» TERI FAIR. -
. The expected tfrain” has transpiredtand
it is to" be hoped “we "may have” a' pleasant
.2 week!“ 'ouriaunnal»county«fpi§. I_The soci-
" it,» haa‘;beeu 5very fortunate ih'.,fegard to
weather, having only suffered from severe
- storms twoyears outof twenty. It is to he
‘,regrett_ed thatthe infirm hepltIh of its Presi-
' dent, MrCCamp, will deprive .the society ( f
' his active vexertionsxto a great extent, but
my fortunately his mantle falls upon along
tried and faithful officer, VicesPresident
Plumb,.who will be present to assist him. '
His presence guarantees good order and
honest management; We think the officers
of the society will find, when they count
their profits, that they have erred in no:
. using the advertising facilities furnished by
‘the papers of the county, in awakening a
more active and general interest in the ex-
hibition. We sincerely trust, however, that
the condition of its treasury will not bt
foundIto verify the wisdom of holy writ in
that “there is, that withholdcth more than
is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.” ' We
know from a long personal experience, dur-
ing years when, there were fewer people to
attend our fairs, that no expenditures
brought to its treasury such sure returns as
extensive and liberal advertising.

The year has been a reasonably fruitful,
one ; in no department, if we except apple ,
should there be a deficiency. The cereal:
are unusually fine this year, potatoes-never -
better; while rather early for field corn, the
exhibition of garden vegetables must aver-
age far ahead of former years, if the least
efi'ortbe made to show. them. .In horses,
working oxen and milch cows, our county
can certainly equal, if not excel, any singlt _-
county in the State, if not in New England.

“"We trust the efiort will be made, as has
been done in former years, to have owners
of fine teams. of family horses, both doublt
and single, take the track to show the style.
action, speed and other equine qualities of
their steeds. There are more persons num-
flcally, interested in viewing such a pa-
geant, than in all the “hi-hi” yelling and
.screeching of the fast boys, as they urge
their trotting pcllers around the track. In
point of personal respectability and worth.
the former class of patrons of the fair are
certainly entitled to as much consideration
and indulgence as the latter.

In the matter of renting booths, last year’s
experience will suffice, and we .are assured
110 rental will be made this year that does
not prohibit the sale of rum.

The trotting horse part of the exhibition
is the most troublesome to conduct and
manage satisfactorily. There is no part 01
the fair contributing so much exhilerating
excitement, and when properly conducted,
is an innocent, as it is a leading feature of
the week. ' We trust all parties concerned
in the trots to be made, will show their own
capabilities of being gentlemen, as well as the
speed of their steeds. There is no reason
,why every “trot" may not be witnessed,
without ofi‘ence to the most humane or re
fined. We never feel more indignant than
when witnessing some half-crazed rowdy in
his efforts to show how noble the horse may
become, proving to the disgust of every be-
holder, how low and bruilish in comparison
a man may make himself.

The programme for the Governor’s recep.
tion, on Thursday, is briefly as follows:
-I Governor Jewell and stafi‘ will arrive on the
11.05 train from the east, and will be received
by the city government, the Burnside Light
Guard being drawn up for escort duty west
of.depot. The Governor, stall and city of.
floors proceed in carriages, escorted by mili—
tary to Elmenswcrth, where the procession
will ,be received by our Borough authorities,
with our fire department as escort.
procession, thus augmented, with citizens in
carriages, will proceed to the fair grounds,
where President Camp and Vice-President
Plumb, as his aid, will receive them and
Chief-marShaIl Foster conduct them around
the grounds. General B. B. Crttufard has
been appointed chief-marshal by the agricul-
, tural society to conduct the Borough part of
the line and Captain J. L. Russell is chief-
marshall at the city. The Governor will re-
view on the fair grounds the Light Guards,
Tthe Weston Cadets and the good people who

_may desire to greet him. The hospitable
propritor of Elmensworth has invited him
to remain a guest at his palatial residence
for Thursday night, which we trust His Ex-
cellency may find itcouveuient to do, that
our citizens, engaged during the day, may
have an opportunityof paying their respects
to him there. .

Tickets for the scholars of the public
schools Within the county, will be sold at 10
cents. Tickets for single admission Will
also be left at Prouitt’s drug store at the
Bridge and at Peek’s at South Norwalk.
An agent will also sell these tickets on the
cars running to and from the fair.

With integrity of management and the
co-operation of our citizens, the annual fair
of 1871 will prove an encouraging advance
upon its predecessors. ‘

, West Avenue Sewer.

The Borough meetiuglast Saturday, voted
the construction ofa sewer, to be commenc-
ed- from a point on West avenue to be desig-
nated by the Court of Burgeses to the river
at Cross street; with such branches into
Elm, Chapel and Wall streets, and Mott
avenue,as may be needful. “As a means of
disposing of the surface water which has so

‘ long deluged and damaged the residents
along this line, probably no more economi-
cal and feasible plan ~of sewerage could be
devised. But should so insane a project
ever-be entertained as the leading into this
duct, the wash ofkitchens and the closets to
be introduced by our new system of water
works, such a project would be, we are as-
sured, and no doubt should be, at once arres-
ted by injunction. We do not believe it
possible that any board of officials likely to
be elected in the future, will be so ignorant
of the laws governing epidemic disease,Ior

‘ so indifferent to the inevitable consequences

to the public health, as to attempt such an
outlet, consequently we do not share in the
anxieties of those who are opposed to this
for 'fear of its ultimate use. It is to be regret-
ted,however, that while so great an expense
is to be incurred, that engineering skill is
not equal to locating the mouth of the sewer
somewhere near the Danbury freight depot,
where it may empty as low down the harbor
aaipoaeible. With the great, and to a major-
ity of people, unrealized blessings of water
works, always come the difficult and more
serious problem of sewerage. The health of
communities and lives of valuable citizens
have paid the forfeit in other places of errors
ofjudgment and carelessness in this partied-
lar, and here this system should be made
perfect at whatevt cost. Present necessity,
perhaps demands the immediate construction
of this sewer. Another year and abundant
water through all our grounds and houses
will uecesitate an outlet down the barbor.

It might be wise to consider inevitable

facts.

2 f @011! citizens have been amazed

 

 

pm. the Icelerity with which the water

urine have been excavated for and laid

dorm through the streets of our Borrough.
Such rapidity of movement In public works
' upon the highways is something to which

bration on the 18th of October at Bangor,
over the completion of the European it
North American Railway from that city to
St. John. This is one of the most important
railroad connections completed since the

grand continental railways from the Golden
Gate of the Pacific to the easternmost poizht
of land on the Atlantic coast, and reduces
the ocean transit to Europe to five days.
The world moves on.‘

W Mr. H. H. Elwell presented a most
:eusible resolution to the city government
last week, looking to joining interests in the
valet enterprise of the Borough. Analysis
- tas proved‘that we have the purest audbest
water of any public works, and ofits abun-
lance forall the town,thcre is not the shadow
)‘f a doubt. That South Norwalk ueeds‘it
t’s much; if not even more than we- do, is
finally certain, and while ,it may just as
vell aid, accommodate and bless that section
ts ours, by so doing its cost to all parties
.vill thus be materially reduced. There; is
10 snapping turtle exclusivcness‘and selfish-
tess of feeling, among the people of the

W Mr O. T. Earle, Esq., has sold his

to Millard’s coal yard, to the Fairfield Co,
)lauing mill company. Rumor says friend
Earle made several thousand dollars by this
sale, at which we rejoice, for we remember
IIS being called an idiot when he paid a few
hundred for what was then deemed worth-
[(358 property.

The concert by the Tremaines, on Friday
evening, was a success in point of entertain-
.neut, but the fearfully stormy weather com-
pelled them again to sing to_a small house.
No imagine that each of the two hundred
vacant seats represented a disappointed
.vould-be-listencr. The Tremaincs give the'
.inest musical entertainment that has visited
.IS for some time,—'-genleel and refined in
every point, and embracing choice selections
)I music of a high ogder of excellence, with
enough of the humorous and burlesque to be
spicy. The operatic burlesque and charac-
ter songs, and the bell ringing extravagan-
aas furnish volumes of merrimeut, while the
lac soprano voice of Master Kellogg, and
the-basso and tenor solos by the other gen-
.lemen are highly pleasing to the lovers of
good music. We. are informed» that the
troupe will endeavor to arrange for another
concert on the 30th inst, the only evening
hat they are disengaged previous to April
ist. We think that we can safely promise
these gentlemen a good house. Their eu-
;ainmeut is of a class that we like to encour-

tge.

 

Affairs in New York approached a crisis
last week, and “Ring” matters are now
.Jadley mixed up and shaky, and all good
citizens are congratulating themselves upon
the encouraging signs of the times. “Slip-
pery Dick” Connolly, more slippery than
ever, refuses to resign as. requested by the
mayor, and has appointed Andrew H. Green
as his Deputy. Mayor Hall, in turn, has
pcremplorily removed Connolly-from the
head of tilt} Finance Department, and ap-
pointed slow and easy Gen. McClellan as

so doing .is the question. The Ring has
evidently gone up in a balloon. - 2

 

American Colonization Society.

A union meeting in the interests of this

society occurred Sunday evening in the
Congregational Church. Rev. S. Dunham,
presided. Rev. Mr. Haynes, of the Society
at Washington, addressed the audienCe. He
spoke of the eminent» suwss of Liberia,
having now a population of 600,000 being
an independent republican christain nation
so respectable as to be acknowledged by all
the leading powers of the earth, by the ordi-
nary treaties of amity and commerce and
having its college and a system of common
school education and churches of seven (7)
denominations. And now more than 2000
colored people of the South are applying for
passage to Liberia, they wish to go to im-
prove their own condition and to aid in the
great work of the redemption of Africa.
_ Since emancipation in this country the
work is receiving a new itnpetus in the wish
of numerous people in. all points of the South
to go. The climate, deadly to while men, is
congenial to those having the blood of Afri-
ca in their veins. A collection for the cause
was taken. '

WOur devil has just found out what all
that picturesque barricade of boards, which
shuts in Cashier and Tellers, and shuts out
nearly all the light, at the Bank of Nor-
walk, is for. He says its to stop the girls
from coming and peeking in at lhegood look-
ing clerks. We supposed it had something
to do with military fortifications, the first
attempt of the General-in rearing wooden
breast works. Its----a,L---well a success of
its kind. 2

OBITUARY.-We regret to chronicle in our
issue of to-day, the death of another veteran
of the war of 1812, in the g erson of Emma-
lus F. Webb,‘ the advanced age ofeighty-
seven years. The deceased came from long
lived Revolutionary ancestry, his father."

Washington, fought with six brothers for
American Independence, and died at the;
age of 94 years. ’ He was the Ibro;her of the
Rev. Dr. Grceuleaf Street Webb, of New
Jersey, and of I[he late Hon. John L. Webb,
of Chemung 00., N. Y., and uncle to the
Hon. James H. Webb present speaker of the
House of Representatives at Harrisburg, Pa.
Mr. Webb inherited all the patriotism of his
ancestors, and retaining the full use of his
mental faculties, he evinced, to the time of
his death a lively interest in all the public
and political events of the day. His early
life was passed, in this .town, to which he
returned about ten years since to reside with
his daughter, at whose house he died, on
the 13lh inst., leaving a', large circle of rela-
lives and friends to mourn his loss. I '

Large Fire at Saratoga.

Two very disastrous fires occurred Thurs-
day morning, about two o’clock, destroying
the Park Place Hotel, Colombian Holel,and
a large part of the Crescent, from the Grand
Union on Broadway to the Clarendon. But
two buildings are left standing—one on the

t PARIS, Sept. 17, 1871.

The Mont Ceuis Tunnel was formally
opened lo-day by the French and Italian
Ministers and the local authorities of both
countries. After meeting and congratula-
ting each other, the parlfi embarked in a
gaily decorated train at arc‘oueache and
passed through the tunnel to Modane,
making the transit in 20 minutes.

A correspondent of The London Times
telegraphs that he traversed the Mont-Cenis
tunnel in 38 minutes; that the air in the
tunnel is excellent and the rails perfectly
level, and that the entire work has been
admirably-done. ~ '

class at the Scientific school will, however,
be much larger than'ever before, probably
numbering nearly‘60. Over‘sixly applica-
tions have been received for admittance to
the Theological sch'ocl. Professor Gilman
announced at'thc alumni meeting in July,
that anucleus oi twentydive had already
determined to enter the‘ new advanced
courses, while as many more will iuIall

ble, Colonels Torrance and Wooster and
others have promised to be present.

The organ in the new Congregational
Church, East Bridgeport, is now set up and

The liberty pole standing upon the Mil-
ford Green, a land mark for the 'pastfi‘orty

In transferring HOME LAWN to Miss H
STEVENS, Miss Beecher is quite sure it,wnll 33:11in
continue to merit the very liberal patronage which
tins been bestowed upon it, but. that. it will take even
higher rank among the best. institutions of the state
and country. As a successful teacher none stand in
advance of Miss Stevens. Of her qualifications as a
woman and a citizen there is no need to speak as
these wrll te—ttfy for themselves in due time. av-
