 THE wErzLER CHILDREN.
 A grand concert will be given at the Atheneum Friday evening of this week and Saturday afternoon by the Wetzler children. These two children are natives of Chicago, Herman being twelve years old and Minna nine. They are veritable musical prodigies. The Cincinnati Enquirer says of them: IL may be safely written of the Wetzler chiI dren that they possess artistic talent of the highest order, and that the progress made by tkem in their short time of life is so great that nothing more could have been asked. Master Herman, in using the violin, shows a good degree of skill, and at times where he is freest from technical periIs and fears, he evinces genuine glow of the artists fire AS pianist he also exhibits nimbleness, strength and dash. Of little Miss Minna, similar praises must be recorded. She also has remarkable talent and is a s'Wunder- kindt' beyond question. They both show a gQRa training in all such matters as tone phrasing, shading and the like, and if they can be afforded to visit European Institutes of Music, they will in short time bring honor upon their country.

 Yesterday afternoon the wife of W. F. Reed, of 125 Saltonstall avenue, was reported to the town agents office as crazy. The city ambulance was sent for her and she was taken to the almshouse and placed in the women's department.

Later an attendant found the woman in half kneeling position in her cell with shawl tied about her neck and the other end tied to the door of her cell. She was cut down as soon as possible, but it was found that life was extinct. Dr. M. 0. White, the medical examiner, WAS notified and went to the almshouse and viewed the body. He notified the coroner, but an inquest was not deemed necessary. It is understood that the unfortunate woman leaves two children.

Letter From Senator H. C Nelson.
 SENATE CHAMBER,

ALBANY, N. Y., April 4. 1883.
 On the 27th of February, 1883, was ta- ken with violent pain in the region of the kidneys. I suffered such agony that could hardly stand up. As soon as possible ap- piled two Allcocks Porous Plasters, one over each kidney, and laid down. In an hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had van- ished and I was well. I wore the plasters for day or two as 8 precaution, and then removed them. have been using AIlcock's Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and best external remedy for colds strains, kinks and rheumatic affections, From my experience believe they are the best plaster in the world.

A Prominent and Venerable Boston Gen

"A Prominent and venerable Boston Gen
 tleman's Visit to New Haven Friends.
 MT. Uriel Crocker, a prominent and wealthy gentleman for many years publish or, visited friends in this city this week. Although in his 88th year he is still in excel- lent health both of body and mind and a very interesting and entertaining companion and guest. Last summer New Haven friends met him at the Profile House, Mt. Washing ton, where he was summering. He arrived here from Boston on Monday and greatly enjoyed drive with friends over East Rock Park, the beauty of the park and the splendid views obtained from it's rocks, of sea. city, harbor, woods and hills, elicitinp from him enthusiastic admiration and praise despite the fact that the Hub of the universe monopolizes so much that is artistic andlove- Iy. In the evening he was visited by ex- Governor English and other distinguished gentlemen of New Haven, and yesterday morning he left to visit New York city.
 His partner in business, another Boston gentleman of wealth, is of about the same age as MT. Crocker and is also in excellent health. They maintain the partnership the game as of yore. Their firm founded the business which when the partners retired the Appletons took up here and carried on since, gaining wealth and fame. Among the places of special interest here to Mir. Or0Cker was ahe H. H. Peck bookstore on Chapel street, Mir. Crocker recalling with interest and pleas- ure "reminiscences of his business relations with the late Mayor Henry Peck when he was conducting business at that stand. Seldom will be found two gentlemen of such ad. xnnced age SO active and in such good health end partners in business for so long a period as tho two mentioned.

Buckingham Day:

! Instructions for the Parade June 18th 1 Official Circular from the Grand Marsh aI-The Seventh Regtm ent of New York \ !. to Take Part.
 A committee from the Sev enth regiment | New York, s. N. G., composed of Captain Kipp, Adjutant Rand and Quartermaster Long of the actives and Captain Hay den of the veteran association of the ! Seventh, arrived in Hartford yesterday noon to make arrangements for the proposed trip of the Seventh regiment to Hartford on June 18th. They were received by Mayor Bulkeley, Major Kinney, Colonel Barbour and Major Rathbun. The guests were taken to MerriIIs cafe, where dinner was served. The chief aim of the committee is to secure hotel accommodation for the regiment, which will turn out over thousand men, including the veteran corps.
 Grand Marshal Kinney yesterday issued the following circular of instructions:
 HEADQUARTERS GRAND MARSHAL, BUCKINGHAM STATUE PARADE,
 HARTFORD, May goth, 1884. ECircular No. 2
 The hearty response of Union veterans throughout the State in favor of a grand parade and reunion on the occasion of the inauguration of the statue to the memory of War Governor Buckingham on June 18th makes it certain that the day will be memor- able in the annals of the State.
 Attention is asked to the following sugges- tions:
 l. Headquarter tents suitably designated will be placed on Bushnell park near the de- pot. On reaching Hartford all veterans should report immediately to their respective headquarters and register their names As speedily as possible each organization should select it's officers for the day, and transact other necessary business. Arrangements shouId be made to reach Hartford az soon after 10 o'clock as possible.
 2. To secure some uniformity in appear ance it is recommended that dark coats and trousers and black soft hats be worn. Mem- bers of the G. A. R. can wear their uniforms. No old soldier or sailor should stay away be- cause of his clothes.
 g. As far as possible the veterans of every town should come together, and if they bring music with them so much the better. Any bands or drum corps thus brought and not previously engaged should report at once to the sdjutant general at the marshaPs head quarters on the Park for assignment in the line. 4. The line of march will be short, and it is intended to have the parade dismissed as early as 2:3O o'clock. Efforts will be made by the Hartford citizens committee to fur nish every man some refreshments before the parade, but it will be Nise to guard against emergencies by means of pocket lunch. 5. Every veteran organization will be pro- vided with handsome United States flag to be carried in the line. It is expected that the famous Seventh regiment of New York will form part of the military escort. Invitations have been ex- tended to President Arthur, Generals Grant, Sheridan, Terry and others, and the parade | will probably be reviewed by the Governor 1 and the distinguished gusts of the day.
