from the columns of the newspaper: "Well,
we have struck our final blow for liberty and

THE MAYORS NEW MOVE.
During the two weeks that he has spent at
Watch Hill Mayor Buckley has evidently
made a thorough canvass of the towns
around New London At any rate his honor
has tired of Watch Hill and will to-day move
to Fenwick. This popular resort is in Mid
dlesex county, and there good many
towns in the neighborhood that will prove
attractive. He can step up to Haddam and
see Mr.. Clark in less than an hour, and can
| reach other places Just as conveniently
After ''doing" Fenwick and it's surroundings
the Mayor will probably visit the other sea-
side resorts in New Haven and Fairfield coun-
ties.-Hartford Telegram.
| A CONNECTICUT VESSEL SUNK.
The schooner Uncle Joe, hailine from
Portland and we'll known on the Connecticut
| river, sank Saturday morning off Sands
| Point, N. Y, in about fifteen feet of water.
| The schooner belongs to the Brainard stone
| quarries, but was formerly owned in Hart
| ford. The heavy squall of Friday night
| struck her when she was of Sands Point and
| she ran into the bay for a harbor She is an
cid vessel and leaks badly and the strain
| upon her caused her seams to open SO that
| the pumps could not keep her free. She
| made water fast, and when the tide rose in
| the morning she refused to rise with it,
| Captain Sutherland determined to abandon
| her. With his mate, Richard Buel, and Jack
| Sullivan, the cook, he took the yawl, into
which were put the clothing of the trio
| some provisions and various odds and ends,
and the party rewed to the shore.
