Our President.
T310 Present condition of the President
fills all hearts with the profoundest solici-
tude and apprehension. He had another
chill Sunday evening, and although of short—
.er duration than the rigor of Saturday, his
pulse rose to 140 and his strength is very per-.
ceptibly failing. While there is life there is
hope, yet the probabilities of his death, at
this writing, seem to overbalance the pros-—
peels for his recovery, May the Great and
Good Father of nations and of individuals,
hear the prayers of his saints and heal his
servant, our idolized Chief Ruler, for in this
dark hour, all human agencies seem of no
avail.
ALARMING.
LATEST.
While there is no official statement that
the President is failing, there seems to be a
very general feeling of despair and gloom
settling over the people because there is no
decided change for the better. We can only
hope and pray that the morning light Will
usher in a brighter and better day. ‘
The condition of the President this (Mou—
day) afternoon is very dangerous. The last
official bulletin is as follows : ,
ELBERON, N. J ., Sept. 19.—-12:30 P. M.—
The chill from which the President was and -
ering at the time the morning bulletin was
issued lasted about fifteen minutes, .and
was followed by a febrile rise of tempera-
ture and sweating, He has slept much of
the time, but his general condition has not
materially changed.
Temperature 98.2; pulse, 104; respira-
tion, 20.

Editorial Letter.
ELBERON, N. J :, Sept. 16, 1881.
Drum Guerra—We reached, last Tues-
day, this delightful summer resort, where
the nation’s patient lies battling for life with
all the fortitude of his heroic nature, in an
hour from Liberty street, N. Y., via the New
Jersey Central Railroad. Calling at once
upon the President’s patient, anxious and
indefatiguable secretary, J. Stanley Brown,
he electrified us by the announcement that
the President for the first time since his
injury was “sitting up." This was soon
qualified by the further explanation that it
could hardly be called “setting'up” as it was
in fact only a removal from his bed to his
reclining chair, with his head just a little
elevated so he could restfully look out upon
the shimmering ocean. The President’s
cottage is quite near the shore and a few
rods distant is the cottage of Mr. Brown and
his necessary clerical assififi'iits. A military
guard paces about the cottages to keep off
intruders and to maintain the necessary quiet
of the place. The hotel is separated from
the cottages by a'winding read only, and the
improvised railway upon which the Presi-
dent’s suffering body was borne, passes to
' the close rear of the Francklyn cottage.
The President's chamber is on the second
story front and has an outside balcony
shaded by an awning. His position is such
that he can see from his bed the rolling ocean
and the white winged sails of the vessels as
they pass up and down the coast. Attorney
General MacVeagh ’was the only cabinet
minister in attendance. Secretary Lincoln
had gone to Rye Beach to join his family,
Secretaries Windom and Hunt and P. M.
Gen. James had left for the White Moun-
tains, and Secretary Blaine had gone to his
home in Augusta, and all in quest of much
needed rest and recuperation.
Dr. Hamilton were in attendance upon the
President, and Dr. Boynton, the Garfield
family physician in Ohio, was also on hand
to assist as watcher and nurse. One strange
sight greeted our eyes in the grand army of
Washington correspondents, whose faces
were as familiar as household members and
who have left the capital and followed the
stricken President hither to give to their
respective journals the facts or fictions.
We trust those "brethren of the press” do
not lunch regularly at the “Elberon," for
judging by our own experience they would
soon be ruined,in stomachfiand estate. The
“Elberon” hostlery impressed usas being the
worst fraud we ever encountered in the way
, of a summer resort.
Tuesday and Wednesday were encouraging
days and everyione about the place seemed
to catch a new inspiratifii, of hopefulness
and faith in the President’s recovery. Secre-
tary Brown assured us he had not permitted
himself to think otherwise than that! he
would ultimately get well, but he continued.
the President is so very weak and so utterly
prostratcd it will be a very long, slow and
tedious road to recovery. Remarking to him
on our Tuesday’s night visit that at that very
hour the Godly people of little Connecticut
were assembled in their various houses of
worship and imploring the Omnipotent One
to spare the life of‘our mutual friend, he
reverently and ,‘impressivel'y said, “Yes, the
good people of the nation, of every race and
creed, are everywhere praying for him.”
True,very true, and sympathy and solicitudc
for him is as wide as the world. The manly
way in which he has borne his undeserved
sufferings has been to all the nations of the
earth, that “touch of nature which makes
the whole world kin." Such universal sor-
row was never before felt for human being.
Thursday the conditions of the President
were, like the weather, quite threatening.
Indeed, the cold east wind and atmospheric
disturbances may have affected the patient
in ways as yet unknown even to his highly
scientific physicians. The fact was that not
only did his regular weekly febrile rise and
relapse occur,—(which has led so many
eminent doctors to the conclusion that he has
Washington malarial poison in his system as
well as blood poisoning)—but he was found
to be unusually depressed in spirits. That
there are latent and occult influences in the '
air about us affecting the sensitive brain we
cannot doubt, and from some cause not fully
explained in the bulletin and probably
not clearly understood by his physicians, the
President suffered a “‘set-baek" during
Thursday and Friday's storm.
Fascinated by the shore-line cottage scene.
ry,we followed the New Jersey Central down
through Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Sea Girt
and Squau to Point Pleasant, the railroad’s
present terminus. Thence returning we
took the New Jersey Southern at the Long
Branch depot and traversed the Atlantic
coast, down through pine groves,oak barrens,
whortlebcrry plains and white sand hills to
Barnegat. Here we found a primitive but
very comfortable hostlery, the "Clarence
House," kept by George Pittman, and which
is a popular headquarters for hunting and
fishing parties from New York and Phildel-
phia. The bluefish had just began to run
into the bay in large numbers andthe native
skippers were in the full tide of piscatorial
success, one fisherman hauling in fifty and
several others more than they could carry
from their boats to their cabins. For the
next month or six weeks the fishing and
hunting will be good, and any one who has
'the time and taste for such sports cannot do
better than visit old Barnegnt. The light
house in the outci‘ bay is an object of special
interst as its light can be seen twenty miles
seaward and landward. Barnegat is a plain,
old—fashioned hamlet with but few attempts
at the modern and architecturally novel
summer cottages Such as are seen in all the
ocean shore towns to the northward, but for
a quiet, healthy and economical place to
spend a summer vacation,whcre good bathing
and boating and fishing are desired, it has no
superior within the same few hours of New
York. The Southern Railroad extends
.twelve miles further down the coast to
Tuckertown, and it is said to be in contem—
plation another year to complete the shore
line of road from Jersey City to Cape May.
i this be done it will not be many years
' “shall”
Dr. Bliss and'
before there will be a continuous line of
summer cottage villages along the Atlantic
coast from Long Branch to Cape May, thus
making thrifty little New Jersey more than
‘ever the bed chamber of New York and
Philadelphia. ’
At every station anxious groups were
gathered about the telegraph window in
quest of news concerning the President’s
condition and the most tender and affection-
ate expressions of sympathy were heard
from the simplest rusties as well a the
cultured summer visitor. We overheard one
coarse looking man remark as he passed
away from the station bulletin from Elberon,
“I didn’t vote for him, but if God lets us
both live I shall do it next time,” and there
was. a determined emphasis on his word
which showed the countryman
meant all he said.
The chief topic of remark after the Presi—
dent was the attempt of the guardsman to
shoot Guiteau. On evtry hand the expres-
sion seemed to be that Mason ought to be
severely punished for the gross breach of
discipline, especially for not hitting the cow-
ardly culprit. The native Jerseymen are
greatly elated over the peculiar provisions
of their criminal law, under which any per-
son attempting an assault upon another
within the State and the assaulted party dies
on the high seas or in any other state or na-
tion, the culprit. can be tried for murder.
By another section, any one attempting the
life of another outside the state and the
wounded party removes into and dies in the
state, assailant may be tried fcr murder and
on conviction hung, the same as in most
other states, when the parties are both within
its limits and one dies immediately after the
assault. In the possible event of the Presi-
dent's death while at Elberon, the J erseymen
seems to rely upon this provision of their
law for all the solace there can be found in a
,trial and execution of the sneaking craven
wretch whose dastardly crime has overwelm-
ed the nation in such sorrow and team.
As ever,

The Town Election.
The annual town election occurs on Mon-
day, October 3d; The Republican caucus
for the domination of candidates will be held
on Friday evening of neat week.
“New voters" are not admitted until after
the Town election. As the law now is only
those can vote at the Town clectiou whose
names'were on the list last perfected—the
list made up for the Presidential election last
ycar,-excspting' those who vote on property
qualification. .‘The law ought to be changed.

The State Fair.
This Fair opens today, at Meriden, and
continues through Friday.
m
Ridgefield Fair.
The Annual Town Fair is to be held this
week. The general programme is much the
same as in previous years. We presume that
Norwalk will be largely represented as usual.
B.
Art Manors.
We are informed the ladies interested in
getting up the Fair in aid of the fund for
improving the First Congregational church,
have some very fine and unusually attractive
exhibits for their art tables. An enthusiastic
account has been given us of the genuine
merits of and the artistic skill expended on
these articles which must be seen to be
appreciated and purchased. We trust
the ladies will meet with a liberal apprecia-
tion of their arduous and most worthy ef—
forts.

Danger of a. Water Famine.
Notwithstanding the warning given by Mr.
Parker of the low state of the reservoirs and
his very civil request to the citizens of the
borough to be sparing in their use of the
water, some continue to use it in. watering
the streets and their grounds as freely as
heretofore. , Perhaps Mr. Parker’s notice was
not seen by 'such ; perhaps they are incredu-
lous; perhaps—well, it is best to be charit-
able in judging and not to suspect a selfish-
ness that disregards the common welfare.
City Items.

ted Councilman Charles F. Hallock with

Every other man in the city is spoken of
as a candidate for mayor. . The other men,
with few exceptions, are willing to look after
town affairs.
The City Registers are at work on their
Registry Lists. Names to be added or taken
from the list must be handed to the City
clerk before next Monday evening. The city
election takes place on the same day as the'

Remember the Fair to be held by the
Ladies of fhe Congregational church, at
Lockwood’s Hall, this week. The ladigs
have been making preparations for a long
time, and we doubt not will provide an en-
icrtainment of more than usual interest.
The American Institute Fair opened last
week. President Ely’sppening speech will
be found on our first page. There have been
more than the usual number of applicants for
space this year. Arbuckle’s 9th Regiment
Band has been engaged, and the Hall will be
illuminated evenings by the Brush Electric
Light.

Mr. Westcndorf failed to fulfill his con—
tract to provide amusements at the Fair. He
claimed to have been unable to secure suita-
ble performers. At the Opera House 'his
" Ghost Mystery” so largely advertised, was
like Artemas W ard’s Ghost lecture,—the
ghost of a lccture,—-the Ghost part being
more of an “illusion" than a "mystery.” He
drew fair houses the first We nights. but
failcd'to take enough during the week to pay
running expenses.

The Boston Exhibition.
The New England Manufacturers’ and
Mechanics’ Institute Exhibition in Boston is
contributed to by over one thousand exhibi-
tors from all parts of New England, com-
prisIug nearly every branch of manufactures,
many of them in active operation, showing
methods of making boots and shoes by ma-
chinery. pottery, glass manufactory, looms
for weaving, etc. It is estimated that there
are in all ten acres of shops and factories.
At night this exhibition is lighted by thirty
electric lights, and three thousand gas
burners.

Prayers for the President.
In accordance with the spirit of the proc—
lamation of Gov. Bigelow, business was very
generally suspended throughout the town on
Tuesday morning last between the hours of
ten and twelve o’clock. Services were held
at St. Paul’s church both morning and after-
noon. The Baptist, Methodist and Congre—
gatioual churches in the Borough united in
holding services at the Second M. E. church.
Rev. Mr. Hamilton presided. Rev. Mr.
Wing read selections appropriate to the sol-
emn occasion. The choir, composed of
,members of the three church choirs, with
Mr. Gibson at the instrument; next rendered
the anthem “God save our President.” Rev.
S. B. S. Bisscll followed with a few earnest
remarks, closing with prayer, and prayers
were offered by Rev. Moses Hill, Rev. Dr.
Osborn and Prof. Johnston. Rev. Mr.
Hamilton made an address and the services
closed with prayer by Rev. Mr. Wing. The
attendance-was quite large, and a spirit of
earnest devotion pervaded the meeting.

Don’t fail to attend this evening and to-
morrow afternoon and evening. The ladies
will exhibit many beautiful and useful pro-

Mrs. Aaron J elliff who received a coucus-

On Wednesday last, two thieves played a
rather sharp game at the Danbury &. Norwalk
Railroad depot, and succeeded in making
good their escape after stealing from $38 to
$40 from the ticket office. Just as the down
train whistled, ticket agent Rogers sold two
tickets to New York to two men, then hur-
riedly closed his office and rushed down
stairs to attend to his duties on the platform.
He noticed that the men failed to get on the
train, and when he returned to his office he
found the till had been robbed. It seems
that the men had been hanging around the
depot for an hour or more, probably watch-
ing for a chance to rob the office. When he
went down stairs Mr. Rogers neglected to
close his window, thinking the till far enough
away to be perfectly safe. No one was in
the waiting room at the time, and it is sup.
posed that one “boosted” the other far enough
into the window to enable .him to reach the
money. As they took nothing but bills it is
evident that the robbery was hurriedly per:
formed.

On Saturday aftcenoou last} between five
and six o’clock, there was a rumpus ou the
east side of the Bridge, followed by the
gathering of a large crowd. The two “Rice
boys,” noted as dangerous and desperate
characters, were together up :Main street
when one of_them struck a man named
Wardwell. Officer Foster, who was on as
day police, was soon on hand, but the Rice
boys had gone to Gregory’s stables, where
they secured a hatchet and prepared them-
selves to resist arrest. A crowd of people
' followed. “to see the fun," for many thought
the police would not take them. Mr. Foster
is known as a plucky ofiicer, but would
probably have not been able to secure them
unassisted. Fortunately Chief Sullivan and
Officer DeForest. of the night force, heard of
the affair, and at once started foi- the scene
of expected conflict and possible slaugbtcs
They marched up with quick, firm step, ev-
idently meaning business. The crowd part—
ed to let them pass, and then waited to see
the fur fly. They went to the stables. and
the three ofiicers at once re-appeared with
the prisoners walking quietly by their sides.
They went before Justice Selleck, and then
to the lock—up where they were afterwards
disorderly and tried to destroy whatever they
could lay their hands on. The crowd finely
dispersed apparentl'y disgusted to find that
no policemen were to be butchered and not
even 9. Rice boy shot or knocked down.
Rev. E. A. Larrabee, rector of St. Paul’s
church, Springfield, 11]., prints a small paper
called the “Parish Register." In the Sep-
tember issue he tells his people of the enjoy-
ments experienced during his vacation
spent at Rye Beach, and concludes with the
following good words for his assistant, Rev.
Ralph Hoyt, recently located here:— , .
“But whatever pleasure or benefit has been
derived has been owing in no small degree to
the confidence he was enabled to feel that the
parish would not suffer in his absence. A
vacation bought at the cost of suspension of
the ordiiiary parochial ministratious would
be obtained at a price which would leave one
little heart for its enjoyment. There would
be small comfort in returning strengthened
and refreshed for parish duties, if the priest
were to find on his return that the parish had
suffered quite as much as he had been bene-
fitted. It is a great happiness, therefore, to
find that so far from there being any letting,
down in energies of the parish, they have,
under the vigorous supervision of the Rev.
Mr. Hoyt, been more than sustained. The
Sunday congregations, notwithstanding the
warm weather, have been unusually good,
and not only have the Sunday and day servi-
ces been maintai d, but the rector finds that
much hard and ling work besides has been
done both in the parish and the missions.
Under such circumstances, there is nothing
to mar the happiness of his return, and after
a vacation which has been full of pleasure,he
finds, in getting back to the parish, the very
The Register also contains the following
item:—
“We are indebted to the Rev. Mr. Hoyt
for the happy idea of establishing a weekly
parish reception. The plan has our hearty
approval. We beg leave to call the attention
of the parish to the fact that the clergy will
be at home on Wednesday evenings, and ask
of all that they will frequently give us the
pleasure of welcoming them to the rectory."

The managers of the Fairfield County Fair
seem to have staked their success this season
on hen incubators. One was advertised as
the chief attraction. Well, fair managers
must have something to cackle about—Dan-
bury News. ,
He expects to take his.
THE FAIR.
Another Annual Fair has come and gone,
with its attendant crowds of visitors, exhibi-
tors, liorscmcn,showmen, &c., and as is usual
with each and every one, this has been duly
pronounced more successful than its prede-
cessors. '
In the matter of attendance it is fair to say
that the number in attendance has exceeded
any former year, therefore, the pecuniary
success of the Fair is assured. Tuesday and
Wednesday were comparatively light days,
but Thursday—the day of Governor Bigo-
low's visit—the crowd was immense and the
receipts were in excess of any previous day
of any year; Friday was also a good day,
there being quite a large attendance.
The most noticeable ayl best improvement
made on the grounds or building for some
years past, was the new and commodious
grand stand, erected this fall which reflects
much credit upon the judgment and sagncity
of the management in going to such an ex-
pense, as, notwithstanding the clouds of dust
waited there by the easterly winds which
prevailed throughout twentirc week it was
well occupied by those wanting to see the
races, and it has at the very outset proved a
pecuniary success, the receipts from it this
first season anLountiug to about one-third of
its entire cost.
The exhibition proper was not near as large
or full this year as in some previous years,
but the quality made up in a large measure
for the lack of quantity. Tlnzvegetablcsaud
fruit displays were much smaller than usual,
and but for the exhibition of Hon. Oliver
Hoyt’s veteran 1gardener and the Fair‘s old
stand-by, John you, the garden vegetables
would have been slim indeed, while that of
hot house grapes would have been without
exhibit. Then of fruits, Stephen Hoyt’s
'Sons and the Wakemaus were all that saved
. that department from being a failure.
In fioriculturc the show was full and good ;
the principal exhibitors being Peter Guigue
of Norwalk, and E. B. Jennings of South-
port.
The ladies, as usual, made their depart-
ment interesting and showy with fine and
elaborate specimens of their handiwork, in
all manner of goods, in silk, needlework,
patchwork, painting, drawing, 8.50., and the
housewives excelled with specimens of
tempting cake, bread, butter, preserves,
honey, &c-; in fact all pertaining to the La—
dies’ Department were well represented and
were all very creditable.
In manufacturing on the premises, DeKlyn
and Fred Mead each had a force in active
operation making and supplying fine confec-
tionery to crowds constantly thronging about
their stands.
In the mercantile display, A. H. Hoyt &
Co. exhibited cases of boots and shoes; P.
H. Dwyer and C. Buckingham exhibited har-
nesses and horse furniture; the Read Carpet
Co. had a handsome exhibit of th'r carpets;
Sherwood do Go. bad cases of clothing and
gent’s furnishing goods from their store, also
organs and sewing machines; the Combine-
tion Clothing Co. had a stand of clothing;
Loomis of Bridgeport, had an exhibition of
pianos, organs, the ; Rice 81. Haulenbeck had
a large exhibition of fancy wood-work, house-
hold articles. &c., of their own manufacture,
and sewing'machines were exhibited from all
the leading companies.
The poultry department had a good show
and attracted many visitors. '
The show outside of agricultural imple-
ments was larger and better than the average
and appears to be growing in attractiveness
each year. ‘
In cattle, the blooded stock made a rare
and fine exhibition, but the native working
oxen, etc. were conspicuous for their absence.
The trotting appeared to be the main card
of the Fair this year; it was very good on
each day and appeared to give general satis-
faction. Most of the races were warmly and
fairly contested and were participated in by
good horses. The running races were espec-
ially attractive.-
In the exhibition or four-year-old colts, the
colt entered by Harry Balcom is both stylish
and fast, and liable to make a second Hattie
Woodward, with proper training.
In the four-minutg county horse contest,
Captain Jenks took first money, Mischief,
second, and Colonel, third.
Wednesday, in the three-minute class,Lady
Scudd got first place, Nannie Johnson, sec—
ond, and Daisy Pearsall, third ; best time,
2:38}. ‘
In the 2:40 class, Lew Tallman took first
place, Patchcn Maid, attend, and Dave
Young, third; best time, 2:33%.
On Thursday, in the 2:23 class, M. R. won
the first, Daisy Brown, second, and Alice
Lane, third; best time, 2:33}. .
The three-minute class to road wagon was
won by Captain Jenks first, Daisy Pearsall,
second.
In the flat running race Kate Long was
first and Soda second. .
Friday, the 2:50 class was won by Lew
Tallman, with Lady Scudd second and Nan-
nie Johnson third; best time, 2:36;}.
In class 2:35 Sam took first place, Alice
Lane, second, and Royal Knox, third; best
time, 2:35. .
In the hurdle race Kate Long was first.
The Wheeler 87 Wilson Band discoursed
excellent music on the Grand Stand, on
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, and
also gave pleasing first-class concerts in the.
main building on each of those evenings.
The Danbury «‘3: Norwalk Railroad carried
an immense throng of people to and fro, and
without any accident happening to a single
person.
There was, as usual, many pickpockcts
present and some considerable rowdyism,but
the police were efficient and ever present,
and preserved fair order throughout and took
in some of the piekpockets.
. The hatching machine exhibited by Mr.
Bulkley was of great interest and well worthy
of inspection. -
Probably no man since the organization of
the Fair has made so many continuous and
excellent exhibits as has Mr. John Ryan of
Stamford,jthe gardener of Hon. Oliver Hoyt.
For many years he has been one of the lar—
gest exhibitors of Garden Vegetables and Hbt
house Grapes, and has almost invariably taken
the highest premiums offered by the Society.
This year his show of - Grapes has been the
finest of any he ever made, and his Vegeta—
bles, as usual, were unsurpassed, among these
were mammoth Melons, Pumpkins,Squashes
Egg Plants, Celery, &c., Joe. , We don’t see
ow the Fair could possibly have done with-
out the aid of the veteran John this season.
The liquor sold on the grounds seems to
have been of an exhilarating nature. and to
have been in brisk. demand. Several rows
occurred, and rumor has it that one or two
men were seriously beaten. A man said to
be named Murphy, of Greenfield Hill, was
set upon Thursday afternoon and badly
beaten, on the grounds. , It is, reported that
he has ‘since died from the effects of his
injuries, but. we have not been able to verify
the statement, and think 'it‘must be untrue.
We do not hear of any person being held for
that assault or any other. Perhaps the
Bridgeport papers may be' able to state what
their police did with the offenders. ’
One of the cur' siti'es on view at the
Fair, showing wha boy can do if he has
inclination and improves opportunity, was a
canvass boat fourteen feet long with oak
ribs and weighing less than one hundred
pounds. It was built by 9. Norwalk boy,
Robert G. son of Mr. Levi C. Hanford, and
had it come from the hands of an adept,
would have been a credit to him. Continu-
ance and art are displayed in the work. A
similar boat by Mr. Hanford has attracted
attention this summer among the breakers at
Ocean .Grove, N. ‘ J. Mr. Hanford’s next
boat, which he intends putting together next
winter is to weigh only fifty pounds, and be
as staunch in all respects as the one describ-
ed.
Mr. J. F. Jennings, manager of the
Bridgeport branch of C. M. Loomis’ New
Haven Temple of Music, is entitled to special
praise for the number and excellence of
musical instruments placed on view by him.
His, is strictly a Fairfield County institution
and as such receives the credit due. Two
upright pianos and three organs comprised
his exhibit and each instrument was a marvel
in its way, and attracted attention through
Mr. Halscy’s manipulation of the keys.
The event of the Fair and of the week
was the visit of Governor Bigelow and Staff
on Thursday. The Governor arrived at the
Adams House at about noon where he was
.called upon and welcomed by a large number
of our citizens. At 12:30 our two military
companies, D and F, headed by the Wheeler
& Wilson Band, escorted him to the Fair
Grounds, where he was taken in charge by
President Wheeler and entertained with a
collation iu the president’s tent. He re-
ceived a crowd of callers hero for some time
and spent the whole afternoon in and about
the fair. He was accompanied by Licut
Govfl Bulkelcy, Gena. Gregory, Ford, Asst-
Adj-Gen.Fox, and several members of the
staff. The Governor and Lieut-Governor
were very warmly greeted and made a try
favorable impression on all callers.
Stephen Hoyt’s Sons exhibited several
bushels of the new variety of potatoes known
as the “White Elephant." They are immense
in size—even larger than the Beauty of
Hebron,—long in shape, of fine appearance,
and excellent quality. They are remarkably
prolific. From one barrel of seed the Hoyt’s
raised one hundred and fifty bushels of po-
tatoes.
The elegant Landau drawn by four splen.
did roan horses used on Thursday last for
the Governor, was from the stables of Wm.
E. Darin, and we are proud to believe that
the turn-out could not be excelled if equalled
by any other town in the State.
The official list of premiums awarded by
the various committees will be found coni-
plcte on our fourth page today.
- P. S.—We understand that the total rc—
ceipts this season will foot up about $4,500,
which is.$500 less than last year. Up to Fri-
day morning tbo receipts had been in excess
of last year, but the attendance on Friday
was not so large as on same day, last season.

for the fact that a colony of pimples on her

Worth Remembering.
General Butler, who is often maliciously
or caviously assailed or interfered with, is
fond of quoting the following pungent sen-
timent :— "
“Time at last sets all things even.
Andif we do but watch the hour
There never yet was human power
Which could evade, if unforgivcn,
- The patient search and vigil long
or him who treasures up a wrong.

Obituary.
GEN. A. E. BURNSIDE.
General Ambrose E. Burnside died very
suddenly at his home in Bristol, R. 1., on
Tuesday last, of disease of the heart. The
Generalhad been in precarious health for
some time past, but probably had little
thought of so sudden or fatal a termination
of his difficulty. During the last winter’s
session of the Senate he had frequent spells
of illness which were generally supposed to
be the natural results of his severe army ex-
periences. But his course here below was
sooner to terminate than any ' one had
supposed. We shall never forget our first
interview with him after his disastrous
attack upon Lee’s forces entrenched as they
were behind the Gibraltcr—breastworks at
Fredericksburg. He was overwhelmed with
grief and self-condemnation at the fruitless
loss of life and suffering, although his plan
of attack had met the approval 0‘.” his war
council. Such generous and unselfish as-
su‘inptiou of all the blame of the disaster we
never saw equaled during our protracted
army experience. Everyone else was far
more tolerant of his misfortune than he was
himself. Probably he was the only general
officer in the whole army who did not either
crave or work for promotion. Of him it
might truly be said, his patriotism was of
that high order he was willing to do his best
either as major general, a lieutenant or even
a private. His generous, noble, loving dis-
position and nature mmlc him the idol of his
command. Officers and men alike adored
“Old Birney,” as they loved to call him
when speaking of him. No general was
placed in so many different and difficult
places during the war. President Lincoln
once remarked to the writer that General
Burnside was one of the very few army
commanders who was always ready and
willing to rush forward and fill any gaps or
cope with any unexpected emergency,
however difiicult or desperate it might be.
The old hero’s army life is a part of the
imperishable history of the war, and his
pure and unselfish patriotism vu‘ll shine
brighter and be more reverently cherished
as the years roll by.
As a senator, the General, though making
no pretentious to great statesmanship or any‘
of the graces of an orator, was always re-
spected in that body as a man of sound
judgment and always won the respect and
frequently convinced the judgment of his
fellow members by his honest simplicity and
practical wisdom. Brave as a lion and a
man no menace could cower, yet;lhis heart
was as kind and loving as a mother’s, and
his sympathies as generous and' as wide as
thc,world. His heart and his purse were
always bestowed with lavish liberality
whenever invoked. He has fallen asleep in
the maturity of his fame and of 'his
manhood. To all those who knew him and
shared his kindly regard, the feeling will
come that the good man, the true friend is
last to us forever and we shall not look upon
hislike again. But '
“Nay. the lost life is saved. He is no: dead
Who in his record, still the earth shall tread
With God’s clear aureole shining round his head.”
Immediately after the announcement of the
death of General Burnside, which occurred
at Bristol, R. I., on Tuesday last, the flag of
the “Burnside Guards,” D company, was
displayed at half-mast from their armory.
The company was organized in 1862.——-Re—

Otis R. Pickett died in New Haven, last
Thursday. He was connected atdiffcrent
times with the Bridgeport Former, New
Haven Union, and several other eastern jour-
nals as reporter. editorial writer, etc. He
came to Norwalk several years since, and
while here edited the Democrat for a time,
and started several other papers which had
but brief existence.
Death of Mrs. N. P. Talcott.
The. death of Mrs. Judith W., widow of
Nathaniel P. Talcott, which occurred at her
residence on South street in this town, Mon-
day, removes a lady long well known and
honored in northern Berkshire. Mrs Talcott
was born at Williamstown in 1802, being a
daughter of Gershom Bulkley, a prominent
citizen of that town. While quite young she
married Nathaniel P. .Talcott, of Lauesboro,
afterwards the founder and principal of a
popular boarding school there. Mr. Talcott
died in 1841, very suddenly, from a mistake
in a medical prescription, leaving his widow
withalarge family of young children. In
those trying circumstances, she exhibited the
highest and noblest character as a mother;
as she always did as a woman. No home was
a better school for its inmates, or a more at-
tractive school centre than that over which
she presided. For many yearslbefore she re-
moved to Pittsfieid, her parlors were known
to a large and cultured circle of friends. But
brilliant as it was in social life, her home
was no less conspicuous as a christian home
fin the lady who governed its household no
8 a christian woman. Her path in life was
not all smooth, nor always free from trouble.
Grief abouuded in it and trials which taxed
the highest powers and the most patient en-
durance, were constant; and it is her highest
praise that she met all bravely uncomplaia-
ing, cheerfully ; always a true and noble
woman, as strong as she was gentle.
One of Mrs. Talcott’s daughters married
Gen. Henry S. Briggs of this town, and an-
other, Georgc Bisscll, Esq, son of Governor
Bissell of Conuecticut,wlio died young in this
town. One of her sons, William occupies a
high business position in the city of New
York—Tim Pittsfield Sun, Sept. 14.
