Yesterday afternoon. when the steamer

started one of the large steam pipes near
the boiler. A second sea caused the pipe
to part with quite an explosion. The
saloon was immediately filled with steam
and a little boy named Robert Dailey. of
Birmingham. was scolded to death. and
two men were badly soalded. There
was quite a panic. The Crystal \Vave
soon czimo up and towed the Rosedale
under the lea of Captain‘s Island. where
the passengers were transferred. The
little boy that was killed was the son of
Peter Bailey, who. accompanied by his
wife and three children were on the boat.
The children became hungry. and the
father went down in the dining saloon
and bought a pie for them; when he re
turned Robbie was asleep. and one of the
other children said he would save apiece
of pie for him. The father then went
down to carry the plate back. and when
he returned be found that a panic had
taken place. He quickly got his wife
and two children to a plaoecf safety.
and on returning found Robbie soalded
to death. as above stated.

The Bridgeport Morning News gives
the following istory of‘the regiment:
“The work of raising the Tenth regi-
ment was begun in October 1861, and
was soon com leted. The men Were
from all partao the state. In the latter
part of 1881. the regiment went to An-
napolis. and remained there until some
time in January. 1802. when it was as-
signed to the Burnside expedition. From
the following record some idea of the
service rendered by the regiment can be
obtained:
law—February 8, Roanoke Island.—
Colonel Russell was killed; March 14.
Newborn: December 4. Kinstou: Decem-
ber 16. Whitehall: December 17. Golds
boro Bridge.
1863~June 2‘2. Seahrook Island; Sep-
teuiber 7. Forts Wagner and Gregg: Ju y
18. to October 5th. siege of Charleston:
winter of 1803-4 St. Augustine. More
the regiment lost a number of men who
were taken prisoners. being surprised by
Dickson‘s guerillas. and onlyafow of
these survived the horrors of Anderson-
ville and other irisnn ions.

The hose contest was a fizzle. Only
Hope hose company of Norwalk put in
an ap )eiirnncc, and were greatly dissatisv
fled ecause they were refused first
money. to which they are entitled. The
society has no good excuse for not pay-
ing it. So far as it went as an attrac-
tion. it was the same to them as though
there had been a contest. Indeed bet.
tar. as had they paid first money, as was
claimed. they would have then saved
second and third.
Wednesday the weather was bad. and
notwithstanding the attraction of a live
governor. but few were on the grounds.
His Excellency came by the 11.45 a.ni.
instead of the 12.54 train. as expected.
and only Mr. Noah Bradley was at the
depot to receive him. The governor was
accompanied b three of his staff. They
went to the Ma aokemo and dined. At
one o‘clock they were serenaded by the
St. Augustine band. after which they
were conveyed to the fair ground in a
carriage drawn by four horses. On an
rival at the grounds they were escorted
to the officera‘ tent where they remained
till about three o‘clock. when they Ipixi-
ceeded to the exhibition building. , arc
the governor made a brief speech. in
which he made several happy allusions.
and intermingled very judiciously the
farmer “taffy.‘ He then left the grounds
and took the train east.

has been decided to continue the fair

NIAN‘I‘IC ENCAMI‘MENT.
The State National Guard went into
camp at. Niantic on Monday, where they
will remain till Saturday. The Third
was the iii-stun arrive; then came the
Second. and the First was only M
minutes later. The Fourth came on the
fleld just ahead of the Fifth battalion.
Each was saluted by the butter on ar-
rival and passed immediately to ts quar-
ters. The companies occupy streets as
regulated by the seniority of oomnianv
darn: the sergeants and corporal: have
the heads of the streets and the privates
take their choice. halter-skelter being
the rule for a few moments. The ab-
sence of the sutler's tents which have al-
ways disfigured the rear of the ground
during encampments. and the substitu-
tion of neat mesa houses is a wonderful
improvement. There is one for each
regiment and each is dlvivided into
twelvueetlons. one for each of ten com~
ganles, one for the band and one for the
eld and staff. In the rear of each sec-
tion is a. cook house under the control of
tbmterer selected for the company to
which it is assigned. All the regiments
and the battalion were out for drill Mon-
day afternoon. Last year the First regi-
ment had the only white helmets and
had white leggings for drilllugln fatigue
uniform. This year the other regiments
have white helmets and they wore them
this afternoon: but the First regiment.
although retaining the white leggins,
wore the cloth fatigue caps—s-and one
oompan which appeared with helmets
was on cred back to make a change.
The drill Monday afternoon was remarka-
bly good for the first day in camp. but
evidences of rust were discernible. The
battery. however. seemed to have lost
nothing since the close of last year‘s en<
canipniiiiit. and Captain Lee must devote
himself to a new degree of efficiency as
his command has very little to do in re-
galiilng lost ground. The Fifth battalion
interests everybody in camp. Brigade

Teachers are always held up as great

in morality]. This ear the Boa of
Education oft; it. o t anal with the mob-
ers to close both aye. The teachers, it.
seems, are no better than the board. and
lace this Friday afternoon temptation
fore the children. It is time that a
little common sense was used in school
affairs. By the modernizing process of
teaching. it is almost impossible for
parents of moderate means to keep chil-
ren at school years enough for them to
get an education. Vacations arolengtb-
ened. and increased in frequency until a
pupil only goes to school a little more
than halt the time. Every time the
teachers want a day off school must. be
dismissed and valuable time lost. ltis
time the schools were run on business
and common sense principles, and this
detrimental practice of "letting out
school" on the occasion of almost every
public event ceased. Canaan tell how
