The DnnI,urY Fair.


 The officers of the Danbury Agricul- tural society report the interest mani fested in the coming fair as far exceed ing anything in it's previous history. Extensive preparations have been made to render this celebrated fair more suc- cassful than ever. More than $80OO has been expended this season alone for permanent i'm provements.
 The track has been regarded and lev. eled, thus removing the hill which has formerly been hindrance to successful racing.
 The grand stand, the largest in the state, has been again enlarged, its entire length now being 280 feet. .. New exhibition buildings have been erected new stables for horses and stalls to accommodate very large mum, Der of cattle.
 Premiums amounting to upwards oi $7OO0, including trotting purses, have been offered.
 So many entries have already been made of some of the choicest blooded stock in the country that it is feared the ample accommodations provided will prove insufficient and the society has been obliged to limit the number of en. tries.
 A new road has been built on the south side of the grounds and thus an. other entrance is provided which will greatly relieve the rush at the main en trance.
 Premium lists and information regard. | ing this exhibition can be obtained iron $. B. Hawley, secretary, Danbury, Ct.

the witnesses received from 50 cents to not over thrcc times that amount. Wit nesses that spent four or five days in time and attendance did not get over the latter sum, SO as far as that part of the expense goes it is small sum. The cheapest kind of lawsuits that I ever saw were these liquor cases, and these are facts.
 We have had peace in our part of the town and I know of none but the ex- treme liquor men that desire change. have talked with as good men as both parties can show and spirit of union prevails about the question and it sounds we'll at home and abroad. Our property is safer and, most of all, our young peo- pie are safer and our taxes are less to keep liquor where it is. Every man that does business or pays a tax or has chil- dren growing up feels this and every thinking person knows it.
 Let us vote on this question with all these facts in view and make no party question of it. WILLIAM SARDAM. l Canaan Tauey, September 22, 1885.
 MT Sardam demonstrates that this town has been benefited by voting "no hcense." So it has. If you doubt it just compare the present with the state of affairs in former years when h- censes were granted, and yet during the past year there has been altogether too much liquor sold in this part of the | town.
 Some people say, "you cannot entire ly stop the sale of liquor in town, you must give it vent somewhere" Very we'll, but there is quite difference be- tween making gimlet hole in wine cask to vent in and in taking out the head of the cask so that every man or woman can fill their bottle that desires to.
 Vote no license; keep the cask headed up; vent it if you must, the fume aris- ing from the vent may possibly intoxi- cate few who wilfully hover around the cask, but it cannot debauch the whole community like the unrestricted sale and drinking of the liquor would. ED. NEWS.

 To 6he Editor of The Ne,cS:
 As our annual town meeting will de- eide on the safe of liquor for the next year, I want to say few words in regard to the matter. Last year it was not in the warning, but understand there is to be no such carelessness this time. No one Is sgitatins the question in our vi- cinity but the old dealers We all know that ID law can be made in North Gan aan without the consent of the dominant party, and I have been more pleased with that party for the last two years for the help they have given the tenn perance people than I can express in mere words. It showed to us all, that the taxpayers were agreed on the ques- tion, and now I hope and pray that they will not go back on the good times we have had, for all must concede that unity in town matters is the nicsst an q best principle to go by.
 The question is here: are we in waat of grogshops and saloons? and that is the way to put it. The question of good roads, or any real want of the public at large comes in the same way. Now let all taxpayers, when the business of our town comes before the meeting, go oa the principle that we will not vote for any needless or immoral thing and we shall do the greatest good for the great sst number every time and be demo- cratic all the time. No matter about party or creed and let us all be tru e to. ourselves as men and voters. Capital is to be made of liquor prose- ,utions and the large expense attending hem, but there has been no large ex- ,ense, for have inquired into the mat pr, and where those case were settled

MOORE'S HAIR STOOD UP.
BaIIOOniRg in am EquInOctial Gale
 40 Miles in 35 Minutes.

Captain A. E. Moore was advertised to make balloon ascension Wednesday, September B, from the Watertown, Ct, fair grounds. Wednesday came, and with it also came an equinoctial gale which blew down the exhibition tent on the fair ground. It IS doubtful if the balloon could have been held captive long enough to infate it in such gale. Captain Moore was 10th to postpone the ascension but finally yielded to the en- treaties and warnings of his friends.
 The wind blew very strong Thursday afternoon and rendered the imitation of the balloon difficult task, but it was accomplished by $40 P. NJ. and the cap tain immediately leaped into the basket, gave orders to 'let go, and in twink ling he was being dragged along the

ground distance of eight or ten rods, and would have been badly mixed up with 150 teams near the fence enclosing the fair ground, had he not, by his presence of mind and dexterity, thrown overheard 50-pound bag of sand. The balloon, thus relieved of this weight, shot up like rocket to the height of 6, 250 feet and sailed in south -easterly direction with velocity exceeding the fastest railway train in the world. Very soon LongIsland sound was in sight and then the captains hair stood on end. The sound must be crossed at the risk of landing on Long Island or in the At lantic ocean or dangerously rapid de- scent be immediately made. There was no time to be lost in hesitating which horn of the dilemma to take, so the captain siezed the valve-cord and allow ed the gas to escape as rapidly as possi- ble, and although the balloon descend ed at fearful rate it was carried by the gale nearly five miles before the earth was reached, and even then would prob ably have landed in the sound had not an opposite current of air been met at a lower strata. The captain landed safely at North Guilford at 4.15 F. M., just 35 minutes after leaving Watertown, hay ing travelled & distance of 46 miles.
 Captain Moore is soon to have bal loon built at Winsted that will cost about $l, 800, will contain 75,000 cubic feet of gas, will hold seven persons and will have for it's first trip journey of 1000 miles, starting somewhere in the center of New York state. It will re- quire 1900 yards of cloth.

HOW SUCCESS is WON. By SARAH X. Boil
TON With portraits. Boston D. Lothrop &
Co.
This handsome volume is made up of
biographies of twelve men who have
achieved distinguished successes in the
various directions in which they turned
their respective energies. Mrs. Bolton
not only rehearses the main incidents Of
their lives, but shows that in every case
the success and honors attained were the
result OF industry, economy, and high
moral principle. Among those selected
to illustrate how success may BIO won
under different circumstances are Peter
Cooper, John B. Cough, John G.. Whittier,
Henry NJ. Stanley, and Alexander II.
Stephens. The several sketches are bright
and pointed, and the portraits which illus
trate them add to their value.
ILLITERACY AND MORNioNISM. By II. r.
WAITE, Phi. d. Pamphlet, forty-three pages
Boston, d. Lothrop Il Co. Washington:
Brentano Brothers.
The subject of illiteracy in our country
has been so fully discussed that the most
startling statistics in regard to it fail now
to make much impression. Tho facts that
DIR. Waite gives are not new. They lie
at the basis of the Blair educational bill,
against which the pamphlet presents
some objections, such as were used at the
last session Of congress.
The discussion of Mormonism in this
treatise is less satisfactory than that of
illiteracy. 1t strikes us that tho writer
has failed to get at the heart of the real
and tremendous evil and danger of the
system, in the absolute and irresponsible
power of the hierarchy. Till this Is
broken the means that the writer sug-
gests to overthrow the system are like
attempting to shut out the cholera from
our shores by the waving Of red flags.
To say that "the people and authorities
of Illinois are in measure responsible
for the development" of this abomina.
tion because they bundled 1t out OF their
borders when II had become intolerable is
little like 0aying that Washington was
responsible for the revolutionary war.
But tho pamphlet is well written, ana
has good deal of valuable information.
