A TALE OF HEROISM.

The following story of beroism is re- corded in the New Era, and is worthy of general circulation. "One of the hardest fought battles of the war was the battle of Olustee. Florida One of the regiments concerned in it was the Seventh Connecticut volunteers, all brave men and hard fighters It was in February, 1864. that the battle took place. The gallant Seventh was drawn into a hole with no reinforce ments and it was only by the hardest kind of fighting that they made their way out aud escaped falling into the hands of the Rebels. There were two young soldiers in the Union ranks who had fought nobly all through the thick est of the battle, almost side by side. As every step of ground was being contested inch by inch one of them fell, with wounds in both legs where an ugly ball had torn it's way through the flesh. For while he lay there upnoticed, while the tide of battle swept on. Then came the retreat. The other young soldier missed his companion. A nasty search revealed him lying on the damp ground welter- ing in his life's blood Right here came the crucial test which tried man. hood and friendship alike. At the young soldiers feet lay his wounded friend. On the one hand were the enemy. To tarry seemed almost certain capture and the consequent horrors, perhaps of living death at Libby or Andersonville. On the other hand was freedom, but at the expense of the life and liberty Of his dearest friend. The hesitation was but for an instant. then manhood and friendship won. Greater love hath no man than this He Imme- diately went to work to hastily bind up the bleeding mans wounds Hurr, ing comrades passed by telling him to look out for himself and leave the wounded to their fate. He did not falter As soon as possible the young soldier took the wounded man in his arms and fol loved the retreating Unionists. The load was heavy. the way was hard, Comrades said "Let him alone he'll die anyway" Their words fell upheeded A mule, which had freed itsrf from 6 wrecked sutler's wagon, was captured and the wounded man placed on his back. Thus the weary retreat sontin ued mile after mile, almost certain cap ture and possible deah starting them in the face The wounded on- had long lost control of himself and wal held in place on the mules back by hi comrade. After eighteen long miles the river and safety were reached a last. The suffering man was put or board boat and taken to Ur ion hos pital where he was nursed back to lif and strength
 The principal characters in this stor, are both ivieg to-day. They wer' young men scarcely more than boys One of them, the wounded one whom his comrade would not desert in tn, hour of pain and apparently approach iug death, is Charles E Shipman o Chester The other one who so nobl, stood by his comrade and doubles saved his life, is Henry v.

The Hartford Bridge.

The controversy between the State of Connecticut and The Berlin Iron Bridge Company was terminated on Friday. On that day the company received from tho state comptroller $27.526 in pay mont of all claims which the company has under the contract made with the beidae commission under the law of 1893 for work done and materials fur nished in and for the construction of m iron bridge across the Connecticut river 1t Hartford. This is the amount of the award made on the 7th inst. by eho commission constituted by the act of 1895. The company on the same day surrendered its contract made with tho commission appointed by Governor Morris under the act of 1893 to build g bridge at the cost of $325. GOO. The Board of Commissioners of the Connec- ticut River Bridge and Highway Dist riot slso purchased the temporary bridge for SIS. 600 of the company.
 This takes the Berlin Iron Bridge Company and its contract with the state out of tho case. The towns of South Windsor, Manchester and Glastonbury arc still refusing to comply with the act of 1895, which obliges them and the towns of Hartford and East Hartford to build the bridge, but they can no long CT resist on the ground that the act of 1895 is unconstitutional as impairine tho obligation Of contracts. One oi the counsel for one of the towns is re. ported as saying that he could not say how the new developments would -af feet his case.
