Interest in Norwich 50 years ago centeFed around the building Of a new court house, the main obstacle being the choice. of a location. In the political field the chief interest was in the democratic state convention al which Thomas M. Waller of New Lonondon defeated John ". Stead man of Norwich for secretary of state.
 Extracts from the Bulletins files of TO follow:
 Feb. 21, 1870: A meeting of the com mittees appointed by the county of New London and the. town and city of Norwich to take. into consideration the location and construction of the building for public uses met in joint committee on Saturday afternoon. There was considerable discussion concerning the location of the new court house. The opinion was di- vided some wanting to have it To- eated on the Union square lot, and others wanted it nearer the jail. His Honor Mayor Blackstone spoke against the Union square lot, saying that it would cost over $30,000 to start with. After much discussion it was voted that John T. Tanning be em- ployed to prepare plans for a build ing to be located on the lot owned by the town, with estimates of cost for excavation and foundation to accom- odate the wants of the county, city, probate district and town, and to re- port at the next meeting.
 Owing to the exceptionally warm weather a Norwich, Town resident on Saturday picked a oow-slip blossom in his yard.

The mammoth cotton mill was not run ming on account of being stopped by back water. The water was two feet deep in the road near the grist mill at Baltic, preventing teams from pass ing that way on Saturday. f
