DEAR BENNETT -
Perhaps could not better improve few leisure
moments than 10 address few lines to you. This
is the season for general musters throughout the
State of Connecticut l therefore think it would
not be wholymproper to inform you Of little that
is going on in these parts
Gov Cleveland arrived here on Monday from New
York, together with Engine Co No 20. from your
city, which was on target excursion, and by the
way look ed extre mely we'll. They were HOSPITALITY
received by Engine Co No 3ofour city. They had
with them the New York Brass Band. and the way
they did walk into "Old Dan Tucker" wasn't slow
Gov. Cleveland locked quite well. He has almost
recovered from his lameness-so much SO that he
can walk well with the aid of staff: He stopped
at the Sterling Hotel It an admirable place, and
is most ably conducted by Messrs. Barnum and
Fairchild.
The Governor was particularly waited upon BY
the amiable Doctor -, Congressman elect, who
was not wanting for poteness nor hospitality, and
our little Mayor was not behind in his affectonate
caresses
On Monday afternoon the Governor, together
with the Doctor and Jerry, and number Of others
Capt. Fazio on board Of U. 8. Gutter Madison, of
Black Rock. salute Of Fl guns was fired in
honor of the Governor. The company having re-
turned from the cutter the Governor encamped with
the Doctor for the night.
On Tuesday the Governor, his private Secretar
the Doctor, and Jerry, the Mayor, departed from
Bridgeport, in barouch, to NOrwalk, as a general
training was there that day, it being Governor
Cleyelands object to review the troops. Unhappily
it raned most all the day, and only our regiment
paraded, that OF Colonel Sanford's, the 24h. The
Governor and suite returned to Bridgeport the same
afternoon. This morning "wednesday the Co
.enor and suite departed to Stepney, to an.
other general muster to-day. tits fine day, and
the Governor will, no doubt, show off to a pretty
good advantage IN, reviewing the troops. The
ladies call him handsome.
There is to be great railroad meeting here on
Friday the 9Th instant. The great object is to pre-
vent the road from falling into the hands of its
creditors. So mote II be. PRINCE ALBERT.
THE MrpDLETowN Observation-Disclosures, Sept g.
Yesterday morning, Sheriff Bacon, of Middetown
came here and arrested Lucien Hall, who lives in
the house with Thrace, hundred rods south oil
Twists Hotel. He has worked in Westfeld the
past summer, and left home last Sunday, and was
absent until night. After hisreturn he sent for DR.
Barlow who sewed up deep cut between his thumb
II, and ne says he hurt himself shutting his knife
but the Doctor thinks it improbable. Capt Collins
mas this morning gone to search the house. Hall
was committed tor further examination. There was
nothing done with Bell and Roberts yesterday
We learn by passengers in the cars, that the Hall
above referred TO has been inmate of the State
prison, and that from acknowledge of his character
suspicion in the neghborhood is streng against him.
In regard TO Bell and Roberts, we learn that the lat
ter 49, or has been since his arrest under the inu
ence OF a severe attack of delirum tremens Bell

The officers over the ground which he says he travel
led on Sunday. Roberts was to pass through the
same ordeal tot day AS both were known to be to-
gt ther that day. IT is supposed possible some dlscre.
pdncy may be detected in their statements IN respect
10 their whereabout at the time OF The murder. The
opinion prevails to some extent in MiddetowD
hat Bell is innocent Of any participation IN tht
bloody deed, but there isless charity tor Roberts
