NORWALK GAZETTE. Tuesday. Sept. 8, 1885. ________,___’__————— The County Fair. Mr. Edwin Hoyt, Secretary, has issued, an appeal to the stockholders of the Socie- ty, that they unite in doing all possible to make the fair 3. success. Some parts of the circular will apply as well to the gene— ral public as to the stockholder. We therefore print a portion. Mr. Hoyt says: “You may think, perhaps, you cannot do much to help us. We only ask you to do what you can. If you have any worthy article, no matter what, send it to the fair. Use your influence to secure articles from others. Talk about the Fair and do all you canto advertise it. Come yourself and get others to come. In a word, do your best * * * to make aworthy and successful exhibition. We have as intelli- gent farmers, as skilled mechanics, as fine artists, as ingenious ladies, as wide awake merchants, as fine a track and grounds and as strong a list of stockholders as any agricultural corporation in the State. Can you then see any reason, if we all take hold and do what We can, why we should not make a grand and successful Fair? The'ofiicers are doing all they can and we believe you will give us your hearty co- Operation. Then please lose no time, in looking about to see what can be brought out to exhibit. Invite the ladies of your families and neighbors to bring their fancy work or something to the Fair.” The Stamford Advocate says :—Thcrc are special reasons why all friends of the institution should rally to its support this year. The Sooiety has been much dis- couraged by a singular succession of bad weather on the week of the fair in recent years, and vitally need the stimulant of an unqualified success for once. But this Is not all. There is a struggle quietly going on all the time the result of which Is to de- cide what sort of influences will control the character of these annual county gath- eringsin the future. The present mim- agement, we feel assurcdyarc on the sIde of order and temperance, and the develop- ment of the fair in the lines where it will do the honest farmers and manufacturers of the county the most gpod, and where their families can come to obtain a pleas- i ant and profitable holiday. On theother hand if the better class of our industrial and agricultural populationfail to do their part in making the fair what they profess they want to see it, the inevitable result will be a relapse, by the force of circum- stances, of the institution into less scrupu- lous hands who will make it pay in one way if they can't in another. We trust that this year will prove that the good people of this section realize the situation. ____—_‘»—-—-————- Borough vs. City, and Vice Versa. The Sentinel thinks the muddle over the matter of connecting the Norwalk and South Norwalk water mains was fairly explained by the GAZETTE. It also says there was no disposition on the part of the city water commissioners to biggie over the matter. The concession they declined to make was to bear a portion of the ex- pcnsc, as the borough for the time being was to receive the only benefit. The Republican sums up the statement by saying “Now .f that is acting ‘smali' as the Gazarrr. says the people of the borough think the city has done, we leave the public to judge.” We agree with the Sentinel as to the fairness of the Gazerrs’s article. In this matter at least the Sentinel ison the right side. But the Republican rather crabbcdly picks our intended fairness to pieces by the citing of one allegation in our article without also citing the counter statement. The Republican evidently smarts under a mistaken sense of injustice done. And it may have been the display of a similar “touchy” feeling which gave rise to the whole trouble. Now as the final act offiour self-imposed task of peacemaking let us: advise the Republican to smooth its shaggy mane. There is no cause for feeling now, and the least said the better. EH The Cheapest N of: Always the Best. Some months ago our good friends of the First Congregational church decided to have their church manual printed. It had not been printed for many years, and numerous alterations and corrections were necessary. Acting on the prevailing spir- it of the times, the committee called for bids and decided to give the work to the lowest bidder. This was done, and the work has just been issued.~ It is a neat looking pamphlet containing 85 printed pages. It also contains [89 typograph— ical errors, an average of more than two errors to each printed page. The cheapest is not always the best, as our good friends have doubtless noticed. ———-——<+>——— The International Race. ‘ An attempt was made yesterday to sail the race between the Puritan and Gencsta, but owing to the light wind neither boat was able to travel the course within the time specified, therefore it was not count- ed as a race. The Puritan, however, found no trouble in sailing away from its rival, and when the boats turned home— ward the Puritan was over a mile ahead of the English boat. The race will be sailed to-day. Luna—1 p. m. A dispatch just receiv- cd says the Puritan has fouled the Genes- ta, carrying away the latter‘s bowsprit. 'I‘hc Puritan’s mainsail is badly torn.

Daskam, of Stamford, died suddenly in his bed Wednesday night, of a rheumatic affliction of the heart, at the age of 77 years. He was one of Stamford’s most prominent citizchs, honored and esteemed. He was born in Norwalk (Five Mile Rivcr)-and had lived and carried on business in Stamford for about fifty years. Ile leaves three sons and. two daughters, his wife having died four years ago. The funeral was largely attended at the Uni- versalist church, Stamford, on Sunday. ——————4”——— Unnecessary. The Stamford Ad'vocate disputes the as- sertion that Hon. P. C.

' l . Random Ramblings. —-’——-—-—_ BY ROSIE nown, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER. Look at it as you will, the life of the av- erage Salvation Army Warrior is not a happy one. He is rescued from the slums of the wickedest city in the world, a new song put into his mouth and he is sent to this country to lift other wretchcs out of the mire and clay. Necessarily ignorant by reason of his “previous condi- tion of servitude," his sterile mind ac- cepts its teachings literally and unbolted. He knows and cares nothing about logical and theological analyses. His construc- tions and applications are severely literal —“yea, yea and nay, nay.” His whole desire is to be a faithful follower of the Great Master whom he sees going about as a common tramp preaching and teach- ing among the poor and lowly, with no gold nor silver nor scrip in his purse and no change of raiment. spit upon by the worldly, snecred at and shunned by christians,fricndless and home- less hc bears his cross, simple faith his only strength, martyrdom his only 're- ward. Granting that the cause is just. in that Great Day of universal retribution, if having for righteousness’ sake suffered persecution, reviling and all manner of evil shall count for aught, who shall say that the poor salvation army warrior shall not enterin ahead of, and nearer the throne than the sleek-coated, epicurcan, coddled and dyspeptic parson who passes him by on the other side? .- t a ' n I read in the Waterbury Amen'can a few days ago a little reminiscence cited by a livery stable keeper who, to illustrate that , the practice of hiring teams for funerals was failing of! of late years, said that in years gone by he had had applications for teams for attending the funerals of persons- who were “not expected to live," and on one occasion had been obliged to cancel a man's order because the prospective corpse had stubbornly refused to act in that capacity, and is “alive and well to-day." This calls to mind an actual occurrence in which the actors were among my personal. acquaintances. An individual with a mania for corpses, and whose distorted mind found a morbid gratification in gazing on the dead, had heard that a certain man who was critic-« ally ill had died.- He went at once to the house‘ of the dead, get permission from the supposed widow to “go in and ,see him,” and went in. But when he saw‘ the object of his solicitudc comfortably propped up in bed, reading the morning paper, an expression of profound astonish» ment, mingled with disappointment and disgust, oversprcad his countenance and he greeted the sick man with: “Great God! ain‘t yen dead yet ?” t‘lfi These new houses of Hill’s anda‘fatthew. son's, on West avenue, with their.multi- i'arious kitty-corners and gable ends, are progressing rapidly towards completion, and will add by no means a little to the architectural beauty of their neighborhood on that handsome avenue. Some criti- cise the general designs of both, and decry especially the promiscuous profusion of ext ansion roofs, dormer windows, and corner-bracket piazzas. But to me this chaotic miscellany of roof adornment is charming in its suggestivcncss of uncon— ventioualily, and inspiring in its general effect. I think it is just as nice as it can be. I! t It An item in your miscellany corner a couple of weeks ago struck me as being suggestively significant. It was a statisti- cal statement of the matrimonial market of Ohio. It showed that previous to the war the average number of marriages per year in that state was 23,000; during the years the war was in progress the average was reduced to 18,500, and immediately after the war it was advanced to 30,479, which advance is attributed to the return of the soldier iaddies to their faithful sweethearts. Again, the panic of 1873 cut the " average down to 23,489, while the revival of business in 1882 run it up to 30,500, and it was again out down to 28,720 by the depression of 1884. If wars and panics pave the way for the matrimo- nial booms, bring on your wars and panics. Who dares to say “Let. us have peace” when the wedding market is stagnant? What sordid grabber whines for activity in securities, and a rush and whirl in trade and industry, when languishing Hymen forcbodcs the racc’s extinction? Out upon him! Right here at home look at the array Of beauty and accomplishment going to seed. and old maidenhoodl Look at the army .of Ill'leIly and brainy dc- linqucnts wasting their substance in riot- ous living, when nothing is wanting to reuse them to activity but wars and rumors of wars. War we must have,aud, in the words of the immor‘al Patrick Henry, “Let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!“ Then cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war, and then let‘s all get married. It's The “buffalo moth” has now become the terror of housekeepers. From whence it came no one seems to know. It laughs at Persian powder, snifi's camphor with delight. Red pepper it revels in and will eat our silk dresses and cotton fabrics with even greater veracity after having been dosed with the stimulating capsicum. A lady friend gives me her experience with the pests. Finding her house invad- ed by them she laid strips of _tarrcd paper along her room baseboards and sprinkled pounds of Persian powder on her carpets and furniture upholsterics. It did no good. The buffaios multiplied and fat- tencd on this treatment. She then took up her carpets about the edges and with hair pins picked out quarts of the hideous vermin. Finding her paper linings under the carpets filled with them she took sev- cral rows of it out, and replaced it with old newspapprs. She the; mixed up a quantity of plaster of paris, and with a case knife filled all the cracks in and about the baseboards, and then replaced her carpets. A few weeks subsequently she raised the edges of the carpets and found that in all the places where she had placed the newspapers not a sign of amoth could be found, while where there were no newspapers, her carpets were so perforated as to be ruined. She states further that for years it has been her practice to whip out her furs vigorously befOre putting them away for the season, then wrapping them up securely in newspapers, and wrapping an old linen sheet outside of all, and that she has never had a moth get into any of her furs thus treated. She says she was given this recipe years ago by the elder Gunther, of New York, who told her that was all he did to the Inauy furs left with him for summer care and storcage. As;it is so easy to try this I hope some one else will experiment and report. —————<—O—>——-—- Drowned.

The criminal term of the superior court- commcuced to- day in Bridgeport. Scoffcd at and ‘ Bolton latter. John L. Sullivan, the boss slugger from Boss-town, is a shining example of the power and persistency of concentrated ap- plication. He is a man of one idea, ab- normally developed and devotedly cod- dled. He is simply a “slugger" in every walk of life. He is a Boston boy and there was a brief while when the citizens of , his native town was proud of him and his unequaled prowess,but alas, that pride has had a fall, and now exists only in the hearts of those who feed at the crib John provides for them and live on the earnings of his brawny muscles. A few'months ago he was defendant in a divorce suit brought by his wife, who alleged cruel and abusive treatment, failure to support and infidelity as the causes of her com- plaint. John stated in the trial that he married for .“religious purposes," what- ever that may mean. His wife was an American and a Protestant, while he is an Irishman and a Catholic. To the public the charges brought by the, wife and her witnesses were proved but the “slugger” knocked them all out by his followers who swore to John’s faithfulness and even denied under oath that they ever saw him the worse fer liquor. The verdict was the Scotch one—not provcn. But the revelations made during the trial pretty effectively shut John out from whatever respectable society he had ever had the ontrceto and Boston‘s idol was a cheap god from that time. > When not training for the P. R. be is engaged with a slugging match with him self and he andAlcohol have many a round. John is many times knocked out but his magnificent physique and iron constitu- tion bring him up smiling when ever “game" is called. His recent set-to with McCafIcry in Cin- cinnatti has not added much to his popu- lair ity hereabouts and doubts are freely expressed of his ability to meet Ryan or McCafiery in a fight fought to a finish. John L. Sullivan is the finest animal of this century, and uses the most scientific method in his work, bet he is being best- ed daily and will finally down altogether— “rum done it.” , Boston is really getting to be a sporting city. No sooner does one champion slug- ger show signs of getting near the horizon than aquatic matters grow in prominence, splendid racing of the yacht Puritan and the victories over the crack yacht Priscilla of New York, have created an enthusiasm in yachting matters simply astonishing. I was recently taking a trip down Bos- ton harbor and the entire conversation on board was on the relative merits of the Puritan and Genesta. The knowledge displayed was something marvellous. I ventured to ask one gentleman who seem- ed particularly proficient in his knowledge if he would explain the difference between a barkentine and a clipper yacht. “- Why certainly," he replied, “one is to carry freight in, the other to carry people.” I replied that then a ferry boat might be called a yacht by that definition, and he assented. Still thirstfug for knowledge I further asked if he would enlighten me as to the real difference between a cutter rig- ged yacht and a centre board yacht. He responded with alacrity, pitying my lack of nautical lore, “A centre board has no cabin but is boarded up in the centre.” He then offered to bet me five to four that the Puritan would beat thchnesta, and when I refused the wager, walked away discoursing on spars, and booms, stay sails and main braces. Great is knowledge galore. _ An orator has no honor—save In the next town. The Committee appointed by the City to select a suitable person to de- liv'cr an eulogy on Gen. Grant, first invi- ted Gen. Sherman, and on his 'rcfusal, turned their eyes toward Brooklyn and invited Henry Ward Beecher, who has accepted the invite and will “crate.” The Committee has been soundly cuffed by the Boston papers for passing by native talent and the rebukes, with no disrespect to Beecher, have been well merited. There is a score of men here who could deliver an admirable oration on Grant, the names of some I call to witness: James, Russell Lowell, Robert C. Winthrop, George Boutweil, Grant’s intimate friend and Secretary of Treasury. John D. Long, Gov. Robinson, and Rev. Dr. D'uryea, the finest pulpit orator in New England. Doubtless when Brooklyn needs a recital of Grant’s exploits it will appropriately send to Boston for our leading orator and thus even thin 9 up by the general law of adjustment an compensation. , PAUL ernnor. ————<‘>————~—— Our Contemporaries. The correspondents of the Waterbury American held their third annual re- union and picnic at High Rock last Tues- day. They arc organized as an associa- tion, and the roll embraces some of the best talent in that :cxtcnsive region over which the American has jurisdiction. The Derby Transcript otilce announces extensive new equipments 'in its job print. ing department. The paper itself always looks real pretty. , Priudle of the Bridgeport News has a scent for the‘festive oyster as keen as his nose for news, and explodes upon his un- suspecting readcrs the welcome assurance that “September has an ‘r’ in it.” The Waterbury American proposes to rob base bail reports of their most potent charm by advising the “Newspaper war- riors to shake hands” over the fact that a certain club is as bad as another certain club. _ It is reported in newspaper circles that J. H. Sterling has ceased to be the World's Bridgeport correspondent. This is cause for regret, for Sterling, although some- times highly imaginative—hence erratic—- is always interesting, and the World will find it a difficult matter to fill his place. The Stamford Advocate has just started on its 57th year, and seems as willing as it is able to “go it" to the end of the century. ‘ \ The Portchestcr Enterjwiw has just celebrated the completion of the first year of its existence. It has our approval. By the way, what has become of that adjourned editorial clambakc ? The clam- trees are loaded with dead-ripe fruit. the scribes are hungry again by this time, and all they want is a date. ‘ The Canaan News and New Milford Gazette seem to “catch onto" the proper spirit of fraternal relation. Everand anon they fight like two tom-cats over patent outsidcs, stereotype plates and things, but the cessation of hostilities always finds them billing and cooing and sucking cars like a couple of turtle doves. ————<.>—- Bicycle Races. - On Tuesday, September I5, the second day of the fair, among-the other attractions will be a series of bicycle races between members of the various clubs in Fuirficld County. The prizes will be gold and sil- ver medals oficred by the agricultural society. There will be three beats, a mile each. Stamford, Danbury and Bridgeport whcclmcn have already signified their in- .Icntion of competing and with our Nor- waikboys also among the ranks, the races will be well worth seeing. The visiting wheelmcn, escorted by the local club, will probably give a street parade in the morn- in . There will also be decries of races on the fair grounds September 22, 24 and '20, between members of the local club only. These races will be for a badge. ——-——4.>——'——-—- Attroctlvo Wares. —Blascer has an extensive stock of at- tractive staple goods and novelties in the Crockery and House Furnishing line.

The facts of the industry are very remarkable. It stands sixth among all industries in the United States in the amount of capital used, ex- ceeded only by metals, cottons, woollcns and worsteds, lumber and grist; and its .growth is shown by the fact that whereas in 1880 the production of the United States was something over thirteen million barrels, in 1885 it was over eighteen millions. The United States stands third in the list of beer producing countries, Great Britain at the last general estimate brewing. 1,000,000,000 gallons, Germany 900,000,000, and the United States 600,- 000,000. The census reported 2191 brew— cries, employing 26,220 people, who earn- ed wages of $465.21 yearly—an average higher than in ahnost any other industry. The article in Harper's promises a com- plete description of the processes of beer making, from the raising of the hops to . the barreling and bottling, and those who indulge in malt liquors will be Interested in the varieties of beer mentioned from the ordinary “bitter” of England and “lager" of Germany and Amerlea to the frozen beer of Tasmania and the condensed beer manufactured in Switzerland for expert. The writer points out that the wards “ale" and‘ ‘beer”are used indiscriminately in Eng- land, but that American brewers confine the word beer to layer, the product of what is known asthe under. fermentation process, and ale to the product of the up. per fermentation process, which arc‘carried on with different kinds of yeast .and at different temperatures.

To The Public l—A duo. have recently learned from creditable au— thority that statements are being industri- 9usly circulated, with the evident intent of in- Jurmg my business, to the effect that in my use of the new process of elnbalming the dead, an exposure of the remains is usual and rendered necessary for its effectual application. Noth- ing can be further from the truth. I have used the system, which is now adopted by all the leading and best updcrtakcrs of this country, for nearly two years, during which time I have not used a single mind of ice for preserving the bodies of the cad. And I am the only un- dertaker who has not used it. But in no in- stance has it been necessary to expose any more of the person of the corpse than is seen after it Is laid out in the casket for public view and burial service. The process of administer- ing it is as delicate as the injection of a by e- d‘ermie needle in the wrist or hand to al ay pain III the living subject. I confidently appeal to every friend of the more than a hundred subjbcts I have used the process upon and who have witnessed its administration, to confirm my statement in this res ect, and to aid in re- futing the injurious. crue ,and heartlessfalse- hood to which I have been forced to refer.
