The “Little Town Meetings.”
Our friends are aware that next Monday,
October 8d, is “town meeting day,” and will
prepare themselves accordingly. The de-

NMICE.r shall no doubt hear of “Union Tickets,”
“Citizen’s Ticket,” “People’s Ticket,” “No
Party Ticket,” and all that sort of thing ad
ltd/imam. We only entreat our republican
friends everywhere not to be caught with
any such democratic chafi‘. It is the old
dodge, and always carries grist to the dem-
ocratic mill. We have always waited in
vain for our entirely disinterested democrat-
ic friends to put up “Union Tickets” where
they have a majority vote. This generous
proposition always originates where they
are in a "finality—singular isn’t it ?
No, friends, put in nomination your most
upright, judicious and capable men fortown
officers. and then go in and elect them.
The Republbans of Norwalk are requested to meet

Norwalk, Sept. so. 1870.
Our County Fall'.
From the preparations going forward
about the County and at the Fair Grounds
we are led to belieVe that We are to have
an unusually attractive exhibition this year.
Inthe matter ofgeally valuable specimens
ofhorned cattle and horses, it will for ex-
ceed all predecessors. An effort will be
made to exhibit some of the finest speci-
‘of'Ayershire, Durham, Holstein, and Jer-
seys. Whilein Sheep, that growing inter-
est with Connecticut will be fully illustrated.
In horses, besides the “ fast trotters” which
. always draw at Fairs. if no where else,
there is to be the noted horse “Commodore
Vanderbilt,” who it is claimed has made
the fastest time to wagon of any stallion in‘
this country. “Boston Boy” will also have
s most perfect counter-presentment of him-
self, in a youngscion now owned in Darien.
Our merchants and manufacturers are also
preparing quite extensively to exhibit their
various wares. This town alone could get
up a splendid exhibitionin local manufac-
tures, and we hope thecommittee will urge
all our leading establishments to make a‘
show of their fabrics and wares. Suppose
for instance all our Woolen Mills send in
samples uot'only of their finished goods,
but samples also denoting the various sta-
ges of progess from the raw material to
completion. For instance let the Pottery
set up a wheel with bland “Uncle Jason”
to explain as of yore to the wondering
crowds how a jug is made. Let the Beatty
Hat Factory make up a case with their
straws, braids, &c., and then their finished
hats ; so on of the Woolen and Fur Hat-
ters. The Lounsbury Brothers another case
of their fine machine made shoes in all
the stages of manufacture. The Lock 00.,
could make another exceedingly interesting
exhibition. The Box Factory ditto, while
die new Iron Works, could and should
have a steam pump, and a steam engine put
up and running. The Sash and Blind Fac-
tory might make a simrlsr showing of their
Wares in parts, and finished. Our mer~
chants also, and especially our Grocers
could and should make sfine and attractive
- .. ,showing. We think much that is very in-
teresting is generally sacrificed by exhibitors
in presenting only finished articles, whereas
the various parts and sages of workman-
_ ship, are more instructive and engaging
than the completed were or fabric.
. This year large glass cases have been con—
_structed,'with locks, amply sufficient to re-
ceive all of the smaller and more valuable
articles and fruits, so that no apprehension
need exist of loss or injury.
In Cereals there will be an average show,
- but inFruitsit is anticipated the exhibition
will exceed allprevious years. The weath-
er at'this writing bids fair, though rain is to
be expected anytime, and but for the exhi-
bition, to be hoped for.
it?” Mr. A. S. Jarvis, of the Weston
Boarding School, with his accustomed lib-
crality, has engaged the noted Felsburg
Band, of New Haven, to perform escort du-
ty for his school. at the military drill at the
Fair, on Wednesday. We understand that
during the evening.
wMany citizens improve this beautiful
weather by making excursions to New York
in the Nelly White. The sail on the Sound
at this season, is pleasant and the scenery
on both shores beautiful.

W Our Fair Managers have not only
shown good,plain common sense,but apl'ac-
tical appreciation of home talent in engag-
ing the Norwalk Band to supply the music
at the Fair Grounds. They are an unusual-
ly fine company of musicians, and were.
especially complimented at the late Weston
Boarding School Review, for their fine play-
ing. *
The Band gave some of our young mar-
ried couples a taste of their quality a few
evenings since. -

WThe re-union of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment C. V. was held at the Sea View House
New Haven, on Thursday last. Major A.
Comstock, of New Canaan, was appointed
temporary chairman, and Lieut. J. C. Kinney
formerly of Darien and now editor-inchief
of the Waterbury American as Secretary.
An Association was formed, of which Gen.
Birge was elected President, and Maj. Com-
stock one of the Vice Presidents; Lieut.
Kinney Secretary and Treasurer. The din-
ner was good, and speeches were made by
Messrs. Comstock, Cornwell, Baker, Kinney,
Lyman, and others.

33‘ The 23d Regiment Connecticut Vol-
unteers held their Annual Reunion at Beth-
el on Tuesday last, the 20th inst. They
were favored with two bands of music, the
Bartram & Fanton, and the Bridgeport
City Band. About two hundred of the. old
members were present and enjoyed a right
good time. The order of exercises was a
procession,businessjmeeting and reception at
to old Danbury Standard and they know
how to do those things,) and then a final
gathering at the Town Hall where a hand-
some'Flag was presented to the Danbury
Company for the largest membership. All
in all their reunion was one that was hard
to beat.

Q‘The Sunday School Teachers’ Asso-
ciation ot South Norwalk, are arranging
another course'of public meetings for the
coming Winter. The first will take place
on Tuesday evening next, the 4th prox., in
the Congregational church, at half past sev-
en. The doors will be opened at seven
o’clock, but under the peculiar arrangement,
so successfully tried at their former meetings,
only those holding tickets will be admitted
at first. Tickets are issued covering every
seat in the house, and they are all reserved
for the holders of tickets until five minutes
before the time of service, but the doors will
then be thrown open to all who may wish
to enter and the ushers will seat them as
may be possible, no seats being reserved
longer for tickets not presented by that time.
These tickets may be had without cost on
application to the ofilcers or members of the
Association or of the Superintendents of
the Norwalk schools. The programme cer-
tainly promises a meeting of unusual inter-
est. An address by Rev. Alfred Taylor,
Editor of the Sunday School Workman, a
paper .by the way thoroughly good and driv-
en with much enterprise and right good
sense. The Editor speaks as well as he
writes, which is saying a 300d deal. Then
follows an address by Wm. H. Sutton, Esq.,
President of the Jersey City Teachers’ As-
. sociation and Superintendent of the Howard
Mission, New York We behave that Mr.
Sutton has never spoken in this vicinity,
but he stands 'very high as a speaker and
worker in this department of Christian efi'ort.
Get your tickets and enjoy these exercises
and you will thank us the next day for this
advice. -

Gen. James C. Rise.
In “An Address before the Alumni of
Williston Seminary,” Easthampton, Mass,
by H. Clay Trumbull, dclivered' June 28th.
1870, and published by CaSe, Lockwood and
Brainard, of Hartford. we find the follow
ing paragraph respecting one of the sons of
Williston, viz :—“Thcn there was General
Rice, of whom Bushnell said, in noting the
new possibilities of literature in America
through the heroism displayed in our war,
‘Young Rice, for example, who begins a pri-
vate and ends a brigader, rushed up the
steep of promotion by the general acclaim.
I know not what he might have written;
enough to know what he . was. Nothing
makes so grand a figure, whether in fact or
fiction, as a character of high adventure
coupled with high principle ; and this he be-
gun to show before he became a soldier.’———
Of his well-known dying‘request, ‘Turn my
face to the enemy,’ Dr. Holland has, said,
appreciatively : . . , ,
“No braver words than these, my friend,
Have ever sealed a soldier’s tongue:
No nobler words hath history penned;
No finer words hath poet sung.
The oak that breaks beneath the blast,
' Or falls before the woodman’s strokes; ,
Spreads by its fall the ripenedmast
That holds in germ a thousand oaks.
' And in thc'words thy death hath strown
More than thy fallen lips survives;
For o’er the nation they are sown—
Seeds for a thousand noble livesl”
Should not every' boy at'Williston ,know
that one whose place he holds here, lived
and died thus nobly ? ” ‘

patriot. _ . I. .

They also showed an amazing amount of

tinually dry. Every {isucceSs of" Prussian

can’t pour out their blOod for the cause, so 3
they pour‘out their beer. They" can’t. be-

ity to supply the demand and" the revenue
from beer stamps bids fair to cancel the na-
tional debt. The'Go'vernmcnt presses are
kept running night ' and day to print'the
stamps, over two hundred. thousand being
demanded daily. This is an unexpected ad-
vantage to derive from thewar, and ismore-
over [the strongest argument I have 'heard
for “free lager” Sundays and all. '
‘ How it would have gone with Hoboken,

‘glcd in on the German steamships, and of
escaping 'New York policemen if a "row

’money stopped. Alas, poorHobuckl Upon
