CORNWALL, Oct. II, 1875.

MR. ED1ToR:-The article in last week s issue informing your readers that the Democratic ticket was elected in Corn. wall. hardly does justice to us Republi- cans; as we came out of the contest with one grand juror elected; owing to Demo. cratic scratchiag. This town will be ready to follow the example of Sharon,
 New Milford, and other towns, by elect ing citizens ticket next year. Eight years of success has made the Democratic party reckless in its expenditures, and the thorough sitting which the. annual report received at the hands of Hon. V. c. Beers, and R. R. Pratt, showed the tax payers how their money had been expended, and opened their eyes to the fact that change is needed, and that retrenchment and re. form must commence, or the town become bankrupt. Our pauper expenses in 1875 were $500; now, Sl 300. Roads were re. ported as costing sl.sOO in 1873. now, $500. Town expenses S11, 300 against SS.0O0 in 1873, town debt, $500. The only retrenchment visible is. with our schools. s400. and it is no wonder that in the able report of school visitors they could only give merited praise to three schools; West Cornwall where they always have good school, Cream Hill which has long been noted for hers, and Cornwall Bridge. The latter place in years past has not taken much interest in schools, and We are glad to hear that they feel elated
 at coming to the front. Their school has been under the management of Miss Julia A. Buckley for the last two years, and is

E
 r The use of carpetines may be traced to very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and sOth- CT coarse materials were used on the Hoors of her apartments. For many years Eu- rope received all her carpets from the East, and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of ear pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Go, of Bridgeport. are said to make the best Ingrainz Carpets that are sold in thiss Couhtry.l Messrs. HALL & READ are the agents of these goods. and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brussells carpets in the state. Hall < Read also enjoy deserved reputation for selling all classes of Dry Goods at the lowest market rates. They retail all do- nestle goods at the wholesale price lists and 1t is said that all kinds of housekeep- ing goods can be purchased there as low as in New York. We would advise our ireaders when m Bridgeport to visit Hall < Read. sa g 4w

RemQHRa.

Till recenfly wefhad buta faint idea of the real boyer of remorse. One day last week we went down the shepaug road with family on the move. Among the movables were two cats in baskets, and very melodious movables they proved to be. The oldest and biggest. in particular. seemed positive that his last day had come. He had 2 boy to carry his basket. and to lift the lid and let him look out on the peaceful scenery of the valley. but nothing would reassure him. Every time the Shepaug gave a lurch he would burst out into vail as if all the the souls of all the editors who have belied that road were confined in tais one beast. We have no- ticed want of confidence in the Shepaug railroad in others, but nothing to equal the want of confidence displayed by that cat. His trip all the. way to Romford, where he was removed to the baggage car out of regard to the nerves of his fellow passengers. was one continuous outpour- ing of Remorse. One could not but know what the old fellows life had been from his voice. which was as the voice of lost soul in torment. Plainly he was an ortho- dox cat. He had no doubt of future of cruel, everlasting punishment for just such cats as he felt himself 10 be. He seemed wicked deacon of strict denom- ination of cats, who had broken all the commandments ke knew, and then lied about it. Now that he felt himself face co face with death his agonized soul gave horrible expression to its remorse. The most awakening appeal of the revivalist Sankey was iog-trot psalm compared with the narrowing agony of that half hours uninterrupted song. Occasionally it would snbside into a moan, as of one grieving over his past life. We could al- most distinguish his promises that if he eyer got out of that car alive he would al. ways leave one young robin alive when he robbed e nest, that the next chipmunk he canght he would kill outright, and not torment itfor an hour. ''So help him Be- elzebub r.. He seemed to VOW reparation to half brother, whose name we couldn't catch and whose ear he had chawed of, all about a female of half their years who did not care a rag ten cent piece for either of them. Then grind of the car wheels. threatening instant death, would draw from his inmost soul such diabolic shriek of torture as would startle the very brakenien at either end of the car, and the remorse would glare out of pair of eyes from under the basket lid. flaming dimly, like two candles with long wicks in the daytime. The other cat was a younger and less demonstrative animal. No doubt she had led less sinful life. Once m while she added sympathetic note to her companions melody, but it lacked the earnestness which gave such force to the exercises of the principal performer.
 We cannot help wondering whether. when the old fellow reached his destina. ton. and found he had escaped alive, his expeience on the Shepaug railroad would really influence his subsequent career. Will he really give up his life of cruelty and hypocrisy as he seemed to promise. stop chawing his brethren of the same denom. ination, and intoning long prayers under strange windows 1? '-'''

Torrlnsten Agricultural Fair

 TorrlnRton Agricultural Fair
 The morning of the last Thursday, the day appointed for the opening of the Tor rington Agricultural Fair, was cloudy with the prospect of rainy day, so it was decided to postpone it till oil" Prob '' should bring about change in the pro. gramme. Friday dawned with clear sky and bracing air, with the dust laid by yesterdays rain. At an early hour the farmers from the adjacent country began to assemble. bringing with them their farm products, matronly wives, rugged sons. and handsome daughters, all bent upon devoting day to rational enjoy ment. Soon after ten o'clock the grand caxalcade took up its march through the principal streets, and thence to Valley Park. First came the Wolcottville band, drawn by SIX horses then followed a large wagon. drawn by 8 yoke of oxen. and containing SS young ladies. dressed in white, representing the 3S states of the union. They were seated on an elevated platform, the seats rising one above the other in the form of a pyramid, on the apex of which stood girl representing the Goddess of Liberty, and carrying the American flag. After this came e small cart drawn by two yoke of diminutive steers and manned by six children of Mir. Willard H. Barber, all labelled ''Torring. ton." The cart was fancifully trimmed with evergreens, on which were suspended the various products of the farm. A long line of wagons and carriages completed the procession. '-
 Arriving upon the ground the crowd dispersed; some to the building, where an excellent display of the products of the farm, garden and household were spread out to view some to the tent containing the poultry department and others tC the pens, which were we'll filled with cat tie, sheep, pigs, &c. Space will permi us tospeAk only in general terms of tn, articles exhibited. The display of fruit, was exceptionally varied and fine, severa showing from 10 to g varieties of apples 8 to 6 varieties of pears, to varieties of potatoes. &c. In the ladies department the profusion of patchwork, rag carpets tidies, pictures and frames, wax-fowers and the thousand and one products of wo mans skill attested their ingenuity ant industry About 40 coops of chickens ducks and turkeys, some of them yer, choice fowls. were shown. The displa, of cattle was good, though not as larg' as we might expect i 1c ..-
 The second day of the fair was pleasan and Q larger number was in attendanc' than on the the preceding day. The frs attraction of the day was the exhibition of lady eQuestrianship (snades of Web ster }. Miss - of Rarwintol won the first prize. Then came the trot ting match, for which there were four en tries. Mir. Peck of Falls Village passe, under the wire first, in two straight heats winning the first premium of $40. In tn
 trial of draft oxen Mr. Linus Gilbert tool the first premium ofs40-his oxen drawing 6, 200 pounds

Nearly all the papers in the country have been ringing their changes on the supposed failure of the great man at Washington to stand, one foot on sea and one on solid land. and the poor man no doubt thinks by this time, with the Eng lishmen, that the men who make the news papers are "blarsted hedhitters."

 Next week Chicago is to have a double attraction in the meeting of the American Board. and the closing up of her grand exposition. The chief feature of the ex. position this year is said to be it's Art Gallery-great pains has been taken with it and it is said to be a magnificent col lection. One of the chief beauties of it is that, like a first class musical entertain. ment, everybody considers himself competent judges, and and numerous critics go about the room, 'cussing and discussing" the various pictures, without the faintest shadow of an idea whether they are examining sketch by one of the old masters or ''Northslde Kalsominer. |" The exposition is said to be gotten mp in the interests of the merchants of Chicas O mostly, and fabulous figures are given of the sales of some of the leading merchants
