No More OF Them.

General Smith, on consultation with the
field and line officers of the Second regiment,
decided to veto the holding of any more ten
cent dances at the State armory on Meadow
street, both for moral reasons and the incon-
venience and hindrance they have caused to
the regular and necessary work of the mill
tia So no more dime dances will be held
there A number of our citizens who have
strongly questioned the propriety of these
affairs being held in a State building express
their hearty appreciation of the change Or
dered. Of course, the different commands
will hold their grand annual balls as usual.

THE VOTE IN NEW HAVEN

ON the Constitutional Amendment
Yesterday-Nearly One Hundred Ma
JOr1ty For 1t.
The only vote in this city yesterday was
on the constitutional amendment making the
term of sheriffs four years instead of three
an now. As will be seen the vote was a very
light one. The return for the Twelfth ward
was imperfect from the fact that while it
stated that 80 votes were in the box it did
not show how many were in favor or how
many opposed to the amendment. Later
the returns vera corrected. Following is the
vote by wards:
First ward-Yes %, No 4; Second ward
Yes II, No IS; Third ward-Yes IA, No 80;
Fourth ward-Yes II, No "A; Fifth ward
Yes 80, No z; Sixth ward-7es IS, No 7;

Deputy Marshal Lovejoy went to Fairfield

Fairfield known as Greenfield Hill. The firm

when the package or cask is emptied the
stamp shall be at once defaced or destroyed,

sold without the tax being paid. This is
very necessary precautionary measure on the
part of the government; otherwise it would
be defrauded out of very large amounts of
revenue tax on distilled spirits. In this case
the parties clefm that it was an oversight on
their part, and that they had no intention to

A Haunted House.

From the Nessapan tGG.) Ad0srtiser.
For the past few days there has been
considerable excitement among those in
the secret about the mysterious spirit
manifestations in and about an old vacant
house in the suburban parts of the city.
For some time strange noises have been
heard at different times of the night, re-
sembling cries Of a woman, the appeals
of child in distress, the
dragging of chains and the,
heavy footsteps of a man, with occasional
flashes of red and blue light through
the crack OF the logs. We understand
that during the war several men and
women mYsteriouslv made their disap-
pearance in the vicinity Of this old build
ing, and the impression is that these
strange apparitiOns are nothing more nor
less than the ghosts OF the dead who were
cruelty dealt with in the dark days of the
war.
A great many people, both ignorant and
intelligent, have always believed and still
believe that ghosts inhabit old dilapidated
buildings, and there are those who claim
the power Of seeing them when others can
not. One man, more brave than his neigh
bOrs, tells us that ne has for the past week
seen the form OF a man. apparently about
six feet high, With high cheek bones. long
hair and teeth, walking in this building
over the floor heavy chain
which makes a hideous noise. De-
string TO see whether it was a ghost
or a live man, he walked up to the end of
the house by the chimney and peeped
through the opening. What he saw
would make the blood CONCEAL and the
hair stand on ends. lie says the ghost
was wrapped in a torn sheet, his arms
and breast were bare. his eyes looked like
fire and y white and blush blaze run out
of bis mouth reaching TO the floor. In his
right hand he held a little child, whose
face revealed the traces OF the seYerest tor
ture, and in his left hand was the head ola
woman. On the floor sat two women with
hair falling down over their bare shoulders
with a Ratchet in their hands chOpping
what seemed 10 be the skull of an infant.
In the corner sat an old negro tied TO the
floor with a rope, his eyes sunk In and his
legs cut of just below the knees. While
he was watching this strange and mystic
scene a strain Of soft yet sad music seemed
10 come up through the floor, accompanied
by the sObs of an old woman. When the
music ceased the ropes dropped from the
old man IN the corner, the chains became
Embossed from the ghost in the centre Of
the room and in an instant they all van
ished into air.

TOUCH AND co.
A GuanO Warehouse In Great Danger
Isit n Dynamite Fiend?
FroMl e a 1871 LGa.l w.

From shs A a0Nstd tGd.) Hsaos.
1t will be remembered that several
weeks ago the city powder magazine was
burglarized and considerable amount OF
powder in kegs and cans and several coils
of fuse were extracted. After close
search nothing was discovered which
could lead to the identity Of the thieves.
On yesterday, as a drayman for j. o.
Mathewson a. Co. was out at their guano
warehouse, near the magazine aud chem
lcal works, in looking about the premises,
he discovered located on an under sill
two 6-pound cans of powder and two
coils of fuse. Near the powder
were the remains OF charTed aud
partly burnt rag OF a guano sack. The
fuse had not been uncOiled or attached to
the powder, the cans being as securely
stopped as ever. This condition OF affairs,
when found, leads to the belief that the
burglars of the powder magazine carried
the twOcans and the fuse TO the warehouse
near by for eoncealment and had never
returned for it. 1t is hardly tenable to
presume that any explosion was premed-
itated, or the fuse and powder would have
been connected in some way.
But the presence of the partly burnt
piece OF gunny bag near the cans of pow
der is accounted for on the hypothesis
that the thief, in eOncealing mis- stolen
goods, lighted the rag in order to better
understand the location, and thai IL had
become extinguished and left where it
was found. No very great Importance is
attached to the mystery by Messrs.
MatheWson a. Co.

FLoRIDA's RECLAIMED LAND.
The Region for small Farmers.

The Region for SmaII Farmers.
Editor KcC5ure's Letter IN Philadelphia Times.
The reclaimed land Of the Southern
lake region of Florida is not all sugar
land. 1t presents every variety Of soil
and growth common to the climate. Back
OF the waters and rich bottom lands, what
are called the hummocks, are abundant;
the higher lands which are timbered with
hard or soft woods according to the quail
ity of soil. The live oak, hickory, birch,
sweet bay, palmetto, mangrOYe and mas
tic are common; large bodies of cypress
are within range of the new transpOrta-
ton just opened, aud the pine lands are
adapted TO the orange grove. The chief
advantage of this section of Florida is
In the almost tropical climate, that eX-
empts the fruit and vegetable crops from
trosts when about Jacksonville and even
farther south there is widespread destruc-
ton. From three to four crops can be
grown each year, and there Is no need Of
more than a single mule TO pillow to
proper depth, as there is no sod and no
baking of the earth. Cotton, corn, sugar,
tobacco, rice, potatoes and very nutritious
grasses for stock can be grown in the re-
claimed lands, and the upland or hum
mock lands are the best of the continent
tor the orange grove excepting the Indian
river country that is just east of
the lake region on the Atlantic
years earlier there than on the
st. johns because of the more genial eli
mate, and other crops are FASTENED in
proportion. Strawberries can be gath
cred the same year they are planted; figs
bear in two years from cuttings; grapes
bear the second year, peaches the second
or third year, and oranges in four years
from the bud. In ten years from this
time the reclaimed lake lands will pre-
sent the richest and most productive and
prosperous settlement OF Florida, unless
all present experience and indications
are at fault; and if its Opportuni-
ties were properly understood by
the large class of small farmers
of the North who labor hard and unceas-
ingly to gam only scant food and raiment,
with little enjoyment, there would be
sudden influx of new settlers. Why our
young men who seek to gain farms in the
w est by patient industry and severe econ
omy should risk the uncertainties of
crops and be content with the slow adj
Vancement they can make there at best,
when they can have cheaper lands, more
easily cultivated lands, more accessible
lands, greatly more productive lands,
vastly more certainty in crops, with per-
petual summer and less extreme of heat
tnan there Is IN Iowa or Kansas, can
be explained only by the want OF
general knowledge of the opportunities
offered in Florida. / believe. as Gen.
Grant expressed it, that "Florida to-day
affords the best opening in the world for
young men of small means and great in
dustry." Any intelligent man who
comes and sees for himself will reach the
same conclusion and the most inviting
part of Florida for men VINO come to
make their homes here and get the best
results OF their own industry, is the large
section now partially and soon to be COM
pletely reclaimed in the Southern lake re-
QiOu,
