A Revolutionary Relic.

A revolutionary relic Of great age and value
has recently come to light in Bedford, IN the
shape of British flag. tits made OF magnii-
cent crimson brocadei and is about two and
half yards long, by two and fourth wlde'--
The Saint Georges cross appears between Our
squares Of white and sky blue, which are sewn
into the 6eld at the upper corner, next to tue
staff so as 10 leave the cross OF the same ma
ter;al as the feld-in relief. The material corn-
posing these squares is of the finest texture OF
what is called ''lute string" silk The material
of the whole flag bears evidence that 1t was
made to last and its great age seems scarcely
to have left an impression on It, 1t is slightly
worn at the upper corner farfhest from the
staff-otherwise, it is neither faded nor soiied'
There is but little doubt that 1t IS genulus
British red ensign.
If ;s now in the possess:en Of z. G.. Morse,
Esq, of Bedford, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, who
purchased il from Mrs Stifler, an estimabe
old lady of this borough. 1t came into her pos
session through the mother of her husband,
who was married to Anthony Nawgei- an
thony Nawgel died in April. 1919, in the 9th
year of his age, and left the flag to his wife,
Sarah Nawge, who died on the 18th OF Sep-
tember, 1881, leaving it to Anthony Stiffier,
from whose wife it was purchased. Il is, no
doubt, the fag that used to wave over the Old
fort at Bedford, when yet Ia the hands OF King
Georges troops 1t seems TO have been cap
tured from the fort some time IN l7I5 or lfI6
after the revolution had commenced-5y a
company of men under the lead OF Nawgel, IN
whose possession il was always kept. Mrs.
Stifler says, that her mother-in-law sad, the
men who captured it used to celebrate the an
niversary of its capture, regulariy-when Nsw-
gels house was always made headquarters, and
wine was drunk in honor of the occasion. 1t
is, therefore, probably, over one hundred years
aid and AS the fort was named after the duke
of !Bedford, may have been presented by hin.
The belief that it is the flag which belonged
- IN, fort, is warranted by the manner in which
il is NJ ade as well as by tradition among the
oIdest ;nbs bitants. There is an eyeet worked
in the upper corner, next the staff and the
edaa ia sewn in s.1ch manner as TO admit of a
cords being drawn through it. And thus fast
ening, il may have been Gttached to pulley at
the top of the staff, and elevated or riowered at
will. As relic of the past history OF Bed
ford, il ia of incaiculabie value, and should be
retained here by all means.
