THIRTY YEARS AGO.
items of local interest taken from the columns
 of The Press, thirty years ago.l
June T, 1877.

Ellis has opened his grocery store in the new building he has just put up next to Fosters block on Main street.
 Work has been commenced upon the new freight house of the N. l.. N. Railroad O.. which is to be of wood, 1OOx3O, being forty feet longer than the old, and to be located upon about the same site, but extending farther to the east.
 The building of the Granite Mill Co.'S dam has been let by contract to MT. Redfield of New Haven, who is now engaged upon MT. Pinney's dam at Glynville. The dam is to be of the same height as before and in the same place, but to be thicker than the old and laid in cement The pour way is to be 100 feet in length. The stones will be quarried from the pas ture of L. w. Crane, near the resi- dence of W. R. Small.
 The meeting to consider the pur- chase of the steam fire engine for the borough on Saturday last was not a large one, and the vote to purchase was a strong one, notwithstanding the absence at the time of voting of most of those who had been prominent in urging the purchase. MT. Leshure, the chief engineer of the Springfield fire department, who was present, was called upon to give an account of the engine: She was built by Jeffers of Pawtucket, R l., in 1865, for the city of Springfield, cost $4O0O and had always done good work. When Stafford Springs opened negotiations, sympathy with the circumstances of the place moved the powers, and he was instructed to let the machine go there for 5000. The meeting ad- journed immediately after the passage of the vote to buy the engine.

A Monument to Her Oath.

In the market place of Devices, a town in Wiltshire, England, there stands a monument erected by public subscription as a warning to falsifiers and irreverent persons, to commemo- rate the tragic death of a woman who, according to the inscription on the stone, was stricken dead as a punish ment for her blasphemy. The story, as told among the country folk, is that one of the village women, becoming in- volved in a dispute over money with a merchant in the Corn Exchange, called on the Almighty, with a fearful oath, to strike her dead if her statement was false. As she left the market place on her way home she fell dead upon the spot where the monument now stands, her perjured gains being afterward found in her tightly clinched hand.

 At the close of these remarks sne gathering broke up and lunch was nartakeu of. At 10 o'clock all as- sembled at the church to continue the exercises as arranged by program. There was singing by the choir and recitations by the children, including a flag salute. The children acquitted themselves with much credit to them- selves and to the teachers who had them in training. The teachers, Miss Pease. Miss Pearson, Miss Boswortn and Miss Palmer, each trained their own scholars. The young and pretty Misses Christine Miller, Ruth Kendall and Alice Carpenter, deserve special credit for the excellence of their per formauces. D. P. Corbin, formerly of Union, but now of New York city, the donor of the soldiers monument, and for whom the post was named' was present. The exercises were con- cluded by the address of the day by Oomrade William D. Gourlay of Governors Island, N. Y. Comrade Gourlay's theme was a brief review of President Lincoln's call to arms in 1861. and was reminiscent of those days of activity, which appeared to give great satisfaction to the veterans and to the audience. Then he spoke of the lessons gathered from the pursuance and results of the war, it's oalamities and it's final blessings. But the main and particular point in his address was patriotism. Comrade Gourlay is g forceful, eloquent and dramatic speaker, and of excellent and resonant voice. The address gave the utmost satisfaction, and at it's close was warmly applauded and the post duly expressed it's thanks.
