Some miscreaut has stolen “the flag of our
.Union” from off the flagstaff of Alderman N.
C. Ely of South Norwalk.
Some erased sneak thief stole our front
door barometer and thermometer last week
and so we can feel for the Alderman. at his
provoking loss. We presume the fruits of
these thefts in both instances might be found

Our Turkish Letter.
The GAZETTE’s Correspondent in Turkey,
the Rev. H. S.Barnum, sends another exceed-
in gly interesting letter from the present then-
tre of Turko-Russian hostilities. Beipg from
so direct and reliable source, these letters are
read with the greatest possible interest. In a
- private note our correspondent refers to a not
improbable necessity of his having to leave
Turkey in event of the success of' the Rus-
sian arms.

In the death of Mrs. LewisJ . Curtis, whose ‘
funeral was attended Monday afternoon, our

of the late Dr. Willard of Wilton, and al-
though her illness since her Norwalk resi-
dence had greatly restricted her acquaintances
here, yet her loss will be painfully felt by a
very large circle of lovingafricnds. Her re-

Appeal to Irish Voters:
We publish on to-days, outside the full
text of a more than ordinarily able and
well considered letter written by the Norwalk
Correspondent of the “Connecticut Catholic”.
We reserved its publicaiton until a our
town election, so that no charge of an attempt
to improperly influence the vote cast yester-
day, could be made. We deem the thought-
ful suggestions of this letter, worthy of a
more calm and serious consideration than
might be given it on the eve of an important
election. It goes to prove that one at least of
our adopted citizens, has got his eyes so far
party Winch for years has assumed to own the
foreign vote of the count '5', and make alopt-
ed citizens “hewers of wood and drawers of
water” for solely those of native birth.
Pase Ball.
One of tie best games of the season will
be probably that which is to come off at New ,
- Haven, on Wednesday the 8th inst , between
the famous Boston and Hartford clubs. It
will be a match well worth going to see, and
as the grounds upon which they are 'to play
are but three blocks from the depot, It will
be an easy matter for all lovers of the game
from this vicinity to attend.
The Wall and Main Street Mufiins, played
a second game at the Fair Grounds last week.
in which Wall St, was largely victorious. At
the first game the Main-streetcrs had such a
preponderance of wat and muscle that the ,
poor Wall-streeters with their pale cheeks,
and frail limbs,had nothing but their brains to
rely on. But seeing how it was done by the
Main St. men, they threw their sharp finan-
cial brains to the dogs and went in on their
muscle this time, and won an astonishing vic-
tory. It was indeed astonishing for no one
seemed so utterly astonished at the result, as
the winners themselves. But the “ tug of
war,” is to come this week Wednesday when
the third and decisive game is to be played.
Already the contestants are practicing on the
sly in back yards and unfrequented alleys and
swinging Indian Clubs and Dumb Bells' in
their rooms and bathing and rubbing and lub-
ricating their muscles and limbs with all the
stimulating lotions known to the Material
Medan. “ When Greek meets Greek,” will
be nothing to Wednesday’s contest.

Our Ridgefield friends and neighbors had»
sfactory to all. ,, _
The show of Cattle as well as attendance
on Wednesday, was not, we understand, up
to the usual standard, there being a notice-
able falling off in both respects, as there was
in the County Fair. What: is the cause? Are
the people losing interest in the truly agricul-
tural part of our fairs? The farmers, too,
why did they not exhibit the best of their
cattle? they can if they choose, make a big
show, native and grade, of working oxen and
milch cows, etc, why don’t they do it?
The Fruit (especially pears), and vegetables
were shown in fairlquantities, and was of a
good quality.
The show of Farming implements was
somewhat-larger than at the County Fair, al-
though small. The bread, Cake, &c., De-
partment was, as is always the case here,
very tempting.
Floriculture was well taken care of 'by our
Florist, Peter Guiguc, otherwise the show
was small.
The ladies handiwo§ showed up splendid-
ly—Quilts as usual predominating—but Af-
ghans and Card Receivers were almost as nu-
merous.
In Fine Arts, Whitney led, be having a
splendid collection exhibited; there was alSo
a very fine show of elegant pictures, hand-
somely framed, shown by the different resi-
dents. _
In addition to Whitney and Guigu e, Nor-
walk was well represented by Lina Weed,
who had'his elegant case of ware in a promi-
nent position, and also his Sewing machines
at work; by Harlem with three cases of very
attractive goods from his Merchant Tailoring
establishment: by A. H. Hoyt & Co., with
cases of Boots, Slices, Gaiters, &c.'; by P. H.
Dwyer with fine samples of his superior Har-
ness and Saddlery goods; by W. C. Street &
Co. with cases of Hardware, Cutlery, Guns,
Pistols, 65c. ; and by Mrs. Fawcett with sev-
eral cases of “loves of bounets," flowers, &c.,
from her famous Millinery.
Stephen Hoyt &. Sons, New Canaan Nur-
serymen, also had samples of their tree stock
on exhibition, same as at the County Fair.
On Thursday there was a large crowd in
attendance, which were well entertained by
the Ridgefield Mutual Cornet Band with good
music. The trotting was the feature of the
day but was nothing extra, there being but
few entries. Dann’s Maximillian took first
premium in one of the races but was beaten
in another, although he forced the winning
horse to make unusually good time for that
class.
We have not time or space this week for
the Premium List, but will print it on. our

In addition to the $3,357.26 reported last

State appropriation, there was about $327.85
received from Grand Stand tickets, $538.50
for booths, stand’s &c., and probably $562
for entries in trotting classes, making the
handsome total of $4,775.71 as the receipts
for the Fair of 1877.
SILVER MEDALs.—Messrs. Linus “’eed and

at the late County Fair, but by oversight the

Letters from the People.
Nonwanx, Sept. 29th, 1877.
-..u vuv xucrvvuarmmnvncu’ul'a’smn
made for a new Cemetery, which brought to
my mind the miserable condition of our
Union Cemetery. Of what benefit can it be
to Norwalk to establish new ones, when those
that we now have are neglected.
I am a lot owner in Union Cemetery and
have one precious little boy buried there,con-
sequently feel a deep interest in, and visit it
as often as possible. From such information
as I have been able to gain I should judge
from the price realized for each plot, that the
managers musit divide at least 50 per cent. of
all sales. Certainly they can afford to place.
the avenues in a decent condition, also to
either introduce public water upon the grounds
or place the well in such a condition that a
lady or child could get it without assistance.
Why, I am told that not ten dollars in ten
years has been expended by the managers,
upon the avenues or grounds; weeds are
growing so fast it is difficult to distinguish
the avenues in some parts of the cemetery.
Many, no doubt. think that because Mr. Fos-
ter has charge of the grounds, that he is paid
by them to do this work, but such is not the
case; he is only paid by the lot owners to
care for their plots.
My surprise was increased when the names
of these men having this matter in charge
were mentioned. Will not the genelemen
having charge as directors &c., meet the '

EDITons GAZETTE :—
Oh, Messrs. Editors! How could you? To
think, that I should be so slandered, and by
you, is the hardest thing I have had to bear
this many a long‘ day.
Of course I refer to the cruel manner in
which you answered my letter,iu a late issue,
asking for advice on so delicate a matter as
winning the heart of a coy maldcn.
I don’t mind your telling me to take “ sen-
na tea,"—for all old ladies in the country
order that when anything ails me,—but that
you should have the cruelty, oh, Editor! to
call my lines poetry, is the hardest blow of
all. Fortunately for me, I- had succeeded in
my object before that- issue! of your paper
reached “Our Boarding House,” else I fear
mine would have been “Love’s Lgbor-Lost,"
for ever since the boarders have heard that I
was charged with writing poetry,I am” looked
upon with suspicion. My dearest friends
shun me; even my adored one refused to
permit me t6 hold her hand for one blissful
moment at parting, that wretched evening.
But fortunately the dear girl has accepted
my assurance that it was “a mistake of the
printer" ; and that I would never be guilty
,of writng poetry, even though my hair were
a foot long.
But “all's well that end’s well,” and in
my joy at winning my charming Belinda—-
did I tell you her name was Belinda ?—I can
forgive all else; so now, hasten to congratu-
late me, Mr. Editor, for the wedding is to
take place here ina few weeks, and you
shallbe invited, and receive the cake as I
promised, and perhaps if you’re real good
you shall be invited to meet her before the
ceremony takes place. Yours joyfully.
J. D. CLARE.
By a slip of the pen last week we made
the N orwalk Savings Society declare a divi-
dend to depositors. We meant the younger
institution across the hall—the Fairfield
County Savings Bank. Sorry if we raised
uniform coats. They will make a fine up- any false hopes,or caused the officials any an-
noyance.
Titer rfore.
We soon took it down in accordance
with the advice of our excellent pasha.
But Bayazid, as you doubtless learned long
since, is again in Turkish hands. A small
Russian garrison was left to hold it, the rest
of the force was sent to aid in operating
against Erzerum. The Turkish. force: was
at that time composed of some 8,000 or 4,-
000 regulars, and perhaps twice as many
Khoordish irregulars. There was no harmo-
ny between the pasha in command of the
former and the sheikh commanding the lat-
ter. The sheikh finally took the matter into
his own hands and advanced upon Bayazid,
when an obstinate fight ensued, and the
Khoords being the assailants, and destitute of
artillery, lost heavily. The pasba sent abody
of regulars with three or four cannon, and
the remaining Russians, thinking further re-
sistence vain, shut themselves up-In‘ the bar-
racks, and the next morning displayed a
white flag. The doors were thrown open,
when the Khoords rushed in and began an in; '
discriminate slaughter (of the garrison. The
Russians by 'a desperfite. effort managed to
close the doors again, and then cut down the
200 to 300 Khoords that had remained inside.
They then opened with their cannon on the
Khoords outside,whowere cut down in large -
numbers, and forced to retire to the shelter
of the houses. The Russains then barricaded
doors and windows with stone, leaving only
loopholes through which to fire' on all who
approached. In this way they picked of
some nearly every. day. But they had no
water; in thesbarricks and were forced to
make night. sallic's' to a near spring, and al-
most every night some of them were in turn
out ofi by the Khoords. Add to this, that
their horses all died of thirst, and the bodies
both of men and animals remained ‘ unburied
in the barracks, it is not surprising, there-
fore, that when, after a‘ few weeks, the gar-
rison was relieved by a bold dash of Russain
troops from without, it was found that fully
one-half of the 800 originally shut up by the
besiegers, had perished. The night after
“ their repulse the Khoords committed fearful
slaughter in the city, but it cannot be known
'iiit'h certainty how large a number of non-
combatants were killed. A Khoord who re-
turned told an acquaintance of his here that
480 persons were killed, and 840 women,
girls and boys carried to camp as prisoners,
but as all the inhalfitants have left the city,
the number who perished can only be guess-
ed at.
Since then the great majority of the
Khoords have. desertcd,-whilc, by the consol-
idation of two armies the number of reg-
ulars has'becu augmented to perhaps 20,000.
They have advanced into Russian territory,
and there was another engagement-last week
or the week befbre, but the reports of the
result are conflicting.
' Since the temporary failure of the Russian
Asiatic campaign, there has been a gratifying
lull here, and we have had very little to re-
mind us that the country is engaged in a ter-
rible war. The last large body of Khoords
left here July 12th, and it is not probable
many more will come. Last week a body of
some 300 to 500 came, and I think are still
here, but they have done no harm. A party
of them tried to relieve an Armenian of his
shoes, but were immediately seized, and clap-
ped into prison. The gavemmentt ofiicistls
tell us thevhave learned'how' ‘ ._ lJrifIt
to fear. We have been over a month'with-
out a guard of police at our house, because
we do not think one necessary, but the pasha
says, “Any time you ask for them I will
send you all the men you‘wis ."
The present quiet is a great mercy, for it
gives the farmers an opportunity to gather
the abundant harvest. At one time we feared
famine would follow in the track of war, but
thewheat crop is unusually bountiful, and
though the fields of a few villages on the
roads by which Bashi-hazooks went to camp
were much injured, yet the promise is that
bread-stuffs will be cheap. From Alesh-
gerd plain, between Bayazid and Erzerum
the Christian population have all fled across
the Russian border. Thirteen villages are
utterly deserted. it is said, and theyhave left
their grain standing. Still it will not remain
unharvested, for Moslems from near villages
are doubtless already reaping it.
The Russians, we know, are hurrying re-
inforcements into Asia, and we expect to
hear any day that they have resumed the of-
fensive—perhaps they have already done so.
Still we do not expect the tide of war will
approach this city very soon. Batoum, Kai's
and Eryrum are all places of much more
importance to Russia than Van, and
until those places are taken I do not imagine
that we shall be molested. So. far we have
had no reason to regret our. remaining here,
and can confidently commit our future to the
some wonderful Providence that-has hitherto
shielded us.
One of my associates, Mr. Scott, has suf-
fered much this summer from sunstroke.
For a time his recovery seemed very doubt-
ful, but he is now steadily improving. Still
an absolute mental rest for at. least a year
seems imperative, and he therefore contem-
plates returning to America this Fall, if there
is any opeuroad to go by. When the whole
American communty here consists of but
three families, the departure of one of them
is a serious loss. H. s, B.
