 An execution was recently issued in favor of Joseph Barselow of Stafford against H. O. Burgess and wife, formerly of this town. The debt was some $6O, the costs, not including town record fees, $9427. The value of the property lev fed upon was appraised at one dollar. The court was Joseph Chandler, the off Ger Louis Helm, the justice of the peace applied to call out the appraisers, w. F. Essex, and the appraisers were G. B. Marble, Jos. Matteson and N. D. Royce. All the money spent on warrantee, quit claim and mortgage deeds, various kinds of writings, law suits, etc., concerning the John A. Brown place since it passed out of his hands would have helped, in a degree, to pay of the national debt. -zHenry c. Woodworth, a native of Coventry, died last Friday morning, aged seventy-six years. His funeral was at tended from the Baptist church Sunday noon. He was 8 member of Nathan Hale post, G. A. R., of South Coventry, hay ing been a member of Go. B, 21st regi- ment Conn. vols. in the late war. Details from the local post and the w. R. o. were in attendance at the funeral, while the the bearers were comrades from this post. He was good neighbor and in his deal ngsendeavOred to be honorable and just. It Is worthy of mention, perhaps, that the deceased was the first member of the G. A K. who died and was buried in town; also that he enlisted and went to the front at time when the country was wildly calling for men to face rifles; and cannon of the advancing: victorious southern hoses.
