Mantle.
Connecticut Militia i'm Camp.

Connecticut Militia 1n camp
 The First and Third regiments are com fortably in camp at Mantle The line of tents occupies about thousand feet front, and the quarters of the different regiments are separated by the broad main avenue, at the foot of which are planted the colors of the regiments. The first cross street con- tains the tents of the line officers and the sec- ond those of the colonel and coloners staff of each regiment. In the rear of these, with the generals tent in the center, are the headquar- ters of the general and his staff, and behind those the hospital tents and the sutler's quar- ters. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the Gov ernor and his staff, and headquarters have been assigned him on the right of the camp. It is possible that Governor Andrews will be prevented, by important legal engagements at the Litchfeld county bar, from attending the review was his purpose, and in that case Lieutenant Governor Gallup will occupy his position
 During the week the Governors Foot Guard, of Hartford, will visit their comrades of the First and Third and the officers of the Twenty third regiment of Brooklyn will in- spect the condition of the Connecticut militia. Military visitors from Boston, Providence and other New England cities will also visit the encamplnent. General Bulkeley has sig nifed his intention to be present at Mantle during the entire week.
 The chief features of interest are the bri- gade dress parades of Monday and Wednes- day afternoons, the inspection on Thursday and the grand review on Friday. Special at tention will be paid this year to battalion drill a branch of military duty of the utmost importance in actual service, and in which the regiments are necessarily deficient on count of their remoteness from one another, and the rarity of occasions which afford an opportunity for it's requirement..

Grace Church Brown.

Yesterdays N. Y. Evening Post says {: Among the amusing stories told of Mir Brown by others, is one to the effect that vixen one of the Rothschilds was on visit to this city, and wished to go from one reception to another, across muddy street, Mir. Brown carried him over upon his back It is also said that on one cold morning, when Grace church was not properly heated, Mr. Brown placed his finger upon the bulb of the ther- mometer which was kept in the late Peter Stuyvesant's pew, and sent the mercury up toward 90 degrees just before the arrival of MT. Stuyvesant, who shiyered as he inspected the instrument, but could find no fault with the sexton. This incident is recorded with fictitious names, in a humorous ballad by William Allen Butler, and reference is also made to Mir. Brown in George William Curtis "Potiphar Papers,
 Among the many occasions at which Mr. Brown was conspicuous a master of ar engagements were the reception to the Prince of Wales at the Academy of Music in 186O the famous Diamond Wedding" and the marriage of 'Tom Thumb" to Lavinia War ren.
 MT. Browns portly figure and genial face were familiar to great numbers of persons His weight was recently two hundred and ninety pounds, but it is said that at one time ne Welgheu tnree hundred and thirty nine pounds, the latter figures, as he was wont to remark, corresponding with the number of Puritan Lodge of Freemasons, of which he was the first Master. He took great inter- est in the Masonic order, in which he had passed all the degrees up to the thirty third, and he was very active in the collection of money with which to build the Masonic Tenn pie In the State Grand Lodge he had served as Grand Steward and Grand Standard.Bear- CT, and he was a member of Palestine Con- mandery, Knights Templsr.

The first prize was awarded to the Arion Society, of New Haven, the prize being handsome drinking horn, highly polished and heavily mounted with gold, and is said to be the handsomest thing of the kind ever seen before in this part of the country. The second prize, which was a handsome gold medal in satin case, and valued at $50, was presented to the Amphion Society, of Waterbury, by Mir. Paul Beaur. The third prize, choice collection of singing books, was awarded to the Germania Society, of Union City. On the return trip the Amphion double quartette delighted the excursionists with variety of both German and English songs, which were loudly ap- plauded.

 The Bridgeport Standard says: The moonlight excursion given by the Sedgwick Guards on the Rosedale, Saturday evening, was patronized by about six hundred people, Savin Rock was reached at ten o'clock, and the excursionists given one hour and half at the place. The Howe band furnished music for the excursion and gave a concert in front of the hotel at Savin Rock The sail was pleasant. During the trip the pilot house was besieged by party composed of city and county officials, railroad and news paper men.
 The steamer Americus brought 400 ex- w OAAASoPOAS ySSbOrOdy ITOLu New York.
 One of the pleasantest trips of the excur- sion season is that of the New Haven Steam boat Company to New York, leaving here in the morning by the steamer Continental, land ing at Twenty y-third street, and returning in the afternoon on the beautiful steamer c. H. Northam, arriving home early in the evening. A particular feature of the excursion is the fine music discoursed by Thomas orchestra each day, which is spoken of by connoisseurs as of very high order. The cuisine of the Northam is unsurpassed by that of any steamer on the Sound, under the able super intendence of the ever popular steward, Mr. Berkele. He caters to the wants of about l two hundred each day. The experienced clerk of the boat MT. Horace Clark, is ever on the alert in his attentions to the wants of | the patrons of the line. We would advise all | to avail themselves of trip to New York | and return while the season is at it's height | on one of these favorite steamers.

The wheel struck the lads head. The con- ductor, who had been busy attending to mak- ing change and handling the horses, put on the brakes in 'tjiffy' and the car came to a sudden stop. The boy lay alongside the wheels, and was picked up by two men and carried to his home on Ed street.

A DIIntster,s Family Taken I'll.

The family of Rev. c. B. Ford, pastor of the Methodist church in Waterbury, (form- erly of the George street church in this city), consists at the present time of himself wife, daughter and niece, who is visiting them, and each one was taken suddenly and severely ill during the morning service on Sunday. MT. Ford entered the pulpit at 10:3O feeling as well usual, but soon after beginning his prayer he experienced a painful sickness of the stomach. He finished praying, however, and after giving out the hymn retired to one of the ante rooms and obtained some relief, in fact felt so much better that he thought he would be able to preach. After he commenced his sermon the illness returned and he was obliged to request J. l.. Swift to take his place. In the meantime his wife, daughter and niece had been attacked in the same man. ner, and they too, had to withdraw from the church and go home MT. Ford suffered ex- cruciating pains and it was some hours before the doctor could afford him relief A nurse was called in and in the evening she was taken with the symptoms that the others had exhibited. All parties were still confined to their beds yesterday morning, but were bet ter, and their speedy recovery is probable.
 The cause of this sudden sickness which had attacked each member of the household except one, had not been ascertained and several articles of food were unjustly sus- pected, as shown by examinations by medi- cal man.

Attempted Suicide oran Old Lady.

The Waterbury American says: Saturday evening as W. H. Beardsley, the Naugatuck news agent, was driving in Stratford with his uncle, he discovered a woman's shawl ly- ing on the foot walk of the river bridge
 This excited his suspicion, and leaving the buggy he ran to the bridge and peered down into the water. Mir. Beardsley hastened to the end of the bridge, and by clinging to the stone-work edged his way down to the tide gate beneath the structure He succeeded in reaching the clothing and soon pulled the woman's head above water. It was person upwards of 70 years old and she soon began to eject quantities of salt water, after which she rallied and asked her rescuer why he in- terfered with her, as she wished to die, and had voluntarily thrown herself overheard
 MT. B. shouted to aparty near by, with whose help he managed, by knocking plank off the bridge above, to haul the would-be suicide upon terra frma. The woman wore neat white cap and held in one hand rose and in the other a crucifx. On recovering suffi- ciently she walked off home. Mir B. could not learn her name or why she wished to die.
