WORN BY BURGOYNE
SWORD OF ENGLISH GENERAL is
IN AMERICA.
Gift to Col. Elisha Porter, of Hadley
Mass, 1t Has Been Treasured
as an Heirloom Since Revoiu-
tionary War.

One of the most interesting relics
of the revolutionary war in Massachu-
sets is sword formerly belonging
to Gen. Burgoyne, which was present
ed by him to Col. Elisha Porter, of
Hadley, and which is now in the pos
session of Col. Porter's great-grand-
son, Samuel D. Smith, of Hadley, says
the Boston Globe.
After Burgoyne's surrender at Sara
toga the prisoners, some 1000 in
number, were marched from Albany
to Boston, whence they were to be
sent to England on condition of their
not taking up arms against the
colonists again.
The Hessians we're sent by one
route and the English, under charge
of Col. Thomas Seymour, of Connec-
ticut by another. The latter route
was what was known as the Old Bay
road, and was pretty nearly the same
route as that now traversed by the
Massachusetts Central railroad.
When the prisoners reached Hadley
they were quartered at the foot OF
what is now West street, near the
Connecticut river.
Burgoyne was ill, and Col. Porter,
who lived where his great-grandson
now lives, invited him to his home
to rest over night. The next morning,
before the general left for Boston, he
gave Col. Porter his sword, which has
been in the family ever since.
Col Porter charged his son never
to allow it to go out of the family,
the son repeating the charge to his
son, and he to the present members
of the family, Samuel d. Smith and
his sister, Miss Lucy Smith, who prize
Gen. Burgoyne's gift very highly.
The sword is what is known as
dress sword, or rapier. 1t is beau
tiful piece of workmanship, the handle
being of silver exquisitely wrought.
and the blade of finely tempered steel
covered with delicate tracery.
On one side of the blade near the
hilt is the kings seal, with the we'll
pense;" on the other side is crown
and the letters &c. r." which stand
for "Georgius Rex
Authorities who have examined the
sword say they have never seen these
letters on a sword before, and sug-
gest that it was presented to Gen.
Burgoyne by the king, with whom he
was great favorite.
The original scabbard, which was
of leather, was silver mounted. This
scabbard long since crumbled to
pieces, and has been replaced by an
other on which the original silver
mountings are placed. They contaitl
the words: ''Loxhaus, Royal EX-
change"
This sword is all the more intel-
esting from the fact that it was last
worn at the battle of Saratoga, which,
without doubt, was the decisive battle
of the revolutionary war, for as the
result of this battle the French were
led to send money and troops 10 the
colonists at a time when they were
most needed.
After Burgoyne's soldiers re cached
Boston congress ordered officers and
men sent to Georgia. Many OF the
soldiers settled in that state.
Burgoyne was allowed to return to
England the next spring, where he
soon entered parliament and became
a stanch friend of the colonists.

THE TICKING OF THE CLOCK.
Soothing Company to Some SIeepers
Cause of Wakefulness in Others.

Not all people," said the jeweler,
like the ticking of a clock; it is a
pleasant sound to most people, but
not to all.
Some people, clock lovers these,
couldn't sleep without clock in the
same room. Its ticking is company
and it scares away the spooks. Such
people would wake up if the clock
should stop in the middle of the
night.
But there are other people who
can't sleep with clock in the same
room and who, if they found them
selves in strange place anywhere
with a clock in their sleeping apart
ment, would stop the clock before
they went to bed.
'Of course there is much of habit
in this; but we have our fancies about
clocks, rs we do about all things
