Bill nop Sheriff Preston B.

An Exciting Fourth of July . Representative Charles O. Thompson of Pomfret tells an interesting story to friends who ride out to Hartford with him of how, as long ago as 1822, a party of boys, of whom his father was a member hired one Fourth ot July morning an old qus yman living { in the vicinity to put several pounds of giant powder under one end of an enormous tilting rock, halanced on the edge of the high and precipitous cliff at Bolton Station and explode it, to see what the resuit would be. Ac- cording to Representative Thompson's story, and the evidence that still re- mains, said result was extremely sen- sational. The explosive hurled huge balancing rock, weighing proba- hly two score tons, over the edge of the cliff to the ground, nearly 140 feet below, and the terrific force of its im- pact with the earth split it in two parts, which still rest where they fell between the railroad track, which was not built then, and the old stage route, which might have been blockaded in- | definitely had not the falling mass shot over and beyond its course. Represent- ative Thomson is of the opinion that that Fourth of July celebration was the most exciting his father experienc- e Sale of Joslin House to Richard Mur- phy. Putnam people were interested Fri- day in the announcement that the Jos- lin house, at Webster. had been sold by F. J. St. Ciair to Richard Murphy, who has been th= clerk there for several years.
