in' large nun;- bers and rendered all the aid in their power,torc down a sm.ll building to prevent the spread of the flames. A blacksmith shop and sheds were saved, which pre- vented the flames from extending to and consuming the Methodist church, and other buildings on Main St. Mr. Rockwell saved but little . and his loss will amount to from 87,000 to $10,000; insured $3,000. The ll all building was partially insured, and the Catholic church was insured nearly full value. Co. II, saved nearly all of their _arms, equipments and uniforms. There was but little wind‘ at the time, and if the vil- lage had been provided with an efficient fire engine probably most of the property would have been saved. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an in- cendiary. The Democrats of this beautiful town had rather a queer time of it on Tuesday. They met for the pur' pose of raising :1 Hickory. ' It was a glooomy day. The .51th was ashamed to look at them and hid his face behind a veil of thick clouds. Rather chilly winds from the East, especial- ly from the Green Mountains of Vermont, and from the pine forests of Maine, afliieted the shivering souls of our forlorn fellow citizens, then and there assem- bled. It required a good deal of hard swearing and a picuteous flow of bad whiskey to infuse strength needed for the tremendous task of hauling up the old Star Spangled Banner, which these same worthics and their Southern cronies tried so long and so hard to trample in the dust. - . Mr. Babcock was there from New Haven—so was Mr. Taylor from Danbury. N ow came the tussel. These good men were expected to make speeches. But what could they say! What was there to say! Mr. Baocock was to be pitied. He looked at the Flag and bcthought him of better days, when he was loyal. He looked at the hickory, and saw in it an emblem of the base poles under which the poor, old Democratic ship, on which he has embarked, is preparing to send away to unknown seas, before the thunderous gales of Freedom which are lowering and gathering on all sides. He shivel cd. Ile quivcrcd. So did Taylor. But the poor fellows was mastering up thoughts of Gen. J aekson dead, slavery squelchcd and Gen. Grant alive. They were benumbcd. The crowd called for speeches. It was embarrassing. To say things that the crowd wanted them to say, would be to tell awful libs. They didn’t want to do that. But something must be done. And immediately, luckily for these bewildered orators, ruminating in doubts and whist- ling up their courage, there now happened a singular thing which gave them a happy relief by drawing the attention of their noisy and impatient audience. Just opposite where the meeting was held lives an honest intelligent and patriotic citizen and not far off lives another of like character, who happened to call on some affair of business, at this hour. These two men read the papers. They think for themselves. They know what they are about. They believe in Truth. They love Freedom. They have long been grieved at the wayward goings of their Democratic fellow towns- men, and on this occasion their righteous souls were vexed at the humbug and nonsense being enacted on the other side of the street. They also felt ayearn- lug pity for their deluded neighbors,A led astray by the erratic Bapcock and the factions Taylor. So, thinking it would be a neighborly kindness to throw a ray or two of light, into theirbeclouded minds they extemporizcd and raised a banner, on which were printed in large, open type the significant words “Have you heard from Maine?” It was like the flash of a beacon on the straining eyes of a crew, trembling upon the deck of a poofwegthcr beaten ship, rapidly drifting to destruction. Such as could read, quaked Such as couldn’t read, _su'orc. The whole concern was in a flutter—Babcock is not a swearing man. _His Re- publican education retrains him from that unmanly habit so prevalent among his present associates. But he wanted to. It was enough to make him. How- ever he didn’t. He saw in those ominous words, a death’s head and cross bones, and so lost his equilib- rium, that his speech was utterly spoiled. It was so unlike the speeches he used to make when he stood on the right platform that our honest heart was filled with sorrow fpr him. _ Taylor was also upset. He didn’t swear, but he set the crowd on to all sprts of pranks and antics as he - pointed over the war, at the ominous scare-crow our Republican yeomcn had set. up., Some grimaecd. Some shook their fists. Some howled. Some yelled. Some trembled. Some shook, their knees quaiking one against the other. Some left the ground, and sought solace around the corner grocery. The meet- ing at last adjourned, presenting very much the ap- pearance ol‘a swarm of rats, tails down, ears curled: and mouths mum, hurriedly dcserting a sinking ship. I’oor fellows! Mr. Warren Hoyt, of Titicus has a Bull Calf of the Durham Breed which when 4 months old, girted 4 ft. 7 in., was 3 ft. 7 in, high and 5 ft. in length, weighing «166‘ lbs. Hundreds have been to see it and pronounce it the finest Calf of the age they ever saw. It Will be an exhibition at the Town Fair, SOpt. 29th and 30th Oct. lst and 2nd. Who can heat it! BEDDING. , The Democrats of Bedding, with small delegations from adjoining Towns, had a pole and bannerraising, Thursday, on the Ridge, The Meeting was address- ed by Gallagher of New Haven, Glover of Fairfield, Dreggs of New York, and GoOdsell of Bridgeport (of Stepney Peace flag notoriety.) The pole was a very fine one and the meeting quite orderly—the mectin g had heard from Maine. The Republicans organized a Grant and Colfax Campaign Club Monday night, when about 40 joined; at an adjourned meeting Thursday Evening, 14 more joined, and the following officers were elected: T. W. Abbott Pres. ; F. A. Sanford, Jos. E. Chapman and Geo. G. Read Vic Pres; Joseph Johnson Sec. ; D. S. Johnson Treas. ; and D. S. Bartram, Marshall. After the meeting of the club, a company of the Boys in Blue was formed and 85 names were enrolled. The following officers were elected, Seth P. Bates, Capt.; D. S. Bartram, Lieut.; A. E. Meeker 2 Lieut. The Boys are very enthusiastic and determined to work with a will. The meeting was quite spirited E. P. Shaw, Esq., made some verry telling remarks. The Boys are determined to be heard from on the '36! of November. . STAMFORD. Another disgraceful row, in which knives were free- ly used, tOok place in “Dublin,” on Sunday night, 13th inst.

The property owners on Washington avenue and the north side of Broad Street, have received official notice to make flag or concrete sidewalks, in front of their respective places. The friends of Mr, Chas. W. Wardwell of this town, will be glad to learn that he has just closcda transac- tion in Brooklyn which netts him the neat litttle sum 0“ $50,000. He bought a number of lots at a bargain in ”I; Eighteenth Ward, which he sold in less than four months, ‘making by the transaction the above fortune. The Boys in _Blue were drilled in Seely’s Hall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, prepam_ tory to the grand par‘flde Thursday night. The loyal young men of the town have taken hold with a will, and it is certain the organization will have a decided influence In contributing to Republican success this fall. A colored man, 105 years old, named George Wat- son, was found dead in his bed on Tuesday morning, under circumstances which suggest the'possible guil of a colored boy, who lived in the house. The body was found very much swollen, and there are other it.- dications of poison. The boy ran off and has not been seen in the neighborhood since the old man’s death. The Stamford Post of the G. A. R. have adopted the name of the “Chatfield Post.” Professor Brown has determined to reside perma- nently in Stamford. He has purchased the residence .on Atlantic street now occupied by Rev.

This organization is prospering finely, and has already 150 uniformed members. The meeting was attended by many people from adjoining places, including of- tleers from the 8th Regiment Camp at Greenwich, and was a great success. The Republicans have put out a fine transparency in front of their Headquarters in the Post Ofllcc build- ing, which shows 011‘ to fire advantage.

H. Olmstcad was entered on Sunday nightlast and robbed of about $600 worth of goods, consisting chiefly of about twelve dozen F. Y. S. Shirts, unfinished, and 41 dozen fronts and backs cutout of New York Mills muslin, some sleeves, slips, &c. Avaluable dog belonging to the proprietors of the factory was poisoned that morning! and the Messrs. Olmstead being suspicious of foul play clused their store to be watched, thinking that it was probably the intention of the rogues to rob that, but the thieves went into the Factory in stead.

Woodworth, Esq., was entered by Burglars, Tuesday night of last week, and a pair of Boots stolen. The appearances indicated the pres- ence of expert Burglars as a pane of glass was broken by the use of tar, and tracks under the window made by Rubber Shoes were found. Mr. Woodworth thinks they exhibited remarkable judgement as they took his best Boots leaving an old pair standing near un- disturbed. The funeral of John Lockwood, a breakman on 'thc New York and New Haven Rail Road, killed in the discharge of his duty, was held in the Methodist church, Sunday afternoon; the services were conduct- ed by the pastor, Rev.

NASH 6L BRO’S, Corner of Main and West Streets, ‘ South Norwalk Conn. 800' MILES 0111011 PACIFIC RAILROAD Are now finished and in operation. Although thin road is built with ' great rapidity, the work is ther- Wtzhly done, and is pronounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-clue in every respect, be- fore it is accepted, and before any bonds can be issued upon it. ‘ Rapidity and excellence of construction have been secured by a complete division of lobar. and by dis. tributing the twenty thousand men employed along the line for long'distances at once. It: in now proba- ble that the ' Whole Line tn the Pacific will I!!! completed in 1869. The Company have ample means of which the Gov- ernment grants the right of way, and all necessary timber and other materials found along the line of its operations ; also 12,800 acres of land to the mile, taken in alternate sections on each side of the road; also United, States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from 816.000 to $18,000 per mile, according to the dlmcnl- ties to be surmounted on the various sections to be built, for which it takes a second mortgage as securi- ty, and it is expected that not only the interest, but the principal amount may be paid in services render- ed by the Company in transporting troops, mails, dc. THE EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, from its Way or Local Business only du- ing the year ending June 30th, 1868, amounted to ov- er Four Million Dollars, which after paying expenses was much more than sufficient to pay the interest upon its Bonds. These earnings are no indication of the vast through traffic that must follow the opening of the line to the Pacif- ic, but they certainly prove that IIRST MORTGAGE BONDS upon such property, costing nearly threetimes their amount, - Are Entirely Secure. The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for $1,000 each, and have coupons attached. They bear an- nual interest,payable on the first days of January and July at the Company’s Oflicein the City of New York at the rate of six per cent in gold. The principal is payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, and at the present rate of gold, they pay a. liberal income on their cost. . A very important consideration in determining the value of these bonds is the length of time they have to W11. It is well known that a long bond always commands a much higher price than a short one. It is safe to assume that during themext thirty years, the rate of interest in the United States will decline as it has done in Europe, and we have a right to expect: that such six per cent. securities as these will be held at as high a premium as those of this Government, which in 1857 were bought in at from 20 to 23 per cenLabove par. The export demand alone may produce this re‘ suit, and as the issue of a private corporation, they are beyond the reach of political action. The Company believe that their Bonds at the pres- ent rate, are the cheapest security in the market, and the right to advance the price at any time is reserved. Sibseriptions will be received in NORWALK by The NATIONAL BANK OINOBWALK, and in New York At the Company’s Ofllce, ND. 20 Nassau Sh, AND B! John J.
