 A Visit of About I've Thousand Two
 Hundred Norwich Excurs1onists.
 The Sound steamer City of Lawrence ar- rived at Canal dock yesterday afternoon at 1:3O bringing about ? 2,2OO excursionists from Norwich from the Catholic parish there. Hacks were in demand and the large party strolled about the city, visiting prominent points of interest in the center, and several hundred went to Savin Rock, making it live ly for the caterers down there. Superintend- ent Ward had large number of cars in wait ing for them at the depot Their stay from the boat was limited to about three hours, The starting time of the boat was 5, but it was delayed half an hour to wait for late corners and finally steamed off down the har- bor. After going about half mile the boat returned, there being couple of hundred more late corners who were very anxious to get aboard. A second start was made, and by the time the boat had got a mile or so away another batch of excursionists had as- sembled at the dock, but they soon made up their mind that they were ''left," and it wasn't "a very cold day" either. The excur- sionists had band of music on board. At4, just before the party returned aboard the boat, three of them got into quarrel on the dock and created such disturbance that Mir. Miller telephoned for the police. Chief Webster sent five officers to the dock, but be- fore they arrived the muss was over, and the offenders had hid themselves on the boat.

 At 9 meeting of the Board of Selectmen
 evening MT. Lucius P. Deming, of Fair Haven, made an address of some length in reference to the proposed improvement of North Quinnipiac street, Fair Haven, setting forth the wishes of large number of proper ty owners.

 Also the Board heard Lawyer Dickerman, who. appeared as counsel for Donald G. Michell in reference to the strengthening and improvements of West river, on the question of damages. The Board asked for state ment as to the amount of damages.

of this and other workmen in favor of a library in the old State House. In the name of the Grand Army he demanded free library The Groen was the only place for it to be located. There was talk of monu- ment on the site of the building, but library would be the best monument the city could have. As the workingmen did the buying in this matter, let them do the decid- ing through the ballot-box.
 Mr. Henry Rogers spoke, and in the course of his remarks said If it was to cost $6O,- 900 or $75, 900 to repair it let it be demol- ished But architects of repute reported that the building had been shamefully ne- glected and that it could be made whole and safe at comparatively small outlay. The speaker thought the model one of great beauty. But the question was a practical rather than sentimental one. He was au- thorized to say that President Porter was ia vorable to the retention of the building if it would be repaired in 8 satisfactory manner at l an outlay of not more than $25, ,OOO There was no objection on the part of the college managers to it's remaining where it was Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., said he was surprised to hear the charge of dampness against the building He had been almost a daily visitor there for three years and never saw any evidence of dampness; neither did the condition of the papers show it. Prof Johnson T. Plstt favored the reten- tion of the building if it could be repaired at a reasonable outlay. The building would answer for some tune Tor use as public ll- brary.
 A. w. Phelps favored keeping the build ing. It was one of the relics of the past worth keeping. ''Woodman spare that tree. D
 Milius Frank favored the removal on the score of economy, and s. P. Kellogg follow ed in humorous speech, pleading for the preser vation of Tomlinson's bridge and every othes ruinous old structure in the city in case the State House was to be retained on the same score.
 Major Maher said he had by request made an estimate of the cost of the repairs neces- sary to restore the building and make it secure and free from dampness. The whole amount came within $1O,OOO. He would guarantee that it should be made impervious to dampness for $1 1000.
 Hon. George Ii. Watrous said that to him the StaSe House had long been an eyesore. He had been vainly trying to think of some good reason why the building should be pre-

GEN. CLUSTERS DISAPPOINTMENT

"It was one night on the Rappahan-
mock. in the winter of 1868" said Capt.
HALE ton. Everybody knows the cir
cumstance of Clusters promotion to gen
eralship over officers who ranked above
him. Of course,i it created considerable leal-
ousv, and there was no end OF intriguing
against the brave young othcer,, VINO
would have been greataly admired, but
for his rapid advance, even by those who
now in their jealousy could see no bet
ter course than to oppose him Custer
was not q blind man and keenly felt the
jealous opposition brought to bear against
him. One night number of officers
were visiting at Clusters camp and lass
ING pleasant evening. While the festl-
vities were at their height and everyone
was enjoying himself, an orderly rode up
with a communication for Gen. Custer.
The general opened and read it. 1t was
an order relieving him from command of
his brigade; that was all-there being no
explanation of what was to be done with
him. Without a word Custer went to
his best horse, bridled him with his own
hands, mounted, and was away like the
wind to the felds-his long hair floating
behind him, as his horse took fences and
bitches in his masters favorite accom-
plishment. For some time he was eu-
gagged in the mad ride over fields and
streams, when another orderly rode up
to where the other officers sat looking at
and admiring the distant rider, and ask
ed for Gen. Custer. "There he is, over
in yonder field" said an aide, pointing
to the man and horse, then taking fly
ing leap. Away rode the orderly, and
finally overtaking the general, we saw
him take the paper from his pocket:
Slowly Custer read it, and then up went wen
his hat, and down he went on a mad run,
whooping like a wild Indian, directly
toward the camp. When he reached
there he threw the paper to an aide, and
in a low voice said: "Set out another
case of champagner' Then he leaped
from his horse, and retired alone to his
tent. That paper contained an order Tor
his promotion to the command OF d.
vision.'R

GARFIELD AT ELBERON.

A number of ladies who have summer
residences at Elberon have decided to
erect in St. James chapel a tablet to the
memory Of President Garfield. The or
der has been given, and it is expected
that the memorial will be in place before
the season Of resort thither opens. The
tablet is to be of polished brass engraved
and richly ornamented in colored enamels
1t will be 56x23 inches, and will occupy
the wall space facing the congregation on
the south side of the chancel The de-
sign is free treatment of the Gothic.
On each side there are conventionalized
columns, surmounted by intricate tracery.
Running almost the entire length of the
tablet is the sword of the general, about
the hilt of which is twined a laurel
wreath. In the spaces on either side of
the arch are medallions bearing represen
tations of the diverse and reverse of the
great seal of the United States, designed
by John Adams in 1882 from sugges-
ton of Sir John Prestwick, an English
antiquarY. The diverse shows the spread
eagle-the emblem of strengthening
upon its breast an escutcheon with thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and white, like
the national flag. In its right talon is an
olive branch, the emblem of peace,
and in its left are thirteen arrows, en-
blematic of the thirteen states ready for
war should it be necessary. In its beak
is ribbon with the motto ''E pluribus
Unum" Over the head of the eagle is a
golden light breaking through cloud
surrounding thirteen stars, forming a con-
stellation on a blue field The reverse
of the seal is not so common. The prin-
cipal feature is an unfinished pyramid,
emblematic of the unfinished republic,
the building Of which is still going on.
In the zenith is an all-seeing eye, sur
rounded by light, and over this eye are
the words ''Annuit Coeptis." On the
base Of the pyramid, in Roman numerals,
is the date 1776, and below this is the
motto: "Novus Ordo Seclorum." Mid
way down the tablet one On each side of
the sword blade, are two heraldic shields,
one bearing a fac smile Of the arms of
the state of Ohio, and the other that of
the arms Of the state of New Jersey.
These were furnished by the governors
of the respective states, and are, there
fore, official. The lower portion of the
tablet is devoted to the inscription, which
is in old English text, of red and black
enamel, and reads as follows:
