Mr. Dunn, Aug. 14th, 1878.
Having given some of the delights and
advantages of this wonderful region in our
last letter, we will as fairly state all its dis-
. advantages. To the feeble and nervously
~proatrated, even the little sail from Rock-
land to the Island is a cause of discomfort.
On a pleasant day the water will be as
smooth as glass, to all appearance, and yet
there is just enough of the ocean swell to
give that undulating motion so disagreeable
to those inclined to sea-sickness. But an
invalid who could go to New York in the
Americas without disagreeable sensations
about the stomach can do this four hours
sail with impunity, and see a panorama of
hills, mountains. islands and “sea walls and
slide” such as the eye can rest upon no
where else. In addition to the railroad from
Portland to Rockland, which now cuts off
all “outside" or ocean travel, there is a line
of new railway being rapidly pushed to com-
pletion from Bangor to Bucksport and Bel-
thet. It is in contemplation to extend this
to Eilsworth,whieh is but about eighteen
miles from Mt. Desert, with a good stage
road to the Island. There are many now,
who take the mail stage from here to Ban-
gor, but it. is forty-six miles, and a long and
Wearisome days ride for invalids. The next,
and to our mind, most serious draw back to
this locality is the fact that the Portland
steamer, Lewiston, the only easy and direct
mediumjof transit, can make but two trips a
week. She leaves Portland every Tuesday
and Friday nights at ten, or on arrival of
the 8 pm. trains from Boston. Thence she
goes to Machias, landing at the several
points on this Island. Another year, the
officers of the Lewistou informed us, she
would not go beyond Bar Harbor, and thus
she would be able to make three weekly
trips to and from Portland. A smaller boat
will connect with her at Bar Harbor and
run on to Machiaaport, so as to .accommo-
Ar.—

The County Fair. .
The thirty-third annual Fair and Cattle
Show of the Fairfieid County Agricultural
Society will be holdcn at the Society’s
grounds during all of one week, commen-
cing Monday, Sept. 15th. The fore part of
the season was not favorable to the earlier
cereals or vegetables, and yet a reasonably
good and abundant exhibit may be made.
Apples are also deficient, and yet there are
fine specimens of these, while we have seen
some pears exceptionally fine. Grapes are
very fine, and we hope to see a very large
and unprecedented exhibit of this delicious
fruit. In corn and potatoes there will be
no lack. Probably in fine horses and cattle
our county was never better stocked than
today, and we greatly mistake if this part
of the coming fair is not a gratifying suc-
cess. The interest in poultry seems on the
wane, and yet there are many choice breeds
about the county. A little effort will no
doubt secure a good and creditable show of
the feathery tribes; they add much to the
interest of a fair and should not be lost
sight of. 01‘ horses and trotting there will
be no lack, and if properly conducted forms
a leading feature of the exhibition.
Since the permanent location of the Fair
here in Norwalk, it has always been a won-
der to us that our merchants do not more
generally avail themselves of the opportu-
nity to exhibit the choicer specimens of their
wares. Our dry goods men, grocers, boot
and shoe stores and house furnishing dealers
might, and ought in their own interest, to
make an exhibit worthy the town and
themselves and the Fair. Our larger
manufactories might also lend much interest
to the Fair, if they would unite in a con-
certed effort to exhibit. The ofilcers of the
Society have been and will be unremitting
in their efforts to aid exhibitors who may
desire to add to the attractions of the Fair
in any of the departments.
Posters and premium lists may be had on
application to the Secretary or at this
ofiice.
Reunion of the Pub Connecticut
Volunteers.
The citizens of New Canaan have in-
date travelers from the east coming west-
ward. Could this connecting boat run to
Bastport, we are sure her owners would find
it to_their advantage, as we last year met a
score or more excursionists in difi‘erent parts
of the British Provinces who were most de~
sirous to take in Mt. Desert on their way
back, but could find no ready means of get-
ting here flom the east. Many from here
would also be glad to take this “inside”
route to Eastport, St. Andrews, St. Johns,
etc., and thus avoid the ocean fog and roll-
ing. This, with a very little advertising of
it, would become a moet'popular route, and
would be liberally sustained, we are sure,
during the excursion season.
By the present bi-weekly arrangement of
getting to and from Mt. Desert. most excur'
slonists feel a degree of uncertainty and in-
security, inasmuch as the :mails westward
are mainly limited to the steamer line. It
is true there is nominally a daily mail via
Somcsvilic, but letters somehow do not
reach Boston, 08‘ days, when sent by stage,
any sooner than if retained till steamer day.
Our whole-hearted host, Deacon Clark.
whose fame is in a thousand households, if
not in all the churches, has done much to
relieve as business and divided family so-
journers from uneasiness and apprehension.
He at his owu cost, has constructed a line
of telegraph to Ellsworth, and thus hitched
as to the great “Western Union,” and there-
by to the electric, pulsating heart of the
whole world. .
This year’s crowd of visitors also suggests
the necessity of increased hotel and board-
ing house capacity. The good,deacon Clarke
has been jammed as never before, and what
with farming his guests out to all the ad-
joining houses for sleeping, he has made all
comfortable and happy, as there seems no
limit to his capacity to feed all who come,
substantially and well. At Bar Harbor it
.a~ been even worse. There the churches
school houses have all been spread with
trasses, the_ boats in the Harbor all
Jght' into requisition, and even then
many have been obliged to sleep under
tents in true camp meeting style. Indeed,
it is said, that this pic~nic mode has become
so annoyingly popular that many landlords
have sufi'ered severe loss in sheets, purloined
to be improvised into tents for romantic
sleepers.
' We have Mr. Oliver Hoyt and son, and
Mr. Miller, of Stamford, here with us, who
add much to our social enjoyment. Mr,
Hoyt “went a fishing (as all must do here)
last Friday, and came in with the sensation
of the season. While vigorously hauling
h cod and haddock, three monster whales
came up ind “spouted" close to them. One
rose up about a dozen feet from the
stern of their boat, and what with W‘ms °f
their care “a anng of revolvers. the mon-
ster was induced to depart to a more com-
fortable distance. As it was, their boat
was tossed and {rightfully near being upset
by the huge devourer of Jonah. The
largest one was estimated to be from one
hundred and ten to a hundred and twenty
feet long. The largest one ever seen on
this coast. He spouted full thirty feet high,
and eclipsed the best‘efi‘orts of the new
style City Hall or Union Square fountains.
A fish story is worthless unless mathema-
tically exact. It is because of this that we
depart from our usual custom of not noticing
errors made in our indistinct manuscript.
But those two cod fish weighed one hundred
.. end meaty pounds plump, and we can't
tolerate your cutting down the weight, as
you did in my last letter. Capt. Young of
Bangor caught them bnta short distance
from where we were fi_ahing,.and they were
larger than an ordinary man. We ex-
plained to the guests here, that you at home
knew the Yankee mind there would not
bear'the entire truth to be told at the first
statement, and so we break the correction
by degrees, in justice to Capt. Young and.
the cod fish of Mt. Desert. B

Tn ’Wua'rm—Last Friday morning
we left the genial and necessary warmth of
a glowing birch-wood fire at Moosehead
Lake, and rode to Bangor in overcoat and
wrap. Saturday morning we left Boston in
a awelter and by the time we reached New
Haven the thermometer had reached 93°.
But the same cool, invigorating mountain
air we had left the day before two thousand
feet' above the sea, swept down upon us
again Saturday night, and there are few
more golden and glorious days in a whole
year, than was Sunday, Aug. 94th.

Gen. Wm. T. Clark, Ex.-M. C. of Texas
and~uow P. M. at Galveston, is still in
Washington to head ofi‘ Gov. Davis, who,
having just been rte-nominated for another
Gubueratoriai race, is racing in hot haste
to Washington, bound to break up the
Clark regime in Texas or “bust.” As the
General has the ear and heart of the Presi-
dent, the Governor has got a fight of some
tude on his hands. His stay in
Washington will no doubt be prolonged to
even a greater length than before, when
Clark, as he‘says, had to pay the washer
woman’s bills for restoring the Governor’s

vited the 17th Ct. Veterans to hold their
anniversary reunion at that place on Thurs-
day, the 23m inst. It is expectedthat Nor-
walk will be pretty largely represented on
that occasion. Every efiort has been made
by the Executive Committee to render the
meeting one of special interest to all who
may find it possible to attend. This regi-
ment, being more especially a county organ-
ixation, has Warm and earnest friends in
every town, and its many surviving mem-
bers with their friends, will, without doubt,
havea most agreeable day of it at New
Canaan. _
Tun lineman—The continuance of the
bad weather from day to day, again had a
depressing effect upon the Regatta last Tues-
day. During the morning of that day, how-
ever. the clouds lightened up, and it was de-
cided to go on with the race. Some delay
necessarily occurred, and it was after one
o’clock before the boats were started. In
the first class, W. R. McCready, Saugatuck,
entered the “Isabel ,” and Mr. Meeker, South-
port, the “Ada.” In the second class, were
the following entries z—Hoyt Bros, South"
Norwalk, Bertha ; C. A. Meeker, Southport,
Ge Easy ; Hugh Masterson, Bridgeport,
Americas; Mr. Ketchum, Neta. The third
class included boats from Norwalk, Bridge-
port, Westport, and New Haven. The boats
started, but the breeze was so light that the
contest could hardly be designated a trial of
speed. They sailed over the course, but the
judges unanimously decided to call it no
race, and postponed the Regatta until to-day.
This decision caused some dissatisfaction,
but the judges think they were fully justified
in their action. If pleasant the race will
take place today, when it is hoped there
will be a large attendance, and that every-
thing will pass off to the general satisfaction.
The Steamboat Excursion to Oriental
Grove next week, Wednesday, under the
auspices of the First Baptist Sunday School,
promises to be a'great success. Indeed,
with fare so low, and music by the band,
we cannot think of anything which could
be offered to the public mind, more “£er
to “take" than this excursion. Look out
for the? bills.

The people will, we know, accord especial
praise to our Borough authorities for the
successful efforts they made Saturday night
to break up the loafer gang nuisance about
the Bridge. Men, Women, and children,
pcrambulated the Bridge Saturday evpnins
ad libitum “with _nnvvo so morest or make
afraid.“ We hope there is now an end of
the innumerable knots of blackguards and
saliva ejecters who have heretofore monop-
olized our side walks.

It is really unaccountable that so enter-
prising aud public spirited a city government
as that of South Norwalk should longer
tolerate that mud and stench hole, surround-
ing the approaches to the depot. The New
York and New Haven, the Danbury and
Norwalk and the Horse Railway Companies
ought and would no doubt, cheerfully pay
their just proportion of the expense of
draining off this slough, which has so long
ofi‘euded both the eyes and noses of all visit-
ors to the depot in Wet weather.
W
Tux. Tnor.--The storm last Monday,
again prevented the trot arranged for by
Mr. Lee, but it was finally held on Tuesday.
During the race a bad accident occurred,
Douglass and Emperor colliding. The
driver of Emperor had several ribs broken,
and his horse was somewhat injured. The
race was continued however, and won by
Ned Forrest. _
Next Saturday a trot is announced to take
place between horses owned by W. B. Fish
and Theo Price for 8250 a side.

- South Norwalk.
The new city government has appointed
a committee to investigate and report upon
the questihn o'f introducmg‘water into .the
city. This is one of the wisest and most
important enterprises the city has yet had
under consideration. Interested—as we are.“
and always have been, in the prosperity of
every section of Norwalk, we sincerely re-
joice to see this matter taken hold of in a
spirit of earnestness. We know, that as a
matter of public advantage to South Nor-
walk, to say nothing of private convenience,
the introduction of public water will prove
of incalcuiable benefit to the place. The
good Lord has abundantly favored the
place. It has unsurpassed natural advan-
tages and attractions for both residence and
business. Its rare combination of water
and rail communication with New York,
the energy, spirit and enterprise of its resi-
dents are facts fully recognized. As a
place of residence, probably no spot within
a hundred miles of New York, if indeed
anywhere, can supply so beautiful, extended
and varied views within so few minutes
walk of hourly New York trains. Sites for
dwellings and manufactories are yet plenti-
ful and cheap, and there 1s no reason why
this portion of Norwalk may not become a
centre of increasing population, wealth,
commercial: and manufacturing progress
and development. They have gas and all
the modern conveniences and requisites of
a pretty suburban city to attract population,
and manufactories except water. This prime
necessity of modern life has been really
their only uncnjoyed blessing. Its intro-
duction should be no longer postponed, for
its value cannot, we are sure,be exaggerated.
The best supply at the least cost should be
the only questions to deliberate upon.
There should be no delay or hesitation as-
to the determination to have water at once.
We are_ccrtaiu a vast majority of the
people at the “Bridge" will rejoice to see
our neighbors as fully enjoying the com-
fort, health and luxury of water works, as
we do here, and the hope is general that
they may find some ample source of supply
independent of the Borough works.
Hiram Hoyt, an old and favorably known
resident of Norwalk, died on Wednesday
last at his Down Town residence. Mr.
Hoyt was a man of rare amiability audun-
questioned integrity. He’ was appointed,
by Mr. Lockwood, as his first conductor on
our horse cars, and he faithfully served both
his employees and the public in that ca-'
pacity until quite recently. Although his
life has always been unostentatious and his
daily walk in quiet paths, his death never-
theless has caused a void in our community,
feciionaic regard.

Two Prawns—At the time of decora-
ting the soldiers’ graves last spring, loving
hands placed a beautiful vase filled with
choicest flowers, over the silent form of a
dead hero sepulchered'in our cemetery.
The soldier thus honored had enlisted when
but a child, and though a veteran, in the
country’s service, was scarce past the legal
age of enlistment whenthe fatal bullet
caused his young life’s blood to flow out.
Everything about the grave,—the monu-
ment—the inscription—the vase-the fiow-‘
era—were touching and tender; appealing
to all there is sacred and holy in human
sympathy and reverence. Yet some being
was base—no, rather let us in hopeful char-
ity say—thoughtless enough to’sfeal from
ihat soldier boy’s grave love’s tendereat
offering of vase and flowers! But igladlyv
let us a veil over the shock' and pain caused
the bereaved friends by this vandal act,
and contemplate a brighter phase of our
poor, human nature :—Hard by the sol-
dier's tomb is a little mound, scarce a span
long, and yet, oh, how oil has every leaflet
of grass drooping over the dear, dead baby’s
grave, been watered bya bereaved moth-
er’s tears. Visiting it one Sabbath eve, the
mother found a little rose—bud tenderly
placed on the departed cherub‘s grave—-
laid there by unknowns—perhaps, strangers
hands! The heart melted, and tears came
unbidden, as in the desecration narrated,
but oh how difi'erent the emotions! That
little rose-bud, so full of thoughtful tender-
ness,-—percbance of some other stricken
mother’s love, restored the faltering faith in _
human character and goodness. The world
seemed brighter and purer and God’s crca- ‘
tures more loving and lovable‘ than ever
before! So may not‘we all drop uncon-
scious benedictions along life’s pathways,
. when the tender chords of our better nature
vibrate in harmonious accord with Christ’s
command to “Love tby_Neighhor as Thy-
self. ”

His cottage is by no means the grand a air
that was to often described duriu the heat
ofa political content. It sets bac from the
read some distance, and is of a' subdued
order of architecture,a sort of. mixture of
English villa and Swiss chalet
_ . ." Its colors
are dingy, and its general a pearanee by no
means as attractive and cost as is generally
supposed. Nevertheless, w ilo it would be
taken for the residence of a quiet gentleman
ofposition and tasteglt' does not a pear to
be unbecoming the... ; President whose life
here is so quiet and , unobtrusive. Nobody
would know from his manner‘ofliving and
his ersonal intercourse with thecltizens of
the ranch, that General. Grant-3' océhpi'éda
higher station in the world :than his-2 neigh-
bors. Whatever may be said against-Gen-
eral Grant and his administration of the,
government, it cannot be said that his man-
ner of living at ' Long Branch ‘is unbe-
coming or ostentatious. The family of the
President have placed themselves it n the
same social level as other .cultiv'at " and re-
spectable families, There is no exclusion
whatever. The carriage of Mrs. Grant is
il'equently seen before the cottages of other
residents, and there is no indication of a dif-
memberd that the rigid social etiquette of
'Washington precludes the families of the
President and Vice-President from return-
ingcaiis, it will be seen that the position
which the President’s family have seen fit to
take here is one that can not but beapproved
as the most sensible audjudicious that could
be followed.

Mr. Samuel E." Smith, a native of New

cisco, on the 12th inst. The San—Fraueisco
Chronicle, of the-318th, gives'rthe following
reportof-the supposed accident by'mhich
Mr. Smith lost his life. .
Samuel E. Smith, of the firm of Benton.
Smith d5 00., lumber dealers at Pier 8, Stu
art Street,,met with a fatal accident yester-
day on board the ship Carrier Does, lying at
the Mission-street wharf. -At about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon the colored cook went
down into the hold to get wood and coal.
While there he was startled by a low moan
and retreating hastily to the upper deck. in-
formed the mate that there was some one
below, The main hatch, which had been
closed all day, was lifted off, and upon
lookin down, a man was seen lying span”
his ha in the hold nearthe keelson. pon
ing to him he was found in an lnsenaible
cond lion and very low. He was removed
to the upper deck, and physicians sent for,
but he expired in a short time after being
discovered. Mr. Smith had not been seen
since 10 o’clock yesterday morning, at which
time he was noticed on Mission-street
wharf. The Carrier Done arrived from New
York about two weeks since and was for
sale. It is thought that Mr. Smith was
looking the ship over with a view of par-
chasing it. The firm to which he belongs
are heavy dealers in lumber and own
several vessels. The main hatch had not
been opened during the day, but a hatch
thirty feet from it was open and ate s in
position to descend to the lower dec . It
was quite dark between decks, and the sup-
position is that the deceased went down this
batch, and walking forward, trip on the
edge of the main hatch, and pitc ed head-
long luto the hold, a fall of 10 feet. The
bottom of the hold was covered with coal
dust and when found the unfortunate man’s
hands were black, showing that he must
have crawled about in the dust before being
diatovered. . *
Coroner. Stillman arrived on board the
ship-at half-past 8 o’clock, and selecting a
jury from the crowd, held an inquest in the
cabin. An examination of the body showed
that the deceased had struck upon his left
shoulder. The bones of the shoulder were
badly shattered,1aud a large black spot
showed that he had struck the edge of the
keelson in his fall. From all appearances
he had ev'ideutl lain there in his. agony for
several hours, uring a portion of which
time he may have been conscious.
The jury found a verdict in accords
with the above facts.
Mr. Smith leaves a wife and two children.
He was about thirty-six years of age and a
native of Connecticut. He came to this
cit about fifteen years ago, and is reputed
to ave grown rich in the. lumber trade, in
which 0 has been engaged for several
ears. . He was a member of the Masonic
raternrty, and leaves a wide circle of friends
to mourn his untimely death.
When-Mr. Smith first went, to California
he was employed by Mr. Robert G. Byxbee.

came a partner in a lumber firm, as above
stated. ‘ '
