 Old-Time Musicians.
 The recent letter in regard to John D. Nichols old bugle has brought out stories of some of the time musi- ing the Civil war, Elijah Scranton, who lived in the old Dean house near the railroad bridge at Moosup, was called the best fifer in Eastern Con necticut. His faVorite instrument was peuter fife which the he made him self. Soon after the war the old gentleman moved to Mansfield and there was a grand parade at Rockville in honor of some noted men. MT. Scranton's son. Albert, was fifer in the Wl1lmantfc band, which led the parade, and another son. Henry, (who died in VoluntoWn a few weeks ago) was drummer. A third son, James (well remembered in Central Village), was drummer in another band The Mansfield soldiers-only about twenty had no music except MT. Scranton with his pewter fife and they fell in at the end of the possession, which was half a mile long, and the old fife sent out the ringing notes of an old march which had led the soldiers to victory in 1776. The ffer at the head turned to the drummer. Father is here! hear the old f1fe!" At the close of the march the guest of honor insisted on an introduction to the old fifer, who was the hero of the day.
 An old time resident of Sterling Hill tells how he always loved to sit in his yard pleasant evenings at sunset to listen while William Hopkins (grand- father of Charles Hopkins) played the roll call on his drum that he had used in the. old time states militia, as few men of these days can play it.
 And few men could get more, or bet ter music from base viol than could old Uncle Robert Gray (great- grand father of Elmer Green), from one that he made himself in the barn at the Durin Bennett place. His son, Sars- field, was a noted violin player, but Uncle Roberts violin would be treasurer to a town collection.
