Hume. GET TOGETHER! The most significant, as well as the most? satisfying feature of the Board of Trade banquet, Thursday night, was the manifest spirit of harmony and goodwill that pervaded the affair. The occasion proved convincingly that there is no insuperable barrier' to prevent Via mon rif Cla noon "fro.Hntr for a common purpose," when that common purpose appeals to them. The secret of the splendid success of mw Lnuquoi was uut iua, cauciicuuc ui Landlord Baker's magnificent menu; nor was it in the fact that the large dining rooni was crowded with feasters, nor that the service, the music, the singing, the speaking, the decorations or other extraneous features were all that could be desired. It was in the harmonious atmosphere of good-fellowship that made itself felt from one end of the banquet hall to the other, that made every guest feel that it was good to be there, and sent every guest home with a pleasant taste in his mouth, and a kindlier feeling in his heart for his fellow man.

Such getting together in neighborly communion, for the consideration and discussion of public affairs that concern and appeal to us all as citizens of Canaan, would not only wipe out every vestige, of disagreement and "insurgency" in local affairs, but start this little old town on a career of up-to-date progressiveness that would make it a model community and challenge the admiration of the state. We can get together, and eat together, and sing together for the. pleasure of the moment, and all feel benefitted by the contact and the experience. Why. cannot we get together, and pull together, and work together for a common purpose that means the betterment of the oondition of us all? 1 There is no limit" to the good that might be accomplished by a general adoption of the "get together" policy.

In this connection The News makes no apology for devoting the space in this column required for reprinting the following from an editorial that recently appeared in the Waterbury American, which conveys most significantly an idea of what can be done through the instrumentality of "get together:" A business Men's association or a Board of trade or a Chamber commerce or any similar organization that can inspire a city with the get-together spirit is sure to accomplish results, whatever the particular method adopted. The best of the et-together spirit in tliis vicinity, so far as we know, is the Springfield Board of trade. Apropos of the fact that a large representation of the Springfield Board of trade, numbering about 200, recently visited Hartford, being entertained by the Hartford Board of trade, certain facts regard' to what the Springfield Board of trade is doing have been exploited in the press. Tne Springfield Board of trade "for one thing, numbers over 1,000 members. It has establiahed certain divisions or agencies.

It has a traffic bureau; it publishes a monthly magazine which includes in the information given not only Springfield, but the principal towns of that vicinage It has organized an Advenisers' Protective association and also a charitie indorsement committee. All these work, eaoh in its own line, for the common good and accomplish much. Through them, active interest is taken in all questions of railroad or trolley connections or extension, excursions are organized, general views as to civic improvements are fooused, and a thousand and one details of community life are closely looked after. All this could not be done unless the, entire organization was behind its bureaus and watched what these bureaus were doing and the results. How is such interest started apd maintained The members of the Springfield Board of trade meet constantly.

They not only have dinners annually or semi-annually, but they nave luncheons somewhere every week. These luncheons are informal in character and are attended by from 75 to 200 members. These luncheons are the very embodiment of the get-together They are places for barring formal addresses and talk unless such come in naturally. They are places where various questions can be threshed out by neighbor chatting with neighbor, or all listening'to some one member who nas ideas, or some one representative of a bureau which has a report to mane. Ten years ago, it is said, the Springfield Board of trade was dead.

People did not tuink it was worth while to continue such a perfunctory existence. The protest again it this led to the reorganization along the lines indicated. Two or three things in the way of results are worth uoting. The main object seems to be to extend Springfield trade, to get all the cities and towns of the vicinage to look to Springfield as a center and to ca-operate with it in every way. Another result is that when any snoh, proposition comes up as the change of the tracks of a railroad from one side of the Connecticut river to the public opinion can be definitely focused through discussion and the best possibilities realized.

Thus, also, futile and misjudged efforts at improvement are checked and the waste of money, as in undesirable charities, is stopped. Incidentally, it is woi th noting that in a two-column account of what this Board of trade has acrcom-plished, not one mention is made of securing for Springfield a single new enterprise, manufacturing or other. Under the development -of this Bjjard of trade, Springfield is apparently made go desirable that concerns which would naturally go there do not need to be induced to do so by any special concessions. What is being done Springfield may be done in Canaan not in the volume and magnitude ot achievement, but in the acquirement of every needed and reasonable improvement, and of a reputation for progressiveness and patriotic public The "get together" polioy is what has done it all for Springfield, and the same policy would bring proportionate results in If the men of Canaan' could pull together, actuated by a sincere motive of local patriotism and civic pride, and unhampered by the-active opposition or the sneering, passive indifference of the ultra conservative, reactionary they, would make their little town the "town the town progressive and the town prosperous. The Board of trade lias called a meeting at The Canfield next Monday evening, to talk things over, make plans for the future of the organization, and prepare to, do something to disprove the accusation that it "does nothing between and incidentally to develop, by'' honest, public spirited effort, an appetite for the next annual banquet.

To this meeting it invites all citizsns who are interested in the progress and material welfare of the community, to come, and encourage by their presence and suggestions, the efforts of an organi zation that has for its object only the furtherance of the best interests of the whole community. THE EAGLE'S MAYOR Closing a desultory editorial on the subject of the Canaan, (Ct.) fire department, we observed that "If we learn that The News is taking a gentle rap at ts village, we may have something to say that will be worth reading." The News, in the course of an extended and most entertaining and original reply, remarks: "If The Eagle-can turn out anything eke on the subject as well worth reading as the foregoing editorial, let the investigation proceed and the quicker the better." We. are well nigh as pleased with this as with the invitation to make the News our headquarters while waiting for a train Canaan. Pittsfield Eagle. That's hardly up to the original.

It leaves the reader to infer that The News would connive to honeyfugle the Eagle's mayor from his purpose to investigate, and if necessary expose, thia paper, in the matter of its animus in "taking a gentle rap" at something. Far be it so On the contrary, The News welcomes investigation and hankers for exposure along the lines contemplated by the mayor of the Eagle, and harbors no sinister purpose to kidnap, the inquisitive visitor, inveigle him into the sanctum sanctorum and get him to feeling good, in order to divert his attention till his train goes back. The heavens forbid The News proposes to help the Eagle man out in his investigations; chaperone him about, to every source of information; not only aid him but make him investigate; then, if there is any time left before his train leaves well, that's different. Now let the Eagle scream. PROVERBS OF DANIEL Dan Sweeney says: 'Silence gives consent' is the motto of the gentleman who gags the family before looting the house." Two miserable looking hoboes called I on the dean of a medical college and proposed that he purchase their bodies for the dissecting room, as they were on the verge of starvation and had not long to live.

Letters From the People A Hungry Hope Editor News As a guest at the board of trade banquet I want to express my appreciation of the good time I had Thursday night. I must say I never enjoyed an affair of the kind so much in my life, and I hope these banquets will be kept up every year, and that the board of trade will continue to get them up. even if it does nothing besides run the banquets.

This one was written by Lieutenaut Jonathan Gillett, a relative of the Canaan family of Gillettes, to his wife, Elizabeth, while he was a prisoner of war in New York city, after his capture at the battle of Long Island. He died shortly after his release, from the effects of his. privations.

As fecord ed in the letter published last week, his son Jonathan went through some "similar expeiiences. The "Oo" mentioned was his four-years-old daughter Coriuua, whose husband, Russell Loom is, lie buried in the old Gillette lot in the Lower Cemetery in Canaan. "My Friend: No doubt my misfortunes have reached you ere this. It is as true as it is sad. I was made a prisoner the 27th day of August last oy a people called the Hessians, the mosc ungentle men of all mortals.

I cannot give room to picture them here but this much. I at first resolved not to be takeu, but by the importuning of the seven taken with me, aud being surrounded on all sides by numbers, I unhappily surreuded. Would to liod I never had, then I would never have known their unmerciful They first disarmed me, tben plundered me of all I had money a id sjine clothing after which they abused with the guns. They first knocked me down; I got up and they kept on beating me most all the way to the camp, where I got shut of them. The next thiug was I was almost starved death by them.

I was kept there eight days aud then was sent on board a ship, where I continued thirty-nine days and lived much worse than when ou shore'. After I was set on shore in New York, confined under a strong guard until the twelf th day of November, after which I had my liberty to walk over a part of the city between sun and sun. Notwithstanding their generous allowance of I must inevitably liave perished of huu-ger had not some friends in this town relieved my extreme necessity. But I cannot expect that they will always do it. What I shall do next I know not, being naked of clothes and void of money.

I was after put on board seized with the dysentery. It followed me hard upwards of six weeks, af cer a slow fever, but now I am vastly better. I pray these lines may find you and your children in health, and should be glad to hear from you if possible. My sincere love to you and your children may God prterve you at all times from sin, sickness aud death may He feed aud clothe you.

but above all prepare you all to appear before His righteous bar, that when called you may each of you render up your accounts with joy. My business affairs, I hope do not hinder your being mindful of your soul's welfare, nor my sufferings take your thoughts from your duty to God. Never murmur, or repine at the hand of Providence. What God does, remember it is right. Teach your children the paths of virtue and to walk therein.

May tkey remember their Creator in the days of their" youth aud live to do much good in their day aud generation. And may you have the presence of God with you to enable and assist you in this important work. I leave you all in the hands of a'merciful Gdtl, who will have mercy on all who seek Him, and may you bo of that number whose God is the Lord, and when you quit this mortal shore may you reach a far better where sorrow and. vexations troubles never come. After giving you a small sketch of myself and trouble, I will endeaver to lead you into the poor situation the soldiers are in, especially those taken at Long Island when I was.

In fact, their cases are deplorable, aud tbey are real objects of pity. They are still confined and in houses with no fire, poor mortals with little or no clothing, perishing with hunger, offering eight dollars in paper for one in silver to relieve their distressing hunger, having want of.it after their notes are broken and gone. Some almost lose their voices aud some their hearing. They are crowded into churches and there quartered day and night. I cannot paint the horrible picture they make.

It is shocking to human nature to behold thern. Could I draw a curtain from before you and there expose to view a lean jawed mortal on whom keen hunger has laid his skinny hand aud whetted to keenest edge his stomach cravings surrounded with tattered garments and rotten rags clothes occupied by unwholesome vermincould I do this. I say, I might in some small manner fix your idea with what appearance some hundred of these poor creatures make in houses where people once attempted to implore God's blessings. But I will say no more of these calamities. God be merciful to them, I can afford them no relief.

If I had money I would soon do it, but I have none, for I wrote a line to you by Major Willis to try and see if some one would help me to hard money under my present necessity. I conld not write more if I had, the Geneial not allow it to go out, and if ever you write to me I would have you write very short, or I shall never see it.

The Wurra Wurra Club Owing to the absence of the chaplain the collection was dispensed with and the exercises began between the fat member and Judge Ford, over nothing ac all, the fat member having' given the Judge a call-down for coming to the meeting with his hair parted in the mid-dlo, which the fat one interpreted as a sign that the judicial gentleman contemplated auother attempt to get his name ou the list of applicants for charter membership iu the Wurra Wurra Woman's Relief Corps. The Judge dis- uiimu any sucn intent; ana proceeaea 1 I .1 1 A. 3.5 to nne the fat man 7 and costs for con- tempt of court, and ordered Lew Rhoades to hold him till he settled, Clint Roraback interposed with a claim of "adverse user," and the Judge started for his office to flud out if his dictionary told what that meant. While he was gone the business of the meeting con- tinned, under the regular order.

Fred Collin moved that the Club at- tend the meeting of the Board of Trade, to be held at The Canfield next Monday evening, and agitate some things that ought'tobedone to put this little old town iu the front rank of Connecticut towns as a progressive, up to-date, bust- ling burg. Brother Bullock seconded the motion, and the president School Principal Eldridge was iu the chair- was about to put it to vote when the bald-headed member demanded that Mr. Collin specify jngt what, things this little old town town needed to be classed as a hustler. That gentleman replied that he would, if desired, prepare a list of improvements that were needed aud sub- mit it at the next meeting; in the mean- time, he said, that list would include a general epidemic of side-walk repairiug, cleaning-up and beautifying of lawns, cleauing of streets, construction of more cross-walks, and such-like practical and reasonable enterprises, which might be accomplished without burdensome expense and without arousing the antagonism of the habitual obstructionists, and which would have a tendency to create and foster sentiments of local pride and home patriotism, aud prepire the way for more thorough aud significant innovations later on. Mr.

Wilcox moved to amend the motion by the appointment of a committee of twenty-eight, to consider the advisability of such a course, and the amendment was adopted, after which the motion as amended was killed by a rising vote. A motion was made by Ed. Warner, that the Club appoint a banquet committed to get up just such a temt as the Board of Trade gave last Thursday night, and that "Billy" Bullock bo made chairman of such committee. Mr. Bullock moved to amend by substituting the name of Ed.

Warner for chairman, as he, himself, had had wliat the old Indian called his "damn satisfy" of that sort of responsibility for one season. The motion was laid under the table. Sam Camp rose to inquire whether the 'charter membership list of the proposed Woman's Relief Corps, had! not reached the required minimum of fifty applicants. Secretary Whitford reported that while thre new applications two more school-ma'ams and one lady salesman-had raised the total number to 52. the withdrawal of one stenographer, one dress-maker and one scattering had reduced it again to 49, leaving still oue shy.

Sam drily suggested that the "one shy" be enrolled with the other 49, and thus th total made up, but he was ruled out of order. The fat member hoisted himself to his feet and began what Herriman referred to as "one of his belly-achiug hysterics" about the mischief of "this tarnation Woman's Relief Corpso biz'noss," when Thurlough jumped up and moved that the meeting do now adjourn. And it was so voted. Torrington's Police Dogs The two bloodhounds ordered by the- members of the Torrington police force arrived there last wek. They were taken to Chief Hull's home where a kennel had been prepared for them.

The Torrington police dejartment can now claim the distinction of being tho -only one in the county to own blood hounds. Due of the hounds is eight mouths of age aud the other is five mouths. Neither of Jhem has been trained to follow scents but chief Hull said that tho work of training them would probably be begun during the early part of spring. They were Bhipid to Torrington on February 10 from Kansas aud are guaranteed to be full-blooded stock.
