 The proclamation of Governor Bigelow will be found in another column. To-day Mayor Robertson will, we learn, issue call to the citizens of New Haven. The tenor of it. we ascertain, will be as follows: Calling atten- ton to the setting apart of Monday next, by | President Arthur, as 8 day of humiliation and mourning, and the corresponding procla- nation of the Governor. The address will recommend to our citizens the observance of the day and the abstaining from secular bus | mess, while also the church bells will be rung in the afternoon, the time not yet des- iRnated, and at sundown thirty-eight guns will be fired on the Green, one for each State in the Union. It will order the closing of the public buildings also, and the half-mast- ing of the national flag on the liberty pole on l the Green.
 1 Many additional places were draped in mourning yesterday principally private res idences. The completed draping of the col leges met the public view yesterday morning. Many people stopped to note large trans- parencies hung out in front of Church street store accompanied by picture of. Garfield, under which was an inscription of loving regard. The Fair Haven horse cars were also decked in mourning. A deep feel ing of sadness rested over the city and the sad details from Washington were closely scanned, while the cuts in the news store windows representing the last sad scenes at the death bed drew to observe them con- stant succession of sad faces.
