The audience was large and enthusi- astic ‘and the entertainment proved to be one of interest and was well en- joyed by all The enterainment was a novel one s originated by Rev. Mr. Rick- d the members of his class and Peace meeting at the Hague was a big feature. In discussing the peace problems trouble arose and lively dis- putes were encountered that added much amusement. The impersonation of I. Paderewski by Milton Osborne was carried out to perfection and all ~characters were made up_to resemble their impersona- tions. The Scotch lassies under the direction of Mrs., Edward Perry filled in their part fauitlessly and the whole programme was well balanced and en- tertaining.

Whittemore Chosen As Broadway School Principal— Thanksgiving Day Was in December — Two New Yorkers Came Here to Manufacture Hoop Skirt Web- bing—Bringing Norwich Dead Home from Ander- sonville. At a meeting of the board of edu- cation In this city just a half cen- tury ago this week, N. H. Wittemore was chosen as principal of the Broad- way Grammar school to succeed J. W. Allen who resigned. The supply of Thanksgiving poultry in the local market was not as large as was ex- pected owing to the fact that the far- mers held onto their birds in the hope of securing high prices. It was announced the same week that steps had been taken towards bringing the Norwich dead back home from Ander- sonville for final interment. Five Norwich boys were known to have died at Andersonville and it was thought quite likely that there were others ‘as relatives and friends were requested to notify the postmaster SO that the remains might all be secured at one time. Extracts from the files of the Bulletin of December 1865 are as follows Stolen Horse Recovered. Monday, Dec. 4, 1865—On Saturday evening Mr. Edward Chappell’s horse and buggy were stolen from near the West Side depot where he had gone to wait for the West Side train. Search was made but of no avail un- til about 7 a. m. Sunday, the property was found in front of George A. Pratt's_residence, on the West Side where Mr. Chappell formerly resided. The horse had evidently been driven nearly all night. J. W. Allen, who has been for many years principal of the Broadway School in this city, having resigned that position, has received the ap- pointment of special agent of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, and will enter upon his new duties immediately after the close of the present term of this school. The company is old and well estab- lished with assets of over $14,000,000 and the position is a very desirable one. We wish him abundant success in_his_new vocation. On Wednesday the winter arrange- ment begins on the New London Northern railroad. The 5 a. m. train from New London to this city and the evening train from this city to Willi- mantic_and return will be discontin- ued, The morning _train for Palmer will leave here at 7.50 instead of S.40 o'clock, as now. This arrangement will accommodate the citizens of Noi wich better than that of last win- ter. Congress Opened Harmoniously. Tuesday, Dec. 3, 1865.—We lay be- fore our readers this morning the pro- ceedings of the first day of session of of the 39th congress. Contrary to all the hopes of the Copperheads of the North and the half-converted 'rebels of the South, there was no jarring or dispute, no division or disagreement among the representatives of the dom- inant party. Everything went along smoothly and pleasantly and the offi- cers nominated in the Union caucus were elected In a solid Union vote, The glass blowers entertained quite a number of people at Breed hall last evening. The glass steam engine is a unique and beautiful piece of work. The entertainments _will continue through the week. With the aid of our efficient police the managers of this entertainment are confident that no one need be afraid to attend the performances. The glass trumpet, a beautiful le, to be awarded to the fire company that sold the most tick- ets, was given to Uncas Company No. 3 at the Falls. New Norwich Industry. Powers & Nash have lately com- menced the manufacture of a three- edge cotton webbing for hoop skirts, in the building directly in the rear of Smith & Hedge, Water street. They are now running but two looms, turn- ing out 2,000 yards a day. The firm is composed of J. L. Powers and L. R. Nash, two courteous and enterprising New ' Yorkers. They expect soon to greatly enlarse their establishment and to manufacture tapes, bindings, welting and elastic good: Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1865—The board of education at their meeting Tues- day evening, made choice of N. H. Whittemore as principal of the Broad- way school, to succeed J. W. Allen Mr. Whittemore Is a former pupil of the school, a graduate of the Free Academy, and well and favorably known as principal of the school at the Falis. There s no doubt of his success in the new and responsible sition to which he has been called B3 the action ‘of the board. Thanksgiving Poultry. The supply of poultry in the mar- ket yesterday was not as large as was expected but today it will be am- ple for those who desire to keep their Thanksgiving in due and ancient form. Fine fat turkeys were selling at 28 cents per pound and chickens about the eame, geese at 27 cents. Farmers have been withholding their poultry from market for sometime in the hope of seeing prices go higher, but the warm weather of last week frightened some of them into market and_brought the price down from 30 to 28 cents. The change to cold weather encouraged them to again hold on and the consequence was that very few turkeys and chickens were brought in yesterday. President Johnson's Messag President Johnson's message has been so anxiously awaited by the country that we are positive that no man who takes the least interest in public affairs will fail to read it from beginning to end. And we are equal- 1y certain that the number will be few of those who having read the docu- ment will not lay it down with a failing of relief and pleasure. It deals so frankly, sensibly with the great questions of the day that it cannot but give the strongest assurance to the nation that the helm of state is in reliable and honest hands. Poor Thanksgiving Weather, Saturday, Dec. 9, 1865.—Thanks- giving out of doors it was disagree- able enough. In the morning a moist snow storm set in, which turned into a chilling mist before noon, while the streets were so sloppy and slippery that the few pedestrians found loco- motion - a tedious business within doors the cheerless wintry elements that raged outdoors were all forgot- ten in the universal gladness and hil- arity of the festival. were thinly attended as weather doubtless keeping home. Norwich Dead at Andersonville. The Norwich dead at Anderson- ville. It is well known that steps have been taken towards procuring the bodies of Norwich soldiers buried at Andersonville and bringing them home for re-interment. It is probable that an agent will start South in a few days for the purpose of effecting this purpose. The Norwich men known to be buried at Andersonville are: Sylvanus Downer, Joseph H Winship, and George W. Ward, Co. C, 18th Regiment; William G. Hayward, Co. E, 1Sth Regiment; James Mc- David, First Cavalry. If there are others besides these their friends will the at usual, many do well to notify Postmaster Stark- weather at once, that their remains may be obtained with the others. Services in the East Main street church are changed for months commencing with tomorrow. Sabbath school in the morning, com- mencing at 10.30 o'clock. Preaching in the afternoon at 2.30 o'clock and in the evening at 7 o'clock. A memorial discourse for the mem- the winter bers of the Second Congregational Sabbath school, who fell duxing the late war, will be preached tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Dana. Their names will doubtless recur to many of our readers. They were Sergt. James Thomas, of the 13th regiment, Lieut. Gooddard of the Sth regiment, Capt. Nickols, of the 14th regiment, Adjutant Culver of the 18th regiment and Corporal Beckwith of the Massachusetts Second Heavy Artillery. SUIT FOR DAMAGES FOR $5,000 SETTLED Thamesville Girl Was Plaintiff for In- juries in Auto Accident. The $5,000 damage suit brought in the superior court against Annie Meech Walker of this city, in favor of Josie Saczylouski, a minor, through her father, Wadislaus Saczylouski, has been settled and was withdrawn on Friday without costs. It was brought on the grounds that between 4 and 5 o'clock on the after- mnoon of April 10, 1913, Josie Saczylou- ski was struck on West Thames street near Shipping street, by an automo- bile driven by the defendant. It was claimed that the automobile was oper- ated at a dangerous rate of speed and without timely warning and that the injuries to the girl consisted of cuts on the head, ocncussion of the brain, back wrenched, right hip injured, men. tality and hearing permanently af- fected. Shields & Shields were attor- neys for the plaintiff and Brown and James for the defendant. Y. M. C. A. RECEPTION TO RETAIL MEN. Innovation Introducing Through So- cial Committee For Next Tuesday Evening. The social committee of the local Y. M. C. ‘A. has arranged a reception for the men clerks and proprietors of the retail stores of the city for next Tues- day evening, December 14, from 8 to 10 o'clock at the Y. M. C. A. build- ing. This is an innovation and it is believed -that ‘a large number will at- tend. The purpose is to give the men a pleasant social evening. The programme will consist of moving pictures, music, gymnastics, games, etc. Refreshments will - be served. - All retail (men) clerks and proprietors are invited to attend and they will be -cordially welcomed. e ———————————— SCROFULA AND ALL HUMORS GIVE WAY retail There are many things learned from experience and . observation that the olderhgenetntion ahmg:‘ im- press upcn the younger, on; them is the fact that serofula lnfi other humors are’ most suecessfully treated with Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

GRATITUDE FROM FRANCE. Mrs. Bela P. Learned Thanked by Countess de Beaumont for Gifts of Yarn, Ete. During October, Mrs. Bela P. Learn- ed of Norwich read in a New York paper a letter from Countess Etienne de Beaumont of Paris appealing to American women to eend yarn and knitting materials, remnants of yarn and wool, no matter how little, to her, that she might give it to the poor ‘women coming out of the hospitals, re- covering from wounds and {liness, and having nothing to do. There was no yarn to be had, the letter stated, and they were desperate with their idle hands. Countess de Beaumont gave her address, 2 Rue Duroc, Paris, and said that every- thing, no matter how small, would be most gratefully received and acknow- ledged, and photos sent also. Mrs. Learned, touched by tl sor- rowful appeal, at once sent a large box, not only of hanks of yarn, but scraps and half skeins and all she had left from her own Kknitting: also knitting needles of different sizes and kinds, steel, wood and ivory, besides some of all wool flannel, bandages, The box was sent by parcel post at a very small expense, something like 15 or 20 cents. This week Mrs. Learned has re- ceived a mast grateful letter of ac- knowledgment from Countess de Beau- mont, with photographs telling better than any words could do of the horror and misery of the war results. The letter is, of course, in French, and, translated, follows: 2 Rue Duroc, Paris. November 23, 1915. Madame: — Pardon me if I reply in French; but, while I understand English well, I fear writing incorrectly. And I want to thank you immediately, without waiting for the assistance of friends more ready than I in your beautiful language. I received yesterday a package con- taining all that you promised in your letter of Oct. 14th. We will be most grateful for the needles especially, of which we never can get quite enough, the bandages, and the linen, for which I thank you. Under conveyance of our hospital ambulance, I am sending tomorrow your box, to be given to the refugees in the region about Rheims. Let me thank you again; you have generously sent exactly the things which we need and can make useful. I am sending you with this an illus- trated prospectus which will give you 500d idea of the wagons of which we have a hundred at the fromt, and thanks to which we are able to aid our poor sufferers. The photographs in the pamphlet were taken in my yard, at 2 Rue Duroc. I am sending also photographs of children in a cellar at Rheims. They are orphans whose mothers h: been killed and whose fathers are at the front, and whom we have rescued. The second picture shows my cousin, Prince de Chimay, who commands one section of the Beiglan autocars. The tramway pictured at the back has served all winter to carry rellef to the wounded Belgians the entire lenath of the fighting line of the Yser, where Her Majesty the Queen has a hospital admirably organized. The third photograph represents an unhappy waif whom I myself rescued in a house bombarded at Toperhinge. The mother lay dead beside him, her head taken off either by a bomb or a sword. He is now well taken care of near St. Omer, where we have given a chateau and a beautiful park for our refugees. Believe me, Madame, you have my sincerest thanks. I will give your kind messages to our poor, unhappy women. Yours, ETIE NE DE BEAUMONT. DRINKING WATER FREE FROM TYPHOID GERMS State Board of Health Makes Report on Navy Yard Conditions. the fears of many residents of the Navy Yard that drinking water drawn from the Shey Cos tanks caused the recent outbreak of typhoid fever the following is submitted which is the general conclusion drawn by the state board of health after an ex- haustive and quantitative analysis: The bacteria are low in number and no suspicious orzanisms were found. The above results show no evidence of the presence of danger- ous contamination and the water is apparently entirely safe for drinking purposes at the present time. (Signed) “H. W. CONN, State Chemist.” Town Health Officer Dr. A. M. Pur- dy says: “No typhoid baccili being present in any of the samples sent away, and as the disease never arises spontaneously, it clearly points to an important case, spread by the innu- merable flies. 'Since no causes have been reported for a month, the clean- ing up and disinfecting seems to have been effective.
