Tablet Unveiled

In accordance with vote of tho members of the First Baptist church a bronze tablet has been put in th' church in memory of one of it's beloved 1 diseased members and benefactress Mrs. Ellen E. Browning,' late oi Packerville, who died some two year. ago, leaving by her will bequest tc the church here, where she retained her membership, the sum of Sl4,000 This tablet was unveiled after the morning service last sunday,
 It bears the following inscription:
 Erected April Is, 1911 in memory of ELLEN F.. BROWNING Member of This Church In Commemoration Born lSi3--Died 1909
 of the Munitlcent Gift Bequeated by her 10 be perpetuated IS the
 Ellen k. Browning fund The tablet Is of solid bronze 24 36 inches, and is on the south wall of the auditorium.
 The committee in charge of selecting and installing the tablet was pr. and Mrs. J. R. Kent, II. O. Preston and wife and Henry l.. Converse and wife.
 The curtains which hid the tablet from view were drawn aside by two little girls: Wilhelmina Frost and Helen Thompson. pr. J. B. Kent, chairman of the committee, made an address in which he said 1t was the custom for public editices to place on their walls portraits or tablets in com memoration of the lives of those whose generosity has made possible the establishment of such places. That such memorials attract the attention of one visiting such place. He spoke of little church in Bermuda that is of especial interest to strangers for its historic association, the inscriptions on tablets of brass and copper, telling its silent story of difficulties and priva- tions under which the church was erected. Deeds thus recorded will endure for all time.
 He thought it very fitting that on Easter morning the church should un- veil memorial tablet to one who was a generous helper while living and whose love for her church was such that she voluntary bequeathed to it almost lher entire estate to be per petuated as memorial fund which would forever bear her name.
 He then in few words outlined the work of the committee in charge of executing the selection .and erection of the tablet. Prayer was offered, fol- lowed by special singing and benedic- ton.

Elks' Fair.

"lf you are ready we are, say the committee in charge of the Elks' Fair which opens in Union hall Monday night and continues the rest of the week, including Saturday afternoon. All arrangements are complete for the grand opening Monday night and a large crowd is anticipated.
 The fair is expected to eclipse any thing of similar nature ever attempt. ed in this city and is of more than To- cal interest as visitors are expected from various points in all directions. Lots of pretty booths, full of pretty things and tended by pretty ladies, in front of which the crowds will gather making merry boulevard of fun and gaiety. Refreshments for all, music and dancing will fill out each evening One will have chance to make new friends and acquaintances and renew old.
 There has been large expenditure of money to make the week a success and 1t is hoped that the en leavor of Putnam Lodge to liven up the social atmosphere of the city will be appre' ciated and that appreciation shown by large patronage. They have perfect plans to entertain you but il is for you to say whether or not you wish to be entertained. It is at least safe to promise plenty of wholesome diversion and fun and that is what the fair Is for. The Elks are fraternal society but they are also a philanthropical asso- citation to considerable degree, and the poor of the city have appreciated their acts of charity and benevolence many times generously bestowed. So that supporting this event they have planned has tripple aspect, enjoy ment for one's self, assisting the order as an order, and indirectly assisting future charitable work in the city. Every one is cordially invited to at tend, the oftener the better for all con- cerned.

Where the Putnam Wolf Hung

Incident to the death a few days since of Philo T. kingsbury, at his home, near Elliott Station, in the town of Pomfret, 1t is of interest to note that his father WAS one of the party who was with General Israel Putnam when the latter figured in the historical incl dent of killing the wolf at the den tn Pomfret. It may also be set down that after the now famous feat had been accomplished the party adjourned to the Kingsbury home, where cele- bration of the killing was held, the wolf being hung from a peg in great beam that ran across the full width of the house, after the manner of con struction In vogue in those days.
 This peg has long since been removed from the beam, has been silver banded and is now In possession of a brother of the recently deceased MT. Kingsbu- " in California. The beam itself has been removed from the old house and now serves as a joist in the corncrib on the place, and frequently tourists who know of the matter come to the Kings bury farm and crawl under the crib and get chip of the big stick for souvenir.
 Philo T. kingsbury was S7 years of age. His wife was one of the Aver family, we'll known in this section of the state for generations. On the old Aver place, close by the kingsbury place, was built the first race track half mile-ever laid down in Gonnec- licut.

Congregational Church Notes

The Easter services on Sunday last were of great interest. The sunrise prayer meeting, conducted by Miss Florence c. Sargent, sounded the key. note for the day, joyous and reveren- tial. At the regular morning service large congregation listened to the ex- cellent sermon by the pastor ,the theme of which was the resurrection. At the close of the sermon the choir sang the cantata, "Easter Eve and Morn" by Stevenson, giving the sstory of the res- urrection in song, soloists and chorus doing admirable work. In the even- ing the Bible school gave concert, the recitations and music being unusually good. The decorations were of noun tain laurel, palms and Easter lilies. The results evidenced the untiring work of the committees.
 The Pilgrims of Avilion are plan- ming for food sale in the near future for the purpose of raising funds for the work of their organization. Give these young people your assistance and pat ronage and thus encourage them in their efforts.
 At the meeting of the Ladies' Social Circle last Wednesday afternoon 1t was voted to donate to the parish com- mittee $50 for the expenses of the ec- clesiastic society and S20 to the Queens of Avilion for their assistance at the Easter supper.

Superior Court.

Judge Howard J. Curtis has handed down decision in the case of Peter Turgeon of Danielson ys Frederick S. Woodward of Danielson, in favor of Turgeon, the case being primarily one of title to certain part of a certain wood lot in the town of Brooklyn, the ownership of which certain part was in dispute, Turgeon, some time since, having secured an injunction prevent ing Wood ward from exercising his claim of ownership of the strip in dis pute, which strip is relatiyelytnot val uable. The case, however, has proved a very interesting one, having been twice tried in the superior court for Windham county, the first finding of this court in favor of Turgeon, having been appealed to the supreme court on a claim of error. The supreme court decided that there had been errcr in excluding evidence and ordered new trial, which was recently held here, Judge Curtis decision being again fla vorable to Turgeon, the injunction be- ing sustained.
