ceived for his improvements was a gold medal
from the Governor of his State for his im-
provement in circular saws. His inventions
and improvements were mostly stolen from
him. He met with such poor success in in
PRODUCING his inventions, that he destroyed
very many after completing them. He was
the Oldest Royal Arch Mason in the State, if
not in New England, or the United States.
He had been a mason, in good standing,
almost seventy years. He will be buried
with masonic honors by Sloan Lodge OF
Fairfield, Friday, at o'clock P. M. Masonic

The "MAryE FARMERS ALMANAC, that
household friend and companion, with its IA
mliar title page-has again made its appear
ance from the press of the veteran publishers
(whose names are as familiar to its readers
as that of Daniel Robinson), Messrs. Masters
& Livermore, of IIallowell. The very style
of the title page, that has been wont to greet
the eyes of Maine Farmers for more than
half century, has been preserved even the
rustic view still doing service as a frontis-
piece. We all know what the picture repre-
sents, and can draw it anew from memory-a
spacious farm house; a nicely builded,
smooth capped load of hay, drawn by the
sleek oxen up the lane into the yard; the
plow, rake and shovel resting in the fore
ground; and the ''cow with crumpled horn
quietly chewing the cud of contentment.
Memory may people the picture with addi-
tional attractions as we call to mind those
who once looked upon it, but before whose
eyes the curtain of night has fallen.
During these fifty years, how many farm
ers' boys, widely scattered now from the old
homesteads, have taken from its looped posi-
ton in the chimney corner, where it has hung
by the receipt book and the report on town
accounts, the Maine Farmers Almanac; ad-
mired as works of art the pictures emblem
atical Of the months; read the discussions in
the calendar enforcing good morals and
teaching the right methods of dressing lands;
puzzled over the puzzles, and gathered wis.,
dom from the practical hits on live topics,
good for any month in the year, to be well
shaken before taken"
And then the good mother-how do these
pictures that appear upon the pages of the
old Almanac speak of her innocent, confid-
ing faith in the weather predictions, wonder
ing how it was ''they could hit them so nigh! !"
The changes in the moon, rise and fall Of
tides, eclipses, line storms, lengthening and
shortening of days, were subjects that made
the Almanac to her budget of treasures.
And so it has been valuable to all classes in
greater or less degree; it would be hard work
to ''keep house" without the Maine Farmers
Almanac; and as it is now well on its march
down the last half Of the century, the present
generation can but wish it God-speed, and
here's health to the publishers land may
they live a thousand years ~
