lage at = O'Clock this afternoon, after a run
of seven hours from new London. About
two hours afferwarj, Gen. Sheridan was
brought ashore without any apparent dis
comfort, and is now in his own cottage. He
was somew hat restless last night and conse-

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July s--General
Sheridan, whose expected coming has been
the leading theme of conversation here for a
week past, arrived to-day. A large number
of strangers were attracted 10 the spot. The
Swartara passed Dumping Light and cast
| anchor at more than mile from the shore
| Just before 2 O'Clock this afternoon. As soon
as the ship was sighted the shore and land-
| ing place were thronged by curious spectators
as well as by friends of the General. After
about an hours delay several boats left the
/ Swatara for the shore. In the first boat was
/ Mrs. Sheridan and two Sisters of Charity
who have been faithful attendants upon the
General. A party of sailors was in the sec
ond boat These boats pulled to the landing
where the party landed, and the women at
once proceeded to the new cottage erected for
Gen, Sheridan.
/ CARRIED on 4 sTRErcHER.
At the same time launch belonging TO
the ship, towing boat in which was a
stretcher whereon the General rested steam
ed in toward the shore, TO the north and
nearly opposite the cottage. As the boat
came into shallow water dozen sailors
waded to il and carefully and tenderly lifted
the stretcher up and bore it to the shore.
The crowd of spectators, among whom were
several photographers. pressed forword in
the hope of getting view of the General S
features They were disappointed, however,
for large umbrella which was held over
him to shield him from the suns rays also
acted as an effectual barrier 20 curiosity
Once ashore, the sailors carried the General
up to his cottage and into his room As the
General reached the cottage lie was seen to
raise one hand, as if in greeting, and when
he reached lis room he expressed his APP
proyal with all he saw and manifested IA
wish 10 examine the rooms of the cottage in
detail-a thing impracticable.
IN COMFORTABLE QUARTERS.
Col. Miclael Sheridan, of the Generals
staff, accompanied the party from the ship
10 the shore. and was in constant attendance
on his brother. The cottage is most taste
fully decorated. Its front windows look out
over Buzzards Bay, and it is in close prox-
unity TO several other fine summer residen-
ces. The General was placed in the front
parlor. as it is the pleasantest and most con-
venient room. The cottage though spacious
has its capacity well tested The entire par
ty go to the hotel, which is only short dis
tance away, for their meals. Mrs. Sheridan
came from the cottage late in the afternoon,
evidently very happy at the successful ter
miRation of what was regarded as a very
hazardous experiment All the conditions
now seem to favor the Generals recovery,
and at no place on the neW England coast
could he be assured greater quiet
Col. Kellogg said that a bulletin giving
details of the Generals condition will proba-
bly, be issued to the press by the attending
physicians each evening at o'clock.
