ANOTHER QUESTION IN ARITHMETIC
Editor Of tie Herald: Receiving, so
promptly, solution of my question in
arithmetic, venture to send you another
practical example, which originated as
follows
Being in pursuit of new stove, the
stove dealer said to me-"Why not buy a
JTeeStoae stove ? 1t will save half your
wood !" "Better buy t1oo, them" said I,
Sand save the aohoZe ~ But, without
adopting the apparent conclusion involved
in my reply, the following questions are
entirely legitimate and fair:
Notwithstanding the correctness of the
dealers statement, and calling my present
cost of wood $25 per an7aatna, payable in
advance, how long will it take two free
stone stoves, at S25 each, payable in ad-
vance, to pay for themselves, 6 per cent
simple interest being reckoned during
said time on the money invested in stoves
and wood.
Second Surprising only one stove were
needed, in how much less tiae would it
pay for itself than the two would, inter-
est being reckoned same az above.
THIRD Under what circumstances
would it be just as economical to buy two
stoves as one
In giving answers to the above, $50
days may be reckoned year. b.

THE RUTLAND HERALD The Man
chester journal has in a very compliment
try manner alluded to the HERALD and
its management, in its issue of January
Gath, for which they will accept our
grateful acknowledgements, trusting that
our relations in the failure may be as
pleas INT AID our columns merit the high
enconiums which they have been pleased
to pay it.
"But few people, we think, are aware of
the Importance of a daily paper, to the
section in which it is published.
The Rutland Daily HERALD is, so far
az news is concerned, fully up to the New
York dailies And the Messrs. futile
suo" great enterprise, III FURNISHING 50
good daily paper. They ought to make
money, and we hope they do.
Many are not aware of the amount of
time and thought it takes to get out a
daily newspaper, with all its telegraphic,
local, and other news, to be classified and
arranged every day, to say nothing of the
ardunu- duties of the Editor-in-Chief who
must overlook everything that goes into
the paper. There is no "let up" night or
day. and the system must be perfect, to
insure the paper being out on time.
During the SUNNI VIC often hoar tho
remark from our city friends, as they look
over the morning HERALD at breakfast,
that it is surprising that so good a paper
can be sustained in the country.
We have taken the paper since it was
first started, and should feel lost without
it now, 81 it gives the news in the NOR
ming that we should otherwise not get
until the arrival eff the New York papers
in the evening, We have said this much
because we feel it is a just recognition of
the enterprise of the publishers of the
HERALD and its Editor.
