to. lHEACHlSHUME. At last the members of CO. L, Third regiment, U. S. V. I. have reached town. Despite the many disappointments of Tuesday morning and during the daya crowd even larger than that in the earlierpart of the day assembled at the railroad station in the evening and patiently awaited the arrival of the veterans. The Norwalk band, Phoenix, Hope and Pioneer. East. Nor-walk firemen, the Fire Police, the Knowlton Drum Corps and Grand Army men were in readiness to escort the " boys ” to the Arml‘ory as soon as they should arrive. Shortly after 9 o’clock about a dozen of them stepped from the train that had just arrived. The crowd was some— what disappointed that there was not a larger number, but appeared content when informed that the rest were on the way and would. probably reach South Norwalk at 10:10 o'clock. This proved to be the fact and as the train pulled into the depot the remain— ing members jumpsl from the train and were given a hearty and cordial welcome. .

Belden Hurlbutt and others of the re- ' ,'\ 1.1" .4 ception committee, and to t music of hand and drum corps, marched to the Armory, where a crowd had been _ anxiously awaiting their coming. .As the approach of the procession “was heralded there was an almost spon- taneous burst of applause, which scarcely ceased until the soldiers and escort were well into the hall, the floors of which had been kept almost «entirely free from outsiders, two seu- being kept actively engaged in that service. The balcony women and cnildren, many of whom could not gain seats, but courageously remained standing until the proceed- ings came to an end shortly after 12 -itrries was crouvd ed with O’clock. As the company L members filed in- to the Armory there was a perfect storm of cheers. The veterans march- ed to the long table at the extreme left of the entrance, and soon were busily ' engaged in making war on the edibles with which the table was freighted. Other organizations occupied the re- maining four tables. The scene from the balcony was, patriotically inspiring. After the sol- diers, etc. had satisfied their appetites, there came a. season of speech making, all excellent and the greater enjoyed because brief. Among the speakers were Rev. Dr. T. K. Noble, Attorney J. Belden Hurl- butt. Captain Murphy and Lieut. Bloom ,of Co. L, and others.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the country than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat- ment, pronounced itincurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a. constitu- tional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca- iarrh Cure,’ manufactured by F. J. Cheney & (30., Toledo, Ohio, is the Only constitutionalcure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct- ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They Ofi'er one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.
