The wonderful Vermont
EBOy.

Mr.. Editor-Being few days
since in the vicinity Of Royalton VT,
on business connected with my Bible
agency, | was induced by the reports
I had often seen in the public prints
OF remarkable boy Of that town, to
pay him a visit. The name of this
precious youth is Truman Henry SAT-
ford, Of Royalton, VT He was born
on the 9th day Of January, 1885,
He is now little more than ten years
old. His constitution is frail, his
health, though more robustthan year
since, is yet delicate, his limbs small,
his hair dark, his eyes dark, project
ing and indescribably brilliant, and
his countenance pallid, yet open, smil-
ing and beaming with intelligence
He is exceedingly modest and unas-
suming. He never boasts; never
shows the least pride after performing
his wonderful intellectual exploits
But he is retiring in his manners, tho
free to converse when spoken to, and
in disposition as gentle as lamb. He
probably does not fully realize his
greatness. He reads every thing that
comes in his way; consequently, he Of
ten sees the various putfs of him that
are frequently seen floating in the pa
pers. He is also often complimented
by distinguished visitors. But his pa
rents tell him not to believe all these
encomiums, as there is often great
deal OF humbug in the world. Thu
has the effect 20 make him quite un
mindful of praise. His wonderful
powers Of mind began to be deyel
oped when very young. At the ag
Of twenty months he learned his LET
ters. Before three years old, he woul'
reckon time upon a clock in tuitively.
He also learned to enumerate &C

years old; but this he did not like

ner of getting up clocks as practised in
this city. In the first place, the case
which as you observe, is veneered with
mahogany, constitutes an entirely sep
arate business by itself Cases arc
made by machinery, propelled by
steam. The steam is raised mostly by
the shavings. saw dust, and refuse
lumber, which would be useless for any
thing but fuel. The pine stuff is saw
ed off the right length and width by
steam saws-it is also planned by the
same power. The pieces intended for
the front of the case, are sawed long
enough so that one piece is sufficient
| for the sides, top and bottom. These
long pieces are run through machine
which gives them what is called the U
G shape.
One machine, with boy to tend it,
forms enough for fifteen hundred cases
a day. The thin mahogany veneer
| ing, which by the way is bought OF
the mahogany dealers, ready sawed,
is then put on with glue and pressed
down with screw presses till the glue IS
cold. II then adheres with as much
lfrmness as though a part of the same
growth. The long pieces after being
polished, are then sawed into four
nieces suitable for the sides and end,
and with level to match each other.
The pieces for the door are sawed IN
the same way, and the pieces are then
glued and matched together without
any more labor in fitting. The whole
case is turned out and delivered iorseV-

carried on in his mind with the rapid
ity Of lightning, and then dashed on
the slate, no matter which end first
His thirst for all kinds Of knowledge
is very great, The whole circle Of
the sciences is as familiar to him as
household word. His father obtained
for him Gregory's Dictionary Of the
Arts and Sciences, in three large vol.
umes. This work, you know, is a
vast Encyclopedia of knowledge,
treating briefly upon all branches of
human knowledge. This was just the
work he wanted; for an outline Of any
thing is enough--he can make the
rest. II was this book that first gave
him taste for the higher mathematics.
Hence he found the definition ofa log
arithm, and from this alone went on
and made almost an entire table Of
them before ever seeing one.
One day he went to his father and
told him he wanted to calculate the
eclipses and make an Almanac! He
said he wanted some books and instru-
ments. His father tried to put him
oil, but the boy followed him into the
field and whithersoever he vent, beg
ging him for books and Instruments
with most affecting importunity.---
Finally his father promised to accom-
pany him to Dartmouth College, and
obtain for him if possible, what he
wanted. At this, the boy was quite
overjoyed; so much so, that when they
hove in sight OF the college, he cried
out in raptures, ooh, there is the col.
lege! there are the books! there are
the instruments" But they did not
find all they wanted. AT Norwich
however they made up their compile
ment. On coming home, the boy took

the middle, rolling to and fro, and
dashing through its dry and tedious
formulas, went out at both ends. By
the way, this is his usual mode Of
study. lie does not begin any book
at the beginning, but always in the
middle, and then goes with rush both
ways. | asked him if when he open
ed Gummere's Astronomy in the mid
die, he could comprehend those COM
plicated formulas which depended on
previous demonstrations. He replied,
he could generally, but sometimes he
"looked back little" On arriving
at home, he projected several eclipses,
and also calculated them through all
their tedious operations by figures
This, as all matbematicians know, in

mathematics, and also OF formulas and
