DeNATION.-A few of the many friends
of Rev. w. a. Robinson of Barton, made
him very acceptable donation one day
last week. The present consisted Of one
good cow, calf by her side, hay enough
10 winter them, barrel of meal pail
and milking stool. The whole thing
was neatly arranged, and was perfect

richly merits. He graduated at Middle
bury College in 1862, and has many
friends in this place.
