The merit rn i ' r 1 -i. 1 a of 1:1? :illf!S is to I ti, or In New England a C, y Ago (Type Metal Maaz e) Here is a vivid picture of life in a Connecticut village a little over a century ago. It is part of a speech del ivered by P. T. Barnum, the great showman,' in his seventy-first year, when he returned to Bethel, Conn., his native village, to recsive hon ors. "I can see it as but yesterday," said Baum, "our hardworking mothers hetcheling their flax, carding their tow and wool, spinning, reeling, and weaving it into fabrics .for bedding and clothing for all the family of both sexes. The same good mothers did the knitting, darning, mendmc. washing, ironing, cooking, soap and candle making, picked the geese, milked the cows, made butter-and cheese," and did many other things for the support of the family. "We babes of 1810, when at home, were dressed in tow frocks, and the garments of our elders were not much superior, except on Sunday. when they wore their 'go-to-meeting cloth es' of homespun and linsey-woolsey. "Rain water was caught and used for, washing, ,while that for drinkingH nJ aaaItihiv ttrOB A ! ItTT fAt Virol 1 -VM with their 'old oaken bucket' and long poles and well sweeps, r .) Fire was kept over night by bank in? up the brands in ashes in the fire place, and if it went out one neigh bor would visit another about day' light the next morning with a pair of tongs to borrow a coal of fire to kin dle with. : - : " ' ,"Our candles were tallow, home made, with with dark tow wiCks. in summer nearly all retired to rest at early dusk without lighting a candle except on extraordinary occasions. "Home-made soft soap was . used for, washing hands, faces and every thing else. '. ',"." . .The children in families of ordin ary circumstances ate their meals on. trenchers, wooden plates. As I grew older bur family ,2nd others got an extravagant streak, discarded the trenchers and rose to the dignity of pewter plates and leaden spoons. Tin peddlers who travelled through the country with their wagons supplied these and other luxuries. "Our food consisted chiefly of boil ed and baked beans, bean : porridge, coarse rye bread, apple sauce, hasty pudding beaten in milk, of which we all had a plenty. The elder portion of the family ate meat twice a day -had plenty of vegetables, I 'sh of their own catching, and occasionally big clams, which were cheap in those days, and shad in their seasoiVj.or.jH ! ."Our dinners, several timesi each week consisted of .'pot luck.'whieh was corned beef, salt pork, and vegetables, all boiled together in the samo ..big iron Tint hnnffirc from tha rane which was sunplied with iron .nooks and trammels and swung in and out of the huge fireplace. ' "In the same pot with the salt pork, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, beets, car rots, cabbage and sometimes ,-s, was placed in Indian pud ling. (On sisting of plain Indian meal mixed in water, nrettv thick, salted and poured into a home-made .brewn linon .bWg which was tied .'it the tot, When din ner was ready the Indian puilnmg was first taken from the cot, slipped out of the bag and eatei, with mo lasses. Then followed the 'pot luck.' ; "There were but few wagons or carriages in Bethel when I was a boy. Our grists of grain were taken to the mill in bags on horseback, and the women rode to church on Sundays and around the country on week days on horseback, usually on a cushion called a pillion, fastened behind the saddle, the husband, father, .brother, or lover riding in front on the saddle.-- -'-,, -:;... :7:,-v7.-;.-'V :-- "The countrV doctor visited ; his patients on horseback, carrying his saddle-bags, . containing calomel, ja lap, Epsom salts, lancet and a turn key, those being the principal aids in relieving the - sick. . Nearly every person sick or . well was bled every spring. ..;. ,j;V , .'' Teeth were pulled with a turnkey, and a dreadful thing it was in looks, and terrible in execution. "Esquire Tom Taylor made quite a revolution! by one act.' He got two yards of figured carpet to put down in front of his bed in the winter, because the board floor was too cold for bis feet, while he was dressing. 1 his. was a big-evenV, in the social life of that day, and Esquire "Tom was thought to be putting on airs which bis great wealth alone permit ted." .... .-.... Y' - ' Barnum continued with observat sions on former drinking customs which are omitted for fear they might unduly excite some readers. Never theless. we resrard his picture one of the most interesting and thought pro voking we have ever read. We are moving forward. MARSHVILLE HAS FIRE OF DANGEROUS ASPECT -' Fire yesterday destroyed the Union Lumber Company's plant, belonging to Mr. J. E. Thomas, at Marshville.
