How Far the Sound of a Cannon Goes.

The tie of Bunker Hill was fought
June 14th, 1775. The sound of the can
non used in the engagement was very
distinctly heard by persons on the Deer
field River, on the east side of Hoosick
mountain, where now is the town of
Charlemont, Mass, the distance being
one hundred and twenty miles. This is
asserted in "The Memoirs of Capt. Lem
muel Roberts" a rare work printed
Bennington, VT, 1909. He was an Off
Ger in the army of the Revolution. He
says: We were surprised at the hear
ing of heavy cannonade from a great
distance, which proved to he the battle
of Bunker HILL"
On July 29th, 1912, naval engage
ment with cannonade lasting an hour
and half, occurred between the United
States flotilla of Delaware, Lieu. Samuel
Angus commanding, and some British
ships that were in the bay. The conflict
transpired near Cape May, not far from
place called Crows Shoals. The fir
ing of the cannon was heard by many
persons at Washington City, distant, in
a direct line, one hundred and twenty
miles. This is recorded as "a Curious
Fact' in weekly paper called "The
War, published at New York in 1913.
These cases are we'll authenticated. The
cannon could not have been so large as
the ones now in use.

what is Curious about sranford 2

A PARTY of gentlemen were riding
n over the Shore Line railroad be-
tween New Haven and Providence q
few nights ago, and were amusing each
other by telling good stories, when the
train halted and the conductor cried
out Branford."
One of the party seeing no sign of
village inquired where the town was.
About three fourths of mile away"
was the reply from one who knew the
locality.
Well, what is there in particular
about Branford ?" was the next inquiry.
Well, said the man, "to the manor
born" " 1 can tell you just what kind
of place it is. A few years ago there
was but one pauper in town, and he
former well-to-do citizen, whose proper
ty had gone, through sundry misfortunes
and perhaps too convivial habits once
extremely popular, aud with warmly
attached friends. But falling at last
upon the town for support, the citizens
had voted to board him at the village
hotel, and allowed him in addition to
his living two drinks per day
AT the end of the year when
the annual town meeting was held
the pauper Aforesaid deliberately arose
and made a motion that his allow
ances for the coming year be increased
to three drinks. On this warm debate
ensued, which consumed large part of
the afternoon, the former friends and
cronies of the pauper strenuously advo-
eating his claims, and the motion was
finally carried by decisive majority.
And that" said the speaker, &c is what
there is peculiar about the town of Bran
ford y

the polItest people In the world. A cor
respondent, writing from the spot, gives
a ludlcrous Illustration of the extent to
which the natives carry their ideas Of
courtesy. Two native gentlemen, on
their way to the railway station, accl-
dentally fell into ditch. One would
suppose that both would have been on
their feet In twinkllng; but no, the
law of politeness interfered, and one
said to the other +" When your Honor
rises then 1 may get up" No, your
Honor should get up first,' replied the
other. "Never; how could 1 take
precedence of your Honor 7" and thus
the contest went on for an hour, it Is
said, because neither gentleman would
consent TO violate the laws of good
breeding.

He Kept His Promise.

William Brooks attempted to shoot
his wife, at Shelby, N. G. The indigna-
ton of his neighbors was outspoken,
and they proposed to have him prose-
cuted but he said that they need not go
to that trouble, for he fully realized his
despicable character, and would punish
himself with death on the following day
Next morning he shouldered his gun
and rope and started for the woods,
telling his family that when they heard
shot they might know that he was
hanging himself, and could get his body.
They did not believe him; yet they went
in search of him on hearing the promis-
ed signal and found him dead.

How He did It.

A travelling dentist in Australia adver-
tises new method of extracting teeth,
without the aid of chloroform or laugh
ing gas" When patient calls upon
him for treatment, he places him in
chair and makes a fixture of him with
straps and bands. Then he puts the for
ceps to the tooth and gives it a terrific
jerk inward. "That," he says, sis the
way that DIR. Smith does it," He gives
it another yank in the opposite direc-
ton, remarking. And that is the way
that DIR. Jones goes to work" By this
time the tooth is quite loose. With a
gentle pull he forces it out, saying, But
this is the way that J. do. Send your
friends to me and I'll convince them of
the superiority of my method"
