DISCRETIONARY.

Character photograph, full length likeness
of “Hebe” and “Aunt Penelope,” of the
Westport Pinaforc Company, by Whitney.

Four specimens of photograph paintings,
the complete pictures being designated as
“Crystal Ivory Types,” by Mr. R. W. Lock—
wood, of New York, a yoiing man well
known here, are so well executed as to
warrant the committee’s high commendation.
The work on each is faithful and shows how
lifelike a plain photograph may become under
the hand of a person skilled in this peculiar
work. . .

Two life size crayon portraits, by Whit—
ney, the veteran Norwalk artist, are worthy
something more than special mention. The
largest Of the two represents Mr. J. E. Whee-
ler, President Of the Agricultural SOCIety,
and is a lifelike and speaking likeness from
the fact that this picture was enlarged_from
a small photograph, for which the original
sat fifteen§years ago. The work is creditable
and impresses the committee favorably, im—
pelling them to voluntarily declare Mr.
Whitney, for the business in which. lie ‘18
engaged, and acknowledge his capability in
this branch of a growingindustry, a premium
of $5 00.

The Bridgeport, Conn, agent for Messrs.
James Jr Holstrom, of New York, exhibits a
piano attached to which is a curious and
novel new appliance designed to facilitate
that most difficult task in the path of a young
musician—transposition. By means of a
lever the action of the instrument is changed
above or below a given pitch as the player may
elect. If the players’ favorite key is A and
he wants to perform in G orB flat,he studies
the keyboard to the notch required, and fol—
lowing the A gamut has the benefit of_ a
new combination of sounds. A piano With
tliis attachment would capitally answer a
chorus leader’s wants, especially when he
desired to have his leading soprano warble up
gracefully to concert 0. _ .

California Mosses.——This is a currosrty, the
artist having most ingeniously put together
specimens of moss, from California. The
work, though small,is large enough to give a
good idea of the thought and labor which
must have been expended to produce this
gem. .
A glance over this collection of photogrnpic
landscapes by Whitney reveals a number Of
dwellings occupied by citizens of this and

surrounding towns, and impresses the be—

holder, if he owns a house, With a desire to
possess just such a picture. Prominent
among them are the houses of F. M. Peaslee
and James Cousins, of Norwalk, F. W. Bru—
gcrhof, of Darlen, and A. M. LawrenCe and
J. E. Weeeler, of Saugatuck.

The Collection of photographs, by Glincs,
of Norwalk, does credit to that gentleman,
who has succeeded handsomely in his pleas
ant work. A good likeness of one’s friend
speaks well for the man who caught that
friend’s countenance. Glinos has proved
himself master of the premises.

The committee, while acknowledging the
superiority of specimen’s in class 9 over those
of_former years desire to bespeak a fuller
exhibit another year, and to say to artists and
others that the wish Of the managers of the
Agricultural Society is to honestly encourage
art, and to assist the efforts, as much as pos—
sible, of those who have genius, and are wil-
ling to show it by producing something.

For train of Oxen, Westport and
Green’s Farms, $25 00

Your Committee desire to make special
mention of the unusually large and fine train
of Oxen shown by the Farmers of Westport.
Thirty yoke of Oxen entered the Fair Grounds
in one Train all owned by the Practical Far—
mers of Green’s Farms and Westport and we
can safely say that as fine a train scarcely
ever passed on any Fair Grounds;none of them
were “Show Cattle” ; all were real working
Cattle owned and worked by the Farmers,and
when tested in all the ways your Com-
mittee could devise, it was hard to select the
best. Everything showed thrift and care on
the part of the Farmers as the Oxen all Show-
ed good care and their tractability, and docil-
ity, showed that the Farmers have learned
“Kindness is the best rule” to break and con-
trol animals. ' .

The Hon. Frederick Miles, member of
Congress for this District, visited this place
last Thursday to inspect the harbor at Five
Mile River. Previous to his election to
Congress, Mr. Miles was asked if in the event
of his election, he would do what he could
to secure an appropriation for the clearing of
this convenient little harbor, and this visit
was the first step in the fulfillment of his
promise to do so. Mr. Miles’s visit was un-
expected; onlyafcw of the leading oyster
dealers being present owing to the short given
of his Coming. He made a careful survey of
the work required and left promising to do
all that he could to forward the work.

AVING met with astonishing success in the
treatment of all forms of Chronic Diseases,
Dr. Cooke wrll continue to devote himself entirely
to chronic cases. 'liemg convinced from experi-
ence that no Physxctaii can properly treat chronic
cases of disease whose attention is also taken up
With acute cases of diseases. There is no time
during the rounds of the family doctor to give
that attention to his chronic patients that the in-
tricate nature 01 the ailment calls for. A Doctor
who is called to perhaps iilty cases 0 day of acute
diseases, and who can barely stay with any one
patient more than ten minutes at each visit. and
then the physician must make a hurried, and in
many cases an incorrect diagnosis of the case,
not from want of ability but from want of proper
time to devote to each particular case. How fu»
tilc then for any family physicmn to attempt to
treat chronic complaints, which require great
study, perseverance, and plenty of time to apply
the necessary remedies, and only rare medicines
are o/any avail in chronic diseases. How many
millions are there in the world who suffer chronic
pains from Rheumatism, Neurulgia, and kindred
complaiutsxwho are pronounced incurable by the
family phySicum, but whose sufferings are grad-
ually and Surely removed by the use of Animal
Ma nciism, G:tlvauism,Cl:iirvoynnce, and Hydro-
pat y. the use of rare medicines, lately discovered.
new combinations of powerlnl, penetrating, and
relaxing liucuieuts, diet, liygenc, exercise, and
pleusurcablc excitants, mind and nerve food, suit-
able to each individual case and circumstance.
Galvanic Baths have proved of the greatest utili
ty in all cases of chronic diseases. The object is to
give tone to the nervous system, and in this way
improve the powers of nutrition, and is especially
applicable to aged persons, to delicate chloratic
females, exhausted merchants, or literary men,
whose decay of powers is caused by overtaxing
drafts on the verticlcs and couvultions of the brain
and. nerve force,which is often permanent. To
these patients the Galvanic bath excreises a di-
rect curative influence, on the disease. In cer-
tain diseases of‘ the skin, as Eczema, the local ap-
plication of electricity is very efficacious, either
alone or with central galvanism. Dysmcnorhea, .
or painful periods, and in prolapsus oi the womb,
galvanism acts like a charm,rcmovin the difllcul-
ty, Rheumatism,Nenral ia.St. Vitus ance, Nerv-
ousness, Prostration, l eakness, nobility, Head-
ache, Dumb Ague, and all nervous debilitating
complaints, speedily and surely removed by the
new treatment. or combination of remedies of
great medical power, and which until a late date
were entirely unknown to the most eminent phy
sicians. To those suffering from general prostra-
tion, decline of life powers, decline of nerve. force,
decline of vitality, lost manhood, and diseases 01
the sexual organs. impediments to marriage. the
combined treatment offers the only escape from a
premature grave, or a 1iv1ng death.
