4th at 4 o'clock P. M. The public are invi-

ted to attend.

RIDGEFIELD.

If the weather proves pleasant this week,
the Ridgefield Fair will undoubtedly be one
of the best yet held, and the attendance
large. Many people who were unable to at-
tend the County Fair on account of the bad
weather, will be sure to attend this gather-
ing. To-day, (Tucsday,) articles will be re-
ceived for exhibition and arranged, and the
fair will be open to the public this evening
for the first time ; \Vednesday is Cattle Day,
«Sac. ; Thursday and and Friday are Horse
Days ; the annual address will be delivered
Thursday evening by Rev. A. N. Benedict,
0f Fairfield—a good talker : Friday after-
noon the premiums will be declared,and the
Fair elOsed after the trotting. Competition
for premiums is not confined to people of
the town. '

WESTPORT.

On Mohday of last week, near her home in
Saugatuck, Miss Kate Wheeler’s horses be-
came scared, suddenly turned, upset the car-
riage and started on a run. Miss W. was
taken home with a sprained ankle, and the
carriage was somewhat injured.

 

GREENWICH.

McGinnes’ oil mills, east side Mianus river
were partially destroyed by fire on Saturday
afternoon, 19th. Loss $6,000. ‘

A company Of- Boys in Blue has been
formed in Mianus with D.P. Morrell as Cap-,
tain.

STAMFORD. .

' The funeral of Father O'Neil of the Cath-
olic Chapel was attended on Tuesday last by
a large concourse of parishioners andfriends.
The funeral services, which were very im-
pressive, were conducted by the Rt. Rev. F.
P. McFarland, of Hartford, assisted by a
large number of Catholic clergymen from
difl'erent parishes of the State and elsewhere.
The temperance society attended the funeral
in full regalia. Father O’Neil was born in
Sligo, Ireland, and was 54 years old. He
has been in charge of the Roman Catholic
congregation in Stamford for ten years prev-
ious to his death. The officiating clergyman
were z—Rev. Messrs. Daggett, as Celebrant;
C. Hughes as Deacon; P. Murphy as Sub-
deacon, and E. J. O’Brien, as Master Of Cer-
emonies. _

The Boys in Blue are. flourishing. Three
hundred members are expected to turn out
at the next parade.

The democracy are following suit by or-
ganizing a company of White Boys in Blue.

Mr. Charles E. Scofield has sold his house
and lot on Summer street, to P. H. Brown,
Esq., for $7,800.—Adoooate.

. DANBURY.

The negro who committed the outrage
.a couple of weeks ago has been caught and
the public breathe __freer. The fellow was
taken in Massachusetts by a couple negroes,
named Mars and Grant. Mars had tracked
him to Sheffield and induceed him to go with
him to his home at Marlborough,from which
place he was brought to Danbury on Tues-
day. The same night he was taken to Wild-
man’shouse, and was there recognized as
the man. His conduct and contradictions
also betrayed him. He was bound over to
the Superior Court which begins its session
in Danbury on the third Tuesday in Octo-
ber. In the capture Mars showed great
shrewdness and tact, and he and his com-
panion have earned the thanks of the com-

munity besides the reward.

Holl'ey’s new hat forming shop started 'up
and formed the first hat on Thursday. The
new building is situated on River street, just
north of Bundle & White’s factory. The
building is 80x66 feet, and four stories high,
including the basement. ‘

' The Republicans have "erected a beautiful
pole 112 feet high, opposite the Turner
EIIouse. '
Gen. Rawlins, Chief of Gen. Grant’s stati‘,
and lady, arrived in town W'edncsday night.
Rev. I. L. Townsend has received a unan-
imous call from Grace church, at Cedar
Rapids,.Iowa. '
' Trains commenced running over the N.
Y. H. & N. R. R. to Brookfield Wednesday.
Crofut do Son have purchased the property
on Main street, owned by C. T. Stevens and
.C. E. Andrews, occupied by Swift 6: Cowan
,and Colton, for the sum Of $15,000. It has a
frontage on Main Street of forty-eight feet,
lby 88 feet deep—Jefersonian. . '

Another Grant and Colfax Banner Rais-

ing came off on Saturday afternoon, 26th.
A high pole was raised opposite the Turner
House, and the Banner was stretched across
the street from this pole to the Hotel. The
banner is a very large one. Hon. L. S. Fos-
ter of N'orwich addressed the meeting The
Grant and Colfax Legion made a torchlight
procession in the evening. Danbury is alive
and will make a good report next N ovem-
ber.

BRIDGEPORT.

We regret to hear of the decease, after a
very long and painful illness, of one of
Bridgeportla oldest citizens, Bliakim Hough,’
Esq. No one of our long time inhabitants,
was better known to the town than the de-
ceased has been for the past thirty years.
His life was a very active one, and he had,
by industry and economy, acquired a large
estate. He was, in years past, quite prom-
inently identified with the agricultural inter-
ests of the county, and took great interest in
,her agricultural Society, and held, we be-
tlieve, prominent oflices therein. - He had
also filled various civil offices in the town
and city. He died ofa paralytic shock, one
of a series from which he has suffered for
eral years.

The Sons of Temperance of this city have
received between forty and fifty new mem-
bers into their Division since the commence-
ment of the present quarter.

More democratic arguments, in the shape
mf stones, were thrown at a republican pro-
cession, in Bridgeport, Friday night. Two
or three men were badly hurt.

Lieut. Gov. Stewart L. Woodford, a Major
Geheral in the Union Army, and one of the
best speakers now on the stump, will address
.Republieans Of Bridgeport on Wednesday
evening, Sept. 30th. There will bea rousing
meeting and a, rousing speech—Standard.

‘ MONROE. '

On Saturday evening, 16th inst, a mur—

derous atfray occurredbetween two men

named Hiram Hawley a'nd Mortimer Crofut

resulting in the killing of the former and

badly wounding of the latter. Liquor was
the cause, of course—Standard.

 

HUNTINGTON.

Lyman Dorman was recently severely
injured by a bull. The animal made a furi-
ous lunge at him as he was passing along
the street, knocking him down, and before
he could help himself he jammed him against
the fence and tried to gore him with his
horns. Mr. Plumb, his son-in-law, hearing
his cries, ran to his assistance, and with a
.club beat the bull Off, knocked him down
and secured him until the owner came and
took him away.

A company of Boys in Blue,40 strong, has
been formed in Huntington—Standard.

THE] FREE SCHOOL LAW.
(Continued)

 

By Prof. B. G. Northrop,
s1: :RETARY OF THE STATE BOARD
EDUCATION.

OF

 

Another Act directs that the amount
therein named shall be distributed as fol-
lows :— '

1. Fifty dollars shall be given to each
school district, instead of thirty-five, as
heretofore.

2. The balance of said sum shall be dis-
tributed to the several districts and parts of
districts in each town, according to the ave-
rage daily attendancc during the school
year next preceding such distribution.

This law necessitates exactness in the
daily record. The new Registers, provided
gratuitously for all the public schools by
the Board of Education, facilitate the keep-
ing of this record with accuracy. The in-
fluence of such a record, marking everyth-
st‘ance of tardiness as well as absence, in
promoting both punctuality and regularity
of attendance, amply compensates for the
little time thus occupied. Tardiness and ir-
regularity are the two great hindrances to
progress in our schools. ‘

The rule for ascertaining the average at—
tendance should obviously be uniform
throughout the State. The following is the
proper method, as found among “the direc-
tions for the teachers,” in the Connecticut
.School Register:— ~

Ascertain the aggregate number'of days
that all the scholars have actually attended
school during thctcrm, and divide this ag-
gregate by the number of school days in the
term. The quotient will be the average at-
tendance to be recorded on the previous
page.

As the amount- to be distributed to the
several precincts under this Act depends
upon the average attendance, teachers, pa-
rents and pupils have here a. new motive to
secure a full and regular attendance. his a.
sad fact, that less than one-half of the child-
ren of school age in our State are found, on
an average, in our public schools. While
thousands are growing up in ignorance, or
are being trained in the street school for
vice and crime, a remedy for this alarming
evil should be found and applied. The great-
ness of this evil, as one of ‘ the most danger-
ous forms of incipient crime, is not duly ap-
preciated. We respectfully invite all good
citizens to unite in earnest efforts .to sup-
press this most fruitful source of immorality.
While moral influence must be our chief
reliance, let our excellent,_ but neglected
truant laws, be strictly enforced.
Let the employment of children in manu-
factories without schooling, in violation of
the law, cease. If ‘the people set out in
earnest, in this great work, if each would
search for the truants in his own vicinity,
rest-raining by warning and council, or en-
couraging by money and clothing, in the
case of the few who are really destitute, and
urging the sanctions of the law in the case
of those otherwise incorrigible, this-crying
evil would soon pass away.
New Haven, Sept. 18, 1868.

Wooden Wedding.
Jas. H. Benedict, Esq, of the firm of
Lockwood 6: 00., bankers, and an afore-
time Norwalk boy, celebrated his fifth wed-
ding anniversary on Wednesday evening
week, at his beautiful residence on the banks
of the Hudson. The-occasion was taken
advantage of to do the “wooden” hugely.
We suspect his clerical relative of a “large”
share in the surprises, for a programme

P

'which has fallen into our hands bears a

Waterford imprint, the residence of Rev.
Mr. Pierson. After following out a long and
especially “wooden” programme of exer-
cises, the following mementoes—wooden—
were presented :—

1. A wooden knife, fork and spoon, jive
feet long.

2. A wooden opera glass, tubes 7 inches
diameter.

4. Monster rolling pin—length 5 feet, dia—
meter 7 inches. '

5. A mammoth croquet set — handles
about 10 feet long, and mallet heads about a
foot long and through. ‘

6. A giant’s set of “light gymnastic imple-
ments,” consisting of dumb-bells, rings,
clubs, &e., as large as an ordinary man
could lift.

7. Wooden spoon and bowl of dimensions
adequate to lunch a regiment on mush and
milk, or serve as a family swimming tank.
Jollity and substantial happiness reigned
supreme. May the next milestones on life’s
wooded ways find the happy pair as—
che(e)rry.

@“The anger and chagrin of the north-
ern copperhead leaders at the “indiscreet”(?)
utterances of their southern rebel allies, is
very amusing. But for their “foolish tale”
they say, we should not be in such a des-
perate strait, before the loyal people. The
simple fact is, at the South they mean what
they say, and are determined the northern
democracy shall not back off again.

—-——~—.-4.P-.—-—v—-

WThe Democracy are organizing sev-
ertil companies of men for street parades,
which they call “White Boys in‘ Blue,” or
the “McClellan Legion.” It is understood
that this “Host” is to be oflicered entirely by
Young America “Conservatives,” while the
rank and file will be composed of nothing

but “Democrats.” .

WOur old friend Rev. R. K. Diossy, for-
merly of this town, is still in New Orleans.
During the recent absence of the editor, Rev.
Dr. Newman, Mr. Diossy had for two
months exclusive editorial control of the
New Orleans Advocate, and also supplied the
Doctor’s pulpit. The Dr. says of him :

“Mr. Diossy is now in the prime of life ;
ofmedinm stature, well formed head, a soft
blue eye, and of a quiet and gentle spirit:
Too good to be envious of his brethren, he is
content to do his own work; and without a
flourish of trumpets he has quietly and thor—
oughly organized5;,~our Church in Western
Louismna. Coming-to us from theProtestant
Methodist. Church, he has proved his attach-
ment to our Church by an unwavering de-
votion. An extensive reader, he is intelli-
gent; and an humble followcrof the Mas-
ter, he is a Christian gentleman.”

The Advocate has the following kind word
for the old Gazette :‘—-“We copy the follow—
ing reminder of Christian duty from our ex-
cellent secular cotemporar , the Norwalk
Gazellepnc of the best weekly papers in New
England. Its visits to 'our sanctum revive
precious memories of old friends and famil-

iar scenes.

Patent Fruit Jar.

 

The Most Complete Jar Made

It: Superior Advantages.
FmsL—Its completeness , in its arrangements and
combinations as a perfeclfruit preserver.

SECOND—It is provided with a divided Ring, which
is ehsily attached to or detached from the Neck of the
Jar, and sgcurcd by a Bail.

Timur—When the band and hail are applied, its
combinations form a complete handle, thereby dis-
pensing with all lifters or other appliances, which
have hitherto been in use for removing the Jar from
boiling water.

Forum—It is constructed with a Glass Cover, which
sets over the neck of the Jar, resting on an elastic
band on the outer surface of the shoulder, thus pre-
venting any flavor being imparted to the fruit by me-
talic or poisonous substances. This advantage alone

endcrs its superiority such as to bring it into imme-

late and general use with the public.

800 MILES '

OF THE

UNION PACIFIC

Arc now finished and in operation. Although this
road is built with great rapidity, the ;work is thor-
o'luzhly done, and is pronounced by the United States
Commissioners to be first-class inevery respect, be-
fore it Is accepted, and before any bonds can be issued
upon it. . '

Rapidlty and excellence “construction have been
secured by a completoklivislon of labor. and by dis-
tributing the twenty thousand men [employed along
the line for long distances at once. It is now proba-
ble that the '

Whale them the Pacific will he
' completed in 1869.

The Company have ample means of which the Gov-
emment 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
316.000 to 848,000 per mile, according to the difficul-
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. &C-

THE EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD, from its Way or Local Business only du-
mg the year ending J une 30th, 1868, amounted to 0»
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 traflic
that must follow the opening of the line to the Pacif-
ic, but they certainly prove that

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS

upon such property, costing nearly three times their
amount,

Are Entirely Secure.

The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
$1,000 each, and have coupons attached. Theybear an-
nual interest,payablc on the first days of January and
July at the Company’s Office in the City of New York
at the rate of six per cent in goi’d. 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 oftinte they have to
run, ,

It is well known that along bond always commands
a much higher price than a short one. It is safe to
assume that during the next 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 cent.abovc
par. The export demand alone may produce this re-
sult, 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.
