Tho Concord Muster

The early trains yesterday took to Concord
such OF the military companies as had not
pitched their tent in Camp Massachusetts,.
The principal event of the day was the march
to the battle ground. AT o'clock the troops,
consisting of nearly one hundred companies,
and comprising from five to six thousand men
with any number of brass bands, escorted by
the commander-in-chief and staff, began the
march, They were one hour and half in
passing given point. They passed the spot
where the first British soldier killed in the
Revolution was buried also the house where
the first Provincial Congress assembled, which
was covered with streamers. The distance
from the camp to the battle ground is 81 miles,
andait must have been near o'clock when the
troops returned to their quarters.
The camp ground contains about one hun
bred and fifty-six acres, and scattered over the
plain may be seen companies going through
various evolutions. Occasionally some men
on horses tear insanely about, as the Courier
says, as if the veal of the Commonwealth de-
pended on the rapidity with which they rush
gu from one place, where they learned moth
ing, to another, where they nothing impaired.
Company L, of New Bedford were so un.
fortunate as to suffer considerable loss by the
burning of their tent and some of their bag.
gage. John Bass of Shelburn Falls, belonging
to Company Ii, of the Tenth Regiment, had
his foot smashed by the cars, and it was am
putated. Major Scion Fisher was seriously in-
jured by being throw from his horse.
The gambling booths, grog tents, and all
manner of shows and cookee stands are very
numerous; but the large police force on hand
will probably keep them all orderly.
The Governor has invited the Legislature to
visit the camp on Friday, when the review OF
the line will take place, and he has offered
them the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company as an escort.

HIPS Mint Specific, FOR Badness AND FAILING
OFF OF THE HAIR-The following extracts from letters
show what Hills Mint Specific has DONE and no one can
presume to say that these letters a sufficient
guaranty of what it aDiN do:

TIE EXTRA SESSION.

The legislative committee closed its labors
Tuesday evening. From the elaborate re-
port prepared by Mr.. Hale, it appears that the
whole number of amendments made is 1864,
in addition to the chapters reported IN new
drafts. OF these, 366 were to make the stat
utes conform to the legislation oflS59; and "of
the remainder, by far the larger part are
changes of language only" The report de-
tends the authority and the duty of the COM
mittee to make amendments, and says it was a
task which they would gladly have escaped if
they could honorably have done so. They al
so report the constitution in new draft with
out any recommendation with regard to the
disposition which should be made of it.
The Legislature was in session Wednesday
morning at eleven o'clock. His Excellency
was absent, at the encampment, probably, but
left variety of messages to be communi-
Gated in his absence. One of them invites the
Legislature to join him at Concord, which was
accepted one refers to the Museum of Compar-
ative Zoology and still another to the pur-
chase of the Hancock House. The last mes
sage suggests that ultimately the state will be
required to furnish new accommodation for
one of the terms of the Supreme Court; and it
has occurred to His Excellency ''that suitable
rooms in the capitol may be had by transfer
ring the executive offices of the Governor and
Council to the rotunda of the Hancock Houee,
lift should be purchased by the state, or by ap-
propriating this house to the use of the court,
as the Legislature should deem most expedi-
emit"
The desirableness of making such use OF
the Hancock House strikes the Governor with
peculiar force. The above messages were COM
municated to the Senate. In the House, an
elaborate and interesting message was read,
relating to the State Reform School at West
boro'. We publish it in full this morning
Though he looks upon the institution as meas
uraby failure, he attributes it to grave de-
parture from the recommendations and plans
of its founder and early friends The rene
dies which he suggests are clearly stated, and
worthy of consideration.
The Legislature received and accepted an
invitation to participate in the Inauguration of
the Webster statue on the 18th, disposed of
variety of routine preliminaries, and adjourned
till to-day, at 10 A. NJ

New Jersey Politics,

TRENTON, NJ, Sept. Both conventions,
Republican and American, met here to-day
There is crowded attendance at both halls
The prospects are favorable to fusion.
iSecen p. m.-The Republican convention this
afternoon chose Dudley S. Gregory Tor Pres-
dent, with vice president from each county
in the state. Charles S. Ogden was nominated
on the third ballot for Governor, receiving 379
votes out of the $40 cast. A committee of
conference was then sent to the American Con-
vention, with the request that they adopt Mr..
Ogden as their candidate. A ballot was then
taken, and Mr.. o. nominated by 90 to 49, A
stormy time now ensued, the anti-fusion Amer.
leans warmly refusing to agree with the ma
Jority. A committee was then sent to the OPP
position convention, stating that they had
adopted Mr.. 0. as their candidate This caused
great rejoicing. The opposition convention is
strong in numbers and influence. They adopt
ed resolutions against the federal administra-
ton, in favor of the tariff, and against the AT
rican slave trade. Speeches were then made
by Messrs Zabiskie, Hoxie, Cougar, Foster,
and others. The nomination of Mr.. Ogden is
strong one. He is conservative, old line
wing.

INTERESTING REIo.-When Martin Wal
ton, the notorious highwayman, was dying in
the State Prison at Charlestown, he made con-
fession of his crimes, and dictated a minute
account of his reckless career, which was re-
corded by the Warden of the institution. Tho
work was published in this city in 1887, under
the title of Narrative of the Life of james
Allen, alias George Walton, alias Jonas Pierce,
alias james II. York, alias Burley Grove, the
Highwayman. Being his Confession to the
Warden of the Massachusetts State Prison."
There is now in the library of the Athen@um
a copy Of this work, bound in the skin of the
deceased highwayman. The cover is in one
piece about ten by six inches in size. II is as
soft as wash-leather, but much winter 1t is a
singular rclic.--Boston Journal.

Dead Rabbits Abroad-The School Mistress
Swindle.
New YORK, Sept 7-Inquests were held
yesterday by Coroner Jackman upon the re-
mains of three other victims of the boiler ex-
plosion in Goerck street. The names of the
deceased were John Stewart, Edmand d. Pc
trie, and Edward Roach, the former having
died on Sunday night Petrie on Monday, and
Roach yesterday. Most of the evidence did
not vary materially from that given in the case
of Schade, published on Monday Mr.. Stew
art, however, the father of one of the deceased,
contradicted the testimony given by the engi-
neer, and gave his opinion that the latter was
incompetent. The jury returned a verdict ex-
culpatlng the engineer and proprietor of the
foundry from any blame in the matter,
although the explosion is attributed to
a lack of sufficient water in the boiler
Edward Roach, another OF the victims of the
Goerck street explosion, died at the hospital,
making the fourth death from that catastrophe.
There was considerable disturbance last
evening at some of the Tammany Primary
Elections. The excitement was intense in the
twenty-second ward, where preparations for
general fight had been made, and two carloads
of stones and other missiles collected at the
polling place. The police interfered and pre-
vented general outbreak; but after the cleo
ton tracas occurred between two politicians,
which resulted in the shooting of johnson
Heagan, and the stabbing of Patrick O'Brien.
Last night, at late hour, party of three
men, evidently dead Rabbits, entered the
press-room of Williams & Co., in Spruce street,
and in the presence of some dozen persons at
tached to the press-room, smashed the form of
the Anti-Slavery Standard and made good
their escape. 1t is supposed their object was
to break up the forms of Porters Spirit of the
Times, which was printed in the same office,
so that it could not be issued to-day.

teacher swindler, Hiram 2. Leslie, had arrived
in that city, where two indictments have been

New MANUFACTURING ENTEIPRIsE.-hlr.
J. NJ. C. Armsby has completed the furnish
ing of the new building erected by himself
during the past season on Central street, for
the manufacture of agricultural implements,
plows, cultivators, harrows, horse hoes, &C.,
and will have his machinery running during
the present week. The main building is over
100 feet long by IS feet wide and four stories
high, with two wings extending back, one "a
and the other 80 feet. The chimney is 100
feet high above the base. Mr.. Armsby has
already commenced running his engine, which
is of Is horse power, manufactured by the
Putnam Machine Co. of Fitchburg, and the
only article of machinery connected with the
establishment which is not of Worcester manu-
facture.
The boilers, three in number, were furnished
by Goddard, Rice, & Co., and the shafting by
VIM. A. Wheeler. In furnishing the entire
establishment, Mr.. Armsby has set the very
commendable example of obtaining every
thing as far as possible of home manufacture,
and would have been glad not to have made a
solitary exception in case of the engine. May
we not hope that Worcester enterprise will
soon be able to add to her many branches of
manufacturing industry zone more" for the

terprise is necessary to complete the reputation
she has already acquired abroad as manufac-
turing city, and should have been here long

original town of Norwich, have responded by
thousands to the call to gather to-day, to cele-
brate with appropriate festivities the two hun
dredth anniversary of the settlement of the
place. For months the citizens have devoted
their energies to preparations for the event,
determined they should be worthy the occasion.
The city was crowded with strangers yester-
day, but this morning brought thousands more
from all directions, and the hospitable dwellings
of the citizens were filed with welcome guests.
The morning was welcomed by cannon and
bells. AT an early hour the various carriages
and materials of which the procession was to
be composed began to make their appearance,
and all was excitement when the preparations
were completed and the line of march was
commenced.
