The fishermen along the Connecticut shore have no reason to complain of the short lobster law, says the Norwich Bulletin. It is a law three inches shorter than the laws of adjoining states and permits capture and sale before the lobsters have attained the the egg- laying stage, which is, according to the report ofrth'e United States fish com- missioners, wheh they have reached a length of from eight to eight and three- quarter inches, which is a half inch larger than the smallest lobster allowed to be taken in Connecticut waters. As to the lobsters with eggs, he lobster- men know how to use a brush and give them a legal look. The law simply aids in the extermination of these crustaceans, and offers an inducement to the fishermen of other states,to vio- late law because they can find a market for illegal lobsters in this state. The City and the Country. ' Recent gatherings of organized farm- ers in a number of states have been occasions for the delivery of numerous carefully prepared addresses on various topics touching the business and social interests of agriculturists. Most of these deliverances have exhibited good taste in avoiding subjects on which farmers, as well as men in other call- ings, are apt to get unpleasantly ex- cited. The old-time abuse of railroad companies and money-lenders is no longer a staple of these meetings. It is now quietly conceded that a railroad is not inevitably an enemy to the farm- er, and that even a money-lender may be a useful citizen, and, at‘times, help- ful to the tillers of the soil. The grange has been one of the most potential agencies in effecting. that great im- provement in the social and home life! of agricultural sections that the last' half century has witnessed. We be- lieve this change is one of the most beneficent movements of the age. The homes of the farmers of to-day present a striking and happy contrast With the homes of the farmers a generation ago. Incessant drudgery and sordid sur- roundings are now exceptional condi- tions; they were formerly the rule. Labor-saving machinery in the fields and in the dwellings has given time for recreation. Good books, newspapers, magazines, music, pictures, and other refining and embellishing influences are now found in the average farmer’s home. The country has kept pace with the city in the grand march of social progress. But there is one feature of theSe ad- dresses—one idea that is prominently advanced by nearly all the speakers— to§which some opposition seems in or- der. We do not believe with these speakers that life in the country is more likely to nurture goodness and greatness than life in the city. Admit- ting thatfthe country presents fewer Vtemptation‘s to vicious practices than are found in towns, it does not, by any means, follow that this difference is an unmixed blessing, If one could grow from infancy to manhood without be- [jug confronted bya single allurement to evil, one would be but a grown-up infant. Strong muscles can only be obtained asa result of physical exer- tion. Strong characters result from resisting evil influences. A very large proportion of those who “go wrong” in cities are raised on farms. They come to town with good morals, but yield to bad influences because their power of resistance has not been strengthened by exercise. The educational advantages of city life are very great. The schools, libraries, art collections. musical 'enter~ tainments and many other educational facilities of town life are incomparably superior to anything of the kind that the country affords. The churchesand Sunday-schools and other religious organizations are better sustained, more attractive and more influential in cities than in rural regions. The country has its advantages; it brings the mind into close communion with nature, the great teacher, it has purer air for the lungs, and fresher fruits for the table. But the fact that boys and girls may grow up without seeing or being tempt- ed by the evil things of life is not a condition favorable to the production of the strongest and best characters.

BY THE Editor of the Gazette. Copyrighted 1894. CHAPTER XLIII. Those disloyal organizations known as “Knights of the Goirl ~11 Circle” and the “Peace Party,” we: e i.i particular- ly active operation throughout the north and west during the fall of 1862, and the winter and spring of 1863. They embraced large numbers, had their signs, grips, and pass-words, the same as other secret Organizations. Their “Castles” or lodges were known to exist in all the larger cities of the north and west. New England was practically free from their treaSUnable influences, as in Boston. only, was 9. Castle known to exist. In New York city, however. there were several of ‘ them, and emissaries from these, made frequent missionary incursions into the larger towns of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Their special object seemed to be to discourage enlistments,and to thus force the Government to let our “er- ring sister States depart in peace” from the Union. .Ex-Mayor Fernando Wood, of New York city, and even Governor Horatio Seymour, of that State, were widely accused and quite generally be- lieved to be leaders high up in this organization. The rank and file in New York city and throughout that State and the west, were largely com- posed of citizens of foreign birth, and wholly of voters styling themselves “anti-war democrats.” So pernicious had this organization become that the Government saw the necessity of throt- tling it.‘ Large numbers of its detec- tives became members of the order and from them was learned the fact that this fraternity was in constant commu- nication with the rebel government at the south; that a daily mail-was dis- patched from Washington to Richmond and that every act of the Government, and the divided feeling of the people of the north. were fully made known to our enemies. One of the gravest ac- cusations laid to the charge of this or- ganization was a recommendation to* the rebels to invade the north. Their plan, outlined and reported by the Government’s detectives, was that if Lee would march his army, into Penn- sylvania, he could easily swoop down with one division and capture Balti- more, and thus force the surrender of our Capital, Washington, and with another division he could march upon Philadelphia, and after its occu- pation, move on to New York city and capture that chief emporium of the western world. Thus, it was plausibly argued and believed, that at a small loss to the rebel army and with a rich recompense for all it expenditures, the Confederacy could triumph, end the war, dictate its own terms of separation of the states, and establish a lasting peace.“ Among the extravagant assur- ances, said to have been given the rebels by this treasonable brotherhood, were, that nine-tenths of the peOple of Baltimore, halfthe male population of Philadelphia, and a hundred thousand men in New York city, would fly to their aid the moment Lee’s army should menace either city. Be these various charges true or false, certain it was that Gen. Lee, from the moment that he was put in command of the army of Northern Virginia, became enamoured of the brilliant, if illusory, scheme. It was his pet hobby from the outset. The fact was made known to President Lincoln and Secretary Stan- ton, and it was this knowledge that made them insist upon a large force being maintained at, or near Harper’s Ferry, with a guard along the Potomac so that'both Washington and Baltimore might be kept safe from surprise, as- sault and capture. Gen. Hooker fully understood the President’s anxieties and desires as to his moving forward and again attacking Lee. He soon had his forces again re- inforced, reorganized, splendidly drill- ed, and in the best of trim, for another battle, and was getting ready tomove upon and attack Lee, when to his sur- prise he learned that the rebel com- mander had stolen a march on him, and his advance, was already a week ahead of us, in his race for the invasion of Pennsylvania. To Hooker’s credit be it said, that he had his army up and after his adversary in the shortest possi- ble Space of time. Nevertheless, Lee’s advance forces had struck Gen. Mil- roy’s division of the Union army at Winchester and fairly pulverized it. Consternation and almost panic, seized the people of the beleaguered states, and largely the north, as soon as Lee’s whereabouts and the gravity of his pur- poses were thus made apparent. On the 15th of June President Lincoln is- sued a proclamation, still more widely increasing the alarm. In it he stated that Maryland, West Virginia, Penn- sylvania, and Ohio were threatened with invasion and that we required an immediate addition to our military forces. He called for one hundred thousand militia from these states to serve for * six months. This roused up Gov. Seymour to hurry forward fifteen thousandstroops, from New York, and Gov. Parke-r followed with a large force from New Jersey. By the 20th of J 11116, rebel detachments occupied western Maryland, and by the end of the month, many of the southwestern counties of Pennsylvania were being overrun by Stewart’s rebel cavalry and held by Lee’s infantry, all engaged in pillaging, levying tribute and commit- ting depredations upon the defenceless inhabitants. During the last week of our army’s -. Seventeenth Connecticut had camped stay at Falmouth, I had slipped away for a trip home to N orwalk. .My‘chief- of-staft‘, Mr. T. 0. Gray, wired me to . hasten back the moment a move of the army was revealed. Hurrying to Wash: ington, I found at the Tribune Bureau a dispatch stating that if I could reach Chantilly, by a day named; I would there intercept him and the headquar- ‘ter hostler, who had my horses in.his charge. I at once started for Alexan- dria, boarded an outgoing train bound for Culpepper. On running out some twenty miles our train was halted and could go no farther. Fortunately, a detachment of cavalry was at hand, and making for the headquarters of Gener- al Meade then at Goose Creek. As they had several empty saddles, I had no difliculty in accompanying them. On reaching Chantilly, we found that the headquarters train had left there some ten hours before, also, that the there the night before, but at daylight had marched on towards Harper’s Fer- ry. Going on to Mead’s headquarters, he advised me to return to Washington with some disabled cavalry he was dis- patching thither, and to hurry by rail to Harper’s Ferry,-where I would be' pretty sure to intercept what I was seeking. He kindly wrote me an order for the use of a horse and subsistance en route to Alexandria... I asked Gen- eral Mead if he couldih'n detail me a horse to be delivered-s, fithe head- quarters quartermaster, "so‘ that I might follow on afte if r, army from there, and-thus'mo 8,11,. gandquickly overtake them. H‘ ‘tvf'é‘ ‘ " d, that this would be entirely too unsa‘f‘e,as the _ country between him and the Ferry.” was infested with rebel guerrillas and that morning he had two of his scouts shot and their horses stolen and run off by them. I left his quarters about two o’clock, p. m.. with the cavalry escort “ and , we rode until eight, when we camped in a thicket of pines. At day- break we again started for Alexandria, and late that night I reached Washing- ton, only to leave in the earliest morn- ing train over the B. & 0. road, for Harper’s Ferry. Luckily Gen. “Bob” Tyler; of Connecticut was in the same car and on the same errand as myself. Tyler informed me that he was under orders to report to Gen. Hooker at the Ferry, and on arriving at his head~ quarters there, we wended our way. We found the General in an ill-temper- ed hufi', which Tyler soon ascertained. was caused _by an angry quarrel over the wires, With Halleck at the War De- partment. , Hooker had telegraphed Halleck that Lee was radidly moving‘ his entire army to the north and west of him and had left no troopsbehind him, so that Washington was entirelv, safe, and asked that our ten thousand men at Bolivar Heights, be reliév‘ed . of their idleness there, added to his forces and sent to follow up Lee; This re-. quest Halleck curtly refused, when Hooker in his spunky way, telegraphed him to this effect: ' j‘You expect me to engage the enemy and Win a battle, yet you refuse me these ten thousand men who are entirely useless here. If you are unwilling to furnish me the men necessary to do what is demanded of me. you had better place the command of the army in eitgiIermands, and I wrlltender you my resigna- This was just what Halleck most de- sired Hooker to do. Poor “Fighting Joe,” he unwittingly fell into the trap that Halleck had deliberately set for him. Hooker’s resignation was accept. ed as quick as the lightning could flash it over the wire. and the command of the army of the Potomac was turned over to Gen. George G. Mead just two days prior to the opening engagement at Gettysburg. This was an honor and responsibility little dreamed of by Gen. Mead, at the time I had badhim good~ bye at Goose Creek. At Hooker’s headquarters I learned that my steeds had passed Harper’s Ferry about daylight that morning and that my only way to overtake them was to return to Baltimore, and take the railroad from there to York, Penn. Owing to Gen. Hooker’s displacement, my friend Gen. Tyler returned to Bal- timore with me, there to await further orders from the War Department. On the train back, Gen. Tyler took my pocket war map and drew «a blue-pencil circle around the locality, within which he thought the two armies would meet in ‘ Pennsylvania: Singularly, Gettys-. burgiwas very nearlv'in the center of the ring. Arriving at Baltimore, Ihurried over to the Northern Central depot, and caught a train just leaving for York. We ran out some ten miles and halted at a small station at which the conductor received a telegraphic order from Havover, Penn., to return his train to Baltimore; that rebel cavalry had destroyed the bridges and sections of the road there abouts, and that he must not proceed. This order was from the Superintendent of the road, with whom I had a singular and almost grotesque experience on the following Tuesday. Here was another disappointment, begetting a feeling that the fates were conspiring against my rejoining the Army of the Potomac. I was made to feel the more uncomfortable from the fact that a great battle was imminent and the Tribune was without its usual force of reporters for the engagement. Before getting to Baltimore, I learned from the conductor that Icould take the New York train due there from Washington at nine o’clock that night, go on to Philadelphia and from there take the Lancaster train over the Cham- bersburg road, get off at Columbia and from there get to York by a short drive. Railroad trains in those days did not run with our present speed, and it was daylight when we reached the Quaker City. At six a. m., I left en*route for York. On arriving at the Lancaster depot the passengers were all agog in looking at Ex-Pesident James Buchanan who was passing down the street to_a bank, with a good sized tin box in his hand, which I afterward learned con- tained his valuables, that he was re- moving from his residence to the vault of his bank, he having just learned of “J eb” Stewart’s audacious raid and looting at York and Columbia.

The room where the nuptial knot was tied was artistically decorated with ferns, palms and exotics, and, was _redolent with perfume and good cheer. The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of white silk, (her graduating dress at school,) and in her hand was a beautiful boquet of carnaticns and hya- cinths, her favorite flowers. Miss Maud Gregory was a charming bridesmaid gowned in white silk and Harold Glendenning acted as best man. There was aperfeCt hurricane of con- gratulations and presents: The wedding feast followed and it. was a symphony of enticing edible” The wedding cake made by the bride , ' was a feast of itself. An informal reception followed the marital ceremonies, guests being pres- ent from different cities in New York New, Jersey and the far west. Shortly after 9 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Glendenning bade their guests good night and entering a coach were con- veyed their new home on Newtown avenue. - Branched Out.
