The 11th annual fair. of the New London County Agricultural Society, the first annual exhibition of the Norwich Horticultural society and the observance of the 18th anniversary of the founding of the Central Baptist church were: the chief happenings in Norwich fifty years ago this week. The same week the local clothing system for the winter months and Miss F. M. Calkins was just compiet- ing her history of the City of Nor wich. Extracts from the files of the Bulletin of 1865 are as follows:
 Monday. Sept. 25. .1S65.--The cloth ing dealers have initiated the, early closing movement for the winter, The long winter evenings will soon be up- on us and our merchants generally will find 1t to their advantage, nor
 ally, socialbly and intellectually to fall Tn with the plant and give them selves and their clerks a longer breathing time between their days of labor.
 .s Going to Washington Parish. :.
 Rev. J. V. Lewis. late rector of Trinity, church.. preached yesterday afternoon his farewell sermon to the church, preparatory to leaving for his new field of labor in Washington, D. C. His text was taken from Acts XX:25., The ministry of .Mr., Lewis in this city has been very successful and he carries with him. not alone the best wishes of his parishioners but the good will of all with whom he has become associated during his res- ider1ce here. a <s f1
 Police Keep Sidewalks Clear. |; We are glad to learn that part of
 the duty of the new police is to see
 that the sidewalks are kept clear of merchandise, litter and other ob- attractions. This filling ap of half the sidewalks with barrels, boxes, furni-
 ture and drygoods has come to be a
 first class nuisance.
 Tuesday, Sept. 26, 1S65.-A meeting
 of the members of thes Universalist
 society was held at the church last
 evening to take into consideration the subject of supplying the pulpit lately vacated by the Rev, R. F. Ambler The meeting unanimously expressed a preference for Rev. J. B. Johnson
 formerly of Maryland. The meetine being informal the matter of calling MT. Johnson. will be determined at a l future parish meeting.
