18th chapter and Sth verse is recorded the declaration which the Great Teacher made on certain occasion, viz :" For the poor alwasy ye have with yon but me ye have not alwasy." One lesson to be learned from that declaration is this certain institutions will always exist in Canaan, but David S. Cowles Post will not always exist, Its membership will soon be decreased by DoatL and its shattered ranks cannot be recruited. Let us manifest our gratitude to these veterans by aiding them whenever
 opp ortunity occurs, for soon not c member will ba living to call the roll oi

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

THE PIONEERS OF NEW CONNECTICUT.
 Editor of Ne,rs
 Finding the CONN WESTERN NEWS to be welcome visitor in the section of Ohio known as the Western Reserve, it occurred to us that few lines concern ing that region might prove of interest in your paper.
 In recent visit to Johnsonville, one of the principal farming sections of Trumbull county, we found that many of the original settlers went from Canaan, Sharon and Salisbury, and some of them are still living The first family were Cap Bradley, wife and sons. They left Salisbury in June 1903. After leaving the last settlement they pursued their way by marked trees and bridle paths, and after six weeks wandering located in Johnsonville. It was nearly two years from that time before Mrs Bradley saw the face of q stimulus was given to emigration in this direction by Capt Church, Timothy Chittenden, of Salisbury, and others of the same company, from Canaan and Sharon. Among she early settlers *of JOllHSOllS14lc W dS btIc 1GGt oAldS 1IC1S who went from Hartland, among the first missionaries. He is still living, and although nearing 100 years ofage, takes due interest in the affairs of the community. His golden wedding was celebrated with much ceremony. His family have now all passed away. Another family were the Bartletts, from Chapinville, which name is still repre- scented in the place; and Mir Harvey Selleck, who settled in Johnsonville in 1927, is still living, on one of the most fertile farms, and although over 80 years of age, he takes an active interest in the affairs of life, and his account of the days when deer, wolves and other game were abundant would wake up the youthful readers of the CONN WEST ERN NEWS. Bears were known, with wonderful noses for pork, sometimes clearing out a pig sty in a night. Hunt ing parties were organized to rid the country of such marauders and : the number of animals killed at some of these roundups was astonishing.
 The thanks of your correspondent are due Mir Addison Brinsmade for courtesies during his stay in the favored section known as New Connecticut. 5 X. X. X. : i Salisbury. Dec 1888.

 We learn that our friends in Canaan are joyous over receiving two or three of our best families among them. We also are glad for them and that they are going no farther, but regret their absence from us very much.
