The Fair!
Theentrles to the County Fair, up to the
hour of going tO-press, are far in advance of
previous years, at the same date. This is a
pretty sure evidence that we are to have an
unusually good show. The weather. at this
writing. issomewhst indicative of rain, but
as it mainly promises to lay the dust, all will
rejoice at the dampness if only not adminis-
tered in too copious showers. The Horse
and Cattle, and Vegetable and Fruit depart-
ments promise to be very large and attrac-
tivc. .The' balloon ascension talked of by D.
S.~Thomas,,Mr. Barnum's great circus agent.
will have to be omitted because of the inabil-
ityof the Gas Co. to furnish the requisite
material for the balloon's 1nfistion. There
will be “many noted horses present, and a
test game of base ball on the Fair grounds,
has been arranged ,for this afternoon. The
farmer-sand manufacturers, and people of the
county ought to make a most pleasant and ‘
profitable week. I '

The Connecticut National Guard.
The Brigade returmxl from Philadelphia
on Saturday last. Upon their return they
had a grand'rcception in New York—grander
than any ever tendered to the militia of any
State before. Seven New York, Brooklyn
and New Jersey regiments received them and
escorted them up Broadway to Union Square,
where they were reviewed by acting Mayor
Lewis, Gov. Bedell of New Jersey and Gov.
Ingerspll. , The troops were greeted with
constant applause all along the line of march
and won warm commendafions for their;very
fine appearance and splendid companeront
Instr-hing- - ~
In Philadelphia the papers speak warme
in their praise, and commend Camp Israel
Putnam'asamodel cncarhpment. They say
that our boys behaved themselves, paid their
way like gentlemen, and did not beg for pub-
lic receptions, free entertainments, or any-
thing'of the kind. The public parades and
reviews pttrncted large crowds of people.
Altogether the visit to the'Centennial seems
to have been a grand success.

Several Bible Class teachers were quite “at
sea,” last Sunday. The subject of the days

not seem sufficiently familiar to talk much
about.
The Star that never Sets!
Grand old Vermont has set her heel upon
the false pretense of Tildcn’s Reform by
electing an entire State Ticket, an entire
State Senate, with their House so denuded of
' democratic members, as scarcely to leave
any worth account. The Congressional
Delegation is solid Republican and as com-
pared with last year, our majority is increased
about six thousand. A total Republican
majority of over 20,030, will do for the little
Green Mountain State.
Maine held her election yesterday when
the returnslcome in it will be found that the
home of- Blaine, is not behind the Green
Mountain State.
Boys in Blue.
. A meeting was held at the Republican
Club Rooms, last Tuesday evening, for the
purpose of organizing a company of Boys in
Blue. Alfred A. Chinery, Captain of the
famous Fifth Regiment, during the war, was
unanimously selected as Captain, and ac-
cepted the position. The selection of the
officers was left until this evening, when the
organization will be completed. A company
of colored Boys in Blue was formed last
week, numbering about thirty members.
Temperance Reform Meeting.
The Reform Club held the closing out-
door meeting of the season, on the Amphi-
theatre Grounds, at 4 p. m., on Sunday last.
The attendance was large, about six-hundred
persons having gathered together in the bean-
tiful grove to listen to the services. Mr.
James L. Harlem presided, and Mr. Alex.
S. Gibson acted as organist. Mr. H. H. Bar-
bour made the opening speech, and was fol-
lowed by Mr. James D. Gallagher, of New
Haven, who talked in his‘ mOst energetic
manner for more than an hour. He was fol-
lowed by Rev. B. W. Jones in a forcible and
impressive speech. Mr. W. R. Nash closed
.with a few remarks. The congregation join-
;ed in the singing. These meetings have been
well attended during the summer, and we
trust have been productive of much good.
Attention! Boys in Blue!
, A meeting of Republicans 'will be held at
fthe Republican Club Room, this (Tuesday)
evening, after the regular club meeting, for
{the purpose of enrolling members into the
Boys in Blue, and to complete the organiza.
:tion of the company by the election of such
officers as shall be deemed necessary. Com-
plete outfits are now.on hand ready for de-
livery. A large attendance is desired.
:Come one, come all. For order.
"Arrest of Boss Tweed.
, The fugitive Wm. M. Tweed-.is-reported as
hrrcsted by ‘ Spanish authorities at Vigo,
Spain, Sept. 6, on the bark Carmen. Tweed,
and his Secretary, were sent to Corunna,
from thence will be transported to Havana.
The extradition of the criminal, it is said,
has been requested by our government, and
Spain, it is thought, will cherfully accede to
the request.
'A Presidential vote was taken on the 11
o'clock Boston~Express yesterday, between
New York and Norwalk, the result being 78
for Hayes and 26 for Tilden. Straws show
which way the wind blows.
, Yesterday a vote was taken on the fast
express up, which arrives here at ,noon.
The result was as follows: Hayes 78; Tilden
85; Cooper 0.
Whitney has among his picture collection’s
prepared for exhibit at the Fair, one which
he designates “From one to sweet sixteen."
It is a series of sixteen photographs taken
annually, of the accomplished daughter of
Mayor Daskam. It is an exceedingly inter
esting. study, showing the facial changes,
growth and development of the subject.
from its first to the 16th year. We doubt if
a more beautiful and really poetic family his-
tory could be showu by any one else in town.

g The Central National Bank opened its
doors for business yesterday, under quite
flattering auspices, considering the times.
Their Banking Rooms, in East end of GA-
zsr'rr: BUILDING, have been very neatly and
conveniently fitted up, and more room is af-
forded both its officers and customers, for
the transaction of business, than by anyother
Bank in town. Their burglar-proof time lock
safe is a marvel of strength and security.
Their Cashier, Wm. A. Curtis, is an unusual
favorite, who is the recipient of the confidence
and esteem of our community in unstinted
measure. Even the “Bank Boy," master
Charles Selleck, wears that honest, pleasant
face, one likes most to see in a lad. Four-
teen thousand snd eight hundred odd dollars
were sent up to be put on deposit, by New
York parties, in addition to a large list of
local depositors, covering quite a large sum
in the aggregate. As there's room for all,
and this new institution will help us to the
tune of a town and borough tax upon from
fifty to a hdbdred thousand dollars every
year, all must rejoice at its advent and pros-
porous inauguration. Mr. Hurlbutt, its Pres-
ident, is a man of clean and clear-headed bus-
iness qualities, whose cautious judgment of
financial affairs will beget confidence and en-
sure safety. The Central Bunk bills will not
be ready for some weeks to come. They pro-
pose to limit their issues to the single denom-
ination of fives. This avoids confusion, ex-
pense and also is a safeguard against counter-
feiting. Success to the Central National.
' .
. The Hoyt Brothers, Druggist, South No -
walk, appeared on the Ball grounds, last
Wednesday, with an elegant Rosewood Bat,
enclosed in a Black-walnut case, which they
ofiered as a prize to the winning club on that
occasion. It had a silver plate for inscrip-
tion, and was a beautiful affair. It was won
by the Independents, and is treasured among
their trophies.
o
The Boys in Blue made their first appear-
ance, at the meeting, last Friday evening.
Their uniforms were donned as soon as re-
ceivcd, and the company started ofi without
being able to make any preparations what-
ever, but nevertheless their torches were
bright and their hearts light. The parade
was a good one, but the next will be better.
Fall in {a drill, boys.

The old Mott house was the theatre of
another of those all too frequent outrages
upon the public peace, that continually dis-
grace this borough and caused either directly
or indirectly by rum. In this case, one
James Kellya man when sober, who is in-
dustrious and peacable, but when inflamed
by bad rum, becomes a perfect demon. had
become crazed by rum early in the day and
driven all his family out of doors with an ax,
with the exception of his helpless babe.
With this child screaming at the top of its
lungs throughout the day to the terror of the
neighborhood, at dark the mother com-
plained to the authorities and an attempt wasI
made to secure him. He defied capture by
frantically brandishing his ax, and wildly
roaring and screaming. But he was resolute-
ly pursued and with the aid of poles and a
copious drenching of water, he was captured
and conveyed to the Insane department of the
Alms House. He roared like a wild beast
and the hunt was more like that of a tiger
than a human being. His brain was hurt in
a melee in a borough rum shop, it is
said, a long time since, and now
whenever under the influence of liquor
he becomes a raving maniac. The town
authorities have had him confined
several times before, but release him again
assoonas he gets rational, to go over the
same terrible experience. We are glad to be
assured that our sclectmen now promise that
he sbal no longer impel-i1 the lives of his fam-
ily or the public. He ought to be sent to the
Middletown insane Asylum at once. Such a
scene of terror and-uproar as was witnessed
on Saturday night was a disgrace to our town
and to our common immunity. In fact the
'old Mott house is and has long been a public
nuisance that its owner or the public author-
ities ought to abate by removal. It has long
been the harbor of riotous and noisy tenants.
The Campaign Opened!
Our South Norwalk friends opened the
HAYES & WHEELER Campaign on Friday
night by a torch light procession, flag raising
and speaking at their beautiful Music Hall.
Their large company of Boys in Blue march-
ed to the Bridge at an early hour, headed by
the City Band, where the Bridge company
of torch-bearers joined them and marched
back to their club room at the city; when
they floated the old stars and stripes to the
breeze, with the names of our candidates
attached. This over, the boys quenched
and deposited their streaming torches and
entered Music Hall, where an immense
crowd of ladies and gentlemen packed every
space and greeted the boys with enthusiasm
as they marched to the front. The meeting
was ably addressed by Hon. Henry C. Robin-
son, our candidate for Governor, and by
Cyrus Northrop. Mr. R. made a calm,
clear, cogent and dignified address. He
stated facts and propositions without rhetor-
ical flourish, but with a precision ' and
ability that commanded the attention of all,
and could not have failed to produce a clear
conviction of the honesty and candor of the
man, even among his democratic auditors, of
whom there were many. Northrop is always
effective, earnest, ardent. and eloquent. His
short address was crowded with good points
and home thrusts. At his close, when, with
pathetic emphasis and reverent earnestness
he said : “God forbid that the American
people should now prefer one who did noth-
ing to aid the Nation in its peril, to one who
put his life in jeopardy in its defence,” the
audience broke out in most hearty approv-
ing plaudits. The meeting as a whole and
in all its details, was a grand success and our
neighbors are to becongratulated upon their
auspicious opening of the campaign of 1876.
Now push forward the column.

Death of Prof. Samuel St. John.
Prof. Samuel St. John, one of New Ca
naan's most justl celebrated sons, died in that
village at 6;» o’clock On Saturday morning
last. Prof. St. John graduated at Yale Col-
legs in the (mid 1834. Among his class-
mates were suc noted men as Revs. D. S.
Brainerd, W. I. Buddington, D. D., N. S.
Richardson, D. D., and several other distin-
guished clergymeu. Hons. Wm. T. Minor,
John W. Houston, W. H. N. Smith, J. W.
Lee, John W. Tweedy, W. H. Washington
were of the same class. Professors Alfred
Emerson, E. F. Rockwell, Nathan P. Sey-
mour and others eminent in letters, were also
his classmates. Prof. St. John boreZthe titles
of A. M., M. D., L. L. D. He was a tutor
and afterward Professor of chemistry, min-
erology and metallurgy, in the Western Re-
sever College, and subsequently, we believe,
professor in a college in Kentucky. At the
time of his death he was Professor of Chem-
istry in the New York College of Medicine
and Surgery. Mr. St. John was frequently
importuned by his friends in this part of the
state, to allow his name to be used for pub-
lic positions, but with the exception of once
representing his native town in the state Leg-
islature, be uniformly declined office. Had
his tastes led him to accept public trust, he
would have been better known to the state
and nation, but not more sincerely loved and
lamented by the few of his own neighbor-
hood, who looked upon him as a perfect type
of the model Christian gentleman. Hia fel-
lOw citizens of New Canaan must deeply de-
plore their loss, for he was an adviser and
counselor in their local affairs, in whose
judgment all reposcd confidence, and a man
whom they all delighted to honor. His fu-
neral was attended yesterday from St. Mark’s
church of which he was :a devoted member
and one of its wardens. Peace to his ashes.

It's lucky for Mr. Hon. Wm. H. Barnum,
that he isn't to Be voted. for again for Con-
gress. There is trouble on Union Avenue,
growing out of his distribution of Agricul-
tural Department seeds. A good :lame there,
whose love of flowers outruns all other de-
votion, awaited with intensest impatience the
time when our “ Member" should distribute
the congressional flower seeds. Of course,
all those who have their eye teeth out in flor-
iculture, know that a dollar sent to Thorbun's
15 John street, N. Y., will bring the sender
more and choicer varieties of seeds than ever
were palmed off upon a deluded public by
the Granger institution at ,Washington, at so
enormous a cost to the nation’s taxpayers.
But the unpronounciable names and the “im-
period from France," sure to be printed on
the delicate and dainty little packets enclosing
the seeds. are the mysteries that capture the
poscy-raising dames. Our heroine received
her invoice in due season. When- the seeds
arrived there was more commotion about the
place than at 'the, annual house cleaning.
Garden mould, manure and manual labor
wore in desperate demand. The seeds were
all disposed in their little beds, when the ban-
gry eye of the matron caught a package on
which, in italic letters was printed “ Disk-
hypophylliantha” with “Lameoktreticulafc
leaf 1” Now here was something to excite the
envy of the whole neighborhood! All the
way from France, too, ol'a Washington!
Such seeds as these must be potted! .No
chance of their being pulled from a bed as a
weed must be permitted. Fearing the ordi-
nary flower pot might not be ample enough,
neighbor Leonard was called in to aid. One
of his largest home made sewer,pipes was
procured, set on end and filled with carefully
pulverized and sifted soil. The marvelous
seeds planted, little skewers were stuck
about the tops to note just where the large,
dark-blue seeds were put, that no possible
mistake might occur, you know. Faithful-
ly was the repository of so much hope and
expectation watched and watered, almost
with tears, At last a robust stalk came push-
ing up above the surface. It was a mysteri-
o'us looking thing. Then others came look-
ing like a cross between a mullen and an arti-
choke. But still tenderly were they cared
for, until last week a large, broad top devel-
oped . Yet it still was doubtful whether the
bloom would be a century plant or a barrel-
head. Later in the week, and in the dead
hours of the night, three of. the great blooms
burst out, and long before the sun or the mat-
ron were up, were casting their golden col-
ors towards the brightening orient. The
good lady arose—made her first visit, as she
had a hundred times before, to the Leonard
tile pipe, to behold the wondrous plants uu-
fold. But on this glorious morn, could she
believe her senses! “ As sure as you’re
b0rn,"—-she came flying into the house, re-
peating—“ those awful named Washington
seeds have blown out sun flowers !" Sure
enough, there they are,sun flowers, pure and
simple. The leaves are stripped from the
stalks as one way to show the owner's indig-
nation, and the huge, round bulbs at the top
of the stalks are left to ripen for the dickey-
birds. But woe to Mr. Barnum if he ever
again is a candidate for the people’s votes.

A tramp attempted a forcible entrance into
the house of Mr. Harlem, on High street, one
day last week, while Mr. H. was absent in N.
Y. His ladies were very much terrified and
one of the neighbors ran to the Bridge for
an otllccr to arrest the miscreant, but none
could be fouixd, and the tramp was permitted
to, depart to abuse and terrify some other de-
fenceless family.

Our community were very generally sur-
prised and pained to learn, as they did on
Thursday evening last, that the private Bank-
ing House of Melville E. Mead, at South
Norwalk,had beenforccd to a temporary
suspension. Mr. Mead came up from New
York to Darlen, only a few years since, the '
possessor of one hundred and twenty thou-
sand dollars in clear money. Being of an
enterprising nature, he soon embarked large-
ly in real-estate operations at Darien, South
Norwalk and at Gregory's Point. These in-
vestments have embarrassed him, although
the public are reaping the general benefits of
his enterprise. He is an upright, square and
strictly honest man, and it is believed that he
will soon emerge from his present difficulties,
with credit untarnished, as his assets are more
than sufficient to pay all his liabilities, as soon
as the same can be realized upon. He issues
the following circular letter to his credi-
tors :—
South Norwalk, Sept, 7th 1876.
DEAR Sm: Being called upon for more
ready cash than my assets would realize on
demand, I have felt it my dut to, place all
my assets in the hands of ‘r.- Tallmadge
Baker, Assignee, with perfect confidence
that with the co—operation of my creditors
the amount of my indebtedness will be paid
in full within a short time.
MELVILLE E. MEAD.
A sad mistake of a youthful democratic
candidate for oratorical honors, is narrated us
in a letter from Delaware County, last work.
He was holding forth glibly enough at a dem-
ocratic meeting, and all went well until his
peroration, when he astonished his democrat-
ic hearers and brought out thunders of ap-
plause from the Republicans present, by ad-
vising them all to vote for “Hans and
WHEELER, or rather he meant Wheeler and
Hayes, or—or, I-I-I mean Tilden and Hend-
ricks.”
The Worrell Sisters.
The Worrell’s, Sophie and Irene,—,-recol—
lected by all amusement lovers as the only
successful managers of A. T. Stewart’s un-
lucky theatrical property, known in its fortu-
nate days as the Worrell Sisters’ New York
Theatre—have returned from a protracted.
and eminently successful tour on the Pacific
slope, and will revisit the scenes of their for-
mer triumphs, with a select company, includ-
ing Sam Villa, the popular comedian, Geo.
Richards, a California actor of repute, and
Mr. Clarke, the celtic comedian. The ex-
travaganza of “The Merrymakers," spoken
of in the highest terms by the California
press, will be produced, introducing the
charming sisters in the best of their musical
and terpsichorean efforts, which have estab-
lished them as “ The Queens of the Stage."
The evening's entertainment will commence
with the laughable comedy “ Crossing the
Line," with the Worrell's and Sam Villa in
the cast. For particulars in regard to sale of
seats, prices, etc., see advertisement in anoth-
er column. The Worrell s will appeal-at Mu-

A BULL—Ii: seems that the Col. Russell
with whom Treasurer Selleck had the long
interview at the Hartford Races, under the
supposition that he was the owner of Smug~
gler, turns out not to have been the owner of
the wonderful trotter, but proprietor of a
somewhat noted bull. Selleck was too badly
rigged to reveal the blunder to his traveling
companion Col. Cram, but the latter getting
wind of it someway, our informant tells us
that Selleck paid Cram a dollar not to mention
the mistake after they got to Norwalk.

A Norwalk lady of strong democratic
afiliations confesses her dissatisfaction, with
Tilden, because nature has placed no beard
on his face! She says, “the idea of a man
kissing a lady and no beard to scratch in the
osculative sign." That settles it, Tilden’s
want of beard just finishes him as aPresideng-
tial candidate among the ladies.

We are glad to learn that our friends Sel-
leck and Cram aren’t going to have it all their
own way at the race course this week. It is
reported that our. neighbor John Honnecker,
has a mustang colt with aterrible gait,which
he has been training en the sly on the. back
roads, and Cram and Selleck are .not going
to walk over the course, and win the prize'
money without a contest. Honnecker prom-
ises to make his rivals steeds smoke worse

Base Ball. .
The Silver Bali muddle is still unsettled.
The trouble all grows out of a protest against
the Independent club playing with their new
catcher, Mr. Bannon. As we understand it,
the contesting clubs agreed to his playing on
the start, but a protest was formally entered
by the Union club, before the first. game.
We are sorry to see such a dispute, and trust
the matter will soon be harmoniously settled.
1 On Wednesday afternoon, several hundred
people gathered on the Fair Grounds to wit-
ness what was supposed to be the third game
of the Silver Ball series between the Union
and Independent clubs. The game was an
interesting one, developing some fine points.
The Unions played somewhat better than on
the Saturday previous,but still not up totheir
usual mark. Corcoran hurt his hand, about
the middle of the game, and retired to the
left ficld,where he won applause by his. splen-
did ficlding and did'much to keep down the
Independent scOre. Buttery caught well and
played sharp as usual—he is a capital player
place him in any position. The Independw
ents worked together, all playing well; Gil-
bert excelled himself in pitching; Bannon
.won applause ascatcher; “ oc" distinguished
himself as s. s. ; Roberts, Cousins and Bou
ten never played bases better; Banks, Kem-
pcr and Grumman were swift and sure in
fielding, and all were good at the bat. The
game proved to be for gate fmoney, and did
not count on the Silver Bali series.
The score stood 21 to 3 in favor of the
Independents.
We understand that the game announced
for this afternoon, under the auspices of the
Agricultural Society, will be played between
the Independents and Stamford clubs,-—the
first-of a series of three games. It will
probably be worth seeing.
It gives us pleasure to see so 'many of our
democratic friends joining in the popular
temperance reform movement just at present.
With their help the cause will receive a new
impetus. .

CITY NEWS.
BY OUR LOCAL REFORMS.
Monday that glorious day, was wound up
by a meeting of our city council. Now that
the appointments to office are made, only a
few who are interested in street walks were
present in the lobby; After the routine of
business was finished there was a disappoint-
ment in not hearing from the efficient com-
mittee on streets and walks in regard to peti-
tions presented one or two months since.
New orders and regulations now prevail, and
an effort may be made to abolish all rules,
and go it blind.
A meeting of the democracy was held in
Psalmy's club room on Wednesday evening.
Sloop loads of scallops in the shell, from
Long Island, are now a daily source of ma-
rine commerce with us. It has opened a
new branch of local industry, and given em-
ployment to boys and'men “a shucken' ’em.”
At the Grand Hayes and Wheeler meeting,
last week, everybody conceded that we had
the finest hall in the state. It is complete in
all its appointments with one single excep-
tion, it sadly needs ventilating from the ceil-
ing.
We'see here in the city, that under the
demand of reform, there is found an ardent
desire for a little of the loaf, and a large bite
of the fish. >
Mr. Henry Tumor, who recently removed
from Norwich to Norwalk to reside, died on
Thursday last. Mr. Turner was the father
of H. R. Turner of the Fairfield Insurance
Company, and a gentleman very highly rc-
spected by all who knew him.
A blue-fish smack lay at our bridge for sev-
eral hours, last week, selling the cargo out at
six cents per pound. They welt caught off
Martha’s Vineyard and Edgartown, and
weighed from four to nine pounds. This '
proves that the Neptunes either go there too
early or do not come home late enough, for
all that is ever known about the blue fish they
pretend to catch, is in the fish stories they
tell us when they get home, while local re-
portsaflirm that the biggest fish they ever
catch wear shawls and are caught on the plank
road south of the Sea View House, on the
bluff 0).
. Being unable to secure the “music stand”
the committee appointed to arrange for a pub-
lic meeting under the auspices of the Hayes
and Wheeler Union Republican Club, secured
“Music Hall," where a meeting was held on
Friday evening, attended by about two thou-
towns. Edwin Adams, Esq, presided and the
Hon. Mr. Robinson of Hartford, and Profes.
sor Cyrus Northrop addressed the meeting,
uttering such words, and presenting such
facts and figures as make a ' deep impression
upon all even of the more honorable of the
democracy, who were present. The boys in
Blue from the city and borough paraded and
the old star spangled banner so dear to every
American heart, was thrown to the breeze,
bearing the names of Hayes & Wheeler.
The city soldiers, “Burnside Guards," re-
turned home from the Centennial, on Satur-
day evening, well pleased with the trip and
all that they saw, and proud that the Connec-
ticut soldiers had received such high commen_
dations. ‘- ,

the Centennial on a late train Saturday night.
Hon. Jas. Gallagher, spoke a few words of
comfort to the Tilden & Hendrick democracy,
on Saturday evening. Would that they
would profit by his advice given on the sub-
ject of temperance as readily.
It does not seem to matter what direction

Cows, hogs and horses now roam on the city

'_ “ And still they are not happy—Our Til-
den and Reform Club had a love feast prepar-
ed for the night of the democratic convention.
One attorney, formerly from Westport, nam-
ed Pcrry and {another from Grecns’ Farms
named Relyea, were imported to run the,
love feast till our delegates should get back
from Hartford. But despite the love and the .
feast and the Reform, these orators had but
.a stupid time of it. There was nothing to
inspire them, as the ‘refresbments’ had all
been drank up by the resident members of
the club,and there is nothing so discouraging
to an orator, you know, as to be put in to
kill time, till some one else shall appear and
crate. Then, too,‘what is there ,in a dried
up old batchelor seventy years old, without
one single specimen of the down of puberty
ever visible on his chin, to inspire the ele-
quence and enthusiasm of two such young
- and virilc men ? The thing was too absurd
fpr‘possibility, and a'more disheartening and
lhgubrious democratic gathering has not been
witnessed in these parts. At length Gen.
- Taylor, our next candidate for Congressman
6r Mayor, came in; He had just rushed
from the Hartford car to the club. As he
entered, alleyes beamed in hope of relief,
ears went up like rabbits,aud nostrils were
distended and marked as transporting joy as
beams on the face of a democrat 'when asked -
boistep into Peck’s and take a drink—0f soda
«rat somebody clsc’s expense. But the Gen-
eral commenced by saying that their conven-
tion had been a good deal like the New
York Convention. That Gov. Ingersoll,
their strongest man, had positively refused to
take the chances of being defeated by Robin-
son this. fall—that Ex-Gov. English their
next strongest candidate had siezed .upon
GOV. Seymour’s pet phrase and sent word
to the convention—“your candidate I cannot
i—will not, be." Other strong democrats
bad eluded them, and at last they had nonf-
ihated “Dick Hubbard" who was so lazy he
couldn't run away from his friends .and so
they had forced the nomination on him.
This was all to be deeply regretted, as Gov.
English would not make “his accustomed
contribution to the state committee." Loomis
had been shoved down to the second place
on the ticket,. which had made both him and
, Senator Barnum disgruntled and they
wouldn’t defray “the legitimate expenses"
with that liberality of former years and
more than all, they had left the strongest and
heaviest man on the old ticket (Treasurer
Raymond) oil, altogether. In such a dis.
ponding state of ' things it behooved the
native and especially the foreign born de-
mocracy of South Norwalk to rise above all
depression and in their majority and might
to roll up such a majority as should save the
State. There was a feeble attempt to ap-
plaud Gen. Taylor’s doleful report, but the
effect produced on attorneys and audience
was as complete as the collapse of an old
cotton umbrella.
Next day it was whispered about that
Jim Gallagher, of New Haven, was coming
over to talk temperance and Reform at the
Amphitheatre and so they said now is our
chance to seize upon a man who can talk.
So when Saturday night’s train brought the
New Haven orator,thcy seized upon him, and
bore him in ecstacy to their club room. The
same Gen. Taylor was there to receive him
and welcomed him in one of those thrilling
and electrifying speeches the General is ac-
customed to. This was all that was needed
to start Gallagher, and in less than five min-
utes speaker and club were perspiring- like
victims in a Turkish bath. The meeting
went wild with enthusiasm. All the gloom
and disappointment of the former convocation
to hear the report from the State Convention,
were for the time dissipated and forgotten,
by the silvery tones of New Haven’s Celtic
orator. Butnext morning, With-the usual
democratic head-ache, one and another were
overheard to any “that was a fine speech of
sand of the residents of N orwalk and adjacent _
Gallagher's. He talked like Daniel Webster,
about our reforming, but seems to me, had
d—lisb little to say in favor of Tilden.”
And so our= Tilden Reformers can’t be
happy-
It seems that the reason our Mr._ R—
couldn’t get his $15 was that the town owed
your mayor's bill for groceries, and so he
took that mode of factorizing his account.
The sslectmen have now issued another
for the $15 to Mr. R———, and as the $26.50
is “traded out," the matter is now all settled
as it should be. It isn't right however, to
put. the blame on Mr. Silas Tattle, for he was
only trying to settle it in accordance with the
rules of Tilden and Reform.
Our Private Schools.
It is or should be an occasion of pride to
every citizen of Norwalk, as well as of high-
er public interest, that, in addition to our
very creditable public schools, so many ex-
cellent private schools have been,or are about
to be established here.
The article, last week, “Our: Sermons,"
made mention of all, of both classes, that
were reopened last week, or have commenc-
ed and will begin this week, Mr. Leighton s.
and Miss Carter’s are new schools; and we
wish them both success. ,
It may not be known to all our readers
that Miss Carter is the daughter of the Hon.
J. M. Carter,lde,cc:lsed, formerly so well and
widely known in Fairfield county, and espec-
ially in this his home. A friend of Miss
Carter’s, who was also a friend of her fa-
ther, has shown us a letter from Rev. T. G.
Wall, proprietor of the Englewood Institute,
N. J., in which he says “Miss Carter has .
been in my employ, for the last three years,
as teacher of the higher English branches. I
regard her as a well-qualified, thorough, and
faithful teacher, not sparing herself in her
devotion to the welfare and advancement of
her pupils; She resigned her position to
commence a school of her own." Miss Cari
ter had previously taught in a private school
a New Rochelle, and in Well’s College, N.
Y.
We learn that her mother would receive a
few pupils as boarders in her family.
Every private school established in Nor-
walk is a tribute to the beauty, salubrity, and
dcsirablencss of the place, and tends to make
it more widely known to parents, friends,and
visitors of the pupils; and may attract some
of them to becomeresidcnts. Every scholar
who comes to us from abroad brings, or causes
to be spent, more money here. Besides,
good schools contribute to elevate the charac-
ter of society. ' So we afiirm that all of us
have an interest in their prosperity. Let us
all do what we can to promote them.
Dr. Fitch’s Hillside school for boys com--
menced its Full term yesterday. ' '
Miss Carter’s school for young ladies and
boys, opened tD-day, with a full complement '
of scholars.
Since the above was written, a new and
what promises to be a very' superior enter-
prise has been developed. Mrs. J. L. Har-
lem being desirous of personally superin-
tending the instruction of her young‘daughter
has decided to open at her splendid residence
Terrace Place, High Street, a school for
misses and young ladies, where a most com-
plete and thorough course of instruction will
be gone through with, including the Kinder-
garten system, and the Languages. She has
engaged a lady of high culture, a graduate of
the best American. and German schools,
who has also taught in Dresden, and is high-
1y recommended by Bishop Potter and Rev.
Dr. Tyng of New York.
Sarah Jane Tilden.
It has remained for Doctor Mary Walker to
finally settle the question, and it may now be
considered as a fixed fact, that the initials of
the democratic candidate stand for Sarah
Jane. Dr. Mary, after her failure inattempt-
ing a democratic ratification among the we-
men of Washington, has taken herself to the
“Old Dominion." In a small town in Fair-
fax county, Va., she gathered a small crowd
of the unterrified female democrats, believers
in female rights, and addressed them in‘be-
half of the democratic nominees. 'In claim;
ing for Tilden, a superior and advanced posi-
tion on “ women's rights" and his friendship
thereto, she thus spake : “ Look at his record;
has he not always favored “women’s rights ?"_
Examine him closely; is he not one of as f"
Some one ought to bridle her tongue or Vir-'
ginia will surely be lost to the democrats. ‘ ‘

The Republicans of Connecticut have re-
peated their good work of last spring by nom-
inating again the old ticket. It was and is as
good a State ticket as was ever placed before
the voters of Connecticut by either party,
not only as a whole but in all its parts. The
candidates are without exception men of the
highest character and ability, and worthy of
the cordial sugortnas well as. the entire re-
spect and co deuce '. of the whole party.
Last spring, on alight vote, the Democrats
defeated this ticket by a plurality of 7500.
But many things have occurred since' April
to increase‘the chainces of Republican success
in ConnectiCut, not least among 'them the
blunders and mismanagements of the Demo-
crats and the consequent disaffection and di-
visions in their ranks. The restored spirit
and enthusiasm of the Republicans, so evident
,in other States, will not pass by Connecticut,
and nothing better could be , hoped for than
the election of the admirable Republican
State ticket. The Republicans have rein-
forced their claims to support by an enex—
ceptioual declaration: of. principles, and by
placing the honored name of President
Woolsey at the head of their electoral ticket.
