THE HERALD.
Something Of a Farm.


A correspondent, writing from Peoria,
Illinois, gives the following account
of the scale Rpon which farming is
done at the West:
"The farm of NJ Il. Sullivan, of
Burr Oak, near Chastsworth, Living
ton county, Illinois, it is not only a
big but we'll managed and profitable
enterprise. The farm is eight miles
square, containing 10000 acres-64
sections, government sGrvey. 1t is
subdivided into thirty-two farms OF
1890 acres each. Each farm has a
captain and q first and second lieu
tonanJ, all under control Of a COM
mander-in-chief, its owner and Briga-
dier General, j. M. Miner. There are
$4,000 acres under the plows, over
10000 Of which Is in corn this season,
which looks finely; this required
LOGO bushels of corn for seed this
wear. The remainder Of the farm is
used for grazing, small grain and
grass.
There are two hundred and fifty
miles OF hedge fence, besides other
fences; one hundred and fifty miles OF
ditch for draining wet land two hun
dred men and four hundred work
horses and mules are used on this
farm. There is employed, also, one
surveyor, two book keepers, four
backsmiths and eight carpenters.
An accurate account is kept with
each farm, and with each man, horse
aud mule-horses and mules being
all named or numbered, and charged
with amount paid for them and their
food, and credited with their labor.
There is no more regular or system
attic set Of books kept in any bank
ing or manufacturing establishment
in the country than Mr.. Sullivan's.
The whole of this land was entered
from tho government about twenty
years since by its present owner at
S1.25 per acre. The farm at this
time, with the improvements made
upon it and the personal property
connected with it, is worth about
$2,000,000 so you see we have a
millionaire in Central Illinois in the
person Of sturdy farmer, who shows
"What know abont farming" by
his works, and who can stand in the
centre Of his farm and say truthfully,
81 am monarch Of all | survey"

velvet tightly backward and forward

New CLOTHES RACK.-Mr. c.. w.
Royce of this village is the inventor of
new clothes rack, manufactured by
d. A. Russell of Walpole, N. H. They
are very handy, cheap, and can be fas-
tened to any place. |; is no such thing
as the hat racks recently offered about
here by rogues, but great deal better.
In connection with the above we also
want to say word for a couple of agents
for this article, Mr.. G. j. Perham of
Athens, agent for this county, and Mr..
Shelby agent for Cheshire county in
New Hampshire. Their sales have been
greatly injured by the operations of the
hat rack thieves and their exposure in
the papers. The people very naturally
suspect them, and it is quite amusing to
hear them relate their experiences at
some places. Messrs. Perham q Shelby
are worthy aud honest young men and
deserve the confidence of those upon
whom they call. They are of our own
people and not strangers, and ought pot
to suffer on account of the rogaes who
recently came among us from abroad.
Now then, if one of the above clothes
racks (not peg hat rack) is offered, be
of good cheer and buy you will get a
good thing, and have the pleasure of
having conferred your patronage upon
your own home people.

NAVIGATION AT BELLOWS FALLS IN
lS26.-Mr. Holland Allbee, formerly a
resident of this place, now stopping at
Racine, Wis, writes us of the article
we had some weeks since in relation to
steam navigation here in 1926. He re-
members the craft Ghe Barnett that ar
rived here from Hartford, CT, on that
occasion, and was of those who witness
ed the celebration. He says that closed
all further attempts at steam navigation
for that season, but that they were re-
newed in subsequent seasons, when the
water was not too high or too low, up to
as late as 1882 Mr. Albee was then
living in Walpole village, and well re-
members how the people of the village
rushed to the Bridge to see the steamer
pass up towards the Falls. On one oc-
casion the steamer made quite a stop at
Walpole and Westminster, but there
was no formal reception.

SPRINGFIELD.-Two old gentlemen,
Mr.. Luke Taylor and Mr.. Caleb Taylor,
were returning from the farm of the
former, with load of potatoes, when the
shoe CAME off the wheel as they were
coming down steep hill, pushing Luke,
who was leading the horse, violently over
and bruising him badly, and at the same
time throwing Caleb with the load down
the bank, breaking one leg, dislocating
shoulder, and otherwise severely bruis-
ing him, it is feared beyond permanent
recovery, he being but one or two years
short of ninety years old. The wagon
was complete wreck, but the horse was
not damaged.
A cancer was successfully removed
last Friday, Sept. %, from ehand of Mrs.
Seth Ward of Londonderry, who came
to this place for the purpose, by DIR. c.
W. Scott, Jr,, by the application of ex-
ternal remedies. 1t is of large size, and
may be seen at the Doctors office. An
operation with knife had been performed
sometime previous, which proved of no
benefit.

creased, and the citizens turning out en-
masse soon tracked the boy to piece of
woods on the farm lately owned by I. S.

tirely nude, having taken off the remain
der of his clothing, which he left upon
the piazza of Mr.. Walls house, and was
thoroughly chilled He was taken to

better, and fears are entertained of his

BURGLARIEs AT WEST RUTLAND. -
The Poultney burglars have transferred
their scene of operations to West Rut-
land, where they made successful raid
early Friday morning. A. J. Mead lost
S25, j. E. Manly's pants were rifeG of
$500, and his boy of $500. From
George-Spencer's bedroom, they obtain
ed gold watch and chain valued about
one hundred dollars. Mr.. Spencer had
in the same room considerable sum of
money, but as he had put it in place
of safety as usual before retiring, it was
not found by the robbers. From Arte-
mas Ward they secured $50, and from
Pat.ick McDeed $50. The Herald SAYS
it seems almost impossible that so many
houses should be entered, so many occu-
pied bedrooms should be visited the same
night and not a single one of the occu-
pants disturbed in the least during the
operation, unless chloroform or some
other similar article should be used to
produce Inconsistencies, but the fact of
its accomplishment has been demonstra-
ted and with no probability or suspicion
of the use of chloroform, except in a
single instance at Poultney.
