Agricultural society has been indifilculties, the fair, and as a result made few exhibits. The consequence was the managers were largely dependent upon the enterprise of outside merchants, and if for any cause this class of exhibits fell off in number or excellence the fair was a corresponding failure. There were also many drones in the management of the association, and these retarded seriously the efforts of the few enterprising members and the hard workers. Added to these handicaps the weather clerk seemed to have a particular spite against this special society and the elements were emplo ed to hasten its liquidation by liquidating the atmosphere. For two successive years the had a rainy period instead of a fair. hen old Sol smiled for one year. Repenting of even this leniency the two last years have been worse than any others. Of course no society could stand this combination of unfortunate circumstances, and the result has been that the managers have many times been compelled to rake. and scrape to pay the society’s current expenses. There had only been fifty per cent. of the stock of the association aid in, and in view of the financial cond tion of the society it was deemed best before another fair to call in the balance due on the stock. Accordingly last spring a meeting was held and a call made on the stockholders for the remaining fifty per cent. Before the call became due the Bridgeport stockholders came over and made ajdemand for another stockholders' meeting which, under the charter, the president was compelled to call. At that meeting Bridgeport parties were present with proxies representing more than half the stock (a small portion of which only had been paid in, however) and voted to request the directors to rescind the call for the unpaid installment. At a subse. quent meeting of the directors a majority request and thecall was rescinded. At' the fair last fall it seemed as if eve one entered into the spirit of the thing an the result was that the inside exhibition was superior to any ever held here and, in the opinion of state officials who were present, better than any fair ever given in the state. But the rain stepped in again and was a constant companion nearly all the week This, of course, materially lessened. the attendance and at the close of the fair the managers found that, although they could pay expenses and some od debts, they did not have enough to include the payment of the interest on their mort age. At a. meeting held after the fair r. W. C. Street offered another reso- lution callin for the unpaid installments, and making ecember 15, two days before the annual meeting,’ the time on which the amount was payable, A number of subscribers hereabouts paid in their assess- omitted to do so. The Norwalk Savings society holds a mortgage upon the property of the asso- ciation as security for a loan of $9,500. The interest on this amount was not paid the past year and the total amount owing to the Savings Bank is now over $1,000. The latter have forthelast years requested that the loan be reduced to $8,000, but many of the stockholders refusin to pa in the balance of their stock an theil luck of the fairs continuing, it was found impossible by the assoeiation to accede to the request. Within a fortnight the Savings Bank issued a writ of foreclosure which was served upon the proper offi— cers. At the recent annual meeting of the societ the following directors were elect- ed: athaniel Wheeler, Brid e on; H. F. Guthrie, Norwalk; Hon. NJ). Bish- op, Bridgeport; 001. T. L. Watson, Bridgeport; A. E. Kroger, Winnipauk; C. E. St. John, Norwalk; Hon. Samuel Fessenden, Stamford; T. B. Wakeman, lVestport; N. W. Bradley, Saugatuck; Edwin Hoyt, New Canaan; Francis Ives, Bridgeport. Mr. Edwin Hoyt who was secretary last year held his ofiico until the appointment of a successor, and promptly upon the action of the Savings Bank called a meeting of the directors to be held in Bridgeport on Friday, Jenn- cry 2. At this meeting all the directors were present with the exception of Messrs. Fessenden and Kroger. The Hon. W. D. Bishop was chosen temporary chairman. The financial condition of the society was thoroughly investigated, and the future prospects for success were full considered. Much time was devoted to t e consideration of these matters, after which the board proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year with the following result: President, Col. T. L. Watson, Bridgeport; Vice-President, Charles E. St. John, Norwalk; Secretary, Edwin Hoyt, 'New Canaan; Treasurer, Wm. A. Curtis, Norwalk. -* It was with much reluctance that the president and secretary consented to ac- cept their respective offices as both are overwhelmed with their own business, but as the directors present pledged their support and assistance, and believing the stockholders would all or nearly all, at least, do the same when all the facts were presented to them, they finally consented ta serve and give the society their best efforts toward bringing it up to a pros- perous existence. Col. T. L. W'at-son, Charles E. St. John, Edwin Hoyt and N. W. Bradley were a pointed as an execu- tive committee. he board decided it best to pay:in the unpaid stock as called for by the directors and the executive committee was instructed to issue a circular and send to each stockholder givinga full statement of the doings of the societ in the past; its financial con- dition an such other information as they may obtain that will be of interest to the egockholders. The meeting then adjOurn- e . The meeting was one of much interest and unanimity. No desire was expressed to locate the fair in Bridgeport, but all considered Norwalk the most central and most desirable location. No reasons could be seen why as good exhibitions and attendance could not be had at Norwalk as in any location of the county. In fact, Messrs. Wm. D. Bishop and Nathaniel Wheeler both advocated the keeping of the fair at Nor-walk and stated weighty reasons why the present location was the best that could be had. This would seem to authoritively put at rest the many unfounded rumors of to the fair being moved to Bridge ort. . The amount which w ll accrue from the payment of the balance of the stock is $2,900. This will pay some $600 of floating debt, will lower the mortgage to $8,000 and pay the interest, and cave a balance of some $300 in the treasury. The executive committee appointed above called upon the Savings. officials Saturday and agreeing to take such a course, the trouble was amicably settled and the pro- ceedings in foreclosure will probably be withdrawn. One who was present at last Friday's meeting stated that from appearances all the directors had waked up and were success If earnest work and personal ap- plication could do so. The election of Col. Watson as president is a good move and one which cannot fail to help the society as that entlemau has a peculiar and happy facu ty of makin a success of everything he undertakes. c is admir- ably coupled with the secretary Mr. Edwin Hoyt than whom no one is more earnest and indefatigable in his work, or more thorough in‘ his knowledge of what is necessary to constitute a good fair. Mr. C. E. St.Johu is another valuable man in the right place. ' And now that the directors have taken hold and mean business“ we trust that the public will echo every effort of theirs towards that end. No one would be more benefited by the success of the institution than our home people, and no one should be more earnest in its support. Let everyone do something for the association at the coming fair, and we shall see the society attain a prominence second to none' in the state. ~ We trust that the trouble is all over and from darkness the Fairfield County Agri- cultural Society is entering iuto the light of success.

A. I. The membershipin the Grand Army posts in Connecticut crowds hard upon 5,000. During the administration of Com- mandcr William B‘errv, of Hartford, and Henry E. Taintor, assistant adjutaut gen. eral, ten new posts have been organized, the period beginning with February. The annual meeting of the state encampment will be held in Bridgeport under the auspices of Elias Howe post on Wednes. day, January IS. More posts have been organized this year than during any pre- vious year of the existence of the order in' the state. General Frank D. Slant, of New Haven, the senior vice—commander, will probably be placed at the head of the order at the encampment this month, without opposition. By vote of the national encampment last summer the representation from posts in the state en- campments is one delegate to every fifty members, reducing the delegates one-half. Post department commanders will be entitled to vote as heretofore in the state encampment. 0... . Lots of “8011"!” . Under instructions from headquarters, the various telephone exchanges through- out the state kept a record of the number of calls received on the last three days of 1884. In Danbury the total number was nearly 1,800 while in Norwalk the aggregate was 2,020, divided as follows: Monday, 600; Tuesday, 678 and Wednes- day, 742. Considering that the word “Hello!" has to be yelled at least six times before a message can be communi- cated there must have been a total of 12,120 “Hello-s" during the three days, or an average 'of nearly three to every minute. This average is computed by reckoning twentyJour hours to the day, but, as a matter of fact, during the day time the calls roll in at the astonishing average of fourteen to a minute or one to every four seconds. The Skate Club. The first session of the Norwalk Skate Club was held at the rink last evening and proved that the movement was a flattering success. Over 150 of the most prominent people of the town were present and the floor was filled with merry skaters. A number of our prominent business men who had never tried seductive rollers before, furnished amusement for the ' crowd. Everybody entered into the spirit of the thing and, everybody enjoyed it. We regret that our space will not allow further mention than that the affair was a complete success financially, socially and every other way. The next session occurs next Monday evening. _______.__‘...>_____. A Foo of mm links. Managers of traveling theatrical troupes have been complaining for some time that the numerous skating rinks throughout the country are mining their business, but it seems that rinks areblso doing some efiective temperance work. At least it is asserted that a number of Erie (Penn.) ,saloon keepers have handed themselves to. gather for the purpose of crushing the skating rinks in Erie, because the opera- tions Of those institutions interfere with the sale and consumption of drinks. Nearly every night the rinks are crowded, while the saloons have been deserted .- 'Ansonia Sentinel. -———--——-¢o->-'—— The promoters of the English channel tunnel project have been informed that if they persevere in their efiorts to obtain a bill from Parliament, the government will oppose the scheme. - .

' The Sunday School children of the Con- gregational church had their usual Christ- mas festival in the Sunday School room, last Tuesday evening. The room was tastefully decorated, and the gifts of candy and oranges were suspended from an evergreen arch lighted with wax can- dles, Which, when the other lights were extinguished, presented a beautiful up. pearauce. The gifts were distributed by Santa Claus, who emerged from a grotto concealed by evergreens. After the dis. tribution to the members of the school, cake was served to all present. The other exercises, consisting of recitations and singing, were very pleasing. ————— —-———<+>~—~———« WILTON. Mrs. White, of Brooklyn is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Upson.

On the night of December 31, 1883, three young men sat around a tavern fire in Georgetown, alittle village about ten miles from here. The three were grossly in- toxicated, and were watching the old your out. As the clock :struck twelve one of the young men said: “Boys, the new year is here. Now let's swear off and form a temperance society." The others, in a spirit of fun, agreed. The articles of association were there and then dawn up. They were similar to the rules of other temperance organizations, with one exception. The clause contain- ing the pledge had the following penalty attached : “ And any one of us who shall drink any intoxicating liquor, for any purpose what.- soover, betWeen now and midnight of December 81, 1884, shall be torred and feathered." This clause, becoming known, gained the club the name of “ The Tar and Fe:- ther Temperance Society." Meetings of the society of three were frequently held. Gradually applications for membership began to pour in, and before six months had passed the society numbered thirty members. The year of abstinence expired on Wed- ' nesday night, and a grand ball was given by the society, to which a large number of the best people of the place were invited. The. hall was filled. At midnight the President announced that the pledge had expired. By a unanimous vote it was re- newed for another year, and some twenty new names Were added to the roll. The peculiarpenalty proves an attractive ad- vertisement, and the matter is the talk of the. neighborhood. Nearly every resident wears the society’s badge. The badge is a blue ribbon, with a lump of m- filled with chicken feathers attached. -- New York Sun. --——-——-¢o>—-————— Notice to Mm.

New Haveu's polo club has withdrawn from the state polo league. Charles W. Webster, chief of the New Haven police, died Thursday morning of paralysis. A Naugatuck farmer whoreeeived six ears Of corn from the west had to pay $3 express chagges. It is reported that the wages of molders at the Branford Lock works will be re. i duced 10 per cent. beginning with this i month. i The hardness of the times is shown by the fact that a number of New Haven women have been aching their hair to raise money for the necessities of life. ‘ John R. Burrows of Stoulugton, who died recently, left $4,000, the income of which is devoted to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for the almshouse poor of Hartford, George H. Bartlett of New Haven, picked in his garden, Tuesday, a number of pansies in full bloom. Although unpro- tected from the cold and frost. they were bright and fresh. ’ People interested in the New London board of trade are talking about establish- lng a hat factory, and seem to be encour- aged, somehow, by the state of affairs at South Not-walk. A New Haven hackmau has served papers in suits for libel against the Union and Register, asking $1,000 from each for publishing statements furnished by police that he ill-treated his horses. Eighteen colored men who have been employed at the Fish works, Milford, went to New York, Wednesday, morning, enroute for the South.

I have this day made a chemical examination of samples of baking powder purchased by me in the open market and marked CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, and; ROYAL BAKING POWDER. ‘ ‘ These powders contain: Cleveland’s. Cream of Tartar Bicarbonate of Soda ‘ ‘ Flour I I Royal. Cream of Tartar Bicarbonate of Soda — . Carbonate of Ammonia 1- Tartaric Acid . . ' ' Starch , The relative amount of pure Carbonic Acid Gas produced by, IO grams of each of these powders is as follows: Cleveland’s, 658 cubic centimetres. Royal, 577 cubic centimetres. In view of these facts I regard Cleveland's as superior to the Royal because: I. CLEVELAND'S contains only pure and unobjectionable materials, while the ROYAL contains Ammonia, a drug derived from disgusting sources, powerful in its- action upon the system. The udultoratlon of baking powder with Ammonia is in my opinion an minty to the public health. It deserves the severest condem- nation, and should be brought to the attention of physicians and boards of health throughout the country. II. The quantity of pure Carbonic CLEVELAND'S‘ is greater than that produced under like con- ditions by the ROYAL. CLEVELAND'S BAKING POWDER being pure and free‘ from Ammonia, Lime, Alum, Terra Alba, or any adultmfion whatever, and having great leavening power, I do not hesitate to recommend as worthy of public confidence for producing light, digestible, and wholesome bread. ’ BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 14, 1884.

Birmingham, Ansouia and Derby are flooded with counterfeit silver dollars and half dollars. The coin is about 60 grains light on the dollar and is a little dull in color, but the workmanship is good and great care has to be exercised to detect them. .. Gideon Thompson of Bridgeport, has in his possession an old Masonic jewel, which belonged to his father, and on one side of which is inscribed, “David Thompson, Solomon's Chapter. Derby." Mr. Thomp. son thinks his father must have procured it as early as 1784, so that it is probably one hundred years old. The Postmaster General has awarded the contracts for printing wooden tags, metallic label cases and cord fasteners for mail bags as follows: Tags, to W. E. Sebree of Washington ; label cases, to the Eagle Lock company of Terryville, Ct. ; cord fasteners to the Smith& Eggs Manu- facturing company of Bridgeport. Mrs. Garde of Meriden, recently received a letter from California, enclosing a postal order for 50 cents. It was accompanied by a note stating that the sender, when a girl, about 35 years ago, stole about 11 cents from Mrs Garde, then living in Cheshire. The order for 50 cents was the principal of 11 cents and the in- terest on it. It is asserted that the supply of food fish in Long Island Sound has materially di- minished within the last year or two. The cause is ascribed to the menhnden steamers which in the past year are said to have caught 220 tons of edible fishin the sound. The hands on these steamers assert, how. lever, that they do not catch edible fish aboard the boats. It is probable that the state board of pardons will report favorably on the ap- plication of John Leary of Middletown, who in December, 1881, was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced for six years. Leary was passing through an alleyway one night when he responded to an insult from a drunken fellow by knock- ing him down. The man fell against a stone step and fractured his skull, dying soon after. Next Monday the famous Dr. Carver will attempt to beat his own record of breaking 5,500 glass balls in six days. The attempt will be made in Lincoln Park, New Haven, and wooden balls - substituted for the glass ones formerly in use as the powdered glass from§the broken balls made Dr. Carver nearly blind for several weeks after his feat in July, 1879. A force of men wdl at once go in training at throwing these wooden balls. The doc- tor will use a ten pound rifle and if he hits every ball he shoots at will have to lift about five tons a day. Daniel Dunn of Bridgeport, has for a long time entered from the noctural visits of coal thieves. At 4 o’clock Thursday morning Mn. Dunn saw a man go into the back yard and a few minutes later come out with a bag of coal. She awakened Mr. Dunn, who, supposing it to be a chicken thief, drew on his clothes and mutate the yard,aecosting the fellow just as'hewu leovlnngr Dunn grabbed him with one hand, and attempted to hold him, but the man drew a knife from his pocket and plunged the blade into Dunn’s left breast. The thief ran down the street and Dunn followed until compelled by his injury to stop. The knifoblade penetrat- ed tho left lung and Dunn is in a critical condition. . A customer of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Companv being anxious to get an alarm clock has for some time past re- served his tickets till he had a sufficient number to entitle him to such a clock. Last evening he called at the store, hav- ing with him the required number of tickets, and received his desire. Not being accustomed to the setting of it he requested that it be set. to awaken him early in the morning. The clock was set especially for his case, and on he went to the opera house, holding fast to the clock. Suddenly, just as the curtain was about to rise and the audience was hushed in the anticipation of coming events, a strange noise was heard in the gallery. Every eye was turned toward the source from whence the sound came, but no one was more convinced that a joke had been played upon him than the man with the clock.— Danbury NM.
