The morning
 l was spent in drill by both companies and l both dined at the Forbes House, an ample sea shore dinner being provided by Landlord Buell.. After dinner the drill was continued, both companies showing that they were well up in the tactics.
 Among those present as guests of the Horse Guards were Mayor Bigelow, ex-Ma- ! jor Gilbert, ex-Captain Strong, ex-Captain Chidsey, ex-Ieutenant Bartholomew and others. The two companies turned out about sixty men each. On the return to the city the Foot Guards l took 'busses to Fair Haven East, where a halt
 was made. and both companies were invited
 to partalze of refreshments at Quinnipiac Engine company's house by Chief Brown and others. The Foot Guards then marched
 l to the foot of the hill on the west side, where the 'busses were again brought into use, and after reaching the corner of Hamilton and St. John streets they again disembarked, and l under escort of the Horse Guards marched up St. John to Olive, to Grand, to State, to Chapel, to Church, to Elm, to College, to Chap
 l el and thence down Chapel to their armory,
 where they were dismissed. Both companies
 1 presented very creditable appearance.

Coming Nominations and Other Gossip.
 The Republicans have not yet called their . convention for the nomination of candidates for Senator and Representatives. The name of Charles H. Farnam is mentioned for the Senatorial nomination. Matters are dull as yet with reference to the nominations for Representatives. For Judge of Probate also no ticket has as yet been talked of to any ex- tent Rumor has it that ex-Mayor H. Wales Lines friends are disposed to present his name for the nomination for Sheriff. A good vote is expected, especially in Meriden, for any office for which Mir. Lines may be nomi- mated.
 Ex-Governor English has been in New York, and while at the Windsor Hotel Wednesday evening was interviewed. He is reported as saying: ''There is not the least doubt in my mind that Connecticut is sure for Hancock and English" This stunning statement settles it, of course. He immedi- ately goes on to say that the election went Republican two years ago owing to the Green packers, the inference being that this elemenh will not figure in the election this year. Greenback men talk otherwise. The Cover nor, however, assures the Democratic heart in New York city that the Greenbackers in Connecticut are f'solid'' this year with the Democrats, and of course that settles it. The interview goes on with other assurances to the effect that the Democrats of Connecti- cut are exuberant and Republicans all over the State are going to vote for Hancock; and winds up with a reiteration of the ground the Governor took in Congress with regard to slavery'in the District of Columbia and statement, not suited to the latitude of W. W. Eaton, viz, claiming for Democrats part of the honors of the war

Knockmore Chapel.

In view of the visit of two or three from Connecticut to the Knockmore chapel, Ire land, in the last year, the following has an interest hereabouts: Wonderful appari- tions are alleged to have been seen at the chapel of Knockmore, Ireland, within five miles of Ballina, recently. Dozens of people assert in the strongest manner that they have seen various wonderful visions, much of the same description as those said to have been seen at the now celebrated Knock, which is about 16 miles distant. Thousands throng the chapel and grounds night and day, and the greatest excitement prevails. The priest can hardly control the mob, and it is hardly possible to enter the chapel. Strangers are already visiting the place.

A Raid on the B1ae1xnsln and Bnss at
 New Reef.
 The hands at James Graham & Go. s brass foundry on Wooster street had very sue cessful holiday excursion yesterday. Some time ago the firm took the hands all out on days pleasure excursion and fishing trip to New Reef and other places, but the fish stur- dily refused to bite, or else were skylarklng around some other reef. They planned this excursion in compliment to their kind employ CTS, and the whole shops company started out from Belle Dock at about seven o'clock, with their employers on board, and an hour or so later were all busy batting lines with fiddlers, having renewed designs upon the blackfish aud bass. They had along band, composed of shop hands, sev- eral of .whom were good fddlers. It is not to be supposed for a moment, however, that the shop hands employed their musical friends for bait All who are atan acquaint- ed with blackfshing and the shopmates will readily scout and repel the idea. Before they got through fishing, however, the fd- dlers were all exhausted, that is to say the bait, and whether serious designs were con- cocted upon the live fiddlers remaining on board will remain mystery, but certain 1t is that no such scheme would have been seri- ously contemplated, although brass is predoming and much valued article, at the establishment. The fish were in biting mood and the fun soon became fast and furi- ous. All hands had bites, without the aid of the cousining and buzzing mosquito, and blackfsh and bass soon began to lie around on the deck of the Edith in profusion. But the bait gave out and the sport had to be dis continued. On taking inventory about 70 of the finny captives were found, not to speak of a dozen or so that could not be landed. Mr. James Graham was particularly success ful, and in honor of his prowess the band played s'Hail to the Chief'' Anchors were raised and the Edith's party next paid visit to their old friend and former member of the firm, MT. David Corey, of this city, at his summer cottage at Short Beach. MT. Corey gave them most hearty welcome, and the visit was much enjoyed, as also the fine view of Short Beach and it's numerous pretty cot tages, to which Mir. Corey has added several himself in the last few months An abund- ant dinner was served on board the Edith, and the party returned at about five o'clock, having had a pleasant day, and finding that generous friend had insisted upon contrib uting handsome sum to the days expense.

MY PARTNER

Tomorrow evening Mir. Bartley Campbelps famous play, "My Partner, /" will be present ed at the New Haven Opera House. An ex- change says of it: My Partner drew fine audience last evening, and was capitally pre- sented Aldrich made his leading role of Joe Saunders the feature of thes perform ance, with Parsloe's Heather Chinee scarcely less attractive. The other roles were ably presented, for the company, as a whole, is composed of good talent. My Partner'' is a drama of the pure American type, and one whose popularity is merited by it's freshness, originality and unceasing interest. It is the work which lifted Bartley Campbell into fame, and that fertile playwright has given us nothing better. It is a story appealing to the purest and best sentiments and invaria- ply attracts audiences of the best people wherever the play is placed upon the boards Reserved seats are on sale at Loomis'.

The Prime or Life.

Between the AGES Of foryr-tiya and
sixty man who has property rega-
lated himself NAV be considered in
the prime Of life. His matured
strength Of constitution renders him
almost imprevious to aa attark Of
disease, and experience ies gwen
soundness TO lis judgment. His
mind is resolute, firm and equal, all
his functions are in the highest
order: he assumes mastery over his
business; builds up q competence
on the foundation he has laid In ear
n manhood. and passes through
period OF life attended by many graf
iiications. Having gone year or
two over sixty, he arrives at q stand
still. But athwart this Is the VIA
duct called the turn OF life, which,
If crossed in safety, leades to the val
lev Of "old age" round which the
river winds, and then beyond, with
out boat or causeway, 20 effect his
passage. The bridge Is, however,
constructed of fragile material, and
it depends how it is trodden whether
it bend or break. Gout and apo
plexya are also in the vicinity to way
lay the traveller and thrust him
from the pass but let him grid up
his loins and provide himself with a
filter staff, and he may trudge on in
safety and with perfect eomposure.
To quit metaphor, "thc turn Of life"
Is turn either into a prolonged
walk or into the grave. The sys-
tenn and powers having reached the
utmost expansion, now begin either
10 close Ike flower at sunset or
break down at once. One injurious
stimulant, q single fatal excitement,
may force it beyond its strength,
while a careful supply Of props and
the withdrawal Of al that tends to
force q plant viii sustain itinbeauty
and yigor until NIGHT has entirely
set In.
