Fnlrfield Celebrates.
oh: good friends ofFairfield have arranged
.for a creditable Celebration of the one hun-
dreth anniversary. of the burning of their
town by the marauding forces of Gen.
Tryon, which occurred on the 8th day of
July 1779. A cordial invitation is extended
to every one feeling an interest in the events
commemorated, to be present. A free colla-
tion will be served by the ladies, after the
speaking is concluded. The Times gives the
following pleasant notice of the event :—
The charming little town of Fairfield,
which looks out- upon the waters of the
Sound from the Connecticut shore, will cele
brute on the 8th inst, its destruction by the
British troo s one hundred years ago. All'
readers of monon- will remember how
graphically he describes the pillaging expe-
dition to punish Connecticut which Gov.
Tarors, in command at New York, planned
and led, and how great was the destruction
wrought by the troops he commanded in the
peaceful towns and vii along the shora
of the Sound. ' Fairfie d was su rised on
the afternoon of the 7th of July. 779, and-
‘ven‘ over to pillage and the . h
IIessians plundered right and left during the
and when the retreat was sounded at
sunset next day, the rear guard set fire to the
houses, and by the light of the burning
village, the expedition sailed for other scenes
of plunder. But Fairfied rose from’its ashes
more flourishing than before, and in the
celebration next Tuesday the colors of Eng
land and America are to be raised together,
while the commemoration hymn is sung, in
token that the harsh feelings of the past are
forgotten and the old time enemies are once
again united. The Governor of the State
will be there; the Rev. E. E. Rankin, D. D.,
and Dr. Osgood will deliver addresses during
night,
. the day; there will be a luncheon on the
green; the united choirs of the churches will
sing, the band will play the national airs of
th countries, and an immense crowdof
pleased and patriotic citizens is expected on
the occasion.
As Dr. Rankin has prepared this elaborate
sermon or address on the burning of Fair-
field, and as next Sunday the 13th is the
nearest Sabbath anniversary of the destruc-
tion of our town, we suggest that Rev. Mr.
Hamilton :invite him to repeat his dis-
course in the Congregational church next
Sunday. There is a peculiar fitness in so
doing. because of the close identity of the
events sought to be commemorated, because
of the leading and prominent identification of
the church in the patriot cause, and because
the lessons of virture and patriotism to be
derived therefrom and the universal gratifica-
tion it would cause.
Fair-field County Criminals.
A reporter recently viiiited the jail at
Bridgeport. He interviewed Edwin Hoyt,
the parricide, and found him hopeful of a
new trial and a final clearance. In regard
to the occurrences at the time of the murder
he says “it is all a blan .” Buckholz,
charged with the Schulte murder, thinks his
confinement effects his health, but is, on the
whole, as comfortable as could be expected.
He remains silent in regard to the crime
with which he is charged, by advice of his
counsel. John McAuliife, charged with wife
murder, said he was away from home at
the time his wife was injured, and be ex--
pects to he'dcelaredinnoeent of all com~
plicity in the crime. _Mrs. Toinlinson, who
recently shot her husband and then herself,
was unwilling to seethe reporter, but finally
received him with aminglingof courtesy and
displeasure. She refused to talk of her own
case, saying: “What is there to say? I am
here and that is all." Her manner was ex-
cited, and she paced the room incessantly
while the reporter was there. His. Tom—
linson’sease was continued in the Bridge—
port city court for one week. Dr. Hub.
bard, Tomlinson’s medical attendant, states
that although the danger of secondary . hem-
orrhage—the only issue to be feared in the
case—is nearly passed, he considered it bet—
ter for his patient to remain quiet for a few
days longer. The counsel of both sides have
agreed to the continuance. 1

The Examination of Teachers.
The recent action of the Board of School
Visitors in ordering a general examination of
the teachers of the public schools seems to
have provoked considerable curiosity and
some feeling, such as would be excited rath-
er by the novelty than by the hardship of the
proceeding. But it must be remembered that
although it may be a novelty in Norwalk, it
is not so in other States or other " towns of
Connecticut. Wherever taxpayers receive
the worth of their money in the shape of efil-
cient teaching by efilcient teachersit has al—
ularly recurring examinations by an impart'
Board of Visitors have been the surest means
of waking up the teachers and inviting them
to renewed efforts in future by giving to
lie approval. . M
It has been believed and asserted by soniS"
that the object of the Board's action was 3,9.-
secure plausible reasons for the dismissal of:
some of the teachers from their posts. But
this is an utter misapprehension of the case.
Of course if any teacher was shown by an ex-
amination test tobe so incompetent)” to be
unable to do any satisfactory work-.1; for the
ensuing year, the Board would‘ have been
faithless to their trust and their obligations to
the parents and taxpayers of the town if they
had not insisted upon the substitution of some
gober‘s have approved themselves, even in.
this first and necessarily hasty examination,
worthy of the continued confidence. of the
Board and of the public. Now that the teach“-
ers in our schools have the opportunity of
long and careful preparation for the ensuing
examinations, it is certain that they will reflect,
even more decided cre ' upon themselves or .
a body, and upon the
selected them.
classes of the community, the parents and;
tax-payers, who are especially interested. 1
in sustaining the Board’s action. Parents aré’
interested in obtaining for their children that
which is absolutely beyond price, an educa-
tion by live and active teachers. Tax-payers
are interested in getting an assurance of a full
and adequate return for the money expended
upon the schools. The Board of Visitors
have been charged with the duty of defend-
duty to the public by whom they were se-
lected. If they do their duty, they will not
ignore methods which have been proved by-
long experience in other States to be most
helpful in keeping up among {teachers that
much desire. They have, thm'efore, made a
beginning, and an eminently successful begin- .
ning, of a system which all successful teach:
ers approve. They feel confident that, when
the novelty of the matter has worn ofi’, there.
will be no warmer upholders of the system
than those who have so promptly accepted
the proposed test, and so satisfactorily dem-
onstrated their capability. '

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a safe, we wish to call your
_ attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
1st. Our “PATENT Ixsrns: BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the out above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to 011 or clean them without digging
V out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our‘safes on the
combination after theyhave passed throurrh a
severe fire, which- savesbreakiug them open.
2d. ~ Our “PATENT HINGED"CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being bus" on
hinges, and fastened by a'thuriibhcrewnihich
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
- ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our Fons-Wham Looks on
safes,_from the smallest to the largest, and So]:
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
. 4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED irisms
instead of wood-lined as in other Series, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, torretllcr
With the very hard nature of our filling: pre -
yents them from injury from falling, or fall—
mg walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are‘ made'with and’witliout inside
doors. In_tlie' great Boston fire our Safes had
the championrecord, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and. the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
. a complete list of our Safes exposed, tllose that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
by so doing theyswonld only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world. the Superiority of on“:
Safes, and our elai‘m'to 'the‘ champibii record.
.. Although that Great Fire. so' conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believemthat 'we could im«
provc_tlleir_i, and we have, therefore, since
. that time, increaSCJ the thickness of the walls
added to the humble: of flanges, and strength,-
oned them in. various ways, until we now
manufacture a. Safe better than ever before
and unequalled forits excellence. It has beeli
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing asafc to keep that ' which may
lizivc cost a lifetime to accumulate, the bcst is
decidedly the cheapest. In thesedull times
it is the custom ofo‘many safe—makers to man.
