EVENTS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
Norwich People Were Suffering Because of Coal Shortage Just Half Century Ago-Music Vale Seminary at Salem Damaged by Fre-Occum Company Elects Of fcers at Annual Nesting.

The citizens of Norwich fifty years ago were suffering because of a lack of coal in the city, the same as the citizens of 1918. There was quite a difference in the prices however as coal sold for $7,50 and $S.50 a ton. and wood was to be had for $5 cord, instead of $12 as is the case today.
 Part of the Music Vale Seminary at Salem was destroyed by fire and the damage amounted to $15,000.e <
 Extracts from The Bulletins files of '68 follow:
 January 20, 1S6s-Dr. Frederick Mercer, of Mystic with other parties has purchased an extensive piece Of land at Lantern Hill which is said to contain valuable mineral deposits. Dr. Mercer has been for arlong time cognizant of the fact that the locality designated furnished fine specimens of asbestos, mineral of the horn blende family that is capable of great heat resistance. How extensive this deposit is, must of course depend up- on thorough reconnaissance and mining operations which will require more or less time and capital; but enough is already known to justify the most sanguine expectations of its fortunate possessoTs. The purchase price was in the neighborhood of $500 Annual Meeting. ~

 It was nothing to see one. or two thousand march past every night, and the former quiet village was changed into one of great activity. For the most part the soldiers were quiet and orderly, large proportion of them very young.
 All the churches there were open to them every evening, she writes, and some churches during the day, so that they could go in and write or read. One evening each week they were served cake and coffee and the Knights served breakfast to hundreds every Sunday morning, after they had been to mass. .f-. 44' Mrs. 5Comstock tells of how happy she was to entertain some of the young soldiers and their relatives and | friends wfD visited at the camp, and how much the boys appreciated. her hospitality, as proved by letters and l Christmas remem5rances. She is working on her tenth selmet for out 1 fits, and has sent five sweaters, three i pairs of wristlets, and socks for the Red Cross Mrs. Comstock's elder daughter, Miss Lillian A. Comstock also works devotedly for the army and navy needs. and did much valuable 1 work during the drive for the second Liberty Loan. e
 Even Mrs. Comstocks little ss-year- l old granddaughter, Dorothy, has beer taught to knit and had finished 3 scarf Mrs. Comstock aids in the Methodist church work, making surgical dress. ings, etc.
