JUNGLE JOHN" NC DOwELL.

John Mcdowell celebrated his 95th
birthday, last Saturday, February Is.
"Uncle John" was recently reelected
treasurer of the Bethel Hat Makers
society, an Office he has held the past
rs years. Mr. Mcdowell enjoys very
good health and among his friends is
good company, and is still fond of tell
ing stories. Mr. Mcdowell was born in
New York City near Hester and Null
berry streets, in 1909, the year the first
passenger steamboat ran up and down
the North river. At the age of II
years he came to Norwalk on sail boat
and from thence walked to Bethel. He
hired out to Lewis Taylor, a halter,
and learned to nappe hats. He soon
became so expert at the business he
could nappe more hats in day than
the best workmen. In 1852 mapping
went out Of date and for time Mr. Nc
Dowell went into other business. He
peddled hats and manufactured mat
ches. The latter did not prove to be a
bonanza. OFF and on he worked at
hat sizing. When he was 80 years old
mapped ladies' hornets came into fash
ion, when Mr. Mcdowell went to the
kettle again and did full days work
and was as spry as the youngest boy in
the shop. Now his working days are
over. He has lived to ripe old age.

To person driving about town this

occasionally, as every one using horse

place in town, lies by the side of the

The So is paid just the same and the
travelling public cannot be accommO-
dated. The selectmen have been asked
repeatedly to put this trough in proper
conditions; apparently no notice has
been taken of it, at least nothing has
been done. Is it advisable to daily
longer with such serious need? The
public has been very patient. The
time may come when patience will
cease to be a virtue.
