 It may be interesting to friends 10 know that for nearly five years MT. Broadhurst and John A. Dauy were in the employ of G. A. Hammond's silk company previous 10 his coming to Putnam. IL is no exaggeratien to say thut no two young men were ever more intimate in their relations. MT. Dady came to Putnam with Mir. Hammond, and when Hammond, knewlton & Co. required the services of boss dyer, what more natural sequence than that eChariiep should have ihe position. A few years later Samuel Rich joined them in the employ of the firm, mak- ing we may say complete triamsira- te in association which covered peril od of nearly ten years.
 It was frequently noted that during all these years it was difficult To recog- nize the difference In ages of about twenty years between the boys and Mr. Hammond, always so much to- gether, and always friendly, always wearing a smile--possibly at the ex. pense of one of the quartet. Later on 1t was natural that "Charlie' should meet the call of his father to join him at the Holland dye house, and that when his father laid by his life work, that the son should succeed as boss dy- CT of that concern. We may say that 1 during all these years there had never been a break in their social relations. The remaining three,G. A. Hammond, John A. Dady, and Samuel Rich, at tended the funeral in Willimantic,a and returned with the family to Putnam. MRS. ALICE cHAMPLIN
 died at the Day kimball hospital on Thursday of last week of typhoid pneumonia, aged si years. She was a sister of the late John k. Cogswell, and had been a resident of Putnam for 40 years.
