John Brown Cele bration.

The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Brown was celebrated May g at the house in Torrington in which the martyr was born on May 9, 1900. A number of people were pres ent and an informal program was car ried out, including display Of large number of John Brown relics. Patriot ic songs, of which "John Browns Body" was 8 prominent feature, were sung. From the historical sketch of John Brown, related by Rev T, o. Rich ards of West Torrington, president of the John Brown club, we gather the following points, which should be noted by our rising generation as the noted abolitionist was born only twentyone miles from Canaan.
 John Brown was born in Torrington, Conn.,. May g, 1900, and with his family removed to Hudson, Ohio when five years of age. In 1891 he married Dian the Lusk. He was appointed postmas- ter of Randolph, Penn. in 1895. His first wife died in August 1882 and year later he married Mary Anne Day. He returned to Ohio in 1885 and became a pronounced anti-slavery man. In 1846 he was a wool agent in Spring gfeld, Mass. A year later he planned with Frederick Douglass for negro insur. rection in the Virginia mountains. In 1849 Brown went to England as 8 wool agent. Associated himself with Gerrit Smith in plan to colonize negroes on Adirondack lands andremoYed his family to farm at North Elba, N. Y In 1854 his sons removed to Kansas and next year he removed there and became cap. tain of band of Free State rangers and fought several battles with the pro slavery bands. August 30. 1856 his son Frederick was killed by the pro-slayery forces. Brown won the battle of Osa watomie which gave him the name of Osawatomie Brown. In December he visited Boston and appeared before the Massachusetts legislature. He came to Collinsville in April 1857 and contract ed for thousand bikes. In May 1S5s he was elected commanders chief of { force of insurrectionary negroes and { constitution was adopted at Chatham Canada. In December he made slave liberating foray in Missouri. Ia 1855! in July he hired farm near Harper'i Ferry, Va., and in October captured Harper's Ferry with his band. Was at tackod by U. s. forces the next day wounded and captured. November was found guilty of treason and execu ted on December 3.
 The John Brown club voted to pur chase the birthplace of the hero, ani | preserye it.

HOG-WATERING DEVICE.

es thick. An iron rod, b, is fastened
to the bottom of this float and connects
with the valve at the bottom, which
closes the supply pipe when the bar
rel is filled. The escape pipe, c, leads
from this barrel to the watering bar
rel, Fig. 2. 1t will be readily seen that
the water in the barrels, if they are
set on level, will remain the same.
For the top of the watering barrel,
bolt 2x4 blocks together, as showr in
Fig. 3. This will give the hogs and pigs
free access to the water without any
danger of the smaller ones falling in
and being drowned. The supply pipe
and also the pipe leading to the trough
from the barrel containing the float
will be far enough below the surface
to prevent freezing, and it will be found
thai there are few nights cold enough
in winter, to freeze the watering barrel
if it is placed so deep in the ground
that no more than an inch or two pro-
jects above the surface. The other bar
rel, which can be placed outside the
pen, can be protected by banking with
straw or manure and hay. The supply
reservoir must be higher than the bar
rels, large tank being suitable. The
pipe where it leaves the tank enters the
ground at once and can readily be pro-
tected from freezing.-Orange Judd

Bruins Lonely VOyaxe Mt Sen

The Norwegian steamer Ceylon has
lately arrived in port, after voyage of
% days from Bilboa, Spain, with cargo
of iron ore. Capt. Hansen told the pilots
that he had encountered numerous ice
bergs. On one occasion he altered his
course to avoid one of the great noun
tains of ice. Soon afterward a fog set
tied down, and when it lifted the berg
was so close on the bow that collision
seemed inevitable. Squatting upon his
launches, at the very point of the berg
where the vessel would have struck, was
huge polar bear. The man at the
wheel by quick work managed to turn
the steamer in time to avoid a smash
up and, as he giided by, the bear on the
berg gave a howl of disappointment.
Evidently he had been imprisoned as
long as he wanted to be, for whsn he
saw his last chance of escape slipping
away from him he plunged into the wa
ter and swan toward the ship. His legs
were no match for steam, however, and
he was compelled to give up the chase.
The last seen of him he had climbed
upon the berg again and was waiting
for something to happen.-Philadelphia
Times.
