_ There is more Catarrh in this section

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-

constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca-

_ lli new CAMP.
The 115th Anniversary of the
Adoption of the Starsv‘and '
Stripes" Duly Celebrated.
A Gala Dayin Bedding.
I Tuesday was the one hundred and
fifteenth anniversary of the adoption
by Congress of our National flag. The
day was intensely hot, as its predeces-
sor had been and the special” train en-
gaged and piedged to convey six hun-
dred of the Connecticut Sons of the
Revolution from the eastern part of
the state, arrived a little later than
schedule time with just twelve mem-
bers who had dared to brave the torrid
heat. A later train took up from Nor-
walk and from stations along the line,
a small addition to the very consider-
able crowd that had reached the camp
grounds from Bedding and all the con-
tiguous towns, in carriages. Arrived
at Bethel the railroad cxcursionists
were greeted with a sight that made
them think a veritable Danbury Fair
had broken loose. J ammed about. the
depot spaces and in every spare nook
and corner Were scores, if nothundreds,
of vehicles, of every description and of
devices defying description, from the
four-horse omnibus, the 'wagonette,
Bockaway, the farm wagon with seats
.on hay shelvings, grocery, eXpress,
prairie schooners, buggies and the like
to convey the advertised multitude _to
the camp grounds. It was a sorry dis-
appointment to these enterprising
teamsters who had sweltered for an
hour in the scorching sun for the be-
lated trains that were to bring them at-
least a thousand passengers. Never-
theless, those who did go, found old
Bedding assembled there, en masse, in
the beautiful and cooling shades of the
camp ground. Her beauty and her
chivalry were on hand. Each, as per
invitation, brought lunch, but With
true New England generosity, had
brought more than was needed. So
the inner man and woman and multi-
tudinous child, were abundantly filled
with the good things stored into boxes
and baskets and washed down bya
’hogshead full of iced spring water,
which in three hours’ time had all die-
appeared. .
After lunch was over, Mr. E. J. Hill,
as master of ceremonies, invited the
crowd to assemble in the densest part
of the grove, at the rear of the log
kitchen, and called the meeting to
order. A local choir struck up. and
sang with a vim, “My Country ’tis of
Thee,”—-the crowd joining and waking
the reverberating echoes of the grand
old Bedding woods and hills. Then
‘Rev. Dr. Cheesborough of Saybrook,
Chaplain of the Society of the Sons of
the Revolution, invoked the Divine
Blessing. Mr. Hill then stated that
the society had voted to meet at least
once a year, at the Putnam Camp
Ground, and it had been agreed upon
to meet this year on the anniversary of
the adoption of our National banner.
He then called out Judge Picket of
New Haven, an old Ridgefield boy who
had hunted birds and squirrels. over
every foot of this historic park, and
later, had hunted . and captured the
solace of his life, a beautiful and ac-
complished Bedding girl, for his wife.
- The Judge made a most eloquent, stir-
ring and instructive'address of a half
hour’s length, concluding with an earn-
est appeal that the legislators, present
and to come, should exert themselves
for the enactment of such a state law
as should secure and save from oblivion
the names of every son of Connecticut,
who had given service on land or sea,
and have the records kept on unperish-
able parchment in the town clerk’s
office of every town in the state. He
said there were three regiments en-
camped on and near. these grounds,
under command of General Putnam,
during the terrible winter of 1789~90.
One was Connecticut Infantry and one
a Connecticut Cavalry and the third 9.
New Hampshire Infantry regiment.
Mr. Hill then stated there were three
veritable Sons of the Revolution pres-
ent, and he called on them to stand up,
which they did and received the rap-
turous applause of the audience. . They
were Stephen Nichols, Charles Moore-
house and Lewis Goodsell.
Mr. Beecher, a sondn-law of Captain
Moorehouse, of New Haven, stated
that his own paternal great grandfath-
er, left his home in Connecticut and
hurried to join the colonial troops and
was in the battle of Lexington.
Capt. Quien, of Danbury, next ad-
dressed the assemblage. He said he
was born across the sea, but loved the
old flag as well as any native. Mr. .Hlll
interrupted and said any man entitled
to wear the Grand Army \button as
Captain Q. was, needed no apology for
having been born in a foreign land.
Rev. Mr. Jennings, of Bedding, next
spoke, making an earnest and quite
eloquent address. He said his father
and grandfather were in the armies of
his country and he was a successor, in
the Bedding Congregational Church
pastorate, of a noted patriot preacher,
who used to hold meetings on these
grounds, and preach to Putnam’s
troops. .
Law or Hobert L. Hitchcock, of
New aven, then made a very humor-
ous and entertaining speech, which
was rapturously received. _
One verse of “My Country he of
Thee” was again sung, and the public
exercises closed with three cheers each
for the flag, the day and Sons of the
Revolution. ‘ 7 -
The day, though excessively hot,.was
one of genuine pleasure and patriotic
inspiration. ~
INCIDENTS OF THE DAY-
One of the exhilirating incidents of
the morning was the killing, on the
camp _

A Close Call.
Veterinary Surgeon H. E. Bates had
a “close call” Saturday afternoon. In
company with afriend from‘ New Ha-
ven, he drove to the Fair Grounds to
witness the trotting. A short distance
ahead of him was eoroe Finch driv-
ing Morison Hoyt’s co t. As George
crossed the railroad tracks near the
Fair Grounds, he saw a train coming
dow at full speed. Realizing that the
doctor would not have time to cross the
tracks ahead of. the train he beckoned,
for him to go back but was apparently
not understood. He then shouted,and
about the same time the doctor saw his
danger and turned his horse up into the
bank, Just as the train went by, missing
the carriage by about three feet. ~ See-
ing .the danger the doctor’s companion
jumped out and in so doin fell close to
the tracks, but luckily ha presence of
‘ mind enough to roll over and escape
being struck. The engineer stopped
his train after running a short distance,
and on gOing back. was considerably
Surprised to find~ that no one was seri-
ously. or even slightly injured. They
were not a little frightened thouo'h' at
their very narrow escape. It is alleged
that the whistle was not .blown above
the crossing. .

Wedding Bells.
There was a charming wedding on
Union Park yesterday afternoon, when
Miss Eva Woodhull and Mr. George

but ever-engaging sea of matrimony.
The beautiful bride looked her

the late Gen. 0. S. Ferry, of Norwalk,
then in command of that regiment is-
sued to them when the army was about
to enter Virginia from Maryland. It is
of so much interest to old veterans and
is such a. vivid picture of a feature of
the war, that we print it herewith:
HEADQUARTERS 5TH REGIMENT CONN.
Vons., CAMP NEAR HANCOCK, MD.,
Feb. 25, 1862.
We are about to cross the Potomac.
We go to liberate the loyal people of
Virginia from the despotism of a wicked
Rebellion. Our enemies are those who
are in arms against the government.
The persons and property of . citizens
not in arms are to be sacredly respect-
ed.
They have been told, by their tyrants,
that we come to pillage, to ravish, and
to destroy. Let us prove, by our con-
duct, that 'we come to establish rights,
to maintain law, to restore order.
To this end it is ordered:
First: All injuries toprivate property
without authority of the Regimen-
tal Commander, are expressly for-
. bidden.
Second .- Whoever shall maltreat any
citizen not in the service of the en-
emy, shall be punished by Drum-

Third .- Whoever shall maltreat or
abuse any woman, shall be shot.

Reception at Miss Baird’s Institute
The reception given at Miss Baird’s
Institute last evening, was a grand
affair and the most successful ever held
at this popular institute, which is say-
ing a great deal. It was a very happy
event and greatly enjoyed, not only by
the pupils but by the friends and pa-
trons of the school, who represent
many different states in the Union.
' ‘he commencement exercises were giv-
en in the new and oommodious recita-
tion room. Previous to the opening of .
the exercises, the pupils, elegantly at-
tired, marched into the room and;
awaited lhe opemng prayer which was
made by Rev. Dr. Seward. Ayery iii-
teresting programme of exerciseswas
presented in a happy manner, Where
all did so well ’tis hardto particularize,
but the “Winter Lullaby” was beauti-
fully rendered by Miss Ella Burt. The
essay by Miss Alice Layton and also
the essay by Miss Bertha. Stout, the
two graduates, showed a high order of
proficiency and certainly are deserving
of special mention._ (Both have been
attendants at, the .institute for some
cars, and during the whole time have
so perfect in all their studies, do?
'por ment‘, etc.) The, diplOmas were
presented by Rev. S. T. , . ;, _ who
hi hly complimentedboth Miss Build
an her pupils mi their success. .
the exercises came dancing,
indulged in until a late hour: The.

participated, and Miss Baird surely has
reason to feel proud of her school. :

the presentation of diploma by Mrs. '

hampered by but one regret, that he
himself could not reasonabl expect to

the house to the young folks, who
danced to the strains of Weidenhei-
