Norwich bulletin., 1915-12-11

At a meeting of the board of edu- cation in this city just a half cen tury ago this week, N. H. Wittemore was chosen as principal of the Broad Allen who resigned. The supply Of Thanksgiving poultry in the local market was not as large as was ex- pected owing to the fact that the far mers held onto their birds in the hope of securing high prices. It was announced the same week that steps had been taken towards bringing the Norwich dead back home from Ander- sonville for final interment Five Norwich boys were known to have died at Andersonville and it was thought quite likely that there were others as relatives and friends were requested to notify the postmaster so that the remains might all be secured at one time. Extracts from the hleS of the Bulletin of December 1865 are as follows:
 Stolen Horse Recovered.
 Monday, Dec. 4, 1S65.-On Saturday evening MT. Edward ChappelFs horse and buggy were stolen from near the West Side depot where he had gone to wait for the West Side train. Search was made but of no avail un- til about ' a. m. Sunday, the property was found in front of George A. Pratt's residence. on the West Side where MT. Chappell formerly resided. The horse had evidently been driven nearly all night.
 J. w. Allen, who has been for many years principal of the Broadway that position, has received the ap- pointment of special agent of the Mutual Life Insurance company Of New York, and will enter upon his new duties immediately after the close of the present term of this school. The company is old and well estab- lished with assets of over $14,000,000 and the position is a very desirable one. We wish him abundant success in his new vocation.
 |, On Wednesday the winter arrange ment begins on the New London Northern railroad. The a. m. train from New London to this city and the evening train from this city to Willi- mantle and return will be discontin- ued, The morning train for Palmer will leave here at 7.50 instead of $40 o'clock, as now. This arrangement will accommodate the citizens of Nor wich better than that of last win ter.
 Congress Opened HarmoniousIy.
 Tuesday, Dec 5, 1S65.-We lay be- fore our readers this morning the pro- ceedings of the first day of session of of the 39th congress. Contrary to all the hopes of the Copperheads of the North and the half-converted rebels of the South, there was no jarring or dispute, no division or disagreement among the representatives of the dom inant party. Everything went along smoothly and pleasantly and the off, cers nominated in the Union caucus were elected in a solid Union vote.
 The glass blowers entertained quite a number of people at Breed hall last evening. The glass steam engine is a unique and beautiful piece of work. The entertainments will continue through the week. With the aid of our efficient police the managers of this entertainment are confident that no one need be afraid to attend the performances. The glass trumpet, a beautiful article, to be awarded to the fire company that sold the most tick cts, was given to Uncas Company No. 3 at the Falls.
