Some fifty or sixty years
ago, a man named Isaac Phil
lips went from North Bridge.
water to the southern states and
engaged in the business of buy
ing and selling slaves. He
amassed a fortune in this nefa-
rious business. 1t is said that
he deposited some $4,000 in
some bank in New York city,
where it has been'on interest
ever since, and for which the
bank officers are now trying to
find an owner. There is Of
course considerable scrabbling
for that large amount of prop
erty. 1t is presumed that he
left no children. There are a
great many nephews and neices
Of the above named Isaac Phil
lips in Easton, Stoughton, the
Bridgewaters, and in the re.
gion around about these towns.
The point now to be proved is
whether the Isaac Phillips
aforesaid is the one that depos.
tied that money in New Y ork.
If these heirs can prove that
he really was the man, then
the money is theirs.
There once lived in a small
cottage on a cross.road leading
from Dickermans corner in
this town to North Bridgewa.
ter, an old lady by the name of
Susan Phillips. She obtained
her livelihood by braiding
straw and fitting boots. She
guarded her hucklebery pas
ture with vigilance, aud woe
betide the children that dared
to fill their baskets from its
bushes. The old lady died
five or six years ago, at all ad-
vauced age, and at her request
the large family Bible, con-
tanning the record of the Phil
lips family, was placed under
her head and buried with her
in the grave. 1t was thought
that this Bible would be Of
service in looking up Of the
pedigree in looking the pedi.
gree Of the Philips family.

Pictorial Family Register.
We hardly know how to des-
cribe it, but may say shat it
combines the features of a very
tasteful family photograph
album with a complete and
Systematically arranged family
history. 1t has evidently been
prepared with great care to
meet a real want in society. In
every family there are sacred
memories, connected with the
living and the dead, and a safe,
elegant and tasteful arrange
ment for preserving fuller
record of them than is con-
venient in the Family Bible, is
often felt to be exceedingly
desirable. The publishers of
the work before us have provi.
ded for this in admirable style.
A great deal of information,
both interesting and valuable,
in the history of every family,
is constantly being forgotten
and lost, for the want Of some
means just such as this. Greg.

any other person or persons
proposition or propositions to
do work, that they think are
equitable and for the interest
of the Company, than in either
or all such cases, they are auth

Provided, no contract shall
be made binding the Company
