EAST MIpDLEDURY, - The Grant q
Wilson club met on Thursday evening,
the 18th. Geo. Ladd, Esq, opened the
debate with appropriate and timely re-
marks, giving the history OF some parties
their power to accomplish, when unit
in effort, this he applied to the Republi-
can party. G. D. Maynard, Esq, fol-
lowed in happy train Of thoughts, rela-
tive to "Reiorm"-cricd up by the oppo-
sition party, that they were deadly enc
mics to the administration. Mr.. Walker
refused to speak from i'll health. The
time was filled up by Mes>rs. Upper and
Bidwell, who were appointed with a.
Enos and j. Nancy, speakers for next
week. The ladies favored the club with
their presence
Under the direction of the Good Tenn
plars, the temperance people Of East Mid
dlebury, convened Sunday last at the
Unvcrsalist church to listen to Il lecture
on that, more than all other important
subject oil temperance. The Rev. Mr.
Mott opened the meeting, then intro-
duced Doctor Warner of New Haven
The speakers familiarity tn the subject
the earnestness with which he spoke, aud
the undeniable facts presented, could not
help but convince of the curse, and cause
an earnest feeling in all for the botting
out of that giant evil. The perfect ST..
lence. and earnest looks of one of the
largest audiences that have assembled in
this place for long time, told with what
respect it was received. We wish there
were many more as earnestly engaged that
the demands OF the hour igbt be sup
piled. A few remarks were made after
the lecture by those present. and the au-
dieuce then made manifest their sincere
thanks for the pleasure of the meeting.
SECOND PosTPoNEMENT OF THE ADD
son COUNTY FAIR The weather having
proved SO very unpropitious during the
week set for the Fair, aud the long con-
tinued rain having rendered the grounds
wholly unfit to hold the exhibition. the
Board Of Directors decided on Thursday
morning, to again adjourn until Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday, October Sth
9th and 10th, hoping that the weather
will by that time become settled, and the
Fair Il success, instead Of failure, as il
l would have been sure to have proved had
llthey decided to have continued it through
Thursday and Friday,
Had the weather proved favorable VIZ
should have had "A very successful Fair
nhe entries up to Wednesday night mum
bered about five hundred. Had all I'll,
animals aud articles entered been IN thei
places on Thursday morning with III,
additional entries usually made the secont
day, with fair weather, the show woult
have been very full and complete. Blu
the rain of Thursday morning had the
effect OF not only putting an eud to til,
augmentation Of the list OF entries, bu
kept large proportion of articles ant
animals already entered from beiu;
brought forward, aud left the show alto
gether so poor that the Directors did no
ieel justified in asking an admittauce fe,
to see so meagre an exhibition
The entries of horses for the trottin!
premiums were very full, embracing uan,
very fast horses, the owners of whicl
were very anxious to have the Fair clos
ed up, even if they were obliged to tro
out their part. with the tract; in such
muddy, bad condition, but the manager
; of the Fair did not feel justified in sacri
iiclng the show In the other departments
Tor the sake Of a horse trot in the mud
: and were willing to have all the extr
trouble of another adjournment, with tn
chance OF successful show 10 all depart
ments, rather than sacrifice them as the
were sure to do, if they went on with tn
Fair III the rain and mud. The rule
that all entries made and tickets sol
stand good through the adjourned iai
t as they would had the fair not been ad
journed. Should the weather fnall
prove good through the second week {

the best show we have been able to Q,
