John Browns Blanket.

The Boston journal of Saturday con-
tanned the following, which will be read
with interest by Capt. Aldrich's many
friends in this place: Capt. Harrison AL
drich of Somerville, Mass, has just been
presented with blanket that John Brown
used during his historic campaign in Kan
sas and Virginia. II is of fine English
wooden, dark blue in color, and in good
condition. 1t was saved and carried by
Charles Plummer Tidd, q trusted comrade
of John Brown, who was one of the four
men that evaded the thousands of armed
foes who blOckaded every outlet of escape
from the scene of that grand precursor of
the war at Harper's Ferry. Tidd enlisted
in the Twenty first Massachusetts, regi-
ment in 1861 and served in the same com
pany with Harrison Aldrich, who was at
that time an enlisted man, and they slept
together under this same blanket. The
regiment was connected with Burnside's
expedition to North Carolina. Only a few
days before the battle of Roanoke Island.
Tidd was taken sick and died on board the
steamer Northerner while the battle was
in progress. After his death Surgeon Gull
ter of the regiment, who had been a warm
friend of Tidd before the war, also know
ing that John Brown had used this blank
ct with Tidd, requested of Capt. Aldrich.

"After the war was over and Surgeon
Cutter had died, his son, DIR. j. c. Cutter
of Worcester, found among other war rel
les he received from his fathers estate this
blanket, and having been informed by
Capt. Aldrich that he knew the history
connected with it, having learned it from
Tidd, Dr. Cutter very kindly presented it
to him.

the presentation to the post of very
handsome and valuable book. The pre-
sentation was made by Mrs. Eva d. Green
wood in memory of her deceased husband,

contain a record of the war services of the
living and deceased members of the post.

ance of personal sketches at the option of
the post historian. 1t is ultimately to be
preserved by the local municipality should

The body of Edison johnson, who died
at Hinsdale, n. H., last Friday was brought
here Sunday and the funeral was held at 3
o'clock =. VI. Rev. Mr.. Drake OBLIGATED,
assisted by Rev. A. j. Martin. Mr. John
son was a native of WardsbOro and had
spent nearly the whole OF his life here, liv-
ing in this little village longer than in any
other place. When a young man, before
the advent Of railroads, he drove a freight
team to Boston, and used TO relate many
interesting incidents of those days. Later,
he became a successful farmer. His wife,
ThO was Lucy Kelley, died nine years ago.
He lived alone much of the time after her
death, until he sold his place here in the
fall Of 1890, and made his home with his
adopted daughter, Mrs. Edgar Robinson of
Hinsdale. He was a good citizen and kind
neighbor. One of the best things that
could be said of anyone had been truth
fully said of him: "He minds his own
business" He will long be pleasantly re-
membered by his old neighbors and friends.

THE sentiment expressed in the ad- dress of the Irrigation congress at Los Angeles was strongly against the ceding the public lands to the states. The policy adopted by the congress is an opposite one from the popular idea existing in Arizona. but one that can- not but be looked upon with favor by those who give the matter careful study. From A selfish standpoint Ari- zons asks for all she can get as well as other commouweslihs, but from s broad view O: the question there can be no doubt but that the congress was right in urging the general govern ment to take hold of the arid lands and make them habitable.
