For Another’s Sin.
“He has fine abilities, he is strictly up-
right, and a thorough gentleman, " the people
of Stothtcwn had evened of. _ If Knight;
And beatiful women” had smil 1 their sweet.
out when ht was near, and 1 good men hid
felt honored by his fellowship.
But this plefisant appreciation was some-
how lessened after Horace Walden came
back to lho pldco.
This individual had. been traveling for a
season, and had returned to take permanent
possession of a noble property that he had
purchased a few years before. ‘ He was 0
handsome man, young, brilliant, geniakand
was regarded-as a flattering acquisition to
the more exclusive society of the pretty,
prosy old town. For mistress of his elegant
mansion he had chosen the loveliest lady in
the place—Clara Thayer—a fair, stately
creature, whose fancies perhaps" had been
but dazzled by the fascinations of the lover,
for a time had come when the jealous and
unreasoning love of the promised husband
was to her a regret and a weariness unutter-
able.
She was not inconstant, for he had never
aroused her heart. He had appealed to her
vanity, to her fondness for the splenders and
gaycties of life; but no sentiment of his had
over stirred or satisfied the higher needs and
deeper sympathies of her nature. And now
that she had a better knowledge of him and
of herself, she discerned something beneath
the polish and sauvity of the man that was
to her as distasteful as it was indefinable.
The girl had become singularly serious
and thoughtful, and she was less unreserved
toward him than she had been when they
first betrothed ; while he, ever prone to the
. suspicious, was swift to conjecture that she
had been estranged by some influence hos-
tile to himself.
“She is not the same toward me." he
thought in ready jealousy. “ I doubt not
that while I have been away Rolf Knight
has robbed mo of her confidence and affec-
tion. She has ever been inclined to extol
his pcrfcctious, and none but he has the
power to turn her heart from me."
It so happened that a subtle rumor began
to obtain some dubious consideration in
Stothtown. 'Intimations not creditable to the
career of Rolf Knight had been cunningly
disseminated, and he began to suifcr the
thrusts of deadly enmity before he was
aware that he had a foo. Men who had
sought his companionship seemed to avoid
him; women who schemed for his favor
seemed politely unconscious of his presence
when he chanced to meet them.
But he went his way with a sufficient ser-
enity, and if the envenomed shaft struck
deep, hc bore the pang with philosophic for-
titudc.
‘ ‘ I wonder at the follow‘s audacity, " Horace
Walden once remarked to Clara. “I should
not suppose he would venture to present
himself among reputable people ; especially
here, when I, at least, know what his past
has been. The efirontery with which he
would how come between you and me is
something amazing." he concluded tenta-
tively.
The girl looked up in wonder, and her
fair face flushed from brow to chin.
” I scarcely understand," she falter-ed
coldly.
"Do you not i" he returned with a jarring
little laugh. “ Deuials are absured, Clara ;
his admiration of you has been too obvious;
and I fancy he meant to take your love from
me, cVen if he may not have absolutely said
cvel things of me to you." .
“He is too truly a gentleman to speak ill
of you ; and certainly he would not of you—
his fricnd;" Clara answered gently, meaning
neither satire nor reproach.
“I am sorry I am compelled to spoil your
illusions concerning him," Walden enunci-
ated with a harsh chuckle ; “ but unfor-
tunately Rolf Knight is but recently out of
prison. '1
The girl started, and then stood as motion-
less as an image in marble, and to a marble
pallor poled the equisite fairness of her
lovely features. That hateful assertion was
too blunt and daring to be all untruth! and
yet it seemed incredible that Rolf Knight had
ever committed a heinous offense. She had
believed him superior to human errors, and
her faith in that superiority could not be
spoiled by even this declaration, shocking as
it might be. He had been to her the ideal of
all that is endearing and noble in manhood ;
and in that instant Clara Thayer knew that
she loved him as she could never love the
man beside her. But this abrupt realization
of her disloyalty was very humiliating ; this
sudden co ) iousncss of a love that might
bring her 2111th but sorrow was very, very
bitter. She felt stricken and bewildered,
and could only stand there, white and mute,
her at] head bowed, and every nerve
quivering with the pcrpluxity, and mortifica
tion, and pain of it all. Meanwhile her coin
panion keenly mhéd her; a scnwl «lisng.
axed his oontenance : a dull, deadly jealousy
’smoldcrcd in his attentive eyes.
“Rolf Knight is a Wot,” be repeated
with opunaeoossary emphasis of the odious
subsmuuvb. “ A felon among felons, within
1315011 walls, he served his sentence. paid the
penalty for—."
He paused as if mitten dumb, and with a
mavcmeut unmistakably craven, he took a
step backward. His incomplete explanation
was finished by Rolf Knight who, unseen
and unheard in the excitement of the col-
loqay, had but a moment before approached
them.
“I paid the penalty for anothcr's sin," he
said in a calm but accusing voice. “ And
you, Horace—you whom I lovod as a brother
-you f6": whose sake I sullen-ed undeserved.
shame-would meanly traduco me. Your
ingratitudc has taught me that the man who
will permit such a sacrifice as I made, is the
man who cannot be worthy of it. Your iu-
grntitude has convinced me that to longer
bear the blame of your offence would be
weakness cowardice, madness. I have dc~
tormined to justify myself ; and first to you.
Clara, you of all others who have most es-
teemed me." he said turning to her with a
look, eloquent of the tenderness and rever-
ence he had always felt. to her. " Do you
adjudge me guilty 9" .
Withu glancc’pathetic, of infinite trust
andinefiabla'sympathy, she lifted her sweet
eyes {Aids countenance—a countenance that
" was majestic in its masterly composure.
"No, I do not." she averted simply.
“I thank you," he said quite as simple.
“You Ihdlie my painful explanation less
diflcult it: me." '
Then for a moment while a gleam of more
than human pity softened his gaze of human
contempt, he silently regarded his ungcncr-
ous foe.

"All our lives, Horace," he at length be.
gun with deep fooling, . I‘ you and I lived
together like brothers. Your uncle was like
a father to me ; you to him were dearer than
. a son. He had neither wife nor child, nor
any living creature of his kin to sharo the
affection that he gives to you. ‘. You were his
pride, his hope, his all. But he was a stern
man in his way, and a just. Had be known
you as you were, profiigatoand prodigal, he
would never have allowed you to inherits
one farthing of his wealth But you bid
your vices well; and I, in my blind attach-
ment for you, too often shielded you from
his suspicions."
The denounced man frowned, with a gos-
ture of impatience, but seemed too abashcd
to utter any sort of contradiction.
"Then came his mortal sickness," con-
tinued Rolf, “and your shameless offence.
In the deep midnight, like a common thief,
you skulked into his chamber, and, even
while the shadow of death was nearing the
old man who loved and trusted you, rifled
his safe forafew hundred paltry dollars.
You would have been detected hadInot
recklessly assumed the role of a robber, in
my ann‘ety to abet your flight from the
apartment. I attempted not the slightest
refutation of the accusations made against
me, although I could have fully and easily
vindicated m sea. asyon are aware. Had
the truth ' knoWnto your the... rela-
live, you would have béen exited ; and
therefore. fdr our sake, I main ed the
reticonce that sinned me. We were in ,
a strange city, ob"; people who _ , cw little
ofns, and less,anday '01th
my lifedld not teem too much to give that
my bestbeloved friend might not forfeit a
fortune. I never apprehended that
you might become my enemy and a relent-
less defamer. You, allowed me to wrong
myself for you, Holoce, and yen have used
that wrong to defame me among honorable
men by whom I have been honored. And I
claim now the justice that, pérhapé you are
unaware, roan secure if I choose."
“I fancy few people will credit your pre-
posterous story,” the other cheered.
" There is one whose testimony none will
disbelicv’c,” Rolf announced, slowly ; “one
witness—your uncle’s faithful old physician.
—-who knew you better than I, and whose
friendly interposition I can command when-
ever I deem such an cgtremity advisable."
His manner was significant, but he meant
a warning rather than a threat perhaps.
But evidently Horace Walden was persuaded
that the man who had been so generous a
friend would be a victorious antagonist.
Yet, as if more in deliberation than submis-
sion, he haughtily inclined his head, then
turned, and without a word, walked thought-
fully away.
.But before the next rising of the sun he
had gone from Stethtown, to come back
nevcrmore, even to the girl, whom, wild and
wicked as he had ever been, ho had loved
well in his way.
And after a becoming time Rolf Knight
went to fair Clara, and begged her to listen
to his words of wooing.
“ I always felt, Clara, that you were to be
my wife," he said to her. “ I should have
been less lenient toward poor Horace, only
my great love for you seemed very liken
wrong to him."
”And I loved you from the first," she con-
fessed, sweetly. “ lifter I had met you, I
knew I had never really cared for him. "
And fair Clara's husband is as happy and
esteemed as if he had never endured sorrow
and penance for unothcr’s sin.

WHERE THE TIN CANS GO.
A Montana correspondent of the Chicago
Inter-Ocean says; "We noticed some of
their low log cabins about the outskirts were
neatly roofed with tin. We were told the

strangers go about the streets and backyards
and pick up every can which has been thrown

THE STORY on A FIDDLE.
Charles Reade tells a tale of the romance
of fiddle-dealing. There wasa certain precious
Violoncello at Madrid. It was a genuine
Stradluarius. The local maker, ono Ortega,
had put in a new belly and sold it, keeping
the Old belly in his shop. M. Chauot, ” the
best judge of violins left, now Tarisio is
gone," hted upon the old belly and bought
it: T ' _ tlien discovered it, and poster“;
Cbapot dntil be mild it for a thousand francs,
ahd'_§gld*liim where the remainder of the
fiddle waffle be found. The owner was
persuaded to part with it for 4,000 francs,
and Tarislo started cxultant for Paris with
the Spdnish bass in a case. He never let it
out of his sight. The pair were caught by
a storm in the Bay of Biscay. The slii p
rolled; Tarisioclasped his bass and trembled.
It was a terrible gale, and for one whole day

it to me with a shudder. I will give you his
fool words, for they struck me at the time,
and I have ften thought of them since.

A CHINESE BURIAL
Anoricntal writer has recently given an
interesting description 'of an ancient burial
in the Chinese Empire. It was the custom
for the wealthy man to procure his coffin
whoahc reached the age of forty. He would
then have it painted three times a year with
a composition resembling selicate paint or
enamel, which formed an cxcccdingly hard
coating. The process of making this paint
is now one of the lost arts of China. If the
owner lived long enough, the frequent
painting—each coat being of considerable
thiclmess—caused it to assume the appear-
ance of a sarcophagus, with a foot or more
in thickness of this hard, stone-like shell.
After death the veins and cavities of the
person's stomach were filled with quick-
silver for the purpose of preserving the
body. A piece of judo would then be placed
in each nostril, and. in one hand, while a
piece of bar silver would be placed in the
other hand. The body thus prepared was
placed on slayer of quicksilver within the
coma; the latter was sealed, and the whole
deposited in its final resting place. When
some of these sarcophagi were opcncd after
centuries, the bodies were found to be per-
f. ctly preserved, but they quickly crumbled
to dust on being exposed to the air.

Says the Franklyn (Ky) Faroritc: The
only hog that was over soon in this country
with along horn growing out of the top of

grows so does the knot, and it is now of con.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
Two Days of Bad Weather, but a flood Indoor
Exliihltlon—Glimpses of Some of the Sights—
Thc Trotting and other Attractions.
The Fairficld county fair had a fair tiny
for its opening on Tuesday, but being the
first day there was only a fair alter-dance.
Everybody who had entered articles for
exhibition, and those in charge of the «lil-
fcrcnt classes, were kept busy all day get-
ting the exhibits in proper position, and
by night a very fine and varied display
was the result. Refreshment tents Were
pitched, the savory oyster stew prepared,
and a number of side shows and catch-
p'cnny' eontrivances began operations, and
the wheel of fortune to revolve.
The trolling on the first day was will -
out inlercst, and not over two dozen peo-
ple occupied seats on the grand elund.
'l‘la re were only two starters in the four
minute class. Fritz entered by E E Ray-
mund of New Cannon and Topsy by Mun-
son lloytof Norwulk. Topsy halluodif-
ficnlty in a inning the race in three slraighl
heats. Time, 3:11, 3:59‘74’. 3:07. Prof.

porl, easily won the 3:30 race, JOSf'pll W.
Ichhiugs’ Lady Finch of Westport lwing
second, and 'l‘. H. Manson's 'l‘nmnlu
Maid of Bridgeport third. Time. 2:53,
2:55, 2:55.

between the. South Norwalk Grays and
the Good . Lacks of Winnipnnk; and a
good sized emu-(i Watched the game. It
was very out ~Sl|ii1l Iinlll Ihc last inning
when the Grays ballad so clfcctivr-ly as to
pile up lcn runs, and the Good Lucksuhly
won by lhrec runs, the score standing 20
to 17 in their favor.
There was no competition for lhu purse
offered for base laying and running. The
only companies to enter were Hope llnse
of Norwalk and Putnam Hose of South
Norwalk, and the latter backed out at the
last moment. The Hope boys ilppi‘lll'ul on
the ground in the afternoon at the appoinl-
0d time but found no competitors.
covanson’s DAY.
A drizzling rain that Continued all day
interfered with the carrying out of the

vented many thousands of people from
Coming to calch a glimpse of Gov. Waller,
who kept his engagement (ll-spite the
storm. His i-xccllcncy reached the fair
grounds liulwecn 1 and 2 p. m., being
brought firm the depot in a carriage
drawn by four of Dunn‘s roan horses
which made a fine team. He was accom-
panied by Commissary General Manlen,
and his senior aide, Col. N. G..Osbnrn,llic
two officers bring in uniform, and in the
carriage was also Major D. M. Road of
Bridgeport. At the entrance the dinin-
gulshcd pally was met by Secrclaiy Shel-
ton and wore escorted to President [icy t’s
tent in the centre of the grounds by the
St. Augustine hand of Bridgeport. At
the lent the governor was cordially we]-
comcd by the plesidcnl and several of the
directors of the society, after which an
elegant banquet was served, F. E. l’nllcr‘
son of Bridgeport bring the caterer, with
colored waiter W. 11. Brown in attend-
anec. After being duly refreshed Gov.
' Waller and staff were shown through the
exhibition building by President Hoyt,
and were presented to many of the gen-
tlemen in the gathering which numbered
about 500. The genial governor observed
to lhc GAZETTE rcprescntativu: "l sup
pose the papers will state that there would
have been 10,000 people present had it not
been for the min.” This remark was
overheard by Mr. Wheeler of Snugatuck,
wlo replied, “Oh, the Faiifield county
papers will say that 10,000 people greeted
the govL-rnor, anyhow." After having
been shown all the principal exhibits the
governor was conducted to the band stand
by Mr. Hoyt who said he had prevailed
upon Mr. Waller lo address a few Words
to the audience as he knew they would
like to hear from him. He then intro-
duced Gov. Waller, who began by saying
ing that it gave him exceeding great pleas
arc to mtet some of the representative
men of Fairfield county who are interest-
ed in farming, the earliest and most use
ful of the occupations of civilized life.
The farmer's festival he considered had a
happy influence on tho husbandman, and
why should he not make an ex hibillon of
his success as well as the artist or the
sculptor? He expressed regret that the
fair should have such an inauspicious
opening on account of inclement wealhcr,
but we should devoutly thank God for
the blessed rain which was so greatly
needed. He didn’t believe there were
critics in this State so severe as to accuse
this administration of being responsible
for the bad weather. The governor said
that he had renewed his friendship with a
number who had met him‘20 years ago,
which cunsulhiln to realize that age is
coming over us all, but the lime would
never come when he shouldn’t remember
the cordialily, courtesy and attention that
had been extended to him on this occa-
sion. He concluded with the remark:
“When you are relieved from the presence
of a governor 1 hope you will also be re-
lievcd of bad weather, and that during
the remaining days of Ike fair this place
will be Ihrongcd." The governor and
suite soon alter left the grounds and were
driven to the residence of Hon. Jonathan
E. Wheeler in Snugatuckavherc they were
most bospitnbl y entertained.
The visit of Gov. Waller was the only
feature of the (lay, the trolling being dc-
ferred lo the following day, and the pro-
incnade concert to Thursday evening.
The band played at intervals during the
altcl'noon,'which. was the only diverticu-
mcnt for the limited crowd in attendance.
The sideshows and refreshment tents had
but little patronage, and the wheel of for-
tune was almost motionless.
'1‘an DAY.
The continued inclement weather on'
Thursday caused the managers of the fair
to further continue the trotting events and
other attractions lo Friday and Saturday,
but the exhibition building was open and
the attendance numbered about 800, in-
cluding a larger sprinkling of ladies than
on any prt-ceding day. Those who want
expecting to be entertained by trotting
gathcrcd'abont the catch-penny concerns,
and either lost what they invested or came
out a little ahead. The sideshow men
also did considerable business.
A GLANCE AT THE xxnimrs.
In some respects the show in tho exhi-
bition building is in advance of former
displays, and in others not so good. There
is a very numerous and attractive display
of bed spreads and quills, but the Pluci—
menu of works of art are limited. Tim
show cases devoted to exhibits of hulk-3'
handiwork and fancy articles are vet-ll
filled, and there are many things to excite
admiration. In fioricnlturo a beautiful
exhibit is made by Peter L. Guigue of
Norwalk, who shows 400 potted and (x-
otic plants, 12 :vnr'aiies of ferns, 370 va-
rieties of cut flowers, 12 of roses, and
other floral bcaulics. E. It. Jennings of
Westport is well represented by potted
plants, ctc.,and John Dallas of Fairfiold is
another floral exhibitor. In the veg-inhu-
department E. ll Jennings hash collection
of 90 varieties, there being .25 dillcrcnt
‘kinds of potutm a. Amzi Waters shows
14 varieties of llolalfltfi, Eli Osborn
of Georgetown shows Queen Set-d-
llag potatoes, 42 lo the bushel and weigh
lag 61¢pounds, and Mr. Sherwood of
Greenfield Hill a bushel of mammoth
Early Rose grown from small seed hardly
considered worth blunting. This geatlc~
man also raised 40 cltrons from (no vine.
four of them being on exhibition, and 14
line pumpkins from one vine. The char
actor of the apples on exhibition is suffi-
cient evidence that this is a bad season for
that kind of fruit, but pears show up well,
especially 15 varieties of splendid oncs
shown by F. 8. Lyon of South Norwalk,
11.13. Wakeman showa‘ 18 varieties of
firm peaches, and five kiadsuf grapes. A‘
striking and well arranged exhibit of all
kinds of vegetables, fruit, grain, etc., is
made by the Wilton Farmer’s club, and
the Green's Farms agriculturlsts divide
attention with'lhcm, and show corn in
the stalk 15 feet high. Austin Jennings,
of Green’s Farms, W. J. Finch of West-
port and J. H. Sherwood of Southport
have an excellent showing of onions, the'
display in this line being large. Miss E.
B. Grumman of Branchvillc can justly
take pride in an exhibit of 27 jars of pro-
served (nuts, and the collection of bread,
coke, etc" is nicely act of! by a honey
comhpyramld of butler, the handiwork
of Mir. J. rl‘wmmey ol Smth W’iltoa.
As no names are attached to the various
articles on exhibition the reporter was at a
disadvantage in attempting to make men
tinny! all the things worthy of it, for life
is hiu short to copy the number on each
exhibit in the Iadics’ industrial depart-
ment and then ascertain the name of
each at Hit-secretary’s office. The ladies
will understand by this explanation why
tln-ir nnmu-s do not embellish this general
description of the fair. They are well
represented, and their efforts are by no
means the least interesting portion of the
exhibition. 0
Asnsaalnl all fairs various kinds of
sewing machines are exhibited and their
merits and superiority described by agents
while'dillercnt kinds of pianos and organs
are open in be tried by musicians who are
so inclined, and when not in use those in
charge display their qualities. Three
candy kitchens furnish any amount of
sweetness, and are run by Stanley and
Mead of Norwalk and Patterson of Bridge-
port, nhd there are other confectionery
stands. Road of Bridgeport makes an
extensive display of carpets, shirts and
dry goods; A. H. lleyt of Nor-walk has
a fine showing of boots aml shoes, and 1’.
Li. Dwyor harnesses, saddles, etc Man-
ager Lee of the Norwalk telephone office
will show and explain all the appamlus
connected with tho "hello transmitter,"
and F. E. Sturges of Westport has a tax-
crdermlst collection worth stopping to
look at. Occasionally a sharp and shill-
ling explosion is heard, which comes from
theSurL-ty Burglar alarm and sash and
door fastener,thc working of which is being
explained. One other attraction in the
building which is not passed by unnoticed
is a cage of six cute ’possums. -
The poultry show consists of 05 pairs
of fowls and 33 pairs of pigeons. The
(owls are of the most choice quality, the
principal exhibitors being Edgar Buttery
of New Canaann, J. H. Seeley of Bridge-
port, and F. W. Guodaleof Danbury. R.
and H. .Wilson show the largest collection
of pigeons.
John N. Ferris of Stamford showed 7
yoke of oxen, llull Kcelcr of Ridgt-fieltl
2, William Meeker of Wcsiport, and
Fred Bronson 1 each. The cattle exhib-
ited were pronounced the finest over soon
at this or any other fair in the Slate. A

sheep by S. J. Taylor of Westport. W.
W. Smith of Wilton showed a mare and
coil: and stallion, Charles llorton of Wil-
ion pair of road horses, Joseph Jennings

Founru DAY.
The fair on Friday was favored with a
fine day, and people flocked to the grounds
in vehicles and by rail in such numbers
that in the afternoon fully 3,000 were
present. A large array of carriages
lined on either side of the track from
the entrance to the judges’ stand, and the
grand stand was about half filled with
spectators. The ball game divided atten-
tion with the trotting, and the exhibition
buifding was throngcd during the after-
noon. Thc big snakes,mnscum curiosities
and the other side issues received consid—
erable attention. In fact the grounds
presented an animated appearance and in
marked contrast to the preceding days
when the dismal weather made the attend-
ance small and the fair a dull affair. The’
St. Augustine band played on the grand
stand and further enlivened the day.
The trotting opened with the three min
ule class, which had three starters, Prof.
Medium, entered by John Hard of Strait
ford, Isol‘ine by J. H. Lewis of Stratfurd
and Topsy by Manson Hoyt of Norwalk.
Isolinc won in three straight heats, Prof.
Medium being second, and Topsy third.
Time, 2:44, 2:48, 2:48. In the 2:50 race
throc‘ horses started, but Kate, entered by
S. M. Newman of Mianus, Was distanced
in the first heat. W W. Smith’s Clay-
land of Brooklyn won, William Riley’s
Nigger of Mianus taking second money.
Time, 2:40;, 2.41, 2:42.
The race to excite the most interest was
the 2:27, which was not all one sided.
There Were three contestants; the first
heat was taken byle. Barton’sEmma C.
of New York, the second by J. S.;Brown’s
Nellie Bryant of Westerly, R. 1., the
third by Wm. Haggerty’s Josephine S. of
Scranton, Penn, and the latter won the
two decisive heats. There was a tie be-
tween Emma C. and Nellie Bryant for
“Sound money and second and third money
was divided between them. Time, 2:31,
2:34, 2:34, 2:35, 2:34.
The judges were W. J. Finch (slarter)
of Westport, A. W. Williams and J. D.
Smith of Stamford; timers J. D. Smith
and W H. Fishcmlic latter of New Yuri;
clerk of the course, M. W. Wilson of
Westport.
In the base ma match the Good Locks
of Winnipank showed that they were
again lnnunicli for the South Norwulk
Grays, the score standing 25 to 10 in their
favor.
The postponed promenade conceit was
held last cvoning, and the fair will be
continued io-(lay. The programme will
include three races and the reading of the
premiums awarded.

the Week at Camp Waller.
The Fourth regiment reached Camp
Waller at 12:30 on Monday, that and the
Fifth battalion being the last to arrive.
The regiment mustered 490 men, being in
companies as follows: Company A,

pany F, Norwalk, 57; Company G.
Dunbury, 61; Company I, Win-ted,

The third day of camp life opened with
a drizzling min storm and Camp Waller
presented a dreary appearance. The only
duty that was done was guard mounting
lock place with the usual ceromonicswhich
in spite of the storm. The men appeared
in full uniform with overcoata. General
Smith soon after issued orders suspending
the routine of camp duty. and the boys
were allowed lo amuse‘ihomselvcs the
best they could. A good many of them
improved the opportunity of catching
a few hours sleep. The night before
several of the membersof the Fourth
were out “skylarking” and they thought
they would interview enact the sentiacls.
“Halt! Who goes there i” came the com
mand of the sentinel. “Grand rounds,”
was the answer. =‘ “What’s the counter-
sign ?” “Bottle, bottlc,|wliosc got the
bottle ?" Advance, sergeant of the grand
rounds, and “draw the atopple."
There was “War in Flanders" on
Thursday, the sham battle having been
poslponcd from Wednesday on account
of the storm. The men before. proceeding
to the scene of action were furnished
with rations and canteens of coffee. The
Third regiment and one section of the
Battery marched up on the east side of
the river while the First, Second and
Fourth regiments with the Fifth battalion
and the other section of the Battery with
General Smith and stall? marched up on
the west. Upon 'nrri-vlng at the scene of
action General Smith drew :4) his men
for batik: anilopcmdfirc llpéfilllc enemy. -
After a sharp: engagement 0 over three
hours they crossed the bridge over the
Niaulic liver and succeeded in capturing
the enemy about one o’clock. During
the engagement Richard 11. Clark of
Clinton, a member of Battery A, had his
right hand blown off by the premature
discharge of a cannon which he was en-
gugcd in loading. The shattered arm was
amputated. ,
The New Haven Register says: “The
haltlc was conceded by all eye witnesses
to have [been {a master work, reflecting
at once credit on the conductor of it and
upon General Coach's taste in desiring
such an exhibition put forward. General
Conch was highly pleased with it.”

Licut. Smith of Co.F was olllccr of the
guard on Thursday. ‘
Major Watson was Wounded in the leg
in the cngagcmcnl at Flanders.
Co.F went into camp with 57 men,
leaving only three members at home.
Drum Major Flynn of the Fourth has
thclougcstlcgs of any drum major in
camp, and naturally takes the longest
stops.
At the regimental guard mount ' on
Tuesday, the Fourth regiment was the
first to get out and the first to complete
this duty.
The ”Tip Top Gulcp.” composed by
Supt. Stevenson of the Consolidated'roml,
has been played by all the bands, and has
met with great favor. _ .
Messrs. North 85 Benedict of South
Norwalk were on tlzc ground with their
instantaneous process camera and took
several views, and photoamphed General
Coach in full uniform-
Presldent Arthur had to decline Gov.
Wallcr’a invitation to visit the camp on
account of the death of Hugh J. Hastings,
editor of the New York Commercial Ad-
acrti'ser, whose funeral he is to attend.
“Boston” While, the young negro, who
was'suspecicd of murdering Rose Clarke
Ambler in Siratlord, is in camp as a mem-
ber of Company C of Bridgeport, Fifth
battalion. and has been as big a gun as
General Smith. '
The Norwich Bulletin says that Gov.
Waller has made such. rapid progress in
sitting in a saddle that it is safe to say
that no wearer of the cockade since Gov-
ernor Buckingham has presented a more
pleasing spectacle on horseback than Gov-
ernor Waller will show on general training

The 17th Roglment’s Gettysburg Monument.
Al the last reunion ofihc 17th regiment,
a committee was appointed to secure the
erection of amouumcnt‘ on the bank-field
of Gettysburg, in honor of the heroic
dead of that regiment who gave their
lives for their country in that terrible
contest of July 151, 261ml 3d, 1803. The
committee have prepared a. circular call-
ing upon the survivingmcmben for sub»
scriptions tn the “Monument Fund,”a
copy of which will be mailed to those
whose address isknovm by the secretary
of the association, and it is especrally

Ilow Watch Cases are Made.
In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout! The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should he made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accummnlatc in the pocket. The
Keystone Silverll’atch i 'zwcs are only made
with silver caps aml'gold joints.

Does anyone care aught for Father?
Does anyone think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders
The cares of the family come ? ,
The Father who cares for our comfort
And toils on from day unto (lav ,
Although his stops ever grow sldwcr
And his dark locks arc turning to gray?
Does anyone think of the duo bills . ; ‘
Ho’s called upon daily to pay? ’ If:

Does anyone think he is tired ? a I

Is it right justbccauso he looks troubled
To say he is cross as a bear?
Kind words, little actions of kindness
, Might banish his burden of care. ’

He will toil for you while he may live '
In return he only asks kindness, ’
And each pay is easy to give.

At rest beneath this slab of stone
Lies stingy Jimmy Wyatt;
He died one morning just at ten,
And saved a dinner by it.

With forty others we both were drowned,
Lost at sea and never found.

For the whole of a wagon went over my head.

Asking The Way.
It has been said many times that mg,
most difficult thing for any man to do ‘is
to direct a stranger clearly and correctly
to a distant street or building. There are
two kinds of men in the matter of show-
ing ”10 W3)” the city resident and the
count-"Imam. The city man is always
perplexed and confused when asked about
the streets he is most familiar with. He
always stops short, wrinkles his brow, and
says, “Let me see." But the countryman
is never perplexed. He knows the “hull
kcntry fur miles around," and nothing
pleases him so much as to. pass half an
hour in displaying his knowledge. The
following experience of a reporter will
illustrate the typical farmer’s method of
directing:—
It was in Worcester County, Mass, and»
the reporter had undertaken to drive from
a country town alone, to a well known
farm several miles out from the centre.
Losing his way he stopped the first
farmer he met and inquired.
“Whoa up i” shouted the farmer to his
restless horse. It was really restless and
by no means the typical poke of a plough
horse. Whoa up! What my mister ?"
“Can you tell me the way to Mr. A—‘s
house 2’”
“Wal, rnihcr reckOn I kin. Ain't ac-
quainted in these parts he ye? Whoa
Jenny, whoa back, sh, sh, there, new
stand still. Thct there cell’s most tow
much for me I swan. She ain’t bccnbruk
mor’n three weeks come next Friday.
Yes there’s four ways to git that; might
say five, but I guess yew won’t want to
go thet way. Whoa up yc brute.”
“I should like the best way, or the
shortest, as I am in something of ahnrry."
"Oh, be ye? Wul,” very deliberately,
"I reckon yew'd holler keep strct on this
way, till you git an to the cross-rude,
'oaoui tow mile'n a half 'bove here, an,—
whoa—whoapl Jenny, don’t yc know
nothiu’ at all, consarn yc? Jes’ like hu-
man naiur’, darned ef ’taiut. \Vcll, I
reckon ycw’d better not go 'thct way.
ch’d get all tangled up in the cross~ruds,
’ud go mor’u a mile onto’ yer way. See
thet lhar yellowish braown barn ’cross
them meddcr lands? Whl, jist beyond
ihar, thar's a rod that turns a lccile OK to
the right. Whoop back! sh thur. But
yew don't want to lake thct rud; jes’ go
right by, 2111' take the next one, Folly

You'll know the place by ’n old dead
apple tree on the corner, ’n a broken down
red express wagon in the door-yard. Pass
the! house, ’n’ Iakc ycr lust left, then ycr
second right, ’r.’ ycw’ll see Mr. A—‘s
house right on alt-rile hill low yer right.
Stop lil—Wllmillp lilt‘li‘, Jenny !—stop at

hill ’n he‘ll tell you ihv lust way up. El
ycw’d rather not climb the bill, p’r’aps
ycw’dbcttcr go nuullnr nay. Go back

“Thank you, squire, but I guess this
way will do.”
“Will—only don't fulgil in pass by the
fast turn lcw lheright, nn’ you can’t help
missing it." ~
