search was made. His body and seven
Others were found buried i'll the garden
The following describes the search, and
what the searchers found. The Blenders
had previously taken alarm and fled:
After the alarm had been given, an ex-
cited crowd visited the place, and the out
house or stable was first examined and
next the larger room of the cabin. Every
thing was exactly as the Blenders had left
them, and there was nothing to indicate
murder or foul play. Even in the next
room there was nothing suspicious at the
first glance; but, on removing one of the
two beds, a slight depression of the floor
led to the discovery of II trap door upon
hinges Raising this trap well about six
feet deep and five feet wide was uncovered;
and upon descending into it the ground
was found to be saturated with thick, fctid
blood, which stuck to the fingers of those
who had been cropping about at the bottom
of the well. The horror excited by this
discovery may well be imagined, and the
clue to many of the mysterious disappear
ances was thought to be near. The soft
ground at the bottom of the well was bored
with rods, but nothing rewarded the search
of the now excited party. There was no
doubt that murder had been committed, and
that the bleeding bodies had been thrust
into this well but what had afterward
been done with them was as yet a mys-
terry.
The investigators then proceeded to the
garden, where they found DIR. York, bur-
led face downwards the back of his head
crushed with hammer, and the body
stripped. Among the bodies discovered in
the garden were those of man and his
daughter The child appeared to have
been thrown into her murdered fathers
grave and buried alive.

The Army Reunion mt New Haven.

New Haven was crowded on Wednesday
with distinguished men, soldiers of the
Grind Army, and strangers who had come
to see the show. The chief attraction to
the crowd, however, was the president,
who arrived in the forenoon and became at
once the center of all eyes. The streets
were gayly decorated, and, as the president
rode from the depot to his headquarters
salute of guns were fired in his honor.
The early part of the day was occupied
with business meetings OF the various army
associations. At noon, the national en-
campmcnt of the Grand Army of the Re
public met, Gen. Burnside presiding.
Prayer was offered by Rev. ii. Clay Trum-
bull of Hartford. After the transaction of
the routine business, Gen. Burnside CON

AT three o'clock in the afternoon the So
ciety of the army of the Potomac gathered
at Music Hall. The hall was gaiiy decor
ated, and the galleries packed with specta-
tors. Shortly after the doors were thrown
open, and the distinguished visitors began
to assemble. First came Gtn. Sherman,
then Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, Gems. Burnside,
Shaler, Hartranft, Mcdowell, Hancock,
Hawley, Franklin, ice-President Wilson,
Lieut. Gov. Tyler, cx-Gov. Jewell, and

me much pleasure, and as we assemble in
this beautiful New England city, to meet
the comrades of our soldier life, let us not
forget those who are absent and sleeping
under the green sod of the Southern States.
There are II great number of distinguished
gentlemen present, who will address you
this afternoon, and it is my pleasure to in
troduce to you the orator of the day, Major
Gen. Charles Devens, of Worcester.
AS the commanding form of Gen. Dew

cheers were given. The orator after well
coming the members of the Army of the
Potomac, proceeded to the delivery of an
interesting address, giving resume of the
military life of Gen. Meade, interspersed
with incidents of the war. The speaker
was frequently interrupted by loud ap-
pause. Gen. Van Zandt of Providence,
then read a poem full of fun and good hits,
as well as fine poetry.
The President was then loudly called for,
and, in compliance, he stepped to the front
of the platform and spoke as follows.
Comrades: 1t affords me great pleasure
to meet you here, but | will not detain you
by any address. To do so would only mar
the pleasure you must have in rejecting on
those you have already heard and which
have been so able, but you only do justice

IMPROVING THE MISSISSIPPI,

9 st. Louis has long been disturbed on ac-
count of her lack of sufficient water trans
portation to the Ocean. The Mississippi
has many shallow places, and it carries
drift which becomes buried in the sand,
and snags boats. A boat suitable to navi-
gate the upper Mississippi cannot go to sea,
and sea going vessels cannot ascend so
high. The necessity for re-shipment at
New Orleans is good for the latter city,
but bad for st. Louis After studying such
notions as the construction of boats capa
BILE of going from st. Louis to Brazil, the
business men have hit upon the plan of re-
constructing the river, and they want gov
ernment aid hence they have invited con-
gressmen out there and have entered upon
n system of wholesale lobbying with them.
AT the finest hotel the members of Con
gress have been feaste d; they will be taken
up and down the river and shown notable
things and places, probably, as usual, at
the city's expense. One of the matters of
which they complain is ''The Graveyard,
which is bend of about four miles in ex-
tent, where lie the bones of thirty-six NOR
tai steamboats,. Cheap water transit, they
think, would do away with the practice
some Western farmers have had of burning
their corn. They therefore contend that
all parts of the Union are interested in
their project of improving the navigation
of the Mississippi.
1t is doubtful, however, If the country at
large would be much benefited, or if even
st. Louis would be greatly helped. Gov
eminent employees on public works do not
push things in the manner of private en-
terprise. 1t is doubtful, too, whether any
great improvement over the work of nature
can be made in the navigation of the Mis-
sissippi without lacking canals to it at va
rious points for several hundred miles
These would afford good jobs for contract
ors, though the idea of anything offering
chance to help st. Louis in her rivalry
with Chicago is so popular with the people

DR.. Hayes insists that the Polaris was
unfit for the Arctic service. The secretary
of the navy says she was selected by Dr.
Hall himself. That her passage northward
through Smith sound was feat in vain at
tempted by Inglefcld, Kane and himself,
is admitted by DR.. Hayes. The secretary
of the navy thinks it probable that Captain
Duddington may push further north and
conclude the researches interrupted by
Captain Halls death, which occurred only
four months after he left home. Captain
Buddington has been in command since
that time.
We may yet hear much that is new and
wonderful from this band of daring navi-
gators.

CHINESE STUDENTS.

The movement of Chinese and japanese
towards America is very interesting. Asia
began by furnishing western stream of
emigration, which in the course of many
thousand years reached America Now
Asia comes to America by sailing eastward
to learn what of arts and sciences the emf
grants have picked up in their travels.
Another party of Chinese students is to
arrive in Springfield in July. The almond
eyes of these people are not set just in our
style, but they look pretty straight into
things, nevertheless. The students are to
be placed to board with people of culture,
who live in good style, are willing to care
for the boys as for Their own children, and
will look well after their manners, morals
and personal appearance. During the first
eighteen months they are to receive instruc-
ton from some member of the family, af-
ter which they will enter public schools or
academies.
Several of the oblique eyed boys have
been attracting attention in Hartford with
their queues, little hats, thick soled shoes,
queer coats and pants, and their parchment
colored faces. They are located at several
points along the Connecticut river in Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut Their ages
are ten to sixteen, and the course of study
is to occupy fifteen years. Some may get
through sooner. The government of China
educates them, and will give them impor-
tant positions. They are to study law,
medicine and engineering upon their return
to China They will exert an immense in
fuence in directing the destinies of the
Chinese Empire, and the coming gen
Grafton will probably witness the in
auguration of revolution in that En-
pire in favor of Western ideas.
