It Will Take Part in the Funeral
 Procession-The Doings at the
 Omcerss Meeting Last Night.
 A special meeting of the board of officers of the Second regiment was held last evening to decide on final preparations for the going to New York of the regiment one week from to-day to attend the funeral of General Grant. All of the ten companies had de- cided to go but two, and they were willing to go if the assessment was not over 1.50 per man. Colonel Leavenworth said that the cheapest rate of transportation they could get was on the steamer Elm City at $1.25 per man.
 Captain Embler then said that as the companies were going to New York as reg iment and not as any one company or divis- ion, that each man in the regiment ought to be assessed the same amount, and not have the city companies to pay $1.25 per man and the companies coming from out of town pay $2 or $3 per man, but all men should be as- sessed at uniform figure; this also would help pay for the transportation of the out of town companies.
 Captain Sucher objected to this and said that his company did not want to pay fol the transportation of out of town companies and would not go if they were assessed over $1 50 per man. A lively discussion was then carried on for nearly an hour by the officers of the different companies present and finally a vote was passed on motion of Captain Treat, of Wallingford, to assess each man of the regiment $1.5O as regiment and the band to be paid for, each company pay ing an equal amount extra for that purpose. It was voted to hire the Wallingford band of twenty-five pieces at $154.
 Lieutenants Jackson and Dillenbeck were appointed committee to perfect and systematize matters in regard to the boat and to provide a lunch on board the steamer for the officers.
 Voted, To have the board of officers pay the expenses of this committee and the cost of the lunch Colonel Leavenworth was then appointed to look after securing the band.
 The companies will leave on the boat Fri day night at 12 o'clock, wearing white pants and helmets and carrying their knapsacks and blankets. The latter will be left on the boat during Saturday. On the arrival of the boat in New York the men will get break fast down town somewhere, and after the march will take the elevated road at Second avenue down to 22nd street, from which place the boat will leave to return.

Rebellion In south NorwaIk.

Although the eight members of the Sal vation army in South Norwalk were put un- der $1O0 bonds each by Justice Dudley P. Ely the other day, they declare their inten- ton to parade again whether the city ordi- nance permits it or not They threaten to come out in full force tonight. May or Taylor says the city has no intention of depriving the army of any right or privilege properly belonging to it, but that as good citizens hold such noises as the army make, and it's practices generally, tend to disturb the peace and are sort of nuisance, the or dinance was framed and adopted and will be rigidly enforced. His honor tacitly con- veys the idea that the higher power which the army fall back on is very good so far as it goes, but that the "powers that be- have claims which it shall be his duty to see re- gpected.

1t Will Re Erected In Time For
 General Grants Funeral.
 There was not quorum of the Committee on Squares last evening so that nothing could be done with the petiti ,ns for the res toration of the flagstaff on the Green. It was finally decided to report back the peti- tions to the Common Council without recommendation. This will bring the peti- tions before the Board of Aldermen again next Monday evening and it is possible that favorable action may be taken so that the pole may be in position before the day of General Grants funeral.
 A gentleman of truth and veracity and well posted as to what is going on about town said to COURIER representative last evening that the flagstaff would surely be in position before the day of General Grants funeral. -'Why," said he, Git is already in the works and will be set up az soon as fin ished. It will be paid for by private indi- viduals and if the city don't want to refund the amount, why these patriotic gentlemen will shoulder the loss Or if they insist that they don't want it anyway, they can take it down again; but it will be raised sure, and, |, surmounted by it's golden liberty cap, will be an attraction that the city fathers will be slow to demolish in my opinion"

Goddess of Liberty Council Meditates
 New Departure.
 Last evening at regular meeting of God dess of Liberty council No. 8, D. of L., Sis ter A. N. Mack, national associate counselor, of Meriden, addressed large gathering of the order. Originally the council was sort of side issue to the United American Me, chanics, and even up to the present time no male members are admitted unless they have previously passed through that order. The new movement, however, contemplates the severance of all connection with other secret organizations and giving all Goddess of Lib erty councils entire independence and per feet freedom in all matters of business, with a charter and with the privilege of taking members from any other order if they choose. At present the subject is being agi- tated throughout the United States. The council in New Haven is one of the most fiourishing bodies in the city and their ex- cursion to Glen Island August 4th bids fair to be one of the largest of the season.

A Colony of Seventy Pigs-A Tour of
 Investigation.

A Colony of Seventy Pigs-A Tour of IRvestigation.
 Health Officer Lindsley, of this city, in his visit to Bridgeport Thursday, when he made sanitary investigation there, was accompa- nied by Selectmen Strong, Weber, Shelton and Lee, Judge Slade, Health Officer Fitz- gibbon, all of that city, and representatives of the city papers. He inspected the several sheets of W ater in the town owned by the Bridgeport Hydraulic company and ether places. Island Brook pond or reservoir near the Newtown turnpike was found to be free from scum, but pig yard near the pond with seventy pigs in it was scrutinized se- verely. The pigs have quarter of an acre of ground near the pond to roam over, and marks of their feet were found in profusion near the ponds edge. This pond drinking water. The party next drove to Fairchild's paper mill at Trumbull, where it was found that all the refuse from the vats and other portions of the premises was allowed to run into the pond known as Bunnell's pond, from which the Water com pany pump portion of their supply to the distributing reservoir. This refuge is large ly lime water and dirty water in which rags are washed while being prepared for use.
 The next point of interest was the render ing establishment of Plumb & Winton Here little objectionable was found. Dr. Linds- lev was of the opinion that suitable sewer was the only means of disposing of the trouble, and that is just what the firm de- sire. The matter will be brought to the at tention of the council at their next meeting.
 Before Dr. Lindsley's departure he gave his views upon the pollution of Bridgeport's o;t Ha laid aspacia1 stress non ha piggery as one of the principal causes. To that he ascribed the presence of the animal matter found in the water by Dr. Wolff, of Hartford The Bridgeport Selectmen have endeavored to induce the owners of the pig pen to remove it from it's present site to another, but he is obdurate, refusing to do so for less than $500.
 While on this subject it may be stated that frequent analysis of New Ravens city water supply both from Whitneyville Lake and Saltonstall Lake show that it ranks among the purest and best
