Even at that date the mat- ter of consolidation of schools was agitated and it wasp't until re- cently that their wisdom was seen. Extracts of The Bulletin's files of '69 follow: Sept. 208 1869—On Saturday after- noon a lad about 13 years of age, Ro- land Hazen, fell from the branches of a butternut tree, a distance of 15 feet or more; striking on a pile of rocks. He suffered a fractured skull which was trepanned by Dr. Cariton. Having for a week past enjoyed the excitement of a military camp. the stirring strains of martial music, the splendor of uniforms and equipments. and the exhileration of parades and reviews, we come down this week to the more sober joys of the agricul- tural fairs, the fat oxen, the.long leg- ged chickens, the balloons and horse trots and the big squash Sept. 21, 1869—-At a_city meeting held yesterday Mayor Blackstone pre- | siding and John L. Devotion acting as clerk, it was voted to lay a five mill tax on the grand list for current ex- penses and an additional tax of one mill on the list on account of the wa- ter works. In the report of the secretary of the Central School District. B. B. Whittemore calied the attention of the city to the need of consolidation ¥- ing. “The importance of consolidating the schools of the entire city, and in- deed of the whole town is becoming apparent. The educational interests of the city are demanding more com- plete supervision and under the plan of consolidation there would be suf- ficent work to employ the entire time of a superintendent. There was an alarm of fre about 30 last evening caused by the burn- ing of brush a mile or two down the river on the Faat Side. Sept. 22, 1869—The weather great- Iy interfered with the arrangements for the opening of the agricultural fair this mornine. Yesterday was wet and rainy and there were very few at the zrounds. The secretary, however, was kept busy with the entry books and stock was pouring into the grounds. The exhibit of the 'Norwich Horti- cultural society at Breed hall last ev- ening was one af unusual merit.

The following board of education was appointed last evening in the Tow= Street School Distriet: Lewis A. Hyde, G. G. Pitcher, John-T. Fanning, L. A. Hyde was reappointed treasurer and clerk, and Burrell 'W. Hyde was ap- pointed collector for the. ensuing year. Sept. 23. 1869—The second day of the fair was even worse than the first and the rain fell in térrents At inter- vals much to thé disgust of all con- cerned. The exhibits were good, and some fine specimens of oil paintings are shown by Miss J. Miles Standish of Norwich., The fruit and vegetable exhibits are of a high order as are the livestock and poultry. The banks and business Louses in the city closed yesterday to allow their employes to attend the County Fair. A horse and carriage was stolen from the stables of Rathbone vesterday and was located in Baltic later in the ev- ening. Sept. 24, 1869—The third day of the fair was much better than the epening days, although the morning was over- cast, the sun shone in the afterneen and a general good time was emjoved. The horse racing was good, but there was much disappointment over the failure of the balloon to go up. There were several accidents at the fair grounds vesterday resulting in in- juries to vehicles but nebody was hurt . A horse driven by a New London man collided with a team coming down West Main street hill. The men in the buggy jumped out but the vehicle was overturned and smashed. Sept. 1869—The balloon ascen- sion at the fair grounds yesterday merning was one of the prettiest ever seen. The aeronaut remaimed in the air about half an hour. While in the air he dropped a kitten over the side of the basket in a parachute. The kitten came safely to —wmrth. Aquaties in this vicinity are leok- ing up and as a result there have been numerous hoat races on the river. At a meeting of the First Connecti- cut Heavy Artillery in New Haven, a permanent organization was formed with the offieers of the organization mosely residing in that Vieinity.
