The Fair.
The County Fair- starts off next week with
an unusual and literal “flourish of Tru m-
pcts." The Band competative Tournament
is a novel and original feature and so much
in advance 0f mustang and chariot races that,
it ought and undoubtedly will draw an im-
mense croWd on , the opening day. Mr.
Bradley assures us that the Alderny herd of
Mr. Starr, the Litchfield County farmer of
so much note, these butter sells in the New
York markets for one dollar a pound will
exhibit his auctions and, beautiful thorough-
breds and that Mr. Ketchnm will send over
his short-heru-stock and that all in all, this
'Fair will eclipse all its predecessors in the
matter of cattle and horses. One of the
pleasantest and most profitable features of
these'annual gatherings, after all, is the sort
of public exchange it constitutes, giving the
opportunity for mutual bringing together
and meetings of friends and acquaintances
separated during the year, inspired by a
love for the one great, absorbing, interest,
above all other interests—Agriculture.
a
Postal.
A. H. Bissell,‘Esq., the Assistant Attorney
' General of the Post, Office Department, is in
town for a" few days, with his family, for
rest and recuperation. Mr. Bissell has just
returned from a very successful western trip’
in the interest of his new Postal Bill. He
.has visited Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and
Philadelphia, where he has had consultation
with all the leading publishers and business
men, and mercantile organizations, for the
purpose of securing an endorsement of his
bill and other important changes in our pres-
ent complicated postal laws. The awakening
of such an interest, will have a most impor-
tant bearing, it is believed upon the action of
the House, about to assemble in December.
It will be rememberedthat .thc Bissell Bill
passed the- Senate and went to the House,
and received the unanimous approval of the
Postal Committee there, but was finally de-
feated by the cennivancc of the Speaker.
The Department has full faith that the pro-
posed changes especially in rates for printed
matter, will be popular with the. people and
better for the government and no sensible
man has been found who does not believe
the Bissell‘ Bill should become a law. A
Postal Congress will be held in New York
City, early in October, at which delegates
will be present from the different commercial
centres and representing the leading business
interests of the country, which is expected
to take action towards advancing the Post
‘ Office Department's views and wishes before
Congress this winter. The energy and tact
with which Mr. Bissell has awakened a popu-
lar interest in this postal reform, has secured
for him the highest cemmcndations from
Boards of Trade, the larger publishers of the
country and others prominent in business all
over the land, and he most assuredly deserves
it, as the public will fully realize when his
bill becomes a law. _

Plant 'I‘rees.
Cflpt. Stephen anl’. .& glans, Hm Nau-
Canaan Nurserymen, gave notice last spring
that they would give away any number of
shade trees to any and all parties who would
agree to set the same along any public high-
way in this county. Something less than five
' hundred were called for last spring, but we
hope five thousand will be asked for and
set out this fall.
The County-Commissioners were here on
Tuesday last looking at rooms suitable for
the October session of the Court of Common
Pleas, which is to be held in Norwalk. The
lawyers favor, and it is believed the Commis-
sioners favor using the Temple of Honor Hall
in the GAZETTE Building. This no deubt
would accommodate the greatest number of
those having business before the said Court.
.
German Service.
Divine Service in the German language
will be held in Trinity Church, South l‘Ior-
‘ walk, on next Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock.
All Germans are most cordially invited.
Once in a while we have a runaway which
would do credit even to aDanbnry horse. On
Saturday last, for instance, a saddle horse
which Alison Free had been riding, took a
notion into his head to run, while standing
near Cousins‘s factory on Hoyt street. He
jumped clean over slumber box wagon which
happened to be in his way. dashed down a
lane in rear of Demmon &. Newaomb's, and
finally astonished Mr. SlausOn's folks by
bringing up in the family sitting room, to
reach which he had to pass through another
room.
The Rev. Mr. Bentley will preach at the
open-air temperance meeting, next Sabbath,
at 4 p. in. (the weather permitting.) Text,

that be with us are more than they that be

ERRATIC Flam—The living creatures of
the sea have manifested some remarkable
peculiarities this year. Forfinstance', our
harbor, and all the harbors and inlets along
shore, are filled with crabs to ,an extent
never known before. The porgios or men-
haden have filled the harbors of Maine this
year for the first time insome sixty years.
They are nearly as large as shad andare
' the fattest the oil men have ever caught.
The monster sen-Turtle caught last Week
off Point Judith and which weighed over
one thousand pounds, the like was never
seen in Northern waters. Two sharks have
been captured at Five Mile River and Darlen,
ten feet and over in length, while one claim-
ed to have been fifteen feet long and weigh-
ing a thousand pound, we! brought to the
surface recently down cast. Whales and
seals have been plentiful along the shores
of Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine,
this summer, while the veritable sea-serpent
was actually seen down near Captain‘s
Island only a few weeks ago, '

A Lam. Case-The news of the arrest of
Mr. Palmer, at Westport, on Saturday, for
libel caused coasiderable comment both there
and here. On' the onthand, it is claimed
thatthc attack upon respectable persons in
Westport made in the Democrat, have been
wanton and brutal and that any and every
possible legal advantage and punishment
would be justifiable. On the other hand it is
claimed that the conspiracy to hurry Mr.
Palmer to jail before he should be ablo‘to get
bail, and putting the sum at a figure so high
as torender bail to a person of ordinary means
impossible,wss more malevolent and unj ustill-
:able, than the provocation. In nothing will
1hc respectable press be more cautious than
in unjustly assailing private parties, who
have no means of reply and in the adminis-
tration of laws “equal and exact justice to
all” should be the inexorable motto.

Danbnry Firemen’s Parade.
On Thursday the biggest gathering of
Firemen ever got together in Western Con-
necticut will assemble at Danbnry in re-
sponse to invitations from the Danbnry
Department andparticipato in agrand street
Parade. About 28 Companies and 15. Bands
and Drum Corps are expected to be present
and in line. '
Norwalk will furnish quite a large and
important portion 0f the procession as both
of our Departments—the Borough and City——
are to go up en masse.
Our Borough Department will undoubt-
edly be the most complete and make as fine
an appearance as any there that day, as
the entire department will go up, com-
prising four different branches of service;
viz:—’ Fire Police, Steam Fire Eu-
gine, Hose and Hook & Ladder Com.
panics. The Fire Police is a’rew and val-
uable portion which originated here with
as and is now being adopted in other dc-
partments where they have no large police
force; the Steamer will be a novelty for
our Danbnry friends, as probably. but a very
few of them ever saw'onc at work; while
our Hose and Hook & Ladder Companies—
are second to none in these parts.
. The City Department is composed of a
Hook & Ladder and a Hose Company, both
of which are preparing to make an extra
good shew,—thc Hook &. Ladder 00., hav-
ing engaged the well known Howe Band
to accompany them, All of the companies

“Liabilities $125,000; assets none. Lia-
bilities $50,000; assets nomina ." We hope
this style of literature, which has raged this
summer even more than “That Husband Of
Mine,” has become a thing of the past.
With that bugbear out of the way, why not
go to work fairlyand honestly on the square
basis of one hundred cents on the dollar?

Barnum—As the election season draws high
the evil practice of betting seems to break forth
as naturally as horse racing at a county fair.
We are informed that our friends Morison
and Asa Smith have been having their little
bet. It was something about one of the Ber.
eugh hydrants throwing over the horse rail-
way depot, and Asa claims to have won the
money—which was a dollar—but somehow,
as usual with all bets, there is a. dispute Inn to
the length of the pipe, the heighth of the
_stream or quantity of water thrown, and
therefore the Mayor declines to pay the dol-
lar.
The Late Rev. John Howard Ray-
mond, D. D. .
Was not the late President of Vassar Col-
lege of Norwalk descent? He was son of Elia-
kim Raymond of New York. That name
occurs twice in the genealogical records of
Dr. Hall’s History of Norwalk. The first
mentioned married Hannah Street in 1740,
portant committee of twenty. His son Elia-
kim was born in 1747.
Gen. Couch was suddenly awakened' at 4
o'clock one morning last week. Thinking
there was a cause he sprang out of bed and
on going to the kitchen that room was found
to be filled with a dense smoke and a table
top in full blaze, which was soon smothered
by an overcoat. The origin of the fire was
the bursting of a lamp which had been turned
down and supposed to have been put out ; in
this condition it had burnt for seven hours
before exploding. The moral of this narrow
escape from a serious fire is to be sure that
lamps are effectually extinguished, and under
no circumstances leave a kerosene lamp to
burn all night with the wick turned low
down. We might suggest that/before retiring
it would be well to inspect‘the kitchen with-
out a light.

Harness Thieves at Work.
Our citizens will do well to look to the
fastening of their carriage houses and con-
dition of their six-shooters, as those petty
burglars, the Harness thieves, have again
commenced work. On Thursday nightlast,
the carriage house of Walter J. Fitch ,on
the Westpert road, was broken into anda
single harness and whip stolen therefrom.

Trade dollars are at a discount of ten per
ccnt.,out West. It is comforting to think
that they are really worth- about four cents
more than the “legal tender" stuff.
A queer government that refuses its
own coin at face value, and then accepts a
coin of less value at par. The dear people
will get enough of this thing, soon.
#
The last few days have been first-class
specimens of deg-day weather. Unless the
atmospheric conditions improve, it will re-
quire extra care in cleaning out the cellars,
drains and cesspools, to keep people, even in
the country, free from sickness. There can
not be a too free use of the scraper, broom,
whitewash and catholic acid water.

and in 1774 was first named in a very im--
, Ito-Union.
The reunion of the Veterans of the I17th
Ct. Vols, at Bridgeport on Wednesdaylnst,
may be deemed one of its most enjoyableand
successful convocations. About one hundred
officers and men of the gallant old regiment
were present and all seemed to most heartily
enjoy the occasion. The ladies of Bridge-
port set a sumptuous dinner before their pa-
triot guests, and the Wheeler do Wilson Band
discourscd its choicest music, while one and
another recounted the scenes and experiences
of the war. From the platform of St. J ohu‘s
Hall, the secretary and treas'lurcr made reports
which were accepted, and after other routine
business were transacted the following were
elected officers for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, A. W. Peck, Newtewn;_Vicc Presi-
dents. Co. A. Licut. R. L. Ells, Norwalk; Co.
B, Captain Marcus Waterbury, Stamford; Co.

walk; Treasurer, Henry Huss, Mount Ver-
non, N. Y.; Executive Committee, A. W.
Peck, Newtown, P, Wade, Jr., and J. R-
Middlebreok, Bridgeport. It was voted to
hold the next annual rc-union at Newtown.
P. T. Barnum made a speech, as usual to
him, full of wit and fun, that kept his audi-
ence in a roar of laughter. Gen. Noble
spoke with his accustomed earnestness, and
presented the successive speakers with his
apt grace and happy manner. One of the
exquisite treats of the occasion was furnished
by the Band, in playing a composition com-
posed by its leader, Mr. S. C. Rosenberg,
and entitled a “A Day in Camp,” introduc-
ing all the army bugle calls fr0m revellle to
tattoo, and the calls “Thinking of Home"
and other camp songs familiar to every
veteran. This fired the enthusiasm of the
boys, and encore after encore went up in
honor of the Wheeler and Wilson Band. 0
The following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That we the members of the 17th
regiment Connecticut Volunteer association,
return to the ladies of Bridgeport our sincere
thanks for their kind services so generously
given in providing for our enjoyment such a
bountiful repast, and to Mrs. L. H. Norton
and Mrs. D. B. Lockwood, we desire to ex-
press our deep gratitude for their indefatig-
uablc efforts in our behalf, crowned as they
have been with such marked success, and
we trust they and their co-workers may be
spared many years of health and happiness,
and that they may look back upon this labor
as one of love done to those who have learned
so well to appreciate deeds of kindness.
Resolved, That the thanks of this associa-
tion be hereby extended to the Wheeler 85
Wilson band, for the part they took in mak-
ing this eleventh reunion a pleasant and
happy one.
The meeting broke up about half past four
o'clock, all seemingly delighted with their
eleventh annual reunion.

‘ Town Improvement Club.
The beautiful and “truly rural” little town
of New Canaan has a “Town Improvement
Clu " er Society, which it would be well to
extend to all our towns and yillrges. Itls
first and main purpoSe, is to set out continu.
ous rows of shade trees along all the streets
and roadways. Such a society was organized
in Williamstown, Mass, some time since, the
beautiful results of which are now apparent
to every beholder. '
Remarkable Lives.
. Some time since we referred to the re-
markable fact that one of our oldest and our
best mechanical carpenters and builders, Mr.
Giles Seymour, was still, in his seventy-
eighth year, actively at work completing the
third house he has built the present season.
This family is a remarkable one. Two other
brothers, Ira and George are both halo
and hearty workers and both specially intero
ested in Horticulture and a personal filling
of the soil, in their ripe and still vigorous old
ago. Mr. George Seymour, the founder of
the South Norwalk Nursery. is perhaps, in
matters of discovery and propagation in the
fruit line, one of our greatest benefactors.
If that man is a blessing to his race who
causes two blades of grass to grow where
there was but one before- what. limit or
praise is due him, who like Mr. Seymour, 15
constantly propagating and on the alert for
new and choicer varieties of all desirable
fruits than were known before. His first
great effort was in awakening a local interest
in the cultivation of the smaller fruits and
berries for the home and New York markets,
primarily Strawberries, Raspberries, Black-
berries, 850., of the choicest kinds. His
great reputation and success, in the culture of.
the Antwerp Raspberry and the Lawton or
New Rochelle Blackberry, will be remem-.
bored. These he produced of great size and.
in greater abundance than was ever dreamed
of by other cultivators. We well remember
to have seen the white haired Solon Robin-
son, then éditor of the Agricultural Departw
meat of Greeley’s Tribune, sitting down'ou a
milk stool under a denselyloadcd hash of
Lawtons and stripping the monster black
berries down into his twelve quart pull and
filling it in less than fifteen minutes by the
watch. Later, be discarded the Lawton for
the sweeter and even larger Kitatiny Iand
latterly has turned his attention to the larg-
est and best varieties of Strawberries. Noth-
ing but the best of fruits is tolerated in his,
grounds and the outside world has little idea
of the careful and patient watching he gives
all new seedlings year after year, before he
commends it to the public as a success for
this vicinage. We grew on our own home-
stead lhe present season, a new and acci-
dental seedling currant, which matured
berries double the size of the large cherry
currant now so well known and admired.
As this new current is nameless, we have
taken the liberty to christen it the "GEORGE
SEYMOUR.” The fruit of this current, is
_ fully as large as the old-time, red-cherry and
is a rare and wonderful acquisition in the gar-
den of the amateur. But Mr. Seymour's
last selection, is we surmise, likely to give
him still greater fame as a propagator. He
at year or so ago, had his attention drawn to
the “Henrietta Raspberry,” a chance seedling
first discovered on the banks of the Connecti-
cut at Glastonbury. This is the largest and
most prolific Raspberry we have ever seen or
heard of and is probably, as is' claimed, the
largest and most prolific Raspberry in the
cessive crops the past season, and it may still
be seen in hearing at his nursery grounds at
South Norwalk. Besides the enormous size
and amazing yield of these berries. the fruit
is of a most excellent flavor and the canes
are entirely hardy and extraordinarily thrifty
in appearance. We doubt if the owner of
Burns or Edwin Forrest are half as enthusias-
tic ever the unprecedented speed of their
wonderful steeds, as-isMr. Seymour over this
last new wonder of the berry kingdom.
DIME Cowman—The Dime Concerts at the
1st M. E. Church, which gave such good sat-
isfaction last spring, have been resumed. Mr.
S. S. Hatch is organist and Director. The
programme last evening embraced eight sc-
lections, including .chOI'USes, two piano solos
by Mrs. Chas. B. Boynton, two soprano s0-
los by Miss Nettie -S. Wood of Fair Haven,
two violin and piano pieces by Miss Libbic
F. Selleck and Mr. James Cousins, and M's-
erore, with solos by Mrs. Rufus Raymond
and Mr. Eben Hill.
An attempt was made last Saturday even-
ing to get out the Fire Department by setting
fire to a lot of boards in the empty coal yard
formerly occupied by Tollcs & Dake. There
was little or no danger of anything else taking
fire. A man passing saw the flames and quench-
ed them, and the alarm .at the Same time.
The person'who made the fire evidently did
not have the interest of oni- excellent Fire
Department at ,heart. Every false'ealarin,

The Terrible Scourge.
The heart—reading recitals-6f death and
suffering from the yellow-fever peatilence at
New Orleans, Memphis, a'ndbther’ southern
localities continue to pour’I‘in with increased
horrors. The weather has been very unfa-
vorable, and the soourgo seems-to ‘ have rap-
idly spread and assumed more deadly types
because of these . climatic conditions, the
growing scarcity of nurses, medicines and
proper nourishment and rcsleratives, for the.
stricken sufferers. All who can, have-fled
from the plague infested districts, and those
left behind are described as in a most deplor-
able condition of alarm and suffering. The
great, generous heart of the north and east is
nobly awakening to the calls of distress and
contributions of money and supplies are be-
ing forwarded to the distressed as rapidly as
possible. May God grant that this fearful
scourge of the south, which has been met by
such quick and unbounded charity at the
north, may prove a new and potent chord to
bind the heretofore discordant sections in
closer bonds of love, fraternity and union.
Elections. ,
' There is a State election to—day, in Ver-
mont,which is to elect a Legislature that isle
elect a successor to Hon. Justiu'P. Merrill
in U. S. Senate. State officers and three Con-
gressmen are also to be elected, and all will
be Republicans.
In Arkansas the election took place yester-
day, and comprised state officers and a Legis-
lature, all no doubt Democratic. The Legis-
lature elects a successor to Senator Dorsey,
Republican. The Arkansas Congressmen
are not elected till November._

The persistent violations of the liquor law
and the defiance of the temperance senti-
ments of . the. community,- met with an an-
expected check last week in the arrest of
the proprietors at all the leading drinking
saloons in the Borough. The gauge of bat-
tle having been thrown down and tufts
of grass having failed the good temperanCo
people resolved to trywhat virture there
was in stones, or the law enforced. _ A week
ago Oliver Cotter the well known converted
cx-liquor dealer came up here from Brook-
lyn and went the grand rounds of our se-
loons. _ Here in his capacity as a liquor expert
he obtained the evidence needed to commit,
and the violators of the Ne License law
were arrested and placed on trial before
J usticc E. W. Stuart.
On Wednesday the following dealers were
tried: Alonzo Kelly, Giles Gregory, Ed-
ward Thompson, James Hadden, William
Hands. All were convicted and sentenced
to pay the usual fine of $50, with the excep-
tion of Wm. Hands, in whose case decision
was reserved.
On Thursday, a still larger batch of cases
was tried, as follows: Michael Ratchford,
J _ohn Faber: Wm. Meseberg, Isaac Lee, John
Homing, Joseph Shepherd, Geo. Burt,
Henry Ritche, and James Me Kearnen.
Ritche was discharged, decision was reserved
in the case of Shepherd, and all the others
were fined $50 and costs. All found guilty
appealed as usual.
J. B. Hurlbutt, assisted by John S. Sey-
mour, was attorney for the prosecution and
H. H. Barbour conducted the defence.
Cotter proved himself a ready match for the
apt lawyers interrogations and when asked
how he became a judge 0f the contraband
article, he replied “by sixteen years exper-
ience in the custom house in New York as
an examiner of liquors, seven years a dealer
on his own account, and for four years past
a detective of illegal dealers.”

become very annoying, and the Warden will

We have observed in driving through the
county the past few days, that the barns and
fences in every direction, have suddenly
bloomed out with the handsome new bills of
the Agricultural Fair this year. Al-
though thcsc posters wer uruished much
later than usual, the energy and tact dis.
played by John F. Buxton in posting them
in the most conspicdous places at all promi-
nent points, will serve to obviate to a great
degree, any lack of notice caused by the bills
being gotten out so late.

On Thursday afternoon last, fire was dis-
covered iu a shed adjoining Dr. McLean’s
'barn. The Phoenix crab went up, and a
stream of water soon put an end to all fears
for the safety of adjacent property. It seems
