' years ago he. first saw the light of day
11111 the hills of Litchficld county. He
1' came to this city about fifteen years ago
. and has ever been one of our most use-
ful citizens, His wife wanted to do
something to mark the event, so she in:
lvited the Veteran club to meet at the

lout at that time, but warned him to
come in early. which he did, to find the
house full of his friends and neighb. 11's.
It was :1 genuine surprise, so much so
that he forgot to take otl‘ his heavy over-
Moat. and went around the 111111115 with
: perspiration taming from every pore. If
he had been Ilcshy‘ he would have felt
it much worse.

mind. in some respects, seems to be fail—
ho thought he needed
cider, s he took a pitcher and
wont to the cellar and lot the

servant went to the cellar, she found
wash tubs. barrels and boxes floating in
the cider. H11 says 1111111111111 Shakespeare
in hiszhc would rather have the cider
and the Veteran club all say “A111cn!”
It wasavcry enjoyable occasion. Mr.
Trowbridgc seemed tacnjoy it even if
