Historic Matters.
Every avenue and square in tho yard
bears n historic name. The first avenue
is named for Rear Admiral John A.
Dahlgren, the second for Commodore
Lewis Warrington of the war Of 1912,
the third for Commodore Charles Nor
ris Of the Same war; the fourth for the
immortal Commodore Hull, and so on.
The list Of commandants of tho yard is
also full Of interest The first appointee,
Captain Thomas Tiugey, took the place
Jan. 22, 1900, held it 20 years and died
in office. Amelancholy interest attaches
to tho record Of Captain Beverly Ken
non, whowas appointed by the first Pres
ident Harrison, and two years later was
killed by the bursting Of the Pcacemak-
or ON the Princeton at the time when
two members of the cabinet and various
other persons were killed. The sixteenth
commmdant was Captain Franklin
Buchanan, appointed in May, 1859, who
went south when tho civil war began
and became famous in the Confederate
navy. Rear Admiral Dahlgron was the
twenty-second and died in Office in 1870.
The present commmdaut, Captain j. A.

a iIcro's Saber.

Our navy department is rich in relies
and memorials Of many kinds, but the
only ones kept at this yard arc tho old
guns mentioned, BY somebody's awk-
wardnoSs the United States failed to be-
come the owner of one very interesting
relic, which was, however, n few weeks
ago presented to the Annapolis Naval
academy, and that is doubtless as well.
This is the famous battle saber Of Cap
tain Samuel Chester Reid, who COM
manded the brig-of- General Arm
strong and won the astonishing victory
ut Fayal, Azores, in September, 1914.
With this saber Captain Reid, in hand
to hand fight, killed the first lieutenant
of the British frig0to Rota end wounded
several others. The blood Of that COM
bat was never washed Off the saber and
is still Slightly visible. AT the ball given
to Lafayette in New York in 1924 Cap
tain Reid wore this sword for tho last
time, it is believed, after which ii was
laid away as II precious memorial. His
son, Colonel Samuel c. Reid, rendered
it as free gift to the United States,
and in March, 1890, Senator voorhees,
of the committee on the library offered
a joint resolution providing for the ac-
ceptanco of the sword and the striking
Of Il memorial gold medal to be pre-
sented to the son. The latter part Of the
resolution was opposed SO vigorously
that the matter was delayed some three
years, when Colonel Reid grew indig-
nant and withdrew tho offer. A yom
later he presented it to the academy, 1t
is the Judgment Of our naval historians
that the injury inflicted on the British
forces at Fayal resulted in such delay
that they did not reach New Orleans till
after General Jackson had had time tC
prepare for them. Otherwise, say
Cooper, it. is likely the city would have
fallen without u blow and possibly the
whole history of the west have been
changed

BAKERS PRIZE BALLOONS.

One more of the balloons sent up by A. G. Baker, the Hawleyville furniture man, was captured before May l, Rich ard Egan of Botsford being the fortu- nate man. It was one of the balloons sent up from Newtown and was found in Huntingtown district, in the south part of the town. The prize was a childs' fancy rocker. Another balloon was found by J. D. Barton of West Goshen, but it was minus tag. It was probably one of the trial balloons sent up from Litchfield. Nine out of the 20 balloons sent out have been found. This balloon business has proved a great card for MT Baker. To begin with he advertised the ascensions judiciously, and in, the territo- ry covered, every man has heard of Ba- ker, the furniture man, and his balloons. Verify It pays to advertise.

ARBOR DAY AT TASHUA.

Friday, May i, being Arbor day. the parishioners of Christ church parish duly celebrated the event by planting trees around the church and repairing fences, blowing, grading, thus beautifying the rectory grounds. They also laid in the rectory new floors, sills, replacing the old time sash of 24 panes with new of one glass each, papering the interior and making provision for painting exterior of house, building veranda, making the for mer carriage house over, and last but not least, planting the garden and lot with potatoes. As each one present did their utmost to outdo the other, it would be unfair to mention names, but suffice to say that when some 26 ladies and ? gen. | tlemen sat down to sumptuous Iepast | at noon, full justice was done to the boun- tiful meal and enough left over for SUD- per, so plentiful had been the outpouring of larders. This parish, one of the old est in Fairfield county, possesses 8 fine church edifice, rectory with glebe of sev- eral acres and an invested fund, besides earnest and devoted church workers. The services are conducted by Rev Alexander Hamilton, in connection with his parish es at Easton and Weston. MT Hamil- | toms postoffice is Lyons Plains. John White is suffering from a lame | hand, caused by the kick of horse. Mrs Eliza Sears, 94 years and three months old, is now able to walk two and three miles day, while the girls of the present day want horse harnessed to go half mile.

ON THE RAILROAD.

The New York and New England road had wreck at Southford, last Friday night. While passing the Southford de- pot, freight train parted, throwing two cars of the track, one loaded with cop- per and the other with flour. The train was long one, with an engine in front and one behind pushing. The remainder of the train went on all right, and the wrecker was sent down from Hartford, and by morning the track was cleared. The accident luckily happened where there was no delay to other trains, as they ran on the siding.
