Senator Thomas w. Palmer, of Michi- gan, has recently been among the Ashford hills searching for the grave of his great grandfather, Dr. Benjamin Palmer, who more than century ago was prominent physician in these parts and is supposed to have been buried in Eastford, though no stone marks his resting place. The sena- tors purpose is to erect substantial mon- ument to his ancestors memory. He also visited the old Palmer homestead which his father left for Michigan when young man and which is situated about two miles north of Ashford village. It is spacious mansion, standing on farm of 300 acres, but no longer owned by the Palmers. The millionaire senator has caused large num- Der of relics from the old homestead to be sent for the adornment of his log cabin pleasure resort four miles from Detroit. Trees and shrubs will also be transplanted | there.-N Y Tribune

From this height of fifty years are seen. Four sons, two daughters gather round, The marriage fruitage thus they crown But the band is broken; two have flown Across the river to that land unknown. A little girl, who left her love,
 Then fitted away to that home above. Iu the last of his teens, brave, bright boy, His fathers pride and his mothers joy, Hastened away at his countrys call, And was doomed by the rebels hands to fall. His spirit went joyfully home to its God, With bleeding hearts they passed under the rod; His vacant chair they have draped tonight, With our country's flag, red, blue and white. Thou honored sire Thou mother true! No humble service this, for you, As through life's pilgrimage you trod, To rear family for God.
 Your altar fire will keep it's place, And childrens children to it trace An influence, lighting near and far, And own it as their guiding star. Ye favored pair, as hand in hand
 You stand and view the promised land, As nearer, nearer comes the light,
 That follows closely after night, .. Let love for each, your hearts still thrill, Each guard the other from every ill, Smoothing your lives by kindest deeds, And quick to sense each others needs. So your last days be best of all,
 Whene'er the heavenly voice may call,
 You shall go hence, your life well spent, Your heartfelt cry, ''I am content" With many sheaves, you with the blest, May find in heaven the promised rest.
 Next was sung 'I am Wandering" by a quartette of the sons present, P. H. M., s. Olin, and Henry M Brooks of Spring field, and Edward w. Brooks of Stafford. Then came the banquet. The rest of the evening was passed socially, and in pleas ant manner, liberal greetings and congrat- ulations being given to the aged couple.
 In one room was display of presents given, some of them being: Gold coin, $lO0, silver spoon holder, gold-bound ber- ry spoon, silver ladle, painted plaque, brass salver, set knives, berry set, salt sets, etc., etc.
 MT. Brooks was born in Stafford, his father having removed to the town in 1903, coming from Warren, Mass, and making the removal April 9th on runners, sleighmg having extended continuously from the preceding December, nor was this considered extraordinary for that pe- riod. MT. B's. grandfather and four of his uncles served in the American army during the revolutionary war, his own father having been born during that con- | test.
 The couple now have six children living the four sons named above, and two daughters, wives of w. A. Comins of Staf- ford and Frank Orcutt of Wilmington. One daughter died in infancy, and son fell on the field of Antietam.
