from the bottom of the old family trunk. The spectacle shop eventually went out of business end the place was opened by Deacon Alfred North one of the cOmmunity's former town clerks, S a grocery store. MT North conducted large grocery business there for a number of years later selling out to Salmon Durham, brother of William Durham of Hud- son street. MT. Dunham did not use the place for business purposes at that location, but moved it onto the lot where it now stands. He built on an addition and opened up gen eral store, doing a big harness busi- ness which was a thriving business in the stage coach days. He also handled some of that stuff that had more than 2.75 per cent and did good business.
 Before MT. Dunham moved the house onto the corner property there had been two factories there, both of which were destroyed by fire. The first factory was a carriage factory owned by John Graham who still has relatives living in Berlin. MT. Gra- ham did thriving business, there being a big demand all over the state for his product. The entire factory was burned a few years later and a short time after Linus Cornwall took over what remained of the business after the fire and conducted a very successful trade. MT. Cornwall, how ever, was visited by a disastrous fire which burned out the entire plant. Nothing was built on the spot until MT. Dunham moved the house up from the corner and placed it where it now stands.

Roderick LoveIand Is Reelected Head of Civil War Veterans AssO.-Other Activities About the Town Which Will Be of Interest.

The property on the corner of Hud- son and Berlin street comprising a dwelling house, blacksmith shop and store, is shortly to be moved away from the present site. The house, which has been occupied by Thomas Baratterio for a number of years, has played an important part in the his- tory of the town. William Bulkeley, who has been a lifelong resident of Berlin, was in a reminiscent mood this morning and gave a number of interesting incidents i> connection with the house.
 When MT. Bulkeley was a young boy the house, which now is on the corner of Hudson street. was at that time on FIannery's corner and was used as a small harness shop. Con- siderable business was done there as the stage coaches passed through here en route to New Haven from Hart ford and it was not an uncommon sight to see several teams drawn up before the little shop awaiting harness repairs. After a time the harness shop went out of business and the place then became a small jewellers S shop where spectacles were manufac- tpred. The spectacles as made at that time were the old square kind such as the old folks today resurrect
