twenty-five pieces. reached South the
walk. Capt. Belts, of the Locke'ood
Rifles, at the head of the reception com-
mittee, welcomed them. The company
was drawngintolinc, and escorted by the
committee, marched to Nash Bros.’ stow
where carryalls were waiting to convey
them up town. Arriving at the residence
of Mrs. _Wm. K. James, the company
alighted, formed and marched to Co. F’s
armory where Capt. Betta, in a heat and
happy speech, offered them the hospitality
of the Rifles, Capt. Smith, of Co. K,
making a few well chosen remarks in ac-
ceptance. At 11:30 they were escorted
to the steam yacht Carrie A. Ward, at
Holmes Jr Keeler‘s dock, waiting to take
them to Roton Point. After a most do-
lightful sail the Point was reached and
the boys strolled around until the dinner
call sounded when a rush was ‘made for
the pavilion. Here some of the members
of the press met with trouble, one being
late owing, it is said, to K’s “Tank" be-
ing unable to pass the narrow door at the
foot of the stairs and blocking the entire
passage, while another was caught in the
act of stealing all of Ackcrt’s loaf sugar
which was promptly taken from him.
The bill of fare consisted of clam chow-
der, roast oysters, roast clams, baked blue
fish, filet dc beef, roast chicken, &c., &c.
After devouring everything in sight the
boys separated, some indulging in base
bail while others attended the band con-
cert in the dancing pavilion. At 3:30 the,
call sounded and the boys again boarded
the yacht and sailed for Norwalk where
they were dismissed until 5 o’clock.
Promptly on time the Rifles, headed by
the Norwalk Band and escorting Co. K,
marched to the Union Park where a dress
parade was held, with Major Crowe as
commander of Bellman. At the con-
clusion of the dress parade the boys were
marched through some of the principal
streets of the borough, many residences
along the line being handsomely decorated
with flagsiand streamers. Arriving at the
armory they were excused until 7:45 when
the companies were again assembled and
marched to the banquet at the Arlington
Hotel. Here Landlord Belding had five
large elegantly spread tables, which we
believe were never before excelled in
Norwalk. At each pleie was a neat menu
card and a butlonliole boquct. There
were nine courses, and from appearances,
we think K boys did llll justice to the
spread, especially pr olway, who
had to be salted before ‘ d be made
to desist and Spary of the Land had to be
carried away by Drum Major Steele,
while Sergt. Quigglc could notbe moved,
ashc steadily refused to leave. Among
the guests o'er-2A. J. Wellsd‘rlaj. Goodrich,
Capt. C. E. Thompson, cx~Surgeon J. G.
Gregory and Surgeon Burke. Afar the
banquet the boys, headed by the band.
marched to the residence of comrade Dr.
- A. H. Baldwin and {serenaded ,‘biit: sud

and roman candles, to the Catholic chine-b
where carryalls were in waiting to lilo~
them to the depot and where they took
the train for Hartford. Our Hartford
friends should feel proud of Co. K, ior, a
more genilemauly set of men it has never
been our pleasure to meet. The only ac-
cident that occurred was on the steamer,
where Scrgt. Quigglc in resisting arrest
for a terrible'crime lost the left sleeve of
his coat.

That the efforts of Co. F to make every
thing pleasant for their visitors, proved
successful, is shown by Saturday‘s Hart-
ford Com-ant .-
“Tlic visitors were loud in the praises
of the reception given them by the mem
bers of Company F, Norwalk. Every—
thing that was possible to make the day
enjoyable was done, without regard to ex-
pense or trouble. Theofiicers and men
were assiduous in their personal atten-
tion to the comfort and enjoyment of
their guests, and although the friendship
between these two companies is only of a
year’s growth there are probably not two
companies in the National Guard who are
more firmly united in ties of friendship
than these two fine organizations; It was
a memorable day for Co. K.”

Star Routers Acquitted.
Contrary to almost universal expecta-
tion the Star Route jury rendered a ver-
dictof complete acquittal. It was sup-
posed thc jury would fail to agree. From
the free talk of the foreman it seems clear
that the jury were disgusted, and their
confidence shaken iii {the government’s
side of the case, because of its resort to
the infamous “spy system,” witnesses
testifying brazenly on the government
side that gtbey were liars and thieves
themselves, in order to convict the croWd
indicted. If it shall end this style of
testimony, this verdict; will not be
an altogether unmixed evil. The law de-
‘ partmcnt of the government must keenly
feel the disgrace of its failure, in view of
the enormous and rltcgctber iinnccessarv
ily extravagant cost of the trial.

cluded their inspection of the various

Oyster Propagation.
Prof. Brooks, of John Hopkins uni-
versity, Baltimore, is engaged in a work
of very grcat importance to the people
living in the region of the Chcsapcake
hay. Indeed, his work is ofgrcat'iuterzst
lo the oyster gathering, oyster selling. and
oyster eating part of the population of the
world, and this comprises‘at least a n-
spectable part of the inhabitants cf the
globe. So that while we look first to
Prof. Brooks to develop his theories in
the region of the Chesapeake bay, their ul-
timate results, if successful, will have a
much wider range. The theory of Prof.
Brooks is, in substance, that it is practi
cable to hatch oystersin almost unlimited
numbers from the eggs, and to keep them
alive for a limited time after they have
developcdjheir shells. The trouble is to
take care of and improve these young
oysters until they are large enough to
handle and transplant; If this can be
done, the supply {could bemade almost
inexhaustible. This would relieve the
question of the uncertainty attending fish
hatching, because the young oysters would
remain and grow when they are planted.
Prof .Brooks has made a design for an
apparatus to consummate his theory,in the
success of which he expresses great confi
deuce. His apparatus is simply a system
of inclined troughs, with hedges, known
familiarly by men engaged in mining the
precious metals. The Hedges catch the
young oysters in what are called the
pockets during the flowing of the water.
A steam pump renews the supply of water
pouring it in from the top. Go a trial of
this system young oysters four days old
Were put into the apparatus, and with
many replacements of water it was found
that none of them escaped. Prof. Brooks
very candidly says that the oysters thus
received have not made a satisfactory
progress in growth, but during the time
of his experiments the weather was very
cold and otherwise unfavorable, and he
confidently looks for successful results
hereafter. It is understood that Prof.
Ryder, of the United States fish commis-
sion, is in accord with Prof. Brooks, and
great faith is entertained that the experi-
ments of Prof. Brooks will prove the
feasibility of oyster propagation and cui-
tivation by means heretofore unused.
An interesting , statement ‘ by Prof.
Brooks concerning his method and inven-
tion will be found on our fourth page.

“Just after Jeff. Davis had been cap-
tured,” says a gentleman reported in The
Boston Traveller, “I called over at the
White House to see President Lincoln. I
was ushered in, and asked him _: ‘Well,
Mr. President, what are you gomg to do
with J eff. Davis?’ Lincoln looked at me
a moment and then said in his peculiarl
way: ‘That reminds me of astory. A
boy ’way out west caught a coon and
tamed it to a considerable cxtcnt,‘but the
animal created such mischief about the
house that his mother ordered him to take
it away and not to come home until he
could return without his pet. The boy
went down town with the coon, secured
with a strong piece of twine, and in about
an hour‘ho was found sitting on the edge
of the curbstone, holding the coon With
one hand and crying as though his heart
would break. A big-hearted gentlemen
who was passing, stopped and kindly in—
quired: “Say, little boy, what is the
matter?” The boy wiped a fear from his
eye with his sleeve, and in an injured tone
howled: “Matter! Ask me what’s the
matter! You see that coon there ‘B Well,
I don’t know what to do with the darn
thing. I can’t sell it, I can’t kill it, and
ma won’t let me take it home." ’ ’

what. he expected to do w'iih Davis, any-
way? With his accustomed twinkle of
the eye, which always preluded a witty
illustration, be said: “We are as much
perplexed to know what to do with Jeff.
as was the temperance advocate out in
my country, where he had taken aterri-
ble cold, to know how to take a hot whis-
ky sling, without hurting the cause for
which he was speaking. He was urged
to take it as a remedy and as a duty he
owed himself by the good reform sister
with whom he was stopping. His old
love for the “remedy” and the urgency of
the sister, were too much, and an idea
struck him. - “Sister,” said be, “if you
could only get that hot whisky down me,
unbeknmonst to me, I feel it would do me
a power of good.’_’ “And now,”contin-
ued the President, “if Jeff. would only
get out of that fort and take himself off

Declared Unconstitutional.
At Austin, Texas, in the United States
district court, an important opinion was
recently delivered in a criminal suit
brought under the civil ri hts act. passed
by congress in March, 187 , to enforcela
penalty of $500 for excluding Laura
Evans, 8. colored woman, from a ladies
car on the Houston and Texas Central
railroad. The court held that the act is
unconstitutional, being an infringement on
the rights of the several states, and that
the state tribunals alone have jurisdiction
in the premises. Nineteen suits of a sim-
ilar nature were depending on the decision
in this case. .

'Hartford and Harlem.
At the mayor's ofllce in Bridgeport
last Tuesday, the railroad commissioners
formally dismissed the objections which
have been raised by existing railroad com-
panies, and declared the Hartford and
Harlem railroad company to be duly
formed and organized. In‘announcing
the decision, Commissioner Woodruff said
substantially thache and his colleagues
had been obliged to consider just three
questions: 1. The subscriptions to the
stock and the payment of 10 per cent on
the amount. 2. The manner in which the
directors wcrcchosen. 3. Thesufiiciency
of the engineer’s report. “As to the sec-
ond and third,” continued the Commis-
sioner, “we find that the law has been
strictly and fully complied with, unless
we disregard principles repeatedly laid
down by the Court of Appeals of the state
of New York. To do this would be pre-
sumptuous in abody of this kind. We
accordingly find the Hartford and Harlem
railroad to be a legally constituted organ-
ization.”

“THE WEDDING BELLS ARE RINGING."
BALDWIN—BENEDICT.
Last Wednesday evening at 8:30, at the
home of the bride on West avenue, Dr.
Arthur H. Baldwin, of this village, was
married to Miss Florinc, daughter of the
late Wm. H. Benedict, of South Norwalk.
The Rev. Homer N. Dunning performed
the impressive ceremony, in the presence
of a‘few of the nearest relatives of the
contracting parties. The house was
handsomely dressed in flowers, the bridal
couple standing under a large horse shoe
composed of wliitcfidaisics. At the close
of the ceremony the happy couple, sensi-
bly dispensing with a wedding trip, were
driven to their home on Wallstrect.
Dr. Baldwin has for the past three
years been a resident here and,'coming
from the far west, has by steady applica-
tion and attention to busiiicss alone, built
up for himself a large and 'cnviable prac-
tice, and many of the handsome wedding
presents displayed were from grateful pa-
tients. Aprince of good fellows he has
won friends on every side and they, with
.us, join in wishing for him a most happy
and prosperous life. Of the bride, noth-
ing need be said. Grown up amongst us
her many good traits are so well known
as to make further mention unnecessary.
To both cordially give the editor's bless-.
ing, and trust that the pathway of their
wedded life may be a smooth and happy
one.
The presents, extended as love and cs-
teem, were numerous and valuable a few
of which, hastily noted, are as follows:
Bride’s cake, ornamented with an arrow
and two hearts, with raised inscription,
“Arthur and Floriue, from Mother.” This
was sentzi'rom Illinois by tho groom’s mother.
Another beautiful present was an clo-
gant bronze clock, accompanied by the fol-
lowing lctter: ,,
We, your friends of Prophetstown, con-
gratulatc you on your wedding day and send
you this suall token of our friendship and
esteem. Signed.

The democratic newspapers of the State
are making as much ado over the result
of the recent city election in Norwich as
if it insured the success of their party in
the next presidential election. The sim-
ple fact seems to be that the voters of Nor-
wich ignored party lines in the election
of municipal officers, and thereby dis-
played their good sensc. The voters of
New Haven did the same thing last fall,
and we don’t believe any of ' them now re-
gret it. The separation of municipal af-
fairs fr'om party politics is becoming the
rule in our best governed cities, and the
sooner the rule becomes general the bet-
ter.-—New Haven Palladium.
In justi e to the auburn haired members
of the Pal (lium's constituency we must
say that we presume the above extract
from a recent editorial in its columns was
written “red-handed” instead of “red-
headed.” The improvement of the “in-
telligent compositor" on the editor's work
was overlooked by the proof reader and
hence the seeming reflection upon a
not especially-aanguiuary portion of the
population. It is funny, advertheless,
and is one of those curious comical errors
which will occasionally creep into the
moat carefully edited papers. We have
experienced them and know—Standard.

SEvniv Mourns IN SALT WATER.
Early in November last a sloop on her
way from New York to Bridgeport was
overtaken bya squall when off Smith’s
Island. The sea ran high and as the sloop
gibcd her boom struck a colored man
named William Brush knocked him over-
board and he was drowned. Efforts for
his recovery were made but darkness
coming on, the unfortunate man had to be
left to his fate. ,_ He has not been heard
of since. On Thursday afternoon last as
Mr. Fred. S. Cornslock. keeper of Smith’s
Island lighthouse,- was in a small boat
rowing for pleasure in company with two
Hell Gate pilots, Messrs. G. W. and J. F.
Horton, he saw what appeared to be the
body of a man floating in the water about
one-quarter of amilc West of the light.
Drawing near he discovered that it was a
body, and making fast a line towed it
”here. His presence in the lighthouse at
my the authorities that day but did so
Friday morning. It then transpired that
no coroner had been appoinlcd for this
district, and would not be until the latter
part of this week. The case was finally
put into the hands of two city physicians
who visited the island Friday and viewed
the body. They found the flesh entirely
gone from the face and hands, the bedy
in an advanced state 'of decomposition,
but the feet, protected by stout shoes were
not much decayed. The body was dressed
ina dark flannel shirt laced in front,
coat, vest and pants of black diagonal
cloth, overalls of mixed stall, and an over-
coat of black felt. Everything about the
.body indicated that it ‘had'.’bcenalong
time in the water. In the pockets of the
clothing were found a bi‘iarwood pipe, a
jack knife, a silver 10 cent piece, and a
porcelain button.- No inquest could be
held, and it. was proposed to bury the
body on the island. Applying to Mrs.
Smith, owner of the island and wife of
the former lighthouse keeper, she declined
to give permission, and accordingly the
body was buried on Saturday, in Pine
Island Cemetery. There was nothing on'
the body in the shape of papers or docu—
ments from which to tell who deceased
was, but under the coat collar at the back
of the neck was found a substance which
by its curly nature resembled that growing
on the heads of colored persons. This cir‘
cumstancc is accepted as evidence that
deceased was not a white man and that,
after a.lapse of seven months the form of
the unfortunate William Brush had come
to light. It is a singular fact thatthe
body was picked up in almost the identi-
cal locality where the sloop gibed in the
squall last November.
That gangplank still “holds the fort"
on the platform at the depot, and several
pairs of shoes have been ruined in conse-
quence of a night colision with it. As
there is ample space on the southerly side
of the depot. between the door of the
Adams Express office and the end of the
building to stand it out the way of pas-
sengers the question is, why is it not so
disposed of? -
The steamer yacht Carrie A. Ward run-
ning between South Norwaik and Roton,
touching at Dorion’s, Wilson and Bell
Island is the best boat ever on this route
and all who have taken a sail on her ex_
press themselves as pleased with both
boat and officers. When the July excur-
sion fever sets in, it may be predidled
that large numbers will avail themselves
of frequent trips for their own profit and
that of the managers.

About thirty' years ago the people of
the State of Connecticut were appalled by
n terrible railroad accident at the South
analk drawbridge. If was in the early
‘days of railroading, and naturally, such a
dreadful disaster, caused no little conster-
nation. To prevent further disasters of
this sort, the Legislature passed a law
compelling all trains to stop before cross-
ing drawbridges, and the law has been
rigidly enforced ever since until the past
week, when trains have passed over a
drawbridge without stopping. This bridge
is the one at Westport, and it is said that
the company has arranged perfect‘safcty
appliances, electric and automatic. 'We
presume the Railroad Commissioners acted
wisely when they gave the company
permission to run the trains across with-
- on tstopping, and they probably would not
have done it without carefully inspecting
the new arrangement. But the traveling
public never will feel as safe as they did
when the trains werefcompellcd to stop.—
