Baxter-Mather. »
One of the happiest weddings ever ..
held in Windsor Locks, was that at the"
residence of Mrs. Wm. Mather, at 7:30 .
,o’clock last evening. The contracting
parties were Eloise, daughter of Mrs.
Mather, and- Mr. Frederick Lyvere‘
Baxter, of South Norwalk. The bridal
party, to the music of Colt’s orchestra,
of HartfordLmarched through the spa-
cious parlors preceded by Dr. H. W.
Northrop, of New _ York, Arthur 1).
Coffin, of Windsor Locks, Everett
‘ Noyes, of Stamford, and Edmund E.
Crowe, of this city, to an alcove, which
was a perfect bower of choice flowers,
the Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Windsor
Locks, spoke the words that made them
man and wife until death do them part.
The bride looked beautiful in a dress
of white faille francaise, lace _trim-
mings, diamond and pearl ornaments
and in her hand“ a bouquet of choice
roses.
The maid of honor, Miss Ethel Math-
er, was prettily attired ina pink surah.
There were 200 guests present.
The wedding supper by Habenstein
of Hartford, was a marvel in the cui-
sine art.
Mi'. and Mrs. Baxter were in receipt
of hundreds of valuable and beautiful
presents. ' They left on the 10 o’clock
express for Springfield, from whence
they will start on a five weeks’ tour of
all the leading cities and watering
places. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter have
many friends in South Noawalk, who
will wish them every happiness, as does

A‘Letter From Buchholz.
The following letter from Wm. Buch-
holz, who is in the Wetbersfield prison
under a life sentence for the murder of
Wm. Schultze in this city, was written
to Alvin Neukerchner, also of South
Norwalk, which was interpreted and
transcribed for us by Editor Ellen-
dorf :——
WETHERSFIELD, July 26, 1891.
DEAR‘iFRIEND:——
I have read your letter with much
emotion-and with tears of profoundest
gratitude. The contents of the box
were very acceptable, indeed, and I am
at loss how to thank the Pitzer’s family
and the other good friends for their
kindness. You cannot imagine what
consolation these tokens of love and
friendship are to me in the midst of my
sufferings, compelled, as Iam to live in
.a place where all the joys of intercourse
with one’s friends are wholly wanting,
and the restraints to which are so det—
rimental to my well being. Still, I
trace all this back to the hand of an
inscrutable Providence, which doubt-
less, has shaped my fate for some hid-
den purpose of its own.
I have received a letter from Mr.
Bollman in which he advises me to en-
gage a first class and influential law-
yer, who should petition the Board of
Pardons in my behalf, exp laning fully
my case and the reasons existing for
pardoning me and who should act as
my attorney at the hearing. He sug-
gested' to me the name of W. C. Case,
of Hartford, and I have written to my
friend Rosentretu in Philadelphia, to
communicate with you on this matter.
I understand that Mr. Bollman has
ceased to be Chief of Police and has re—
turned to his law practice.
May God bless all your endeavors to
restore to me my liberty. Accept, to-
gether with all other friends for all the
kindness and generosity shown to me
in the past, my most heartfelt grati-
tude. j, . .
I remain as ever. your friend,
WILLIAM Bucnnonz.

[Proposed Odleellows’ Home.
Odd Fellows’ lodges all over the state
are discussing the, question of an Odd
Fellows’ Home. At the last session of
the grand lodge,“ Judge Cowl of Wa-
terbury, and at‘prese'nt grand master of
the state, made a {proposition to give
' fifty acres of land hear Waterbury for
an Odd Fellows" Heme if the ‘ several
I lodges in the stateigwould raise the sum
necessary for the erection of buildings.
.: Itis proposed to levy a tax of $1 per
; year on each member of the order in
; the state. As there are about‘_13,000_
Q members, the amount required for‘
handsome and substantial buildings
where, under a handsome floral horse— ;
shoe, the bride and groom stopped and =
could in a few years be raised, and with
scarce any one member feeling the out-
lay.__ The lodges throughout the state
are voting on the question, and soon
the state officers of the order will know
what the feeling is regarding the Home.
It is to be hoped that the members will
see the matter in the light of a great
benefaction, as other states have al~
ready found these homes to be. The
grand oflicers are heartily in favor of
the idea.

The Elm Tree’s Foes.
The insects that are working such
damage to the elms, this season, are de-
scribed atlength by Prof. C. V. Riley
in the July Agriculturalist. It is a.
European beetle and is especially fond
of European elms, the common Ameri-
'can\ elms not being so popular with it.
It came here about 1837 and is a pale
yellow beetle. marked with black. The
larva or worm is what does most dam- -
age and there are two crops each sea-
son. They are hatched from eggs of a
straw color, deposited by a beetle on
the under side. of a leaf, in groups of
from five to twenty eggs. The 'eggs
hatch out in a week and the larva ,_ or
Worms do- their worst- in- about two
weeks, after which they go in to the
ground and are transformed into bee-
tles. Prof. Riley says that the best
way to destroy, the pest isto’, spray the.

tiOnal Guard Proposed.
, From the Hartford Post.
Afact has just come to "light'that 'will
' cause considerable talk in Connecticut
militia circles, and cause no end' of
speculation. ' ‘
'The Post is in a position to state os-
itiyely that last February, even in pthe
midst of the slate ofiicers’ muddle at
Capitol hill, the Country members of
the House of Representatives met to-
gether and proceeded to get after the
onnecticut national uard. An im-
promptu caucus was he d, at which was
present a large majority of the mem—
bers representing .the smaller towns of
the state. . The national guard was very
thoroughly discussed, and several
speeches were made declaring that the
taxpayers didn’t get their money’s
worth from the militia. Several mem-
bers were in favor of disbanding the
entire brigade, but more conservative
counsel prevailed, and after a rather
Informal, but none the less thorough
discussion, _the country members de-
cided to unite in voting to disband one
regiment of the brigade. This meas-
me. Will be advocated so soon as the
le islature gets down to business.
he Post relates this story on the
authorit of one of the leaders among
the rum members. He vouches for it,
and affirms that measure providing for
the disbandment of one regiment will
' undoubtedly be introduced into the
House of Representatives. What regi-
ment .w11l fall under the rural axe, is a
question. The dissensions in the First
make it a prominent candidate, but it,
does not seem likely that a regiment
composed largely of Hartford compa-
nies would be annihilated. - It would
be unw1se, certainly, with the capitol
and other state property here.

record, which stands for the full sum
until the whole is discharged. Nor-
