 River ct Middletown.


 River at Middletown.
 John Manser, boy eight years old, while playing in boat moored under the river bridge at Middletown yester- day afternoon, fell over the stern and sank. A playmate, who was with him, was so scared that he did not give the alarm for some time, and when the acci- dent was finally known the body had disappeared. Ii was recovered by Seth Clark and Robert O'Connor, who dragged the river for it. Young Manser was an orphan and lived with his grand parents on South street.
 George Diggins, aged 1S,of New York, and Will Haines of West Ansonia, were practicing shooting at a target in Ansonia yesterday afternoon. As the youths were about to start for home a shot from Diggins' rifle entered Haines' thigh. The bullet was extracted. The wound is very painful but not very serious. It was purely accidental. During the past six months A. c. Raymond, of New Haven, has suffered from gangrene in his left foot and leg. Yesterday Dr Russell amputated the leg below the knee, and the sufferer is now in as comfortable condition as could be expected. He is 73 years old.

 Ten o'clock this morning witnessed the breaking up of camp. Previous to that hour the tents were cleared out everything being placed in the company streets. The guy ropes were unloosened and when the signal guns were fired tho rows of white tents dropped as one. This is one of the pretticSt sights during camp week.

 The illuminations last night at the start were the most brilliant in the his tory of camp life at Mantle, Companies n and II of the Second regiment making particularly fine displays. The rain, however, which began to fall about 9 o'clock completely ruined everything in the way of decorations.

 | Two Fourth regiment boys went to | New London Tuesday, were driven about to see the sights, and after returning to camp refused to pay the cabby. Thurs day they made another trip to New Lon don and were arrested. It cost each $l5 to get out of the scrape.
 Colonel Doherty and staff, Mayor Baldwin, and many captains of com panies were present yesterday when the DEMOCRAT pigeons were liberated. It is pretty sight to see the birds soar to a great height and then suddenly take a straight line for home.
 The pigeons liberated with news for the DEMOCRAT at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, did not arrive here until after noon. The strips of paper carried by each were water-soaked showing that the feathered beauties had stopped some where to perform their ablutions. The four birds used by this paper as carriers T belong to Emil Floerring of Fl Bishop street and have been carefully trained. The Second regiments record for the week cannot be approached by any other regiment of the brigade.
 All the Waterbury officers of the Second regiment rode their own horses, which was quite an exception in camp The other officers say they have been breaking in untrained colts all week.

The popular belief is that nothing milder than the kick of a mule can dis concert a drummer who understands his business. This is fallacy and here is the proof. The other day one of the fraternity, possessed of an adamantine cheek and Penchant for playing practi- cal jokes, called at an undertaking es- tablishment in this city. The boys knew of his arrival in town and were ready for him, One of them made himself look as ghost-hke as possible and lay in a coffin. Another told the drummer that they had the body of an unknown man in the rear room, and of course the drummer wanted to see the corpse. He was conducted to the room and the lid of the coffin raised, his guide in the meantime being called to the front of the store. About this time the dead man began to show signs of life and to the horror of the travelling man heaved a deep sigh. The latter fled for his life pursued by the ghost. When the joke was explained the drummer was com pletely humbled in spirit.

A Lewiston little boy declared phil

consequences in so matter-of-fact a way
that it may make story. even If it Is
not so very funny. His mother dressed
him up in new flannel shirt and sent
him to school. The shirt irritated his
cutlcle, or. in other words he, itched.
When he came home that night he was
cross, and very cross for so small boy,
and he declared he and the shirt had
parted company forever The next
morning, as the mother prepared to dress
him for school the boy drew the line at
the shirt NO" said he, II don't
wanter wear that shirt" A brief debate
ensued, in which the boy appeared to
save formed his opinion and to have de-
clded to stick to it. The question, when
put to the house, was carried by the boy,
who would not don the shirt.
IF you will not wear it" said his
motner, Il will send you back to bed"
Back to bed he went He got no din
