War news ef vital importance ar rived in the north this week fifty years ago, bringing information of the suc- cess of the Union arms in more than one section of the south where it had long been hoped that such successes would crown the Union arms.
 So much of this good news came in over Sunday, May 11th, 1S62 that The Bulletin got out a special war extra for that day, considering that 1t could hardly refrain from publishing such in pertant information from the southern battlefields.

So being flooded with inquiries about the

We did SO We do not be- lieve any truly religious man in the town for we believe patriotism to be one of the first principles. one of the cardinal elements of religion-objects to our having done so. We have heard of but one man who raised the slight est objection; we are told that he was more pleased at the result of Bull Run than of any battle since. We've no judge of religion if his helps into the Kingdom of Heaven.

TRYING TO SAVE
 NAVY YARD ON THAMES
Mayor Mahan Will Have Backing of
 New London Citizens.

Mayor Mahan and leading citizens of New London are not to allow the aban- donment of the navy yard on the Thames without fight te have it re- tained.
 The annual naval appropriation re- ported Thursday by the naval commit tee provided for the abandonment of the navy yards at New London and Sackett's Harbor, N. r. All the other ports had influence enough to keep them out of the bill, so their centinu- ance is net endangered
 Whether anyone appeared before the naval committee in behalf of retaining the New London naval station has not been learned.
 The matter will not be allowed to go by default, however. Mayor Mahan, after a conference on Thursday with several leading citizens, decided to make an earnest plea to the members of the Connecticut delegation in con- gress to prevent the passage of that part of the bill abolishing the New London yard, and other members of congress from friendly states will also be asked to lend their influence.

Nine witnesses, five of them street car

in the bribery trial of Clarence $.
barrow, to impeach the testimony Of
Frank E. Wolfe and c. O, Hawley. two
important defense witnesses. Except
for scathing cross examination OF
f.. V. owen by Attorney Rogers, the
day was devoid Of interest.
Owen, who was a member Of the
city fire commission when Hawley
was on the same board, testified that
hawley's general reputation for truth
and veracity was bad. Rogers at
tempted to show that owen and Haw-
ley had political difficulties while city
officials and that owen had been
charged with grating. The witness
Indignantly denied the assertion.
