A Genuine Surprise.

The Hartford correspondence of the Wa terbury American says: The speech of MT.
 Curtis, of North Branford, was 8 genuine surprise and pleasure to hear. He was comparatively unknown, and made no speeches during the session, and his voice and manner were against him. He spoke on high and almost painful key, somewhat huskily; his teeth sometimes fell down and impeded his utterance, and the wrinkles on his forehead, the knotted cords and veins on his bald head showed the physical and men, tai tension under which he spoke. But he made no slips in logic or expression. He talked clearly, candidly and yet shrewdy, appealing to the popular sentiment of the rural element in the Assembly,, winning con- fidence, compelling interest and awakening applause When he closed there was consid- erable inquiry about him, and it was learned 1 that he was a Congregational clergyman and graduate of Yale in 184O. He thor oughly acquainted in the Naugatuck valley
 and had been talking with one of your Water
 bury bank presidents regarding freight tariffs.

Upon the casket were placed large calla lilies which rested upon bed composed of blue violets. At the head resting upon 8 stand was 8 large cross composed of ivy leaves, suspended from the arms of which was a wreath of daisies. Another cross of ivy and 6 sheaf of wheat were among the other tributes. At the conclusion of the service at the house the remains were taken to the church. where they were exposed to view for half an hour; a large number of our citizens and ladies taking the last look, after which the church services were held, Rev. Dr. Hawes officiating. A male quartette from the Yale Theological seminary sang finely 'Abide in Me-" and after the reading of 8 very appropriate selection from Holy Writ sang 'It is not death to die." Dr. Hawes made very beautiful, solemn and feeling remarks, speaking of the worth and high character of the deceased, and of the lesson to be deduced from his long useful and ex- emplary life He had lived in New Haven sixty five years, and was universally respect ed and never had an enemy. His entire life was an illustration of the simple force of Christian integrity and his reputation will grow brighter as time passes by. Heworked, prayed and gave.

There was interest about town last night to hear from Donahoe and Sweeney, who were matched for prize fight in New York yes- terday, both of them being from New Haven and having many friends here especially Donahoe who is native of this city and al- ways lived here. Sweeney is native of England and has worked here for some time in the Bolt shops. The packers of both men also live here, Schmander of Congress avenue, who backs Donahoe, and Killoy of Fair Haven, who backs 'tother A private dispatch was received last evening confirming the re- port of the arrest of Donahoe and that he was placed under SS1, 900 bonds Donahoe is well spoken of by his acquaintances as a quiet, reserved, reliable young man, not at all given to brawling, nervy and we'll devel- oped muscularly. A very good picture of him appeared in the F0Zjc6 Gagette yesterday, recognized at once by his friends as good likeness. He is represented in his ''go to- meeting" clothes A picture of Sweeney also is given, representing him in prize fighting dress and attitude This Sweeney's acquaint- ances say is not good and looks but little like him. Donahoe has for his seconds Sullivan, of the Sullivan-Ryan fight, and his trainer, Dick Hollywood. The fight, which is for the light weight championship, will probably come off ill some other locality.
