A. F. Read, when he moved this

 tic, hidden away under the dusty raft

 back into the eighteenth century,
 among them an old sign which he pre- scented Wednesday to George W. Car

 This sign, one hundred and fifty
 years ago, hung in front of the John
 son tavern, then one of the most noted hostelries in eastern Connecticut. The house, now known as the Johnson house, is owned by Frank l. Ray of South Main street. The sign is finely carved, evidently by master hand. It bears upon it's face the legend, For the Refreshment of Man and Beast, and the date. also cut into the word 176S. Painted in wonderfully pre- served colors on one side is an elm tree. This is to represent the big | elm, the largest in this section of the state. cut last year by MT.

TRAINING IN FRANCE.
Private Richard J. Healey Thinks Fort
 Terry Must Be an Easy Place.

In letter received here from Pri- vate Richard J. Healey of an infantry regiment that is in France he tells James R. Walsh of his trip across and of getting down to the hard work of preparation for battle on French soil.
 Private Healey says that the trip across was made on what he tkscrib- es as a wonder of a big transport that had no trouble at all getting through the submarine zone. As to France, his letter indicates that he is billeted in the north of the country and not a great distance from the battle lines.
 He remarks with interest upon the severity of the weather at Fort Ter ry, as indicated by newspaper clip pings that have come into his hands, and clearly indicates that Fort Ter " must be an easy place. as to hard drilling. compared to the rigorous training Uncle Sam's men are getting lover there"
 From the business standpoint, Pri- vate Healey has observed a quick jump in prices on articles that Uncle Saln's soldiers buy in France. He men, tions that one article has been ad- | vanced from 3 to cents, and another article from 12 to 36 cents.
