Maine Election.
The Republicans of Maine have covered
themselves all over with glory and sent
greeting to her sister states a record of tri-
umph, far in excess of what the most san-
guine had dared to hope for. The sham
Democracy had entirely hid its disloyal
head and did not dare even to unfurl a ban-
ner or printaticket with the old party
name uponit, and so under the name of
“Fusion," sought to cheat the unthinking
' and steal into power again under a false dis-
guise. But like the jackass in the fable that
tried to hide its hideous ears in the lion's
skin, the skin not only proved too short, but
when the animal lifted its voice it was ev-
erywhere recognized as the bray of the old
Democratic Ass and the people, not tobe
cheated or cajoled, “sat down upon it " to
the tune of nearly ten thousand plurality.
All four of Maine's Republican Congressmen
ire triumphantly elected as is her Governor
and entire State ticket—with an overwhelm-
ing Republican majority in both branches
of her State Legislature, which ensures the
rc-election of that prince of statesmen and
good fellows, Hon. WM. P. Fan, to the
place in the United States Senate he has al-
ready so highly adorned. All hail, honest
and hardy and ocean-washed Maine. Con-
necticut sends thee greeting and anxiously
awaits her chance to record an equally grand
and brilliant victory for the Right.

The New Caucus Plan.
The proposed plan of nominating local
officers at a Town Convention, mentioned in
our last, is meeting with much favor. The
following gentlemen have been appointed a
committee to consider the matter and, if pos-
sible, to adopt some plan which ‘--will be en-
tirely satisfactory to all parts of the town ; J -

During the storm on Thursday night last,
Mr. Geo. F. Quintard's barnin Wilton, was
struck by lightning and totally destroyed.
Mr. Quintard’s horse was saved, and his

aged by fire. The total loss was some $600
or WOO—partially insured.

_ What to Expect.
Danbury expects a heavy fall of rain on
Thursday—firemen’s day. In order to derive
all possible advantage from it, the line of
march covers the entire town, it being esti-
mated" to cover a distance of five miles.
Add the usual marching and countermarchL
ing, and the standing around under orders
preliminary to the parade, and the cnthuai.
sum of youth will be soverely tested.

George W. Selleck informs us that his
neighborhood has been made quite lively of
late by the discovery of two poisonous ad-
ders, in Merwin street. The last one seen
was killed in the street, the first was destroy-
ed as it was making its way up the backyard
steps of Mrs. Osborn’s house. George says
it is bad enough to have adders, but he is
thanflul to be able to say that there are no
commends in that street.

Our ever active and genial friend Benj.
Sturges, got real estate moving very actively
in his door yard Monday night last. Seeing
or thinking he saw two burglariously dispos-
ed trespassers upon his premises in the dead
hour of the night, Ben seized his two revolv-
ers and “blazed away.” He fired nine shots
in all, but with great care and forbearance,
avoided hitting the scamps who made rapid
strides for the street. One of them halted,
however, a few moments later to hold a
friendly, confab with Tom Lyon-some rods

I The iron Steamboat Sirius, while on her
way to New Haven to take out an excursion
party, stopped at Wilson Point for an hour
on Wednesday last. Some of the managers
of the line came up in her to make a personal
inspection of the landing preparatory to put-
ting on one of their boats. Learning of her
contemplated stoppage at the Point, a num-
ber of our citizens were invited by the D. 8;
N. R. R. Officials to go 'down and look her
over. All were quite pleased with her fine
appearance and eommodious passenger decks.-
On invitation of President Hyatt several of
our citizens went over to New Haven on her
and returned quite delighted with the trip
and boat. The Sirius is of the same line as
the Pegasus, but is some 10 feet longer and
was built at Roach's Ship Yard; the Pegasus
although substantially the same kind of a
boat, was built by the Messrs. Cramp.

Fred. Partrick, son of George S. Par-trick,
Esq.,of Norwalk,who was so murderously as- _
saulted by high-way robbers in Chicago, ar-
rived home recently. It was found that‘besides
being robbed of all the money on his person,
three of his ribs were broken and the splin-
tered edge of one penetrated his lung
threatening {serious consequences to his
health and life. He was escoried home by
kind friends and is now in charge of Dr.
Baldwin, who hopes soon to bring him ‘out
all right. It was a very narrow escape from
being a cruel murder.

Steamboat-Ania.
We have had no genuine steamboat excite-
ment here like unto the present, since Cer-
nelius Vanderbilt used to run his opposition
line to “ Old Well” and Charles Isaacs went
down from the “Bridge” every night with
a writ of arrest for the old Commodore for
his impudent way of crowding into and
holding the regular boat’s dock againstfihe
protest of its owners, or the later excitement
of Capt. Greene’s Confidence and Peck's
Cataline.
A long and unsuccessful negotiation has
been carried on between the Danbury and
Norwalk Railroad Co. and Commodore
White, to put on a quicker and reliable
boat which should be acceptable to the R. R.
Co. and make New York or return in about
21/, hours. from the railroad’s new terminus
at Wilson’s Point; The Railroad Co. claims
as we learn, that Mr. White failed to furnish
such a boat as was, in its judgment, suitable
for the new service. Commodore White on
his side, claiming that neither he nor any
one else could run such a' boat as was de-
manded by the Railroad 00. because of the
expenses involved being sure to be in excess
of all receipts. Be the facts as they may,
negotiations between the parties terminated
last month, and with his noted promptness
' and energy President Hyatt opened negotia-
tions with the Iron Steamboat Company,
which _were finally concluded on Friday last,
to have one of their new iron steamers run
in connection with the Danbury Railroad
trains from and after Monday, the 18th.
New York handbills were circulated all
about and early Monday morning a stranger
at the “Bridge” or at the City of South
Norwalk would have surmised by the excited
knots and crowds about that an old-time
Whig and Loco-loco election was coming off,
or a balloon ascension, or certainly nothing
less than the marriage or funeral of a First
Selectman.
At 7:85 the Danbury train, with eight
well-filled cars, halted at the “ Bridge” sta-
tion and crammed all the available standing
room with excited tourists. Something near
two hundred must have passed down to Wil-
son’s Point and taken pinsage on the new
and beautiful steamer Pegasus [“Pheebus
what a name!“] waiting at the new pier.
The dock and vicinity presented a scene
of great animation. The workmen were
hurrying on with their uncompleted plat-
forms, gradings and other railroad work.
rated with flags, while a big "‘ Old Glory ”
flaunted triumphantly in ,the morning's
breeze from the dome of the ladies recep-
tion room. On the waters adjacent, numer-
ous sail and row boats dotted the picture,
while on the east side Wilson's Point road
was lined with carriages—including one of
Gregory’s best hacks. with the family of
President Hyatt, which unfortunately in the
heat of the excitement, had lost a wheel
on. . t
At the Adelphi’s dock, South Norwalk, a
very large number of passengers were eager-
ly pressing on board as is usual on Monday
mornings, and if any of her usual patrons
‘were missing it was not observablc,except in
one isolated case, our ever-genial friend and
the Norwalk agent of the boat, was “ con-
spicuous for his absence, " and it was later
learned that he had “ gone over to the one-
my " and taken passage to New York in the
opposition Pegasus. This was variously
commented upon. Some avered that “ Bur"
had been “bought off " by President Hyatt
but as Hyatt never purchases his men so far
in advance of election, this idea was not
generally accepted. Others said that “Burr"
had ascertained that the Adelphi had had
her fines all cleaned out Saturday and her
engine newly oiled up and her coal sifted,
and she was bound to reach New York ahead
of the Pegasus, even if she had to set a’ man
on her escape valve lever, and knowing that
he would be that man, and not having his
life insured, and having been such an unmit-
no assurance of his hereafter—had deserted

Adelphi, when if ever, the friends of that
craft were expected to be on hand.) I
inadvertently crept into the management of
the Pegasus. High in air. some thoughtless
tar had flung out the British flag from the
pretty steamer's flag staff. A ‘wild son of
Erin, who acknowledged he was “a Dimme-
crat because that-party was agin’ the Gov-
ernment”—seeipg :this vile emblem of his
native _country’s humiliation—vowad he’d
“schwim to New York before taking a tick-
et in sich a boat as that. Indade, I’d” not if
the ticket they gave me was twice the lingth
of thems they’re seellng now.” The last
seen of Patrick, he was hurrshing for the
\Adelphl (then just emerging around Key-
ser's Island and forging after the new steam-
er like a race horse), and offering ;to bet all
he was worth, that she would reach New
York a half-hour ahead of her new rival.
The two boats, seemed about a mile and a
half apart, on receiving. the customary can-
non salute at Roton Point, and bets were
freely offered and some taken, that the Adel-
phi would reach her dock first. She was
‘gally decorated with flags and loaded with
passengers, going nta rapid pace, when pass-
ing Wilson's Point.
D. S. Curtis has been appointed General
Passenger, Agent and Solicitor for the new
enterprise all along the line of the Danbury
Railroad. A good selection.
RETURNING.
The Adelphi hove in sight, Monday night,
at 23 minutes to 6, and touched her dock at
6 minutes to 6. e Goingfiown, it is said, the
Pegasus passed the Adelphi’s first landing 8
minutes ahead of her. On the return the
Adelphi’s passengers, and there were many
of them, roamed about the depot and were
in ample time for the way train east and the
express train west. The Pegasus train arriv-
ed at 6 23, and _ the boat was 2 hours and 42
minutes from Pier 1 to Wilson Point, where
she arrived at 6 o'clock. Delay in transfer-
ring freight lost consolidated railr )sd con-
nections.

The Iron Steamboat Company’s. Steamer
Pegasus arrived at Wilson Point about 12 m.
on Sunday, and was visited by large numbers
during the afternoon, allof whom. expressed
themselves as fully satisfied with her appear-
ance. The Pegasus is two hundred and
twenty-five feet in length, and about 870 tons
measurement, and is allowed to carry
eighteen hundred and thirty passengers. This
boat is built of iron, has watertight compart-
ments, and draws light, 0 feet 8 inches. ,She
made the trip from Pier 1 North River in two
hours and thirty-eight minutes with only
thirty pounds of steam. She left Wilson
Point at 8 a. m. yesterday morning with sev-
eral hundred passengers. This boat will for
the present run from Pier 1 North River,
touching at foot of 23d street,Esst River,and
is expected to run through the winter.
Norton—Freight by the Pegasus for South
Norwalk and Norwalk, will be sent up by
special train immediately after the leaving of
the passenger train, so that shippers can re-
ceive their freight from New York soon after
0 p. m. The freight for all stations above
Norwalk, on the D. 8r. N. road, will go for-
ward on regular night freight train,and reach
the stations the same night it is shipped from
New York. Norwalk and" South Norwalk
freight for New York will be sent by special
train to the boat, before the arrival of the
down morning passenger train from Danbury.

THE FAI B.
The hard rain of Monday prevented the rg-
ception of articles for exhibition, and threw
everything over into' Tuesday. On that day
the Officers were very busy receiving and ar--
ranging goods in the Exhibition Hall. The
Ball game in the afternoon cams on as an-
nounced, and resulted in a victory for the
Resedpla club of Bridgeport. The race of
the four minute County horses, class 26,
came ed as advertised. Arthur Sherwood’s
“Contest" took the first money, 825; Wm.
Riley's “Cat," $15; and Geo. Gaylord’s "Ed-
ward B." $10._ Time 3:55}; 355%; 3:55.
On Wednesday there was a fair showof
cattle, and of Poultry. The exhibition in
the hall was quite good, but not so large as
at many farmer Fairs. The best department
by far was the Ladies’ Industrial, and this
was quite full and contained many new and
beautiful specimens of ladies’ handiwork.
There were a few old style quilts, etc., but
generally the department embraced a larger
variety cf new designs and excellent work-'
manship than we have ever seen at a County
Fair. The display of vegetables was exceed-
ingly small, with the exception of potatoes
and onions. Apples were also scarce, but
there was a fair show of pears, peaches and
grapes. Peter Guiguc and ,E. B. Jennings
had large displays of plants. In bread, dai-
an average exhibition.
In fine arts the best premiums were taken
by artist T. H. Hope, Miss' M. C. Quintard
and Miss A. L. Hobbie. .1 There were num-
erous carrriagcs, and plenty of sewing
machines and musical instruments. A. H.
Hoyt &. Co. made a good exhibit of boots
and shoes, and F. W. Jaqni of stoves and
ranges. Fred Mead and O. B. DeKlyn de-
sales were apparently large. Farming uten-
sils were shown under a tent. Stanley had
a large space for goods in his line, and Mrs.
Fawcett had a fine case of Milllnery. Heck-
er’s flour men baked and distributed “hot
cakes” to supply a lively demand.
The Howe Band was on the grounds Wed-
nesday and Thursday, and gave concerts
each evening. Wednesday evening the at-
tendsnce' was slim but the hall was well fill-
ed on Thursday evening. Thursday and

was quite large. The races attracted much

arrived here from Europe on Tuesday.
Our community were amused from their
slumbers, early Sunday morning. by hearing
the alarm of fire. It proved to be’in the
premises of the _Old Well Cigar Co., and
broke out in the drying room, where it was
confined, but damage wasdone by water,
variously estimatedfrom 01,000 to $3,000.

It is believed that candidates for the po-

The heavy rainstorm on Monday of last
week was very welcome, but has left some
of our streets in a worse condition than
before. The sand and coal ashes have been
washed into the gutter, the middle of the
streets in many places are new composed en-
tirely of cobbles, and is the only water
course. _
What a pity! As the election approaches
we see it announced that our Mayor and
most of the Councilmen decline a re-election.
This is certainly to be regretted, as we are
assured that, although the majority are Dem-
ocrats, the board has been an exceedingly
economical one. We shall use our influence
and pen to induce them all to reconsider
their premature determination.
Saturday last informed the community that
the new steamboat line, in connection with
the Danbury Railroad, would commence run-

flocked to the Railroad oflce during the af-
ternoon, and Superintendent Sandiforth and
Mr. Scofield were quite busy in answering
'the various questions propeunded about the
fare, whether the amount named, 35 cents,
was from Wilson Point, or South Norwalk.
Many were pleased to know that the fare,
single and excursion, was to be the same as
by the Adelphi. Late in the afternoon arc-
port was current, but was said not to be
authentic, that the White's line were to pu
the Grand Republic on the route, and charge
10 cents for passage. This made the small
fry happy.

for the next fortnight? Isaac Bowe, the
crack car driver, is to be away for the next

Our City Attorney has reported to the

changing the width of the sidewalks on

The old veneering which was put on Main
street, in front of Dibble’s block and Theo-

moved for dock filling. A kind more sub-
stantial has been put on, but the taxpayers
think there is very little ecomomy in spend-
ing money that way.
We give it up. We can‘t find out who
is to be married two or three months ahead,
with any degree of certainty, so we cannot
announce in these columns.

By invitation of Mrs. Treadwell, Presi-
m‘mfidhn‘aiicssa’féciréot,‘nrs7 s. AME.
Clces, President of the Westchester County
W. C. T. U., has held a series of meetings.
for the benefit of the temperance cause, dur-
ing the past ten days in this vicenity. Sat-
urday, Sept. 9th, the Cold Water Army of
Stamford held its first meeting after its sum-
mer vacation. One hundred and thirty-two
children were present and listened to an ad-
dress by Mrs. McClees, accompanied by ex.
periments showing the nature and effects of
alcohol. At the close, the Army marched
through the streets, hearing at the head of
the procession a beautiful blue silk banner
with mottoes in gilt letters. As they passed
he saloons the boys shouted huzzas for tem-
perance and cold water. Sunday afternoon
Mrs. McClees gave an address upon “Bible
Wines " in the Baptist church of Norwalk.
Monday evening a scientific temperance lec-
ture in the Methodist church at South Nor-
walk, subject, “ Water of Life and Water of
Death." Tuesday evening an address at the
rooms of the W. C. T. U. Norwalk, subject,
“Reminiscences of Temperance Work in
New York City.” Wednesday evening ad-
dress to young ladies at the rooms of the
Union, subject, “ Methods of Work, with
details of ‘ Kitchen Garden ’ in which child-
ren are instructed in the art of domestic
wor -”, Thursday evening Mrs. Treadwell
and Mrs. McCiees went to Danbury where
a very successful meeting was held in the
Methodist church. A large audience listened
to her lecture upon “ Bible Wines." Friday
morning a meeting was held before the W.
C. T. U. of Danbury, “ Bible Readings ” on
“Consecration.” Friday evening “ Bible
Readings” to the ladies of South Norwalk
in the Baptist church. Saturday afternoon
addressed the public school children of South
Norwalk. Sunday addressed the Sunday
Schools in the Methodist church and Sun-
day afternoon “Bible Readings” with ad-
dress in the Reformed Association Rooms.
Monday, the 18th, she visits Stamford and
with Mrs. Treadwell aids in organizing a
-W. C. T. U. in Long Ridge. She has made
nearly thirty calls, distributing temperance
literature and talking for the cause. May a
blessing attend the efforts put forth so earn-
estly in the name of Christ. Mrs. McClees’
long experience in the work gives her the
power to stimulate others to go forward and
conquer this gigantic evil. Could the church
he aroused and form one grand army under
the banner of Christ, the battle would soon

Oil and Lime has now, been before the public
twentylyears,and _has steadily grown in favor and
appreciation, This could not be_ the case unless
thepreparatien was of high intrinsic value. The
combination of the Phosphate of Lime with pure
Cod-Liver Oil, as prepared by Dr. Wilbor, has
produced a new phrase in the treatment of 00 n-
sumption and al diseases-of the Lungs. It can
be taken by the most delicate invalid without
creating the disgusting nausea whlch is such an
objection to the Cod-Liver 011 when taken with-
out Lime. It is prescribed by3 the regular faculty.
