[ - e o = s 3 o It may be of interest to Norwich readers and boys especially, thdt the boys of 1792 were quite the same as they are today, as the following ac- count taken from the Conn. Gazette of Dec. 4 1792, shows: “On Thursday last a young man by the name of Cook, age 19 was instant- ly killed, in this town, by the discharge of a swivel. The circumstances as near as we can recollect were as fol- lows. In celebration of the day, being Thanksgiving, a large number of boys assembled, and by pillaging dry casks, from stores, wharves etc had erected a bon fire on the hill back of the Land- ing, and to make their rejoicing more snorious filled a swivel several times. At last a foolish fondness for a loud report induced them to be pretty lav- ish of their powder. The explosion burst the swivel into a multitude of pieces, the largest of which welghing seven pounds passed through the body of the deceased, carrying with it his heart and was afterwards found in the street thirty of forty rods from where it was fired. While the serious lament the unhap- py account they entertain the hope good may come from evil: that the sgvage practice of making bonfires on the evning of Thanksgiving may be changed to some more mode of re- joicing more consistant with the genu- ine spirit of Christianity” It the fall of 1705, in Colchester the authorities postponed Thanksgiving from the first Thursday in' November, to the second Thursday in November because of a scarcity of modasses, and they must needs wait until a supply E ed so thé good dames could prop- erly prepare their great dinners.” Referring to the Connecticut Gazette again we find this account from Nor- wich, dated Nov. 12, 1773. ‘“@he season has been so remarkably mild that a fortnight since a mess of green peas was picked at Norwich from the seed of this vear's growth, and at Fairfield.gbout the same tim near a pint of strawberries were gath- ered (in a fleld from vines that had produced a crop at the usual season) equal in color and of agreeable taste and flavor as those that are gathered in June.” The Gazette also giv. account of a terrific storm which swept Bozrah on Mond July 15, 1799. It is described as having taken place about 5 P. M. when the sky became covered with a “black in the south” which “grew in blackness and rapidly A half hour later a cloud of cf flame color rolled up in front s the following of it “like smoke” Then a “Great black cloud came up from N. W, to 8. W. and formed a junction ith the first cloud.” At six o'clock the whole hemisphere was covered with the darkness of night, omitting “Sharp forked lightning followed by heavy thunder.” A calm of a few moments succeeded, while the birds and beasts guided by instinet fled for refuge as portending some great calamity. The wind with a roar blew with great vio- lence, when “astonishing to behold, hail stones of prodigious size two and three inches in diameter, were driven with the force of grape shot.” At first they were scattering but came thicker and faster until they fell in a complete shower of ice, so great as to prevent seeing an object two or three rods dis- tant. “When the hail ceased the rain Bad Blood Is a poisonous and dangerous thing. It affects every organ and function and brings about that A THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY IN NORWICH | bladder under his elbow, came in torrents and swept the hail ruins away in great waves.” For an hour the rain came and when the fury of the storm was over and the clouds broke away the sun was just setting. The earth seemed a desolate waste, a prospect gloomy and dreary beyond description. “All windows were broken on three sides of the houses, shingles were torn off and split. “Cattle’s backs were bleeding, horses’ legs cut and swollen; some pigs four months old as well as sheep, turkeys geese etc. were killed. Birds were daily found in flelds and hedges and gardens killed and maimed. The storm was so terriffic that many inhabitants compared it with their idea of the judgment. The hailstones were so large that they were taken for fall- ing bricks from chimneys on the rbofs of the houses. Some hailstones were found that measured nearly six inches by seven inches. They were compared to hens’ eggs and of geese. The banks of hail flve and six inches deep remained for a week and the hail stones even then measured 3 1-2 inch- es around. They were more general- 1y flat than round with ragged edges. Two or thee men were knocked down and two children, one of which 14 years old was so beaten as to be deprived of reason for two days. In this connection it is interesting to note that the busy town of Fitchville was built by Nehemiah Fitch and his brothers in 1832, and received its name from its founders. But before the coming of the mills it was always call- ed “Bozrah.” This name was given the place through the incorrect quoting of the scripture. An old genteiman who lived where the first Fitchville mills were built arose in meeting and quot- ed from the Book of Isiah which he called “Bozrah” by mistake. After this the place was called Bozrah, first in fun later in earnest and the first post office was given this name. SUSAN JEWETT HOWE Dynamite Proof Car.

Willlam Murdoch, son of an old mill- wright of Old Cumnoch, Scotland, is the acknowledged inventor of coal gas lighting. He was born Aug. 21, 1854, in a low roofed, thatched cottage— a replica, almost of the little “biggin” in which Robert Burns was born. He was brought up as a millwright and miller until he was 23, then came south and entered the service of Messrs. Boulton and Watt (Watt be- ing the famous inventor of the steam engine,) of Soho works, Birmingham He changed his name from Murdoch to Murdock out of consideration for the Englishman’'s natural inability to pronounce the guttural. At this time he wore a wooden ‘hat. It is related of Murdock that, with ga filled just as if he were playing the bagpipes of his da- tive land.” the gas burning at the end of a pipe attached to the bladder, he used to light his way about in the early and late dark hours of winter days. Murdock did other things to scare the w out of the people. One of his contrivances was an engine that ran on wheels—a forerunner of the motor car—and his excursions on this used to alarm the ives A Common Compliment.

It has been compiled from contributions of best recipes from 450 women, among them wives of cabinet members, government officials, governors of many states and other official families. Some of the famous old southern dishes from Miss Wilson’s maternal grandmother’s cook book have been included in the ¥olume, which is not alone unlque, but has been bound in practical form so it' will not be dam- aged by practical use. It is essentially a volume for the kitchen, not the libra- ry, and is said to have been one of the gifts in which the president’s daughter has taken most delight. STATESMEN VICTIMS OF SLICK SWINDLER.

Why Physicians Recommend Castoria C ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor em the pe.rt of physwmns, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physi- cians with results most gratifying. The extesded use of Castoria is unquestxonably the result of three facts : Férsé—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That i not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food : Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil tain any Opiumn, Morphine, or other narcetic and does not stupefy. - TR It is absolutely safe. It does not coa- It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey s Cordial,etc. Thisisa good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for peisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowi- edge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Jourral of Health.
