month under the auspices of the Agricultu-
ral Society. The’ managers hope that the
people willtako'tn'jerestin the affair and do
what they can to make it ' a" success. The
exhibition will be held two days 23d and
24th. In addition to the'legitimate show of
plants, flowers, vegetables, etc., there will
be several features for the entertainment of
the people. Among others, the favorite
Wheeler 85 Wilson Band has been engaged
to furnish music for Wednesday evening
and Thursday, which feature will be special-
ly appreciated. Arrangements have also
occn made with Prof. Fisher fora grand
balloon ascension from the grounds on
Wednesday afternoon, in his mammoth
balloon “The Great Bonanza.” _ He will
manufacture gas on the grounds, our local

'.-ssary quantity in the time allowed. A
small advertising balloon will be inflated
on Wednesday at the Bridge.

There was a fair attendance at the Pine
island Cemetery on- Sunday afternoon last
: ) witness the dedication of soldiers’ graves.
ltev. Mr. Haulenbeck made the address,
and there was singing by a glee club com-
posed ofMisscs Hannah and HattieJennings,
.‘vtiss Brigg and Messrs. Geo. C. Partrick
——-Austin. The graves were decorated
with flowers by the soldiers.
At Rowayton, at the Union Cemetery,
‘he attendance was about the same as in
~)revious years, but the exercises were of a
'ess informal character than usual. Mr.
Chas. R. Townsend made a brief address.
The soldiers desire us to return thanks to
those who furnished flowers, and especially
to Mrs. E. A. Woodward, of South Nor-

Our Board of Borough Burgesses have
appointed a committee, consisting of Mayor
Daskam and Burgess Samuel Realty, and
'Dr. Samuel Lynes, and John P: Beatty,
Esq., to confer with the Water Commission-
ers of South Norwalk, with a glow of
uniting, if possible, upon some satisfactory
basis of supplying that city with water
from the Borough works. There'ought to
be no dificulty in accomplishing a result so
wise and beneficial to all concerned, and
probably there would not be, except for the
inconsiderate action and intemperate dis‘ ‘
cussion which has heretofore attended this
matter. South Norwalk can have. good
water and have it new, at far less cost than
it is possible to be obtained otherwise, and
there should be no further higgliug over the
matter.

' The annual exodus of wealthy American
families to Europe has caused a complete
panic in the horse market. Elegant family
establishments turn-outs are put into the
New York maria and knocked down at as
few hundred, as the animals and ,outfits
have cost their owners thousands. At a
sale at Arch. Johnson‘s bazar InstThursday,
elegant single carriage horses sold from 025
up to $285. One pair of well matched and
warranted animals sold for $425. Select- '
man Selleck is reported to have purchased
one of New York’s celebrated fiyers last
week, for a less number of hundreds that
the same horse recently brought thous’ands-_
The hard times seem to have cut down

The authorities of New York have issued
attachments upon the properties conveyed
by Connolly and Sweeny, in an action to
recover seven millions of dollars stolen by
the Tweed thieves. These suits are brought
in consequence of the recent'afiidavit made
by James H. Ingersoll as to their participa-
tion in the public plundering. Considerable
consternation has been caused bythis ac-
tion of the courts from the fact that all the
real estate thus levied upon had been trans-
ferred to other parties and many instan-
ces no doubt exists where the sales were
bana fide and the purchasers entirely inno-
cent parties. .Thus far about two millions
has been levied upon.

It is when everybody is improving his
then that thriving business men lay 'out‘
more and more means in the employment of
labor. All classes purchase good food . and
good clothing;all spend money freely in
traveling or anything else they desire, and
everybody appears to be prospering. This
process goes on till every kind of enterprise
and production is overdone, and a sudden
stagnation sets in like a wintry blast over a
garden. Great failures and great losses oc-
cur, capitalists try to get each his own
means gathered together and placed in 1safe
keeping-even at the lowest rate of interest.
It is not profit so much as security that the
capitalist desires, and he keeps his money
quietly till the time for safe’and pro fitable
use shall come round again. -
The nation is in this state just now, but
the time for active enterprise is probably
not far distant.
The good people of Westport are thor-

the destruction ofa line of thrifty shade
trees of many year’s growth, a beautiful
hedge, and the removal of fences, build-
ings, &c., &-c. ,'ad lr'br'tum. The proposed act
is simply a work of desecration, and it is
amazing that it could find tolerance among
civilised men for a moment. The whole
difficulty is chargeable, however, to the apa-
thy or carelessness of the selectmen. who
suffered an order of the court to issue by
default. The case is now being tried before
commissioners, who will no doubt properly
adjudge the damage of so irreparable a
damage to that unusually attractive resi-
dence. ' ‘

usual number of courses each dish to be
cooked by the ladies t emselves without
aid from the servants. The offer was ac-
cepted. The dinner was provided a day or
two after the young ladies acting as wait-
resses. The cooking was declared to be ex.

The story of Carrie Madden of Oakland,

She fell desperately in love with her school
master, and besought him to marry her, but
everybody supposed that her fancy was a
mere whim, and the schoolmaster told her
he was already engaged. One night she
wrote a sentimental note, saying that she
had been so grievously crossed in love, that
she did not want to liye 'and then hanged
herself, Now the schoolmaster admits that
he had a sincere affection for her, and had
intended, when she should become of a
properage, to propose marriage, but be de-
clares that he was careful to hide his senti-
ment, and seems to have been so honorably
circumspect that the girl was heart broken
by his apparent indifference.

Woon Snasoxun wrm SAUL—It has been
found by long experience that immersion
in salt water whilg wood is seasoning, pre
vents or retards its decay. In Holland,
where acttvo shipbuilding basbeen carried
on for centuries, this fact .is universally ad-
mitted and utilized. Other maraitme na-
tions have also know; and taken advantage
of it. It is found, too, that piles sunk in
salt water last for an unlimited time. Ex-
ternal causes of decay may be neutralized
by painting the wood; but against the in-
ternal dry rot, this is in cctive. In order
to prevent dry rot, woo must be subjected
to treatment when seasoning,and salt seems.
lobe the most available of the cheap anti-
dotes. Even after dry rot has commenced
in timber, immersion in salt .atcr checks
the decay and preserves the remainder of the
wood. It is said that in the salt mines of
Hungary and Poland, the galleries are sup-
ported by wooden pillars which last unim-
paired for ages, from being impregnated
with salt.

At the late city meeting, a committee of
three was appointed by the acting Mayor,
to obtain an amendment to the charter at
this session of the Legislature. They have
made a public report “tnat they are pro-

sion of the Legislature," and cite said. law,
viz :-—No petition for the alteration of the
charter of any city shall be heard before

session.” The quoted law is conclusive, but
the question is asked earnestly “ how then,
were the three amendments of the charter
obtained in 1871, ’72, and ’73.? It is, not
only a sad commentary upon our represen-
tative, but somewhat of a reflection upon
one of the committee and tax-councilman,
who at the time the last and most expensive
amendment was passed, was a councilman.

The annual meeting ,of the delegates to
the Grand Temple of Honor and Temper-

Wednesday last. Two or more delegates
were present from every Temple in the
State. The reports of the Grand Worthy
Templar, T.,G. W. Jefi‘erson,Grand Worthy
Recorder F. H. Sage, Grand Worthy Treas-
urer L. J. Ives, were read, showing the
Grand Temple to he in a prosperous. Condi-
tion, and doing much good in their labors
of reforming men. The reports from all
the Temples were full of encouragement,
and the feeling is deep seated that the re-
formatory work being ‘done by the Temple
of Honor is a necessary work, and is saving
many a man from everlasting ruin. The
suggestion was made by the G. W. Templar
that there is great need of holding frequent
public meetingsgnd strive to enlist public
opinion and sentiment in favor of the prin-.

but needs more men, large hearted, consis-

Haven, W. 0. Buckley, of Hartford, and F.
Stanley Root, Esq., of New Haven, spoke
effectively on the'subject of Temperance,
proving that ad man could drink intoxica-
ting liquors moderately without danger, no
more than a man can roll ofi‘ of alog mod-
erately. The singing by the church choir
Was finely rendered, and added much to the
interest of the occasion. The services con-
cluded by the congregation singing Halle‘

The new Truck has come. On Saturday
received it and paraded it around the

fine specimen of. workmanship, having six
ladders,one of which is fortyfeet long; other
tackle-such as axes, books, ropes chains,
and forks were in abundant supply. After
the parade the boys par‘took of a collation
at which some of the tax-payers present
were excluded. All seemed happy and
ready for another fire. ‘ .
Would it not be wise for the carpet-bag

would be in good taste for him to wait until

ty or paper, to any one person or firm an
Hausa—Reports from joint standing com-
mittees of Judiciary—Unfavorable on the
petition of Ann Canfield of Norwalk, to act
as trustee without bonds; petitioner given
leave to withdraw. Also unfavorable on
bill relating to salaries of judges of the su-
perior courts, reducing the snare from $4000
to $3,000; report accepted. ,
The chair announced the following named

committee on female suffrage. Messrs. Pal-
mer of Stonington, Blair of Canton, Fowler
of Branford, Wakelee of Huntington, Ald-
rich of Thompson, Reed of Sharon,Footc

The House resolution relating to the sub-
ject matter of the petition of Henry L'
Goodwin, came back from the Senate, and
was read, it having been amended so as to
limit the investigation to certain roads.
‘Mr. Harrison of thilord, said that the in-
vestigation should not be confined to the
~roads referred to by Mr. Goodwin, and offer-
ed an amendment striking out the Senate
mmittee should go fully into all matters
lating to which any person should come
forward and make oath that there has been
false return, etc, _ ‘
Mr. Davenport said that the object of Mr.
Harrison’s motion was to kill the ‘whole
thing, There were specific charges against
the roads referred to in the Senate amend-
ment, and these charges should be investiga-
ted. It seemed to him that Mr. Harrison’s
amendment was .weak, and “drew all the
teeth” out of the resolution.
After further debate the House voted to
accept the amendment of Mr. Harrison, and
passed the resolution as amended.
Mr. Daskam of Stamford, introduced a
resolution instructing the judiciary commit-
tee to report upon the expediency of abol-
sbing capital punishment. He said the
present law is a disgrace, a relic of barbar-
otls ages, a cruel and a vindictive law. He
knew just how long man’s neck ought to be,
and didn’t want to have it stretched any
longer. The resolution was referred to the
committee on judiciary.

Edward L. Plumb, represer ting the Interna-
tional Railroad Company of Texas, by
whlch that government grants a subsidy of
between $19,000 and $20,000 per mile to the
International company. This, it is believed,
wrll furnish a basis which will enable the
railroad company to build this road, and it

Our unfortunate legislators, the helpless
victims of Mr. Goodwin’s efforts to " distin-
guish himself,” are getting little pity from
any quarter. Indeed, the press fiend seems
to look upon that injunction as a good joke,
and treats it accordingly. The worst ot’itis,
some of the other railroad companies are in-
clined to consider themselves “ enjoined,”
and let members pay their fares as they used
to do before “the dear people” thrust honors
upon them—Hartford l'ost.

follows on the subject :
"‘ We have‘fnr many years studied tb'E art
of advertising, and still it remains to us a
marvel that there is not one hundred times
more of it. We never yet know a man to
advertise his name liberally and steadily
that it did not pay; yet there are thousands
of manufacturers and tens of thousands of
men having articles to sell which they dc-
clare ought to be “in every household in
the land,” who advertise as gingerly and
closely as though they had at heart no faith
in it at all. How can they expect to get
their goods everywhere unless some knowl-
edge of the article gets into the family first
through the family paper. If we waited
till people learned from their neighbors, we
would wait for years before the most won-
derful and useful invention became known.”
