Morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven [Conn.]) 1848-1894, 1890-10-22
With thrilling flies
And peeling drums
And clashing horns,

They come. tney COME
Then, the great gun began to belch
forth the well known sound of war and
the peal of the bell in the steeple of the
house, proclaimed the tidings to all free
and bonden that the first Monday in May
was training day.
The writer has u clear and vivid recol-
lection of the tout ensemble" of this
company and OF Captain Hotchkiss, whose
gay uniform and cooked hat, inspired him
with greater awe than any marshal or
general of European or American armies,
whom it has, in late years been his privi
lege to meet. The musicians also held in
high esteem and when Mr.. Jacob Farren
gave the three rolls accompanied by Mr..
Munson's fife, the effect was wonderful
and negotiations for molasses candy and
peanuts were at once commenced.
One soldier in this parade shall always
remember He was one of natures noble
men and a sovereign of the state of Con-
necticut, Mr.. Henry Burr, relative of the
celebrated Aaron Burr, vice president of
the United States. Mr.. Burr wore black
dress ,claw hammer) coat, and pants to
match, with black felt hat (which was the
Sunday suit of the period 1S40) bayonet
sheath and white belts crossed at the back.
His position was near the left of the COM
pany, and while marching in column with
musket on his shoulder at carry arms and
ordered to wheel, his bayonst came
in contact with the beaver of Mr..
and being much annoyed at Mr.. Burr's
unsoldierlike courage, declared Mr.. Burr
handled his gun like cow would a
musket. But this parade was of great
value to Mr.. Burr, who became expert at
drill, and when called in later years to
march forth to assist in subduing the late
rebellion, he was wounded on the battle
of Antietem, where he lay three days sup
posed to be dead He was at last taken
away and found to be wounded in the leg,
which was amputated.
East Haven green, or market place, was
| the meet for citizens of the town on all
| inhabitants to go forth to fight the Maria
| eansett Indians in 1916. Here met the
towns soldiers in the French and Indian
war, and of the revolution. Here -four
