ARREST OF SwINDLER.-One Patrick d.
Moore, who has for some time been soliciting
funds from the Catholics of this city, in aid of
a new university in Dublin, was arrested yester-
day morning by the police, at the depot, on the
charge of swindling. From memoranda found
upon his person, it would appear that he has
been for some months in the business, having
operated in the larger places in western Com
necticut. He has falsely represented himself as
Endorsed by the Catholic clergy of this city,
none of whom have ever seen him, and they
know of him only from parties to whom he has
applied for funds. His forged "traveling card,

propagation of the Roman Catholic doctrine which

composition. The camp will break up at noon,
the tents will be struck, and business at Camp
Cunningham will end for the season.
Yesterday was perfect day, and thousands
of persons visited the camp. Among the mill
tary gentlemen with war record who visited
Gen. Chamberlain's headquarters and passed
the day on the field were: Gems. j. A. Cunning
ham, S. E. Chamberlain, and A. b. Underwood,
and Col N. Brown of the state militia, and Gems,
A. B. Il. Spraguc and Josiah Pickett. His ex-
cellency, Gov. Claain, reviewed the brigade at
eleven, A. NJ, and the general commanding has
reason to be satisfied with the manner in which
his troops acquitted themselves, some of the
companies of the tenth regiment in particular
winning praise from the critical lockers on by
the perfect line they preserved while passing the
reviewing officer. The fifth battery maintained
its credit as the best organization of the kind in
the state.
Gov. Clahin remained through the day, wit
Messing the brigade dril and parade in the
afternoon, and the subsequent dress parades of
the second and tenth regiments and the fifth
battery. Gen. Chamberlain had an efficient adj
jutant on the occasion in the person of Col. ].
A. Titus. The beautiful day, so clear that
Mount Wachuset seemed to rise from the dis
tant end of the plain in which the camp is To-
Gated instead of being, as it is, miles away, and
the entire absence of dust greatly heightened
the attractions of the camp The conduct of The
soldiers has heen excellent and but little drunk
enness has been observed in or about the camp.
Gen Chamberlain has shown his dislike of such
unmlitary conduct by dishonorably discharging
yesterday two privates of the tenth regiment for
drunkenness and conduct unbecoming soldiers.
The music at brigade movements yesterday
was by the combined regimental bands-the
Fitchburg and Northampton bands-the latter,
the Haydenvillc band, attached to the tenth reg
