' Sunday rule and Licenses.
A‘special efi'ort is now being made to stop
the sale of liquors in the Borough on Sun-
days, and to prevent-the sale at all times by.
apalerswho have not obtained licenses. A I
- committee, df prominent gentlemen connect-
ed'w‘ith Our varidus churches was recently
appointed to bring these matters before the
Court‘of'Burgesses and to urge that body
to takewhat'ever action in the premises they
legally could _toaccomplish the purposes in
view. They presented a numerously sign-
edpetition to the Court, and in response
the Court appointed a special committee,
consisting of Messrs. Adams, Price and
Hands to confer with Warden Weed and to
take whatever steps may be necessary in
the matter. All citizens interested are urged
to confer with the Mayor and the Commit-
tee, and to do all in their power to assist
them in accomplishing the much desired
objects. .
Our Harbor Improve-ent.
The contract for continuing the Govern-
ment work in digging out our harbor has
been awarded to Mr. E. R. Seward of
Albany, the gentleman who executed the
work last year. He has had much experfi
ience in contracts of this kind, and will
bring men to do the work who thoroughly
understand the business, He writes that he
expects to complete his arrangements at
once, and will commence work in about
two weeks. Mr. John H. Lee has again
:been appointed Government Inspector, and
will give faithful attention to his duties.
Mr. Starr, we believe, will continue as Engi-
neer in charge. The contract price is much
less than last year. ‘

. The Center School.
This school opened promptly last Monday
and was conducted during the week in a
very satisfactory manner by the lady teach-
ers. On Friday morning the committee
' closed. an engagement with Mr. Earle G.
Baldwin to fill the position of Principal,
and he commenced his duties yesterday
morning. Mr. Baldwin studied at Amherst
College, and has had about ten years expe-
rience as a teacher. He comes here from
Belchertowu, Mass. The school is in excel-
lent couditlon, and it is the desire of the
committee that its course shall continue to
lie “onward and upward.

The roll-
Commences next Tuesday. Read the pro.
, gramme, call and get a Premium List, and
do alliu your power to assist the managers
in making its grand success.
Our citizens generally will regret to hear
of the contemplated removal of Mr. Richard
P. Hart and family from Norwalk. Mr,
Hart came here several years ago for the
purpose of educating his children, and next
month removes to New Haven where the
education of his sons will be continued at
Yale College. The family have made hosts
of friends here who will be sorry to part
with them. ' 3"

San Accmmvr.——A sad accident occurred
at the residence of Mr. Geo. W. Shaw, on
:Ri‘vcrsideAvenueLIast Saturday afternoon,
resulting in serious injury to Mrs. Currence
Hell‘ogg. [A teamster was cndeavoring to
' enter. the yard with a, load of coal ; it being
up a steep grade the Horses were unable to
get ,up it when Mrs. KellOgg, who happened
'to be'calling at the house, tried to assist the
driver by blocking the wheels so as to give
the Horses a rest. ‘ Before accomplishing
her purpose, however, the team suddenly
backed down and pinned her between the
wheel and gate post. Three men were call-
ed to extricate her from her painful position.
No bones are broken, but her injuries are
very severe.

but the Republicans polled about three to

and four candidates were in the field; the

dates. ' ' '

We notice several fine shadeItrees on
Union Park which have been badly girdled
by horses. This is an outrage that some
borough enactment ought to. prevent. In
Washington the shade trees are protected
by a fine of ten dollars for each sndevery
injury of thekind, one-half the fine going to
the informer. The penalty is not too sc-
verc, for a thrifty shade tree is a matter of
years of patient one as well as of dollars,
and the careless tout who will hitch a; horse
to such ought to be punished.

annual reunion on Thursday last, in Bridge-
port. The streets were early

their families and guests. Gui
The Fairfleld County Regiment held its
througed with
A large number
Guards,) acted as escort 'to the vets. them
the depot to the G. A. R. Hall where the
business meeting was held, and elicited
warm commendatious for their soldierly
bearing.’ 3e
At the business 'ting, the following
oflcers were elected for the ensuing year:
President, Timothy Donovan, of the Dan-
bury New ; Vice-Presidents, Capt. Henry
Quinn, of Danbury and Sergeant Bosworth,
of Bridgeport; Secretary, Lieut, George C.
Peck, of New York; Corresponding Secre-
tary, Licut. Henry Hues, of New York;
Treasurer, Lieut. A. W. Peck, of Newtown ;
Executive Committee, Lient. Geo. W. Shaw,
Norwalk, and Sergeant George C. Lees, of,
Westport. Licut. Shaw extended an invite-
liou to hold the next annual reunion at Ner-
walk, which was accepted.
At 18 o'clock the has formed on Fairficld
‘ Avenue, Co. B. taking the lead, headed by
the admirable band of the 4th Regiment ie.
Wheeler and Wilson's. Veterans of the
17th then followed, after which came the
Mayor of the city'and invited guests in car-
riages. The route lay through the most
hcautiful part of Bridgeport, and the streets
were filled with crowds of lockers on. The
regiment proceeded to Sea Side Park and
halted at the unfinished Soldiers' Monument.
Capt. Dunhsm here spoke briefly and Col.
Hoyt being called for made a few remarks.
Passing through the grounds of P. T. Bar.
num and arriving at Franklin Hall, a collao
tion was found awaiting the assemblage.
The tables were beautifully adorned and
loaded down with delicacies as well as more
substantial food. The citizens of Bridgeport
had out-done themselves on this occasion,
and shown more than their wonted liberali-
ly. A blessing was asked by the Rev. Mr.
Maxcy and then the boys fell to with a will
and proceeded to attack the fortifications be-
fore them. _ They soon demolished them like
good soldiers. Not a man fiinched, not a
single soldier shrunk from the tilt-ck and
the entire gathering showed themselves -to
be fully equal to the occasion. ’
The gathering was especially an occasion
of pleasure to the lady members ’of the sol-
diers families,.msny of whom were present-
TheHall was beautifully " rated with flags
and banners. When thd antiof the inner
man were cared for the intellectual part of
the‘ proceedings began, The .jH-ong R. T.
me, Mayor of the city was first intro-’
duced by Capt. Dunhsm, and made smoot-
- eloquent response giving a graphic history
of the exploits and record of Itbc'l'lth regi-
menh He closed subslsi‘sifilty' as follows:
All honor to the gall-it? 17th; Here to-
day with full houl‘lo‘we welcome its living
members and we keepiin sacred memory its
heroic dead. “
The left home and fl'icnds, the braved

wounds and death to avert disaster from the
land they loved. Never will .a grateful-
.;§iiutry for et their patriotic devotion.
i ever will t c muse of history cease to sing
their glorious mood of praise. -
The Mayor was followed by Sergt. Dono-
van, President of the Association, who spoke
briefly and was loudly applauded. A senti.
ment was then offered to the memory f the
dead in response to which all silently an».
P. T. Barnum then being introduced made a
characteristic speech. S. B. Sumner of the
49th Massachusetts Volunteers read a very
appropriate poem in honor of the 17th, fol-
lowed by music by the Band. The audience
were now aroused to the highest enthusiasm
and Col. Hoyt of Greenwich was called out.
He spoke briefly and well was greeted with
great applause. Rev. Mr. Msxey then fol-
lowed, speaking eloquently, and he in turn
was followed by Chaplain Cofiee of the 27th
N. Y. Then Gen. W. H. Noble of 17th, ad-
dressed his old comrades viudicating the
11th Corps at Chancellorsville, claiming that
the whole blame on that day belonged on
the shoulders of Gen. Howard, and read an
extract from a Western paper which report-
ed a conversation with Howard in which he
acknowledged that the disaster was ghis
fault. The colors of the 27th N. Y. Ragi-
meut were here moved to the front and sa-
luted with three cheers, and Col. Underhill
of that regiment responded with eloquence,
and was warmly applauded. Col, Allen of
the 17th, having been repeatedly and loudly
called, for, responded in a few remarks Ind
offered a resolution which was immediately
adopted, as follows: .
Resolved, That a vote of thanks be tender-
ed to the citizens of Bridgeport for the hos-
pitable manner in which we have been re-
ceived and entertained this day, cud especi-
ally to the, committee cou'sistin of Gen.
Noble, Capt. Dunhsm, Dr. '- Hub , Dr.
Gregory and Capt. North, for their indefa-
tiga lo efforts to make this reunion a suc-
cess.
Letters of regret were received by the
committee from Geus. Sherman, Siege], Han-
cock, Hawley, Dickinson, and others, but
we have only room for an extract from that
of Senator Buckingham’s. He wrote:
“I shall never fo cf the enthusiasm mania
tested at a meeting old in your city to fill
the regiment. In that introduce gatherin
i
all were impressed with the peril of the
vernmenwud the ' ' ace of putting
own the rebellion at Llhccost of money
and blood, in which sunrises!)- citizens of
your city and county fidblymnd voluntarily
shared. It was that spirit which organized
the regiment and sons it .fqrth to save the
life of the nation through the death of Wal-
ters, Bowie and Moore, and; other patriotic
sons of tieut. Say toyonr comrades
that I also deny to , nature if I did not
mourn with them the on of the dead and
if I did not remember . iy those who
survive. , Ask them at what Erica they
would art with theirrecord 'un instead of
regret am confident the response would be,
let our country wheu'iu denser call and we
will renew the sacrifice, Such is still the
spirit Whichgburns in the; hearts of the legit-
imate sons of Connecticut." .

The Neptune Club.
This Club is rapidly growing to be one Of
the “great institutions" of the place." Th
annual meeting of lhememben’wus held
on Friday night “last 'iu' tll'eparior of Pio-
neer Hook item _Co._, and was very
largely attended. The formality of electing
ofl gone through with, but we fail-
ed to notice any changes. It is evident
.that the members are satisfied to “let well
enough alone," and that the present popular
oflcials will long hold their positions. An
hour spent in pleasant greetings and sociali-
ty, when the Commissary’s whistle was
heard summoning all “below’deck.” Tile-s
was a sight to behold! A table was laid the
entire length of_thc room, and the Commis-
sary had made a “spread” worthy ’of the
occasion.
One feature of the ornamentation. was a
large boquet in front of each guest, with a
small fiag inscribed “Neptune Club, 1874,"
altogether making a grand efi'ect. Fifty-
four members and invited guests partook of
supper. Harmony and good-fellowship
reigned supreme,.and that, too, with no
drinks stronger than comic and lemonade.
Commodore Tompkins presided,and did not
allow the interest to flag in the least.
A toast brought out Chaplain Simouson,
who made an eloqu speech, closing with
the formal presentat on to the Commissary,
in behalf of the Club,ofa set of Silver
Ware, five pieces, valued at over .50. The
pieces were inscribed : “ Presented to Frank
Mead, Commissary of the Neptune Club, by
the membersof the Cruise of 1874.” The
modest recipient could not find words to
express his surprise and appreciation. and
called upon Col. H. W. R. Hoyt to dose
for him. Of course the cvebready Col. did
so, in a happy manner, and threw iu-‘inuch
beside.‘ Then the speeches that followcdl
.“ oh, my l" Hon. E. F. Willis', of New
York, was amuch called upon man, and
always equal to the occasion. But we can-
not enumerate. Suffice it to say that fifty-
four men responded, some briefly, some
profusely and frequently, and that stories
and reminiscences followed each other until
we began to think the love-feast was plau-
ued to last all night in order to save hotel
bills for out-of-towu members.
At half-pact two, however, the last man
had his last say, the Chaplain's “Roll Call"
was sung, hands were wrung, and the very
enjoyable Reunion of 1874 was another
Club Reminiscence. ' r

Upon
“Tiling fi'om the cars a line of march was
immediately formed and route taken up for
the Camp Ground, situated some half mile
from the depot. Here we found the 2d
Regiment already upon the ground and in
their quarters, with tents set for. our accom-
modstion. An informal guard mounting
in earnest. Blankets,'ticks, straw, and
er accoutrements of camp life were
necessary for one nights comfort, and they
were put in the hands of the quartermaster.
Requisitious were made out for the necessa-

commutation. The company streets were
full of officers and men and camp furniture,
sky bugliug around and mixedup in every
direction, and everybody seemed as full of
business, as earnest and enthusiastic as a
hive of bees in ‘a molasses barrel. .But at
last it was ended, the last article distributed
and the quarter-misster lived and so did the
rest of the regiment. Beds were made, (and
queer making of beds it was,—a bundle of
straw in a coarse army tick well stirred up.
and deposited upon the soft side of a board
or upon the grguud)—‘the ofilcers tents put
in order and the general business of the
night attended to and we went to supper.
Arrangements had been made at the Morton
House, in the village, for the accommoda-
tion of a special'few, and thither it was we
repaired, and we needed repairing wonder-
fully. To say that we did justice tothwt
meal would be a farce of the-whole proceed-
ing. . It shackle—nine o’clock and after-
and thovmost’of us had partsken of nothing
Lindbreakfast and the way-we "charged”
into that provender was a caution to oysters.
Sergeant Foote stored away enough com-
missary stores to stufi‘ the entire regiment a
week, while the gastronomic abilities of
Payinaster Randle and Adjutant Hubbell
were not far in the tier by pay means, in
fact we all had good appetites. The ser-
vant girls looked on in astonishment and
the hotel proprietor leaned up against the
window post and wept. '
Upon returning to camp things were dis-
covered to be rather yeasly, the boys had
completed their arrangemeiits for the night,
obtained their rations, felt good and were
giving free vent to avoid explosions, and
such times and such fun you never see or
heard of. Foot racing, wrestling, and toss’
ing iii blankets, and rail riding, serenading,
singing, shouting and story telling,—tin
horns, 'sccordeons, drums, banjos, violins,
jews harps, and the mischief knows what all
to make a noise and add to the general din
and confusion. And thus they had it all in
the best of humor, the two regiments join-
ing inthe sport together, and the ofllcers of
both looking on, apparently enjoying it as
well as’ any one. At 10:34tsps were sound-
ed, and a half hour later the camp was
quiet enough for. sleeping purposes. We
stirred up Our little ticks of straw and went
to bed. An occasional tdot from a fish born
—the measured tread of a guard on duty—
a “halt i advance and give the countersign"
broke the stillnessof the, night air and then
all was still, and we slept, slept the sleep of
a note out .at ten per cent. interest.
The encampment had been named “Camp
Ledyard" in honor of the distinguished
patriot leader who fell pierced through the
body with a British bayonet while gallantly
defending Fort Griswold, on 'Groton
Heights, in 1781. - The routine of duty as
prescribed at headquarters and distributed
in a neatly printed form for reference, was
Brigade drill, 8:30 p. in.
Police call, 5 p. m.
Dress parade. brigade, 6 p. m.
Supper call, 7 . m.
Tuttoy, roll coil, 9 p. m.
Tsps,10:80 p. m.
This certainly was no play, but the boys
were up fresh and early Tuesday morn-
ing and ready for business. They were in
camp with the “crack regiment" of the
State. and had come with a determination
to equal them at least and to excel them if
possible. The day was spent in drilling and
the usual duties of camp life. The 4th
Regiment established itself them the begin-
ing, as being fully up to the capacity of‘
"doing things" as neatly and as accurate as
any body. During the evening both regi-
mental bands serenaded Brig. Gen. Cran-
furd at his quarters. and were handsomely
entertained. Wednesday evening the 4th
Regiment hand, accompanied by the colonel
and staff, serenaded the “Mayor” of N iantic
at the Morton House. They were invited
in, where refreshments of excellent quality
were served and a general good time in-
dulged-in. A Hop followed at which a few
of the ofiicers took a hand. More would
have participated. but when a 250 lb. woman
jumped up and, cracked her heel and
his ahouldersaud carried him ofi‘ as though
a simoon, had struck him, knocking into
smitheréeus everything they run against in
the room, they thought it was about time to
leave, and they‘did, taking a bee line for
the Camp Ground as though several simoons
were momentarily expected to gobblqthem.
The field and staff of the 4th Regiment are
a very reserved and modest set of men.

Fonnn Gum-m— On Tuesday last, at the
criminal term of the Superior Court, held
at Bridgeport, Patrick Daugherty was found
guilty of killing Margaret Dale, at N orwalk,
and sentenced to State Prison for a term of
seven years. The parties were both tramps,
and the deed was done while the prisoner
was in a state of beastly intoxication, and
probably his victim also. No one believes
that he deliberately murdered her, or that be
entertained a thought of injuring her. He
was simply drunk and unconscious, but if a
man witfget drunk he must be held respon-
sible for his deeds while in that state. Dough-
erty will suffer justly. Seven ‘years of a
man’s life is a long time to be spent in pris.
on for a deed committed in a day's drunken
spree. Think of it, ye who are given to
drink.

The edifice will be constructed of brick and

We stated last week that an effort was be-
ing made to secure Wannemacher’s celebra-
ted Band for an evening concert. This week
we are happy to say that Wannemacber has
been secured and will give one of his fine
Concerts at Lockwood’s Hall, on Wednes-
day evening, of this week. Wannamacher’s
well known reputation will be a sufiicient
guarantee of the excellence of the music,
and the low price of admission together
with the fact that it is for the benefit of
Phoenix Fire Engine 00., of this place, to
help enable them to take the Band with
them on their. excursion to Waterbury, (the
onlyexcursion they have made out of town
in twelve years,) ought to ensure a full

zens will turn out and Q the boys a rous-

These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cares of Consumption than an other remedy
known to the American ublic. hey are com-
pounded ofvegetahle in rents,and contain noth-
‘Iilg which can be injurious to the human constitu-
on.
Other remedies advertised as cares of Consump-
tion, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients it must do great injury; for
its tendenc is to confine the morbid matter in the
sygltem, w ch, of course, must make a cureiinpos-
s e.
Scheuck’s Palmouic Syrup is warranted not to
contain a. particle of opium: It is composed of
wcrful but harmless orbs, which act on the
ungs, liver, stomach and blood and thus correct
all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
by which consumption can be cured, and as
Schcnck’s Pulmonlc Syrup, Sea _Weed Topic, and
Mandrake Pills are the on y medicines which ope-
rate in this wriy‘.l it is obvious they are the cal en-
tian cure for lmonary Consumption. Eac_ ot-
