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

WARREN-
A SAD FOURTH.
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
