THAT BoTToMLEsS PIT AT TowANTIc.
The swamp at Towantic, on the New
England road, is still source OF trouble
to the company. Although the gravel
trains are running night and day the
trestle still continues to settle. Immense
trees have been used as braces to the
trestle until there can be, gravel enough
gotten there to make it firm.

"REMINISCENCES OF PUTNAM PARK,

"REMINISCENCES OF PUTNAM PARK.
Quite an Improvement has been made
at Putnam park. The draining of the
Maple swamp, when done, will be large
ly used for picnic purposes. The drink
ing fountain and the extension of the
walk at Phillips Cave are all improve
ments in their way. We would suggest
that a few stone be taken from the cave,
which obstructs the passage through
for ladies. Your correspondent remem-
beers well of hearing an old shoemaker,
well known in town by the name of Will
lis Monson, say that he lost an old bulls
eye watch in Phillips Cave. He was
bending over to look down into a hole
called the cellar when it slipped from his
pocket, and, as he related the circum-
stance, it went down, down, to an un-
known depth, and was never recovered.
Probably the old watch lays there yet
and some lucky lad may find it after tax
ing quiet rest of so years or more. A
real good search was never made in the
remembrance of the writer. We bows
used to have good deal of superstition
when we took peep down into Phillips
cellar. We used to imagine we saw
bones of some dead Indian, more likely
to have been the bones of dead sheep
that was drawn in by some fox or other
wild animal that inhabited the great
wood in those days. Your>correspondent
has no doubt but that the old bulls eye
lays there yet. 1t would help make up
the collection of old relics. A thorough
| search may bring it to light.
