generosity the old stone Jail was convert
ed into a public library and minera
museum, was observed with appropriate

torical address would be given this year

feature was substituted at late hour
by the president of the association, Mis-
Persis n. Andrews, who read extract
from the diary of her mother, the lat
Mrs. Persis Sibley Andrews, as recorded
in 1916. Mrs. Andrews was the wife o
the late Congressman Charles Andrews
who represented this district in tn
National House OF Representatives il
the thirty-second Congress in 1882
Mrs Andrews was woman of rare per
ception and ability and her record o
events make decidedly interesting en-
tertainment and valuable side-ligh
upon the history of earlier years includ
ing important events like the Mexical
war, the beginning of construction upol
the Atlantic aud st. Lawrence (now tn
Grand Trunk) railroad, the early days a
Mount Mica, the Millerite delusion, etc
