Putnam Patriot Chas. N. Allen. Esq, IS spending his summer vacation at his old home in Woodstock Valley. While on a fishing excursion to pond in Union last week, he captured fine German carp, weighing three pounds. Albert Kenyon of Woodstock Valley Caught one at the same pond weighing four pounds and three quarters.
 Carp? Sure of it? We have heard oi no carp being taken in Holland County waters, though many young spawn were planted therein. Carp culture is regarded as failure in New England.
 The state fair at Meriden begins Sep tember 18th. Secretary Hull asks the merchants, farmers, mechanics, artists and ladies of the state for their hearty CO operation in the exhibition, arguing justly that they possess both the resources anC the abitity for making an exhibition as large, fine, interesting and successful as those in auy part of the country. Witl this cooperation and fair weather, the most gratifying success is confidently look ed for Every effort is promised by the officers to protect from injury all articles submitted for competition or exhibition The premiums are liberal and stimulating and the selection of judges has been ad mirable, precaution, the lack of whicE too often forms the basis of dissatisfaction and fault finding at the termination o1 some agricultural fairs.

ITO THE PUBLIC.

Owing to the development of the Western Farm Mortgage business in my hands, find it inconvenient to devote the necessary time to the prosecution of the Boot and Shoe trade that the business demands. have therefore disposed of the same, and shall only continue the business until the first of Oc- tober, when I retire from the business. In order to dispose of the stock during the next 30 days have decided to give the public a farewell trade benefit. The stock to-day is complete in all departments, but it will be of fered and disposed of at unusual and extraor- dinary low prices. It will be impossible to enumerate and specify prices. But accept an invitation hereby extended to al to examine the stock, and then decide upon the merits of the invitation. Respectfully,

 Courant It has generally been SUD- posed that there was comparative safety in cities from the ravages of cyclones, but the experience of Charleston, s. O., on Tuesday, proves the contrary. The dam- age done by the wind storm is estimated, probably largely, at one million dollars, but in any event property loss which will be very severely felt in city which has suffered so greatly by fire, and has had such discouraging experiences generally during the past twenty-four years. If the calamity is such as to call for outside help, there will be a generous response from every part of the country.

WIND and hail did considerable damage along the river north of Hartford, on Mon- day. At the Windsor line the track of a tornado was evident for distance of sev- eral miles from Bloomfield, northwest of Hartford, to South Windsor, on the east side of the Connecticut river. Along the track, which took in section devoted largely to tobacco culture, the damage is enormous. In South Windsor, a territory of mile in width and two or three miles long, was stripped of it's crop by falling hailstones and the fury of the gale. The loss in tobacco alone is estimated at con- siderably over $10O, ,0OO, or may be nearer $2OO, 1000. Other crops were ruined and whole orchards were swept away in Wind sor and Bloomfield. In the latter place two farmers lost each over one hundred trees. Probably a thousand trees are down in the district traversed by the tor nado.
 TROUBLED WATERS: The new novelbyRe Beverly Ellison Warner deserves hearty welcome as an addition to the fiction of the day, being story with lesson, written with purpose. In his closing chapter the writer says that the ending is different from his original intention; but that the reader is quite apt to have seen before. The tale seems to have been com menced with the purpose to deal with the labor problem, but as its characters were brought upon the stage the writer's in terest seems to have grown until the orig inal purpose of the book has become sec- ondary. But whether read for the story or the novel the reader will we'll be repaid. It deals impartially with the labor ques- tion. The scene is laid in an eastern man. ufacturing city during a season of business depression, and among it's incidents are ''strike," and the wooing of two couples, one under difficulties, the other of young rector whose belief in celibacy for his profession is changed by an affection formed for ''perfect woman" who has been his ally in works of religion, philanthropy and charity. Naturally the story abounds ill stirring scenes, and is none the worse that 1t is made more of story than first intend ed, since its moral thereby is quite as we'll conveyed. MT. Warmers many friends in Stafford, old parishioners and others, will find the work all that their knowledge Of its gifted writer will lead them to expect. It is 8 long time since we have read book with equal pleasure.

Potatoes are looking finely so far as vines are concerned, and good crops are hoped for. Fall feed will be first-class, also rowan. Fruit is abundant and cheap. With good crops we may hope for better times. Working people can certainly hope to live at. less cost, and cotton and wool must also decline, giving mills saving on cost of raw material that will enable them to favor employees as to work and wages.
