The committee appointed to examine and
report upon the various articles entered for
exhibition, a'nd placed under the head of:
discretionary; beg leave to report, that they
have examined all of such articles and sub-
mit their vbws and awards to the society.
Your committee find that by far the most
interesting and important exhibition in this
class, is the Incubator, entered by Mr. B.
A. Bulkely of Southport, and known as the
“Perfect Hatchet,” manufactured and sold
by the Perfect Hatchcr Manufacturing
Company of Elmira, N. Y. This machine is
one of the, largest capacity made by that
company, and by the aid of electricity, steam
and heated water performs all of the func-
tions of the mother hen‘ to perfection, and
with proper care will hatch a greater per
cent. of eggs than by the old time process.
The machine so far as the regulation of heat
is concerned is automatic, which renders but
little care necessary, and a few minutes each
day is all that is required to ensure its
perfect success. The same company manu.
facture the “Artificial Mother,” by the aid
of which the motherless chicks from the
incubator, are cared for until strong enough
to scratch for themsefies.
The best evidence of the merits of this
machine was seen in the poultry department:
in the shape of a number of fine specimens
of Plymouth Rock fowls, hatched hr one of
the smaller machines of this kind, exhibited
by E. E. Sherwood, Esq, cashier of the
National Bank of Southport. Information as
to cost, etc., will be furnished by Mr. Bulk-
ley of Southport. ‘
The twenty-four specimens of scroll saw-
ing, by Lockwood K. Ferris,Esq., of Wilton,
were much and deservedly admired, and
show an artistic taste worthy of emulation,
and recommend a Diploma.
The “Millennial Plate,” with emblemat-
ical designs,exhibited by Mrs. E. A. Kroger,
was of'great age, and would add much to
the rare collection of rare bits of porcelain
now so much sought for.
Geo. B. Plaistcd, druggist, of South
Norwalk, had a well arranged and good
display of druggists sundries on exhibition
in the main hall, for which the committee
award him a Diploma. '
A model house which bears evidence 3?:
Mr. A. N. Hawlcy of Hawleyvillc, sent
some samples of grape wine of the vintage
of 1874, 1872 and 1880, which will compare
favorably with the best foreign wines in the
market; Diploma.
Mr. C. M. Loomis of Bridgeport, agent for
the New England States, had on exhibition
the new “Chineesc Magic Polish” for flu-
ishing coat of the finest kinds of :woodiand
leather, and the practicable application in
the presendo of the committee, and from the
best of recommendation from those engaged
in manufacture of instruments of fine woods
we think will justify us in awarding a Dip-
loma.
Mr. Harvey Fitch had on exhibition two
sample sacks of wheat and rye flour, which
are ample evidence that he is in position to
give the community hereabouts flour as good
as the best. .
The Adjustable Carriage and Sleigh Pole,
manufactured by Henry Fins of Danbury,
is new in design, recently patented and is
well recommended by those having them in
use.-
Mr. J. R. Hillz’s of 444 Main street,
Bridgeport, made afine display of ornament-
al show cards and signs, which is highly
creditable, and for which we award him a
Diploma.
The Canvas Boat, built and shown by
Robbie Hanford of Norwalk, deserves and,
has 'received much attention, the entire
outside material- being of canvass instead of
wood, thus rendering it the lightest boat
made,—thc one on exhibition being a full
model 12 feet 2; boat and canvas weighing 94
pounds.
The nice fencing and netting manufactured
by the Gilbert & Bennett M’l’g Co., of
Georgetown, are now coming into more gen-
eral use among the farmers,aud those engaged
in raising'poultry. The fencing which costs
but one dollar per rod, has been found
by recent examination, to be in good condi-
tion after fourteen years use, which certainly
ought to commend it to the attention of all
about erecting fencing on poultry inclosures.
The samples of domestic wine and older
sent for competition by Mr. John H. Monroe .
of Norwalk, including cider of ten years of
age were found to be of excellent quality
and the committee take pleasure lu awarding
for the same a Diploma.
All of wlgch is nicptllgctfully submitted.

We have received from our friend and for-

Professor in the German Theological Dc—
partmcnt of the Rochester University, the
following hymn composed by his son Walter,
a student in a college in Germany, on hearing
of the attempted assassination of President
Garfield. .
My country, hall to thee,—
Land of the mighty free, '
Shining afar!
Never to earth shall throw
Thy might the tyrant foo,
Nc’cr drag thy colors low,
Thy splendor mar.
Though thy blood hc thirst,
Though cannon’s thunder burst.
Thou towcrcst grand !
W here freeman gladly toil
On their own loved soil,
Nor covet warlike spoil,
Safe in the mud.
Safe, while we trust in God,
Bow to his mighty rod,
Ruling us well.
Let tempests o’er us roll,
Let empires tottering fall.
God rulcth over all,
His praises swell 1
Keep your hearts strong and bravo,
Breast manful every wave,
Bc pure and free !
Thou shall our beacon-light
Pierce through the world’s dark night.
Show her the noble sight
Of liberty.

“In the Iaguidi,” says M. Scuz in a recent
communication to thc French Geographical
Society, “a region of sand dunes very diffi-
cult to cross,I Observed a phenomenon which
was as'rarc as it was interesting—resonant
or musical sand. All at once one bears in
the desert, issuing from a sand dune, a pro-
longed, smbthercd sound quite like the noise
of‘a trumpet. It lasts for some seconds, and
then stops, to resume itself in another direc-
tion. The phenomenon renders the traveler
anxious. ‘I suppose it proceeds from the
friction against one another of the burning
hot grains of quartz, which are simply laid
one over the other and are always in mo-
tion.” ’
Despite the terrible force of the shock of
the electric cel—a power equal to fifteen
Seyden jars—itis preycd upon by a little
parasitic fish. so two or three inches in
length, which agents utterly oblivious of
the shock.
It has been calculated that the intestines
of flies and other insects contain blood
vessels so minute that two hundred thousand
of them placed together in a bundle would
only equal a hair in size.
It is learned from a private report that on
the southern seaboard of the. Chinese prov—
ince of Kwangtung are found wi silk—
worms which feed on the camphor tree and
whose silk is utilized in a singular manner.
When full grown, the caterpillar is cut open
and the silk extracted in a form much rc-
sembling catgut. This substance is subjected
to a hardening process and made into flsh
lines.
"Gelatlno—diaspon" is the name given to a
new explosive, produced by M. Anders. It
is composed of wood-cellulose and ultra.
glycerine, is unaffected by cold, is not sensi-
ble to blows or shocks, and explodes only by
a sudden increase of temperature to about
320 degrees Fahrenheit. It burns quietly
when ignited in the open air, and is not af-
fected by water.
In Japan spiders interfere considerably
with the telegraphic service by spinning long
webs from the wires to the trees and to the
earth, which in wet weather, become good
conductors of electricity, and carry off the
current. Forces of men have to be em-
ployed to keep the lines clear, so great is
this evil.
The remarkable discoveries of Jenner,
Pasteur and others, showing that some of
the most fatal virulent diseases may be ren-
dered harmless by inoculation with a
weakened virus, have led to the suggestion
of the possibility of combatting tuberculosis
in the same manner. It is now quite gener-
ally believed that this disease, like small pox,
chicken cholera and anthrax, is due to‘tho
verfiapid increase of certain minute organ-
isins in the body, and it seems reasonable to
hope that inoculation with its weakened
germs may produce as favorable results as
have been achieved in the case of the other
maladies. This is an important problem for
science to solve.
It is calculated that the amount of force
daily expended by an adult whighing one
hundred and fifty pounds in the perform-
ance of the ordinary work of the body
would raise 2,400 tons one foot, if applied
mechanically. '
At the National Industrial Exhibition in
Milan has been exphibited an electrical vot-
ing apparatus, designed by Signor Roeelli, a
member of the Itallian Parliament. The
idea is simply as follows: Each member of
the house has in front of him a metal plate
bearing his name. The plate is furnished
with three metal buttons, marked respective-
ly “Aye," "No,” and “Abstain.” This
plate is in connection with a central printing
apparatus, which prints in three separate col-
umns the ayes, noes, and abstaiuers, accord-
ing as the members depress their respective
buttons. A fourth column marks the absen-
tees. At the moment of recording each vote,
a number corresponding with the number of
the vote appears, so that the total may be
seen at a glance. By this system, members
can vote and keep their seats, a great saving
of time being also effected.
‘ Prof. Raoul Picket, of Geneva, is engaged
in working out a problem in machine archi-
tecture, the proper solution of which he
believes will affect a revolution in shipbuild-
ing. His object of study has been the con-
struction of a keel which shall cause the
ship, to glide over the water instead of
pushing its way through it. The resistance
of the water to the passage of a vessel is in
this way reduced to a minimum. He is
now experimenting with a keel upon this
principle.
A certain peculiar plant is known in New
South Wales as the “shoeblack plant." The
flowers contain a large proportion of a
mucilaginous juice, which forms an excel-
lent substitute for shoc-blacking, producing
a brilliant polish. This juice is used by
Chinese ladies for dyeing the hair, and it is
said that in Java the flowers are really used
for blocking shoes.

An Impcrtlnent Mimic.
Young ladies who expect attentions from
young men should not keep a too well edu~
cated parrot. A family in Nashville has a
parrot noted for his wonderful powers of
imitating the human voice. The family also
has a daughter whose especial duty is the
care of the parrot. .
The young lady has a friend, a young man,
who called at the house one evening and
pulled the door bell. The parrot, sitting in
an up-stairs window, heard the jingle of the
bell and called out : '
“Go to the window l” The young man was
startled. -
He looked at all the windowa below and
found them closed. He pulled the bell knob
again. ‘
“Next door l” shouted the parrot, in a
voice not unlike the young lady’s.
The young man looked up and down the
