OLD WEsTFoRD HOUSE.
It is of Historic Note and Filled With
 Revolutionary Relics.


 Revolutionary Relics.
 In the village of Westford (Windham county in the extreme southwestern part of the village, stands an old farm house, which was occupied by Samuel Walker and family during the days of the Revolutionary war. Samuel enlist ed in the army and went to the war, leaving his family, which consisted of wife and ten children. He was the father of thirteen children, but three of them died in infancy.
 In the year 1894, while coming from grist mill where he had been to carry grain, he fell dead by the roadside, hav- ing died suddenly of what was supposed to have been heart disease. Samuel Walker was born September, 1748. He was married to Miss Alice Case of Ash ford, and, as the fruit of their marriage, they had thirteen children as mentioned above.
 After the death of Samuel in 1894 the widow and her children continued to re- side on the old homestead. and, later on, she married again and lived with her second husband until January g. 1927, when she died. After her death the children continued to reside on the old place, and it has been occupied by the descendants of Samuel Walker ever since. It Is now occupied by Mrs. Mari etta Bosworth, whose maiden name was Whiton, her mother, Lucy Walker, having married George Whiton. Her mother died sixteen years ago, and now Mrs. Bosworth and her children reside on the old place.
 The house is very ancient looking and is probably the oldest house in that sec tion of the country and contains four ireplaces, one of them the largest of any that is known anywhere It is sev- en feet and two inches long, four feet ] and six inches high, thirty-four inches deep and is composed of heavy stone. An oven for baking purposes sets in one corner of the high fireplace.
 The rooms in the house are very large and are six in number, with an attic, which runs the whole length of the house and which is divided into two parts.
 Mrs Bosworth has in her possession to-day many old relics of the Walker family and of the Revolutionary war; which have been seen by great many

 row.
 Tomorrow the machinery of Yale university will begin running on full time after the long holiday shut down. It is needless to say that Yale students have enjoyed the few days of grace vouchsafed to them for a breathing spell It is also probably true that many worthy soul of New Haven, who lives in a constant state of nervous prostration in view of and by reason of Yale university have also enjoyed the breathing spell and perchance may wish it had been longer. On the whole, how ever, New Haven will welcome back with open arms (fguratively speaking, of course) the sons of Old Ell.
 The city has not been left entirely desolate by the students during the ,nf- vers;ty vacation. Some of the students have remained here by force of habit, and some by force of circumstances. Of the latter class have been the students of the theological school who have been here for most of the vacation busy at their usual employment of absorbing theology.
 There have been few changes about the campus; none noticeable. The jan- itors about the various halls have be- gun the New Year with the usual vaca- tion house cleaning. The Yale janitors house cleaning is a unique specimen of domestic service. It consists for the most part in pulling the students fur niture in the center of the room with the carpet rolled in 0 bundle at the apex, and all else in the room inverted and diverted from their proper posi- tions. Woe befall the student who has not arranged to have his room "settIed" before his return.
 In many respects the best work of the college year is done by the students in the winter term. Football belongs to the glorious past. Baseball and boating belong to the future; also glorious, let it be hoped. What better time than now to put in a few. hard licks at Latin, Greek, mathematics and the sciences. Of course the fever of the junior prom enade has already begun to burn in the veins and pocketsbooks of the few: the many can't afford to foot promenade bills, and so have no excuse for catch ing the promenade fever. Yales prom enade week is the same old story told over and over each year. It amounts in its sum and substance to the emblazon- ing of the 5 symbol across the college year at Yale. History never repeats it. self so fully and so tediously as in this respect

 Information was received at the bu-i reau of navigation at Washington Sat urday that the steamer Tillie, hailing from New London, is at South Amboy, N. J., under suspicious circumstances. It is believed that the vessel was about to take part in a filibustering expedition bound for Cuba The collector at Perth Amboy was instructed by telegraph to keep close watch on the steamer and to report immediately any further sus- picion. The Tillie was built in New Ha- ven in 1862. Records in the treasury de- partment show that she is a steamer of AT tons, 147 feet long, and a horse-pow- CT of 250.
