New that the retiring superintendent

got his, the principals got together and asked for an advance of $500 in
 salaries, but they, too, considered their personal interest, and acted in
 dependently of the teachers body. That's the reason why there was talk of the formation of a teachers Tea que and demanding the wages of their own stipulation. The board has claimed that they could not advance the pay of the teachers unless the court of common council recommended and the city meeting voted the appro- priation. The council was not con- suited when a fixed sum of $1,000 a year was fixed for a faithful and efficient school official. It is not many years ago when the president of the board stated plainly in open city meeting, that money for school purposes could be expended at will by the board and that the city was ob- liged to furnish the required cash
 There are some who do not know it all who believe that the board has just as much right to advance all the wages of the school teachers, inde- pendent of council action as they have to create an unnecessary office and fix a substantial salary for the same.

William Brainerd Coit, lawyer, bank president and before donrinq the CT, mine, active in politics, having repre- sented his native city in the lower branch of the legislature and his dis trict in the state senate, is the judge or the city and police court of New London. He has filled the bench of that court for several years and soci- etY has been well safeguarded. He 1as served to the best of his ability and he surely has real ability. JJnfor- tunately the judge is full of vision but he is remarkably keen in the careful .nvestieation of all cases brought be- fore him. He is liable to say and dc things that are not always pleasing to the arTesting officers or the caDtain acting captain, or the recognized head of the police department In conse- duence there is among the police a feeling that the judge does not stand pack of the police, but rather condemns some things that they do while in line of duty. Some policemen in that re- gard are like some newsgatharers These police officers believe that every arrest made should result in the Dun- ishment of the accused, regardless of the decision of the man on the bench There are some newsgatherers who place their judement above that c.f the man at the desk, and kick because every line they write is not printed lust as written. In this respect the police and the newsgatherer are both 1 wrong. The policeman did his duty when he made the arrest and the Hewsgather concluded his duty when

 At once. recruiting offices were open ed in Norwich by some of those who had served in the three months cam paign; and every effort was made by citizens and former soldiers to have Norwich well represented in the new regiments.
 The Sixth Regiment received a Company recruited mainly in Wind ham County by Captain William G Ely, of Norwich, who was appointed lertenant colonel, succeeding Ed ward Harland, who was soon trans ferred to the command of the Eigh- teenth. The quartermaster and twelve Germans were from Norwich.
 Alfred P. Rockwell was appointed, in June, 1864 to the colonelcy vacated by the death of Colonel Chatfeld. MT. Rockwell had previously served as Captain Of the First Light Battery, c. V, and had been stationed on James Island and other parts of the Caro- lima coast, cooperating in the siege of Charleston.
 To the Seventh Regiment Norwich sent out one company, under Captain John B. Dennis, who had served three months in the Massachusetts Sixth This was the first regular company of three years men that had gone forth from this city proceeding to New Haven as it's appointed place o1 | rendezvous.

Later, some disagree ment as to the regiments arms and the appointment of subalterns led to the revokins of Colonel Colts com mission, and the entire regiment was abandoned.

While Mir. Jennings has technically retired, as a matter of fact he has not. The board of school visitors by some self constituted authority created a new office named it advisor to the board appointed MT. Jennings to the place and fixed the salary at $1,000 year. Not so bad. The duties of ad
 wiser have not been defined, but he surely cannot advise the board only when the members are in session. The board meets regularly perhaps ten times a year and therefore, in ad
 dition to his retired pay MT. Jennings gets s1O0 for attending each meeting of the board of school visitors. The time was when the board objected to MT. Jennings, as supervisor inter- fering in any way with the business of the board and now he is asked to advise the members just what they ought to do and ought not to do. There are some in New London who sometimes think that the present board of school visitors need an ad- wiser, and after all the s1000 to be paid MT. Jennings may be public money well ,a1tpended, especially if it brings results. But, while in a generous vein the school visitors ough not to hesitate in giving the great body of teachers living wage.

6snecial to The Rulletin.l

New London, May H.-This corre- spondence of last Saturday was hard ly ready for print, in which reference was made to the appeal of the school teachers for living wage in these times of high cost of living, when out came the announcement that Charles B. Jennings had resigned as super visor of schools, had retired and been placed on the pension list privileged to receive $1, 300 a year, or S250 a year more than would probably be ac- corded any other teacher in New Lon don under like circumstances. It is understood that when teacher is en- titled to longevity pension that it is based on the salary received during five year period before retirement. Mir. Jennings received $2,500 a year for seven years, and the pay was ad- vanced to $3,000 less than two years ago. There is no disposition on the part of any taxpayer to criticize this action, ans it was probably deserved by the retiring pedagogue. He claims that he has served the school depart ment for the past fifty-two years and is therefore perhaps entitled to special consideration in the matter of re- tired pay.
