Our Stricken President.
Depressing as have been the reports fljom
,Washington since Saturday, the news is not
or that desperate character of afiweek ago,
when our sanguine hopes were so rudely
dashed by tidings of his alarming relapse.
“While there is life there is hope,” and Mon-
day's bulletin give sure indication that his
condition is a little more encouraging than
during the previOus forty-eight hours. He
has received food again by the mouth, and
his stomach retains it,is in brief the substance
of Monday‘s dispatches from the White
House. Meanwhile the anxiety of the whole
American people remains unabated. No
surer index, meantime, of the strong hold
the patient, heroic sufferer has upon the
hearts of the people could be given than in
the sudden transitions from hope to dcspond-
ency as his condition hovers in the balance.
That his life is still in imminent peril cannot
be doubted. Yet his robust constitution still
seems equal to the desperate strain laid upon
it, in every relapse he has been called upon
to suffer. How much longer this magnifi-
cent reserve power of our President may be
relied upon to rally exhausted nature, can
only be conjectured. His wound is oflicially
reported as in “good condition,” and yet the
fact cannot be disguised that his life is .in
great danger. Seven weeks have now
elapsed since the dastardly act of 'the
assassin plunged the nation in grief. During
this time the public mind has had time to
cool and the strain upon our feelings to relax.
It is well said that while we might reason—
ably look for some signs of diminution and
weakening of the tension upon public feel-
ing as regards the President’s condition, we
find upon each grave turn of his case, the
evidences of profound and all pervading
grief returning in full force. ‘I “Business is
partially suspended, stocks fall, the produce
markets are depressed, crowds of people
surround the bulletin boards waiting with
deep solicitude for the latest news, sorrow
is depicted on all countenances, and from
over the sea come fresh messages betokening
the anxiety of distant peoples and their unex-
hausted sympathy with us. So moving a
picture has seldom been delineated on the
surface of modern life and society. If the
President finally recovers, thousands. yea,
millions of hi. fellow men will cherish an
ardent affection for him who never saw him,
men who before felt only indifference to-
ward him or who may even have disliked
him. Unmerited suffering in the discharge
of his great trust has cast abouthim the halo
of a nation’s tenderness.” All we can say to
relieve that anxiety which this day oppresses
us all is that the latest news from the Presi-
dent’s bedside is more encouraging again,and
that the physicians who attend the sufferer
still permit us to hope for a favorable issue
out of his desperate fight with death.

17th Conn. Reunion.
The citizens of New Canaan have been
making quite extensive preparations to en-
tertain the veterans of the gallant old 17th
Connecticut Volunteers, on the anniversary
of that regiments organization. This occurs
next Saturday, Aug 27th. One of the sad. ‘
amongthe many joyous incidents of these
reunions, is the noticeable fact oflhc dimin-
ishing numbers of those who yearly meet.
Death and departure from thestate, have seri-
ously thinned the ranks of thoge who came out
the war unscathed mosta score of years ago.
But as the years g y and the ranks of these
, veterans, baptised as they Were in the bloody
strife for the [perpetuity of our Union grow
annually thinner the ties of comradship and
brotherly love, grow, [all the stronger, and
we shall expect to see a full rally of the
"boys in blue” and their families at New
Canaan next Saturday.

The (Io-operative Factory. '
The prospects are very encouraging for
the launching of the Co-operative Shoe Man-
ufactory. The Board of Trade are receiving.
much encouragement in their active efforts
to promote the enterprise. An adjourned
meeting of the Board is to be held at the
ofiice of Horse Railway Company, on Thurs-
day morning, at 9 o’clock; all citizens inte-
' rested are invited to be present.
St. Paul’s Sunday School. .
The bad weather last week twice caused a
postponement of the excursion of this school
to Brookside Park. If the weather continues
pleasant the excursion will take place to-
morrow, Wednesday, 24th.
m
ThelJ nlon Manufacturing Co.
A movement of more importance to Nor-
walk than the establishment of the Shoe
factory is that which has been going on
quietly for several months past within the
Union M’f’ . Co. The proposition to devote.
a part of the Company’s machinery to the
manufacture of .thread goods has been report-
cd upon favorably by the committee," and a
meeting of stockholders has been called to
ratify the same and approve plans. The
Company has an enormous quantity of ma-
chinery on hand, and it is believed that under
existing circumstances a. portion ofIit can be
used to better advantage'than at present, by
carrying out the new plan. The change, as
a matter'of course, will involve quite a large
outlay for a new building and necessary ma-
chinery. If the plan is adopted the company
will be enabled to manufacture either felt or
thread goods, or both, as the state of the
markets may warrant. The action of stock—
holders will be watched with much interest
by all who have the good of the town at heart.
m
Weddings.
Cards of invitation have been issued for
the marriage of Mr. John Camp and Miss
Price, daughter of Burgess Platt ' Price.
The happy affair takes place next Tuesday
evening, the 39th inst., at the residence of
the bride's parents on West avenue. ' Several
other weddings are soon to take place in the
Borough. I
Cards are out for the nuptials of Mr. Wm.
_ E. Smith and Miss Charlotte T. Craufurd.

Australian—A man named Smith came
down from Danbury on the milk train Sun-
day evening, and hired a' horse and carriage
at Dana’s stable to convey him to New
Canaan. He has stable boy with him, and
they started off during the shower, the night
being very dark. On Riverside avenue, at
- the~ lower end. near the abutment of the old
bridge, they failed to make the turn soon
womb and were precipitated down the bank-
The horse was somewhat injured, the car-
riage smashed, and Mr. Smith was badly cut
‘ and bruised, but fortunately escaped with
his life. The boy was not hurt. If there
had been a railing there, the accident would
not have occurred.

Fran—A young man, while out riding on
Sunday afternoon last. was considerably

Plc-Nic.
A very enjoyable and a very sensible pic-
nic of the members of the Green’s Farms
Agricultural Club was held under the ancient
shade trees of the late Stephen Hoyt's home-
stead lot, at New Canaan. The ofiicers and
members of the Club, with their families,
reached the Nursery grounds of the Stephen
Hoyt’s Sons on Tuesday forenoon and while
the ladies and children interested themselves
in spreading the ample lunch tables, and ex-
amining the curious and mysterious fabrics
wrought by the daughteis of Mr. Edwin Hoyt
for the New Canaan church fair of the pres—
ent week,the“men folks”traversed and tramp-
ed and examined the nearly five hundred
acres of nursery and tillable lands embracing
the important farm of Messrs James and
Edwin Hoyt. Apple, pear, peach, cherry,
and other fruit and ornamental trees engaged
and amazed the vision of the onion growers
of eastern Westport and of Southport. The
day was a delightful dhe to all concerned,
with the single exception of a runaway acci-
dent occurring to Mr. A. C. Taylor and im-
periling, though we are glad to state not
seriously injuring the occupants and carriage.
of Selectman Sherwood of Westport. All
expressed themselves highly gratified and
well filled by their visit to the Hoyt Nursery.
As no truly agricultural assemblage could be
complete withouta due press representation
we were glad to note the presence of those
experienced tillers of the soil, Editor Kirk of
the New Canaan Messenger and Editor Jones
of the Westporter. 'Our own arrival was
considerably delayed by reason of an effort
to discover material for the family pickle jar
upon a lot of thrifty Cucumber trees Ed.
Hoyt beguiled us into purchasing of him last
year, but-as our two able and experienced
Agricultural contemporaries were on hand
throughout the important session of the
Farmers’ Club, we have every reason, to be-
lieve that every tropical apple was carefully
harvested from those grand and luxuriant
Pine trees under which the lunch tables were
spread, as we were unable to discover the
remotest semblance of a pine apple remain-
ing upon any one of them and it is difficult
to believe than any one other than an Editor
would have stripped the trees with such
absolute thoroughness.
I The Band Concerts.
An outdoor concert was given on Union
Park, last Friday evening, by the Union
Band. The evening was not very favorable,

-on the Green, on Friday evening, some of
the members not being able to be present on
Wednesday evening. The following'is the
programme prepared for the occasion:

Ladies' Fair. "
The ladies connected with the New Canaan
Congregational Church, have obeen laboring
most industriously for {many months in
preparation for a grand Fair which they will
open at Raymond's Hall, Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons and evenings of the
present week. Among the indescribable maze
of fancy wrought articles of unique design
and construction, we have been permitted to
view just a few, (the handiwork of the
Misses Hoyt daughters of Edwin Hoyt,
Esq.,) which embrace: rugs, table spreads.
lambrequins, scarfs, afghans. scrap, lunch
and fancy work baskets, etc., etc, To these
very tempting arrays of the deft and taste-
ful products of the ladies neemes, is to be
added a'Supper', which is expected to more
surely command the appreciation and patro-
nage of the “horrid men.”- Quite a large
number of the Norwalk friends of the am
complished Miss Edna Hoyt, have engaged
to visit this fair, and it is to be hoped it may
be liberally sustained.

Creditablc to Secretory nine.
The following appeared as a special de-
spatch to the Evening Post .-
“Wasnixorox, Aug. 19.—Secretary Blaine
speaking with reference to the conservative.
character of his own despatches to Minister
Lowell at London, says : ‘I do nct believe it
'is right to color the statements in the slight-
est degree. It is a crime, I think, to say one
word that is not absolutely warranted by the
no technical phrases or terms. They ought
not to be used at all. They confuse and mis-
lead the peoplc for whose information they
are intended.” I .
Thevabove is so like Secretary Blaine in
its frank utterance, that we do not doubt its
entire authenticity. His dispatches to Min-
ister Lowell have been models of terse, in-
telligent and candid statement, which it.
would have greatly relieved the intense anx-
ieties of the whole nution,had the President's
physicians, more generally imitated.

ter Lowell, Monday afternoon, as follows:

The New Haven Mystery.
The latest developments of the J cnnie
Cramer tragedy at New Haven, only deepen
the mystery and difilcultly in forming any
satisfactory opinion as to a motivefor her
death. All the “‘uleories" seem to explode
like soap'bubbles, upon investigation. The-
vile purposes of the Malley’s,{in following up
this giddy, but, as is believed by those who
best know her—innocent girl, are plain and
diabolical enough, but all their devices to
compass he? ruin, antagoniso any purpose,
or desire for her death. That a brazen
courtesan should be imported from a den of
infamy. in New York to laid them in working
the moral ruin of the thoughtless girl, proves
the utter degradation and scoundrelism of
the Malley’s On the other hand—it would
seem also to show a firmer determination on
the part of Jennie Cramer to preserve hcr
virtue, than she has popularly been credited
with. But every fact, thus far brought to the
surface,rspcls the idea that the Mallcys could
have had any motive in causing her death,
but on the contrary must have desired her
to live that they might more certainly and
completely have consummated her ruin.
“Oh, if there be a doom m‘orc dread than
others, at the judgment day—
Sure it must be for him who leads a pure and
gentle girl astray;
There may be pardon for the knave,
And for the wretch who stole,
But Heaven, I think me ne’er forgets
' The murderer of a human soul."
The following strange story is told: It has
been learned that one of the gentlemen who
saw the body of the girl shortly after its
discovery was struck by the fact that the
underclothing was not disarranged and not
soiled after such experience as it was certain
the girl must have undergone. Very quietly
an investigation bearing upon this point was
instituted, and it is nearly certain that there
is now roof in the proper hands that the
uuderclxdthing the Cramer girl had on when
her body was found was not her own, but
Blanche Douglass’s. It is said a certain offi-
cer who went to New York one day this
week, went to find Jennic’s own underclo-
thing,which the Douglass girl had taken with
her to that city when she left New Haven ;
that the garments were torn. and that they
were very much stained and soiled. Should
this prove to be true—and this correspondent
has no doubt of its being true4tbe signifi-
cance and importance of the discovery will
'be appreciated by all.
mpther would have detected the change in-
stdhtly. ,
The “confession” made by Blanche has not
been given to the public, and we doubt if
'much reliance can be placed upon it. Her
trial for perjury has been indefinitely post-
poned. The examination of the Malleys has
also been put off.

ELECTRIC COMPANIES TO ENFORCE THEIR
RIGHTS.
A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the'
Gramme Electric Company was held yester-
day at the office of Mr. Alexander Taylor,
No 56 Broadway. There were present Mr.
Henry I. Hoyt, President, and Mr. William
H. Appleton, trustee, of the Fuller Electri-
cal Company; Mr. Charles R. Flint, Presi-
dent, and Mr. L. E. Curtis, Secretary, of the
United States Electric Lighting Company;
General M. D. Legget, President, and Mr. G.
W. Stockley, General Manager, of the Brush
Electric Company; Mr. William Barker,
President, and Mr. Joseph K. Skinner, Gen-I
eral Manager, of the American Electric Co.,
and Mr. Alexander Taylor, of the Jobloch-
koif Company. Mr. Henry I. Hoyt was
elected President of the Gramme Company.
Messrs. Henry I. Hoyt, M. D. Leggett and
L. E. Curtis were appointed an executive
committee, and a resolution was passed in-
structing the executive committee to take
means to ascertain all infringers of the
Gramme patent, and of all other patents
owned by the different companies composing
the association and to send notices to such
infringers and have suits brought against
them. _ -
The company has retained as counsel,
among others, General Clarence Seward, Mr.
S. J. Gordon, and Messrs. Leg on do Leggctt.
Mr. Henry B. Renwick, Pro essor Henry
Morton and Professor George F. Barker have
been retained as experts.

Benedict Arnold andMunson
Hoyt.
“In Johnny Bouquets! Walks" through
three columns of last Sunday Tribune (read
by us on Monday) coming to “Traces of
Benedict Arnolc " we . i-ead these sentences :
"Here,” at St. Johns, New Brunswick, (in
1786) Arnold took a partner named Munson
Hoyt; a Connecticut citizen, or refugee.
He built vessels and sailed them from St.
John‘s to the West Indies. His stock took
fire some time after he had been in business
and burned to the ground, and he recover-
ed considerable insurancc upon it. A
year or more afterward his old _ partner,
Hoyt, publicly accused him of setting fire to
the store. Arnold at once instituted asui
for slander, laying damages at £10,000
Among the charges in the indictment is one
that Hoyt said “his character was as black
as it could be.” Fitting his rejoinder to this
in court, Mr.-Hoyt said : “It would be im—
possible for any one to have a blacker char-
acter than Benedict Arnold." The jury re-
turned a verdict ofonly $2 or $4.

Dr. Pardee’s summer excursion in his own
carriage, which he had planned with elabo-

inglorious termination after his having been
two days out. He reached.New Canaan
withoutspccial incident but on nearing the
region of Lake Waccabuc his steed showed
such symptoms ‘ of gastric 1sturbancc as
forced the Doctor’s precipitate return. The
good Dr. is still inIdoubt whether the animal
had been given too much . green clover or
wickedly dosed with croton oil. The latter
seems the most probable, as he was but a few
miles from O-roton Lake when the alarming
irruption in 'the steed's hypogastric region
occurred. '

Fine Potatoes.
Geo. 'A. White one of the GAZETTE Office
compositors, improves his leisure, by horti-
cultural, fioral and general gardening pur-
suits, in which line he is an enthusiast . He
has raised on his little place on Spring Hill
the past season, a crop of superb “Beauty of
Hebron" potatoes. Twenty-five of these
left with us, weigh twenty pounds. This
choice potato, it will be remembered, was a
propagation of Thorburn 6‘s 00’s., of 15

the widest possible distribution as the best

of the potato, but if so. we have never seen
it. The splendid crop raised by Mr. White

exceptionally rich and strong natural soil of

Princeton theological seminary has just
received $100,009 from a lady, who does not
allow her name to be published.
This theory can hardly be true for the1
. Bdthel’s Fountain. '
Friday last was a red-letter day for Bethel.
and the thousands (whose number would
have been multiplied but for the unfavorable
weather) enjoyed the unveiling of the most
beautiful fountain east~of the Hudson River,
a fountain which as a work of art will fully
satisfy the critical and excite the admiration,
of the multitude. I
changeful and active life done a deed more
worthy or one that will cause his name to be
perpetuated and loved, the-by presenting to
his native town this beautiful and costly
work of art; a gift that excites the admira-
tion of the present, and will continue as a
memento and enduring monument to future
generations of Bethclites.
Bethel may well feel proud of its fountain,
and the improvement already madejn enlarg-
ing and grading the square in the” center in
which the fountain is placed,has transformed
an unsightly, depressed, irregular space to a'
level, shapely square, in the center of which
is inclosed Barnum’s “greatest and best show
on earth,” the fountain.
The erection of this fountain will, we are
sure, accelerate the spirit of public improve-
ment that has existed in Bethel for the past
few years, which has given them efficient
water works, (which rendered the gift of the
fountain possible.) which has caused the
grading of and curbing of many of their
streets, which may be seen in the beautifying
of their residences and grounds about 'thcm,
(all of which are making their village one of
the most enjoyable in the county.
The public exercises, which were some—
what delayed by the unpleasant weather,
were a procession comprising military, fire
department, citizens in carriages and on_foot
preceded by two full bands, which on com-
plating the line of march rested in front of
the residence of Rosco Hibbard, Esq, .where
a stage had been erected to accommodatetlie
speakers; ~
The Rev. Mr. Brown made the opening
prayer .after which, at the request of Mr.
Barnum the fountain was unveiled, followed
by music by theband, singing by the choir,
“Spacious firmamcnt on high,” from Haydn’s
selections.
- a
At the conclusion of Mr. Baruum’s ad-
,dress, the Rev. Mr. Waters, in an eloquent
speech accepted, in the name of the people,
Mr. Barnum’s munificcnt gift. More music,
and then 001. Sumner recited an original
poem which was greatly enjoyed by the
audience.
That-Bethelis‘a lively town, and'growing
livelier still, '
Is manifest in busy mart, the railway and
the mill. I' ‘
That Bethel is a lovely town, with tasteful
enterprise,
We see in features old and new, before our
gladdened eyes.
That Bethel is a famous town, for witness;
read the roll
Of natives who in peace and war have wield-
ed vast control.
lIer Ferry, Hickock, Seeley, for mercinstan. ,
ces recall, -
But now we toast one other, most distinguish-
ed of them all.
I mean it when I say it; you’ve had scholars
and divines.
And quota of such heroes as should live in
. liv1ng lines;
But he is known the widest, and will hold
the longest fame, .
Whom Bethel cradled, reared and schooled,
and Bauxmu is his name.
That fame will not be—as some think—mere
record as a showman,—
But rather that midst Romans, he’s himself
a very Roman. ‘
To the world amusement, men will always
come and go,
But will they be what Barnum is—hlmself
the “greatest show i"
With orators, and writers, and, lawgivers of
his day, -
Our friend can challenge rivalship, for larg-
est praise and pay.
Why, shouldhc happen to be“short" in New
World or the old,
He’d make a single speech, and have his
pockets crammed with gold.
Now that’s a thing, I reckon,whlch a precious
few could do.
There must be merits in a man to push such
matters thrOugh,
And wondrous study; culture observation,
nerve and labor, ‘ ' <
To yield this name and influence to this your
old-time neighbor.
He seems at least an octagon, and can display
at pleasure ,
At least eight sides to calculate, ,,before you
get his measure.
Compute them one by one one, ye croaking
critics as ye'will,‘ . . .
In each and all, you’ll ascertain that Barnum
fills the bill. ‘ '
I’ve read and smiled, to think what
scrapes he must have had
Right here in Bethel, till the “gods folk”
consigned him to the bad.
I know how somewhat later, and in more
conspicuous sphere, -
He played some part with caustic pen, till
Law “got on it’s car.”
boyish
But Justice shortly found its way through
. meshes of the Law, .
And Bethel hailed our friend’s release from
thraldom with splat.
Since then, through divers ups and downs,
he has pursued his way, .
And with peculiar circumstance and pride, is
.. here today. '
Appropriate gift for him unto his native town
to g1ve,
Not dead, nor mutc,-but destined, when him-
self is dcad, to live,
And like a benediction, with a baptism to
dispense
This token of his olden love, and large bc—
nevolence! - ' v
This beauteous fountain in your midst; how
long will it relate
flow as his cohorts sped from town to town,
from State to State—
As herald of a righteous cause, seemed part
of his affair
To bid slaved manhood break its chains, to
bid the youth beware !
Memorial more appropriate, how could he
_ hope to raise, -
iflnle living in his plentitude of le'ngtheficd,
honored days i’ *
Men build their own best monuments, and
.. such are always found
Where they confrom the daily gaze; not in
the burial ground. '
The man of benefactions, is he man who shall
survive,
And while contemporaries die, shall keep
himself alive
In grateful hearts of those who yct shall tread
life’s transient stage,
And make his name a memory from age to
latest age.
Here, round this fountain, many a year, on
many it lasts] day, ,
ct glad assembles congregate, and children
sport and play.
Let eye and car be. gratified, and life feel
keener zest,
And energy new vigor find, and weariness a
res .
And every day through all the year, midst
green and sere and snow,
Symbolical of purity, let crystal waters flow,
Asplrlng sweetly heavenward; then gently
dropping down,
The glad earth with new freshness and ex—
uberance to crown.
And Iletftkis vocal monument remind, no less
0 er,—
That Bethel maid, of whom the youthful
swalu was worshipper—
Who clung to him through long, long years,
. w1th wifcly love and cheer.—
Wlthout whose gentle aid mayhap, we had
not thus been here.
What more? No more : -thc harp, the tongue
are weak to sing or say -
What thls fair fabric shall repeat, with bless-
iugs day by day.
God bless you all; and after you your rising
. sons and daughters. .
Tlll ye behold the Fount, in pastures green,
by the still waters.
Professor Northrop then made a short ad-
dress which Was pointed and received with
much favor. After'musicby' the band the
meeting adjourned to the town hall where a
collation of ' the very best kind was served.
The decorations on the line of march, and
adjoining Fountain square, were numerous
and tasteful, and the houses all about were
thrown open to shelter the ladies and children
from the storm.

New Publications.
lIoughton, Miiiiin'da Co. have recently issu-
ed a book from the pen of that able and can-
did representative of American scholarship,
Richard Grant White, entitled “England,~
Without and Within.” The subject matter
of this book previously appeared in a series
of contributions to the Atlantic Monthly.
They have been carefully revised for their
P- T' Barnum has never during his long, Pprescnt more enduring form, and comprise a
book worthy a place upon every family
table and most especially upon the shelves
of every library. There is no attempt at
“smart" writing or ambitious romancing, but
an honest purpose to give the reader a more
intelligent understanding of the genuine
feature'of customs and people of the mother
‘country. As the author aptly says himself:
“It is not a book of travel but the story of a
.semi‘critical journey through various parts
of ,England, in which, what the writer
thought and felt is told, quite as much as
what he saw.” There is no country other
than our own, of which we Americans
should know so much as of “our old home,”
as Hawthorne styles it, and yet it is one of
the most difilcult of countries to truly and
intelligently know. The land from whence
we sprang, only a few ages ago, the land of
Shakespeare, Milton. Bunyan and Dickens,
the land of our common origin, tongue and
literature, surely we cannot make ourselves
too familiar with. Here in Norwalk we
have three small but growling public libra—
nics, in all of these Grant White's book
should find a welcome place.

The North American Review for September
opens with a profoundly philosophical article
on “The Church, the State, and the School,”
by Prof. William T. Harris. M. J. Savage
treats of “Natural Ethics,” showing that the
principles of morality are rooted in man’s
nature, and are the products of evolution;
consequently, that they are not“ affected by
the vicissitudes of dogma or religious creeds.
The Hon. John A. Kasson gives a history of

“The Decay of New England Thought,” by
the Rev. Julius H. Ward; “Ghost Seeing,”

cle is a scathing criticism of J eii‘crson Davis's
recently published historical memoir. Fifty

The Great Inter—Ocean Show.
This monster amusement enterprise which
is to exhibit at Norwalk, on Wednesday the
31st day of Aug., although now only about‘3
years old, and comparatively a new candidate
for public patronage, has already acquired an
enviable position in the show world, and a
reputation for square and honest dealing that
would be well for some of its older rivals to
imitate. Messrs. Batcheller and Doris, Pro—
prietors of The Great Inter-Ocean are gen-
tlcmen who have been ' connected with the
leading tented exhibitions for the past quarter
of a century, and from this great experience
as amusement caterers are rarely qualified to
organize and equip an exhibition calculated
to give the greatest satisfaction. . -
Judging from the numerous press notices
we have seen in the leading journals through
out the country, people must havefairlggone
wild over the show. Batcheller and Doris
have always been noted for possessing exclu-
sive and novel attractions, not to be seen in
any other show. Among the exclusive feat-
ures they advertise and positively exhibit
this season The Egyptian Bovalapus, the
only specimen exhibited anywhere on Earth ;
this is a very rare animal, and was captured
in’ Mid-Ocean, off the Coast of Alexandria,
Egypt, about eight months ago, and imme-
diately purchased by Batcheller and Doris’
agent and shipped to New York where it ar—
rived last December. No one should fail to
inspect this wonderful monster of the deep.
Another novelty is Zazel, the Human Can—4
non Ball, who is fired from a monster 100
pound sea coast mortar, 75 feet into mid-air
and alights upon a (slender cob-web wire,
where she walks, runs and dances, blindfold-
ed aud her feet encased in sacks. This daring
and beautiful girl has been the reigning sen-
sation of Paris and London, for the past two
years, and was secured expressly for Batchel-
ler and Doris. Words fail to describe her
act; it is beyond all parallel. In addltlon to
these novelties they have the only group of
genuine Zulus in America, Prince-Satsuma's
Troupe of Royal Japanese. A Genuine Band
of Savage Sioux Warriors, A Troupe of Im-
ported Stallions, and more performing DIens
of Animals than any other show travelling.
The Grand Double Circus Company em-
bracesthe leading talent of two Continents.
None but bareback riding is allowed, and
every act in the ring will be the best in its
particular line. The monster free street de~
monstration at 9 A. M., daily, will be of_the
most gorgeous description and totally eclipse
all previous ei‘r'orts ever made in that direction.
Our country friends should come in ‘early.
A young alligator two feet and one-half in
length was captured in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, last week. How it came there is a
mystery. Some think it was hatched there,
as southern ships sometimes unload sand
there,and an alligators eggwas recently found
in the sand.
State Agricultural Society. .
The twelfth annual exhibition of the State
Agricultural society will be held at Mcriden
September 20th, 21st,. 22nd and 23d. It
promises from the preparations that the oili-
cers are making to be a fine exhibition of
agricultural and industrial products. No.
finer opportunity has been offered in the
to farmers :to exhibit their products and
stock. The fair will be worth witnessing by
our residents, as the exhibition will be large
and varied. There will be trotting at
Mcriden Park daily. Bear the dates in mind
and make a visit to Mcriden during the pro-
gress of the state fair. Entries for speed close

horses, sheep and swine must be made on or

Pinkerton's detectives made an important
arrest last'wcck in the person of Gen. Morton,
a scoundrel with many aliases. He is the
husband of ten ,or a dozen wives,.a forger,
counterfeiter, etc. Every time he married a
wife he managed to work off a forng check
or to borrow money from some of their
relatives. He married a widow in New
Jersey and a llmillcn in Virginia, about the
same time, and kept two honeymoons at
once, first traveling with one and then the
other, making plausible excuses for absences.
His forgerics finally brought about his ar—
rest. '
