At the close of the American war with
Mexico prize was offered by an institute
in one of the rising settlements in the Far
West, for an essay on the war. The sue
eessful essayist certainly deserves praise
for the brevity of his production, which
was as follows: "Chapter /. Cause of
the War: Texas" "Chapter II. Result
of the War: Taxes"

PICNIC Ar wAVERLY GROVE.


An Excellent Clam Bake Prepared
For the Employees of c. Cowles &
Co. and Others.
The contractors and employees of G..
Cowles & Co. and F. G. Cannon held on
Saturday their annual picnic at Waverly
Grove, West Haven. These annual pic
MICS were instituted about thirty-fve years
ago, when those who attended formed a
society called the Munson association. The
association name is possibly not so prom
inent now as formerly, as many changes
have taken place during the last quarter
of century among the roll of employees of
the well-known firms, but notwithstand-
ing all these changes the annual picnic
has been held regularly.
At the recent picnic the clam bake, which
was excellent, was prepared by Harvey
Nicholson When the attendants were
seated at the long tables in the grove they
were served round clans, oysters, blue
fish, corn, sweet potatoes and "Murphies, I"
Holsters, etc., all of which were very nice
ly cooked. Watermelons and other re-
freshments were served in abundance.
After the big dinner the members of the
party amused themselves at base ball
games and other sports.
The affair was under the supervision of
the following committee of arrangements
A. g. Smell, Robert Galbraith, A. G. Ag-
new and Austin Franklin.
The following is partial list of those
who attended: John Kerr, Ben Munson,
Willis Mansfield, Edward Christie, Lyman
White, Charles McGilverey, Charles Kner-
niger, William Merrills, Thomas Burns,
William B. Agnew, Harry Burns, John
Behler, Robert Galbraith, Frank McGinn,
Frank Hill, George Human, Frank Smith,
Charles Conlan, Daniel Hurburt and Ed
ward Smith.
Joseph BERNARD of Amesbury, Mass,
was present. Excellent photographs were
taken of the party.

Fishing as a Means of Grace.
TErorp Eoroct onI Straor,


The false coloring which a morbid con-
dition of the physical man throws upon
men and motives binders much the prompt
and efficient discharge of professional du-
ties. A Methodist bishop who is we'll
known all over the United States is an en-
thusiastic fisherman. He says he would
have been hunter too but for being near
sighted in his youth. When his overcon-
scientious friends ask him how he can af-
ford to spend so much time on the river
bank he replies, GAS a means of grace,
sir"
Nothing can be compared to field sports
in the way of recreation. Of course the
same amount of mere physical exertion
can be easily had by artificial means, but
this is only half, perhaps less. No mind
that is trained to close and intense applica-
ton can suddenly leave off and do nothing.
While one swings the dumb bell or takes a
constitutional, the tough questioning, be
it a sermon, brief, or battle with pneu-
monia, riots in the brain, and will not
down. The only show is to give the mind
something else upon which to work. This
is most successfully done in the effort to
successfully circumvent a willy trout OF
make the most of a days shooting. The
intensity with which genuine sportsman
will focus his trained facilities on such
problems is refreshing to degree, and
| sometimes supremacy funny.
These are some of the things say TO my
friends who seem surprised to see preach
| er and a missionary put on a ducking coat
and SLOUGH hat and ''take to the woods ,
And to myself l say that if ever there was
| a position in the world which demanded a
little communing with nature from time to
| time it is the one 1 am trying to fill. Even
| if 1 thought it interfered little with my
present success in my work, which L dc
| not, should still not deny myself that
which know to be essential to my pro
| perly living the long and laborious life that

VIOLENTLY INSANE.

Charles W.LOckxood, a Well known
Dispatch Agent, is Now a Rav1ng
Maniac-To be Removed to the Mid
dletoxvn Retreat.
Charles W. Lockwood, residing at 672
State street and who has been for the past
fifteen Or twenty years we'll known dis
patch agent between this city and New
York, became violently insane yesterday
noon and was taken to the almshouse in
the ambulance pending the making out Of
the necessary papers for his admission to
the insane retreat at Middletown.
:. Mr.. Lockwood has been complaining for
the past six weeks, but nothing especial
was thought of it until Saturday last. He
came down town in the morning as was
his usual custom, but did not arrive at
home again until yesterday morning when
he was discovered wandering aimlessly
about on the Derby turnpike by two
officers and escorted by them to his home.
Yesterday morning he again went down
to look after business, his wife accompa-
nying him. On the way home he COM
menced to act very strangely and to mutter
unintelligibly to himself When he reach
ed home he went upstairs and suddenly
made rush for his wife. She screamed
and two Of the neighbors rushed in and
attempted to hold him. Although small
man, he picked one of them up and hurled
him against the side of the room. They
managed to keep him at bay, however, un-
til help arrived, and he was thrown on the
bed and held there. DR.. G.. NJ Bush came
soon after and while the men held him the
doctor bound his arms. He was very vio-
lent, however, and it took the united
strength of four men to hold him.
DR.. Bush says that he has been suffering
from nervous complaint for the past six
or seven months. Of late he is said to
have become very respondent over his bust
ness affairs, and his collapse is thought to
be directly attributable to worriment over
the state of his business.
Lockwood is thirty-six years of age and
has been in the messenger dispatch bust
ness for fifteen years. His headquarters
were at Washburne & Co.'s on Church
street and also at Brooks G Co.'s hat store
on Chapel street. He took orders from
the stores in this city and also for private
parties, and filed them in New York. He
has done business for all the principal
stores in the city. They all speak of him
as a man who attended strictly to business
and was very prompt in executing any mis-.
sions with which he was intrusted. They
all sympathize with his wife and family
which consists of two daughters.

The Wind Died Out,

William e.. Cunning, proprietor of the
Winthrop house, with two friends, hired a
sailboat for a sail to Pot island Sunday.
On the return trip the wind died out be-
fore they reached the harbor. After sew
eral hours wait an of-shore breeze sprang
up. While lacking they ran aground on
the inner breakwater. Darkness having
settled down in the meantime, they could
not find their exact location and were
forced to stay where they were all night.
At 5 o'clock yesterday, having light
enough and finding where they were, they
left the boat and made their way to Savin
Rock, from which place they rode home.
