1 11 ATWOdll AHEAD AS I'SUAL.
What might be termed a peculiar
hrijipunino; ,vith a laughable ending took
plncc at the residence of George Harper
i few days ago. The principal actors in
: this little drama were Mr , a well
known farmer, and I)r F. O. Atwood.
It. appears that Or Atwood had hem
truth. g souk: of Mr Harper's newly pur
eliaicd cows for tuberculosis arid having
home spare time, got into a buggy which
: stood in the yard. The day being quite
! warm ai.d he feeling somewhat drowsy
from overwork, dropped oil' to sleep,
and while io this condition his hat
dropped oil upon the sent. Whether
the.e was hayseed in Ir Atwood's hair
and the small birds thought they would
get a meal, or for some other reason,
' one of those little scavengers lit on I)r
Atwood" hi ad. lie waked up about the
same time, and feeling something pe
culiar on his top-knot instinctively re
placed his hat win re it belonged, there
by imprisoning the bird. .lust then
Mr came along and commenced to
give r Atwood a tlrst-ciass totigue
lashing, accusing him of going around
killing people's; cows which .were per
fectly healthy, etc., and among other re
marks lie intimated that he didn't be
lieve I r Atwood knew anything about
tuberculosis. Dr Atwood quietly re-
l marked that there was a great many
things which Mr did not .believe,
which, however, were true and incident
ally remarked .that he supposed Mr ,
would not believe that it he, Atwood, re
moved his hat that a bird would fly out
from underneath it. Mr Vast a look
of w ithering scorn at him and wondered
. in his own mind if the young veterinary
bad suddenly become insane. ''That is
one of your regular Atwood tricks,"
remarked Mr -. "(io away from me
wi:h your note eii.-c."' But Dr Atwood
persisted and was willing to bet that
what he had said would happen. Mr
I""
i out a s;-" note and said, "Now let
us sen that bird it you dare."' Dr At
wood removed his hat. Sure enough
the oird fluttered out. To Say that Mr
v. as surprised i-. to put it mildly and
if anyone could have seen his face he
could have studied human nature
enough to last him all the days of his
life.
I I ,s 1 IMOMA I. TO ItKV M It TOLLES.
The surprise party given by the people
of the Methodist church to their former
pastor, liev Mr Tulles, was a splendid
ucce-s. Mr Tolles, who has been in
poor hi alih for some time, returned a
-ihort time ago from Colorado, having to
give up ii parish in that state, and on his
return a number of his former parishion
ers conceived the idea of giving a pound
social)!!1 for his benefit. So on Tuesday
evening, November 10, the people began
to gravitate toward the class room of the
Methodist church, all carrying a pound
of something, and when all had arrived
and presented their offering to the coro
mi'ti e there was no longer a pound soci
i able but a sociable with many pouuds of
l the good things of life to back it up.
i liev Mr Tulles was visiting, that evening,
: at the residence of Mr Wilder. Rev Air
j Ford, the present pastor of the church,
! asked him to come down to the lecture
room of the church as there was a nuiu
I ber of the young people gathered there
; who would he pleased to see him. Mr
S Tolles readily consented to meet with
the young people. On his arrival at the
jchutch he was immediately surrounded
, by those present and then the meaning
J of the whole thing seemed to dawn upon
(him. A purse of -SIT was presented to
i him, besides a good many pounds of
; those things which go to make life pleas
ant iu the household. Mr Tolles was af
fected to tears and thanked the people
heartily for their kiuducss and good will,
the expression of which must ever re
main a pleasant episode in his memory.

WOODBURY.
THE SAGE OK WOODBURY. WILLIAM
COTHREX HAS MADE A KEfLTATION
WITH HIS FEN AS WELL AS AT TOE IiAR.
William Cothren is sometimes called
the Sage of Woodbury. He is known
throughout that region as a lawyer, and
is known even more widely as a historian.
He has proposed a meeting some day of
all the lawyers in the state who, like
himself, are more than 70 years old.
Mr Cothren will be 77 years old ou
November 2S, the oldest lawyer in Litch
field county. He was burr, in F.inning
ton, Me., a descendant of a soldier in
King Philip's war, of a soldier in the war
between England and France, of h lieu
tenant in the Revolutionary War, and
of a fsergeant in the War of 1812. He
himself gave freely of hh means (luting
the civil war, serving on committees for
the enlistment of soldiers, eating for
soldiers' families and actin
way as the soldiers' friend.
in "very I
Preparing for college at the Faruihig
tou Academy, he was graduated from
Bowdoin in 1S13, and in 1840 he received
his second degree there in course, and
in 1847 the degree of Master of Arts, ad
eundem, at Yale. He studied law in the
offices of Robert Goodenough, of Farm
ington, Me., and of .Charles B. Phelps,
of Woodbury, Conn.
He opened an office in Woodbury as
soon as he was admitted to the Bar in
Litchfield county, in 1815, and soon
built up a lucrative practice, which he
still retains. He hss been active in pub
lic affairs and was County Commissioner
in 1851. He was declared elected sena
tor in the Sixteenth district in 1855, but
was later unseated by his opponent on a
technicality which has since been declar
ed without force in other contests. He
was elected representative in 1882.
He was admitted an attorney aud coun
sellor of the United States Circuit Court
in April, 1S."(!, and attorney and counsel
lor in the Supreme Court of the United
States March 8, 1SG5. On May 5, 1847,
he was elected a corresponding member
of the New England Historico-Genealog-
ical Society, in Boston ; on November
23, 1S52, a member of the Connecticut
Historical Society, of which he was vice
president for many years; on April 24,
1S54, an honorary member of the Old
Colony Historical Society, of Plymouth,
Mass. ; on January 17, 1855. a corres
ponding member of the Wisconsin His
torical Society ; on Febuary 3, 1800, a
corresponding member of the Vermont
Historical Society, and on September 18,
1861, a correspondend member of the
Maine Historical Society.
He was elected Worshipful Master of
King Solomon's Lodge, No. 7, F. and
A. M., of Woodbury, in December, 1852,
and held the office two years. He was
chosen a member of Phi Beta Kappa So
ciety, Alpha of Maine, in 1873, and a
member of the Sons of the American
Revolution in 1889. He is a member of
the First Congregational church in
Woodbury. He was Justice of the Peace
until he reached the age limit, and also
notary public.
Mr Cothren was one of the organizers
of the republican party in Connecticut,
but never has been a seeker after political
office.
He married on September 3, 1S19, Mary
Jane Steele, a descendant of John Steele,
first secretary of the Colony of Connecti
cut, and of the Rev Benjamin Colton, of
West Hartford. They had one child,
who died young.
Mr Cothren has long been a contribu
tor of poems and sketches in Ithe maga
zines and newspapers and has published
legal and historical fpamphlets, but his
greatest work is "Cothren's History of
Woodbury." The first volume was pub
lished in 1S45. It was a pioneer m the
field of local history in New England
towns. Its genealogical record, prepar
ed with great pains, has been invalua
able, the list of families including many
of national reputation, like that ot
Gen William T. Sherman, whose
ancestors are buried in Woodbury
