Particular. ‘Thursday, the anniversary of the election of J Darin 4o saes: ident of the te states, will be a reminder of more than usual in- terest to ome resident of whis city. Braxton Terry, of & eecond- hand store on ‘Water street, who is the last to survive of the servants wio waited on the president of the Con- federacy at Richmond. Up to about a dozen Years ago, Ellen Green, another of the servants, was living on Long Island, but when she passes away it left Mr. Terry as the last link to the retainers who served during the war at the capital of the Confederacy. Not a Stave. In reminiscence of that period, frem which he treasures interesting souvenirs, Mr. Terry said recently that when Jefferson Davis came to Rich mond to take up the duties of the pres- idency of the Confederate states he brought with him from his home in Missiasippi four slaves who were to be his personal attendants, but as the work at the capital required more help this was how he came to get a_place to work for President Davis. Young ‘Terry was not a slave, hia father hav- ing sained his freedom in 1840, and en e Con rate capital was es- tablished at Richmond young Terry was a lad of about 15, working as a huckster on the James river, also work- ing in a market in Richmond and selling papers, one of them heing the Richmond Whig. President Davis was a patron at the market, where -he was attracted by Terry, and e jed him to wait on him at the capitol. One of the peculiarities which Mr. Terry remembers about President Davis was that he was & stickler for farm eggs and_ always bought them by weight. President Davis came to market with hie stew- ard, who had to see that the eggs weighed up to the standard or they were rejected for the Davis household Fine Man to Wérk For. . As an employer or a master, Mr. Terry remembers President Davis as 2 file man to work for, always kind to his slaves or his other servants, and showing none of the contemptible char- acteristics with which his enemles la- beled him at the time. In his service at the eapitol young Terry saw practi- cally all the great leaders of the Con- federacy, Johnson, Lee, and a long list of others. Many Experiences in War. Both before and during the war, Mr. Terry was in the midst of many ex- TEAM BACKED OVER EMBANKMENT AT THAMESVILLE Rolled Down Clark Bank to Railroad Track—Driver and Horse Not Badly Hurt. Eugene Leclair of Taftville had a narrow escape from a serious acei- dent on Monday when the horse which he was driving backed over the edge of the high embankment known as Clark’s bank below the foundry on West Thames street. Horse, team and driver were rolled down the steep in- cline onto the railroad tracks. Le- clair was thrown away from the team 80 escaped with slight cuts about the head and various bruises. The horse was only scratched but the team and harness wete badly damaged. Le- clair is employed by Philip Belval of Taftville and was dumping & load of dirt when the horse began to back and was unable to hold the heavy team when it once started down hill REV. D. B. MacLANE SPEAKS ON HOME AND CHILDHOOD. Object of Woman's Unity Socisty Be- fore Which Address Was Given. The Rev. Donald B. MacLane ad- dressed the Woman's Unity soclety in the Sunday school rooms of the Second Congregational church on Tuesday evening with the interesting subject, “Home and Childhood.” The meeting opened at eight o'clock with a hymn followed by a prayer of- fered by the Rev. Mr. MacLane. Mrs. Charles Plerce then rendered a solo in_her usual pleasing voice. Following this, Dr. Lucille James in- troduced the speaker of the evening, the Rev. Donald B. MacLane, Who said he wished his audience to under- stand that he was to deliver no ser- mon but to make an address. Hold- ing this in mind he chose his text, not from the Bible, but from Mother Goose. The subject of Mr. Mac- Lane's discourse was, “This is the House That Jack Buiit” He took up his theme in an interesting manner, going through the various rooms in Jack's house from cellar to chamber, and cleverly applying to each an ap- propriate moral synonymic meaning. Mr, MacLane's address laid forth the ideals and truths that go to make up a model home. His talk was very in- teresting and was duly appreciated. Following his lecture Mr. MacLane favored all with a violin solo, which he executed with consummate skill. Then Dr. Lucille James, of the Wom- an’s Unity soclety, explained that the object of the organization was the promotion of better child culture, that a course, extending over about two is holding meetings bimonthly. The course covers the care of the mother and child from the prenatal state up to the age of sixteen. Dr. James fur- ther stated that a library of purity literature is to be established soon because our local libraries carry no literature of that class whatever. The books will be let out at small cost and a reading room will be placed at the disposal of the public. Mrs. Charles Pierce Brown's Body,” and all enthusiasti- cally joined in the chorus. The meel ing closed with the benediction pro- nounced by the Rev. Mr. MacLane. Fort Trumbull Reservation. (Special to The Bulletin.) Waghington, Feb. 7.—The house yes- y afternoon, by unanimous cor , agreed to awvthorize the transfer of the Fort Trumbull reservation, near New London, from the war department to the revenue cutter service.

Johnson, the man who raised young Terry, was in the Confederate army and was captured when he was home on a furlough in *65. Johnson was eat- ing a ebad dinner at the time the house was surrounded by Sheridan’s Union troops, but escaped from the house and was taken after a pursuit for a quar- ter of a mile. He was a prisoner at Point Lookout, Va. for six months, @uring which time Terry visited him. Before- the Union soldiers arrived, Johnson had ®uried his money in the cellar, $1,700 in gold and silver, putting it into a crock at Terry’s ion, and the latter held the candle while Johnson dus a hole in the center of the cellar where the money was placed. There was also $30,000 in Confederate paper money. which was put in a bar- rel. This was found and burat by Sheridan's soldiers, but the crock of gold and silver was not discovered. Reward Was Fifty Cents. ‘When Johnson got out of prison ha went back with Terry and dug up the money, handing Terry a fifty-cent piec dated 1830, which remained in Mr. Ter- ry’s_possession for many vears. After the war Mr. Terry did farm- ing until 1868 and was prominent in th freedmen’s movement in Richmond, advocating among other things the freedman’s bank. He showed his own faith in it by putting in $250, which he never got out again, as the bank collapsed. : After 1868 Mr. Terry was located in this city, working at various occupa- tions, and in 1886 he ‘went to work as a furniture painter and finisher for N. S. Gilbert & Sons.working there seven- teen years, by which time he had saved up $1,100 and started in the second- hand furniture business on his own ac- count. - i T |FEBRUARV MEETING OF | CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS Held at Norwich Town, Papers Being Read by Rev.

Sparks as Follows: Al Sparks was known to all the members of the craft in New Leondon, and his acqualntance extended far be- 7| yond the immediate vicinity in which he resided. He was a prince among 200d fellows. Kind, generous and of noble heart, he was sympathetic and a willing friend whenever he could be of assistance to those who had this acquaintance. His death will be re- Bretted among his co-laborers and all his friends will feel that they have lost an estimable acquaintance. A TRIBUTE TO A HORSE. The Faithful Ani Was Never Struek a Blow. C. 8. P. writes from The Hemlocks of the death of a dear old horse who faithfully did his duty for sixteen years. He addresses the editor thus: “I want to tell you about the dear old horse we have loat. Sixteen years ago last September waa bought. He took a three weeks' rive from Brook- lyn, N. Y., to Greenport, L. I, crossed to New“Londong then drove to Boston, and from Boston to Albany, N. Y., and from there took the boat to New York city and drove from the boat home to Brooklyn. The next fall wa drove from Brooklyn, on the south side of Long Isiand, to Montauk and back to ‘East Hampton, and to Sag Harbor, and then across to New London and drove to Norwich Town. He has never been whipped by us, and has been most faithful. Two weeks ago he was taken sick with Bright's disease and Sunday night passed on to the horse heaven, if there is one. He had every care and Monday, with the help of our neigh- bor, William J. Odgers, and Charles Smith of Canterbury road and Richard V. Fisher of Denver, Col., we laid the dear old horse in his grave in our ap- ple orchard. Peace to his ashes. We shall miss him so much. The streets of Norwich will know him no more.” (In the heavenly visions-of the Bible prophets Korses. were sean and describ- ed, and Frank appears to have besn qualified to ever associate with the faithful. The love which takes in God's dumh creatures is not a love to be ashamed of.—The Editor.) NORWICH TOWN Time When Citizans Were Interested in Wharf Building at the Landing— Rural Carrier Not Hindered by the Storm. In February, 1724, the people of Nor- wioch, instead of being occupled with the water question, were voting upon building a town whart at'the Landing place. Not many years before that the Landing was a_ low, sw rock- bound, rugged wilderness. At tho time of the Revolution the Landing consiet- ed of a large number of storehouses where goods were landed and stored untii they wera wanted in the nearly thirty stores in existence in Norwich Town, many of them doing big busi- ness.' This commerce was the founda- tion of the fortunes of the Hunting- tons, Iathrops, Tracys, Leffingwells to be sluggish and correspondingly depressed. No one need tell you that. But why continue to suffer all the miseries gnd -torments that a disor- dered stomach brings you? If your stemach can not digest your food, what will? Where's the relief? IWhere's the cure?
