At the first annual meeting of the
Norwich Horticultural Society held
fifty years ago, I. NJ. Buckingham was
elected president.
In the grand list of New London
County this city was listed for S19,-
97O,4S5. Political parties were getting
busy for the April elections.
Gleanings from the SO files of the
Norwich Morning Bulletin are as fol-
lows:
March IL, 1s66-The wiIlimantic
Linen Company are getting machinery
at their new thread mill, and are
pushing matters along as fast as pos
stble toward starting 1t up. They
have been delayed some months by
being obliged to take out and return
expectations.
The dust of the last three or four
days has been such a dreadful NUS
ance, people being compelled to eat
their peck full of dirt day, that ev-
cry body hailed with JOY the refresh
ing Sunday rain. The rivers are now
nearly clear of ice and our merchants
expect to have no more trouble from
this source.
In December last, Mr.. Beckwith of
this city had a coat and watch stolen
from him, as reported in the Bulletin
at that time, by a man named Chase
of whom he heard nothing until Sat
urday, when he met him looking for
a chance to go to sea from New Lon
don. AS he had on Mr.. Beckwith's
coat, Mr. Beckwith had him arrested
by the New London police and
brought to this city, where ne will
be tried today. 1t appears that he
pawned the watch at Montville for 50
and drinks and then hired out to a
man near Lakes pond for whom he
has lately been collecting money in
New London, making no rteurns
thereof.
Political Campaign Started.
March 10, 1S66.-The campaign pre-
| ceeding the April election was opened
Monday evening at Breed hall by a
| lage and enthusiastic meeting of I'm
| ion men of Norwich and a meeting OF
| the old sort, full of the earnestness
which gives promise of success. The
body of the hall was crowded to its
utmost capacity with ladies for whom
| the seats had been reserved. The
| speakers to the hall, and furnished ex-
cellent music at intervals during the
| evening.
John Chase, whose arrest for steal
! ing The coat of Mr.. Beckwith noted in
| Mondays Bulletin, was taken &c
| Montville for trial, the theft having
been committed in the limits of thai
town. 1t is rather remarkable thai
| the same day that the watch was re-
| covered from Chase, two other stoleT
| watches were recovered from othel
parties by our local police force, max
ing a total of $3.50 of such stolen pro
| perty returned to owners in one day

VOGUE OF FANCY BRAIps
Employed in Developing Handsome
Hats-Glossy Effects Liked in Straws
and Observation-Disclosures of Flowers
Seen on the Best Models.

Fancy braids for developing hats
are In high favor this season. The
same is true of glazed and glossy
braids and straws.
An attractive hat shown yesterday
was of the popular glycerine braid in
black, Its trimming a wreath of shaded
flowers. An old blue bow and band
in picot ribbon formed the remainder
of its adornment.
Java straw formed a large sailor,
also in black. The facing and crown
were of black satin, and it had solid
crown trimming of small old rose os-
trich feathers.
Metallic braid was employed in de-
veloping a mushroom shape in gray,
which for trimming had long, irregular
ears in louisine ribbon, pink sweet peas
and a gray rose being poised at the
| front.
The vogue of Georgette crepe is very
pronounced, and with good reason,
since 1T lends itself so readily to artis-
tic effects in trimming, facing and hat
| building generally.
| A model greatly admired at the
| openings was of pale pink Georgette
on the shepherdess order, which had a
| bandeau of violet ribbon and forget
me-nots. Pink crushed roses were
around the crown.
Elegance was spelled by an imported
model in black Milan hemp, with trim
ming of glazed foliage and pink roses
in pyramid effect
Combinations of flowers are greatly
| liked.
This was shown in a design of pinI
hemp, sailor shape, which had a pal,
blue Georgette top, it's striking trim.
ming being a pansy and rose aigret.
Especially admired was a pearl gray
sailor model, having blue and Whit
plating in ribbon on the brim, ant
effective gray wings on the crown.
