this he apprentccd himself 60 tailoring
firm in Boston and became acquainted with
noted burglar named George Pond, under
whose tuition he soon merged from the petty
thief into professional burglar. One of his
lessons was an extensive robbery in Worces-
ter, the rendezvous of the party being at
Barre. Lowell was his next field of opera

he started ont as a knight Grant of rob

He carried a set of burglars tools, howcv-
er, and was ever on the lookout for
chance to use them. Happening to stray
into the Shaker village at Enfield, N. H.,
he thought it would be a good idea to join
them, in the hope of ''getting chance mt

In one of the burglarics near Greenfield
he was very nearly detected, and to escape
the imminent danger he fled to California.
These various adventures had consumed
several years, and much of the time his
family knew nothing of his whereabouts

had no word from or concerning him til

HOGS.

\ company for insuring hogs lives would
soon he bankrupt, unless they were insured
in the mass, for there would always be
more ut the end of year than at the be-
ginning, even if they were attacked by the
combined army and navy of the United
States. Killing may do to exterminate
Modocs, but it only helps hogs. In the fall
of 1865 and winter of 1866, they were as
sauted by dozen Western States at once,
and million and three quarters dispatched.
Next year nearly two and half million,
and the following year two and three quar-
ter millions were destroyed. 1t was not
necessary to kill more than two and half
million in 1869, and this number was in
creased over hundred thousand the en-
suing year, and over a million the next. In
1912 more than forty-eight hundred
thousand persisted by violence. Think OF
that lot in one drove or in one pile 1t did
no good however, to kill them to that ex,
tent. They only increases the faster. The
people slaughtered in 1928, 5,4l0,314. II
people had better move east, where hogs dc
not throw gates from their hinges or take
possession of unfenced yards.
The hog has no anxieties to trouble him.
A few stones rafting about his head ht
takes as an intimation that he should go out
of your garden, but he does not understand
that he is not expected to come back again
Consequently, by the time you have re
turned into your house he has probably re
turned into your garden. You could mo-
expect a character of that kind to lose flesl
on account of danger. Over hundred
thousand hogs, weighed at Peoria, ILL.,, last
fall and winter, were found to average 33(
pounds, and when deprived of such super
iluities as dead hog does not need, theil
average weight was s72 pounds.

DEATH1 OF HON. ALBERT H..
BAKER.

Hon. Albert l.. Baker a brother of |. V.
Baker, Esq, president of the New York
and Canada railroad, and an uncle of Hon.
|. V. Baker, Jr., of the New York Senate,
died in Buffalo on Thursday last. Judge
Baker was long a resident of Washington
County, n. Y, just across our border,
and was well known to many of our read
ers. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
pays the following tribute to his memory
The deceased was born in Moreau, Sara
toga county, in the year 1916, and consc-
quently was in his fifty-eighth year at the
time of his death. His parents removed
to Fort Ann, Washington county, and he
came to Buffalo about the year 1885 and
studied law with the late Stephen G. Aus
tin. He was admitted to the bar and short
ly after married the eldest daughter of our
well-known citizen James Miller. The
Judge returned to Fort Ann, Washington
county, in 1888, and entered into the active
practice of his profession in partnership
with Hon. L. ID. Culver. The following
year he was elected one of the Judges of
the Court of Common Pleas of Washington
county, and served his term with distinc-
ton, Later he was elected delegate from
the county to the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1916, this being the most important
office he ever held, though had lie been an
aspirant for public honors no doubt he
might have gained high official positions
Judge Baker returned to Buffalo in jan
uary, 1S4S, and resumed the practice of the
law here. He served as Alderman from the
fifth ward during the years 1929. The
Judge, from the date of his last return to
this city, resided here continuously up to
the time of his death, and continued the
active practie of his profession up to the
time of his last illness. Judge Baker was
a man of strict integrity, fine scholarship,
and possessed eminent legal abilities. In
the law of real estate especially he was eX-
tremely well versed. Personally he was a
thorough gentleman in the fullest sense of
the word. His manners were aifable in
the extreme, and his quiet but genial socia-
bility were generally known. He was,
moreover, a true and consistent Christian,
and a lifelong member of the Baptist
church. At the time of his death he was q
prominent member of the Prospect avenue
Baptist church, and was one of the original
| founders of that society 1t might also be
mentioned that he took an active interest
in educational matters, and was prominent
| ly identified with the establishment of the
Central School, some even regarding hin
as the author of that institution. judge
Bakers wife survives him, also two daugh
tiers. His disease was consumption.

MIR. DoRR AT TIE WRECK.

MIR. DoRR AT TIE WRECK.
The New York Herald of Saturday gives
three and half columns of ''late and in
teresting particulars from the wrecked AT
lantic," purporting to be five weeks story
of their special correspondent at Prospect.
A description of the divers is given and
their methods of operation-the manner of
discovering and bringing to the surface,
etc. The account is evidently sensational
and drawn from the imagination of the
writer in many particulars is incor-
rect in data.
We give the account so far as it relates
to our townsman Hon. S. NJ. Dorr. 1t
will be seen that there are evidently several
misstatements, in reference to his move
ments, also that he was at home two weeks
before the date of the He'uMs letter, which
is May Goth. These exaggerations give
evidence of its being sensational. AS Mr..
Dorr is to be invited to speak to our peo-
pie, in narration of his personal expert
ences and observations, we shall have the
true picture before us.
For over a month there has been group
of mourners here searching for the remains
of their beloved ones who were victims of
this terrible disaster. Not until every ray
and vestige of hope had disappeared did
they turn from the scene of the wreck
which has rendered thousand homes
mournful and desolate. Day after day in
fair weather and in foul, have they
stood upon the rocks, promenaded the side
of the half submerged steamer and rowed
around in small boats, hoping almost against
hope that every time diver would come to
the surface he would bring up the mani
mate form of their lost friend. Fathers
have been here in search of their children
husbands in search of their wives, brothers
in search of brothers and sisters, sons and
daughters in search of their lost parents

When you lay before me dead.
In such pallld rest,
ON those passive lips of thine
Not one kiss pressed
Did you wonder-lOoking down
From some higher sphere
Knowing how we two had loved
Many and many year?
Did you think me strange and cold
When ! did not touch,
Even with reverent flnger~tlps,
What had loved so much?
All /! when last you kissed me, dear,
Know you what you said 2 40
"Take this last kiss, my beloved,
Soon shall | be dead
Keep II for solemn sign
Through our loves long night,
TIL you give IL back again
on some morning bright
SO gave you no caress;
But, remembering this,
Warm upon my lips keep
Your last living kiss
