Reception to Rev. NIr. Kennedy.


 Rev. Father Kennedy, of the Catholic church in Birmingham, arrived home from his months trip to Europe on Thursday evening. His parishioners and other friends had welcome ready for him, and joyfully received him. The steamer arrived at New York early Thursday morning, and he reached Birmingham on the o'clock train. He was met at the Naugatuck depot by Q concourse of people, headed by brass band from Bridgeport. six horse vehicle was in waiting for him. The procession es- corted the clergyman, with spirited music from the band, to the parsonage, where there greeted the-eyes of the pastor, Welcome to our pastor,' the arch itself being adorned with flowers and the grounds decorated with numerous Chinese lanterns. A double row of young girls of the parish, dressed in white, lined either side of the pathway from the gate to the house. The parsonage was | brilliantly illuminated for the occasion, and large crowd of people had assembled to welcome their pastor, or witness whatever of interest that transpired. The procession, consisting of the band, the Hbernian socie- | ty and a number of the Catholic Sunday | school children, filed into the grounds, which were soon packed with people. After the band had played ''Home, Sweet Home, , Dr. O'Sullivan advanced and rendered Father Kennedy Q neat speech welcoming him back to this country and to his people. Father Kennedy replied in an appropriate manner, in which he gave his hearers few words de- scribing the misery of the population of Ire- ! land, through which he had travelled, and finally asking to be excused on the plea of | extreme fatigue in consequence of his jour- ! ney, he saluted the multitude and retired. | The band played number of selections, de- | lighting the people. The trip has improved l the clergYman's health.

The Fourth of July schutzenfsst,

The Germania Singing society of Birming- ham have completed arrangements to take part in the prize concert to be given by the New Haven Arion society on July 4th, and has for some time past been rehearsing with that end in view The society here is con- posed of some twenty-five members. few being from Ansonia, and if their prospects for winning the prize remain in doubt, none who have heard them will question the cer- tainty of their making good impression. On Wednesday night, after their usual rehearsal, the society left their room in the postofice building, and armed with torches proceeded to the residence of Mir. Royal M Bassett, whom they honored with a-Eerenade It was unfortunate that the recipient had no pre- vious knowledge of the compliment rendered him, as it would have undoubtedly been rec ognized From there they walked to the residence of Colonel W. B. Wooster and rem dered three songs with fine effect, after which they were invited into the house. Here they increased the favor by singing three more, one being the song with which they propose to contend for the prize in New Ba- Yen.-D Der6n ZrGgssaipt.

Two Deaths at the Wheel.

Captain William A. White, pilot of one of the Jersey City and Brooklyn Annex boats, whose death at the wheel was announced in our telegraphic columns yesterday, was once a resident of this city. Thirty years ago he was clerk in a grocery store kept by Thad- deus Benedict on State street, now number 60. Since that time he has been ferryboat pilot. It is a singular fact that another pilot named White, of the Fulton Ferry line, dropped dead at the wheel about a year ago. At that time Captain William A. White was also in the employ of the Fulton company, and his friends in this city were seriously alarmed. In this connection it is also singu- lar that another pilot should have died at the wheel night before last. Captain William A. White was about fifty years old and will be remembered by many of our readers.r- B75dgep0rt Standard

Tbe E1tinetton of the Eagles.

A correspondent of the Litchfeld Enquirer writes as follows of the practical extinction of the bald-headed eagle from the Connecti- cut hills:
 "A pair of these birds have lived for many years in the vicinity of Bantam Lake, and visitors there were often delighted at the sight of them soaring in the air. One very clear day last August they came up to the village and remained circling far above the flag staff in West Park for nearly an hour at high noon. Groups collected upon the cor ners to admire them, as their changing posi- tions brought the sunlight upon their spler- did white heads and magnificent wings. It was the first time several of our visitors had seen an eagle, and it was afterward remarked by them what beautiful sight those eagles were above the village green In your last weeks paper read with surprise and row, that they had been shot at Bantam Laken So the last pair of eagles disappear from old Litchfeld, and the species Is now forever extinct here; there will never be any more of them. Their age was no doubt very great The eagle does not come to maturity until five years old, and lives a long time One died in Vienna after @ captivity of 1O5 years Who can tell for how many scores of years this pair had kept watch over Bantam Lake? I know not who did it, but the shoot ing of them was 0 public calamity and has forever deprived our village of rare at traction g

The track was in excellent condition, and quite g number of gentlemen were present to wit ness the trial MT. Vanderbilts team was in first class condition, and showed to excellent advantage as he drove them around the track preliminary to the start, After making one circuit the team was started on the mile which was to decide the wager. They trotted of at an unusually rapid pace, covering the first quarter mile in O35. The second quar- ter was made in O36, giving HI for the half-mile.

The Naugatuck correspondence of the Wa terbury American says: Yesterday morning there boarded the early train at this station Q man who had ticket for New Haven. This man came from the Elm city to Naugatuck just thirty years ago, located here, and dur ing the long interim has not once visited the city in question. He no doubt found many great changes in the former capital, and probably had difficulty in recognizing in the metropolis of to-day much that was familiar to him thirty years ago.

Eatenby Rats.

A five weeks old child of Theodore Fritz, living in a wretched hovel in the rear of No. 3O9 Brown street, Philadelphia, was literally eaten alive by rats Thursday morning. The family are miserably poor, but the house is kept scrupulously clean. Mrs. Fritz went out to buy bucket of coal to prepare meal for her four children. She left the infant lying in a cot bed asleep. She was detained for nearly two hours attending to some other work, and on returning was mortified to see a huge rat leap from the bed where the child lay and escaped at the door. The little one was covered with blood and gasping most pitifully. It's nose and upper lip had been eaten away, and the flesh on the right arm was stripped from the elbow almost to the wrist. The babe lived only an hour after be- ing discovered. The frantic mother ran shrieking into the street, attracting the at tention of Policeman Diehl, of the Sixth pre- cinct, who made an investigation and prompt
 ly notified the coroner of the occurrence.
