however, ran over the objectors.

George S. Paine OF Winslow, whose
grandmother came to Winslow, lie
years ago, when the region was d

few historical facts regarding Fort

several blockhouses, three of which
overlooked the Sebasticook and Ken

Connecticut Foot Guards Pay
Visit to Old Fort Halifax.

! Waterville. Me-, Aug. 19.-(SpeeiaD.
| The Connecticut Foot Guards, on
| Monday, repeated a visit to Fort Hall
fax, 1877 years after the first one made
| by a distinguished body of soldiers
| bearing the same name. When the first
was made, on Sept. 80, 1775, Fort Hal
| flax was a British fort. ordered built,
u years previously, by the British
governor of Massachusetts, Shirley, in
1854. When the Connecticut Foot
Guards, under the afterwards traitor,
Benedict Arnold, visited Fort Halifax,
the first time, the United States was
not in existence, but shadows of its
lusty existence were beginning to show
themselves.
The fact remains that, at 2 p. NJ,
Monday, the same stalwart body OF
troops that visited Augusta, earlier il
the day, arrived at Winslow on a spe-
ecial train. and the members detrain-
ed. They formed as company, and
marched across the bridge, a few hun
bred feet away, to Fort Halifax. where
addresses were made by Postmaster
j. w. Bassett and George Paine. The
soldiers listened attentively to the
speakers, who gave very interesting
facts concerning the early history OF
Fort Halifax.
Postmaster Bassett, who lives in the
house built by General Lithgow, who
was in command of the fort when Ar
mold marched through, in 1775, with
his Guards. addressed the soldiers on
the history of the fort. When it was
built. in 1854, the whole vicinity OF
the fort was pine forest. from which
the fort was hewn by the woodsmen.
or pieneers, who came here in obe-
dience to the command of the Eng
