CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS
WORKING FOR CELEBRATION
Effort to Get Battalion of Artillery
From Forts-Midshipmen and Ma
rines for Parade.

Congressman Higgins writes a local
friend as follows:
] hope and believe Norwich will have
fitting celebration.
l am busy at this end interviewing
the president and his secretary on the
details of his trip to Norwich; arrang-
ing for battalion of artillery to come
from the forts about New London;
trying to get the midshipmen, who. 1
am told, are to be in New London at
about that time, and seeing what can
be done towards getting a detachment
of marines to also parade; So though
far from the scene of activity, I am
trying to do my part in cooperating
with the committees and carrying out
their suggestions Mrs. Higgins and

Gettysburg last week. and greatly en-
Joyed the trip, and in going over the
field, now marked by thousands of
monuments. What seemed a strange
coincidence occurred. Last Sunday
morning | walked from the union line
at the Bloody Angle across the field
Pickett charged the third day and to
the site Of the Bliss house and barn
You will recall that this house was
about midway the field and occupied
by confederate sharpshoOters. The
Fourteenth Connecticut volunteer in
fantry were ordered to drive out the
sharpshooters and burn the house and
barn, which they did in the face Of
an awful storm Of shot and shell. The
site of the house and barn is now
marked by monuments. Within a few
rods of the house. in a ploughed field
found a bullet said to be a union
bullet because 1t has three rings, while
the confederate bullet has two. As
General Sedgwick on that day com
manded the Third corps and was
Connecticut man, and our local post is
named after him, and the Fourteenth
Connecticut was the regiment detailed
for that perilous duty, which they so
effectively accomplished, I thought
Sedgwick post would perhaps value
the find, and l have offered to turn it
over to them, if they want it. Found

of the house forty-six years after the
battle. The senate is making haste
