The Agricultural Fair Yesterday
 Rain Interferes-A Good Display
 Autumna1 GIorIes.
 John W. Norton met with serious acci- dent on the afternoon of Sunday last in the following manner: The rope to which pail of cream was suspended in his we'll parted, dropping the pail into the water and he went down after it, and when coming up the weight fell, striking him on his head and cutting gash about two inches in length, which bled freely; yet he was able to come out of the well and go into his house with the assistance of his son, who was present. He was able to lie upon the lounge and sit up some on Monday.
 Rev. W. G. Andrews, D. D., returned from his short vacation last Saturday and conducted the services in his own church last Sunday, preaching two able discourses.
 Guilford voted license on Monday last by forty-six majority, and not no license, as the JOURNAL AND COURIER enormously had it.
 Guilford young lady fortunately recov- cred from the ill effects of 8 narcotic mista- kenly marked and directed to be taken as a cathartic.
 Nature is now wearing it's most gorgeous hues and most of our summer visitors could but be astonished and delighted at the mar velous metamorphosis since their departure. The change from the Sound to plain, valley, creek, river, hill, lake and mountain and forest in all their autumnal beauty our town affords can only be appreciated by such as love nature and will take drive from the sea ten miles north to and beyond Bluff Head, view the many beautiful scenes and pros- poets in the mellow light of an October sun ssThe Berkshire hills and valleys' may possi- bly, present more varied and gorgeous seen cry, and if it is so it must be gorgeous in the extreme.
 Our people had looked forward to the tim. for our agricultural fair with many fond an- ticipations of pleasure in the exhibits God had blessed them with an abundance of fruits and good yields of vegetables and grain. but they were doomed to disappoint- ment. The morning was lowering with the wind NNW, and instead of clearing weather, as was natural to anticipate, rain began to fall, the clouds to thicken and the conviction that we were not to realize the coveted fair weather predicted by the weather bureau gradually crystallized into verity.
 The result was that some stayed at home, while some left their exhibits there, notably their live stock, yet the exhibit of cattle was good and that of farm products could not easily be excelled in quality and was large, considering the inclemency of the day.
 The culinary department was relatively large and of excellent quality. The fancy and fine art department was not as full as it would have been in a clear or fair day, but did not suffer in quality. There were some fine specimens of womens handiwork, in cluding ornamental painting and good ex- hibition of Christmas, New Years, Easter and birthday cards by W. B. Coe of Aadi- son, Conn.

The school master of the present day can hardly realize what has happened in the profession during the life and under the eye of MT. Parish. Fifty four consecutive years in the school room, the last years as superintendent of the schools of New Haven, Conn.,; an experience covering every grade and kind of school from the country school of our grandfathers to the modern city high school-these considera- tions give to the readers of the Journal choice morsel not often found in our teach ers' periodicals. MT. Parish in his retire ment still lives in and among the schools. His genial face is often seen in Denver school rooms, and his cheery words are frequent inspiration to the teachers.
