An Interesting Visitor

A very interesting patent mas DCen
receiving treatment for the past few
weeks, in the Waldo County General
Hospital, Miss Mary Kent Davey, of
Boston, who was the victim of an
accident in Liberty, resulting in the
fracture of her collar bone. For a
person used to the crowded thor
oughfares of Boston to be knocked
down on a country road by passing
automobiles, is an unpleasant reflec-
ton on the driving of country auto
mobilists. for Miss Davey was walk
ing along the road in Liberty when
two cars passing each other resulted
in one of them striking her and
causing serious injuries. Miss Dav-
ey is most charming woman and in
conversation with the representa-
tive yesterday told her some very
interesting things about her work as
resident hostess of The House by the
Side Of the Road, as the rectory IF
the Old North church is now called.
The house is maintained by the Wo-
paD and while not a single member
of the parish lives within the parish,
now given over entirely to Italians,
these women keep the old rectory
open and have gathered within its
walls many things of historical and
patriotic interest, using it as place
of rest, where one can sit quietly, en-
JOY cup of tea and absorb the his
torical atmosphere of the place. 1t
stands close to the Old North church,
where Paul Revere told the colonists
to hang lanterns on the night of his
memorable ride, and every year the
Hanging of the Lanterns. is observed,
Miss Pauline Revere, a direct des-
cendent of the hero, performing this
quaint old ceremony. Many other
historical events are also commemor-
ated by the society and the church
and house are annually visited by
thousands of tourists, last year
reaching over 10000.
In the House are some things well
worth seeing. especially interesting
to the student Of history. A hair
from the head Of George washington
for instance would make the Father
the boys and girls beginning to read
and study American history. A bit
of tea from the ships which figures
in the Boston Tea party would be
more than interesting to Belfast boys
and girls and grown-ups too, for
their own John Cochran who lies in
Grove Cemetery, was member of
that famous tea-party. In the House
are many things which tend to show
how the women of We olden days did
their work, the making of candles,
shining and weaving, and many
other things which have been coilec-
ted and are shown to visitors. OF
course the church itself Is q place 20

CANAAN P. o. MADE
 EXAMINING POINT
Is One of Fourteen Places in State Thus
 Designated

Postmaster E. l.. Roberts has re- ceived a communication from the secretary of the First Civil Service District to the effect that the Canaan Post Office has been made an exam ination point. Stenographers and typist examinations for the Depart mental and Field Service will be held here in the future, according to the word received.
 Canaan should feel honored by this appointment, for it is undoubtedly the smallest town in the state where such examinations are held. The other two cities and towns in the state where such examinations are held are: Bridgeport, Danbuy, Hartford, Meriden, rMiddletown, New Haven, New London, Norwich, Putnam, Stamford, Torrington, Waterbury and Willimantic. Examinations are held for filling offices outside of Washington, D. c.
 Another item wi1ch will be of in terest to patrons of the local office, is the examination given the local clerks recently. The examination was on lease work" and was conducted by the chief of the Railway Mail Service. Leroy Beaujon received a mark of 100%, having a perfect score. Miss Olga Johnson received a mark of 99.47. Miss Reed was absent and did not take the examination. The marks received by Miss Johnson and Beaujon speaks volumes for the efficiency of the local office.
 Rural Carrier Examination
 The United States Civil Service Commission has announced an ex- animation to be held at Canaan, Conn. on June 24, 1922 t6 fill the position of rural carrier at { West Cornwall and vacaMcies that may la ter occur on rural routes from that post office.

Separate exam nations for motor routes and wagon routes are no longer held. Appoint k1ents to both positions will be made from the same register. The examin- ation will b be open only to citizens who are actually domiciled in the territory of the post office where the vacancy exists and who meet the other requirements set forth in Form 1917.

Joyce se- cured the visitors third and last hit in the seventh, but he was out steal ing second.
 " Canaan scored in their half of the first inning. Joyce juggled I. Min acci's fly, but finally decided to hold it. Baldwin reached second when Murray made a two-base huff of his fly. Collins tried to make circus catch of F. Minacci's liner and muffed it. Tracey made a short throw to second to catch Minacci going down. Sullivan dropped the throw and Baldwin scored. Minacci was stranded as Meade famed and Hub by was tosse0 out by Collins.
 I. Minacci opened the third inning with three-base smash to the river bank. Due to lack of coaching, he attempted to score on it and was nipped at the plate by a fine throw from R. Minacci. Baldwin singled over third and got to second when Lathrop fumbled Murphy,s peg to catch the runner mapping. F,~Min- acci knocked a fly to his brother in left. Meade was safe when Lathrop dropped Murphy's throw. Hubby singled through second. McLead doubled to left, Baldwin and Meade scoring, R. Minacci's pretty heave caught Hubby going third. C
