( if some. Gazette. vTaesday,0.ctober 5, 1874. Q - ooronsrn. Spring has its vernal delights of green leaf and flower. Summer its full fruition of foliage and blooms. But it remains for these ' golden October runs to give us aripe merid- ian of glories- in field and forest. The red sumachs,thc fiery mercury, the scarlet. yel- , low and purple maple, the wild flowers; even the weeds and grasses, give us a charming panorama of delights which no otherjseason affords. And yet, all this largess of enrapturing beauty, has its tinge of . sadnesg “ We all do fade as the leaf," is the solemn and certain svowal of scripture. Oh,tha all our human lives might ripen as do t caves to that transcendent beauty Which foreshadows their death. As the Oc- tober leaves wither and fall and are swept away, so pass awaythe generations of men. But not like the leaves are our human possibilities. By good and noble deeds done our fellow men, we may leave behind us a fragranfiand perpetual memory, which, shall live tllough all coming time. Should it not be our highest ambition, here on earth to win such immortality. . -___—___== Ridgeflold Fur. Despite the threatening weather our Ridgefield friends had a most creditable exhibition at their town fair last week. The show of fruits, vegetables and grain were particularly fine. David R. Hoyt exhibited samples of field corn of which he had rais- ed 111 bushels and 8 quarts to an acre. He - stated his land ,to be light dry soil which had been in grass and fertilized with barn yard manure. Potatoes were especially fine and pumpkins unusually large even for Ridgefield. Mr. Betts, of Whipstock, showed sencral heads of the finest out-door grown cauliflower we have ever seen, and we tried hard to find the lucky producer that we might invest in one to astonisb Norwalk epicures. Had we been spccess-‘ ful, we had'it in mind to send at once for Camp and Morrison. The bread and dairy, including home made cheese, were .exceed- ingly meritorious and the samples were more than double in number, those exhibit- ed at our County Fair. The ladies industrial department was full and unusually excellent. . There were the daintiest‘ specimens of needle work, cracheting and embroideries. Mrs. Dr. Todd exhibited a specimen of spattcmvork, another of crochet knitting and an embroidered motto “Welcome" which were most delicately and artistically wrought, proving the lady to possess most excellent taste ”and accomplishments. S. ’ 0. Todd had specimens of crayon portrait work, quite ~creditably ‘done. John B. Brush, a lad, as we were told, a fine show» ing of crayon drawing and sketches. Whitney, Of course, had the sweepstakc in Photography. Potter was also there, organ-ically. The Hay Rake man and Gruman’s Ice Plows, had it all their own way. The show of cattle and horses was usually fine. The fast trotting was ex- ceedingly gratifying to thoseyho—won the premiums. The sons of Davrd Hoyt ex- hibited a team of four splendid farm horses. They were hitched to the family carriage- four-in-hand and would have won undivided admiration had-it not been for the two Nor- walk ”sports” riding behind. Our friend S. H. Rundle Esq, of Dan- bury, came on the grounds with his superb four-iu-hand team, but too late to compete in that class. Had he been in time he would have undoubtedly'carried off the highest prize. ‘ ‘ ~ Remarkably good order was maintained throughout. No gambling or liquor selling were tolerated. The first attempt at a clandestine sale of liquors was followed by an instant arrest. - We are requested to urge all persons having been awarded a' premium to call immediately for the sameg as the managers of the Ridgefield‘Fair take especial pride in paying all their premiums promptly on de- mand. Q The venerable and eloquent Rev. Dr. Mead preached both morning and evening from his pulpit, last Sunday, with all his wonted power and earnestness. He Will attend the General Convention of his church to be held in New York the coming week. "mg m: The annual meeting of the Consociation of "Fairfield West" is to meet at North Stamford on the 13th inst. Thevquestion of changing this venerable and local Congrega- tional association to “Conference,” will be one of the subjects discussed. The first church in Norwalk, after having duly con- sidered the proposed change, Will send its delegates uninstructed. V ‘. w The new Fairfield County Savings Bank commenced business Oct. 15f. There were thirteen depositors the first day, with a total of $3,600 of deposits. To date, the deposits foot about $6,000. It seems to have opened with unexpectedly encourag- ing auspices, despite the “hard times." It is becoming quite fashionable. even among business men, to give out unstamped checks, thus forcing cost upon the receiver and the trouble of attaching it to comply with the law. It is not all carelessness, which of itself is censurable, but it is large- ly meanness. If you owe a man fifty dol- lars, is it not rather “ small” to force, him to take forty-nine dollars and ninety-eight cents in settlement? Do not be careless; do not be mean for two cents, but—STAMP voun canons. ' ’ ‘ =23: The democracy were forced to selwt a new candidate for Selectman, owing to the positive declination of their old champion, Capt. J. P. Hanford. They implored him to run again, and would not take “ No” for, an answer until he had declined the honor four times. The Captain has serveddhe town as Selectman for five years and now feels that he should _be exempt from further service. ‘ ' # At the Prohibition caucus,_last Thursday night, the names of many of the old temper- 'ance war horses were suggested as proper candidates, but were not accepted. Is it not strange that the life-long temperance men oppose the tickets put out year after year as “temperance” tickets? m - A State Teachers’ Institute‘is to be held at Milford, this week commencing on Thurs- day evening and closing Saturday afternoon.

The temperance meeting at Lo'ckwood’s Hall last week was the largest and most earnest demonstration ever held in Nor- walk. Hundreds were obliged to leave the building, unable to .gain entrance; The meeting demonstrated beyond all peradven- turc,‘ a resolute determination on the parl' of our better citizens to do something to. wards arresting and checking the terrible inroads frcc rum is making upon the wel- fare of families and our community. There is no mistaking the purport of such a demonstration. ,God speed-every effort which shall lessen the crimes and miseries of drunkenness. .

' W Wedded Yet No Wife. » The .readers of the New York Weekly are familiar with May Agnes Fleming’s celebrated story entitled as above. The dramatization of that story has produced one of the most favorable sensations of any work of the present day. And the dermat- ic authoress Miss Louise Abbott, has been well rewarded by the flattering reception of the play. It abounds in beautiful natural situations, and the skill of the dramatist has carefully preserved the essence of the subject. J. C.

Our only split seems to have’been on Selectmen. Andrew Selleck, who heads the Republican Ticket, was chosen, and we lose the other two. The vote skews a de- termined disinclination to sustain candi- dates, simply because regularly nominated; ‘fhis lesson, so often repeated, ought not to be forgotten in. the future. It would be fairer, however, if such as defeated our tick- et yesterday would attend the nominating meetings and thus secure candidates they can and will support at the polls. The town is to be congratulated that our democratic friends have given us two such competent and generally acceptable Select- men. Mr. Hyatt is the Supt. 'of our Horse Railway,a young, energetic and clear~head- ed business man. Gen. Taylor was a"fig_ht- ing democrat” during the war, and‘ served creditably in the army and then in Congress.

By this, it would seem the thieves Were in a wholesale business, and had stolen more horses than they could manage, and had left the last two behind to be recovered subsequently. Officer Bartram was put upon the track of the thieves, and we hope ~may succeed in capturing them. . The two hors‘es stolen from Litchficld County about .the middle of last month, were soon after found in Bedding. As the Danbury cars were coming downvthey were both seen on the track, one being hoppled.

And yet, you _who have attained it, and we who are seeking it, know right well that, however much of honor and respect this suc- cess will bring, virtues and graces of char- acteriwill alone command our line and es- tee‘m. ‘Any man can become great,—:—can be a hero, the opportunity and inspiration be- ing given him, but. to be lovely and esteem- ed. is not theiWoi‘k of a moment, but is rather the result of a constant and long con- tinned exhibition of the best qualities of our nature. ,-_, _ . , The Bible tellslus that, “As in Water, face answerelh to-face, so the heart of‘man to man." Itjs therefOre in no spirit of fiatterry, but from the promptings of .our own hearts, that we are led thus publicly to express our high appreciation of the friend in whose honor we have met to- night. Many of us have known him. in boyhood, have-grown up with him Into manhood, and during these later years we have all been more or' less intimately brought into contact with him in DUS'SI and social circles; and we have always found him modest and unassuming, honest and upright, thoroughly devoted to the ln-' terests of thoss'in whose service he was engaged, and yet bearing himself toward all in a courteous, obliging and friendly manner. Placed in a position where it was easy to make enemies, he has multiplied friends, and will bear with, him to his Western home, their heartfelt wishes for his- prosperity and success. . And now my friend, although we believe that the most precious gift we can make to you, is the sincere expression of" our love and esteem, yet it is our desire that ”you should possess some more substantial and tangible token of-our affection and apprecia- tion. It is therefore my pleasure as well as myhonor, to'present to you in behalf of these friends, this watch. May it ever re- mind you, when among the‘friands whom we are sure you will gain for yourself, wherever you go, of the old associations and old friends who will give you a warm Welcome back, at some future time, to the home of your boyhood. A. H. Camp, Esq, U. 8. Internal Revenue, then presented, in behaif of the bunk he was about to leave a" heavy gold chain for the watch. With it he said he' was instructed to convey the Bank ofiicsr’s assurance of their high estimation of his fidelitiy and in- ! egrity, and their deep regret at his departure Another party being called out said all of young Curtis, good qualities were easily accounted for. - He had personally taken him when an inmature youth to .Washing- ton and 'tbe’purc moral atmosphere of the Capital City had done its perfect work. Then too, the young gentleman’s itching to “go‘west” had its undoubted origin in his faithful service in the Washington office at the New York Tribune. Closing in a more sincere strain,—he bore earnest testimony to Cirrtis character and genuine worth, and wished for him asencnessful, and .«apprecia' live ‘a career in his new western home. Mr“ Elbert Cprtis,ip p. few earnest and touching words expre'ssed’his' gratitude for the unexs - pected, yet all the more delightful, “send off” given his son. , The company broke up after having had a thoroughly enjoyable evening of-it. Young Curtis is one of ' our thoroughly upright and accomplished boys and we are sure The will “win his way and m e as earnest and true friends in his new sphere ofduty as those he leaves behind. He left us yesterday direct for Chicago. —————.‘" _ .p—.—_- Oascmva Posrax. Carma—A Washington special says that the mischievous character of the postal cards, urged at the time the law was under consideration by Congress, seems to be realized, for it is a source of great complaint at the Post Office Depart- ment that cards of a very coarse, vulgar and improper character are very frequently in the mails. This is particularly true since the Beecher scandal arose, The mails are burdened with cards containing improper and ribald jokes and doggerel having ref- erence to the Brooklyn scandal, and post~ masters are directed to exercise unusual care to prevent such cards passing through the mails. ' ——Hv—.—— Dr. Wood of East Windsor Hill, the well known ornithologist, has a story -of the affection of a ban for two bung kittens that beats about everything e se of the sort. A eat of his o‘nce brought forth a litter of five kittens in a box, in the op osite corner of which was a hen sitting. hree of the kittens were soon killed, whereat the old cat was so disgusted that she abandoned the other two. They,.hOWever, crawled over to the hen, and found refuge under her wings. The hemhaying lost all her eggs, coaxed them out ofthe peel end taught them how to drink milk, and then led them to the barnyard and scratched for them. They didn’t seem to understand the latter performance, but manifested their love for the old biddy by cuddling under her and climbing upon her back. ~ - .»————‘— One OFQll' ‘.-‘yo 1: girls," at an examina- tion in grammar, h 3th; day,lv en. ked why the noun ‘.‘.‘ba elo ’-’ wag sin lar, blushingly answered, "Because it is very singular they don’t get, married."

Casein—Lately a simple and pleasing ceremony took place at the Adelphi Hotel, when Captain Grace, of the Steamer Spain, belonging to the Nation- al Steamship Company, was presented with a valuable telescope. The pre tation was made by Col. W. S. Rowland, he London agent of the Company, on behalf of Dr. Sumuel Lynes, a well-known American physician, who, with his family, came over with Captain Grace on his last homewsrd voyage. The telescope was presented as an expression of admiration on the part, not only of Dr. Lynes, but of his family and fellow passengers, for the qualities of Captain Grace as a commander, and as a mark of the comfort and pleasure which they had all experienced during the voyage. The officers and crew, and the vessel itself, were highly spoken of.
