Norwich bulletin., 1915-12-04

The divorce question seemed to be
almost as great an issue a ham CEN
fury ago as it is today for the Nor
which Morning Bulletin of Tuesday,
Nov. 20, 1866 said: Our court report
this morning records the granting OF
another batch Of divorces, and then
went on to state that this feature OF
the court business seemed to become
more and more prominent as the years
The same week the Norwich City
Court held a special session, the first
irs some ten years. and David Young
was sworn in as court recorder. Re-
garding the presidents annual mes
sage to congress a Washington des-
patch said that no part of the forth
coming massage had received so much
care and revision as that portion
which referred to our relations with
Mexico. Extracts from the Bulletin
files of 1855 are as follows:
Call for Firemen.
Monday, Nov. 81, 1S65.-About 1880
pants of a room on the fourth floor
of the Wauregan House found the
room full of smoke. On examination
it was ascertained to proceed from
defective f1ue. when an alarm OF hre
was given and the engines quickly ar
rived on the ground. The floor of the
room was ripped up when the flames
burst forth, but they were quickly
subdued and the fire extinguished
without the assistance of the en-
gines.,
A special session of the city court,
the first that has been held in some
ten years. was held on Friday and
David Young, Esq. was sworn as re-
corder. The city attorney presented
complaints against three owners or
hacks for violation of the hack ordin-
ance and warrants issued for their ar
aefo Adjourned SATURDAY. n

Tuesday, Nov. %, 1S65.-Breed Hall
last evening was thronged with a gay
and happy crowd in attendance at the
festival of the Good Templars. The
tables were prettily arranged presid-
ed over by some of the fair damsels.
The charades and tableaux were very
well done The only improvement we
wish to suggest is that some means be
taken to stop the devilty of some small
boys, which annoyed those present
last evening.
Batch of Divorces.
Our court report this morning re-
cords the granting of another batch Of
divorces. This feature of court busi-
ness appears to be becoming more and
more prominent every year. If some
Connecticut will soon attain as bad
an eminence as Indiana in this re-
spect. A writer in the Windham
County Transcript suggests that the
clergy unanimously refuse to marry
people who have not been Scripturably
divorced. This is sensible and worthy
of consideration.
Among the returning officers of the
31st U. S. c. T. are Captain and Bre-
vet Major Charles F. Ulrich, son of
Dr. Ulrich, who formerly resided in
this city, but now of Hartford, Cap
tain George Greenman and Lieutenant
Dee LARGO Wilson, regimental quar-
termaster of this city.
Wednesday, Nov. %, 1855. = The
death of Mr.. Joseph Williams, one of
the oldest and most estimable of the
citizens of Norwich, will excite but
little surprise. For more than a year
he has been confined to his house and
room and most of that time suffering
intensely from injuries occasioned by
fall. In his death we lose one who
has been long and honorably indenti-
fed with Norwich.
Mr.. Stephen H. Norman, formerly
of Ledyard in this country. has been
recently chosen cashier of the Aquid-
neck National Bank of Newport, r. 1,
This is the largest bank in that city
and it's capital stock has been recently
increased to s25o,00O.
