[ In Norwich fifty years ago extensive preparations were being made for the visit of the Seventh regiment of New York and the committee on collation planned to have a tent and would en- deavor to furnish dinner for at least 1,200 people. In a census of out-of- town publications sold in Norwich it was found that local people-had sub- scribed to at least 3,300 publications printed outside the city. There will be noticed that the prices . of ffty years ago are not within many cents of those of today. While sugar was double the present price, the prices of other staple articles are just double those of '68. Extracts from The Bulletin's files of '8 follow: June 29, 1858:—The first of the hot weather struck on Saturday when the thermometers registered anywhere from $8 to 94 in the shade and the air was sultry and uncomfortable. The tem- perature did not decrease any on Sun- day. A man from New London came to town on Saturday with a _lumber wagon full of strawberries and before noon he had sold his entire load. He was charging only 10 and 12 cents a quart for them and they were the nicest berries yet sold in this city. A letter of acceptance was read yes- terday at the Broadway church from Rev. Dantel Merriman who has been called to the pastorate of the church, +13,300 Out-of-Town Publications Sold Here.

There were several committee meet- ings on Monday evening for the Seventh regiment reception which is to be held here next week. The com- mittees reported that everything was in readiness for the notable event, which will be the largest in years. There were no less than five straw- berry festivals held on Monday even- ing in Norwich and_vicinity, and all were largely attended. These pleasant times are becoming very popular with young people of the city. 1, 1868.—At the annual horticul- tural exhibition held here on Tuesday the first prize for strawberries was awarded to Williagn H. Page and the second prize went to R. Revelle. Current Prices. The prices of staple articles in Nor- wich 30 vears ago varied somewhat from the prices of 1918. The best cuts of beef sold for 25 and 30 cents a pound, and soup meat sold for 6 cents a pound. Veal sold for 18 cents and ham brought 28 cents a pound. But- ter sold for 30 cents a pound and eggs were 30 cents a dozen. Sugar ‘was the highest priced product, selling at 19 and 20 cents a pound. A little daughter of a Mr. Wood of the Falls district fell into the river while playing and was nearly drown- ed. The child's mother went to rescue her, but became exhausted and had to be rescued by two men. Ten Thousand Feet of Pipe Laid.

If the vine has not been wilted it will usually recover. You will find it of great help to cov- er the joints of the vines with earth. New roots will develop thus strength- ening the plant. Plant extra seed and destroy vines affected. Crops planted late are not often injured to any great extent.
