The Fair.
The show inside the exhibition building
Wis equal to most recent years. As in these
later times the main interest seems to centre
in and upon the race course, there is not that
special effort made for the other and oldest
branches, which used to interest and instruct
visitors to the exhibition quarters of an
agriculture show. This year, the trotting bill
was well and apparently. very satisfactorily
filled. Still there will be those old-time
friends of the Fair of purely Agricultural or
esthetic tastes, who will growl because the
horse is crowding himself to the front at all
modern State, County and Town annual
Fairs. Another year, the “horse" ought to
be made to divide interest and honors with
some human, or better, inhuman, pedestrian
contestants.
The ladies, God bless them, came to the
rescue nobly within Exhibition Hall. There
was an unusual quantity of fine needle work,
crocheting. Wt. x-fiowers, (some exquisite
specimens) and the usual abundance of bed—
quilt designs. A. Dickerman & Son exhibit-
ed a tempting l-i'. of Brussels carpeting and
the June Brothers some very nicely executed
samples of Rag carpets of their own weav—
ing. Mrs. Fawcett had two large show cases
filled with tempting bonnets and jaunty
ladies hats and trimmings. The Cousins and
A. E, Hoyt do Go. cases'of superb shoes &c.
A. Jackson 85 Brother a case of superior ex—
hibits of wares in the jewelry line. Harlem
& Nichols a case of exquisite cloths and
garments; Sewing, washing and churning
machines innumerable. Peter Guigue had
the largest and finest show of hot house
plants we have ever noticed at any previous
fair. He was followed closely by John
Smith, E. A. Woodward and E. B. Jennings.
Peter had a list of over 200 distinct varieties
of plants. Hindly had a large and fine exhi-
bit of wall papers. Raymond do Brother,
city, paints and salt of superior quality.
George Rice a fine variety of his unique
articles in walnut, such as blanking cases,
commodes, meat safes, toWel racks, &c., &c.
Stanley had a very attractive news-stand
fully equipped, but sandwiched with horrid
tobacco. Glines and Whitney had their
unrivalled photos, and Mrs. James L. Ferris
had a case of rare birds staffed by herself in
a manner that shows the lady to be an expert
taxidermist. DeKlyn and Farm MEAD,
had candy making in full operation. Mead
had his first lieut. David L. Nelson, on the
jump over the sugar and syrups, kettles and
a corps of helpers packing and delivering to
the impatient crowds of buyers. “David”
boiled down about three barrels of sugar
during the Fair. Murray’s Buckboards at-
tracted special attention, and Dunn says they
ride very easy, and are easy for the horse.
A brick—making machine also attracted much
curious attention. A toy house and grounds
showed patient and skillful labor, John H.
‘ Sherwood showed an old time wooden plow
used in Connecticut before the great inven-
tion of the iron plow by Jethro Wood.
Dennis Foley exhibited a fine lot of his
patented hammer and pick axe handles, ox
yoxes and whifiletrees. Dwyer a large case
of saddlery ware equipments, and Ferris the
P. T. Barnum double and the George I
Keeler fine single harness. Butter, bread,
cake, honey, pickles, and preserves formed a
tempting feature, and would have done credit
to any State Fair. .
Our Friends of the Sentinel had a case of
all the newest novelties in the stationer’s line
in which they deal, and made about the most
attractive and interesting exhibit within the
Hall. We trust they may make up in glory
what they may have lost in direct pecuniary
return for their elaborate and exceedingly
fine display. The show of fruits and vege-
tables were not what the season should have
given us. As usual, John Ryan, gardener
to Oliver Hoyt, covered himself all over with
glory in showing four of the largest water-
melons, we think it safe to say, ever raised
in America. Two of them weighed respect.
ively 63 and 57} lbs, or a total for the two
melons of 120;- lbs 1 He calls this enor-
mous variety the “Ryan Hybred.” He also
exhibited three monster bunches of hothouse
‘ grapes weighing 20 lbs. Ryan made no
competitive exhibit this year, which was
greatly to be regretted, as he could no doubt
have carried off the sweepstakes on vegeta—
ble. ThomasRyan, Gardenerlto J. B. Hoyt.
of Stamford, made his first display this year,
and was the only gardener who made a full
and fair display. His show of Peaches,
grown under glass, was the best we ever saw
here, while his grapes, though not quite up
to John Ryan’s usual show, was very good,
and were quite a credit to him. In garden
vegetables he had a full assortment, all
as goodas could be desired, and hope he will
try again. Hon. F. W. Bruggerhof exhibit—
ed several stalks ofta new seedling corn, call-
ed Blunt's Prolific, of which he has two
acres, and on which the full sized ears range
from five to ton on a single stalk. This is a
wonderful advance on all previous successes
in augmenting the prolific qualities of our
field corn. There we sthe usual show of pump-
kins, beats,cabbages and turnips, The pota-
toes and onions were exceedingly fine. Win.
J. Finch, of Westport, exhibited some of ~
the finest onions we ever saw, and Edson M.
Raymond, of Silver Mine, showed the finest
specimens of Hubbard and Boston Marrow
squashes we ever saw grown in Connecticut.
Tom Clune had a Valpiraso squash weighing
110 pounds. John Ryan raised six Beauty
of Hebron potatoes which weighed rising of
two lbs and four oz. each, A basket of fine
home grown sweet potatoes also attracted
marked attention. Thomas Ryan, gardener
. to J. B. Hoyt, Esq., of Stamford, swept the
tables on the greatest variety and best assort.
meat of vegetables, and Tom Clune folIOWed
and captured the second premium.
The cattle, and family horses and coils
were creditable. McCready's thoroughbred
Alderney Bull “Compo,” was the finest ani-
mal of his kind we eVer saw on our grounds.
The train of oxen showed ,extra fine pairs of
red Devons. The poultry show was never
better. E. K. Lockwood made his usual
attractive display of household wares and
necessities. We would recomend the Fair
I managers to adopt the rule of all State Fairs
of placing the names of all exhibitors on
their articles. It would prove a special sat-
isfaction to the visitor and work no possible
harm.
The net receipts of the Fair are not as
large as was hoped for. Mayor Morison, as
financial agent, exerted himself to,the utmost
to make this year’s‘ exhibition a pecunia-
ry success, but it is a large and cumbersome
and growingly expensive affair, and there are
many reasons why a fortune cannot be reali-
zed in a five days’ show. .
But a single accident marred the week's
entertainment. Late Friday afternoon a col-
lision of sulkies occurred on the track, in
consequence of which the driver was thrown
from his broken sulky and the horse ran and
jumped over the railing into the crowd
abreast of Exhibition Hall, and the wonder
is that no one was killed outright. A Mrs.
John Dugan and a lad namedJohn Rodgers
of Norwalk, and Eva Selleck of Darien were
Scores were severely jostled, pushed aside
and had their clothes torn, amppg them Dr.
Lockwood, whois out a $12 pair of pants but
no serious injury was‘reported. All in all the
exhibition of 1879 must be voted a success.
There were great numbers in attendance
on Thursday, and the largest Friday sale of
admissions ever experienced by the Society.
Betts & Kellogg exhibited a new Harrow,
combining a clad crusher, pulverizer and
.x
\\
barrow-which won the favorable admiration
of the farmers. ’ .
C. A. Meeker showod a Harrow to finely
pulverize the surface of the ground for onion
and carrot planting, &c.
Kroger, Bradley, Gregory and Betta did
all in their power to make the Fair a com-
plete success. James Finney, Capt. Crabbe,
and Fort Jones made everything safe and
pleasant inside Exhibition Hall, and Ed
Northrop kept cverthing in “high feather" in
the poultry department.
The managers of the Fair are entitled to
the thanks of many weary ladies for provid-
ing numerous settees in the exhibition Hall.
The Trotting.
Wednesday, the first day for speed premi-
ums being rainy, the trots were put into the
next day, instead of, as heretofore, driving
the programme over to Saturday,therefore the
visitors had their fill of trotting on Thursday,
and it was all u'nexceptionably good,—the
general verdict being, “fair and square, good
horses, fair driving, no jockeying." In sev—
eral of the classes the horses keeping a great-
er part of the time in a. bunch, so equally
matched were they, and it was about impos-
sible to tell for several heats which horse
would win the race.
In the three minute class L. H. Chase’s
Hero,of New York,won in 2:40§,with Dann’s
Harry second, and W. M. Ferris, Stamford
third with Billy; four heats trotted.
In the 2:44 class,Dickcr man,of New York
won first with Lillie in four heats; best
times2.4la_i; Arthur Sherwood’s Farmer Girl,
second; Dann's Pinafore, third.
The 2:28 class, John D. Cole, New Bridge,
New Jersey, won with Martha; L. H. Hurd’
second, with Modoc. Three straight heats,
best time 2:36.
The Running Race was exciting and was
won by Lizzie D. first, Patrol second, and
Pomeroy third.
On Friday, in the 2:50 class the first heat
was a tie between Harry and Farragut. The
next three were won by Dana’s Harry, best
time 2:39. Farragut ran way, jumping rail-
ing and breaking his sulk n third heat, but
Was back to work on fourth heat, Chase’s
Hero was second and Folkand’s Kate‘ third.
W 2237 was warmly contested with this
result, J. N. Lewis of Stratford first with
Olive; Ike Lee's Helen second: John M.
Ferris’ Ellen third. Best time 2:36.
The Hurdle Races were last and were high-
ly enjoyed, the several {horses taking the
jumps in fine style.
The weather for the whole week was all
that could be desired, and the receipts for
Thursday about $1,200 and on Friday $1,000,
and in all about $4,000 for the entire week.
Wm. Mills met with a serious loss in the
death of his horse by reason of a drunken
fellow running his shaft into the breast of
the Mill’s‘horse, near Lamb's shop in Main
street Thursday evening. The rowdy whipp-
ed up and drove off before he could be
identified.
m
The Chlsolm Murder.
We give on to-day’s outside Mrs, Chisolm’s
minute narrative of the butchery of her hus-
band, daughter and baby-boy! Its tragic
recital of the horrors of that event will not
only repay reading, but will lead every one,
with the least spark of humanity, to seriously
reflect whether such things can be or are to
be endured anywhere within the realms of
civilization.
The Astley Belt.
Rowell, by a dogged exhibition of endu-
rance, made 530 miles and carries the cham-
pion belt back to England. Merritt, the
Bridgeport boy, came in just fifteen miles
behind Rowcll, and takes 2d money, and
Hazel 3d. Despite the shades of brutality
attending these severe strains upon the
human system, all New York and the rest
of mankind seem to have gone mad ever it
and nearly eighty thousand people paid their
dollar each to witness the dreary tramp.
Had Merritt overlapped Rowell we suppose
the trains evan, would have had to halt out-
side the city limits and then run into proud
Bridgeport under escort. This reconciles us
to seeing that “belt” carried back over the
sea.

More Burglaries.
This time the “avenging angels" raided
Burgess Cowles’ house on Wednesday night
last on the Green and stole about all the spare
silver ware that was loose pbout the house.
He heard a noise about three o’clock and got
up and went down stairs, but seeing nothing
amiss retired for a morning nap, the burglars
undoubtedly leaving the house at that time.
The house of Miss Mary Hoyt adjoining
was also entered, the pantries pillaged of food
and a new overcoat belonging to Gould Hoyt
stolen.
made an inefiectual effort to enter his house
the same night. The family were aroused
which doubtless frightened them away.
Deputy Sheriff Dann’s house was entered
the same night that Burgess Cowles’ was de-
sinled, and his pocket-book taken from his
pants. His massive gold watch and chain
was in bis-vest hanging beside his bed on the
same chair with his pants. Darin had his re-
volver all capped under his pillow, but the
thief was too still for him. Next ti me he
says he will lay awake for him.

Special Town Meeting.
An honest effort-is being made to improve
our system of road repairing, and to reduce
the expense of the same. To this end the
Selectmen have been petitioned to call a
Special Town Meeting, which they have
done as will be seen by the call. Tax—payers
will do well to atted, and see that the matter
is fairly discussed. All that is sought for, as
we understand it, is good roads for as small
a tax as possible. .
,Rldgefield Fair.
This is the week for our Ridgeficld friends
to hold their annual town fair, and they pro-
pose having a good one,—-as good as their
neighbors, —we understand. Of course they
will succeed. This year they advertise the
extra attraction of a Balloon Ascension, for
Thursday. Give old Ridgefield a visit.
Rev. J. A. Hamilton, pastor of the Congre-
tional church, preached eloquently last Sab—
bath against the wrong of slander. He said
that not to deny} slander is to be an abettor
of it; that no one has a right to remain si-
lent when he knows that the character of a
good man is unjustly assailed; that it is the
duty of every true man to search out the
truth' and stand manfully for its defense.
That to stand and see another destroyed is
criminal timidity, as the meanest man on the
face of the earth may start a scandal, and
the meanest do it best. The preacher showed
‘how by a combined effort on .the part of
good men the wrongs to the public and pri-
vate which afilict society, and the church
might be overcome, while but the want of an
earnest, Christian philanthropy and the ab-
sence of the love of the right was lamentably
apparent in that want of concentration of
effort on the part of the church. The dis-
course closed with an earnest appeal for help
in the warfare against the formidable array
of crimes which afllict our community.

The law requires in every case when a pc—

Amusements.
This evening at the Opera House, Wash-
burn’s Last Sensation combined with Mc-
Allister’s Minstrels, will give a performance
The name of Washburn is enough to fill the
House. As to McAllister the Roundout
Courier says : ' ‘
“The entertainment given last evening by
Billy McAllister‘s troupe was excellent in
every respect. McAllister himself was at
his best, and played with surprising vigor.
He is one of the very best real negro delin-
eators in the country, and throws a wonder-
ful deal of real wit in his performance * *
Altogether this is as complete a company
as travels, and gives a very attractive per—
formance.” '
Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
The public never tire of a really good rep-
resentation of Mrs. Stowe‘s great drama, and
the company which is to render it at West-
port, Wednesday, and here . at the Opera
House, Thursday evening, being all first-class
artists, a rare entertainment may
dently relied upon.

Miss Foster as Eliza Harris, and little .Gertic

Baker as Marks, Maddock as St. Clair, Peters

fore prescntcd to :1 Norwalk audience. This
company played Uncle Tom’s Cabin to
crowded houses for thirteen weeks at the
Grand Opera House, and for five more weeks
at the 5th Avenue Theatre, New York, last
season. They deserve a crowded house here.
THE STANDARD Pixirona.
We are to have the Standard Theatre Pin-
afore after all, and the genuine article, as
will be seen by the folliwing letter which
fully explains itself :—
Sraxpam) THEATRE,
NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 1879.
Enirons Nonwanx GAZETTE : ,
GENTS :—In bringing my Pinafore com—
pany to your beautiful city, I am under the
impression it would be proper for me to say
that they are my own Standard Theatre
Company as I played them the last weeks
of the great run of Pinafore at my Theatre,
and under my personal management. When
announced to visit your city, a few weeks
since, I found my company could not leave
other engagements in time to join me, and
I could not for my own reputation give you
substitutes. Mr. .Wallace MeCury, was
then singing in the Abbott company, now
released ; Miss Mills was and is singing in
cities of Washington and Baltimore. She
being the daughter of Mr. Mills,'the famous
Washington sculptor, and the original
Josephine of the Standard Theatre singing
the part one hundred performances there,
and for me while traveling, one hundred
more. “My Dick Deadeye” was singing in
Collvilles company, but is now with me.
My Hebe, the beautiful Miss Carter, was
singin in Brooklyn, but is now with me.
So I ave my complete company and can
assure the public they are all I claim for
them, and will render Pinafore as given in
New York. ‘ Iwill be in person with the
company, Yours Trul ,
WM. ENDERSON.
The management has adopted a new-plan
‘for- selling seats, which will be popular.
The admission has been put at 50 cents
with privilege of reserved seat if bought
before the night of performance, and 75
cents it bought that evening. Of course
the Hall will be crowded,—for our people
seldom have such an opportunity of atten.
ing a first-class performance of this kind.
Colfax’s Lecture
Don’t forget that on Oct. 29M this great
Lecture is to be given at 'Lockwocd's Hall,

,It is descriptive of a. three thousand mile
stagqride before the Pacific Railroad was
built, from the Missouri River to Denver,
Salt Lnke,-Nevada., California, Oregon, and
Washington Territory to the Straits of Fuca
and Vancouver’s Island. The Lecture treats
of the Plains, the Mountains and the Mines,
—the Yosemite, Geysers and Big Trees,—
Mormonism and our duty towards it, «be.
The Albany (N!.) Evening Journals oke
of this Lecture, e ltorily, as follows: “ wee-
dle Hall was filled last night to hear Mr.
Colfax’s Lecture, ‘Across the Continent,’
most of our leading citizens and a full quo-
rum of the Legislature being present, and all
were delighted. We never heard so much of
the beautiful, interesting and instructive
crowded into ninety minutes. The Lecture
in a splendid panorama, presenting to the
mind the various scenes described, with the
vividness of the pencil. But it is not in its
word-pictures merely that this Lecture is at—
tractive. Its review of Mormonism, and its
compact and graphic survey of the mineral
wealth and agricultural capabilities of the
vast territory lying between 'the Mississippi
River and Pacific Ocean, furnishes the states-
man and the statician food for grave thought
and yet for bright anticipation. We thank
hip; in the name of all who heard him, for
having giyen than} an opportunity to join him
in his dehghtf'ul ride ‘Across the Continent'."

WEST STRATF‘DRD.
The all absorbing topic in this place, at
resent, seems to be the killing of Rev. Mr.
ounsbury on Wednesday last. There seems
to be no doubt amen the people oft
part of the town, that Irs. L. was labo
under a fit of temporary insanity when she
committed the deed. Mr. L. was for some
time rector of Coit Memorial Chapel of this
place and made many friends during his
charge. The action of justice S. D. Smith
in putting Mrs. L. to plead before she could
be represented by counsel is condemnedin
in very strong terms, asis also his action
in ordering the reporters from the room
during a part of the inquest. The funeral
of the deceased, took place on Saturday
last, and was very largely attended. His
brother clergyman from nearly all parts of
the County were present, and the services
were very solemn and impressive.
We noticed in last weeks GAZETTE, an
article in regard to the jury by whom Bucholz
was tried. The GAZETTE was right in re-
senting the imputation that Selleck Youngs
was the juror who stood out against afirst
degree verdict at first and then changed his
opinion. Your correspondent-is in posses—
sion of evidence which enables him to state
most in'tloely that such was not the fact.
Mr. oungs was for a verdict of murder in
the first degree and all the time. " We could
give the name of the juror who changed
his opinion, but we have been requested by
our informant notto do so at present. Con.
ccrning Mr. Youngs suffice it to say this
much: He was asked if he could not give
his conseptto a verdict of murder in the
second degree. He answered, “Gentlemen,
I cannot; my conscience will not allow
me. ._ .

STONE IN THE BLADDER EXPELLEI) AFTER US-
ING MEDICINE AIOUT TWO \VEEKS.
One of the most remarkable cases that has ever
been brought to the notice of the public is that
of Mr. J. S. Boach,ol Stone Ridgc.Ulstcr Co.,N.Y.
Mr. Beach had suffered since Oct. 18, 1874,1'r cm
the presence of Calculus or Stone in the right
Kidney. and he endured pain month after nioiilli
more than tongue can tell, which ’rondcred him
totally unable to attend tollis nsual- occupation.
No less than seven physicmns were employed at
different tnnes,to_w om MrJScach paid hundreds
otjdollars for medicdl treatment. with only tem-
porary relief from his agony.
_ By the urgent solicitation of his iricnds he was
induced to try Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
Accordingly, on the 28th day of August last be
procured a bottle of Mr. Kimble of Stone Ridge,
in this county, and strange as it may seem, it is
none the less true, that he experienced a marked
improvementlrom the first day he began to use
the medicine. He continued to grow better every
day, when on the 15th day of September he void-
ed a stone as large as could be passed through the
natural channel, which was very rough and of
irregular shape. His Joy was unbounded, for be
well knew that this had been the cause of all his
trouble. He showed the stone to severai ol‘ the
physicians who had attended him previous to
using the Favorite Remedy, and ALL of them ex-
pressed in unmeasured terms their sur ' rise at
the PROMPTNESS and CERTAINT with
which the Favorite Remedy had acted. Nor (lid
they seek to hide their pleasure at seeing Mr.
Beach so happily relieved of his difficulty.
Mr. Beach concludes :1 long letter to Dr. Ken.
nedy by saying: “You have indeed made a. great
discovery—one that has and will continue to
prove a. real blessing-a boon to sufi'cring human
ity; and it will always afi‘ord me pleasure to rec-
ommend the Favorite Remedy to those who mnv
be suffering from dillicultiesof the Kidneys and
Bladder,or any disorders arising from an impure
state of the blood. You are at liberty to make
such use of this letter as you may think best.
Yours, ver truly,
J. S, BEAC , Stone Ridge, Ulster Co., NY.”

If the experience of the present scaSon has
that the Bottom Prices on nearly all kinds of
Building Materials have been reached, and.
that the tendency of prices, from this time
forward, will be upward. Especially is this
the case with all grades of Lumber. From
the prices of mid-— summer, there is already an
advance of at least ten per cent. with every
indication of a. much greater one. , With an
advance of three to four dollars per thousand
in lake and canal freights, and an unpre-
tho enormous crops) whence our supply comes
it is easy to see the cause and predict the per-
manoncc of the increase in price. For the
past few years it has been my unfortunate
privilege to follow the market down ! DOWN 1
DOWN! but my fifth in the increasing de-
mand and the decreasing supply of good Pine
Lumber in this country, is at length justified
and this advance finds me with the largest
stock of
Pine, Spruce Mandibular,
and Shingles, on hand, and in process of ship-
ment, that was ever placed in this market by
any one.
After the continual shrinkage of the past
few years, I feel that I am now enlitled to the
advance, in addition to a fair profit upon
present prices. But believing that quick
sales, even with small profits, is better than
stagnation, I have concluded toput this Lum—
ber on the Market at the present W holesalc
Prices, adding simply the actual expenses of
transacting business.
This Lumber, purchased in J aim and July,
comprises nearly two million feet of the best
manufactures of Michigan pine,Northern and
Eastern Spruce, two million Shingles, and
nearly one million Bangor Lathe. With this
as a basis I think I may justly claim to be
able to furnish the largest and best assortment;
of lumber in this county during the present
Fall and coming W inter, and. with unequal—
led storagc and shipping facilities, am pre-
pared to fill all orders with a guarantee of
satisfaction surpassed by no other dealer. I
keep only C. G. Stearns & Co.’s Bangor tim-
ber, which is worth more and costs more at
wholesale than the Calais timber. I sell it at
same price. It is clean, bright and. free from
grit, not being rafted either here or in Maine.
I sell only Bangor Laths which are worth
more and cost more at wholesale, than any
other kind. I sell them as low as the lowest.
factured by the men whose names are stamp
ed upon each bunch, and whose reputation,
with my own, are a. sufficient guarantee of
the quality.
I desire above all things to furnish a. good
article, and endeavor to secure that by per-
ture, before purchasing, and am always ready
to warrant every thing as represented. All
my 1%, 1.}, and 2 inch lumber, in upper grades
will be surfaced two sides to full thickness,
for which no extra charge is made. I am
new closing out the last invoice of the Oscar
Fenn Parallel Planed Shingle—and during
the coming season my stock will be of the
following kinds :
S. K. & Co., rived.
John McGraw do 00., sawed,
Foster, Blackman & Co., sawed,
W. C. Cummings, sawed,
with Southern RivedCedar and California.
Red wood to order.
I also offer at a. very low figure, CLEAR
NORWAY FLOORING, 2:} 3} 5%- inches
