BI-CENTENNIAL ECHOES.
 New Orleans, La.,


 To the Editor: I desire to extend congratulations to the committee of the Bi-Centennial celebration that took place at New Milford in June. As I have just received a copy of your valuable paper from my sister, Clara E. Simons, who seems to be a subscrib- CT for the same, 1 find it gives an elaborate account of the great cele- bration. I wish to express, as being one of the. last probably to express myself upon the matter, 1 will say last but not least, allow me to mingle my heart fest good wishes for the admirable work of the committee. I must say, joy to my heart, is the news of the ad- vancement of the town of my child hood. Once a student of the town, next soldier from the town; feel an interest therein. I therefore wish the public spirited men of the town of New Milford. Godspeed on in their good work, because working for things that are vital to the soul. I be- lieve they can do much that will be the very greatest value to the cause of good citizenship; for in the last anal ysis is the fundamental requisite of good citiznship from the standpoint of the country is that man should have the very qualities which make him of real value in the home, in the church, in all the higher relationship of life.
 My greatest pleasure is to write to a paper that gives the details of the town of my childhood. To let those of ,I<, have grown old, and many others who may think I am dead know that the colored volunteer of the Rebellion of 1861-5 is yet alive and fine as of old. And when the writer departs this life let my grave be numbered among those of my comrades who lie dreaming here. And in conclusion allow me to say to the public spirited men of New Milford: May life deal gently and kindly with them; may the cloud of diversity never obscure the sun of their prosperity; and may their life journey be through pleasant paths and loving lands, and let all their constitu- ents remember and amid the impedi- ments with which corruption may op- pose, and the dejections to which dis appointments may oppress them; let it | be remembered they have acquired a name that will be cherished by the future generations long after they have been enrolled among the inhabi- tants of Heaven.-[George A.
