states that no epidemic had yet appeared
in that city, but on the contrary, there is

objected that we published, few weeks
since the fact, that a farmer in Belcher-
town cleared nearly $4,000 on the pro-
duct of three-fourlhs of an acre of mHlber-
ries. We have since actually learned an
other fact in relation TO this individual,

public. The gentleman alluded to makes
it a practice to give one.tfh ofall his an.
nual income to charitable objects; and
this year, having been highly prosperous,
his contribution in this way, will not be
less than taoo thousand dollars! Is there
another case in the commonwealth of

name of this benevolent man because we
suppose his humility and unobtrusiveness
would not covet the vain honor of having
his name trumpeted abroad in connection
with his noble liberaIity, which we have
made known to the public without his
knowledg e,-Hampshire Mass. Gazette.
