One half century ago this week the | central school district voters in meeting | assembled instructed their committee, Eb- l eDezer Learned and H. l.. Clarke, to | erect on Laurel Hill a schoolhouse for the Accommodation of that growing sec | ton of the city. The schoolhouse was | to be two stories high with four rooms and two of the rooms the committee were instructed to furnish. The whole l cost of the building was to be not more than $s,o00. From the files of the Norwich Bulletin of 1s7e the following extracts are glean- cd: Monday, June 20, 1870: Phillip Carey, a laborer. in the employ of the New London Northern Railroad company, was thrown from a hand car Saturday morn ing. near the rolling mill below the city. and dangerously injured. The crank of the car which he was turning escaped his grasp and struck him on the head, knocking him down and again striking him in the stomach. Mir Carey fell from the car beside the track unconscious, and was later carried to his home on Forest street. West Side. where he now lies in critical condition.
