THE BANNER-WATCHMAN, ATHENS, GEORGIA MAY 28, 1889.
CHARMED BY A S JAKE.
Thrilling Exp^Hence of a L:tle Lady ef
G ushamville.
Uniox Poisi, Oa., May 24.—A re
markable ease ol' -.i ike-ebarmhig is re
ported from Grt*«i.amville this week.
The mother of little Belle Hart saw
lier child, Saturday with stick in hand,
steadfastly gazing at a large coach-
whip snake, both snake and ehild look
ing intently at eaeh other, and neither
moving an inch.
The child was pulled away by her
mother,when Belle,trembling from head
to foot, "began to vehemently cry. She
explained that she intended killing the
snake hut it caught her eye. Try as
•slip would—and horror stricken as she
was she tried hard—she could not with
draw her eyes from the snake, and she
feels that if she had not been taken
•nway from the spot by her mother, she
-could not much longer have resisted an
influence which seemed to urge her to
utdvauce to where the snake was on the
ground.
HARRIED IN WASHINGTON.
®ut nqt Han and Wife in Georgia—An Im
portant Trial.
Hawhixs vii.i.k, Ga., May 25.—An
-important ease is on trial in Liberty
^Superior Court, and the decision in it
•will be read with interest.
Several months ago Charles Tutty
mud his wife came to this county from
-Smith Carolina. The wife i> a negress,
.the marriage having been solemnized in
Washington, 1). CV, long before their
.Southern trip.
Immediately on their presence and
relationship being known in the county,
they were arresed , under the Georgia
■statute preventing the inter-marrying
#>f whites and blacks, and they were in
dicted for iclultery.
Intermarriage of the races is legal in
YLe District of Columbia, and the ac
tion here brings up a conflict of laws,
in which the validity of the Georgia
-statute alluded to is to be tested, Tutty
being wealthy, and having resolved to
-carry the case to the court of last re
port.
Extraordinary Bone Scratching.
Tlcrliert Sperry, Tremont, Ill., had
Erysipelas in both legs. Confined to
the house'six weeks. He says. “When
I was able to get on my legs, 1 had an
itching sensation that nearly run me
crazy. 1 scratched them raw to the
bones. Tried everything without relief.
I was tormented m this way for two
’years. I then found Clarke’s Extract
of Flax (Papillon) Skin Cure at the
Drugstore, used it, and it has cured me
sound and well.

Martel, a well-known Montreal artist,

France, informing him that bis step
daughter, Hortense Leduc, has become
heiress of 22,000,000 francs, or about $4,-
400, through the death of Mr.. Here'*,
a millionaire. The fortunate heiress
was born in Montreal, and is well
known in innsieal and social eireles

the acquaintance o'f Iledell, who treated
her as his own child. A few years ago
Madame Martel visited her daughter in

“KILL A NIGGER.”
Savannah, Ga., May 25.—The trial
of Alonzo Dawson, in Liberty superior
court for murder, has resulted in his
conviction.
The killing occurred at a dance.
Dawson and a party of friends were
drinking, and one of the crowd fired

“Don’t waste powder and hall—kill a
nigger,” shouted Dawson, and drawing
his weapon, he, fired at a young negro
named Andrew Muiichuson, who died
from the effects of the hall which hit
him. A negro woman who was with
Munchuson was also shot by Dawson,
hut not fatally hurt.
The killing occurred last November.

STRANGLED TO DEATH.
'A Scvon-Year-Oid Negro Girl cf Georgia
Who is a Murderess.
WakinKvjjf.i.!-:, Ga., May 25.—The
jury of the- coroner decided that the
killing of the negro infant on Mr..James
Frazier’s plantation was “contrary to
-the laws of the state.”
•Anna* Hester, the negro girl who
strangled the nine-months-old infant
and caused its death, is seven years of
age. She was put in jail at Watkius-
vilie.
Later she was carried hack to the
scene of her crime, where her eoinmit-

Dying Up.
The Walton News says: The chick
ens around Monroe and throughout the
county are said to be dying up rapidly.
The disease that is carrying them off in
such large numbers is nervous pros
tration superinduced by- dread of the
approaching district meeting, to he
held in Monroe about the last of June.
This is the disease that is effecting
the frying size all over Georgia. It is
more destructive than the cholera, es
pecially about campmeeting time.

Subs taut ial Dwellings Tliat Were Old Be
fore Hie Revolution—House In Which
Bend diet Arnold Learned to Be a Drug-
glut—John Trott’s Cider ‘•Flips.”
While there are several neglected and
isolated houses scattered throughout va
rious parts of Connecticut of greater age
than any In Norwich, probably nowhere
else in this country is to be found such a
group of ancient dwellings as that in this
old town. The famous stone house of
Guilford, which was a fortress in Indian
times and the history of which runs back
to 1681), is only twenty years older than
some of this group. They all stand in
historic Norwich Town, which a cen
tury or more ago was Qie town proper,
ami when the present site of the city was
known as “The Landing." Indians held
possession of the river in those days, and
kept the white settlers away. Here gen
eration after generation of families have
been reared, nnd the houses remain now
almost as they did then. The people
here have carnl more to keep their pos
sessions intact than to have modern im
provements, until Norwich is pre-emi
nently the banner historical city of New
England.
THE BUS9 MANSION.
Passing Up the two aristocratic thor
oughfares of the city, liroadway and
Washington street, to the “plains" and
out upon the old road, the change is
most remarkable. Fashionable domiciles
give way to ancient looking rookeries,
who.se weather beaten sides are marked
with time. The first and most famous
of these old dwellings is the Bliss house,
a substantial two story mansion, which
stands squarely on the main road to the
old town. It is the oldest house in New
London county, having been built in (
165/1 by Thomas Bliss, one of the original
settlers of Norwich. It was, without
doubt, the first dwelling built in eastern
Connecticut. The first town clerk had
his office in this house for years. From
the time of its erection, 280 years ago,
the old house remained in the uninter
rupted ownership of tho Bliss family
until a few years ago, when it was sold
to Mr. Angel Stead, the present owner.
A few rods south of this old family
mansion stands another ancient build
ing, an odd, angular, unpainted, gam
brel roofed structure, which is now used
as a dwelling by a very old lady. Thi3
little building was erected long before
the revolution for the purpose of weav
ing stockings in. Tho sign which for
years hung over the door represented an
unsymmetrical leg clothed in a gaudy
stocking. But this industry was evi
dently unprofitable, and it was succeeded
by a newspaper, tho first in Connecticut.
Separated from this building by a nar
row lane is the Reynolds homestead, and
above the front door are scrolled tho fig
ures 1656, representing the year in which
it was built. This house has remained
in the Reynolds family since tho land
was set aside for them, and is now occu
pied by the family of the late Henry L.
Reynolds.
Diagonally across the street from the
Blisrf place, partially hidden by shrubs
and trees, is a brown two story dwelling
known as the Thomas Leffingwell house.
It is fully 200 years old. Tho old stone
chimney, which is twelve feet square at
its base, and the stones of which were
laid in clay instead of mortar, tho ma
terial that is used in tho construction of
walls today, t^till performs its service.
THE OLD DRUG STORE.
Above this place is another but more
unpretentious house, also once tho prop
erty of tho Lefflngwells. It is, if any
thing, a trifle older than the former aud
much smaller. Tho Leffingwells |vero a
big family and very prominent in early
history. Col. Christopher Lefllngwell’s
massive mansion is next in order. The
colonel was methodically correct, and the
house stands duo north and south, one
angle of its frame protruding partially
out into tho road. Col. Leffingwell was
the first postmaster of the <yld town,
operated the first paper mill in eastern
Connecticut, and carried on various other
industries.
These six places are all within a radius
of fifteen rods, while some fifty rods fur
ther on another line of ancient dwellings
is approached. First comes the resi
dence of Mrs. Laura Thurston and Mr
Henry McNelly, which was the home of
Dr. Joshua Lathrop long before the rev
olution. Directly opposite is the dwell
ing of the family of the late William C.
Gilman, which was occupied by Dr.
Daniel Lathrop at the same time that
Joshua occupied the other. Theso broth
ers kept the first drug store which was
opened between Hartford and Boston.
Their old store was in existence until
two years ago anti was popularly known
as the “Benedict Arnold drug store,’’
because within it Arnold was trained to
be a druggist. Just abovo these two
places stands an immense, gambrel
roofed, venerable looking two story
structure which was the residence of
Gen. Jabez Huntington prior to and dur
ing the revolution.
The house is on land that was deeded
to ancestors of Gen. Huntington by the
Indians, and the mansion lias been in the
hands of the Huntington family for two
centuries. The general and all his sons
were prominent in the revolutionary war.
Nearly opposite the Huntington place is
another old house, built for Governor
Samuel Huntington.
Surrounding Norwich town green is
an endless chain of these venerable man
sions, all 200 or more years old. One of
the most notable is the old Trott place,
which was occupied by John Trott as a
tavern prior to and during the revolu
tionary war, and where Gens. Washing
ton and Lafayette and others often drank
bis famous cider “flips.” The Tracy
house, too, is quite conspicuous and quite
well preserved, as are also the Sylvanus
Jones and the Lathrop places. —Cor. New
York Times.
