They Will be Unvgiic,. ... Antietam in Oct. |.
 Committees from the Eighth, Elev- enth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth regi- nents. Connecticut Volunteers, have had another meeting at Hartford to decide upon a time for the unveiling of the four monuments on the battle field of Antietam. General John B. C!app of Hartford was chairman of the meeting and J. c. Broatch of Middle town was secretary The regiments had previously voted to have the un- yelling on September 1T, the anniver- sary of the battle but many members of the regiment objected to having it on that day, as it would conflict with the annual reunions of the regiments. An expression was called for from the different regiments.
 Henry Chapin of Monson, Mass, spoke for the Eighth regiment, Peter W. Amber of Danbury for the Elev- enth, J. W. Knowlton of Bridgeport for the Fourteenth and Colonel Frank w. Cheney of South Manchester for the Sixteenth. The sentiment was that the unveiling should be held on a later day than September 17, 50 as not to
 interfere with the annual reunions. It was finally voted that the unveiling of the monuments be held during the week beginning October z, and it was decided that the party leave New York at noon on October 8. General John B. Clapp and William H. Lockwood of Hartford Isaac Williams of Meriden, Christian Quien of Danbury and J. C.
 Broatch of Mddletown were appointed committee to make arrangements for the trip and to decide upon the day for the monuments to be unveiled. J. W. knowlton was appointed committee to arrange the literary program.
 Representatives of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads were present explaining the advantages each road offered for the party, but no arrangement was made with either representative. It is expected that $50 will go on the excursion, and the party intend visiting Washington and the battlefield around Antietam. The trip will occupy about a week, but the tickets will be limited to ten days.

A large proportion of the towns ana probate districts have filed an impress If their respective seals in the state seerelary's office on the blanks pfoVid- ed by Secretary Phelan, The greater number are of the usual type, circular with the name of the town or probate district and the word Seal" But many have some characteristic feature in n design Of greater or less value as work of art and significance. The Hartford Courant says;
 "rhe town Of Ansonia has a profile of Anson Greene Phelps. who pfaeti' eally established the great tin and copper manufacturing industry in that town. Greenwich has il design repre- senting Putnam doing his great act Of riding down the steep steps. New Lon don shows the old town hall built in l7si, The center piece Of Windham's seal is Il whopping big bull frog. sup posed to be il life-like representation of one Of the original croakers which aroused the white settlers and prevent cd their massacre by the Indians. Bridgeport's town seal shows n pensiye madden sitting on rock, supposedly in the vicinity of Seaside park. weigh Ing out Justice, or possibly fish. in pair of old-fashioned scales
 The probate districts have some unique designs in seals. Pennington shows an angel with large outstretched wings surrounded by stars. The dis trict of Litchheld has large monu- mcnt in the center with an empty hour glass on top and flanked on either side by cmmp of bull-rushes. New Mill ford's distinctive feature Is figure of Madam Justice evidently modelled after the historic figure which surmounts the city hall. Salisbury's seal shows a large weeping willow tree. The seal of the district of Torrington Is a monu- ment in the form of q pyramid resting on square block. The district of Washington has used for many years a seal showing a tombstone with weeping willow waving it's slender branches over 1t.
