Fairfleld County Items.
Dedication at Granitcvillc.
The very neat and beautiful Union chapel
at Graniteville was dedicated to the service
of God on Sabbath afternoon. Avery large
assembly that filled every part of the build-
lag, and clustered about the door, attested
the interest of the Christian public in this
enterprise. The services were appropriately
conducted by Revs. Messrs. Austin, Bissell,
Dunning, Hamilton, Simonson, and Taylor.
Mr. Hatch presided at the organ, and the
singing was spirited and well rendered.
The ground was given by Mr. 'W. R.
Raymond, and the building has cost about
$1,000. Some $300 is yet needed to meet
all the cost, which it is hoped will soon be
given by our generous citizens. The faith
and energy of those who conceived and ex-
ecuted this undertaking deserve this re-
ward.
RIDGEFIELD.
Ridgcfleld, once a year, puts on a semi-
holiday appearance, and puts it off again to
resume its usual, quiet, every-day life. The
occasion is the Fair. This year it has been
unusually good, although previous years has
seen larger crowds, none havo seen so large a
display of exhibited articles, and of so great
merit. W’e saw but two of the booths or
restaurant tents, and but little drunkenness.
‘ Perhaps they stand in relation to cause and
, sequence. There was an idea in the com-
munity that the fair was running down. Its
success will give it new life, and \\ ithincreas-
ed hopes we hope for a new departure in its
management. That great care should be tak-
en in appointing committees. That men
should be appointed that have peculiar fit-
,ness for the position, that prizes may be
awarded upon merit alone ; and that the pre-
miums may be a means of education upon
matter pertaining to the farm. An ofilcial
publication of awards giving reasons for
awarding and a description of the most mark-
ed features, would be of incalculable benefit.
Mr. Aaron Gregory was badly burned Mon.

Edward Trowbridgc, Esq., of the Island of
Barbadocs W. I., who married a daughter of
Harvey K. Smith Esq., was present at the
Fair. He showed us a pine tree shilling of
Massachusette of 1652 and a Danish coin of
1638, which a native plowed up on the Island
of Barbadoes. Mr. Trowbridge has also an
English guinea of 1774 and a sliver half crown
of 1620. Two of Mr.Trowbridge’s daughters
accompanied him to the States and are now
at Miss Stevens' school in the old Fairfield
00. Bank Building.
The Ridgefield Fair Managers ought to
award a first premium to our friend P. C.
Lounsbury who has so improved and cleaned
up the old Dr. Perry place, that we scarce
knew where we were, in looking it over. This
is now one of the most charming summer
residences we know of anywhere in the coun-
ty and is the chief ornament of Ridgefield's ‘
grand old Main street.

NEWTOW'N.
John Mackcy, was found in a dying
condition with a fractured skull in a field in
Newtown, a few days since, the coroner’s
jury rendered a verdict that the guilty par-
ties were unknown, but since then John Al-
lis and his wife Jerusha, have been arrested
and bound over for trial on the charge of
murdering him. The man was probably in-
jured in the drunken spree in which all the
parties were indulging at the time, though he
was so intoxicated as to remember nothing of
it.—-Standard.

The business men of New York city are
more hopeful at present of a business revival,
than for months before. The secret of it is a
settled conviction of the election of Hayes

WES'I‘PORT.
Mr. Chauncey Tayfor, of California, a
native and former resident of Westport,
will, it is expected, soon return here for a
short visit. He will be followed by Mr.
John Taylor, his brother. Both these gen-
tlemen went to the Pacific slope about twen-
ty-scven years ago, and remaining there made '
their fortunes and attained high social posi-
tions. It is related of them and of Mr.-
Edson Adams, also of California and who is
soon to visit here, that, on a certain occasion
in the city of San Francisco, while they
were in company with Professors, lawyers
and other distinguished persons, the subject
of early educational advantages was spoken
of ; the professors manifesting some pride in
being able to say they had graduated at
Yale, Harvard, or Columbia as the case hap-
pened to be, they supposing they were ad-
dressing men who also had passed through
courses of classical study in colleges. The
Messrs. Taylor and Adams announced that
they were indeed graduates, and of a school
from whence not a few had gone forth to
fame and renown, and when inquired of
as to the name of. the school, they replied
with unaminity, “Shercrow.”
“Shercrow ? Shercrow ? exclaimed the
professors? “we never heard of the institu-
tion, where is it i” “In Connecticut, Fair-
ficld County, town of Westport,” was the
reply, which was accompanied by a smile d
satisfaction equivalent to their saying, for-
tune and position in life do not depend on
the size or cost of the school house or college
one attends, or upon the contents _of books
one may have been able to cram.
'I‘he’mysterious death of two cows belong-
ing to Mr. Michael Rice of Saugatuck, and
the sickness of a third, causes that gentleman

From the fact that the contractors are us-
ing the stone of the old abutments and piers
to make the new ones for the new bridge, it
would seem that we might reasonably ex-
pect to have more rapid progress in the work
of rebuilding the bridge at the village. The
workmen appear to be impressed with the
truth of the old adage, “Haste, makes
waste," but they should remember how true
several other adages are, as, for instance,
“Time and tide wait for no man." But, in
doing this, they should not occupy pretty
much all the available time between tides
waiting, astaxpayers are inclined to think
they have been doing, for if they do so, we
cannot possibly get an elegant bridge to cross
the river on before Thanksgiving. People
want the bridge at once, so that the horse
railroad can have a terminus on the east
side.
Advice gratis. Never allow tramps to
lodge in your barns, especially if they smell
strong of pipes and tobacco, but if, by over-
persuasiveness they prevail on you to let
them so lodge, lock them securely in, and
then if they set things on fire, (and that
won’t pay insurance policies) they will stand
a chance of getting a good scorching in pay-
ment of their indulgence.
“ Cruel, but to be kind," were they, who
said there must have been a super-abundance
of political old hens at the poll to-day,
(Monday) judging from the scratching ex-
hibited on the ballots for Selectmen and
Board of Education. It was an extra unkind
cut when they ’ said, these “old hens” were
thus simply following the instincts of a fowl
nature—scratching among dirt.

way, 500 tons, which arrived here last week
with 130 thousand feet of timber for Mr.
H. Staples, composed of southern yellow

citizens probably never saw a handsomer
cargo. The novelty of unloading the vessel
from the bows attracted attention.

It is believed that of the 3,400 old residents
of Westport, 150 have actually been to the

o
.Basc Ball.
The Independents played their return game
with the Bridgeports on Wednesday after-
noon last, at the Fair Grounds, with a far
different score than that of the first game; in
fact it rather looked one time, at the first part
of the 8th innining, that they would be able
to tie if not beat their skillful antagonists,
but it was not to be ; one run had been made
and another good player, one almost always
sure to make his base, had got around as far
as third base, another at first base, and good
batters to follow, with no one out, when the
runner at third base, not watching the ball
as he ought to, carelessly stepped ofi his
for Hog Hay-
. base and allowed the third baseman to put
him out by a touch of the ball which he was
at the time holding; but for this unfortunate
play the result might have been different.
Eeaeh side made several loose plays, but in
the main, both nines played asharp game and
towards the close the Bridgeports found it
necessary to coach up their players rather
sharply. Gilbert, pitcher of the Independ-
ents, appeared to be full as hard for the
Bridgeports to but as their famous curved
pitcher, Snigg, was for the Independents; in
fact it was generally remarked that our boys
batted him better than their opponents did
Gilbert. The score was Bridgeports 8, Inde-
pendents 5, as follows:

Mr. Frank Buttery of thc;Unions filled the
very unpleasant position of Umpire to the
satisfaction of the players generally and very
creditably to himself, yet it is impossible to
please all in a game of ball, as he probably
found out before he got through with his
duties, but all in all there was no just ground '
of complaint against his umpiring.
Good Templar-s Convention.
The thirty-first‘Quarterly Convention of
the Bridgeport District of Good Templars,
was held with Olivet Lodge, N6. 139, in
Bridgeport Wednesday. District Deputy
Frederick L. Bray, presided: W. V. T.,
Mrs. Nettie Bray of Bridgeport; Secretary,
S. T. Rubey, of Norwalk; Chaplain, Rev.
D. S. Stevens, of Easton'; Marshal, Frank
Brundage, of Bridgeport; Deputy Marshal
Mary F. Peck, of Newtown; Guard, Thomas
Fitch, of Winnipauk; P. W. C. T., John H.
Wade, of Trumbull.
Lodges represented were reported to be in a
very healthful and flourishing condition
The Committee on Resolutions then sub-
mitted their report, and the following were
adopted by the Convention: ~
Resolved, That with renewed thankfulness,
we reverently acknowledge the continued
favor and goodness of Almighty God as
evinced in the history and progress of the
temperance cause in the past, and in all our
future afforts we will at all times recognize
our reliance on the same Omnipotent Arm.
Resolved, That in our attempts to promote
the temperance reformation, we labor first of
all to‘inculcate, as the foundation of all tem-
perance principles and work, the necessrty of
ahealthy self-government and control over
our own appelites, and personal effort and in-
fluence in favor of total abstinence from all
that intoxicatcs.
Resolved, That in view of the terrible evils
of intempcrance in our midst, we again re-
cord our testimony against the drinking cus-
toms so widely prevalent and earnestly
entreat every good citizen to exert the utmost
influence possible by word and example in
behalf of the temperance cause.
Resolved, That we are called upon to double
our diligence, and make renewed and increas-
ed efiort, by the use of all moral means, and
by all suitable legal measures, to save our
fellow men from the sin and misery that are
wrought by the use of intoxicating liquors as
a beverage.
chl’vod, That we renew our solemn pro
test against the traffic in alcoholic drinks,
and thus desire to emphasize afresh the
Divine denunciation; “Woe unto him that
putteth the bottle to his neighbor's lips."
Resolved, That it is a manifest fact in the
history of human progress that “in union
there is strength," and as no great reforma-
tion has ever been wrought out for the benefit
of the human race withOut combined, faithful,
and persistent effort, it is therefore the duty
of all temperance men to band themselves
together in one solid phalanx to resist by
political action and legal restrictions the en-
croachment of the liquor trafiic.
Resolved, That the licensing, sale and use
of intoxicating Beverages is wrong, and no
legislation can make them right, and that no
man can rightfully vote to license or in any
way to approve of the traffic.
Resolved, That we hereb tender our thanks
to the members of Olivet odge,No. 130, for
their cordial reception and bountiful enter-
tainment of this convention.
The resolutions were discussed at consider-i
able length by Bros. J. W. Johnson and Rev.
D. S. Stevens of Easton, Enos Lee, T. H.
Larramie and Rev. Allen Clarke of Bridge-
port, Zadoc Peck of Newtown, S. T. Ruby
of Norwalk, and others. The convention
was also favored with remarks by Rev. Otis
J. Range, of Meridcn, G. W. C. T., , and C.
D. Rice, Esq., of MiddletOWn. Music, sing-
ing, and recitations were oflered for the
“Good of the Order," and earnest remarks
were made especially referring to the work
of the Order. The exercises at the public
evening meeting were also very interesting.

Letters from the People.
To run Enirons or THE NonwALx GAznm.
Having-lived out of the State for the last
dozen years or more, born and bred a farmer,
and still one, I had as trong desire to see the
late Fair of this county and mark the im-
provements in agriculture as it was there ex-
hibited. I may as well say at the outset that
I was a good deal disappointed in the Fair
taken as a whole. Andperhaps in nothing
more than the absence of many of the solid
farmers of the county. It seems as though a
county fair ought to be made of sufficient in-
tercst , to say nothing of the profit, to bring
together all the leading farmers of the county.
And again, the show of cattle, sheep and
swine was not creditable. I know there are
good breeders in the county, and some fine
herds of cattle. There are as .fair Short
Horns, and Jerseys, to say nothing of Ayrs-
shires and Devons, as can be found any-
where. There should have been, and could
have been, from fifty to one hundred head of
animals with a recorded. pedigree on exhibi-
tion. Instead of one pen of sheep there
should have been ten. The show of swine
was but little better than that of sheep. The
Berkshire, Essex, Poland China and Chester
White, are popular breeds, all raised in the
county, and should have been well represent-
ed. There is no better way to advertise one’s
stock or wares than at an Agricultural Show.
The fruit and vegetables, upon the whole,
was a credit to the exhibitors and to the
county. Some as fine samples of fruit—no-
tably pears and grapes—were shown as is
often seen on exhibition. The show of flow-
ers was fine, the ferns especially so; and the
only criticism I have to make on fruits and
flowers, is the display was not extensive
enough—not exhibitors enough competing.
In grainii, while there were good samples
of wheat and rye,‘ thp oats, barley, buckwheat
' and beans were missing, except perhaps some
oats. I have heard of wheat yielding 35 to
40 bushels per acre, the past season, why was
the exhibit in this class someager P The show
of Indian corn was first rate so faras it went.
Of farm implements the exhibition was al.
most barren. But who was to blame, the
farmer or manufacturérJ do not know. New
and improved tools are being made all the
time, and manufacturers should find it to
their advantage to show their goods at agri-
cultural fairs. Other departments of the ex-
hibition I will not‘ now‘ notice particularly.
A word of praise, however, I want to give in
favor of the fine working oxen on the
grounds. They would be a credit to any ag-
ricultural show, and they certainly went far
to help make up deficiencies in other parts.
And now a word to my brother farmers.
A county agricultural fair ought to be a fair
experiment or exhibit of the state agricultur-
al improvement in a given county. Fairfleld
County isa grand old county, and one of the
best for agricultural purposes in New Eng-
land. She ought not .to be behind, and'prob-
ably is not, but she fails for some reason at
her annual fairs. The Society has ample ac-
commodations, easil accessable, and offers
liberal premiums. t seems that a lack of
interest, or want of harmony exists for some
cause. It has been found in other places to
be a good thing to hold agricultural conven-
. tions at different points in'the county during
the winter months, and discuss in a practical
way the questions of greatest importance
to farmers. Let this Fairfield County Agri-
cultural Society the coming winter, plan a
series of such meetings, say once a month at
different places, and discuss such questions
as “How best to promote the Agricultural
Interests of this county ;" “ Is stock raising
profitable ;" “What shall we do with our
boys]? *c., and have some man designated to
lead off by a short essay or otherwise, and
unless I am mistaken an interest would be
created which would tell; not only at the an-
nual fair, but all through. Farmers as nclass
are too isolated; they need a better acquaint-
ance with each other. By mutual co-operation,
wrongs, if any, can be righted. Agricultural
Societies should be controlled mainly by prac-
tical farmers, and a fair and liberal policy
should govern their plans as well as their
premiums. W. J. JENNINGS.

The president, Mr. Curtis, took his posi-
tion upon the platform amid the applause of
the convention and in a brief address, said that
he had been a member of the Re ublican
part1)v
the ast few a slight falling of! in the ol
spirit of enthusiasm that once animated the
Republican party, but when he read the leta
ter of acceptance written by Rutherford 'B.
Hayes he was confident it would reanimate
every member of the old party for the candi-
date had made a platform for himself found-
ed on honesty and integrity and of a charac-
ter that must elect him, and fill the hearts of
his fellowers with the fire of the olden time.
When during the‘war things looked the black-
est he had always been confident that we
should carry the day, and sohe was confident
now that victory would come to the Repub-
lican banner. For fifteen years this st ate
went Republican, not by force of superior
numbers but because of perfect organization,
and the same methods must be resorted to
again and thus place Connecticut where she
belongs among her sister states who have
given round majorities for the Republican
ticket. He was glad to learn that the state
central committee were taking this matter of
organization in hand for much depended up-
on it. The speaker closed by predicting a
rousing victory in this state and over all the
country for Hayes and Wheeler. His rc-
marks were followed by loud applause.
Hon. Elijah M. Smith, of Watertown, rose
and nominated for Congress from this dis-
'trict, Dr. Robert Hubbard of Bridgeport.
The name was received with deafening ap-
plause long continued.
Hon. A. B. Woodward, of Norwalk said-it
had been suggested that he say a word for
Fairfield county but the manner in which
the name of Dr. Hubbard had been received
by the Convention rendered any such course
superfluous. He believed the gentleman was
the unanimous choice of the delegates present
and he could only say that he was well
worthy of the position and would showmore
strength at the polls than any other man, and
that he stood a fair chance of being elected.
[Applause]
The chairman then submitted the motion
whether the nomination should be made by
acclamation, and the hearty response in the
affirmative settled the matter beyond ques-
tion.

This age is a progressive one, and improve-
ments are continually suggesting themselves
in almost every department of human life.
Labor-saving inventions and machinery are
eagerly sought for, to. accomplish in a few
hours’ time, what was usually the toil of days
and even weeks. The farm, the household,
the workshop, the factory, all possess unmis-
takable evidences of this wonderful . age of
progress. It remained, however, for the
eminent house of Lord &. Taylor, well known
as one of the leading dry goods firms of New
York city, to introduce vast improvement in
the, old shopping method and to make “shop.
ping easy" for every lady in the country.
There is now no reasonable excuse for ladies
to fatigue themselves with travel, and to un-
dergo its hundred and one annoyances, when
they can purchase every article needed for
wardrobe or household without leaving
their homes. Messrs. Lord & Taylor will
send, on application, free of charge, samples
of the newest goods for autumn ‘3 and winter
wear, with prices attached to each, together
with complete descriptive catalogues of their
handsome stock of ladies’ and misses’ under-
wear. Selections from these are readily
made ; orders for goods received, filled by
the house, and returned by fast trains to the
purchaser. This surely is a material improve-
ment for the slow method of former days, as»
by this system time,money, labor and annoy-
ances are all saved. The business standing
of this eminent house makes this announceg
ment worthy of attention, as they can be re-
lied upon implicitly to accomplish whatever
they advertise to.do
