masked men effected an entrance to the
postofice early this morning, locked the

The First to Enlist.

The Norwalk Gazette copies from the
Bridgeport News an item stating:
Colonel Horne was not the first man to enlist
from Connecticut, that honor being borne by
Joseph r. Hawley of Hartford, now U. s. sena-

The Gazette thereupon states: '.If we
are not greatly mistaken the senior of the
Gazette was the first Connecticut man to
enlist in the late war. Being in Washing
enlist in the Cassius NJ Clay battalion, and
then induced the late General Ferry and
Hon. John Woodruff to do likewise, both
of whom had just ended their terms in the
congress which expired March 4, 1851 But
this is not of 80 grave consequence as who
was the youngest infant to enlistl Nor.
