IN NORWICH FIFTY YEARS AGO - The mosi interesting topic of the Mweek in Noryich 50 years ago was the jneed of a naw town hall for the ac- mmodation of the city and town of- ficials and also the need of a safe de- [pository for” the town records. 'he ‘hew London County Mutual Fire In- mrame company and the Occum com- pn.ny held their annual meetings, at (which time they elected directors te serve during the year 1870. Golum- bian commandery, No. 4, K. T, also held their annual ball in Breed hall the same week. Extracts from the files of The Bul- Jetin of that week are as follows: Monday, Jan. 17, 1870.—Ezra Rob- bins, a resident of Preston and an lemploye of the Norwich and Worces- ter Railroad company, was called up about 10 o'clock Saturday night to {aitend to a case of sickness in his family. Looking out of the window, #he discovered a bright light in one of | the rooms of the new repair shep of the Norwich & Woreester railroad. Calling the assistance of a neighbor, /he proceeded across the river in a boat jand discovered that a quantity of saw- jdust in the boiler rooms was on fire. HQ immediately coupied some hose to ‘one of the hydrants in the building tend soon extinguished the fire. On Sunday afternoon the city reser- | voir was found to be full and thn' water was running out at the channel “End Your Rheumatism Like I Did Mine’’— Says Pastor Reed; Wife Also Rid of Neuritis For ¥ ul'l—.b' Enfersd Telling m News To Others.

It was indeed ble revelation! i had euffered agony for years from rheumatism apd acsoelated disorders, nd Birs. Read was tortured with the ?;mcu neuritis almost beyond endur- ance. We had read and talked so much about ‘Uric Acid' that our minds seemed poisoned. But the ‘Inner Mys- teries of Roeumatism’ made it all clear to ue and now we are both free from the suffering and misery we endured so many years. I believe I was the hardest man in the world to convert! For me to discard the old ‘Urie Acid® theory. and what I now know to be 2bsolutely false: for the new, scientifiq understanding of the cause and curs of rhenmatism, was like asking me to change my religious beilefs! But I did change, and it was a fortunate day for me and mine when 1 did so.” NOTE: The JInper Myvsteries of Rheymatism referred to above by Pastor Reed lays bare facts about rheumatism and its associated disor- ders overiooked by doetors and scien- tists for centuries past. It is a werk that should be in the hands of every man oryweman who has the slightest symptoms of rheumatism, nenritis, lombago or gout. Anyone who sends name and nddrut to the author bqn- will reeeive it by mail, pestage pal apd absolutely free. Send now, leqe you forget the address!

B. Le: threw out the first shoveiful of muck. to show the men how to do it. Then the voice of the scorner was often leard from the bank, for it was a monstrous hole, and it was diffiodlt for the mind untutored in engineering to believe that it would ever fill up. A small stream crawledalong -through a diteh cut in the peat, looking like a mere ribbon in the bottom of the val- ley. How the croakers croaked in those days. “No water” “Never can fm up the hele.” ‘“Money thrown ny " “Ditch water,” and all that rt_of cheerful comment. \Io“ that the hole is full, it is pleasant tolthink of all those things. E. G. Selden of this eity received a second prize in the debate of the seniors of the Brothers in Unity so- ciety at Yale on Friday evening.

A town ‘meeting has been called for next Saturday afternoon to act upen or county, or both. ‘in the erection of a new town and rourt house; also te provide a safe place for keeping the town reeords and to see if the town will sell out to the city ite’ intereat in, the building now occupied by them Jointly. ‘Wednesday, Jan. 19, 1870.—The ball of Columbian commandery, No. 4, K. T., of this city ip Breed hall last evening hes long been looked forward to as the great terpsichorean event of the season, and no one. therefore, was surprised on visiting the hall in the evening to find it filled with one of the | most brilliant companies ever gathered in a ballreom in this city. Altogether, | Columbian commandery is to be con gratulated upon the success of the| whole entertainment. The machine shop of J. M. Hunting- ton & company at Thamesviile is em- ploying about 60 men, and until vcry‘ recently has been running day and night. The chief business on hand is the building of the Potter printing press, of which eight a month are be- ing turned eut.

The plates were the largest ever set in the city, the fropt ones measuring 138x68 and the side ones 138x56 inches. The piers for the new Preston bridze have at last been completed, Now let Mr. Dickson hurry un his old iron and Preston will be happy again. Fridav, Jan. 21, 1870.—There is con- sidérable discussion over the proper policy to.be adopted at the town meet- ing on Saturday, On some points nearly all our citizens are agreed. to wit: Our town records are not In a safe demository. The accommodations for our town officials are. unworthy the town. Our common c¢ouncil cham- ber is a pinched up hole, Our court room only answers as a temporary ac- commodation. We need a good town ball. Tn shert, a building for the use of the town, eity and courts must be built sooner or later. The enumeration of the Greensville| schoel distriet is complete and shows the number of inhabitants to be 2,918 There are 768 children between th ages of 4-16 years. an increase of 34 from last gear.

Use the wax nightly, like you use cold cream, washing it off morning: their nri-un' office for some ménfhs and one of different make will soon be brought here by the water commis- sioners for trial. v Saturday, Jan. 22, 1870.—The Needs of the Town: The first is a building for the use of the electors and officers of the town. We do not believe that there is a town in wretchedly provided, ail things consid- ered, as the town of Norwich. Of course we know that the erection of a new town hall has heen so long dn-l ferred only from motives of Eeonomy. David Moore, the veteran iee dealer of '.hL eity, is hopeful. He iz now building at his pond on Baltic street a new icehouse, 80x30 feet, which he expects to fill with the rest in season for hot weather. The screw steamer Shetucket, an old | veteran in thesé waiers and a govern- ment ‘transport during the war, went ashore on Wednesday a few miles north of Cape May and will prove a total loss. At the time she was on a voyage from Philadelphia to New Bedford. The eréw were saved.

UNITED WORKERS' ANNUAL TO BE IN TOWN HALL For thelr 45rd annual meeting, which is to be held next Tuesday eve- ning, the United Workers are to make a geparture from their ordinary place for hoiding their annual meetings and this one will be held in the town hall at 7.30 in the evening. It is expected that this will give a much greater chance for a general public attendance than in other years. The United Workers are bringing te the city for an address at this meet- ing, Dr, Edward T. Devine, the great- est authority on social work in Amer- ica. Dr. Devine will speak o Our New Herizon, and it is believed that his address will meet- the greatest need in public welfare work at the be- ginning of this new year, ‘which is a general edueational eampaign, A general invitation to hear ‘Dr. Devine is extmded to the public.
