 Joseph Lyons, a barber who had been employed by J. J. Clark, hired a wheel of H. Chapman & Go. to go to Willimantic for Sunday and the Fourth, paying for the wheel in ad- vance. AS Lyons did not return on Tuesday enquiries were made by tele- phone. It was learned that Lyons had been in Willimantic with the wheel. George Stevens, employed by Chapman & Co.,, went to that city on Wednesday, and it was soon learned that Lyons had sold the wheel on the Fourth to Joseph Bergeron, a plumb CT, for $5, but in the meantime had stolen the wheel from the man to whom he sold it and had shipped it by express to Chapman & Co.,, who received the same before Stevens re- turned. Captain Richmond of Willi- mantle found Lyons at work in bar ber shop at Baltic Wednesday evening and took him to Willimantic, where he was tried before Judge Arnold on Thursday morning. Lyons pleaded guilty to stealing the wheel and was fined, $10 and costs, aggregating $25. The barber in Baltic for whom Lyons was at work at the time of his arrest paid the fine, and Lyons went back to Baltic to work. As Chapman 6 Go. had recovered their wheel they did not press the prosecu- tion. Lyons while here made good impression, and his actions are sur prising to those who have met him.
 The following is list of revolu- tionary soldiers who were in the con- pany of Capt. Thomas Lawson of Union, in the campaign against Bur- goyne. They served from Aug. 23 to Nov. 5, 1777. This list is taken from the pay-rolls of the company, several copies of which were found in the papers handed down by Capt. Lawson. It was only year or two ago that I found out that these were the only copies in existence of the list of soldiers in that company. They are now deposited in the state library in Hartford, the librarian of which, George Goddard, is taking such keen interest in gathering and preserving all revolutionary and other historical papers, which will be of great value and interest in the future. He is having these documents carefully bound in silk paper, so there is no danger of their being torn or muti- lated. As there is SO much interest now in revolutionary. ancestry, this list, which has never been published before, will doubtless be highly ap- preciated, especially by descendants of these soldiers.
