IIolyol<e People nt savin Rock-A Large
 New Haven Party at COnSa mo ond Lakes
 -ThrOngs at Glen Island.
 Yesterday was lively day at West Haven.
 Railroad Grove, Howes' Pavilion and Savin Rock were thronged with happy people from
 Holyoke, Mass, and neighboring places, who
 to the number of about 600 came down the Hartford road on a special train of about 8
 dozen cars for their annual picnic at West Haven shore, They were taken through to
 West Haven center, whence after a short
 walk they were conveyed in horse cars to the
 shore. Howes, the caterer, served up 8
 mammoth clam-bake, composed of long
 clams round clans, oysters, chickens, blue-
 fish, lobster, etc., at his pavilion, and the
 gustatory qualities of the sea food dinner
 were loudly approved.
 To-day the Hartford male choir and the Meriden First Baptist church make their an nual excursion to West Haven shore. The male choir party will probably number 200,
 and they bring Colts brass band. In all about 300 are expected.
 The George street M E. church and Sun day school had their annual excursion yes terday, going to the Congamond Lakes on the Canal railroad at which beautiful picnic spot l they spent the day in the happiest manner. | There was quite number of friends of the church along, including some prominent citi- | zens.
 l Next week Wednesday the Sunday school society of the Church of the Messiah go to | the famous ''Parlor Rock" picnic resort on l the Housatonic railroad It is a beau tiful grove on the banks of the Pequonnock river and is visited by scores of parties every sea- | son. On July there were over 1000 on the i grounds from Bridgeport.

Am Ex-Candidate for Governor Returns
 to the Democratic Fold With Public Profession of Faith.
 The Democratic Central Club had meet ing last evening in Whittelsey's Hall. The heat was oppressive and the audience was small, although the interest of the occasion was of special character, as the former candi- date for Governor of the Greenback party, Charles Atwater, Esq, the most prominent candidate that party has ever had in this State, was to malD his profession of faith and publicly announce his return to the fold Judge Bradley presided for the first part of the meeting, afterward Ex-Mayor Shelton had the chair. Mir. Atwater spoke with force and gave an interesting statement of his position. He had renounced none of his former views on the banking system, the la Dor question, etc., but preferred to fight out the issues within the ranks of the Democratic party, and would Loyalty uphold the Hancock and English ticket. Great applause followed from the handful present. MT. Atwater spoke for half an hour, making quite for nal and well digested speech, although it was up hill work rousing enthusiasm so near to a tin roof, with many gas jets blazing in the hall, and an audience both small in num- bers and oppressed by the heat.
 Afterward Mir. Alexander Troup did pen ance in the same fashion, except that his pro- fession of faith was made with great vehe- mence and strength of voice, so that passers by down below on the street thought there were reverberations of distant thunder.

The funeral of the late Alpheus N Merwin, of Orange, brother of N. W. Merwin, Esq, of this city, yesterday afternoon, was one of the largest held in the town in several years. The Rev. MT. Staats, of Bristol former pastor of the Congregational church in Orange, of which the deceased was deacon and highly valued member, made remarks as to the life, character and example of the deceased, and paid beautiful tribute of personal friendship and regard.

 Mir. and Mrs. Julius Y. Leonard arrived in this city recently from Turkey upon a visit to Mir. Gibbs Gilbert, No 133 Grown street, father of Mrs. Leonard, after an absence of ten years in their field of mission work in the land of the crescent. They engaged in the work under the A. B. C. F. M twenty-thrae years ago, and have spent about twenty one years in Turkey. They came back in 1868, revisiting their native land and old friends after an absence of about eleven years, and remained two years, returning in 1870. Their present visit finds MT. Leonard in somewhat impaired health Many friends will be glad to hear of their arrival, although not few who were associated with them in former years have diedJ Mr. Gibbs Gilbert is now in his sgd year and still in fair health for one of his years.

 Veterans for Garfield and Arthur.
 The roll of veteran soldiers in this city who have signed for Garfield and Arthur has reached to the vicinity of 400 names, and more are coming. Rally round the old flag
 Some of the Democracy are inclined to think that there ought to be two sets of pri- maries held this fall, while others think that the whole business ought to be done with one set of primaries, and want to know what's the use of having two earnivals. Others ad- here to the former view, and think that the Presidential, State and Congressional business should be settled first, and the primaries for the nomination of city officers come after. The panty managers evidently perceive that the local political question as to their candi- dates for city officers may become interesting It is rather early to decide the matter, and when the hot weather is over it may be found that some of the party managers will be ex- tremely desirous of having the whole busi- ness decided by one set of primaries

 About $50, ,OOO.

Her Second TrIp-A Fine New Vessel-LOss
 About $50, 900.
 The brig Achilles, belonging to L. W. & P. Armstrong; the well known shipping mer- chants of this city, was totally wrecked at Porto Rico, July 8th. It is supposed she ran on a rock The crew were saved. It is probable she was light, as she had discharged cargo at Port Spain. She sailed from New York June 3d for Port Spain and arrived at the Barbadoes June 24th, and was on her way to Porto Rico for 8 cargo of sugar and molasses. The vessel was new, this being but her second trip. She was built at Bath, Maine, in the most approved manner, and was the largest of the fleet of vessels of the Armstrongs. On her trip out the captain, MT. Allen, of Greenport, L. l., was lost over board, as has been announced. The cost of the vessel is supposed to have been about $50, GOO. There was no insurance, it being the firms custom not to insure, but to take the chances on the general average.

Meeting at Tyler's Hall Last Evening
 Addresses by Several Speakers.
 The Garfield and Arthur Campaign Club No. held well attended meeting in Tyler's Hall last evening. Franklin H. Hart, the president, occupied the chair.

Hart stated that the new club room, No. Brewster building, was open day and evening for the accommodation of members and their friends. All the news papers of the day will be constantly kept on hand.
 Roll books have been issued to members of the club for the purpose of enrolling mem bers to the club
 MT. Sheldon addressed the meeting, and after alluding to the meeting in the Ninth ward and his speech on that occasion he stated that in reality it was 8 good time to commence the work of the campaign. It is a good time for us to consider the questions which agitate the country at the present time.
 The speaker alluded to the candidates be- fore the people. When we hear of MT. Han cock we hear of a man who was taken up by the United States Government when young man and educated at West Point, an aristo- cratic guild From there he was assigned to position in the regular army and has never earned dollar outside of that paid him by the Government. What has he done in the army? I have nothing to say of him. We speak of him as we speak of many others who were participants in that great war. Ever since his war career he has been candidate for the presidential chair and now at Cincinnati he was nominat- ed because the South thought he would do Whom have we got? We have got man whose early life was one of sacrifice and toil He was poor widow Gar6elds son, the sup port of poor widowed mother. Like Abra- ham Lincoln, he spent his early days in labor. This was the position our candidate was in and the way he got his education. The speaker alluded in high terms to General Garfelds record in Congress and his political principles. MT. Sheldon's remarks were well received, and he closed amid great applause Speeches were made by H. E. Benton, F. H. Hart N. D. Sperry, Captain J. H. Wilkins and others

Strange Effect,

A telegraph line on the Hill, used in trans hitting messages for the district telegraph,
 was broken during the late thunder shower in consequence of surcharge of the electric current-the wire having been heated red hot and being drawn out and separated just mass of candy would be in working it.
 The phenomenon was quite strange one in electrical experience. The wire had been coated with some heavy deposit of black substance, whether coming from the chim- neys of manufacturing establishments is not positively known.-Hartford Times.
