A Bridgeport dentist, a husband, and

meadow running along the bank of the
Connecticut river near Post’s Light-
house, in Deep River, has recalled to
mind the strange disappearance of
Miss Bertha Mellish, of Dayville, from
Mount Holyoke Seminary last Novem-
ber. The foot was found standing up
1ight in the mud and was encased in a
black stocking and low shoe. The
flesh was in a badly decomposed state
and the foot appeared to have been
‘ separated from the remainder of some
bad y by the process of decomposition.
It had evidently been in the water
for a long time and must have been left
on the meadow at some time when the
water of the river was very high.
The coronor has saved the shoe and
stocking for identification and is in-
vestigating the case.
The tall grass of the meadow which
runs along the river bank for about a
mile will be searched for other portions

It seems incredible that the hale and

at the time of the war of 1812; but such
was the case, as he was born August 17,
1811. He did his part toward encou1ag-
ing the men who left No1 wich for the
civil wa1, and he has encouraged the
local boys who enlisted in the war
against spain; and all the time the
country grows older he seems to grow
