Connecticut Tobacco Loss.
Fpv .oia1ranh 20 tha Disnatrh1

HARrFoRD. CovN.. July 1a.-The c~yclonic
storm accompanied by hail. which passed
over this CITY last evening made terrible
havoc with the tobacco crop in the town
OF East Hartford. the largest tobacco
growing district in the Connecticut
Valley. The forward tobacco crop is
entirely ruined. and whole fields OF
plants. which before the storm were
looking exceedingly well and promised
large returns, are only worth ploughing
under as fertilizer to-day. The damage IN
this section Is adjacent 10 the town of
Fast Hartford, scarcely spreading to the
north or south Of that town. There were
about two hundred acres Of tobacco under
cultivation. and the total loss will exceed
800, 900. and may be much greater. 1t ls
a serious blow 10 the tobacco farmers.

EXAMINATION OF OFF1cERs.

The examination Of officers Of the First
and Second regiments, now IN progress at
Camp Bogart, Is IN accordance with the
requirements of the new regulations. 1t
is indeed strange that the State has not
before had such q system. but the rule Of
personal selection IN the matter OF cleo
tons has always prevailed, with no cx-
animation 10 show fitness. As a result
there were necessarily a good many in
competent officers.
