It was back In the old days before the Civil war
that the mddies used to cruise around on Chesa-

war the middies got their practice or Union ships
searching for Confederate privateers. One of the
later practice ships the famous old sailing

Civil the mddies got their practice on almost

TETREAuLTs DIVORCED
West Thompson Woman Receives De- eree-Married After 4s Hour Court

At the session of the Superior court at Willimantic on Tuesday, a divorce was granted to Ethelyn Lenore Te. treault of West Thompson from Dewey Tetreault of Putnam. Court fixed alimony at Sl5 a week and gave custody of the infant daughter, Pa. tricia, to Mrs. Tetreault
 The Tetreaults came into promi. hence a little more than q year ago when they were married after a IS hour courtship. At that time Mrs Tetreault worked in a Front stree; bakery and Mir. Tetreault was em. rioyed in a restaurant, next door to the bakery. There was the first meet. ing, when she groom served the bride breakfast; then followed the whirl- wind eourtship, the overcoming of parental objection and then the quiet marriage.
 Not so long afterward the Te. treaults separated and later the wife had the husband arrested for non support. Court ordered the husband to support his wife and he fIatly re- fused. In view of his attitude, he was taken to jail. He did not re- main there long, however, when he relented and upon his promise to com ply with the court order, he was re- leased
 The divorce proceedings were start. ed soon afterward and now the Su- perior court has written the last chap ter in one of the most spectacular TO- manees in Putnam in a long time.
