The Mexican Veterans.

The Mexican Veteran Convention
which was in session last week in
Washington, adopted ON Saturday q
memorial to Congress asking pensions
for those engaged in the Mexican war,
or their surviving widows and children
and afterward visited the Executive
Mansion, where Ex-Governor Herbert,
of Louisiana, made a short address to
the President, saying that the members
of the convention were glad to recog.
nize in him an old companion in Mexi-
co. The President bowed his thanks
in reply, and there was a general hand
shaking and pleasant conversation
Gen. Sherman and many ladies were
present.
On the return of the veterans to their
hall resolution was adopted asking
Congress to remove the disabilities OF
Mexican veterans who may have ser
we'd in tho Confederate army. The
convention elected the following of
ficers of the Permanent Association
President, Gen. George Cadwallader
Vice president and Counselor from
each State and Territory, and five
Secretaries and a Treasurer
DR.. J. M. Todd and Capt. Jno. Baggs,
of Bridgeport, were the accredited del.
egates from this county.
DIR. Todd was chosen one of the Vice.

AREPoRTER of the hsteltigencer spent
five minutes in Bridgeport On last Sat.
urday night. He is constrained to write
thus of the future Hub:
Virtuous citizens had retired at
o'clock, and at 10 were snoring peace
fully and soundly wLile numbers OF
drunken rowdies made a pandemoni-
um of the streets. Such hooting and
yelling, obscene singing and disgusting
profanity we never before heard. This
rowdyism was not confined to one por-
tion of the town, but was echoed on all
sides. On Junkins' corner two men
were fighting, while others stood by to
see fair play, looking on with that
wooden expression of conntenance
worn extensively by professional ju-
rors. One would think that the men
Sworn to keep the peace on that side of
the river consider it part of their du-
ty not to interfere with disorder so long
as the good people who are not upon
the streets at night are c0ntented and
complain not.
For the good name and fair fame OF
Bridgeport, where so many estimable,
orderly and intelligent people live, we
advise the city "Paps" to look after
these rowdy subjects.

BY reference to our advertising col
umns it will be Eound that the old es
tabiished and wellknown foundrymen,
Henry Wells d Bro, of Martins Fer
ry, have made an assignment. The
real cause of the assignment was the
tightness in the money market, Enough
it might have been averted ha@ not
the creditors, for some reason, become
alarmed as to the stability of the firm,
and made rush upon them. This
firm has heretofore been very success
full in business-investing last year
5000 in new patterns. The foundry
when running full, employed forty
hands, although when the assignment
was made only about twenty were at
work. These operatives will lose none
of their wages, however, as they have a
preference claim in amounts not ex-
ceeding 500.
The assignee, r. J. Alexander, Esq,
will begin at once to settle the busi-
ness of the firm.

Frank was the pet of the household;
for score of years he had been the
faithful trusty family horse, often be-
ing strung from his head to the tip OF
the tail with infantile equestrians. The
panic came on-a fine chance presented
itself to make trade for a more Hod-
ern s.eed, by paying small bonus.
The transaction was completed; the
fearful eyes of its late owners evineed
the deep grief they felt at parting with
the dear creature that had grown ex-
tremeiy grey in their service. Frank
fell into cruel hassds. The former own
er could not see him abused-he recant-
ed-and with pleading sssd !sobbiDg Of
fered the new proprietor ten dollars for
his 'hoss" which was quickly accepted,
and Fsasak is again in the bosom OF his
family.

Coal AND IRoN.-The coal of this
locality has hitherto been considered
by some as unsuitable for the manufac-
ture of first-class iron, but we are pleas
led to notice that Mr.. Lewis Jones, the
practical manager of the munufactur-
ing department of the Etna mills, has
succeeded in obtaining a mixture for
their iron, the products of which can
not be excelled anywhere for teughness.
Under the punches it cuts like lead and
when bars are cut and then bent, the
iron shows fibre of superior cioseness
and fineness.
S0 Their coal proves to be the finest
Iquality for pudding and heating pur.
poses, SURPRISING all expectation In this
lrespe ct.-Bridgeport Standard.

AN interesting wedding occurred at
the reSidsnce of one of our colored citi-
zens last Sunday afternoon. The bride
was very corpulent lady, about sixty
years ofage-the groom had the misfor-
tune CT being almost blind, and had en-
joyed the luxury of being married once.
All being in readiness the preacher
asked the man for his covenant to
''love, cherish and protect this woman, !"
which he assented to very readily. Nc
sooner had he done this, than he COM
menced feeling around promiscuously
for the, object of his affections, for the
purpose of saluting her with a terrific
hug and rousing smack. When about
to acci ,mplish his end, he was inter-
ruptecl By the terrified minister, who
informed the anxious old man, that il
wa not time to salute the bride-.that
her part of the marrying had not been
do ne-whereupon he desisted, and
wa.ited nervously the completion of the
ceremony; and now our pencil fails to
des,cr ibe the scene, and we leave it to
the imagination of our readers to com.
pl etc the picture.
