The present commissioners were appointed by our deceased Governor, George l.. Lilley, and are anxious to awaken and stimulate public interest in this historic camp. To this end, they solicit articles of interest pertaining to revolutionary times from any one willing to denote them to the state, and would also like to hear from anyone whose ancestors were at the camp during the winter of privation and suffering spent there, so that as complete a list as possible of this "old guard" 1nay be compiled. Portraits of either or any of the brigade commanders, Putnam, Mcdowell, Poor, Parsons, and Hunting ton, are especially desired. if donors wish to retain the original, the Com missioners will have copies made. Pictures of any of the lesser officers or privates would also be welcomed. Thous- ands of people, many from far off states, visit this old camp every, year and 1t would be hard to find a more interesting place for days outing. The nearest station is at Bethel, on the Berkshire division of the Consolidated Railroad. The camp is 21e miles from the station, and conveyance can be readily obtained. Upon the grounds at all times may be found an attendant, provided by the State, to show visitors the many points of interest. and meals may also be obtained. The present Commissioners are: W. H. Burr, president, Westport; c. E. Keith. president, Bridgeport: w. H. Hill, secretary, Bedding; G. l.. Rockwell, treasurer, Ridgefeld; E. A. Hodge, auditor, Danbury; I. M. Bar tram, Sharon; 0. W.

Seminoles bury their dead on top
Of the ground after wrapping them
in blankets. but always leave the top
Of the head exposed. They build a
pen over the body and usually chink
it with earth. When his squaw dies
the husband wears his shirt until it
rots off, which is not strikingly dis
tinctive. When the husband dies
the squaw doesn't comb her hair for
three months. Little reverence is
shown for the dead When Tom

in which Washington was said to
have spent a night. 1t was in 1899.

there we're certain things about his
stay at the Milford tavern which he
did not enjoy. The supper set be-
fore him consisted Of boiled meat
and potatoes. He was not pleased
with the meal and asked for bowl
Of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and a broken
pewter spoon with which to eat it.
Have YOU no better spoons than
this?" asked General Washington.
