NIGHT LIFE OF YOUNG MEN.

One night often destroys a
whole life. The leakage Of the
night keeps the day forever
empty. Night is SINS harvest
ing time. More sin and crime
! are committed in one night
than in all the days of the week!
This is more emphatically true
Of the city than Of the country.
The street lamps, like a file of
soldiers, with torch in hand.
stretch away in long lines Of Ell
thcr sidewalk; the gay-colored
transparencies are ablaze with
attractions; the saloon and bill
lard halls are brilliantly illu-
minated; music sends forth it's
enchantment; the gay compa-
ny being to gather to the haunts
and houses of pleasure; the
gambling dens are atlame with
palatial splendor; the theatres
are wide open; the mills of des-
tructlon and grinding health,
honor, happiness, hope out of
thousands of lives. The citv
under the gaslight is not the
same as under Gods sunlight.
The allurements and perils and
pitfalls of night are q hundred
fold deeper and darker and
more destructive. Night life
III our cities is q bark problem,
whose depth and abysses and
whirlbools make us start back
with horror. All night long
tears are falling, blood is
streaming.
Young man, tell me how and
where you spend your evenings,
and l. will write out the chart Of
your character and final dcsti-
ny, with blanks to insert your
names. 1t seems to me an ap-
)roprlatc text would be, watch
nan, what Of the night a? Poll
:cman pacing the beat, what Of
he night? What are the young
nen OF the city doing at night?
Where do they spend their
evenings? Who are their asso-
'latcs? What are their habits?
y here do they go in, and what
me do you see them come out?
Policeman, would the night life
u young men commend them
o the confidence OF their en-
'soycrs ? Would it be to their
redit?
Make Il record Of the night of
ne week. Put in the morning
apcr the names of all the
Dung men, their habits and
that are on the street
~ sinful pleasure. Would
Icrc not be shame and contu-
on? Some would not dare to
> to their places Of bus u ,ss;
'mo WoulI return home at
Ght some would leave the city;
'mc would commit suicide.
em!cmber. young men, that in
c retina of the a!l-secing Eye
ere is nothing hid but shall be
vcaled on the last day.

Wallingford Democrats.

Effort to Organize q Club-A Melan-
 cho1y Response from the Unterrffied-
 The Hancock Flag Suspended from
 Barber's Pole.
 Special correspondence of JOURNAL CoURIERl
 The grand Democratic pow-wow at Wal lingford last evening was chiefly conspicuous for it's lack of enthusiasm and general de- bility. In the first place there has been 8 wrangle in the ranks of the faithful over the question as to where the banner should be hung; and as it could not be stretched across the street, since the owner of the opposite property is Republican, it now hangs sus- pended over the sidewalk on barber's pole. In the second place the flag itself did not please all the brethren, some of whom de- clared it of poor proportions. We'll, the band played finely, ass they always do; but when three cheers for Hancock were called for, the only answer from the surrounding crowd of Democrats was kind of bray which it would be difficult to describe. The first attempt was enough the second and third of the proposed three cheers were dispensed with.
 At the opening of the meeting Mir. G. W. Hull announced that Mir. c. D. Yale desired to be the president of the Hancock and Eng fish club, and upon getting an expression from the meeting it was found to be favora- ble to that gentleman's modest request. MT. Hull then moved that all those who wished to join the club should rise. The response was very disheartening. Here and there an old war horse arose, but not more than a third of the Democrats in the hall seemed to take any interest whatever. The president then made 8 speech of few min utes duration, which was frequently inter rupted by the applause and cat-calls of the gallery gods. The gist of the oration was the valiant services rendered by General Hancock during the rebellion, reference which must have been a sweet morsel for many of the old ''copperheads' who were present and one which the ''Solid South" would rejoice over. The chairman at the close of his speech intro duced the representative Greenbacker and Democrat Alexander Troup. He was followed by his colleague Graves, both of whom are so well known as to need no further notice. AL together the opening of the campaign for the Democrats must be acknowledged failure. Lack of enthusiasm was evident from begin ming to end. and the audience was composed largely of boys and of the nobility of the Democratic party.

Tomato Canning.

 nv,a New Factory.

Opening or the Guilf0rd Canning COmPa-
 ny's New Factory.
 We had the pleasure Thursday evening of being present at the opening of the new fac tory of the Guilford Canning Coat Guilford. It is two story building 60x1oO feet, situated in the rear of the residence of John B. Hub bard, Esq, one of the original Jacobs of the company as well as one of Gnilford's most enterprising young men. It is to be used exclusively by the Guilford Canning Compa- ny, who are the sole packers of the original ''Sachem's Head Brand" of tomatoes.
 The canning of tomatoes is comparatively a new branch of industry for this section, having first commenced in small way few years since by Messrs. John B. Hubbard, Edwin Griswold, James A. Dudley and MT. Hull, who has since died.
 The secret of their success seems to have been in this one principal idea, viz ''To pack the best goods"
 The soil of Guilford is especially adapted to that perfect ripening of the fruit necessa- ry for good results. And this taken in con nection with the great can used in the pack ing has created such demand for the goods that the company have been obliged to vacate their old premises for the new and enlarged place, which is fitted up in1 complete order, having every appliance at hand necessary for the economic production of their popular goods.
 Nearly six hundred persons were present, many of them the boarders now stopping at the numerous summer resorts scattered along the shores of this popular old town.
 The Guilford band discoursed delightful music, during which all present mingled free ly in social converse or examined the apph- ances for business. After while Prompter Pelton mounted the stand and gave an op- portunity to those who desired to do so ''to trip the light fantastic"
 Refreshments for those present were fur nished by the gentlemen in charge.
 The gathering, like all good New England ers dispersed at the reasonable hour of 1 a. m., all voting this impromptu gathering success, and wishing a like result for the company in their business
 The canning season opens August 21. It may not be amiss here to say that the con- pany have secured Messrs. J. D. Dewen & Co.,, of our city, to act as their selling agents, and they estimate the seasons packing will reach at least forty thousand dozen.

The Universal Peace Union.


 Annual Meeting of the Connecticut Branch-A Comprehensive Set of Reso- IutfOns.
 The twelfth annual convention of the Con necticut branch of the Universal Peace Union has been held in Burrows Grove, Mystic during the last two days, MT. Alfred H. Love, of Philadelphia, president of the American branch, presiding. The speakers were Miss Emma s. Allen, of Seneca Falls ; Levi K. Joslyn, of Providence; Mrs. Amanda Deys, of Salt Point the Rev. Erastus Palmer, of Stonington; Mrs. Julia o. Culver, of Rochester Edwin H. Coates and the Rev. Henry S. Club of Philadelphia; Mrs. Ida w. Benham, of Groton; James K. Hamilton Wilcox, of New York; Zebulon P. White, of Pawtucket and the Rev. George W. Powell, of Baltimore.
 The resolutions denounce capital punish ment, military education and the whole mill tary system, demand international arbitra- tion, the expunging of war clauses from the federal constitution, and equal op- portunities for women; they praise the present administration for keeping to it's declared arbitration policy thank Henry
  for his efforts toward arbitration and disarm- ament; state that the Indians are American citizens under the Fourteenth amendment and are entitled to all the privileges of citi- zenship; advise Peru and Bolivia to accept mediation by the United States, as heretofore proposed by the Peace Union and accepted by Chii advise Turkey to accept the modi- fication of boundary proposed by the powers; counsel Great Britain to withdraw her troops from Ireland, Afghanistan and South Africa, and submit matters there to arbitration by neutral powers and urge the French repub- lie to disband it's standing army.
 The resolutions on foreign affairs were di- rected to be sent respectively to the Sultan, John Bright, MT. Gladstone, President Grevy, the President of Peru and the President of Bolivia.
 A lively debate occurred on temperance resolution, it's opponents holding that forci- ble suppression of the liquor traffic was against peace $principles. The resolution was explained as meaning total abstinence, but not prohibition, whereupon itpassed.
 Memorials were adopted on the services of Zerol c. Whipple, principal of the Mystic Deaf and Dumb Institute and for ten years secretary of the Connecticut branch. and Mrs. Emeline Crouch -Whipple, another officer, both having died this year.
 Five thousand persons attended. Four hundred and fifty carriages and wagons were counted on the ground at one time and thirty boats were engaged in bringing people across the Mystic river. The principal church choir of Norwich, led by MT. Swan, contributed music

Parade of the Grays.
The Drill and Target Shooting at savin
 Rock-Return to the City.

The Drill and Target Shooting at savin ROck-Return to the City. The fall parade of the Grays took place yesterday. The company, under command of Captain Arnold, turned out over forty strong. Headed by their drum corps they marched from the armory to Church street, where horse cars were taken for the West
 Haven shore On arriving at Savin Rock the company marched to the large lot in front of Railroad Grove, where there was an exhaust i've drill in the ''school of the soldier" by Captain Arnold. The company dined at the Sea View House and in the afternoon went to the meadows and practiced at target shoot ing, it being understood that the soldier mak- ing the highest score would be entitled to wear the officers badge for one year. The shooting was at two hundred and five hun dred yards, the highest possible score at both ranges being 50. The best scores were as follows Captain George s. Arnold 15, Lieu tenant F. A. Bowman 19, Sergeant J. Clark 32, Sergeant Hugh Caldwell 12, Sergeant Ed
 ward Osborne 27, Corporal William H. Strat- ton 31, Sergeant George H. Lowe 2S, Ser geant William Lewis IS, Private Charles Stecker 32, Private Robert c. Hart p, Pri- 1 vate Walter H. Blakeslee 27, Private F. L. Luddington Is.
 AS will be seen there was tie between Ser geant Clark and Private Stecker, but the lat I ter waived his claim and declined to shoot off and the medal was therefore awarded to Ser geant Clark. The wind and light was unfa- vorable to good shooting, which accounts for | the scores made.
 In the afternoon the American band went l to the Rock to escort the company back to this city. The band played some fine selec- ! tions in front of the Sea View House, and the company also gave an exhibition drill there in the afternoon, which was witnessed by large number of people. Flags were ! displayed at the Rock in honor of the com
 pany's visit, notable among others being that l of General Booth, Savin Rocks honored ''Mayor.''
 On the return to the city the company | took the horse cars as far as Portsea street, | where they disembarked, and preceded by the band marched through Howard and Con- gress avenues, Church and Chapel streets, to ! their armory, where they were dismissed. When the order 'Fbreak ranks'' was given, the company gave three rousing cheers for Cap \ tain Arnold

The Late Dr. g. H. Bronson.


 post mortem examination held yesterday afternoon in the case of Dr. s. H. Bronson revealed an infiamed state of the kidneys and the conclusion of the medical gentlemen was that death was caused by uremic poisoning, the diseased kidneys affect ing the brain, through the blood The brain was found in 8 partially congested state, confirming the opinion. The news of the death of this estimabIe young physician came with shock to the commu- nifty and expressions of sorrow were to be heard on all sides among our citizens. A meeting of the New Haven Medical Society was held last evening at the residence of Dr. Daggett, No. 60 Wall street. Remarks were made by various of our leading physicians in eulogy of the high character of the deceased, and his painstaking, conscientious, high minded view of his profession, which he had promised to specially honor and adorn, and resolutions embodying the sentiments and conveying words of condolence to the be- reaved family were passed. A call hasabeen issued for meeting of the Board of Health, of which deceased was member, to be held at o'clock this morning, to take commem- orative action. The last case the deceased attended was that of MT. E. M. Jones, who died of heart disease at the New Haven House the evening before the doctors death In response to inquiries of the friends, Dr. Bronson gave his opinion that the deceased could live but an hour or two, and added that should his services be again wanted that night he hardly felt well enough to respond, but would en1eavor to. The funeral will be held at P. m. Sunday, from the residence of his father, Dr. Henry Bronson, 53S Chapel street

Accident to the Laurn

The steamer Laura on her down trip Thurs pay met with an accident as she entered Hell Gate. The iron rod or chain which connects the rudder with the pilot house was broken of, causing the boat to head for Flood Rock She became unmanageable, and but for the prompt action of Captain McNeil and his of ficers undoubtedly serious accident would have bsfallen both boat and passengers. A boat was immediately lowered by John Me Donnell, first mate, who succeeded in getting line from the boat to the dock at Astoria. where the boat was hauled up and temporari- ly repaired until she could reach New York. She was detained about an hour Flood Rock IS considered a dangerous place, and had the accident occurred where the current is the strongest there would undoubtedly have been ser1ous loss of life. The fact of the acci- dent was kept from the passengers for time, which no doubt prevented a panic among
