The following paper descriptive of
the old New to Prison. at East Gran-
by. was by Miss Olive Hubbard.
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Hub-
bard. at the meeting of the Young Peo~
I pic's Society or the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, in Cannon, this week:
Perhaps many people are not aware
of the fact that betwoen Hartford and
Springfield is a. place called Copper
Hill, in the town of East Granby. in
this town is situated a prison called
Newgste Prison. which is famous as
being the only political plison in Am-
rilca. and it is also the most ancient
and historical spot in New England.
This Interesting prison consists of
several separate buildings, with a mas
sive wall surrounding the whole. In
this wall is one gate-way with the key-
stone, bearing the name “Ncwgate
Prison," taken from the Newgate of
London. and the date. 1802. when the
wall was completed. At each corner
of the wall is a sentry tower, where
the sentry paced back and forth. night
and day. noon duty.
The first building which the guide
showed us. was the workshop. it was
very interesting to see the old fashion-
ed machlnery. the clumsy belts. the
grindstone. the ,hardvbottomed English
chairs. and last, but best oi‘ all, the
samples of nails which the prisoners
made. They were very clumsy 111d
dull of point, but nevertheless use III
in those Colonial days.
Then we were introductd to tho coo
per shop, which is a rain, and from
there to the treadmill building, where
the prisoners, ground the grain by
very hard labor. Downstairs in the
treadmill building were the sleeping
apartments of the prisoners, where in
bunks. foot to foot. in tiers, the pris-
oners slept. In each rooln were eight
bunks, and two in whack. making a
total of sixteen in a room, with only
one small window, heavily barred. and
a double door bolted from the outside.
A rude flight of stairs in this same
building led us tb a small tower. from
which we obtained a beautiful view.

of the capitol at Hartford. a distance
of from fifteen to twenty miles; also

interesting of mountains, which doubt-
less would be much in favor with many '
of our sex in Cannon. it was thus
named because of a prisoner who as-
caped, and was captured on this
mountain; hence the name "Man-l-
took.”
The guide then conducted us across
the modern tennis court. to the out
rauce of the mine, where wo v. ere in-
itiated into the‘ a1ts1nnd mysteries of

safely at the bottom the guide lighted
~cur candles and led the wav with mv
grandmother, through the dark, under
ground cavern. This dungeon was all
cut out of solid rock, and in many
places there was water, so that we
had to use much care not to take a
sudden swim. Many places were so
low that the guide would call “Stoop: .
and down must go our heads. if we
didn’t wish to fracture the rocks by
coming in contact with them'.
Unfortunately my poor grandmother
did not stoop in time. so consequently
found. to her sorrow, the not over-
, delightful sensation of coming in close
contact with solid rock. Some parts
were so draughty that our candles
ware blown out, and in one spot, called
Echo Hall, our voices reso'unded with
a boom for long afterwards. At last
we came to a well, which is 100 feet
deep. and looking up we could faintly
discern the faces above looking down
at us.- It was a very novel experience.
The guide told us a sad story in con
nectlon with this well. As only the
most desperate characters were im~
