 Governor Jarvis and wife, of North Caro- lima, are in the city, guests of ex-Governor and Mrs. Bigelow, and Mrs. Jackson, widow of General Thomas T. Jackson, the "Stone- wall Jackson" of the late war, and daughter are here also, guests of General and Mrs. B. $. Greeley on Trumbull street. The dis tinguished visitors attended divine service at the Church of the Redeemer yesterday fore noon and in the afternoon attended service at Center church. General Jarvis and wife and Mrs. StonewalI Jackson and daughter will visit various places of interest here as detailed below. They are on Q visit North which includes number of noted points of interest, winding up with a trip to Niagara Falls and thence back South. The visit was chiefly suggested owing to the fact that the State of North Carolina is much interested over the exhibit from that State at the great exhibition at Boston, the success of which has been greatly promoted by Governor Jarvis, he taking lively interest in having the pro- ductions of the State well represented, and North Carolinas exhibit is fine one and one of the most note worthy in the exhibition. Governor Jarvis and wife and Mrs. Jackson and daugh- ter have been in Boston for week past hay ing been feted there and shown every atten- tion due their eminent social position and influence. We found Governor Jervis fine looking, vigorous, well built gentleman, of six feet two, courteous and genial, whose hand shake was of the whole hearted kind He expressed himself charmed and delighted with what he had seen of New England, it's homes and it's people, it's churches and it's schools. He anticipated great additional pleasure from his New Haven visit, the seat of so noted university as Yale college and of so large manufacturing interest both of which his host and hostess had arranged for him to see considerable of during the stay here. Governor Jarvis, as stated, has a deep interest in his State's exhibit He has now been Governor of his State five or six years by successive elections and was previously lieutenant governor. He is A lawyer by pro- fession- Mrs. Jarvis is tall, stately, grace full lady of much refinement. Governor Jarvis was in the late war and bears lasting marks of wars deadly fray in a shattered arm. His left arm and shoulder blade were so badly injured by bullet that part of the shoulder blade had to be removed, leaving the arm mainly dependent on the muscles The visitors will be most highly entertained by theic friends with whom they are stop ping.
 Mrs. Jackson is dark ed lady of much refinement and culture, prepossessing and winning. She spoke to the writer of her trip North with evident pleasure. It was not her first trip. She had visited New Eng land before, shortly after her marriage. This was her first visit to New Haven. She went to the western part of Massachusetts on her first visit North, and had pleasant rec ollections of Northampton, Mass, among other many pleasant recollections of those days. Her birthplace is Charlotte, N. 0 , and here she had resided till her marriage Of late years she divided her time between Richmond, Va, and Charlotte. Near the latter town resides her aged father, now S5, of whom she tenderly spoke. Her heart was warmly attached to North Carolina, and she spoke with interest and warmth of it's high mountains, among them Mitchell Mt, of it's mineral and agricultural productions, its forests, it's wild flowers and the old home. She paid tribute to Governor Jarvis for his ability, worth and value to the State and to l the commissioner of agriculture, MT. McGee a Harvard man, who had also done much to promote North Carolina's representation at | the Boston exhibition. She with daughter had spent part of the summer with Gov ernor Jarvis and lady at Morehead, N. o., one of the most fashionable watering places in that part of the South. She anticipated much pleasure from visiting Yale and the Farnam drive at East Rock and other scenes which her host and hostess were to show her, and was much interested in an account she heard of the Yale students rush on the previous evening on Orange street. She said New Haven was 8 beautiful city in- deed and admired the home like look of the city, it's many residences with ample space about them and the quiet mingled with the activities of city life Her heart warmed toward the country and the scenes and "reminiscences of quiet country homes in 8 busy city were very pleasant.
 An interesting circumstance was narrated by General Greeley. In conversation with Governor Jarvis he learned that they were in many battles together on the different sides, and on taking inventory found that they were fighting against each other at Roanoke Isl and, General Greeley being in the 10th 0. V. in these conaicts and Governor Jarvis, who was then captain, being captured in that fght), again at the fight at Goldsborough, again at the siege of Charleston, again at Fort Wagner battle and again during one of the Virginia campaigns, at Bermuda Front, Deep Bottom and Petersburg. The siege of Wagner was four months in duration and all that time they were fighting under the op. posing flags.
 To-day's programme is: In the morning the visitors will be driven over East Rock Park, at about 1915 noon they win visit the High school, of which General GreeIey's daughter Jennie, aged 16 is a member (the latter escorting the daughter of Stonewall Jackson, who is her elder by few summers, ) and in the afternoon by invitation of Donald G. Mitchell 'tmy farm at Edgewood' will be visited. Later drive to the West Haven shore will be taken.
