Mrs. Hawes looked the stranger over and said: "I don't know you." The young man said: "Why, yes you do, I'm your son," calling himself by name. Still the mother persisted in her statements that she didn't know him, till finally he said he would prove it by going to his bedroom. This he proceeded to do. Presently the sisters of young Hawes came in, and he called each one by name and asked them if they did not know their brother. Neither of them did. Mr. Hawes, Sr., was equally hard to convince, but finally the stranger related so many instances known only to members of their own family, that they were forced to believe the stranger to be the lost sailor son and brother.
One fact, however, was difficult of explanation,-whereas Hawes' eyes were blue, the stranger had brown ones. He explained it. satisfactorily by asserting that in the tropics the sun's action had changed their color.
So he was received into the bosom of the family, and the fatted calf killed in his honor.
For a year or more he continued to stay there, living a lazy existence.

CORINNA REALTY BUILDING
One day Thomas Gardner, who had moved to Corinna from Troy, met him in the village and called him by a name other than Hawes. He recog- nized him for a young man born and brought up in Troy.
At first he denied his identity, but his denials did not affect the credulity of Mr. Gardner, nor of another former Troy resident, who was equally sure that he recognized the young man call- ing himself Hawes.
Investigation proved that he had gained full information of the Hawes family and their lost son from a former employe of theirs.
The matter was taken to court, but the young man skipped out and was never heard of again in this vicinity.
Cases of this kind are unique and a reference to this one was made some few years ago, when the papers were full of a similar case, where two men claimed to be the heir to a property bequeathed to a lost child.
At the time of the big fire, which burned the "Bee Hive" on the site of Stewart Library building, Corinna's fire department, which then consisted of a collection of tin pails, was in use at the fire. Sparks flew for long dis- tances over the village and caught the shingles on fire. Finally, a flying brand lodged upon the roof of T. F. Burrill's residence and threatened to destroy the buildings. Mr. Burrill's buildings be-
ing at some distance from the fire, had not been considered in any danger, and all of his pails had been added to the fire company's supply.
However, when the fire caught, it hecame necessary to act, and Mr. Burrill ran to the stream, sat down in the water and then climbed to the roof and sat down on the fire. His meth- od proved effectual and the fire was extinguished.
Some wag, appreciating the humor of the situation, wrote up an account of it and referred to Mr. Burrill's "inven- tion of a fire extinguisher" which had been tried out and found effectual. A few days later a man from New York called on Mr. Burrill for the purpose of buying it.
Since that day, Corinna's fire fight- ing system has been established and today the village is very well pro- tected.
Many changes have come to Corinna since 'Squire Lancey bushed out the first road and settled at Corinna Cen- ter and most of them have been for the better, yet we may well draw les- sons from the lives and experiences of those pioneers who made the present town possible; and it behooves us to pray as did Daniel Eliot of the old days, "Oh, Lord, keep my body from the doctor, my pocketbook from the lawyer and my soul from the devil. Amen."
