._O13ED’S IALTAVR.
A TRADITlO.\'ARY sroav 0F C0.\‘I\’EC'1‘ICL"I‘.
The town of Saybnoolc, in Connecticut,
lies on tlie.western»b2ink of the river of
the latter name where it empties inlofthe
Sound. in summer it is one of the most
pleasant, quiet and delightful places that
can be imagined. '
The main portion of t'ne:villa_qe is upon
a-perfect level known as the ‘plzitfc-i'rn.’
The sea breeze on the afternoon of a July
or an August day, fan like cools the uiii,
and the scene looitingr across the aim ot
of the sea called the Sound towards Long
island, covered at times with liundreds of
‘coasters,’ their sails filled to the breeze,
is joyful and ext-.itiii_<_r in the" extreine.
'l hereare capital tisliiiig gronno"s like-
wise in the iici;_vliboi'liood, where blai-it
fish, bass and several varieties of the salt
water I nny tribe. are caught in great
abundance at certain seasons, by tho.-e to
whom experience has tirade l«:iio\vn the bcsz
fishing spots. '
It must be borne in niintl, lll{C\\'lSE, that
the Coiiuecllicut River sli-ad, the finest of
that fine fish, are here L'i1l.lf_)_l‘li--t() cpicuros
the name has become proveibi-.1]. In the
latter part of last ce_nt'ury, and in the early
poijtioii of this, salmon weic caught in
such abundance that shad were never
eaten or preserved ; but tlailriiriiiigtlie up-
i
Lion of steamboats, have completely driven
salmon froiiithe river, with the exec-ption
of now and then captui'ingl a solitary nau-
‘derer. ’
Saybrook, too, quiet as it now is, has
pai'ticii_l-.i,r_ly ii'i.ten_ded for students of,d,i,vin-
=itv., This was the.nucle_us of Yale Colleoe.

wliicli some ten or more years afterwai-ds
was removed to New Hiiveii, as the more
central portion of the colony. _Tliei'e v.‘-as
much excitement at the time of the remo-
val,.it being carried by a [1)€l'elIl£)_l0|_'ll>.y in
the board of ti'tis_t__ees,'and _when it took
place several llUl,lt(_ll‘€,‘(.l,\'t}llh1_blE§,l;|QO_l{S were
carried oil and secreted, their \Vll_§’t‘e:_tl)O.'_JlS
not being known to this day——pi~obubly
buried in‘ some old oak chest.
I have =.tlion_glit it necessary;-to..give
some little description of-Suybrook to
‘those of my readers who are not aware of
its locality and position-, and will only say
to them if they .- wish. a quiet watering
place, l-»t them make a visit i'o,it the ensu-
ing summer, aiid-they will not deny the
truth of vvliat l say. 4 ~ .
Some miles ii-om the level ground
known as the “ Point,” the land begins to
rise, and .here. on a Sllf_1'l]l. elevation of the
hill side stands an isolated square shaped
rock called “ Ubeds Altar.” On this
rock, over a ceiituryr and » a half ago, an
Indian known as Obed used 1.0‘ o.li'ei' up
his offei'irigs to God according to the cus-
toms of his ancestors. '
Obcd was the last reiriaining' member
extended from the western side of the riv-
er to the banks of the Hudson.
He was about fifty years of age, and
tliougli fond of “ lire \i‘.iter,” wliich had
4
pl‘C'tIIt1tlll'e decay, he'was still straiglit as
an arrow, and his lr-a*i.e athletic and vig-
orous. lie lived in :1 lonely wigwarn -on
the bill side, with his daughter, a girl
about eigliteeii. His wife, or ‘as she
would be termed in liitllau lziingiiage,
" sqiianx,” had been dead many years.
There is one physical trait in the Indian
Clli.ll'il(‘.l.8l'
eradicat-e—ilie aversion to labor. Yet
this trait does not seem to be‘ laziness.

évery muscle in play; but when you
lul;-or of the haiids, the lndian will not en-
dure it. His is the spirit of wild national
llt(lPl"i€l':(l€l'l('.e. ‘
When Obed wanted money tobuy pow-
der for the purpose of killing _g__raine, then
in great abunrlance in the‘ ‘vicinity or to
plil'Clti1Se " fire water,” he would remaiii
in his wigwzein for a day, and const.i'iict
