Our friends at Ritlgefield had a Week of
pleasant weather with eXception of Friday,
when the hard rainjpttt a damper onfartltcr
proceedings. If the articles on exhibition
- werenotns numerous or meritorious as on
former occasions, the attendance of people
wafi‘fully, as large as ever before. Tlte sea-
'sbn‘hti's been unpropitious and Ridgefield is
in a high altitude, yet, despite these retard-
ing infiuencc’s‘and the earliness of the exhi-
bition, the garden, field and farm products
were most creditable, while the fruits though
small in quantities,-were exceptionally fine
as to specimens. The ladies industrial class
was most creditable and the embroidery cx-
traordinarily superior. A harp of wax
flowers, from South l:Norwslk‘, evinced ‘n
taste and skill we have never seen excelled.
Whitney, of course, hadja show of very su-
perior photographs. The life-size portraits
of'Eben Hill and Willie Sellcck were very
perfect and elicited general expressions of
admiration. His new styles‘of promenade
photos attracted marked attention and elici-
ted enthusiastic praise. One of the best.
pictures was that ofour irrepressible Tailor,
Harlem. Indeed We were never so deeply
impressed with his good looks as when
viewing this- s'uperiorlikeuess of him.‘ Har-
lem’s . own exhibition of fine cloths and
'gent’s furnishing goods was most attractive
and creditable. And now for Norwalk.

None of the party were seriously injured,
escaping with, only a few bruises.

making their preparations foe the Annual
Parade of Oct. 13th. Besides the Howe
Band is announced by us last week, the
Wheeler &‘Wilson Band have also been
engaged so that there will be a plenty, of
“sweet music" floating in the air that: day.
Invitations have also been sent to several
out of form companies to participate,
among which is the Citizens No. 2 Engine
“Company of waterbury, the one? that was
here at our 4tb‘of July celebration in .1873.
They havejust received one of the hand-
somest Hose Carriages yet made, which
they will probably bring down with them.
" 'An entertainment is to be given at Lock-
wood’s Hall,r next week Tuesday evening,
for the benefit of “ the Woman’s Temperance
Union. Mrs. Frances M. Carter, of Boston,
has been engaged to give dramatic readings.
This lady is‘known to some of our citizens,
and has very high recommendations from
the press in cities where she has read, a few
extracts from which are given in our adv.
columns. Theprice of admission has been
pttt at filly cents with privilege of reserved
seats. The ladies are very devoted in their
labors, and deserve liberal encouragement.

Mrs. M. G. Finncy who has been confined
to her bed for- severalyesrs by a distressing
disease, has composed several poems which
she dictated to an amanuensis, and which
some of her friends have had printed in
pamphlet form. The patient sufferer has
derived some pleasure and consolation in
the composition of the poemsfand we do
not doubt but that they will be found of in-'
terest. especially to those who have known
of the unfortunate author.
Lewis B. Woodmfl', Judge of the Second
Judicial Circuit, died last Friday, at his
country residence in Litchfield, at the age of
66 years. Judge . Woodrufi' was graduated
at Yale College in 1830, when he returned
to Litchficld his native place, and began the
study of law. Three years later he was ad-
mitted to the bar after'a rigid examination
conducted by the now venerable Truman
Smith. He went to New York to practice,
and soon acquired an enviable reputation as
a lawyer. In 1849 he was elected Judge _of
the Court of Common Pleas. He presided
over the court until 1855, when he'took itia
seat" as Judge of the Superior Court. In
,1870.President Grant made him‘Judgc of the
Second Judicial Circuit, composed of the
States of New York, .Connecticut, and Ver‘
meat.

OLD Rosanna—Mr. H.’ M. Prowitt in
examining the effects of his sister, recently
deceased, found many old documents which
she had treasured up, and which had been
handed down from generation to generation.
Among others he has shown as several old
Newspapers which are curiosities in this
age. One is “The New England Weekly
J ournal" of Monday, April 4, 1728, a single
sheet 8x13 inches, “printed by S. Kueeland
85 T. Green, at the Printing Home in Queen
Street,” Bostonr-“Containing the most Re-
markable: Occurrences, Foreign and Domes-
tic.” The first article occupies one-quarter
of the entire space, and is as follows:
' W ”are are Measures cancer-ting for ren-
dn'ng this Paper yet more universally
esteemed, and useful, in which ’tt’c
hop'd the Public]: will be gratffi’d, and
by which those Gentlemen who desire to
be improv‘dvin History, Philosophy,
Poetry,tfcc. will be greatly advantaged.
We will take the liberty at this time to
insert the following‘Passage of History,
Tia not the understanding or poring upon
Books that makes a Man wise or servi-
ceable, but the knowing the true Nature . of
Things. Were practice substituted in the
room of Speculation, the good Effects of
Knowledge would become as visible, as
they are excellent. An Instance of the
Truth of which, is illustrated in the follow-
ine Relation. ‘
It is not out of some Men’s Remembrance,
that a Young Gentleman, of no Fortune, a
Student of Oxford, fell in Love with an
Ian-keeper’s Daughter of that Town, whose
Circumstanccswerevcry narrow; he had
Philosophy enough to despise superfluous
Wealth; and Judgment to ful‘Iee the
Necessity ot's. Competency to Live, but
Love was head-stron , and too hard for
Reason, so that after a car or two's ineffec-
tual Delay, they bid Defiance to their Stars,
and had Courage enough to marry. The
- Scholargaith a Wife, ‘andJost 'a Fellow-
ship, the only small Substance he before
dc ended on. , , V‘ ; .1
’ he Inn-keeper of ten upbraided the Bride-
groom, with the barren Effects or his Learn-
inf, and thought it very strange, as be well
in ght,-that while every Body told him his
Son in-L'tw was a great Scholar, his whole
Stock of Knowledge could not help him to
one Penny of his own getting.
Six or Seven Months after this Marriage,
the Father-in-Law dies, miserably poor,
and the Credit, which his" Industry main-
tain’d in his Life-time, dying with him, the
Goods he left behind were seized'on by his
Creditors, and the28tudcn'tf andw‘lti's young
Wife turn'd out of Doors, to eat. the Bread
of Providence, where they could find it. ,
The Wife had 0 Relation in .Town,unabls
to contribute any great Assistance: She
took them however into a Garret of her
House, where the Man could only waste his
Hoursbetwcen Books and Signs, while the
Partner ofhis Sorrows made hard Shift to
pick up a Support by Knitting Stockings, at
s certain poor Price for every Pair.
At last, by a growing Belly, their Cares
at once became more weighty, and their
Patience lesfl‘ortify’d: Their only Subject
of their Conversation now, was their Melan-
choly Dread of what would become of the
poor Infant, who was to be born a Beggar.
.But sitting constantly together from
Morning to Night, the Scholar often fix’d
his Eyes with stedf'ast Observation on the
Motion of his Wife's Fingers, in the dex-
trons Management of her Needles: He
took it into is Imagination, that it was not
impossible to contrive a little Loam, which
mi ht do the Work with much more Expe-
dit on. This Thou bt be communicated to
his Wife, and join' his Head to her Hands,
the Endeavour succeeded to their Wish;
and thus the ingenious Stocking Loom,
which is so common now, was first invent-
ed, by which he did not only make himself
and his Family happy, but has left his
Nation indebted to him for a Benefit,,which
enables them to export Silk Stockings -in
great Quantities, and to a vast Advantage,
to those very Countries, from whence be-
fore, they tts’d to bring them at considerable
Loss in the Balance of their Traffick. ‘
Then follows two columns of foreign
news. Localintelligenccis scarce, and is
comprised in two inches of marine reports
and the following:
“Burials in the town of Boston, since our
last, Five Whites, One Black. Baptiz’dV in
the several Churches, N inc." A half-column
of advertisements completes the table of
contents. The wonderful progress of our
' country wilt be shown in a contrast of this
sheet with the Boston daily papers of 1875.
Another paper. about four; times as large
is “VThe'BVosion‘ ngette} and ‘ Country J our-
nal," of Monday, March 12, 1770. '
“The New York Morning Post” of Nov.
7, 1788, is aboatathegsize of the last mention:

nine members were present. They were
members, who seemed to take a deep inter-
est in the matters under discussion, and re-
mained in breathless silence until _. near the
close. An animateddiscussiou sprang up
on the consideration of a bill of twelve dol-
lars, of which amount threc‘dollars had been
paid by the residents offtlte . 3d Ward. It
Was finally, by a vote of the council, order-
ed paid in full. Other long discussions en-
sued upon subjects of small imprirt, when
the. report ”of a committee on unfinished
business was called for, and which one of
the committee reported progress upon, and
asked for more time, which Was granted.
The report’as far as given, he said, was but
a‘ prelude of what was to come, as they in-
tended to make thorough work of the

From casual observation we conclude
that the disposition manifested by the Coun-

fear is, that it being too tedious work, it may
not continue to the end. The special com-

The New Jersey Midland audits Pros-
pacts.
Since, a few months ago, Receivers
Hobart and McCulloh jointly took ltold of
the New Jersey Midland Road, one fact
ltas been satisfactorily established by .tlte
receipts and expenditures, viz, that the
road is a self sustaining one, making
enough to pay all its running expenses and
leavittgasmall monthly balance besides.
The freight. and passenger business of the
road ts also growing steadily. The milk
train and the ore train each realize hand-
some profits weekly, while the local p’as-
senger travel is constantly increasing. It
will be remembered that a large section
of tltc New Jersey Midland now in opera-
tion,ext'ending froma point nearly oppo-
site Pougbkeepsie, onthe Hudson, to Deck-
ertown, Sussex County, N. 1., is a probable
link in the proposed new trunk line front
Boston, era the Poughkcepsie Bridge to
Harrisburg, the coal fields, and the West.
The more westerly portions of this route
are. being now rapidly pushed to comple-
tion, Aconsiderable portion of the main
line from Harrisburg to Hambur is already
graded, and the whole road, inaudiug the
Berttvillo Branch, will probably be fintslted
by the close of next 'ear.\ The portion
from Harrisburg to. amburg will only
form a link of the new projected trunk line
front Boston to the West, and a second sec-
tion has been surveyed from Hamburg to
Slatington, which will strike tlteBerks and
Leltigh Railroad near Stinesville, attd con-
tinue parallel toit at a distance of front
ltalfa mile to one mile until it reaches
Siatington. The remaining links from the
Lehigh to the Delatvare, and front the
Delaware to Deckertown, will be complet-

ntattc _rccttattotts which have already gained 3‘0“
mlmtrtngappreciattons of the press of tltc country,

accorded you, as has already marked your genius
elsewhere. We hope that you will kindly appoint
an evening for your glitctl impersonations in re-

The National Capital has bestowed a warm wel-
come upon Mrs. Frances Carter, of Boston. Ilcr
name 1.5 placed lttglt on the roll of Fame as an clo-
cuttotllst of rare power and sweetness. Her great
success consists in enthusiasm, and the total ab-
sence of constraint. and at'titlciality. I for versatil-
tty and the changing moods that lead ltcr from the
deeply pathetic and classical verse to the quaint
humorous and jinglittg vltymc, are truly Wonder-’-
f‘ttl.. In a word she is brimf‘ul of charm, and ma"-
ncttzcs the little child no less titan the adult. 5
