Grant to the presidential chair. The returns were very slow in coming in but up to Saturday night there were over 35 votes in the electoral collegé ‘over the number neceseary for ths election of Grant and Coifax. Extracts from The Bufletin's files of '68 follow: Nov. 3, 1363—Republican and dem- ocratic papers played their last cards on this date as it was the olection day and interest ran high in Norwich. Many bets were placed on the results, the. betting being $100 to $40°and 360 on Grant to win. Connecticut . was sold in favor of the republicans at $100 to $60. The first snow storgn of the seasom took place on Monday but was light and soon turned to rain. The streets are muddy and the country roads are the same. At a meeting of the common,.eoun- efl the fire limits of the city were ex- fended and all new buildings erected | within these limits hereafter must be of brick. Nov. 4, 1365—The republicans have made a sweeping victory. Grant and Colfax have been elected and the Union is saved. Norwich gives the splendid majority of 402. Connecticut went republican by a large majority both for presidentia] electors. and for other state officers. Norwich celebrated the republican vietory by bonfires in several parts of the city and the peoplc who waited until after imidnight for the returns cheered and sang until a°Jate hour this morning. Returns were announced ed at The Dullegin and the large erowds cheered themselves hoarse. The whole country with the exception of the south seems to have gone for Grant by large majorities. In New Or- leans there was some rioting as the negroes were prevented from voting COUNCIL OF DEFENSE TO HELP LOCATE DESERTERS The Connecticut state council of de- fense has apfounced that at the in- stance of the war department it is to keep in touch with commandants of military posts both in and out of Con- necticut for the purpose of detecting deserters from the army. To this end all war burcaus will co-operate. Com- manding offfcers have been instructed by the war department fo advise the state council of the names and ad- dresses of soldiers deserting or absent without leave and thought to be-in this state, together with other information necessary in their apprehension. Sol- diers thus detected will then be report- ed by the state council to the proper military - authorities. “The very widest publicity should be given to this new order of the war department, as the widespread know- ledge of the fact that information con- cerning deserters is disseminated in this way will greatly discourage de- sertion,” says a government bulletin to the Connecticut council. “It is es- pecially important, however, that you keep up the constructive part of the work and that you create a strong public condemnation of desertion, as this will do more to eliminate the evil than any punitive measure.” TWO DAUGHTERS RENDER IMPORTANT SERVICES Rev. and Mrs. John Thompson of Glasgo, formerly of Norwich Town, have received letters from their two daughters, Mrs. Bobert J. Burroughs and Miss Gladys Thompson, that they have both passed through the’ epidemic of influenza without a day's illness. Mrs. Burroughs, who is a_member of the faculty in the Johnson High school for the third year, answered the call for volunteer aids in the Lawrence City hospital and gave nine days_to the relief of the suffering there. Mr. Burroughs is somewhere m France. Miss Gladys Thompson left over six months ago for Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. where she has been acting as diefitian in the service of the Red Cross. About three months ago Miss Thompson was promoted to he head dietitian in the camp. During the re- cent epidemic there were 12300 ill at one time. Since then a letter of com- mendation has been received by her parents from official quarters at Camp Lee telling of the high regard in which Miss Thompson is held at camp and expressing “appreciation for the excellent service she has rendered here.” TWO CLASSES ENJOYED HALLOWE'EN MASQUERADE The primary room of the Fitst Bap- tist Bible schooe! wvas rrettily decor d Friday evening when Miss Gracs Stet- son’s class entertained Mre.
