A writer in recent issue of the New Haven Register says of Ethan Allen, the hero of Ticonderoga, who by the way, was born in Litchfield, that it was one of his peculiar beliefs that he should live again on earth after his death in the form of handsome white horse. It would probably be difficult to verify the accuracy of the old hero's belief. In political life, however, it sometimes happens that an old war horse is turned out to grass.

termination | beg leave, through
