Dr. C. J. Hoadley our State Librar- ian, contributes to the Hartford Cour- ant, the following exceedingly interest- valuable historical facts relat- ing to Connecticut’s‘past in the receipt and adoption of the Declaration of In- dependence. He says:— “The Declaration of Independence was received at Lebanon on Thursday, July 11, 1776. the eighth day after its adoption. It came in a letter to William Williams from his brother-in-law, Jo- seph Trumbull then in New York; and Williams, who was clerk of the council of safety, made a memorandum of it on their journal. The official copy from Congress came the next day to the hands of the governor and council of safety at Lebanon. Although‘Congress had requested that the Declaration should be duly published, the governor and council of safety after largely dis. coursing on the subject concluded to lay it by for the present. On the 18th of July the matter of publishing the in- dependency was again taken ,up by the governor and council of safety and largely discoursed. and it was finally thought best to let the matter remain for the determination of the General ssembly at the next stated session. At 6 October session, 1776, held from the we}. of that month to the 7th of Novem- ber, the Assembly approved of the Declaration of Independence, but no order appears on record for its publica4 tion, perhaps because by that time, three months after its adoption, it had at to be an old story. So far as the or knows, the Declaration was er formally or officially proclaimed - Jonnecticut, and the only reason he i can suggest for the omission is that possibly the governor and council of safety may have thought that it was a matter transcending their powers and properly belonging only to the supreme Legislature. Yet, in June, 1776, the General Assembly had resolved unani- mously that the delegates of this col- ony in general Congress be instructed to propose to that respectable body, to declare the» United American colonies free and independent states, which one might think was a sufiicient warrant for the governor and council of safety to order the publication after Congress had made the declaration. On the 13th , of July, 1776, Governor Trumbull, at Lebanon, had written to President Hancock:— “Yesterday I received your letter of the 6th instant enclosing the Declara- tion of the United States of America. I shall have it proclaimed in the colony in such a manner that the people may be universally informed of it.” The declaration was for the first time printed in a newspaper in New England in the “Connecticut Content.” No. 599, Hartford, Monday, July 15, 1776. As “The Courant” was a weekly paper, the number for July 15 was the earliest in which it could regularly have come out. N ow printing a document in a news- paper is not always the same thing as an official publication; and in the case of the declaration there was no pre- tense that it appeared in the newspaper by authority. In “The Courant” the declaration was not given the most con- spicuous place—that is, on the outside of the paper—but it was printed on the second page. There was no editorial comment. A word as to the Connecticut signers of the declaration: At the October ses- sion of the General Assembly, 1775, Roger Sherman, Oliver Wolcott and Samuel Huntington, esqrs., were ap- pointed td attend Congress as delegates, and on failure of either of them by sickness or otherwise, then Titus Hos. mer or William Williams, esqs., were to supply the place or places of any or either of the said three gentlemen first named; in such manner that three ‘ of said delegates,and three only. is attend said congress at any one time. Now four 'delegates from Connecticut signed the Declaration of Independence, and of the four neither Wolcott nor Wilf liams were present in Congress on the Fourth of July, 1776, when it was adopted. This is how it came about: Toward the end of June, 1776, Wolcott, being _unwell, left Philadelphia and came home. To supply his place Wil- liams was desired by the council of safety,lJu1y 11tn, to repair to Congress as one of the delegates. He started on his journey July 22d. The printed l us when he took his seat, but he was there when on the second day of - August, 1776, the declaration engrossed on parchment, as ordered on the 19th of the previous July, was brought in and signed, and he signed it‘ with others, several of whom as Well as him- self had notbeen members of Congress on the fourth of July. Wolcott arrived at Philadelphia October 1, 1776, to at- tend Congress as a delegate for the second time, and hissignature was affix- ed at some time after that date. Effects of Concussion. A curious and widely extended result of the heavy dynamite blasts in the Whistleville ledge by the Consoli- dated road contractors, is reported to the GAZETTE. It is stated that eggs under setting hens at ‘ihe peri..d.0f incubation and young chickens just emerged from the shell, have ' been de- stroyed by thousands by these'blasts at Darien, Five Mile River, Roton Hill and different sections of Norwalk. One Norwalk party has lost over a hundred of a particularly choice and costly breed in this manner, and has no doubt but that the chickswere killed by the concussions of these late at night and early in the morning blasts, that shake the earth for miles around and cause violent atmospheric vibrations to an even greater distance. It is certainly a curious phenomena. Who can eluci- date it? 0 . The Strike. No general strike was ordered yester- trains are running again almost every- where, and the rioting industry does not seem to be any longer a thriving one. The order that organized Labor is now impatiently awaiting, is an order from somebody to furnish its idle mem- bers with work again. Aportion of the gang“ of California train wreckers have been captured and the others are known and being pur- sued. Their crime is death by Califor- nia laws. Phoenix vs. Kohanza. The Phoenix base ball- nine went 'to Danb ry on Thursday for the purpose of def sting the Kohanzas of that city, but were treated so handsomely that their hearts failed them and they allow- ed themselves, with the assistance of the umpire, to be beaten by a score of 16 to 6. On their arrival at Danbury “they were met by a delegation of the Kohanzas and escorted to the club rooms. Later they were dined and wined, and then proceeded to the ball ground where game was called and the sport commenced in the presence of a large crowd of Danbury’s handsomest men and women. Several of the Nor- walk players had narrow escapes from being maimed for life, but escaped by extra precautions in handling and dodging the ball. .At the end of the game both clubs retired to an apple orchard near by where sandwiches, etc. were served in abundance. The local club returned home on a late train well pleased with their day’s outing and with happy remembrances of the splen- did treatment they had received at the hands of the Kohanzas. The Norwalk team was composed of the following a1- leged ball players: Wm. James, p; John Greenwood, 0; Edward Burr, 1b; Charles Mortimer Smith, 2b; John Pierce, 3b; Arthur Slanson, s. s: Fred. Lockwood,r. f; .1. Gilmore. c. f; H. —Leobold, l. f. With the exception of the battery all took a hand during the game in stopping the ,ball at first base. Gone West. Receiver L., C. Whitney of New Bri- tain took charge of the Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light company plant on Wednesday. He will also act as superintendent of the same. On Wednesday he had a talk with Bertrand C. Yeaton, who for the past two years has been acting as superintendent of the company, and notified .him that while he was ready to accept his resig- nation he would be pleased to‘have him remain for anothhr month. Mr. Yea- ton it is understood Was agreeableto the proposition if the time was extend- ed to three months. But Mr. Whitney was not favorable to the proposal and Yeaton then and there tendered his resignation. . - ,. Mr. Yeaton it is understood has left for ‘ Indianapolis, his former home, where he will be joined by his Wife, who is _now visiting friends ,in‘ Fall River. He received a salary of' about $1,800 a year. it is reported that Mr. Yeaton left a number of unsettled bills in town. One creditor he advised by letter to attach his household effects in settlement of the debt. Other small claimants. are likely to do the same. His sudden de- parture is a great surprise/to his friends. Sprained Her Tongue- Mrs. J. _J. Taylor, of Waterbury, went to Wmsted to visit her parents a month ago, and sprained her tongue during a fit of laughter.

The, NORWALK, CONN. FRIDAY JULY13,«’1894. ’ REQQLLEQHQNS A I \ I II WAR '_GURBESPONDENT. BY THE Editor of the Gazette. Copyrighted 1894. CHAPTER XII. As has b‘éen previously stated in this series of chapters, early on the morning of the 21st of July, the Union forces engaged the enemy at Bull Run in the first real battle of the secession war. It was just seventeen days after the extra session of Congress had convened on our national Fourth of July, and but fifteen days prior to its close. Gen. McDowell, while gravely fearing the staying qualities of his raw troops, was made to feelconfident of his ability to cope with _Beauregard’s forces, because of the pos1tive assurances given him by Gen. Scott and the War Department at Washington, that‘ in no case would Johnston’s army be permitted to drop down on the interior line from the upper Potomac, to reinforce Beaure- gard. This battle was most remarkable from the large numbers of subordinate officers in both armies, who subsequent- ly became famous as division and corps commanders. In no subsequent battle were our Connecticut troops more ably oflicered. If our Union Generals and their troops marched to the fray confident of success, the people of the north were doubly sure that. a. crushing defeat awaited the defiant rebels so soon as the conflict of arms opened. How short and how utterly illusionary were all these bright hopes of the patriotic friends of the Union. ~ ' ~ As soon as the artillery firing was opened the sound of the guns was plain- ly heard at Washington and the loyal and disloyal citizens of the National capital were almost beside themselves with ex itement. Thousands of them crossed ong Bridge and tramped over to the Arlington hills while other then- sands crowded about the west terrace of the Capitol and repaired to the high“ grounds in and north-west of George- townz All for hours, patiently and with conflicting hopes and emotions, listen- ing to the heavy cannonading. One of the most novel features of these scenes was the great number of slaves and free colored people of ,. Washington, others who came in droves from Maryland and Virginia, and most, if not all, inspired by a blind yet firm faith that the day of Jubilee had come to their race and that in the end of this terrible battle, (as it seemedxto them,) their future freedom was assured. This undaunted faith, childish though it seemed to the better informed, was in God’s providence, but the sure prophe- sy of the final result of the cruel and totally unwuranted slave holders’ re- bellion. - . While all was tumult and excitement in and about the City of Washington, every one‘who could secure transporta- tion, set out in the direction of Man- assus. Every public and private car- riage, express truck, baggage wagon, cart or vehicle of any sort, was hired and pressed towards the front. Hun- dreds went out on foot and horseback Among this motly crowd many ladies were here and there to be seen. All were. intensely eager-to reach the bat- tle field in season to help the Union soldiers celebrate their victory. The country roads from Long and Acque- duct and Chain bridges were so choked by this'motly crowd that no vehicle. could With safetypass back in the di- rection of Washington. The exodus had practically left Congress without a quorum, scores upon scores of mem- bers in hacks, on_ horseback and hastily improvised vehicles, eagerly pressed their w'“? on roads and across fields, in advent, ”,1 the main crowd. ' . All day long the great, nxious, trou- bled<heart of President inooln beat With intensest fear and expectation, as he held his ear to- catch the scund of battle reverberating against the west front of the White House. His alter- nate hopes and fears, alas, were only too soon to become an agony of disap- pomtment. . Col. Daniel Tyler, a graduate of West Point, left NewsHave'n May 9th in com- mand of our First Regiment of three months men and went into camp near Falls Church. In Company E. of his regiment there were Joseph Tammany, Theodore Benedict, Aaron Byington, T. L. Bussing, T. 1). Brown, Thomas Hooton, George D. Keeler, Wm. J. Murphey, James Reed and Howard W. Wheeler, ofNorwalk. _ , COL-Alfred H. Terry went 'to the front in command of the Second and was .encamped not far from Tyler’s troops. . The Third Regiment left Hartford May 25th, commanded by Col. John L. Chatfield. In this regiment Norwalk had a full company, A, Captain Doug- lass Fowler. Gilbert Bogart was lst Lieutenant, Stephen D. Byxbee, 2d Lieutenant; Joseph L. Russell John W. Craw, Edwm .R. Smith, Watson Olmstead, Sergeants; John Whitman, Thomas L. Weed, Thomas L. Smith and Rufus Buttery, Corporals. . ' 00. D, of the Third, carried these Norwalk names: Win. A. Jennings Wm., 1:1. Fowler, Ward B. Mead an David T. Taylor. 00. F, Lewis E. Bates and John W. Hickey. Colonels Tyler and Terry were given brigade commands by General McDowell just prior to _the :fight and Tyler a little later, a diVision. " Our three Connecticut Regiments. r' ~w ' ,thus placed under Tyler, his divi- si constituting the right wing, which waggprdered to take. the advance in the ms'tch to Manassas. On the 17th Tyler had‘e'ahis division outtwormiles beyond McDowell’s main body, at the little hamlet of Germantown. Next day he adwnnced to the: close vicinity of Bull Rum, where he found the enemy strong- ly ehtrenched behind earthworks. He then made,‘ a rapid reconnorssance around to Blackburn’s Ford. Here he was'ambuscaded, as every movement of the Union troops was instantly made known to the rebels by the traitors all about in the vicinity. Longstreet hav- ing been advised of Tyler’s movement was on the ground with his troops, and supported by Early’s men, at once opened fire upon the :‘Union forces. Tyler’s men were driven back behind Ayi'e’s battery, when Colonel Wm. T. Sherman hearing the firing, rushed up with his brigade and 'resumed the en. gagement, which was continued until late in the afternoon. McDowell soon after arrived and seeing that all efforts to turn the enemy’s position would be fruitless, ordered Tyler and Sherman to fall back to Centrevilie. This unde- cisive conflict, which scarcely rose to the ”importance of an engagement, Beafiregard reported to Richmond With lyin , exaggeration as a tremendous victfl y for the Confederacy. Our troofi‘s termed it the skirmish at Black- burn’s Ford, while the Rebels denomi- nated it the victory of Bull’s Run. The Union loss was nineteen killed and sixtyffour wounded and missing. Beau- regard reported his loss at thirteen killed and fifty-five wounded and miss- ing. So far as it went, it was a reverse to us, that later on in the war. would not have received any serious notice. The totally false exaggerations of the Rebels no doubt cheered _their men far beyond any depressing influence felt by our own troops. The somewhat disorii’rlv retreat of our men back to Centr ille, checked their exhuberant ardor far more than the unsuccessful skirmish, and Tyler’s part in bringing on the'action was severely criticised by McDov’Vell and was the origin of a per- sonal bitterness between himself and Tyler that outlasted the war.- On the 19th, Gen. McDowell person- ally made a most careful reconnaissance of the enemy’s apparent forces and po- sition and determined to strike a decis- ive blow. before his army should.be irreparably decimated by the expiring enlistments of his three months troops. He planned a combined attack on the 20th, but delays in getting up supplies from Washington forced a postpone- ment until the let. By that time, not lesszthnn ten thousand of his troops claimed their discharge by reason of the expiration of the terms of their en- listments. These cruel defections left him. with but little more than 25,000, fighting men and less than fifty guns, when the sun set on the 20th of July. He was strongly in favor of pushing his army forward that night as it was clear, cool and moonlight, rather than march his men in the hot July sun next day. In deference to his oflicers’ Views he was led to postpone a forward move- ment until early next morning. Mean- time, Beauregard’s army, which on the 19th was less than ours, had _been so reinforced by Johnston’s, which had slipped away unbeknown to Patterson, that now the enemy outnumbered us nearly ten thousand men, General Mc- Dowell was not only daily and hourly losing strength, but was ignorant of Johnston’s having outgeneraied Patter- son, while Beauregard was constantly gaining additional troops and was made perfectly familiar by treachery, of.our condition and every movement. Me. Dowell’s-orders were for our troops to march at 2 a. m., the 21st,. in _three divi- sions. Tyler’s division, With A yres and Carlisle’s batteries and Sherman’s and Schenck’s brigades were to advance by the Warrenton pike and make a feigned attack on the stone _bridge to cover the main attack by Heintzleman and Hunter, on the enemy’s left flank. By some fatality, Tyler was two hours behind time in reaching his expected position, the greenness and undisci- plinedcharacter of his troops being urged as an excuse for his exasperating delay in threatening his objective pornt. Even worse than this, Heintzleman an Hunter, not familiar with their route, got so astray as to be four hours be- lated in reaching‘their positions on the enemy’s left Wing. Moreover, Dowell. was totally deceived in his idea of being able to catch the enemy off his guard by a surprise. Beaure- gard, by some treachery or other, knew of our purposed plan of attack, as well as our every movement of troops. General Beauregard, fully aware of McDowell’s strength, position and pur. poses, had intended an attack upon him at Centreville, but a failure of Ewell to get Beauregard’s order to advance, led to the abandonment of this scheme. At the time, the ‘rebel force exceeded ours by from six to eight thousand, as Johnston’s upper Potomac flows were being. constantly hurried to .Beaure- gard by forced march and rail. . This reinforcement was kept up until the. last hour of the supreme struggle of the 213i, and all without being discov- ered by Patterson, (who was specially enjoined to hold Johnston ,in_his front) by the authorities at Washington, or by McDowell, who confronted Beaure- gard. This at first sight seems incx. plicable, but it is reasonably accounted for by the fact that on the first break- ing out of the war, there wero no more bitter and relentless rebels in all the land than those inhabitating _the bor- ders of Maryland and Virginia. The few Union men in these locahties were so oyerborne by numbers and cowed by fear, they dare not reveal what _was going on among their disloyal neigh- ‘bors, even if aware of their treasonable plottings. On the other hand, Rebel men, women and children. seemed pos- sessed as of the evil_ one, With an in- ‘tense desire to. aid in every possible _way, the cause of the rebellion. South- ern women would come into our camps ostensibly, to sell a chicken or beg for tea, coffee or .flour, but in reality to play the spy for their armies. . After delays most exasperating _and disappointments mostr disheartening, General Mo Dowell finally got his troops Mon into position, very nearly in accord With his carefully considered plan of battle. If he had erred at all, it was that he overestimated the staying qual- ities of his own raw and inexperienced mon and hadunderestimated the num- erical and stragetic strength of his en- trenched adversaries at the last su- preme moment. 1 - USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA, IT’S “THE KIND THAT corms."

USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA.IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES. ” Nothing Strange. Intelligent people, who realize 'the important part the blood holds in keep- ing the body in a normal condition, find nothing strange in the number of diseases that Hood’s Sarsaparilla‘is able to cure. So many troubles result fro m. impure blood that the best way to treat them is through the blood, and it is far better to use only harmless vegetable ' compounds than to dose to excess with quinine, calomel and other drugs. By treating the blood, with Hood’s Sarsa- parilla, scrofuia, salt rheum and what are commonly called “humors;” dvs- pepsin, catarrh, rheumatism, neural in, consumption and other troubles t at originate in impurities of the blood or impaired circulation, can all be cured.
