HaVWlnton FaIF.

The Harvinton "World's Fair." of the 9th inst, was 6 success, like all preceding exhibitions of our town society.
 Although Tuesday opened with threat ening weather the clouds soon broke away, and early in the morning one could stand in the Green in the Center and see the roads in four different directions lined with splendid teams of cattle coming in from all parts of the town. Following these came all sorts of vehicles. from the phaetOn tO the family carriage. filled with interested spectators.
 Every one of our twelve School Districts was represented. No. 4. took the pre- mium on the best team of cattle; and Mo-. G took the premium on the greatest num- Der (4 pairs) There was | good show of young stock, and some nice. pigs. sheep. bulls, etc.. were exhibited.
 In the Fruit department was fine col lection of apples. pears, potatoes, ,squashes, beets, onions, pumpkins. grapes, cranber- ries, carrots. parsnips, turnips. and other fruits and vegetables. ... .-...
 Among the Fancy Articles were tidies. lamp mats. work baskets. hanging bas- kses. rag carpets. pictures, etc, with the inevitable reed organ playing the inevita- ble tunes which are supposed to please the rural ear.
 Growing hungry you sit down to the Society's table and have good time, or go to Abe Turner's for the oysters which are legal tender at all fairs anywhere with. in 20 miles of his headquarters at North field.
 We must not forget the horse-women, Misses Cook, Wilson and Hayden, who gracefully managed their fiery steeds be- fore an adMiring and appreciative assem- blaze.
 The number of people present exceeded that of any previous year so look out for arcal glorious Centennial turnout in 1876!
 The base ball tournament has already found it's way. more or less correctly, into the Enquirer. To the charge of the Win sted Herald that we had players from New York. Thomaston. and every other noted place this side Alaska, we would reply that the Winsted Nameless included play CTS from three other clubs, besides one from the Gunnery, of Washington.

SHARON

We were glad to record the success ot citizens tickets in so many towns in thi. county at their recent annual meetings. Such meetings ought not to be mere. DO
 itical contests, and the public are unde, obligation to any who act on . more lib. eral principle. If Mir. Bartram engineer. cd the citizens movement in Sharon, il strikss us that he did good thing; but the gentleman who writes us the follow ing lstter evidently thinks differently ED. Excl - F
 MR EDrroR:-The notice in last En- quireF of the late town meeting in sharon, while correct in some particulars, is in other respects calculated to carry an ex- tremely erroneous impression. The wri- ter states that the ''citizens' ticket" was elected sOith one exception over the regu- lar Democratic nominations of majorities of from forty to sixty. Very true; but that one exception was the nominee for Treasurer, Isaac N. Bartram, and who h0d held that o6sce the foast yeur. This person was the chief engineer in getting up the reform, !" or citizens ticket, and then attended with his friends the regu- lar Democratic caucus, with a view of forcing that ticket, including himself, upon the old line Democracy of the town. Tn this attempt he failed, his band being Outnumbered two to one, but determined tO ''do or die. he got up 8 meeting of his own after the adjournment of the reg ular caucus. The regular Democratic nominee for Treasurer was George H. Chase. Esq, an old inhabitant, Liberal of 1872, and in every respect admirably qualified to discharge the duties of the OERee. He received 70 other nomination except the regular Democratic, while Bar tram had the ''citizens' reform" and that of the Democratic boilers. That Mir. Chase should have been elected over Bar tram is a compliment to tine intelligence of the Sharon electors, it is surprising your correspondent omitted to mention in his notice of the contest. In conclusion, if the ''reformers" are pleased, the old Democracy are no less, "reioiced to see the cuSs removed" PUTNAM.

"Reminiscences of Mormon Atrocities

A Colinsville Conn correspondent OF the
Hartford Post says: aaron Smith, for many
years Il well known mechanic in the employ
ment of the Collins Company, has given your
correspondent the following statement of
his personal knowledge of the Mormon cruel.
ties: Mr.. Smith was u member of Company
+, Tenth regiment, United States Infantry,
under the command of General Albert Sid
new Johnston, sent to the West at the time Of
the threatened war with The MormOns, and
was at the scene of the Mountain Meadow
massacre eighteen months after that terrible
affair in 1857, and saw the ground strewed
with hair and bones Of the murdered victims,
from which animals and birds had eaten all
the lesh In the fall Of 1859 Orderly Ser
gean, Ralph Pike, Jr., of CO. /, was ordered
with company of men to break up nest of
Mormon freebooters in Bush Valley, who
were under the leadership of Spencer, Nor.
mon elder, and during the conflict Pike in
self defence, knocked the elder down. The
next year company of Mormons went forty
miles to the military camp, ard arrested Ser
geant Pike, and took him to Salt Lake City
| for trial, and while the trial was IN progress
Elder Spencer, with loaded rife, watched
! for Pike as he came from the court room, and
shot HIM on the street, and then mounted his
horse and rode off unmolested. News of the
murder was at once sent to the camp which
aroused the most intense excitement and in
i digna;on General Johnston ordered the
troops in readiness for an early march to
avenge this brutal outrage. Cummings terri
ltorial Governor at that time, on learning OF
the murder and excitement among the sol
diers, ISSUED an order forbldding the army
TO avenge the outrage, and the murderer was
never punished. Sergeant Ralph Pike was
a brother of Calvin Pike. now of Collinsvile
and from him we received corroborative proof
of the foregoing statements"

From Utica.

UTICA, Aug, 2Gth, 1875.
We believe that TIE gentlemen who were
about to edit paper here acted very wisely
by not doing so, for il requires a pen as des-
criptivc as that of Hogarth and an magma
ton as fertile as the soil of Illinois to manu-
facture suflicicncy from the occurrences OF
this place for one column in any of our
county newspapers.
If teams and wagons tend to add q spri CHIT
~ aspect to place, Utica has this week been
lively In the extreme. But oar merchants
say that money is scarce, or the farmers have
bountiful supply of every thing tina. is ne
cessary for the subsistence of human nature
Corn today brings nice price, (60c.) }, yet
we understand that our most sagscious pur'
chasers, notwithstanding the giant crop that
is in the farmers every field, are boarding II
up for fall speculation.
We don't wonder that G. Geswin, the Mar
settles boot and shoemaker, returned to that
place, for Mr.. Kelly has monopolized the
trade here, and Is such master of his busi-
ness that he can readily reinstate irreparablc
soles.
Mr.. uuette, after his tour to Ohio, where
he renamed almost a month, has this week
been shaking hands with his many friends
at this place.
John Ncary, of Indiana, is now here visit
ing his old home, relations, schoolmates and
friends. Welcome, John.
In this paper last week it was stated by a
