The Fair opened here Tuesday. The
weather was cloudy, windy and show
cry, and the attendance light. To-day
wednesday, opens fair and the pros
pect for a better attendance is good.
There is nothing to draw a crowd only
the products of the soil, "hJss trot,"
etc. We shall give the doings in full
next week.
Charles Dean handed us Monday
morning raspberry sprig that had
ripe berrys on it--second crop. 1t was
as handsome and prolific as if it had
been plucked in July. He found it
near his residence at the factory bridge.
1t is a pity that those comets could
not have been discovered earlier in the
season. 1t is q little too cool for lovers
to sit on the front piazza and watch
them now.
Frank P. Archibald has q fine stock
of marble at his works on High Street,
among which are fine specimens of for
eign marble that he is manufacturing
into shelves, that for style, quality and
finish have never been equalled in these
parts. Call and see them and You
will be sure to buy.
This is the season when the mos
quito and the bed-bug exchange greet
ings at the summer resort. Mosquito
-"Good-bye-stick to your post"
(They shake hands.) Bed-bug-
"Au revoir, old boy"
The old Tribou house which was
moved last fall to the Jacob Anderson
lot, in front of the depot, and intended
for tenement house, is being con-
verified into barn.
There has been quite shaking up
in the ready made clothing business
the past week. Will Hewitt has
bought John S. Eaton's stock and will
move it into the store now occupied by
H. +. Royce & Co., October lst,
while H. f. Royce & Co. will locate
in cred Front" Mr.. Eaotn's old
store, as will be seen by an advertise.
ment in to-day's AGE.
An able writer gives utterance to
this valuable secret: "This looking
forward to enjoyment doesn't pay
From what know of it, l would as
soon chase butterflies for living, or
bottle moonshine for cloudy night
The only way to be happy is to take
the drops of happiness as God gives
them to us every day Of our lives
The boy must learn to be happy while
is learning his trade; the merchant
while he is making his fortune. If he
fails to learn this art he will be sure to
miss his enjoyment when he gains what
he has sighed for"
1t is said that the cucumber crop
throughout the country has been sadly
nipped by the late frosts. Glad of it.
Now the cucumber knows how it feels
itself.
Mr.. Nathan Woodbury's funeral,
whose death we had only time to mere
ly announce, as the forms were on the
press when we heard the sad news,
was attended at the Universalist church
last Friday, Rev. Elmer Hewitt ofici-
ating. There was a large congrega-
ton of people present, among them his
brother Masons, who took charge of
the remains at the close of the church
service and conveyed them to their
final resting place in the cemetery near
West Woodstock. He had a paralytic
shock few months ago from which he
never fully recovered, and heart dis
ease terminated his existence suddenly
on Wednesday last. Mr.. Woodbury.
Was widely known citizen, and al.
though full of years and honor, his
death is greatly lamented by all who
knew him.
Our Taltsville correspondent replies
to that note in the last AGE, on the
Hartford Soldiers Reunion, but as we
go to press few hours earlier this
week, it will have to 60 over until our
next issue.
Frank p. Archibald at his Marble
Works on High street is getting up a
beautiful monument for Mr.. Charles
Carlisle Of this town, to be set up in
his lot in the cemetery on Christian
street, in Norwich. 1t is of the best
marble, very handsome design, and
the workmanship cannot be surpassed.
1t is neat, but not gaudy.
The funeral of Joel Eaton was at.
tended at the Episcopal church, Of
which he was devoted member, Sat.
urday afternoon. The attendance was
