at the residence of that gentleman on Olive
 street. The occasion was devised by various prominent gentlemen of this city. Among the throng present were many leading citi-
 gems, including representatives of the most important interests of this city. The pleas ant character of the occasion was enhanced by the presence of many lady friends of Mir. and Mrs. Peterson. A bountiful and tempt ing entertainment awaited the assembly. The attack began at about eleven o'clock, previ- ous to which were two hours of social relax ation and enjoyment, of which the happiest part was the rendering of congratulations and best wishes to Mir. and Mrs. Peterson. Among the guests were ex-Governor English, ex-Mayor Lewis, General s. E. Merwin, James D. Dewell, H. H. Bunnell, J. A. Bish- op, Rev. Mr. Lines, John I. Goodrich, Charles S. Leete, T. A. Futile, A. P. Hotch- kiss, H. N. Whittelsey, jr., John P. Phillips James M. Smith and others. Music for the dance, etc., was supplied by Robinson and Malone, also by veteran stranger and min strel, to the company unknown. While the young folks'' were entering with all heart into the happiness of the occasion, some of the seniors were apart recalling reminiscent ces in New Haven history in their own per
 sonal recollection, all of highly interesting character and worthy of record. The party was entire and complete surprise to Mir. Peterson, and the arrival of ''the procession at his door was his first intimation of the visit. All united with great pleasure in the spontaneous tribute to gentleman so uni versally esteemed and so long and promi- nently identified with New Haven interests

John Gumpel and his wife kept the establishment They occupied separate sleeping apartments and had been estranged from each other for some time. The cause of the arrangement was always kept a secret. Gumpel was 5o..years old. His wife was much youngea. Shortly after breakfast this morning the servant girl hay ing occasion to go up st airs heard groans on the second story landing, and there found her mistress bleeding from terrible gash in her throat. The police were notified and Gumpel was found in a room on the same floor dead, with his throat cut from to ear. The room was also found on fire, Gum pei having undoubtedly fired the house before cutting his throat The woman's injuries are fatal It is supposed that jealousy prompted the deed.

Greetings to Garfield-A Great Reception

 CLEVELAND, June 1O.-General Garfield and party arrived here last night from Chi cago in a special car. At the stations along the road crowds gathered to see the Republi- can candidate for President Mr. Garfield showed himself frequently on the platform of the car and bowed his acknowledgements, but made no speech further than occasionally to return his thanks for the compliment of the demonstration. The depot here and the adjacent streets were crowded with people. A large committee of Clevelands citizens met the train at Elyria and accompanied the party to this city. As the train entered the station an artillery salute of one hundred guns began and band began playing, while the gathered thousands cheered boisterously. The party without ceremony took carriages, the ba- rouche in which Garfield sat being drawn by four white horses, decorated with flags The procession then formed, headed by the band, with the Cleveland Grays and the Garfield Clubs of the Third and Fourth wards which were organized on Tuesday The Fourth ward club wore chip hats with Garfeld's name on the broad band There was in scribed on a transparency carried by the Third ward club: ''Ohio's Senator, Ohio's Major General, Ohio's President; solid for the carpenter President; the true favorite son of Ohio is the favorite son of the Union. He who at the age of 16 steered canal boat, will steer the ship of state at 5O." The pro- cession, followed by great throng, passed through several down town streets to the Ken nard House, where thousands of people had collected to hear the speeches. While await ing the arrival of Mr Garfield, Governor Foster addressed the assemblage. Soon after ward Mir. Garfield was introduced by Mayor Herrick, and said
 Fellow citizens of my native country and of my State-I thank you for this remarkable demonstration of your good will and enthusi- asm on this occasion. I cannot at this time address you in speech other than to say know that all this demonstration means your gladness at the unity and harmony and good feeling of the great political party, and, in part, your good feeling toward a neighbor and an old friend. For all these things thank you and bid you all good night
 After this brief speech Garfield held re- ception in the hotel parlors for almost an hour, after which he was driven to the dwell ing of City Treasurer Everett who was delegate to the Chicago convention, and whose guest Garfield is while he remains in the city. Then Garfield was serenaded and appeared on the porch to bow and return thanks, after which he held a short recep-

The Army Worm Long Island.
 NEW YORK, June 1O.-The ravages of the army worm still continue in Suffolk county, and great consternation prevails among the farmers. The latter have successfully fought the potato bug with Paris green, which has also been used to destroy the worm, but with poor success. A great army of the worms are now moving on toward Riverhead, where extensive wheat and corn fields will be at tackled At Mattituck the worms are making sad havoc with the wheat and clover fields, and the prospect is that the wheat will be destroyed in every part of the town. The farmers are digging trenches, and burning straw to kill all that fall in. The destruction of wheat and corn in Westhampton is very great. At Oneck the worms are present in immense numbers. Farmer Halsey of that place burned more than five bushels of worms in one trench.

In few minutes the boat would be swamped on the edge ofSthe dam or hurled over 1t, and young Gallant would be drowned, as the cur rent was rapid and the water deep. Young Everitt, although totally ignorant of the man agement of boats, jumped into a flat bot toned one close by and went to Gallant's re- lief. At this time the Rev. Mir Gallant ar rived on the scene. Both boats were well out in the river, and the narrow racing shell was in danger every moment of being overturned by it's frightened occupant. Young Everitt, however, reached his little friend, caught the painter, and cautiously lowed the boat to the shore.
