Yesterday was a bad day for receiving articles, but the rain‘laid the dust and will prove of great benefit—unless there should be too much of it. We are assured that more space has been asked for and taken than at any former exhi- bition. Several Bridgeport firms, it is ex- pected, will make large and fine displays, and a number of Norwalk merchants will do the same. A tent will be erected for the dis- play of implements and other features which were sheltcrless last year. This afternoon the Ball play, for a prize, takes place between the Resolutes, of Bridgeport, and the Good Lucks, of Winnipauk. On Wednesday and ' Thursday evenings the Howe Band will give Concerts in the Exhibition Hall, with spec- ially selected programmes. For the races a large number of entries have been made, and there promises to be no lack of sport in that line. 'The Danbury trains will make numerous extra trips daily, during the fair. The Encampment. The experiment of having the entire brigade of the State National Guard encamp at one timc,scems to have worked remarkably well. The four regiments of Infantry, and the Bat- tery of Artillery, cncamped on the State grounds at Niantic, all last week, and ev- erything passed off in the most satisfactory manner, apparently. It was evidently not a pic-nic occasion entirely, for the exercises commenced at 5.30 a. m., and ended at 10.80 p. m., when all not on duty were sup- posed to be in bed. The men say that much solid work was performed. Monday was chiefly spent in getting to camp and settling down into quarters. Drill commenced in earnest Tuesday morning. Gov. Bigelow and staff arrived in camp on Wednesday af- ternoon. On Thursday there was a grand Review by Gen. Shaler, of New York, and Friday was “Governor's Day," when five or six thousand spectators were present, Saturday morning, tents were struck and the various commands departed for home. Companies D and F ar- rived home between five and six o’clock. Co. F. marched up from South Norwalk, reaching the armory at 6 o’clock. They showed much improvement, marching through the Bridge “company front” like old veterans. =55 Star Route Verdict. The jury in the Star Route cases, at Wash- ington, failed to agree, and were sent back to stay until they can find a verdict. Monday afternoon the jury again reported that they were unable to agree. The judge decided to accept a partial verdict, when they renderedoa verdict of acquittal as to Turner and Peck, and to guilty as to Miner and Rerdell. ‘ Personal. Capt. 0. R. Mumford, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is visiting friends in town. Stephen Comstock and Cashier Curtis made a visit to Providence last week. Mr. Geo. Buxton leaves today for Saratoga for a week or so, weather favoring. Sergeant Wright, of the Metropolitan po- lice, was in town several days last week. Postmaster Olmstead’s wife has gone to the mountains on her usual hay fever trip. Geo. R. Cowles and wife, are at Mahatlan Beach for a few days. Special call down to witness Saturday's fire-works. . Miss Mary I-Iubbell has resigned her posi- tion as matron in a New Jersey institution and returned to her home in Norwalk. Mr. Thomas Stanley Vandcrhofi’, of the New York Stock Exchange, contemplates removing his family to Brooklyn for the winter. ‘ ‘Miss Allie Brothciton, daughter of Char us C. Brotherton, who taught the North Wilton school last year, has been engaged to teach the sobbol at Mianus this year. Mr. Linus Weed, of Norfolk, Virginia, is on avisit North with his family. He was in town last Friday, greeting old acquaintances. lIe ring-said to be doing a flourishing business in Norfolk. Richard Nickerson, a Norwalk boy, form- crly chief engineer of the New Canaan Rail- road, has been appointed engineer in charge of the pumping station of the New Haven water works. . Mr. R. T. B. Easton, who is a commercial and real estate lawyer at No. 10 Spruce street, N. Y., willon Wednesday remove his family to the city, for an indefinite period, having given up his house Down Town and taken one in 17th street, New York. Mr. Boston has been a commuter on the New York road from Wilton and Norwalk, con- tinuously for fourteen years, and thinks he will now rest a while from daily travel. As deacon in the First Congregational church, where he has always taken an active inter- est, he will be very much missed, but more why his many personal friends and acquain- tances who highly esteem him for his genial manners and sterling character. “—42-."- Thc Wilson Point Well. The masonry for the wind mill at Wilson Point is nearly completed, and the frame work will be up in two or three days. The wind mlll is patented and manufactured at Watcrtown, N. Y., and is believed to be the best in use, and as there is always a good breeze at the point, when any where to be found, there can be no doubt but that the supply of water will be am‘ple for all pur- poses needed. The water in the well is six feet in depth, seventy hogshcads in quantity, which does pretty well for these dry times. The tower and large wind mill, will add an- other attraction to this most charming point on the sound. 15. B’s. Attention. The regular monthly meeting of the Big- elow Battallion is to be held this evening. A prompt and full attendance is requested. Steamboat. Rumors are that a new boat wlll soon be put on to connect with the trains at Wilson Point for New York, but we have not infor- mation upon the subject. and must wait for their confirmation until our next issue. # No clue has yet been ’obtaiued of Mr. Sturges’s stolen horse. Caucus. . The Republican State Convention is to be held next Week Wednesday, the 20th inst. Delegates for this and other Republican conventions to be held this Fall will be ap- pointed at a Caucus to be held at the office of Clerk Woodbury, in Gazette Building, on Friday evening. The Republican caucus at South Norwalk, will be held the same evening. A new method of nominating Town offi- cers is being agitated which is believed to be much better than the old. As we understand it, it ii similar to the Ward custom now pre- vailing in Bridgeport. The plan proposed will portion the town off into districts, (per- haps adopting present school district lines, or others, as may be deemed best,) when each of these districts will be entitled to send a certain number of delegates to a general Town Convention, at which the nominations will be made. By this means all sections of the town can be fully and fairly represented, each district can present names of candidates and delegates tirom the entire town will select the proper men for the va- rious positions. It is claimed that better nominations will thus be secured and unity of action secured which will greatly strength- en the party :thronghout the town. The matter was fully discussed at a caucus in the First Voting District last Fall, and will probably be brought up for action in both the First and Second Districts this Fall. Mr. Elmer Lee, our officient Telephone Manager, has prepared fdr the County Fair a very complete exhibit of the mechanicism and working of the Telephone of fo-day and also of House Electrical service, which in- cludes Burglar Alarm, calls for Dining Room Kitchen and any part of House, Door Bell, &c.,and also for Stables, He shows different styles of instruments, bells, call buttons, &c., and altogether it is a very tasty as well as complete exhibit. Mrs. Edwin Hoyt had a remarkably flue Night Blooming Cereus blossoming last week. There were some thirty blossoms on this one plants. We hear of other plants in blossom, last week, at the residences of Henry M. Hoyt, B. 0. Banks, Mrs. Elizabeth Quintard, and Mrs. Rufus Plait. Regimental Reunions. Lieut. B. S. Keith, Isaac Bowe, and Caleb Wood, attended the annual reunion of the old Tenth Regiment, C. V., at Stony Creek, on Thursday last. It is to be presumed that they were not slow in making a movement to the front when the call was sounded for the clam bake. Lieutenant Keith was elected one of the Vice-Presidents. The reunion of the 13th C. V., was held at New London on Thursday. About seventy members were present. Gen. Birge was elected President, and U. S. Marshal Kinney was re-elected Secretary. , This week reunions will beheld as follows: Twenty-third, Bridgeport, Tuesday; Sixth, at Bridgeport, Wednesday ; Twenty-seventh, at Madison. Wednesday; Eighth, at Bristol, Thursday : Fourteenth, at Osprey Beach, Saturday. Pansnxraron.——Upon leaving the situation as foreman with Messrs. Adams Brothers which he had held some seventeen years, Mr. Oliver E. Trowbridgc, of the new firm of Coolidge d: Trowbridge was presented with an elegant gold watch and chain, by his fellow workmen. The presentation speech was made by Mr. Joseph Tammany. Such a token of esteem will be highly prized by the recipient. ~— The Republican speaks of a curiosity-it has discovered in the shape of Apple Balsam; well, it is a curiosity, but nothing new in these parts. Its real name is Balsam Pear, and specimens were exhibited several years ago at the County Fair by W. S. Hanford, Esq., of South Norwalk. He has at the pres- ent ,time two of the plants on his place right in sight of all passers by. He has also sev~ eral fine specimens of the Japanese Hydran_ gen now in full bloom, the flowers of which come out first green, then change to white and finally to scarlet, and last. several months Locomotive Steam Whistling. A South Norwalk correspondent writes us as follows: “It is now a fortnight since the Railroad Commissioners met with our City Council, with reference to the nuisance of steam whistling, blowing off steam, and day and night switching across the principal thoroughfares, which had become intolerable, and it was confidently hoped that the meeting would bring about a change for the better. The only changes thus far observed is, that the up trains do not blow off steam quite so furiously, that the night and morning call for the “lost sheep” (fiagmen) ' more pro- longed and deifening, and that the call for switchmen, and night switching, is even more frequent than before,which is probably caused by an increase of freight business. This night switching is often kept up until two o’clock in the morning, and the regular switching commences before 5:80, so that there is but little time for quiet repose for those living near the crossings of Washington and Main streets. It was stated at the meeting that the blowing off of steam in such force as to dis- turb the peace of the community was unnec- ersiry, and should be stopped at once, and an improvement was noticed,but it has great- ly increased within the past few days, and will . probably soon be fully up to the old time blasts, and frightened horses, and en- dang'crcd occupants of vehicles be an every hours occurencc. There must be a remedy for this state of things, and if the railroad commissioners are powerless, then certainly there must be power in the courts of the state to abate such stupendous nuisances. We'hope the city council will not abate their efforts, but will take all legal steps necessary for the protection of life, health and proper- ty,feeling assured their constituents will sus- tain them in so doing. It does seem that the greater part of the noise could be dispensed with without detriment to the railroad inter- ests, for at the Grand Central Depot in New York, where hundreds of trains arrive and depart each day, no locomotive whisting is heard. ” w The N cw Order. The new Council of' the American Legion of Honor was instituted last Thursday ev- ening, with fifty eight members. The name of “Success" was adopted, and meetings will be held every Thursday evening,'for the present in the rodms of Concord Division, S. of T., in Gazette Building. We give be- low a correct list of officers of this council, who will serve until next December : P. C., Geo. T. Merrill; Com. W. B. Glines; Chaplain; Chas. J. Taylor; Tress, Sylvester Grumman; See., St. J. Merrill; Collector, Perley H. Glines; Guide, Conrad Staub; Orator, Geo. S. Grumman; Warden Wm. E. Blodgett; Sentry, James Lycett; Trustees, James L. Gregory.Morris Benedict, Chas. J. Taylor. The order is comparatively new, having been instituted in Boston in December 1878, but already numbers 908 councils with a total membership of 100.000. The increase of membership last year is stated at 31,000. Its beneficial and insurance features are among its strong points. There are six de- grees, and each member is insured from $5 to $5,000 according to the number of degrees taken. Unlike most secret societies the membership is not restricted to males. Un- like other societies also, members are com- pelled to submit to medical examination, substantially the same as if applying for life insurance. Fire. Abarn on the West Norwalk road. be- longing to Mr. Foster (a brother of Frank Foster,) was destroyed by fire about 12 o'clock Sunday night, together with a good horse. - . A State official visited the factories in the city last week, and ordered the removal of all children under fourteen who had not been in school the time required by law. Editorial Letter. ISLAND, HOUSE, SourmWasr Hanson, Mr. Dn'sitar, Mu. , September 6th, 1882. DEAR GAZETTE:— The bracing, stimulating air and ravishing views of this sea and mountain crowned Is- land, so fills the soul with rapture, and the imagination with poetic ideas of at least _ glimpses of the Celestial City of Apocalypse, that on the first impulse to send you greeting these lines of Longfellow, come spontaneous- ly into the brain :— “Ultima Thule! Utmost Islet Here in thy harbors for a while We lower oursails; a while we rest From the unending, endless quest." This island has been so much “written up," and so much poetry and sentiment have been laviahed in describing its beauties and chant- ing its praises, that one hardly knows where to begin or where to end. Perhaps the strongest and most prosaic praise of Mt.Des- ert, is in the fact that every one who once comes here, wants to come again, more than ever, and like Bridgct’s many babies, the last one, is always the best. The regular tourist guide slips, describe Mt. Desert as— "An island, full of‘ hills and dolls, All rumpled and uneven With green recesses, sudden chlls. And odorous valleys, driven So deep and straight that always there The wind is cradled to soil. air.” One hundred and ten miles east of Port- land, Maine, lies the picturésquc island of Mount Desert. It is eighteen miles long and about twelve in breadth, and joined to the main land by Trenton'bridge. Champlain named the place “Monts Deserts, on account of its rude solitudes, and its early history is full of romantic interest. Old chronicles tell us many a tale of an- cient fisherman, priest, and savage. Under the shadow of Newport ML, the Jesuits raised their cross, centuries ago, in gratitude to God for their escape from shipwreck, and the shores of the sound have, doubtless, echoed back "The chant of many a holy hymn And solemn bolls of vesper ringing.” Indian relics, places where gold is said to have been buried, ruins of the cellars of an- cient dwellings and other objects of interest diversify the tonrist’s ramble among the mountain lakes, the seaside hamlets, the beet- ling craigs or over the pleasant meadows. Since the days of the Gregories—who held property here under an old grant from Louis XIV, and whose graves are seen just outside the cemetery north of Bar Harbor—the his- tory of Mt. Desert has presented less of his- toric romance. Latterly, however, the place has enjoyed a growing celebrity as a healthful summer re- sort. Its scenery is unequaled in variety, presenting in the same neighborhood, as one has suggested, “the Isles of Shoals, and Wa- chausett, Nahant, and Monadnock, Newport and the Catskills.” The paintings of Harry Brown, Norton, William Hart, and other prominent artists have made its name famil- iar to thousands to whom the pleasure of a visit here is yet in store, just as Louis Prong, the prince of picture makers in America, has made the White Mountains familiar to the art loving public by his inimitable chromos. One ought to spend a month at Mt. Dessert, if possible, for the hurried traveler carries away only the grander, awe inspiring features of the island, but a more intimate acquaint- ance reveals its tenderer elements of beauty, and screner loveliness. There is, for in- stance, “the quiet charm of the coves at the head of the Sound ; the mill in the meadow underDry ML, and the merry brook below it; the pebbly bea‘ch north of Bar Island, the long bright bay beyond, and the soft rip- ple of the waves dying in harmony with the murmur of the pines. Calm sunrise over quiet seas, broad moon-light on shining for- ests, glowing sunsets across purpllng distance, and the tender after-glow on shadowy hills complete the radient changes of the days. One would fain linger till the autumnal breezes fill the air, and the October splendor lights up the valleys.” Approaching from Portland, the first land- ing place on Mt. Desert is Southwest Harbor, on the lower side of the Sound. Here is the Island House kept by H. H. Clark, who fur- nishes carriages, boats, guides and every fa- cility and comfort to his guests. . The ap- proach from the sea is grand, and thescenery about the Sound is full of varied pictur- esquesness. ' ' Delightful drives and rambles may be had, especially northward round the head of Some’s Sound, which nearly disccts the is- land. Leaving Somesville the tourist will, by an hour’s drive, reach the westerly slope of Green ML, about 2,000 feet high. 0n the top is situated the Green Mountain House. A road leads to the summit. Of the exquisite beauty of the scene thus presented, Whittier has given a picture in the legend of his “Mogg Mcgonc.” A view from this moun- tain is one that cannot be described, and must be seen, and once seen will never be forgotten. Mt. Katahdin, Camden Mts. and Mt. Desert Rock are plainly seen. These with the smaller Mountains in the immediate vicinity, with their numerous lakes, the broad expanse of ocean—studded with the sails of a hundred vessels, together make a view that cannot be surpassed. At Bar Harbor, 15 miles from' S. W. Har- bor. the scenery is enchanting. Of the mountain and stream, island, cave and lake, with the river, bay and headland, which an- sw:‘r to names suggestive of tender memories and “whose melody yet lingers like the last vibration of the red [man’s requiem," a vol. ume might be written. Rodick island is reached on foot, over a sand bar, which may be crossed two hours after the tide begins to ebb, the tourist being unmindful not to unduly prolong his visit if he would return dry shod. The drive to Eden is full of delightful in- terest. Here are pointed out the graves of early colonists, and here the shore along which the French priest, D'Aubri, wandered, lost and surviving, for sixteen day,. The five Porcupine islands lie all the while in sight. Four miles from Bar Harbor, southerly at Schooner Head, are Spouting Horn and Dev- il’s Oven, the one a cleft in the crag, through which, during an easterly gale, the sea spouts with terrific force, and the other a huge cav- ern which should be visited at low water. Miss Barnes beautifully pictures it in her monograph of Mt. Desert. 0n the broad, dank floor, enameled with pink and pale green, are crowded strange creations of won- drous sea life, from the tiny, white daisy bud, and sweet anemones, to the great tawny creature, whose broad side, striped with am- ber and crimson, covers the hand. Here she says, “The sunlight reflected from the blue waves shone on the dark vault above us, as through broad chancel window down cathe- dral nave; and sitting there one morning, with wind and wave and echo for organ roll, we sang Old Hundred.” N; E. Harbor and neighborhood are regarded by Harry Brown and other eminent painters as the most at- tractive places, in scenic efliect, to be found on the island. _ The stranger should also visit Great Head, rich in- savage grandeur; Newport Beach, bordering green meadows; Thunder Cave, sprinkled with its yellow sand; the castellat- ed crags near by, overgrown with gray lich- ens, hoary like ancient ruins; the sea wall, the “Cloisters,” and St. Sauveur,on~Fernald’s Point, where tradition afilrms the ill-fated band ofAFrench colonists under Du Thet. was scattered by the guns ofithe Virginian governor Argall, the Romish. missionary be- ing killed, and his associate Jesuit left in'the forest, while the remainder, like the villagers of Grand-Pro, were carried off to the Eng- lish colonies. There are thirteen mountains and thirteen lakes, few of them bereft of story, all inter- esting alike to the student of geology, the sportsman, the florist and the artist. Blue bells, morning glories, white and yellow wa- ter lilies, the twin flower, the mountain cran- berry, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and huekleberries, with other fruits and flowers in their. season abound to an extent which leads the delighted visitor to regard the name of the island a strange mimorner. The memory of a month at'Mt. Desert, at the noontide of the year is itself a summer idyl, and will combine the elements of choicest interest and most enduring pleasure. A more practical and less sentimental de- scription of the island would be-to outline its unique :configuration as in shape like a huge old-fashioned crook-necked winter sqmwh. The crooked neck and stem end' of the squash may be given as “Southwest Har- bor,” the favorite summer sojourn of your correspondent, and the most, picturesque, weird and romantic end of the island in the opinion of artists and lovers of nature's wild- est woods. The hell or flower end of the outline is the next steamer landing, or fash- ionable “Bar Harbor.” Here a young city larger than South Norwalk, and as fashiona- blc and expensive and full of “society” sets as Saratoga, has sprung into existence with- in a few years. It has its water works, its police and licensed hacks and “buckboards,” in true metropolitan style. Cottages cost- ing from one thousand to one costing sire hun- dred thousand dollars dot the shores of the rocky beach or the pine and cedar-groved mountain sides, while the harbor is continu— ally filled with the neat and trim steam and sail pleasure yachts from Boston, New York and all along shore. The plank sidewalks are filled every sunny day with ladies robed in blue flannels and vari-colorcd buntings, with checks as tanned as autumn nuts, while the nose of every man you see would be a passport into any Democratic primary in the land. As has been frequently said of old Norwalk, so may it be said of Mt. Desert— “The Lord has done wonders for the place and the people little for themselves”—and so might it be remarked of the notice islanders. They greatly lack intelligent thrift and en- terprise. At Bar Harbor a few wealthy families have, from time to time established their summer homes, and by force of circum- stances and natural competition, and not by reason of any wit on the part of original and native owners, land that only a few years since could have been purchased for ten dol- lars an acre will now bring as many thou- sands. At Southwest Harbor they are just straining up a real estate “boom," but it is a slow and hard and unpromising endeavor. To the venerable and widely popular Deacon Clark, proprietor of the Island House, more than to any other dozen natives, is this end of the'vegetable-shaped island we have de- scribed indebted for what little growth, im- provement and development it has experi- enced. The good Deacon’s hotel is the most home-like of any caravansary on the whole island. There is nothing in the line of pos- sibilities that he will not do to humor the reasonable or unreasonable desires or whims of his guests. Here there is no sham or show; no tinsel glitter,‘-_but real, substantial home comfort, peace, rest and recuperation. Of the scores, and even hundreds, we have recommended to his hospitable care, never did we meet one one who was not more than satisfied with the entertainment he received at the good Deacon's hands at his famed “Ismn House." This is no fulsome praise. The “season" is now over and our kindest commendations can do him no good this year, but if any reader will come here next season, and not endorse all we have written in the party to draw on us at sight and in full for his debenture bill. Next, in the order of enlightened enterprise, the worthy Post- master here should be mentioned. Capt. J. B. Freeman, besides being P. M., Town Clerk, School Committeenian, Master of the Lodge, Surveyor, and “Sir oracle” gener- ally, among the natives, owns ni‘id runs the two largest and finest sailing yachts, a score or so of row boats, for the modation of summer guests.’ He has just started the first coal yard here, and will next spring start a lumber yard and add to his fleet of small vessels a steam launch to be used by excursionists when winds are contrary, or calms prevail. He is doing what he can to induce summer visitors to purchase villa and cottage sites for fpermanent residence here during the heated term. If the Captain only had Ben. Sturges or Jeema Mitchell here to 'aid him, these enchantingly lovely rocky shores,and pine and cedar crowned hill-tops, would soon be disposed of. But although“ the land here is practically worthless to the’ native, and the more he has of it the worse he is off, he does not understand the thrifty art of selling now and then a lot for a nom- inal sum, or even giving one away to induce the erection of a cottage and starting an improvement, while others, stand in the way of all improvements, by refusing to sell an inch of ground, for fear they may not get all it may be worth a half century hence. So that the judgment must be passed upon a majority of these honest, simple minded, kindly dispositioned and hospitable people, that they are not sharp, thrifty, cute and “world-wise" like unto their brethren in other parts of the State, and after studying them and their peculiarities, it is not so dif- ficult to understand how it is that New England Maine should have been guilty of me absurdity of electing greenbackcrs for Governor and Congress. - Bishop Doane and President Elliott, have purchased pretty headland sites and erected cottages near here. The good Bishop has had erected a capscious rustic chapel, which be dedicated last Sunday week. To this church and service Captain Freeman gra- tuitously transports across the bay, the hotel guests every Sunday. The churches, schools, and general character of the sum- mer visitors here are all that any sensible bond of a family might desire. While many of the distinguished, cultured and wealthy people of the land congregate here, this end of the Island, and Deacon Clark’s is the very paradise for recuperating clergymen and their families. Good “brother” Goodsell spent his vacation here, “as usua "—but had left a few days before our own arrival. It is barely possible that he may have heard we were coming and so hurried away to escape us. The Boston paper informs us that it is very hot in the states, but here, heavy wraps and birch fires are needed after night fall, winter quilts are in requisition if you expect to sleep the sound and refreshing sleep of- thc righteous man. Beyond and over, all the invigorating sea and mountain air, however, is the untold untenable beauty and charm of the wildly and gradly combined scenery of land and water, that have their witchery upon the canvass of memory for- ever. The changing cloud shadows on the seamed and scared mountain tops; the never ending splash and foam. and music of the sea waters dashing against the rocky shores; the gleaming sunshine _on fleccy crest of quiet ocean wave. setting all the sea afisme ; the milder glories of the full-orbed moon, seemingly lifting the amorous lips of the rippling waves up to ,kiss the stars, all these are pictures daily and nightly enjoyed and are enough not only to charm Calyspso and all nymphs, but set poet and painter wild with ecstatic delight. “One' sight like this Will bathe the drooping spirit in doligh: Beyond the bliss of dreams.” ' As Ever. B. On Saturday an old couple came down from the'country to Justice Selleck’s office, and the woman made complaint against her husband, and was bound to have a divorce. The judge talked the matter over with them, in his peculiarly winning manner,and in a few ' minutes had restoredharmony between-them, and sent them off “married over again,” as happy as a couple of; young lovers. Norwalk is raising a big crop of young thieves. If an apple or pear in a private yard escapes the worms or other ills which fruit is heir to, it will be stolen before half ripe. As soon as one grape in a bunch turns dark the entire hunch is suddenly missing. Raising fruit here is only tempting boys to steal, and they seem to consider yielding to such temptation a virtue. m Monday:nigbt the returns from Maine look favorable for the Republicans. —-——-.-I.o—.——-——-— Britain’s jewel just now is a Garnet—Troy mes.

Cook, his friend and traveling companion in Europe in 1874, the writer makes mention of the results of an investment made about that time in railroad lands in Iowa, which are not with- out general interest. The land is located in the central part of Western Iowa, and contains about 12 square miles. To bring so large a body of land rapidly under cultivation Mr. Cook adopted the plan of cutting it up into small farms of 820 acres each. Upon these be erected the necessary buildings, furnished stock, tools, etc., sufficient to equip and operate separate farms, and was thus enabled to secure first class tenants to work the land on shares. Such a plan could, of course, only~be car- ried out by a man of unlimited resources, which Mr. Cook possessed. The outlay for the first year was enormous, requiring the purchase of carload after carload of build- ing materials, horses, cattle, hogs, machin- ery, etc., which were shipped to the land from the nearest railroad station, then quite distant. Mr. Cook now writes that the investment has been a grand success, as the land is all under cultivation and producing splendid crops. No fences are built in that country, but to divide the land and define the roads he set out long avenues of trees, which, if in a straight line, would reach over 200 miles. These have grown so rapidly that many of them are now 25 or 30 feet high, and with the groves surrounding the various clusters of buildings, have completely changed the lanscape from a wild, treeless prairie of five or six years ago to a beautiful rolling coun- try, interspersed with houses, barns, pictur- esque groves and growing crops. Mr. C. has erected a fine house for his own residence near the centre of the tract, from which he can overlook his tenants on every side. This he occupies with his family dur- ing the summer months, and the climate be- ing delightful, makes it a charming place for a summer residence. They make their home the rest of the year in Chicago, where he owns a handsome residence facing Union Park, or spend the time time traveling. This seasonthey purpose visiting the eastern cities and Florida, returning by way of Texas and St. Louis. ' The land, although subdivided into small farms for convenience of working, under Mr. Cook’s system is virtually one large farm and subject to the supervision of one man. It has now a railroad on both sides of it, with settlers in every direction. Land adjoining that for which Mr. Cook paid $5 per acre cansiderably less than 10' years ago is now held by the railroad companies at $30 per acre, largely due to the business foresight, energy and well-directed capital of Mr. C. He has a steam thresher on the land capable of threshing 1,500 bushels of grain daily, and writes that this has been a very favorable season for harvesting. His farming, how- ever, is not confined to one crop, as he raises the various crops necessary to the production of cattle and pork in large quanties. Three or four years ago he bought up and sent to the land large quantities of the best breeds of pigs, which have greatly increased both in numbers and value, pork now selling at $20. to $22. per bbl. in Chicago. Mr. Cook was very fortunate in having made all his heaviest outlays during the cheap times, and his returns must be enor- mous from the high prices ruling the past two years. When we imagine a farm embracing all the land in the town of Norwalk. or a tract one mile wide reaching nearly to Bridgeport, with no rocks, swamps or waste land of any kind, and a uniform rich, deep soil through- out, we can better understand that it is truly a mammoth farm, even in this country of great farms. ' Mr. Cook has been in Norwalk, and is known to quite a number here. #5 W Fine Bartlett Pears for Preserving at Starr Brother’s. ____..——. Burnt Out. We regret to chronicle that Messrs. Brown 85 Sherwood, of this place. who but a few months ago started a hat shop in Bridgeport, were on Saturday noon burnt out, but presume, as they are young and energet- ic, that they will soon be under headway again in a new shop. The Standard says: An alarm of fire was sounded at about a quarter to one this afternoon, and in a few moments it was known that the Brown a: Sherwood hat factory on Housatonic avenue, above Congress street, was in flames. The factory was a wooden building, three stories high, and being very dry the flames spread With almost incredible rapidity, and there was not the slightest chance of' saving it. The coal sheds adjoining the hat factory on the south, but not now occupied, were on fire in a few moments after the flames broke out. The factory and the sheds were a mass of smoking ruins in less than an hour. The Bay building across the street was scorched and burned, and would have been destroyed but for the covering of corrugated iron. The fire broke out in the drying room on the third floor of the hat factory, and was caus- ed by the heating pipes. The fire spread so rapidly that the few workmen in the build- ing were driven out, some of them leaving a portion of their clothing behind them. None of them saved their tools. thing saved was a few finished hats. The firm employed from 150 to 200 hands and had been at work about sfour months. A gentleman connected with the firm said their loss on finished and unfinished work and trimmings would be between $15,000 and $20,000. It was about two-thirds covered by insurance. They also lost on the build- ing, as they had made a good many improve- ments and had built the additions at their own expense. . This loss was partially cov. ered by insurance. He also said the total loss on the business would not be less than $50,000 to the firm, as the, trade was just commencing. The original building was owned by Mr. Benjamin Ray, but had been leased two or three times to different parties. He was protected by an insurance of $1,500 on the building. The coal sheds, which also belonged to Mr. Ray. were insured for $1,000. He thought his loss’b‘u both build- ings was covered by the insurance. Fire' Marshal. Morgan visited the hat factory Tuesday to see about putting up fire escapes. and called attention to the dangerous condi- tion of the heating pipes. The firm fixed them as they supposed reasonably safe, and finished the work this morning. They ob- tained their insurance policies only this morning, a very fortunate thing for them.a .r—.———-— Messrs. W. B.

A :knotty question has come before our Board of Councilmen. In the year A. D. 1873, sidewalks were ordered on Main street from Washington street to Pine street, and the width and height fixed by the board of councilman. Afterward, a curbstone meet- meeting of a majority (7) of the board was held, and the grade and width was changed, but no ,record appears on the council min- utes of the act. The walks were made, and the street widened and tax laid, however, in accordance with said curbstone vote, and some of the property owners feeling aggriev- ed petitioned :to 'have the walks changed. The act of the majority was declared and admitted to be illegal, and for this reason with others, the General Assembly were asked and made the acts legal. The present council not knowing all these facts have wisely referred the matter:to_the city attorn- ey for his opinion on the propriety of order- ing the work done. m The gentleman stepped on the coal dealers’ platform scales and asked to be weighed.The dealer said:Why certainly! and called to the man inside to take the weight. And the man thought it was coal he was weighing, and shouted back the weight 600 pounds.- Boston Post. ———-——+¢O’-.'———-‘ Palpitation of the heart, nervousness, tremblings. nervous headache, cold hands and feet, pain in the back, and other forms of weakness are relieved by Carter’s Iron Pills, made specially for the blood, nerves and complexion.
