MANCHESTER 
Last Friday Senator Shaw and two 
of his fellow senators at the State 
House called at the office of the se- 
Jectmen and presented the board with 
the ‘ only and original quill” used by 
the Governor in signing the bill for 
dredging Manchester harbor. The 
Chief Executive of the state had evi- 
dently experienced some difficulty in 
signing the document and had to use 
more than one pen, for according to 
the accounts of last week the quill he 
had used was procured by a party who 
brought it to Manchester and pre- 
sented it to E. P. Stanley. Perhaps 
this pen was of a poor quality, for 
what is claimed as the original and 
only pen was procured by Senator 
Shaw who had a representative 
present when the bill was signed. At 
any rate the quill is now in the pos- 
session of the selectmen, and is sup- 
posed to be the doxafide article.
