Early Customs.

Mr.. Editor:-In the early years of
the Norwich and Worcester railroad
there were two curious customs which
! recall Five minutes before the
trains were to start the station agent
Ca colored man named James Avery
used to ring a large bell on top of
tower twenty feet tall as signal to
delinquents to hurry up! This custom
was retained as late as 1852.
1t was customary to give to each
new locomotive the name of a promi-
nent director of the road; and ! we'll
recall seeing the old wood-consuming
engines go putting by (under the
bridges i'll the rear of DR.. Farnsworth's
and Captain Writings residences in
Chelsea), bearing the names of Joel
White, John P. Rockwell, Newton Per-
kins, etc.
Trains running to Allyn's Point to
connect with boat for, New York stop
ped on the covered bridge across the
Shetucket to discharge and take on
passengers. There was a waiting room
below the flight of steps, but no station
platform other than the covered bridge
This colored man Avery, above re-
ferred to, left the railroad company
and took a position as trusted en-
ploye in the Office of the Illinois Cen
trail Railway company in New York.
His skin was so intensely black that
it was remarked by his employer one
day: I'VE shall have to put a chalk
mark on Avery to distinguish him ~

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Preserve the Landmarks.

Mr.. Editor: -Many of ~'us VINO
thought we knew something OF the
notable dwellings and sites of this an
cient town are reminded of the limited
extent Of our knowledge by the ad-
mirable work of the historical COM
mittee Of the 250th anniversary.
The landmarks they have placed up
on dwellings and trees brings to our
ears the most enthusiastic comment,
not only from transient guests, but
from many resident citizen. They
are most valuable object lessons in
local history which 1t seems as IL we
could i'll spare.
1t would not be surprising If the
owners of some of the houses or trees
on which these terse little biographies
have been placed should regard them
as, to a certain extent, a DETACHMENT
of their premises. They may, how
ever, confidently feel that the general
public do not so regard them and
would be profoundly grateful If they
could be allowed to remain and so
make Norwich more interesting than
ever before, alike to strangers and
citizens. .
