says in part: 81 read with a great deal
of interest everything in your semi
centennial number, and, although
long absent from the place of my
birth, the scenes of ny boyhood came
back to me very wildly as 1 read Mr..
LYcett's account of the old No.
school, and the exploit of locking the
door and hiding the key of the school
room. You will observe my name in
the list of the senior class of 1857.

you probably remember. Nearly 30
years ago l became an officer in the
U. S. Navy, and am now Medical Di-
rector, with the assimilated army rank

leisure hours to write and has been
interested in compiling much interest

included with which are many items
of local interest. The first series has

preparation and research and is quite
valuable. DIR. David r. Streets who
