PERSONAL The burlington Free Press
has the following concerning Hon. } >.
Adams, Secretary of the DO ,rd of Flu
cation, is about to leave Vermont. He
has resigned his office Ms secretary of the
Board, and as CLERK of Chitlcndcn County
has sold hi residence and farm and in IL
few days we understand, to remove with
his family to Jacksonville Florida, winch
is To be his future place of abode. One
OF the chief causes Tor this change, we
suppose, is the necessary Of seeking mil,
der climate for the recovery Of his health
which has become impaired by exposures
and labOrs in our rough climate, such as
few men are equal to, and under which
Mr. Adams robust powers have to some
extent yielded.
Mr.. Adams has done great work in
our state. Taking the SecreIary-hip of
the Board OF Education at lis formation
eleven or twelve years since, lie has lab
ored to bring order out o. chaos AMI life
out Of stupor and s,agnatlun, in our com.
mon school sys EN-, with remarkable ener
gy, industry, and success. He has done
an enormous amount of valuable and poor
y paid labor. We suppose It TO be the
tact that for the first years of his work, his
"a AIRY did not cover his actual expens'ves
No man probably, has wider personal
acquaintance in Vermont and no man will
he more missed from the State. The
State owes him IA very handsome les imon-
ial, in recognition of lis ariuous libors and
for ser> ices rendered, Tor which the con-
ciousness Of duty done to his State and
generation has thus far been his chief re-
ward ; and We trust he will receive it.
Mr.. Adams intends, we believe, 10 IN.
Ter upon the practice Of his profc 'si"n, the
law, in Florida. The opening there for
man OF his ability and powers as Il
speaker must be very good one, and we
shall expect to hear often Of him, AS tax
ing prominent part in The shaping Of the
civil ard political future Of that State.

SETH wETMORE

Came to st. Adams not far from the
year 1900. He was native of Mass
achusetts, and had been unfortunate
in his speculations in Georgia lands,
or in the Yazoo claims, as they were
called. He studied law in Middlebu-
ry, and came to st. Adams to COM
mence practice. After he came here
he married the daughter of Gen.
Shepherd of Massachusetts,, who died
not long after, leaving one son, Will
liam Shepherd Wetmore, now a
wealthy citizen Of Newport, r. l. 1t
does not appear that Mr.. Wetmore
possessed much property when be
came to St Adams, or afterwards ac-
quired much by his practice as law
yer. His second wife was the daugh-
ter of Deacon Smith, and the sister Of
the late Hon. John Smith. She died
many years ago. He was two or three
times elected a member OF the Gener'
al Assembly. Sometime previous TO
1910 he was appointed Sheriff of the
county. At that time it was hazard
Gus to be sheriff on account of the
scarcity of money, the difficulty o.
collecting debts by process of law, and
the general Generalization of the peo
pie. Such a state of things Otter
occurs in new county, where The
settlers are made up of all grades o
persons, coming from different places
and for different reasons. Mr.. Wet
more was unfortunate in his official Oh
ministerial operations, trusting toe
much to the assurances and honesty
of those with whom he bad to deal ~

STARVED TO DEATH.-The results of
the frightful famine in India becomes
more appalling, as more complete re-
ports of its terrible devastation are re-
ceived. The commissioner of Orissa.
in his report to the Bengal govern
ment, estimates the loss of life in that
province of four and half millions,
at from 100000 to 100000, and in
some places to three-fourths of the
whole population. The mortality in
adjoining districts was not less severe
proportionally; SO that a leading paper
in India says, Before the destroying
angel takes its final flight, the tale
will have mounted up beyond a mil
lion known Deaths within an area not
larger than that of England and
Wales, and among people who do
not exceed six millions in number. y
Anothea Indian paper, after an elab-
crate calculation of the number OF
victims of the famine, says: 1--WE are
driven TO conclude that in BENGAL the
famine must have swept away at least
two million souls, or about one
eighteenth Of Che population, taking
10 at the least possible figure

He became embarrassed in his fnan-
cial affairs. and remained so to the
end of his life. He again turned his
attention to the practice of law, and
supported his family 10y that means
Subsequently he was Judge Of Probate
for the county, and held the Office
from his first appointment in 1917 till
he died. He was also a member of
the executive council for Franklin
county for a number of years in sue
cession. In the discharge of his du-
ties under these appointments, he
faithfully served The county and State
TO the entire satisfaction of the peo-
pie generally. He was a useful citi-
zen in all matters that concerned the
welfare and prosperity of the commu-
nifty, and his opinion and advice was
much relied on in all the concerns Of
the village. He was reputed to be a
sound lawyer, though not an eloquent
advocate; and he was honorable in
his practice and business connections
with his professional brethren. For
a long time he was the principal mag
istrate in the town for the trial of
causes, and in that capacity he officia
ted more than any other man in the
town or county. An anecdote is rela-
ted of him, as an instance of absent
mindedness, or rather his want of
skill in remarking the difference be-
tween horses that bore a slight re-
semblance to each other. In early
times, before there was any regular
line of stages between ST. Adams and
the place where the Legislature was
sitting, he borrowed horse of neigh
boring farmer to ride to the seat of
the State government. At the end of
/ the session he returned home, and
sent the horse which he rode to the
supposed owner, who, as soon as he
saw the horse, declared it was not his,
( but an inferior animal He refused
to receive the horse. Mr.. Witmore
was unable, after dilligent search aud
inquiry, to discover any traces of the
horse he had borrowed, and which he
had somehow exchanged away for the
very inferior one ne had rode home
/ The circumstance was the more singu-
I lar, as one of the horses was gelding
and the other a mare. Mr. Witmore,
Of course, was obliged to pay the diff
erence of value between the two ami
mails
Mr.. Wtemore was a respected mem
Der Of the Methodist church. His

tended his funeral, and marched in
procession to the grave. His son,
William Shepherd Wetmore, has since
erected a handsome monument to his
memory. His death took place in
August, 1880, when he was about
sixty-fve years OF age.

A Russian Spendthriit In Paris.

The Paris correspondent to the Nm
ton tells the following story:
Paris is, nevertheless, unusually
gay. A great number of foreigners
have already arrived, and are outshin-
ing the rest of the world in the bril-
liant extravagances so much in vogue
here. One of these new arrivals,
Prince Nariskine, possessor of one of
the great fortunes which have caused
the Russian nobility to be received
through Europe as the modern repre-
sentatives of Aladdins and Fortuna
fuses, happening to dine few even
ings since with a friend who has built
for himself small but most elegant
hotel, fitted up with all the applian-
ces of fashionable luxury, was struck
by the form of the surtout. in silver,
which occupied the centre of the ta-
bic. Having expressed his admira-
ton of it us work Of art, he was sur
prised to find that his host seemed to
hold it in slight esteem. IF you care so
little about it, why not sell it to me p
said Prince Nariskine.
THE centre-piece matches all the
rest of the silver" returned Count d.,
"and | can't sell it to you unless you
buy the rest of the service"
Every good, I'll buy the whole OF
it, responded the prince.
"But it, you want the silver. you
must take the china also, said the
count.
very good, III buy the china also"
replied the prince.
II can't sell you the china unless
you buy the table and chairs" said the
count.
an buy all the furniture of the
room !" said the prince.
But the furniture could not be SOLD
without the house, nor the house
without the stable, nor the stable
without the horses, harnesses, carriag.
es, and all these, one after the other.
the prince declared himself ready to
buy, but one condition.
'Name it" said the count.
at is that if | make this purchase
the transfer shall be effected this very
evening, so that | may have the pleasr
ure of sleeping tonight in my new
purchase, and in your bed
81 accept your condition." replied
the count, who, having sent for his
steward, gave orders for the immedi-
ate removal of his wardrobe and nor
sonal effects, and the preparation of
his bedroom for the reception of the
new master. The steward was then
ordered to produce the plans and bills
/ OF the architect who had constructed
the hotel, the inventories of furniture.
etc, and the receipts of the dealers of
whom the various classes of purchases
had been made; and after the prince
had gone through these, and had
agreed with the count to purchase tho
whole for 100000 francs, regular
bill OF sale was drawn up and duly
signed, and the prince, drawing u roll
of bank notes from his pocket, count
ed out the amount fixed upon, aud
handed it to his friend across the din
ner table, which neither of them had
quilted for an instant during the pro-
gress OF this ecceDtrict proceeding
The two gentlemen then took cup
of coffee together; tho prince doing
the honors of the house now become
his own By pressing his guest to take
a second cup" and the count after an
hour chat with the prince, took bis
leave, aud went on 10 tie rooms ho
had caused to lie taken for him ut an
