Litchfield County News. WOODBURY. A SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION. Last week Wednesday was a great day for Old Woodbury, for on that day the glorious Fourth was celebrated in right roval stvle. The 118th anniversary of our Independence will always be a red letter day for WoodDury ana me story of the big triumph she achieved on that dav will be related to the traveler who may tarry within her gates over night, with a pride that one would be quite blameless in feeling, for years and years to come. It ia admittedly a fact that there is no such word as fail in the VO' cabulary of the place. With such men as there were at the helm the celebration was an assured suc cess right straight through from start to finish, but so nobly did the business men and other citizens rally to the support of the project that the greatness of the sue cess eclipsed anything the most sanguine dared hope and not only the visitors, but even the natives, were astonished that Woodbury could develop from her own resources such a gorgeous and fully equipped pageant as that witnessed by the assembled multitude, last week Wednesdav. Patriotism was in the air and everywhere it was beiDg demonstrat ed in no uncertain way. Long before daylight the irrepressible small boy com menced to get in bis fine work, much to the inconvenience of some worthy towns men who retired late the night before and who yearned for a nice morning nap The oflicial commencement of the day' program was at sunrise, 4.30 o'clock when a salute of 13 guns was fired from Orenaug rocks in honor of the day This salute was heartily supplemented by the vigorous ringing of the four church bells and the academy bell at the same time. Most of the houses in the street were tastefully trimmed with the national colors. Vehicles and horses were gaily caparisoned witn red, wnite and blue bunting and streamers. One wagon, especially, was noticeable by rea son of the unique way in which thebunt- ng was placed on the wheels. Jt was so arranged, two pieces on each wheel, that as the wheels revolved the e fleet was a sort of pyrotechnical oue. Except at the point where the parade was forming there was very little bustle or confusion, except when a wagon or a float, with colors flying, rumbled through the street on its way to take its place In the proces sion then forming. Firecrackers and other explosives were made conspicious by their absence during the parade and throughout most of the day. The parade was a big atiair and was about a mile and a half long. It was witnessed by fully 3000 people during its march to Ilotchkissville and return. Lawns, fences and roadside banks were crowded with people. Hundreds of teams were drawn up on either side of the street that the occupants might re view the procession as it passed. The mouth of every road intersecting the line of march was blocked with wagons full of eager sightseers. At Ilotchkissville a big crowd was in waiting. After a brief stay at this place and some good music by the band the procession returned to Woodbury. Its march from the starting point near Curtiss' hotel to Ilotchkiss ville had been one grand ovation and it deserved it, too. The procession started at 10.10 and was headed by Marshal, E. W. Pond and some of his aids,closely followed by the Hartford drum corps. Next came a carriage containing Histor ian William Cothren,the president of the day, and Prof John K. Bucklyn of Mys tic, the orator of the day. They were followed by a carriage in which sat two men who attracted much attention. One was Horace Manville, aged 99 years and three months, the oldest man in town, and George Nelson Judson, aged 91 years, the oldest native of th place. Then followed in order three floats con taining "The Goddess of Liberty," "America" and the 13 original states. Then came floats of the different busi ness industries of the place, all of which were very beautiful and a credit to the owners and the town. Some of the busi nesses represented were those of L. E. Dawson ; C. E. Winton ; F. P. Smith, the blacksmith; Wells, shoe dealer; William H. Colepaugh, barbar; F. F. Hitchcock, whose float excited much admiration ; J. M. Harvey; Woodbury stage; G. W. Proctor; Tuttle, New Home sewing machines; Dr Peck, with a wagon in which a large tooth was displayed repre sented ancient dentistry. A prominent figure in the parade was that of Roderick Atwood, attired in an ancient costume, with a large cocked bat upon his head. His wife in a mam moth old-fashioned hat, like our great great-grandmothers probably wore, accompanied him. The wagon Mr At wood rode in waa 125 years old and the harness was over 100 years old. The harnessTlescended to him from his grand father, Oliver Atwood. There were several ancient turn-outs whose mission . was a representation ot ye olden time One of them carried in a conspicuous position a venerable plow that, judging from the plow itself, must have been made many, many moons ago. An old two-seated "one-horse shay" created not a little amusement. Two persons well wrapped up in blankets and with heavy ulsters tightly buttoned around them oc cupied the front seat, whila two dummies gently nodded and swayed about in the rear seat. A large string of bells appris ed people of their appearance. The rib boDSof this "rig" were artistically hand led by Hugh Skelly. The runners were placed on small wheels to make it pos sible for the horsejto draw it. Next came the Watertown band, followed by the Knigbts of Pythias. They were in uni form and presented a fine appearance. After them came a long string of peo ple la civilian attire, and also some in national colors. Then came one of the most interesting and realistic features of the whole procession. This was a com pany of mounted men painted and dress ed as Indians, represented as the last of the tribe of Wecuppemee. It was very realistic, the braves being fixed up in such good imitation of the real that they might easily have been mistaken for gen uine Indians could they have been met in the native wilds of the red man. The name Is as it is here written, though the school board for the past 100 years have spelled it Weekee-pee-mee. An old time carriage with about two-thirds of its top gone and Its curtains in tatters, was noticed. George Allen, the florist, had a very pretty float. The Hotchkissville Cash Store had an exceptionally pretty float, that was othing if not unique and original. Among other things on the float was a big clock about the size of a large bass drum, on the face of which was painted in good-sized letters, "No Tick Here," then in smaller letters, "but the best goods at very moderate prices for cash." William Dakin & Co., the Hotchkiss ville carriage manufacturer, had a very handsome float upon which was a hand some sleigh and an elegant carriage, both of which were favorably commented up on. Marshal Pond was assisted by the fol lowing aids : H. C. Smith, Stephen Crane, J. H. Roberts, Frank Allen, F. R. Ford, Frank Hitchcock and George Terrill. A. W. Mitchell was also an aid, but he met witli a severe accident just as the procession was forming. His horse be came frightened and threw Mr Mitchell from his back, rendering him uncon scious for a short time. It was very un fortunate and from the words of praise spoken of Mr Mitchell we should infer that he was an exceptionally popular young man. Two young ladies arrayed in dresses made of cloth bearing the national colors, with hats to match, were frequently noticed during the day. The afternoon exercises commenced at 12.15, when the vast assemblage was called to order by Historian William Cothren, the president of the day. The exercises took place at the grove opposite James II. Linsley's. First in order was music by the Watertown band. The band was in uniform and presented a fine appearance. The selection played by them was finely rendered and was thoroughly enjoyed by the people. This was the first time many of the people present had heard this band and many were the words of praise spoken of them. It is our opinion that the Citizen's band of Watertown will make a mark for itself in the musical world. The Woodbury Glee club then sang "America." A fine organ had been provided for the occasion and it was a great addition to the musi cal part of the program. The Glee club are fine singers and were vigorously ap plauded at the close of their soug. Rev Mr Wyckoff then offered prayer. In a clear anu powcriui voice ir uaviu i. Rodger read the Declaration of I ndepend- ence. Just at tins moment a clap ot thunder shook the sky and instantly there was a commotion among the peo ple, some leaving the grounds and run ning for shelter and many with teams starting for home. Mr Cothren quickly announced that the next on the program was music by the, band and the crowd quietly listened until the selection was completed. An adjournment was then taken to the Town hall, where the ex ercises were completed. The number of people in the hall, however, was visibly less than ouiside. Mr Cothren now in troduced Prof John X. Bucklyn, the ora tor of the day. Mr Bucklyn said: "Mr President, Ladies and Gentlemen We are disappointed that it rains, but I have the greatest confidence in the manage ment of the weather. It might have been a great deal worse than it is, too, you know." Mr Bucklyn complimented them on the success of their celebration. He said he had never seen a town that had a larger parade and he also compli mented them on the beauty of their pa rade. Continuing, he said "It affords me great pleasure to meet you on this this USth anniversary of our National Independence and to contribute what I may to the success of this joyful occasion. I have thought to give you some reasons for remembering this day with joy and gladness. Your cordial reception, your courteous and kind words to me have made this a bright day in my life. I re joice that I am permitted to witness your celebration to-day, to note the unity and zeal in the execution of your elaborate program thus far, to look into your faces glowing with intelligence, kindness and patriotism, to say to you a word of his tory, to note some facts of to-day, to in dulge in a brief exhortation' and to meet again friends whom I have loved and honored many years. Patriotism has been loved and honored in all ages of the world. The love of Fatherland is one of the oldest and most unselfish laws of our lives. Hence it is one of the purest possessions of the hu man soul. For this love men have sacri ficed all other laws except that of Heaven and that love goes hand in hand with patriotism. Men whose selfishness or other duties do not allow them to sacri fice for their country, honor, and some times Snvy the men who do so sacrifice. Men have built millions of monuments to their patriotic dead and the world has applauded. Th most stirring lives of prose or poetry have told-of patriotism. "There are people who never smile," said the orator, "the peasantry of Russia never smile." The man who cannot smile cannot do the work God intends him to do. A nation without a home is a dangerous nation. Our fathers felt this when under the dominion of one man and that man a maniac. The effect of the Declaration of Independence was to create a nation of homes. A man with out a home or the desire to have one is a dangerous man. Home and home life are a great restraint upon men. No man can have a home in the fullest meaning of the word unless he loves that home, sacrifices for that home and rejoices in that home. A man without the desire to have a home is a socialist. Our fathers desired homes. That is why they de clared Independence. It was not be cause they wanted it easier Instead they asked for an opportunity and they were bound to have It. Our land is worthy of the sacrifices that have been made for it." In illustrating some of these sacrifices Mr Bucklyn recited how he had seen friends buried in trenches and by the roadside. ' They had sacrific ed their Jives for their country, Well may we rejoice on the natal day of our nation. Well may the enthusiasm of youth burst forth in shout and song and crashing guns. Indeed we older men may be excused for feeling that the sweetest music on the air to-day is - big guns, bass drums and thunder. Well may age forget the cares of life and countless ills and vie with youth in en thusiasm." The speaker recounted the great growth we have made since our ad vent as an independent nation, painting a word picture in glowing colors. The growth had been tremendous. The gossip of the store gives place to the omnipresent newspaper. The modern reporter is a unique production of these later days. lie is more inquisitive than a summer fly on a bald head, more hated than a Jersey mosquito, yet be is feted more than Alexander the Great. A re porter once asked me what I had to say" upon a certain matter. I said "NothiDg, and he reported the interview in a two column article. : Mr Bucklyn's address was first class from beginning tq end and a rising vote of thanks was' given him at its close. We regret we cannot give space and print it entire. We give an original poem with which he closed : The day Is fair antf o'er all the land, In verdure clothed on either hand Kmiles upward to the summer sky, To cheer the heart and please the eye. The air la pure, the breezes play Through wavering grass and flowers to day, The hills in grandeur proudly stand Like giant watchmen ot the land. From Pomporaug you catch the gleam ' Ot sunlight on the flowing stream, While Nonewaug in gentle rills, The soul with resttul pleasure thrills. The birds are singingjoyful praise To Illra who made these summer days, All nature, with united voice, isids the soul of man rejoice. i . I Rejoice that we have lived and grown Until we stand almost alone, Until our flag has been unfurled To every breeze throughout the world. Rejoice that schools are everywhere Free as the sunshine and the air, And that the church proclaims the truth Of Revelation to the youth And bids them turn from all that harms And And their rest in Jesus' arms, Rejoice that we can live to-day, That each may win whate'er he may. That each may do the best he can, May stand erect a living man Slay work and none may bid him cease And may enjoy results in peace. To work ; no help the law denies, Nor yet to wealth--the workmen's prize, Let him vengeane'e quickly draw Upon himself, who breaks this law. The son of anarchy must learn That soon the law must have Its turn, And he who lives to curse and brawl Must learn his rights are very small. We trust the pleasures ot this day From us may never pass away, But that the hills, now clothed with green, And fruitful valleys spread between. And Nature smiling, wondrous fair, May lead us lrom an hour ot care, May miike us better and more true In doing what we find to do. We pray that God our land may bless, May fill it with his holiness, May lead us here where'er we go, In jovful hours or hours oi woe, And when our earthly race Is won, May we hear the words, "Well done." Woodbury has always came nobly to the front on all occasions when demon strations of a public character have been held. The only times this occasion was equalled were at the bi-centennial in 1859 when there was a two days' celebration, with an attendance of 15,000 people, and in 181 when the soldiers' monument was dedicated, when the attendance was about 3000. Much praise is due the gentlemen in charge for their efforts to make the celebration the success it was DEATH OF REUBEN MARTIN. Another of our aged citizens has passed on to the majority. Reuben B Martin departed this life on Saturday, July 7, in the 82d year of his life, hav ing been born January 14, 1813. He has been for a considerable length of time in feeble health from diseases incident to old age, which have at length conquer ed. Mr Martin has been a prominent and useful citizen during his long life. He wa3 for quite a number of years the trial justice of the town, down to the time or his disqualification for holding the office by arriving at the age of 70 years. For many years he was a select man, carefully guarding the town's in terest. The several other offices of trust in our community he has borne with fidelity and acceptance. He was a kind neighbor and friend, an affectionate husband and father, and a worthy citi 7-en in all the walks in life. His funeral was attended on Monday, the 9th Burial in the North cemetery, Eev J. L E. Wyckoff officiating. He leaves a son, William Martin, and a daughter, Mrs Richard H. Baldwin, to mourn his de parture. C. H. Daniels is now running a large route, carrying a complete stock of sea food and is giving the best of satisfac tion everywhere. Mr Daniels caters to the best class of people and by integrity and upright business methods has won the confidence of the people throughout this section. He has regular days for his different routes and he can always be depended upon to be, like a good watch, always "on time," every time. A sad accident happened to one of the little sons of Dr D. R. Rodger by which one of his arms was broken in two places above the elbow. Mr White and daughter of Brooklyn and a daughter of Walter S. Curtis sailed for a sojourn in Europe, last Sat urday. It is well known that Mrs Susan R. Shove has purchased the Orenaug Rock range of hills, and is, at large expense, laying out a beautiful mountain paik with intentions of presenting it to the town for a public pleasure ground. A few nights ago some dispicable hood lums entered on her grounds and defaced and injured some valuable geological specimens which she had at much ex pense collected and placed in her wall. Perhaps the rascals do not know that this is a crime against the law to which a severe penalty is attached. Perhaps, too, they do not know the officers are on their trail and it caught they will be severely punished. ; It is difficult to see why even a low hoodlum can see any fun in such wanton and malicious mis chief. v MINOltTOWN.

The Grange had a picnic, with literary exercises in the church. All of which was very creditable, but in the midst of it the young and beautiful wife of Rob ert Swift died in the act of parturition or did1 not survive it more than half an hour. It has cast a gloom over the n tire commuuity. The funeral occurred on Friday. Both mother and child, were in the same casket. The funeral was large and many expressions of grief were manifest. The profoundest sense of sorrow go out in behalf , of the be reaved husband and her father's family. Thus peculiar providence gives double force to the words of David when he said "there is but a step between me and death." ; How euddenly all the fond hopes and aspirations of a household are interrupted and frustrated, when death comes. The church is called to mourn in this instance and the Y. P. S. C. E. loses one of its most devoted and active members as well as the choir, where her voice was always heard and her counten ance was alwaj s cheerful.
