THE STORM.-—Tllls vicinity was visited by
another severe storm on Thursday afternoon
last. The thunder and lightning was severe,
the rain came down in torrents with a
sprinkling of bail, and for a short time a
whilwind raged “in spots,” doing great
damage to trees. Lightning struck the
Union Factory, but appears to have done no
damage. In Winnipauk it struck the Felt
Mill, a large “ball of fire” entering one
room and exploding, but fortunately no
one was injured, and but little damage was
done. The residence of Morgan Smith, Esq.,
Was also struck, the fluid entering the kitch-
en, but doing no serious damage. '
Down Town 'a house situated between
the harbor and East Avenue was struck and
a man named John Brown was prostrated.
At first it was thought that he was killed,
but he subsequently revived and is out
again. The house was somewhat damaged.
A place owned by Rev. C. M. Selleck, on
the east side of the creek, was somewhat
damaged,atree falling and crushing in a
chimney and part of the roof.
At John Honnecker’s corner things were
lively for a few minutes, the wind breaking
off a large limb of a tree, which fell on the
house, crushing in the chimney, etc.
The wind made great havoc among the
trees in many places, and cut up some queer
freaks. In Wilton, among others, Mr. Chas.
Marvin is reported a heavy loser, a large
number of trees in his yard and on the farm
having been torn down or badly injured.
The house of Edward Mills, at: Cranberry
Plain, was struck by lightning. Mrs. Mills
and her mother were temporarily prostrated
by the shock and the building was somewhat
shattered but was not set on fire. Insured
in the N orwalk Insurance Company, and

The amusement loving people of N orwalk
are to be favored the coming season by eu-
tertain ments that seldou visit a place of this
size. The securing of such is mainly due to.
the enterprise Of the manager of our beauti-
ful little Opera House. Among the many
attractions already "booked” for next seasOn,
we wOuld mention that of Mr. Edwin Booth,
with an excellent company selected by him-
self for a short trip through the eastern
states, his opening night being at the Opera
House, Sept. ,11th, when he will appear in
his celebrated character of Hamlet. Mr.
Weed has received the tickets, &c., and will
begin the sale of seats about Wednesday,
Sept. 4th. Mr. Weed informs us that he
also has engagements with Albert W. Aiken,
author and actor, with his new play entitled
“The Red Machpa," which the New York
‘ papers say is the most sensational of all sen-
sation plays yet produced. Also coming
Tony Pastor, with one of the largest com-
panies now traveling ; then Furbish 85 Wil.
ton, from the Fifth Avenue Theatre, with
Daly's play of Divorce,—this is the original
company that performed at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre last season with great success, and
has since played inall the principal cities of
this country ; then , Edwin Adams, well-
k :own in the amusement world, and John’
E. Owens, with whom our peopleare already
familiar ; then, for a change of amusements,
Scott Siddons will give us one evening of
readings, followed by a score of lesser lights,

one.

Things is gettiu hot dOw'n here [hr the as
well as amobzin, and all becaus peple is so
curus. The charmin Widow Bedot used tu
say that all folks is querc but sum folks is
querer than others, which shows that she
knew a deal about nater or any other man.
Now folks down here is not. only querc but
they are euros, and the querest thing about
it is that the men are cumser than the
witnen. And its all along of Twaddle.
Everybody wants to know who the riter is,
and every man believes its his naber, and is
bound to fasten it onto him. When a man
sees another man that looks baf way smart
or intellectooal lookin,a stirrin around with
one eye Open,iu this hot, lazy weather, he
scz tu hisself, “That’s Twaddle,” and goes
fur him, and so about every man that can
spell b-a-k-k-e-r three times runnin without
stuttcrin or droppin out his false teeth, has
in sware mornin, noon, and after 4 o’clock,
that he ain’t no connecshun of Twaddle’s,
or else disturbtthc peace. Evry mornin wen
I cum in site of Peck's corner again to ther
Post Ofils after my male,I hear sum of ther
beer gnzzlers sing out, “here cums Twad-
dle," and I hev tn “aware otf”as stoutly and
as ofen as good old°“Rip." One feller got
me in a tite place last week, andI thought
my time was up and I should hev in go
clamin for a living-or get on ther perlice.
He actooally caught me a tryin to git a two
doller billchangcd in Vt alt Quintet-is. He
sed thet wuz prima facie evidence thet I lit
“facts” fur ther GAZETTE, but I showd him
it wuz on ther mayer’s bank and finely con:
viuced him thet I bed jest negosbiated alone.
Ef this thing goes on much longer, every
good lookin man down here will hev tu
wear a. sheep skin afi‘ydavy ontu his’ coat
thet he aint Twaddle and dont belong to
ther same church, and don’teven know ther
mayer by sight—in a dark nitc. .
Spekin about ther mayor, you know I hev
let him‘ off on vakashun. I told him he
better not go otl‘ on a stag party cruisin
around the ileland homes down on the old
Bay State coast where he’s so well known,
and he finally went off sensibly with good
to spy out ther land,look after Greely stock
down thar (which. he found is below par),
and to get up sum material fur new fish
story; as his old uns is pretty well worn
out. He lett here on a Thursdy, made a
“short stop” at Springfield, and started agen
Friday mornin enjoyin a fine ride along the
valley ,Of the charmin Connecticut, thro’
Massachusetts and old Varmount till the
party arriv at Lake M-e-m-p-h-r-e-m-a—g-o-g,
(that’s spelt rite for I copied it frum ther
geography,)‘ or “Beautiful Watei'” as ther
hotel landlords call it when they’re fisbin
fur customers. He found ther fisbin good,
but nothin like what it wuz when Iwuz a
boy afore that tbro' line railroad to Montreal
and Quebec wuz erectid‘, and.wen we used
in hev more fun ketchin‘. muscalonges than
ther mayes ever did baulin in horse mackrel
ofi‘ Nantuket, as he tells so much about. The
party got “high" on “Owl’s Head," (several
thousand feet abuv ther ilsnd-dotted lake)
but not on “Mountain House" mountain
dew, and crossed the linen—not fish line,—'
into Canady, but did not do much bathin in
the lake as the water ft-ltitu strong of ice.

our boyze iz short—by his absfnu ! Well, az
I sed, the growlin and cussin at ther im-
provmints, ther lisenscs and ther taxis, goes
bravely on and we are, in a ragin feever
cause tn be a grate city and beat ther Bridge
costs so much on ma my. Cood it' he did ded
bed, our peepil would continner tu shout
hozanners tu Dud and ther dear departid
atorescd. But tom's is what‘hez made us go
outer ther breakers! If sutltin iz not did
soonly, our grate city, ther wnrk uv our
gratis! minds and most remarkabil inteleet
goze up. We can stand injunctions, we kin
endoorc ther unfeclin gibes uv outciders,
and ther sneers‘ uv envius and molishus
passers by, who larf when ther breskmen
cry aloud South Norwalk frum ther car's,
just az they has bin instructed by ther pres-
ident at ther'request uv Dud and ther grate
absint one, afore mentioned. Yes, We kin
endoor all uv “ther stings uv outragus for-
tin," but we can’t and won’t endure thei-
libril systim uv taxasbun which our intoo-
lectooalgiants hez prepard fin to bless us
with 1. .Day by day I bears ther mutterins
uv th‘ distant thunder, and now- its no un
commin thing to hear critters in ther image
uv men declare that we ain’t haf so well
governed and pertectid of cctara as we wuz
when our grate cbietjustis was plane select-
man. And ther idil crowd alers shouts
“amen," and “that’s so,” and sicb. Where
this mutinus spirit iz in end I noze not. The'r
sore beds they pitches inter Dad, and they
pitches inter ther aldermin, and ther road
cummishuners, and pitches inter about every
thing but our ferosbus perlice. Happy is it
that there's one institooshun they done»:
pitch intu, fur run byHodg as it is, that ex-
perimiut wouldn’t be healthy and comforti-—
ble ter ther transgressers. Not muchly l
But growlin is a epidemic here and prevails
wuss than skeeters at Woodyville, or ther
shakes, at Springwood. Unless ther pizen
kin be erradikatid frum our body polertic,
we’re a gene goose. Our grate city I mean.
It dozent seem that mankind cood be so
base az tu enjoy all uv ther luxuries and
privileges and glories uv livin in a celebratid
city, ther envy and admirashun uv all ther
world, and then go back outer ther poor tax
collectnr, who has a hard ’nufi' time earnin
his livin a gettiu his money down here,
without-gittin aboosed with it. When they
cant abooze anybody else, they alus ahooze
my fast friend, ther mayer, who trize all biz
mite tu redoose ther taxis. Sins Dud druv
over ter Obappaquack and “smiled” over
ther Later Franklin‘s tin cup uv cold spring
water, and sins he wuz entertained by Judge
Secmer at Litchfield, and sins he hez been
put on ther 12th district 'comniittee,:by ther
Hartfurd- Greeley Hed Ceters to elect Ole
White Hat, they iz madder than ever. But
Dud ,hez got theze pizen enemies uv his
where their bare iz short. Eanamost evry
man uv them hez tn cum in his nashunal
bank tu git ther bizniss paper dun. Then
they is informed that ther bank president at
her Bridge, who wuz tu ther legislator got
uzry law repeeled, and ther bank president
uv Sou-tit Norwalk is ekally reddy tu respect
the law. In short, they is told .tht if they
‘uccds muney they kill hev theirtnotcs bought
at a price tu be agreed upon. 'I‘her daze uv
grace and uv discount iz parst tu them, and
they finds in ther sorrer that there‘s punish-
mmtat‘ore as well'as arter dethl Whatever
secrit enemy gits ahead uv or ontu our Dud
. Cood we refund that 815 which wuz took
company down to ther Green Mountain State ,
sembly, with his wise aspect and glass eyze,’
lays awake nites,that’s all. He iz a cum;
critter, and sins be hez got this Greeley bee
inter hiz bonnit, I hez had mor’n usual
trubble with him as keeping him steady. He
is prone uv so”much and wants to pres so
much more, that it‘s a hard job I've under-
taken, but I’m bound to persevere. It shell
never be sad that Twaddle put his hands tu
ther mayor’s agriculturil plow and looked
back, Where a man hez so many irons in
the fire it izn’t to be wondered that he lets
one nv them get burnt occashional. El' he
gets over this Greeley turn safelynnd sticks
in my advice, I‘ll make a man uv him yet.
We hev met together, severil times, in a
lovin way had talked up ther plan uv ther
Greeley campane. Dud wood like to erect
a pole, but he don't no exactly who iz tu
contribute ther flag. We expectid Ingersill
would a giv that, but he wuz detained in
N00 York on his return hum. Garvy Wood
give us sntbin fur it, but be in is bizy else-
where. Woody wood- erect pole and giv
flag and ropes, but nnfortunit fur us, as I
sed, he is absint. We cooi make 3 im-
posin show, fur we shood hev ther few
faithful Greelcyites what has made a Repub-
lican club 'at ther Bridge cum down, and
ther band woodplay, and the gamins cum
out, and Toales, and San Domingo, and our
bed parson. and Dad wood be there. and
Woody, and Garvy, and Ingersell, and all
wood be thar in spirit, the absint in ther
body, and evrything wood be luvly, and
ther nashnal bird wood be elevatid. How
we cood get the pole up or man ther hal-
yards is a connundrum we can’t anser yet,
but time, wieh sctts all things rite, will work
us out uv all our perplexitics and we shell
magnify ourselfandbe glorious in workin a
perlitikle reform. Et we make a club we
shell make Dud president 'uv course. Not
wantiu to call onto ther disloyal democracy
for help, we shell be bothered tu fill out ther
various ofilscs nv secretary, treasurer and
janitur, but we‘re in hopes we shell hev sum
nddisbuns before ther ides uv Novembur.
fruin Greeley ther furst‘time he psi-st a Set-
urdy nite at our city we should be glad. but

I kin see no immegiate my uv raisin theiz

so secoorly locked up that he couldent get

The Cousin: Fall;
. We print elsewhere the official programme
for the Annual Fair of the County Agricul-
tural Society which is to open Sept. 10th.
The Society has made some very‘ decided
improvements this year, and we look for-
ward to an interesting exhibition. 'The old
“mammoth tent” which has figured so con?
spicuously and honorably in the past, has
finally been discarded, and in its place has
been erected a fine Exhibition Hall, which,
in connection with the other ball, will fur-
nish ample room and protection for all
articles which may be received for exhibi-
tion. The new Hall was built by Messrs.
Weed & Tuttle, of New Canaan, and has
been found entirely satisfactory by the
Building Committee. It is located at the
lower end of tbebld Hall, with which it is
‘eonnected,aiid runs at right angles. It is
much larger than the other, Being 50 feet
wide by 150 in length,—-the old Hall being
45x100. At the east end a fine dining room
is to be partitioned ofi', measuring 25x50 feet.
It is intended to have this saloon kept by a
regular caterer, and it is expected to prove a
valuable feature and one of great con-
venience to visitors. A large stage is to be
erected next to the dining room, where the
band will be stationed, and from which ad-~
dresses will be made. Fronting the stage
in the main Hall, and to the side in the old
Hall, will be such ample space for listeners
that “rushes" will be next to impossible, and
thus speakers and audience will be bene-
fitte‘d. Long tables have been erected
throughout both buildings, and there will be
far more room than overbefore for desirably
displaying articles of all kinds. The build-
ings will be lighted throughout with gas so
that all articles can be seen to advantage at
the evening exhibitions. As the aisles ex-
tend tbrough both buildings, the young
people who throng the fair evenings will
have room for extended promenades with-
out exposure to the'night Iair, and extra in-
ducements will be offered this season in the
way of “music by the band," which will be
in attendance throughout the fair.
Another great convenience, which the
crowds of ladies always in attendance will
fully appreciate, is the erection of a large
dressing and retiring room for ladies, which
'will be supplied with all conveniences.
This room is to adjoin the Hall, with the en-
trance trom insidc,'and will be 10 feetwide
by 28 feet in length. A kitchen, of suitable
dimensions, is also to be erected adjacent to
the dining room.' The new, Hall is sur-
mounted with a cupola and flag stafi‘,,and
the buildings present quite an imposing ap-
pearance. The Building Committee, Messrs.
James Finney, E. A. Kroger and Noah
Bradley, have devoted much time to the
work of erecting the new Hall, and deserve
much more than the simple thanks of the
Society. They have done their work well
and provided ample and excellent accom-
modations, and if the executive Officers of
the So'ciety do as well we are sure the peo-
ple will show all due appreciation,!and the
Society will in the end he gainers.
