Cultivator and wecder, A H
Sherwood,

Your Committee feel that some of the ex-
hibits in this Class, not provided for in the
premium list or not awarded premiums, de-
serve honorable mention.

There are many points about the Bradley
mower which your Committee deem valua-
ble, but not being able to see the machine at
work. can give no intelligent opinion.

R B Bradley 85 Co., of New Haven, made
a fine exhibit, consisting of a full line of
Gale plows, tiger hay rakes, corn drills, po-
tato digger, Planet Jr. ,cultivators, Tuttles’
cultivator and harrow, sulky barrow and
cultivator with seed drill attachment, Thom-
aa' smothing harrow, Perry spring tooth har-
row, and award him a premium of $10.
Butter worker No. 218
Cody creamer No. 210
Dog power No. 223
Swing churn No. 217
Road machines Nos. 920 and 923

Your Committee does not pretend to say
which is best; are sure that the general
adoption of either by any of our towns would
soon work a great improvement in our roads
sad we award a silver medal to both ma-
c lacs.

DISCRETIONARY.

The committee to whom was referred ex-
hibits entered in class "mscsnrmxaux" beg
leave to report that the number of entries
being so much larger than usual, and many
of them of unusual merit, it was found
impossible to give such detailed report as the
exhibits demanded,’in time for reading at
the close of the fair, but trust that their
report willbe in time for publication with
the list of premiums awarded by other com-
mittees.

Screens, fans, and hats exhibited by
made from our domestic birds, includ-
ing the owl, hawk, herring, pigeon, king
fisher, and other birds, were both unique and
beautiful, and fully deserve the award al-
lowed by committee, $1 00

To D. B. Bradley, Jr., for sample of grape
wine and vinegar, some of the latter being
seven years old, and all of the best quali-
ty. 50

The exhibit by “Grecns’ Farms Farmer’s
Club,” including fruits and vegetables, was
worthy of the occasion, and the potatoes es-
pecially were far ahead of any heretofore
shown at our fairs. Dipolma.

One case of druggist sundries entered by
Howard S. Betts, of Norwalk, was well de-
serving the award of the committee, Dip.

To the “Wheeler di Wilson Mfg. Co." of
Bridgeport, for samples of stitching, em-
broidery, quilting, tatting, etc., of superior
workmanship both on the finest textures of
cloth, and leather, as produced by their
machines Nos. 6, 8, and 10, the committee
take pleasure in awarding a silver medal.

The four bottles of vegetables, which
vegetables were grown in the bottles, :en-
tered by Mrs. 0. Mansfield were new to most
of the visitors, and will doubtless induce
others to try and do likewise, 50

The exhibition made by Messrs. Geo. V.
Hecker & Co., of New York city, of their
flour, self-raising flour, farina, Wheaten grits,
hominy, oatmeal, griddle cake flour. baking
powders, and. other preparations of flour and
grits, deserve special mention, and well
deserved the attention given by all attending
the fair. The practical operation of
cooking was closely observed by large
numbers of the visitors, and their griddle
and tea cakes, freely partaken of, and duly
praised by all who ate them. Your cOm-
mittee deem the exhibition worthy of a sil-
ver medal.

The telephone and electrical instruments
exhibited by Elmer N. Lee, of Norwalk,
were much admired, and many for the first
time learned the manner in which the sounds
are conveyed by the use of the telephone,
Diploma.

F. A. Bates, of West Norwalk, 1 pair dec-
orated horns, 50

J. L. Hiltz Jr 00.: made the usual good
display of show cards and rapid lettering.
Diploma awarded last year.

John Prohl, of Winnipauk, for beehive of
novel construction. 50

W. T. Olmstead, of Norwalk, hammock,
made by exhibitor, 50

P. H. Dwyer, of Norwalk, made his usual
excellent show of horse equipments. Diploma
before. awarded.

The exhibit of the “Monumental Bronze
00”., of Bridgeport, of white bronze monu-
ments, statuary, portraits busts, medallions.
etc., is one of real interest to the general
public. and this material bids fair to super-
cede all kinds of stone and metal substances
heretofore used for such purposes, where the
monument or statue is to be exposed to out-
door climate changes. The material used is
the purcst of oxide of zinc, and from long
exposure this material has been found to be
the most enduring of all substances, under-
going but a slight change of color during
the first few months of exposure to the air,
and after that it is claimed, will remain for
ages unchanged and indestructible; and
when the low cost and beauty of the designs
are taken into account, it seems as if their
adoption by the general public, is only a
question of time. Your committee feel that
they would fail in their duty, did they not
recommend the highest prize of the society.
They therefore awasded a com MEDAL.

P. W. Bates, of Norwalk, contributed to
this department two beautiful s ecimens of
crystalline, which were much a mired. ._

Messrs. Raymond Bros, of South Nor-
walk, had in their entries “Weston’s Amer-
ican Medical Horse and Cattle F ,” which
came highly recommended by parties who
have used it, and is claimed to be entirely
free from all poisonous substances.

Mrs. J. Brundage, for a handsomely dress-
ed doll of more than life size, 1 00

Haulenbeek &. Cos. display of house furn-
ishing goods and blacking cabinets, are of
their own manufacture, was worthy of men—
tion, and the committee awarded them a Di-
ploma. .

 

Blood hound eleven months old, and black
pointer three months old, entered by James
Cutty, of Norwalk, were real beauties, and

0 We cheerfully award the exhibitor a Diplo-

ms.

The one hundred and fifty year old “jug,
pitcher and plate," exhibited by Sarah Ar-
nold were valuable relics, and worthy of the
premium awarded. 50

The “Roman Fruit Evaporator" and par-
ing and slicing machine, shown by O. M.
Crosby, of Danbury, deservedly attracted the
attention of all fruit growers, and seems just
the articles wanted in every family who dry
fruits. The steam cooker, has already had
an extensive sale, and seems fully adpapted
for the purpose of economy in cooking, Di-
ploma.

Chas. Williams, of Norwalk, case of stuffed
birds of rare beauty. 1 00

John Harnick, of 79 Chrystee street, New
York, “Warren’s Electric Eradicator,” one
of the numerous soap compounds that are so
freely advertised. seems from several trials
to be a good article for the purpose removing
oily stains from cloth and gloves, Diploma.

Portable forges, circular bellows, and
tuyeres, by John Buyliss, of Stamford, one
of superior quality and design, and with
their use every mechanic and farmer may be
his own blacksmith, Diploma.

The “AMERICAN GARDEN," a monthly il-
lustrated journal devoted ;to the gardening
interests of this country, was represented by
a display of numerous flowers from the
garden of its editor, and your committee
deems notice well deserved. The flowers
comprised many varieties, many of them of
rare beauty . Among the 'more prominent
were the Gladiolus, Isaac Buchanan, Shake-
speare, Appoilo, Due de Melakoif, and an
endless variety of smaller flowers, which
were much admired by all experts in flowers.
The committee award the publisher of the
American Garden a Diploma, and to the edi-
tor thereof, a bronze medal.

F. W. Quitman, of South Norwalk exhibi-
ted a patent Sash Holder, for house, car and
office windows, which supplies a want long
felt. This fastening unlike numerous other
fastening on the cam principle, does not gall
or indent the frames and thus becomes
useless, but being' protected by a rubber
band, holds the sash perfectly in the position
required. They have been in use on cars of
the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad for several
months, and are soon to be applied on other
roads, and dwellings and ofllces, Diploma.

Frank E. Sturges, of Westport, taxider-
mist and naturalist, _ made one of the most
attractive exhibitions in the hall—his show
comprising stuffed animals and birds, many
of the latter being rare and beautiful, Three
cases of ducklings were much admired,as was
the smallest of the specimens the humming
birds. The committee recommended a Di-
plomn.

Your committee find this report perhaps
already too long for publication, but could
not in their opinion do justice to the exhibi-
tors by saying less. .

All of which is respectfully submitted.

W. C. STREET.

The Steam Engine Doomed.

 

Whatever else may survive in the future,
Dr. Siemens is certain that the steam en-
gine is doomed. Its fate is first to be con-
fined to the driving of large dynamo ma-
chines, which will distribute force at pres-
ent supplied by a myriad small and wasteful
steam engines, and then to be superseded
altogether by the gas engine. Gas and elec-
tricity may be mutually hostile, but they are
to unite their forces in order to extirpate
the steam engine. The unpardonahle sin of
the steam engine is that of waste. Even
the beat of them consume two pounds of
coal per horsepower per hour; whereas,
says Dr. Siemens, when the gas-producer
has taken the place of the complex and dan-
gerous steam boiler, it will not take one
pound of coal to develops one horsepower
per hour. But before gas banishes steam it
will supersede coal as the agent for the de-
velopemcnt of steam. A pound" of gas gives
forth exactly twice the heat of a pound of
coal, and even this may be improved upon.
To burn raw coal is to squander our inheri-
tsince. Dr. Siemens gave some startling fig-
ures to prove that the by-products of the
coal annually used in gas making are worth
three millions sterling more than the coal
used in producing them without allowing
anything for the value of the gas. Besides
the products already utilized 120,000 tons of
sulphur are now wasted every year, which
may yet be converted into a source of in-
come. By abolishing the use of raw coal,
Dr. Siemens maintains that science, as with
some magician's wand, will “banish the
black pail of smoke which hangs over our
great cities, and restore to them pure air,
bright sunshine and blue skies.” Nor shall
we even have to suffer as compensation from
the multiplication of enormous gssometers.
The coal will be converted into gas at the
bottom of the mine—a prospect not altogeth-
er to be contemplated without alarm by the
workers in fiery seams—and the gas carried
by pipes wherever it is wanted. Electricity
will also be made largely serviceable for the
distribution of power. Even after allowing
fifty per cent. for loss in transmission, the
gain is still enormous. The electric light
will chiefly be confined to lighting public
places. The gasllght will hold its own as
“the poor man's friend," and gas heating
will become universal. Thus in the near
future Dr. Siemens unfolds before our eyes
a world in which there will be no smoke and
no steam, and where coal will only be visi-
ble in the immediate vicinity of the pit.
Electricity will light our streets, gas will
cook our dinners, and driving power will be
laid on by wire wherever it is wanted. There
will be no pollution of rivers, for every
waste product will be utilized, and the sul-
phurous fumes which have converted whole-
counties into scenes of desolationtwill be
employed in making the wilderness to bios.
som as the rose, and in restoring fertility to
our exhausted soil. In short, science at last
will begin to banish all the manifold
abominations by which the “black age”
of manufactures has defaced the beauty
of our land. It is not before time—Pall
Mall Gazette.

The reappearance of Mr. Conkling’s old
rival, ex-Gov. Fenton, as a delegate to the
state convention in favor of Mr. Wadsworth
will bean event of some interest in New
York politics. Now that Gov. Cornell has
broken with his old partners. and Gen. Ar-
thur's position will prevent him from taking
an active part, there is no one in the stalwart
faction who is at all a match for the wily ex-
Governor as a manager. For the work of
forming combinations beforehand, or attend-
ing to the parlor manigement of a conven—_
tion after it assembles, Mr. Fenton has few
equals. He reduced wirepulling to a science
in New York, 'and elevated machine work-
ing into an art. It will be a new illustra-
tion of the truth of the proverb that “poll-
tics makes strange bedfellows,” to see Gov.
Fenton, "Lo" Sessions, George William
Curtis and Ellis H. Roberts working togeth-
er to defeat the nomination of Judge Folger
for Governor. It is a high mix in New
York all around. -

Nantucket is not alone in keeping up an
old institution like that of a town-crier, and
we are glad to have such worthy neighbors
as the sturdy seamen of Marblehead to keep
us in countenance. On Friday the 8th inst.,
the day after the President left us, he took
the Marbleheaders entirely by surprise, as
they had no intimation of his intention to
visit them. When it was announced that
the Dispatch with the Presidential flag flying
was already in the hay, the services of the
Marblehead Clark were at once called into
requisition in rallying the people to do lion-
or to the distinguished visitor, and to expe-
dite matters, all the balls in town were rung
as if for a general fire alarm. The response
was quick and hearty, and the citizens of
the old towa, including the crier, did their
whole duty to the country, as they had al-
ways done before—Nantucket Mirror.

SYMPTOMS OI" A DISEASE!) LIVER.
Bad Breath; Pain in the Side, sometimes the
sin is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for
heumatlsm: general loss of appetite; Bowcls
generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, is dull and heavy,
with consrdcrablc loss of memory, accompanied
with a painful sensation of leaving undone something
which ought to have been done; a slight, dry cough
and flushed face is sometimes an attendant, often
mistaken for consum tion; the patient complains
of wcariness and dcbi ity: nervous, easily startled;
feet cold or burning, sometimes :i prickl sensation
of the skin exists; spirits are low and cs ondent,
and, although satisfied that exercise would benc-
fimal, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
fly it—in fact, distrusts every remedy. Several
o the above 5 toms attend the discme, but cases
have occurrc w on but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged.

 
 
 

It should be used by all persons, old and
young, whenever any of the above
symptoms appear.

The Little Bridge.

'——

They parted on the little bridge
Which spans the running water,

The bright-eyed youth with fluent tongue.
And she—the yeoman’s daughter.

A few fond words, a stolen kiss,
A little golden trinket,

’Twas all; but that his heart could change
She did not dare to think it.

2

lIe journeyed to bright Southern lands

Where tropic skies bent o'er him,
And wooed blind Fortune till she cast
A shower of gold before him.

Then Fame took up her trumpet, tuned
To sound his praise in story,

For much that to his life belonged

Was what the world called glory.

A ribbon marked his high degree,
His name had'added letters,
And not on him was any sign

Of life’s more galling fetters.

The maiden’s path lay toward the north -
She toiled for daily guerdon, ,
And meekly bore her low estate,

Nor felt her task a burden.

Till hope deferred her spirit broke,

And thorns seemed springing round her -
And thoughts that once were purest joy, ,
Had only power to wound her.

A poor old maid with fading cheek
Tolls on from early morning,

With scanty thanks, and little praise,
And oft times heartless scorning.

And yet sometimes she sees the bridge,
And hears the river flowing,

When memory lifts the shroud of years,
The dead past calmly showing.

And sometimes be, in idle mood,
'Mid silence all unbroken,

Just wonders if the bridge still stands
Where their last words were spoken.

The little bridge still lightly spans
The rippling, running water;
But no bridge spans the gulf ’twixt him
And her, the yeoman’s daughter!

FLASH.

 

 

The Fireman’s Story.

 

WILL CABLBTON.

 

Flash was a white-foot sorrel, an’ run on
NO. 3;

Not much stable manners—an average horas
to see ;

Notional in his methods—strong in loves sn'
hates;

Not very much respected, or popular ’mongst
his mates ;,

Dull an’ moody an’ sleepy on “of!" an' quiet
days;

Full of turb’lent sour looks, an' small sarcas-
tic ways;

Scowled an' bit at his partner, an' banged the
stable floor—

With other tricks intended to designate life
a bore.

But when, be't day or night time, he heard
the fire alarm-bell ring,

He’d rush for his place in the harness with a
regular tiger spring;

An’ watch with nervous shivers the clasp of
buckle an’ band,

Until it was plainly ev’dent he'd like to lend
‘ a hand.

An’ when the word was given, away he
would rush an' tear,

As if a thousan' witches was rumplin’ up his
hair,

An’ wake his mate up may with its magnet-
ic charm;

For every‘hooflbeat sounded a regular fire
alarm!

Never a horse a jockey would worship sn'
admire

Like Flash in front of his engine, a-racin'
with a fire:

Never a horse so lazy, so dawdlin‘, sn’ so
slack

As Flash upon his return trip, a-drawin' the
engine back.

Now, when the different horses get tendon
footed an’ old

They ain't no use in our business ; so Flash
was finally sold

To quite a respectable milkman : who found
_ it not so fine .
A-bossin’ of God's creatures outside 0’ their
reg’lar line. ,

Seems as it I could see Flash a-inopin’ along
here now,

A-feelin’ that he was simply assistant to a
cow.

But sometimes he’d imagine he heard the
alarm-hell’s din,

An’ jump an’ rear for a minute before they
could hold him in.

An' once, in spite 0’ his master, he strolled

in ’mongst us chaps,

To talk with the other horses, of former flres
perhaps; '

Whereat the milkman kicked him ; wherefor
us boys to please, '

He begged that horse’s pardon upon his bend-

ed knees.

But one day, for a big fire as we wasT
makin’ a dash, A'
Both 0’ the horses we had on somewhat rec
sembling Flash,

Yellin' sn’ ringin’ an' rushia', with excellent
voice an' heart,

We passed the poor old fellow, a-tuggin'
away at his cart.

If ever I see an old horse grow upwards into
a new,

If ever I see a driver whose traps behind him
flew,

’Twas that old horse, a rompin’ an’ rushin'
down the track,

An’ that respect able milkman, a-tryin’ to hold
him back.

Away he dashed like a cyclone for the head
of No. 3,

Gained the lead an’ kept it, an' steered his
. journey free;

Dodgin' the wheels an' horses, an’ still on

the keenest “silk,"

An’ furnishin' all that district with good re-

spectable milk.

Crowds a-yellin'an' runnin' an' -
‘ in', “W11“! 1" , vainly holler

Milkmen bracin' an' sawin’, with never a bit

. of show;

Firemen laughin’ an' chucklin'. an’ hollerin',
"Good! go in l"

Hose ar 31? down to it, an' sweepln' along
1 s it.

Finally come where the fire was, halted with
a "thud,”
Sent the respectable milkman heels over head
W t bulimil’i‘ii l. h
a c e l e see t e en '

workin’ ihere— gine properly

After glob herelinquished all interest in the
fill‘. ,

Moped an’ wiltedau' dawdled—faded away
once. more;
Took lip) his old occupation of votin’ life a
re ~ '

Laid down in his harness, and—sorry I am

to say— —
The milkman he had drawn there drew his
dead body away.

That’s the whole’ 0’ my story; I've seen,

morc’n once or twice,

That poor dumb animals’ actions are full of

_ human advice;

An’ if you ask what Flash taught, I simpyl
answer you, then,

That poor old horse was a symbol of some

 

intelligent man.
