The province of Trebizond is the topic treated
OF by US. Consul Jewett in late report to
the State department. Among other interest
ing facts he refers to the existence of pecu-
liar colony of people residing in this region
who have claim upon the attention and SYM
pathy Of every student of the classics. He
says:
''Some forty miles south of Trebizond there
is community which Is highly interesting to
the students Of history and OF sociology. When
the Ten Thousand on the famous retreat
described by Xenophon, passed through this
country portion of the army was cut of from
the main body and left behind. They were we'll
treated by the surrounding tribes, intermarried
with them and settled down permanently in a
community of their own. The people now
living in the district referred to, included in
some nine villages, claim to be the direct de-
scendants of these soldiers Of Xenophon. Their
language is Greek and they profess the Christ
ian religion, though under the pressure of the
Moslem conquest they nominally adopted
Accommodation. Some thirty years ago they
formally declared themselves Christians, but,
ON the other hand, many of them bear Moham-
medan names and in every village there 10 a
mosque. As Christian subjects in the Ottoman
empire are exempt from military service. pay
ing head-tax instead, the anomalous position
these people hold frequently causes difficulties
with the authorities. Their local customs, di-
alect traditions and mixed religion offer an
interesting field for investigation and study"

it has been suggested may have been the axis

moved from this line, that powders of ex-
traordinary size occur most numerously; and

Gently has been regarded as one Of the larg-

coarse crystalline GRANTEES situated in the
town of Montville, New London county,
about six miles south of Norwich and about
q mile west of the Montville station on the
New London Northern railroad, and, under
the name of 'Sheegan," has almost from the
first settlement of the country been reoog-
nized as great natural curiosity.
It's position is on the edge of a gentle
little valley, and its dimensions, according
to recent measurements by Professor Crosby
of the Boston Society of Natural history,
are as follows: Northwest side, 46 feet;
northeast, 20; southeast, 45: southwest, 70.
Maximum height, reckoning from the lower
or down-hill side to the highest point ON the
upper side, approximately, so feet; approx
innate weight, about 5000 tons. The cavity
or recess beneath the rock, which
is said to have been occupied
at the time of the first settle
ment of the country by Moheean
Indian (from whom the rock undoubtedly
derived its name) as a dwelling place, is
sufficiently oapacious to admit of being used
as place of shelter for the sleds and other
farm implements of the former proprietor.
A rude ladder on the southern side of the
rock affords facilities for reaching it's top and
obtaining a somewhat extensive view Of the
surrounding country.-Hon. David A. Wells

commissioners on June 28. The application
stated the number of the store in which I
petitioned for license to sell liquor in plain
figures. The application was properly made
out and was in the hands of the county COM
missioners until July 10, which was over two
weeks the time stated by law that an appli.
cation shall be presented before the
license is granted. the notice of
the application was printed in a
daily paper, the Connecticut Free Presse. u
and was printed in English in q prominent
part of the paper for two weeks before I OBJ
tanned my license. There was no attempt at
concea!ment made whatever The statement
which was made intimating that John RYAN.
tine owner of the building, who made appli.
cation for license and was refused, had
furnished the money is untrue and bare all
the expense, paid for the license with INV
own money as. an examination into my purse
