CAPT. cEo. VI. coLvocoREssEs shot while on hIs way to
 the Night Boati

On Monday Capt. George M. Colvoco- resses left this place for New York intend. ing to take the boat at Bridgeport He went to the Sterling House and returned . key he had forgotten to return when he left there. last week. After getting supper at a restaurant, he started from the Sterling House at 10a P. M. for the boat, bought a segar and enquired the way at the cor ner of State and Main streets. At II, just as the boat was starting, pistol shot was heard in Clinton St. A policeman ran up from the boat and found Capt Colyoco- resses shot through the body and just dy- ingr A large horse pistol was found near him; his sword cane was found neal, ,brok en to splinters, the blade considerably bent. His valise was found the next morning slowed away on the Naugatuck dock rifed of its contents and box of percussion caps and bullet were found about sixty feet from the place where the murder was committed, wrapped in cot ton cloth.
 No one has been arrested, and the only clue yet found is furnished by the pistol with which the crime was committed This was an old horse pistol, altered from flint to percussion lock, and with broken stock. It was identified by saloon keep CT, who saw it in the possession of party of four roughs, Monday morning, and who examined and remarked upon its pe- culiarities. Four men were afterwards seen shooting wharf rats with such pis- tol. The care the Captain took of 8 small valise he had with him probably made these fellows suppose there was something specially valuablein it, and led to the murder. The deceased had little money with him, but it is feared that he may have had bonds and other securities for deposit in New York.
 Captain Colvocoresses was 56 years of age, was native of Greece, entered our navy in 1882, served with distinction till the end of the war, and received his com mission as captain in 1867. At the time of his death he was on the retired list, and member of the Naval Retiring Bo I'd at New York. He was man of ire proachable life, affable manners, and greatly esteemed and respected in this place, where he has resided several years He was in easy circumstances, ,pecuniari- ly, and his life was insured for large amount. He leaves wife, three daugh- ters, and 8 son-an ensign in the navy. The feeling of horror occasioned here by this shocking murder is beyond descrip- tion. There is naturally much indigna-. tion at the neglect of Bridgeport to afford travellers passing through that city req sonable protection.

Wm. G. Coe, Esq, the late Sec. of the Conn. Western, died at his house in this place, last Friday afternoon, after an illness of IT weeks e
 His disease has baffled the skill of all his attending physicians. By request of his family post-mortem examination was made by Drs. Bidwell, Steele, Welch, ST.. and Welch, Jr., all of this place. An ex- amsnation of the brain disclosed the real cause of his death. At the base of the brain tumor the size of 8 large hens egg had formed, which pressed on the brain substance. This disease was no doubt oceasioned by over work and the cares and vexations connected with his position. Mir. Coe has been the Sec. of the Go. from its organization, and to him in great measure is owing the early com pletion of the enterprise. It is great loss to the place as well as an irreparable one to his family. In early life he stud jed law with Hon. o. s. Seymour, oi Litchfeld, and practiced his profession at New Britain some to years. About 12 years since he removed to this, his na- tive town, where he was engaged in man. ufacturing connected with the Clifton Mill Co.,, up to the time of the organiza- ton of the Conn. Western Co.,, since which time he has been one of the active workers in the interests of the Go. He dies at the early age of A years deeply regretted by large circle of friends and acquaintances. l-; {..--g..f.r '-z.sfs

The morning of the 3Oth was beauti- ful morning and the soldiers graves in our little cemetery were quietly strewn with flowers scattered by loving hands. Every thing was quiet and inkeeping with the city of the dead. At Cornwall g pro- cession was formed consisting of about 30teams following the Band to their yard, !, thence to Cornwall Bridge. Itcommenced to rain soon after they had started, how ever, which did not add to the pleasure of all of the party at least. zs
 It is pretty good grass weather now, as we are having rain enough; rather cold and wet for corn; do not think that we shall mow this year much before the 18th.

Durlng Sunday morning fire was dis covered in the immense pile of ra;lroad ties. on the west side of tharailroad track. and 2 few rods above the depot. Tie fire ragged furiously about three hours and was at it's height about the time of the closing services of the morning at the various churches. The alarm bells were rung and the fire engine brought into requisition-whieh did good service in subduing the flames. The wind was in the main favorable, but had the fire oc- cured during the late dry time the result would have been most disastrous, and you would have been obliged to record the event of another village in ashes. The origin of the fire is, unknown but it was probably kindled by some thoughtless boys or men, without malice prepense, it is to be hoped r. sea
 The last Sabbath was a beautiful day in every regard. The churches were well attended and the preaching excellent In the Congregational church, habit is ob- tainng with good many people of sit ting during the singing and sleeping dur ing the sermon-a habit excusable only in the case of infrmity or old age. When the seats are sold again, those where this habit unnecessarily prevails will probably be raised about ten dollars each-a just tariff on the Sunday luxury referred to.
