. «OUR FAIR. .
The annual Festival of our Farmers, Fruit
,culturists, 'Florists and Cattle raisers, has
-. come and goneand although deficient in
some unimportant particulars, as a whole, it
has evinced an encouraging advancement in
all our material interestg. It has given all
our peopb a week of half-relaxation. of so-
cial meetings and‘grectings, and upon the
whole its influence must have been encour-
nging and salutary. There are many vi-
clans practim,which seem almost inevitably
to attach themselves to everything of the
kind, yet there was much less of excess of
.mdkery and rowdyism visible the year than
formally former" years. These errors and
wrongs should stimulate all good men to
cor‘nelna‘nd aid in giving an institution , so
capable of benefiting all classes of society
and gratifying the people, the right direction.
As to horses, the total was not up to previ-
ous yea :s. but in quality of those exhibited,
have never exceeded the present year.
In horned cattleand- capacially working
oxen, we doubt if any State Fair in New
England has ever exceeded our exhibition.
The blooded stock of Morris Ketchum, M.
E. Mead, S. Hoyt & Sons, and others, were
never beaten anywhere and we doubt if finer
strains of ' pure blood can be shown else-
where in the country. The sheep were very
fine and the largest collection ever exhibited
at any one of our Fairs. The vegetables
were wonderfully fine, and several of the
exhibitions exceedingly large, our Stanl-
ford. friends, the Hoyt Brothers, and Mr.
Quinta-rd, taking the lead in this department
as they did in Hot-house Grapes and exotic
fi'uits. John Ryan, gardener to Oliver Hoyt.
who has been a faithful exhibitor for 13
years, exhibited over 200 varieties of garden
vegetables,,the largest ever shown by any
one man, among them several new varieties.
He had an improved cheese pumpkin Weigh-
ing 140 pounds. He had a watermelon
weighing 80 lbs, 9. muskmelon weighing 13
lbs., and 18 varieties of potatoes, and all ex-
ceedingly fine. His case of grapes was per
haps the most tempting sight in our Fair.
One bunch of Barbarosas weighed five lbs.
A ripe bunch of Black Hamburgs weighed 3
pounds, and abunch of delicious little Do-
La Pale-stiller weighed four pounds. There
is not 10-day anything in the American III-
stitute Fair in N. Y., to compare with this
'showing. The peaches and apricots, growr
under glass by the Gardener of J. B. Hoyt.
were exceedingly “ fine to look upon."
The gardener of E. A. Quintard, had th«
largest number of varieties, but in his sepa-
rate specimens he allowed the Ryans to sm-
pass him. The fruit of. the Hoyt’s were oi
finer cluster and better matured, hot at. [IN
same time, the Quintard collection was ex-
ceedingly fine and hard to compete with.
We missed,and with sincere regret, it repctI-
tion of the last year’s show made in hot]
fruits and exotic flowers by our own“Petcr,”
gardener at Elmcnsworth. Had he done hi.~
best this year, We are confident he woull‘.
have given his Stamford friends a less easy
victory.
The-trotting on the track seems to have
been subordinate to other interests this year.
Young Mr. Ketchunl, of Westport, had a
span of quick stoppers on the track. L. L.
Allen hitched Douglass toja trotter belonging
to “Boss Tweed,” which skimmed the ground
at a lively gatc,but somehow the hitch seem
ed to be an unfortunate one, and they didn’.
win. , _
M115 Vanderhoef, showed a very fine.
square little trotter, who if not very fast, dit'.
hiswork to a heavy road wagon in about
three minutes and did it so square am"
gracefully as to inspire general admiration.
Inside the tent, the sewing machines seem
to havcitaltenith‘e lead. " There was the orig
inal crude Howe, and the modern perfected
Howe; the Wheeler do Wilson, the Wood
and the Davis; the American Combinatior.
Button Hole and Overseam Machine, 3. nov-
el as well as simple and beautiful piece-o.
mechanism: The Empire, another fine ma-
chine, shown by H. Jones, attracted mnci
attention. The Stamford or Earle’s machine.
was perhaps the most unique and simple in
construction. It goes with a positive, direc.
motion; is so plain in’ its mechanical arrange-
ments that a child might adjust it.
Gardner exhibited a very-neat and pretty
light harness. we noticed some very fin«
needle-woorked pillow cases, by Mrs. James
Finney. A case of Bonnets, Jockeys, &c..
attracted attention and méde the girls’ eye:
glisten. Bed quilts were scarce, but such as
were shown were very fine. There were
some very fine Rag Carpets, Cloth from
the N orwalk mills. _4
There was a new, and to us gratifying
exhibition of improved cabinet ware;
Messrs. Buckingham do Go. exhibited a set
of parlOr chairs in velvet and satin reps, a
_ little in advance of anything ever manufac-
tured here. ’ Whitney had a display of new
style Photographs which “r’eflects” great
cridit upon the artist, as well as the face at
the subject. No better picture than Whitney
can take, can be obtained anywhere. Then
are many other items we should be glad it
notice in detail, but time and space will no'
admit. The total receipts this year will bl
' something above four thousand dollars.
There were probably the finest individual
specimens 'of horned cattle exhibited Wednes-
day ever seen on our Fair Grounds.
The performing ponies were quite a nov-
elty and attracted about as much attention
asan ordinary circus. They will be on the
track again today. The mapper. in which
a vicious andbanlky horse was at once sub-
dued,waa really surprising.
A special trot of three minute horses was
bad Wednesday. The entries were Root, oi
Bridgeport: Brand A. Ferris, of Greenwich:
William R. Nash, of N orwalk, and‘A.F_erris,
of Stamford. The race was a my good one
and was won by the Bridgeport horse. Thl
horse won three straight beats in the follow-
ing time: 8.08; 2.59; 8.02.
_ Mr. Ketchum’s 3,000 pound, 8 year old
hull, got loosc,and made a lively time about
the grounds for a few minutes. He was
finally secured.
A .nondes‘cript tandem team of four-in-
hand,fromFairfield, paraded the grounds.
to the special amusement of. our eastern
young gentlemen. a
Stephen Hoyt.& Sons had a most mag-
nificent display of apples, considering the
season. Their herd of milch cows attracted
universal;admiration. ' .
Tnere'were several displays ofexcellently
matured southern corn and sweet potatoes.
Wm. C. Street-had a very extensive and
unrivaled display of' Agricultural Imple-
ments and Farmers’ Hardware. ‘
The Bread,Dairy_ and Honeydisploy beat
all former exhibitions. The Ladies‘ Indus-
trial was much below last year,but such art‘-
_cle's as were there were "exceedingly merito-
rious. . _
The Hot House Grapes and Peaches were
as tempting as, ever. '» = '
The Floricultural show was inferior. to pre-
vious years, but there was, nevertheless, a
creditable display. , ' . - .
C. C. Brt'tdlyy, of Weston. and James E.
Ells,oach showed a peek of Cranberries—the
largest undichoicest we ever saw.
Nathan Seeley, in addition to his superb
Cattle, Sheep and Poultry, had a fine exhi-.
.bition of Field Corn fully matured. A yel-
low variety, called the“ Webster Corn,” was
especially fine. _
The Potatoes and Grail: were unusually
superior. _ , . .
There were never fine'r pairsof Working
Collie shown onany grounds. There were
mitten-its which bothered the Committee to
ranking! we think ,thewholc . nine deserv-
ing. of first, premiums, the premiums was

The exhibition of poultry was the largest
we have'eversoen atai County Fair, there
being neat-1y one ‘ hundred separate _ coups.

We notice also a great improvement in the
manner of exhibiting, the fowls ‘being get:-
erally shown 00‘ to better advantage in large
coops.
, The attendance Wednesday evening was
quite large though the hull was not so crowf-
ed as on many former occasions, W. H.
Yeoman. Esq, was introduced and gave a
short talk about the recent Pomological Ex-
hibition at Richmond. He was somewhat au-
noyed by the lack of attention and rude be-
havior of many young people who evidently
cared more for amusement than instruction.
Alter the address. singing and'promenuding
were indulged in for the balance of the even-
ing. -
A. Jackson & Brother had two fine cases
of beautiful silver ware.
Frank Mead & Co. exhibited a case of
choice French and American confectionery
made at their own ‘manutactory.
Keelcr, Holmes do 00.. made a fine show
of teas, fine groceries, doc.
‘ Buckingham .95 Co. exhibiteda set of cle-
gant furniture.
The Norwalk Mills, showed a case ofcassi-
meres good enough for the Governor to
wear on state occasions.
R All the lassies admired an ornamental
wedding cakefexhibited by s. LSmith.
Mrs. J udd'b' case of‘bonnets’ was a lovely
sight to young ladies ‘who have money to
spare. '
J ohn‘Barney had a case of Horse Shoes of
his own manufacture. ‘ They showed well,
Ilthough they had not book burnished up
’or exhibition. .
The Gubernatorial pageant Thursday, was
unexpectedly fine and imposing. The day
was one of September’s brightest, and from
early morning to dcwy eve our streets were
thronged with vehicles and people. The
Governor and his staff were received at the
lepot at 11:15 by the city government, and
l line formed. The Burnside Guards, Capt.
fumes C. Crowe, headed by the Howe Band,
uerfornting escort drlt y and presenting a fine
soldierly appearance. At the Borough line
Gen. Craufurd arranged the carriages con-
taining Wardon Lyucs, and two or his Bur-
:esses, the Committee of Arrangements and
fudge Butler. These took their position in
the rear of the city government, when the
Borough Fire Department,which was out in
full force, headed by the Vt’heelcr & Wilson
Band, brought up the rSar. The procession
was nearly a mile long as it proceeded to
he Fair Grounds. At the entrance gate
were ranged the Weston Cadets with pre-
<ented arms while acting President Plumb
was received into the Governor's coach and
he line proceeded around the track, thence
pm the hollow square arranged as the par.
Idc ground of the Cadets. Here the Gover—
101‘ reviewed the school, addressing the lads
in a iewhappy words of congratulation and
traise. The Governor and staff then retired
to the Grand Stand where they witnessed
he drill of the cadets with; much apparent
tittisfitction. A hastily prepared lunch was
uerved in Crofnt’s tent, when our distinguish-
-d guests repaired to the Exhibition Halls
The Fruit, Flowers and Vegetables particu-
larly interested the Governor, while the smil—
'ng young ladies crowded 1 about, seemingly
ngrossed the attention of the young gentle-
nen of his stall. ' “ '
John Ryan unlock‘d his case of luscious
‘rot house grapes, and invited the Governor
ind stafi‘ to a test of their quality.
It was stated by the officers that; the
largest concourse of people ever seen on the
fair grounds were present Thursday. There
could not have been less than ten thousand
in all, and the cash receipts of the day
were somewhere between fifteen hundred
Ind two thousand dollars. The corps of
tecrctaries were never worked harder, and
he officers at gates. tent, hall and about.
be grounds were constantly on the alert
it‘or' the promotion of the comfort. of all and
general good order. A labor in which they
were remarkably successful.
There was a fine display in the
family horse department and as was
to have been expected President F. St. John
Lockwood bore oti‘the first prize.
There were very few disorderly persons
Ind the three or four drunken men and boys
thout only indicated how rigid had the rule
tguinst the sale of liquor upon the grounds
been enforced. The most annoying nuis-
Ince was the incessant and deafening yam)
if the army of peanut and notion vendors.
It is a pity our Fair could not be run with-
“If this unbearable nuisance. Not a sin-
gle accident ofany serious moment occurred
to nmr- the pleasure of all. Every face in
Ihe ast throng beamed with satisfaction
ind delight and a.l seemed to express the
' =entimcnr, that they came to have a good
into and were having it. The drill of the
Weston Cadets was universally admired
ind while the visit of the Governor and his
review resulted in a most successful advcr~
tisement forthe Weston School, the result
1150 shows that it had a most gratifying cf-
tect upon the receipts at the ticket office
1180.» V '
There was a great crowd present during
the evening in the hall. The Howe Band
remained over and entertained the people
with excellent music, ndding greatly to the
enjoyment of the occasiOn; '
Thomas Clune, gardener. to E. C. Bisscll,
‘ladit all his own way this season in the
show of plans, &c. He is deserving of much
credit for the fine show he mhde in this
ind the vegetable departments.
Among the new exhibitors was Thomas
Ryan, gardner to J. B. Hoyt, Esq, of Stam-
ford whose show ofvcgctables,peaches and
flowers, were much admired, and we hope
that he will be on hand again next year.
We learn from one of the committee on
class 3,(vegetables) that had Ryan entered
his for separate premiums as well as for
large varieties, that he would have been en-
Iitled to several awards. _
Mr; S. H. Alden’s handsome four-in-hand
from Westport, was much admired at the
Fair Thursday. , ~
The firemen were very fortunate Thurs-
day in securing the servicés.of the old favor-
ite Wheeler a. Wilson Band, 18 pieces, 8. E.
Rosenberg, leader, for the_ Parade. After
the parade was dismissed the Band gave the'
old GAZETTE an exquisite serenade, ‘for
which they will please accept our hearty,
thanks. ‘
Geo. C. Waldo, the clever “local” of the
Bridgeport Standard,attended the fair and
reported the proceedings for that journal; ‘ '
Messrs. Kroger and Foster, at the clos'e'of
the Fair “surprised.” the accomplished Sec
retary with a present. For full particulars
ask the gallant Captain.
A disgraceful row was precipitated, by a '
set of roughs on Friday night after the close
of the fair, which came near proving ofa‘
most serious charac'er. Sqme forty or fifty:
men and boys scaled thefence and assaultedi
with stones and clubs, sundry tents, the;

s tilantsarc known to the officers of the law,“
we presume the society will prosecute them, 2
as they deserve. Several pistol shots were-
fired during, the melee and it is fortunate
that no ‘one was killed outright. '
Thos. Clune, _ gardener to E. C. Blssell,
made very cred t Ible displays of plants flow-
ers and vegetables He was not expected
'to compete with the-other gardeners in num—
ber of varieties, but was not the least behind
in quality. . ' ' .
The Wakemau Brothers, of Green’s Farm,
so widely known as successful fruit cultur-
ists, exhibited two large cases of hardy
grapes, and of course carried 00‘ both the
first-and second premiums. These gentle-
men always make a good show at the Fair,
and deserve success. .- ,
The premium list needs careful revising
throughout. The wording .of man ' pre-
miums confuses the committees, an often .
prevents them from doing justice to exhibi-
tors. All cases . of “best and largest”.
should be expunged, and the premiums be
more carefully divided. But. of this more

West Avenue.
For all time, this beautitu‘l'avenue must be,
the chief thoroughfare of N orwalk. For all
the present your at least, Whit with Ewater
pipes and sewers,it is evidentit must he more
or less obstructed and defaced. Is it not
just the timeto consider the matter of Me-
Adamizing the road bed ? The little town
of Branford has been the first to prove the
economy of this .sy'ste’m of road-halting.
About four miles, we are told. have been
laid in the chief thoroughfares of that town,
and it is believed the cost of maintaining
the same will be next, tonothing, besides en~
suring a good road-he'd at7all times. Proba-
bly no time will occur when the necessary
crushing and grading can be done more cheap
ly than now. The contractors on the various
departments of our water works will soon
be released, and this being exactly , in their
'line, no doubt any one of them would bring
hither the needed steam rock crusher and
roller, and do the work this winter, at allow-
or cost than could again be afforded. We be-
lieve the property holders all along-the line
from Norwalk Bridge to the South Norwalk
depot, would gladly benssessed for a'quartcr
of its cost, whil--aquarter each shduld be
borne by the borough and my, and the re'
maining quarter by the town. This, or any
other equitable plan, if it can be devised,
could easily be adopted, and if executed,
thousands of dollars saved to our tax-payers.
Will not someone move in this important
matter ' now While our contractors may
compete for the work and prepare. advan-
tageously for its proper execution.

The Western School.
The presence of the Weston Boarding
School at the fair grounds and Governor
Jewell’s rev ew of the cadets, drew together
the largest concourse of people ever before
seen within that ample enclosure. The lads
were in splendid trim and drill, and .executed
their parts with celerity and the pzecision of
West Point veterans. The Governor was
delighted'lvith theirmilitary dress and ad
dress, and the great crowd of lockers-on
seemed equally enthusiastic ill their expres-
sions of gratification. It Was the leading
feature of the day, and indeed, we might!
add, of the fair';and principal, teachers,

of the exhibition they made on this occa-

is engraved in ,oval form, on steel, in line

beautiful lady standing in a devotional atti-
tude, at an open window, with her hands
resting upon the open psalm book, looking
out upon the sea, at twilight, in deep medi-
tation. It is not an illustration of any
scenetin Kathrinu, but rather the author’s

BLDWS’ HIMSELFUP WITH]
KEG "HF *PflWD-ER ‘!'
- About 25¢minutes to 6 this morning the
neighborhood nel‘lr‘ Silver _.Mine Brook. at
North Norwalk were aroused by a terrific
report as of a powder cxplOSion. It was
soon ascertnincdgthatdt. pgocegded from the
house of Wm. J. Millson James slrget, near
the Silver Mine road and occupied by Hora-
tio T. Cook. On proceeding thither a most
horrible sight. presented itself. The house
was literally rent in "twain, its east end
blown out, the roof lined, windows gone,
and ceilings demolished and all on fire. But
the most sickening sight of all, was the
blackened and disfigured corpse of poor
Cook, which lay thown buck, buried in the
burning debris.
Mrs. Cook was also found in a most pitia-
blc condition. Crazed by the concussmn
and horror, shc'was trantically throwing
herself about 3 her night clothes and
screaming for aid. The first effort was to
extinguish the flames which was soon done
when Mrs. Cook was removed to the house
of a neighbor. She furnishes the following
account of-‘the circumstances preceding the
horrible affair. It is known that Mr. Cook.
belongs to a family predisposed to insanity,
and Horatio, when a lad, was kicked in tire
forehead by a horse, from which he
has no doubt specially suffered. He
was in the Insane Asylum, at ' Hart-
ford, some two ”years, five or six years
ago. The last few weeks he has been
ill from intermittent-fever and congestion
of the brain. In consequence of this illnesa
he rad occupied the largest .of two adjoin-
ing bedrooms, and Mrs. C. the smaller one.
Just betore dayligh_t~,he having a chill, called
los wife up, and desired her to lie down be-
side him. This she did, and falling asleep,
he quietly arose and. went into her room,
where ;at the foot ot'hcr bed there had been
stored a keg about half full of powder,
which he used in hisbusiness‘as a rock-blas-
ter. It would seem~fronrthcpositiou of the
remains, &c., that removed the” "keg . out
from the bed, laid~ himself over,’ it and
touched it off. Previous to "exploding
the powder, he had carefully gather-'
ed up all Vof.Mi's. C.’»s clothing in ,the
upper part of the house and thrown the
garments down cellar with a view to their
preservation, thusshowing entire delibera-
tion in planning and executing his destruc-
tion. To the fact that the house was very
slightly constructed, and the windows up
and bed-room doors open, may be attributed
the almost miraculous escape of ‘ Mrs. Cook
the only other occupant of the house at the
time. This morning when. our reporter vis-
ited the promises shreds of bedding, clothing
arid charred fragments of the building were
smouldering for many rods about the house.
The remains are shockingly blackened
and burned, but not so badly muti-
lated as would be naturally supposed, but
nothing so horrible,aud Sickening to behold
has ever transpired in .this community.
Even the most shocking case of mutilation,
ntthe terrible Draw Bridge accident here,
some years ago, bore no comparison to
the present horror. ,
The following Coroner’s, Jury has been
empanelled :-—J:lcob Weeks, H. Glover, A
Jackson, A. Aus'in, G. Ward Sellcck, D. C.
Nash, L. J. Curtis, Stephen Comstock, .l. T.
Prowitt, Henry Pennoyer, O. E. Wilson, J.
T. Adams. ,
P. S.—Thc Jury brought in a verdict in
accordance with the above facts. A letter
to us from a brother, states that we were in
error in the statement that the familyarc
been a great sufferer since childhood fr ~~m
an injury to his head received in falling from
aghorse. That he was a man of most gener-
0W nature and tendcr sympathies, 85c. ' “
SOUTH Nonw.lnx.—Thc usual Sabbath
services were not varied materially. ' Rev.
,Mr. Goodsell preached to his people morning
and evening, earnest and practical sermons.
Rev. Mr. Davies, of the Baptist Tabernacle:
delivered a discourse founded on the text.
“We have had Fathers of our flesh which
corrected us,and we gave them reverence;
shall we not much rather be in subjection-
unto the Father of spirits, and live.
In the absence of Dr. Spencer, of the
Episcopal church, Rev. E. C. Pattison ofllci-
ated,an'd preached from the text,i Peter,
21st verse, “That your faith and hope might
be in God.” ,
The Rev. Mr. Dunning, of the Congrega-
tionalchurch,was “at borne” in his own
pulpit, preaching from John ix: 4, 5 "I
must work the works of him who sent me,
for the night cometh when no man can
work,”_saying the favorite phrase of Christ
is “follow me"—enforcing it under these
beads: The “ necessity,” “ example of
Christ,” “The shortness of time and cer-
tainty of Death.”
The teachers held an el action for assistant
superintendent, and by a large vote selected,
. F. A. Ferris, nearly unanimously.
The Union Sunday School Teachers As-
socintion held theirlnonthly prayer mceting
in the Congregational church, which was
largely attended, and made interesting by
