A Revolutionary Heirloom.

recent issue of the Rochester
(Minn.) Post and Record contained a
halftone picture, with story. of a Bible
owned by Mrs. f. A. Knowlton of
Rochester, which is an heirloom of the
Revolutionary period. Mrs Knowlton
the late b. w. Blake of this county
brother of ]. d. Blake, who used to be
in business in Brattleboro. She attend
ed Leland and Gray seminary in Towns
bend The article was as follows:
Mrs, f. A Knowlton of this city,
has in her possession a Bible which Is
not alone a family heirloom, but Is as
ISOLATED with vivid incidents of the Rev
dictionary period, which makes the sa-
cred book a rare historical relic. The
Bible was originally owned by Increase
Blake, great grandfather of Mrs. Knowl-
ton, who was one of the fifty men in
the Boston tea party.
'On Nov. 2S, 1773, the Dartmouth ship
arrived with ia chests of tea on board.
Shortly after the Eleanor and Beaver
arrived. These three vessels were
moored to the same wharf. Seven
thousand people had gathered at the old
South church where Samuel Adams, Jo-
seph Quincy and others made addresses,
and II was resolved that the tea should
not be permitted to land. Forty or
fifty men, of whom Increase Blake was
one, disguised as Indians. gathered in
the printing office, and at the signal of
the Mohawk war whoop, they rushed to
the wharf. followed by the crowd,
boarded the ship. opened the chests and
threw the tea in the harbor, 342 chests,
value at 1900 pounds. According to
the traditions of the Blake family, In
crease Blake walked from the ship to
the shore on the tea.
1T was during these troublous times
that Mrs. Increase Blake, the great
grandmother of Mrs. Knowlton, was
reading her Bible, seeking as 1t were
some comfort from Gods holy word,
when an Officer of the British army no.
ticed her and said: Madam, / will give
you something to remember me by,
and drew his sword twice across the
page, making cross, the torn leaf in
the book recording the effects. The BIZ
BILE was open at Judith, and the rent
Is at the head of chapter six.
"Mr, Blake, who originally owned the
Bible was buried in the old Boston GEM
etery, which was later converted into
what is now the Boston common, and
the Bible, with its unique history, has
been handed down in the family. Mrs.
Knowlton being the present possessor.
Mrs. Knowlton was a Blake, and Is de-
scended from a brother of Admiral
Blake of Cromwell's army"

STREAM STOCKING.
Commissioner Ttcomb Issues Pamphlet
on Important Subject.

State Fish and Game Commissioner j.
G. Titcomb announces in a pamphlet
just issued that brook trout, steelhead
trout, lake trout, landlocked salmon and
Chinook salmon will be raised by the
state this season, and may be obtained
for stocking public waters by applying
to him at Lyndonville, one blank being
allowed for each stream or water 1T is
desired to stock. All applications for fish
to be planted in 1912 must be in the COM
missioners office not later than March 30
of that year, the number of fish assigned
depending on the size of the stream and
the number of fish available for dis
trbution. Fish to be planted in public
waters will be delivered by the state free
of charge to the applicants nearest rail-
road station. Commissioner Titcomb
calls attention to the fact that fish may
be obtained from the federal government
by making application through the YER
mont congressman or through the state
commissioner, and that applications to
both state and the federal governments
may be made for fish to stock the same
waters.
The question of whether streams must
be stocked before April IS in order to
make posting lawful has arisen so fire.
quently that Mr.. Titcomb has referred 1t
TO the attorney general whose opinion is
to the effect that any person who has
stocked a stream this year may consider
that his posting holds good for year
from the date the fish were planted.

MISS MARY A. gibson.

The many friends of the family
of the late Calvin p. ellison, all
over the country, but especially in
Chesterfield and Brattleboro, were
death of Miss Mary A. ellison. Miss Gil
son had been in poor health the past
ten years, within five years had sub
mitted to three surgical operations and
her mind undoubtedly gave way under
the strain of her physical sufferlngs.
She had been confined to her bed sew
eral days but Tuesday was about the
house Early Tuesday evening, she
walked unnoticed out of the old Smith
homestead in West Chesterfield, N. H.,
and plunged into the Connecticut river,
only a few rods away. Her absence was
noticed In a few moments, the tracks
from the house indicated the direction in
which she had gone, and the body was
recovered within short time.
Miss ellison was the eldest of the three
children of the late Calvin p. ellison and
Ann E. (Streeter) ellison and was born
In West Chesterfield Dec q, 1867. Her
home was in West Chesterfield from her
birth until 1897. when the family moved
to Brattleboro. Her mother died Feb.
Z, 1901, and her father, widely known in
business, Grand Army and Masonic cir
cles, died June 16, 1904. After his death
Miss ellison made her home in West
Chesterfield with her relative and inti-
hi"lS lIleHu, MISS Ellen SHlltI, at lne
homestead which had been in the Smith
family five generations Miss Smith
died March IA of >the present year, and
Miss ellison came to the home of her
sister, Mrs. Henry r. Brown, in Brattle-
| boro, remaining here 10 weeks. She
then went back to West Chesterfield to
| stay through the summer and fall with
| her intimate friend Mrs. Lucy W. Ash
| ley, whose home was with the late Miss
| Ellen Smith Is years and previously with
the ellison family. Miss ellison planned
to come here next week to be with her
sister at Thanksgiving.
| The fortitude, patience and cheerful
ness with which Miss ellison endured her
sufferings for years won the admiration
| of all her friends. She was of a calm,
even and gentle nature, kindly and UNI
selfish, deeply devoted to her family and
| friends and a constant worker in the
| Universalist parish of West Chesterfield
until compelled by her infirmities to
cease her activities.
She is survived by her sister, Annie,
| brother Fred G.. ellison of st. Johns
bury, and an uncle, Frank Streeter of
| West Chesterfield.
Rev. d. +. Trout of Brattleboro will
| officiate at the funeral at o'clock this
afternoon in West Chesterfield, and the
| burial will take place in the ellison fam
| lily lot in the cemetery at that place.

day. the Connecticut Valley Street Rail-
way company, of which Edward c. Cros-
by of Brattleboro Is chairman of the
bord of directors, becomes the chief fac
tor in the control of SS miles of road,
the physical value of which is $3.50 900
and the earnings of which for the year
ending last June were $4,000. The mer-
ger includes the lines of the Connecti-
cut Valley street railway, the proposed
Mlllers River street railway, the Athol
and Orange street railway, the Gardner,
Westminster e. Fitchburg street rail-
way and the Templeton street railway.
The administration of the association
under an agreement with the American

tees. who for the first FIVE years have
been named as follows: Russell G.. Fes-
sender of Boston, president of the
American Trust company; Richard NJ

large amount of rock blasting as abou
half of 1t will be outside the highway
and that work can be carried on this
winter. The lines controlled will pas!
