Of nine he came with his father to Rochester,

Of few winters when he taught school. Soon after
becoming of ago he commenced the study Of medicine
with Dr. Huntington, OF Rochester and graduated at
Casteton Medical College IN 1896. Ho commenced
the practice Of medicine with Dr. Page Of Bethel but
removed to Warren about 1873, where he rema ined
one year, during which time he elected captain of

The Messrs. Fairbanks.

The following wel-deserved tribute is the
closing paragraph Of long description Of
the Fairbanks scale works, in the Springfield
Republican i:
In conclusion, il is proper TO speak Of the
Mcssrs. Fairbanks personally, as they stand
in relation TO their iellow.citzens. They
are all eminently representative New En-
gland men, shrewd, modest, economical and
very Industrious; are highly respected by
their workmen, who are chiefly sober, inteli-
gent Yankees, and indeed universally by
their fellow.citzens Much of their wealth
they have expended at home in constructing
for themselves beautiful and tasteful resi-.
dences and notably also in establishing two
very valuable public institutions for the ben
eff and advantage Of their fellow-towusmon.
These are very handsome public library or
atheB@um, and a large academy The athe-
neum is the gift of Hon. Horace Fairbanks,
and contains, besides valuable and well
arranged collection of 5000 volumes, a
public reading-room and an art.gallery,
where | was quite surprised to find one of
Bicrstadts huge cahvases, the Domes Of the
Yosemite, for which LeGrand Lockwood
paid the artist some S25, 900, and which it
is understood Mr.. Fairbanks purchased at
the auction sale of the Lockwood gallery for
$4,000. The Fairbanks collection contains
a number Of other less pretentious but far
more meritorious pictures among them two
very pretty landscapes by Whittredge and
Clifford. The academy was founded by Mr..
Thaddeus Fairbanks at an expense Of $780,
600, it is said in addition to which he
makes up the deficiency in its running ac-
count, each year. 1t is considered one of
the best educational institutions in Northern
Vermont. In many other less marked but
quite as credltable ways do the Fairbankses
give evidence alike Of their intelligence,
their wisdom aud their public spirit, and
show that, beyond their shrcwdness and
their business talent. they can lay claim to
some of the nobler traits and merits of the
fathers

State Agricultural College.

The joint committee Of the legislature, to
inquire into the expenditure of the state ag-
ricultural college fund, have made a clear
and square report. The committee after
careful inquiry, finds that the acts of Con-
gress and Of the state Of Vermont, under
which the institution was organized, have
been fully complied with, to the full extent
OF the means Of the trustees that the union
Of classical and industrial education in our
university has been highly successful, as
measured by its results that the doubts
and suspicious with which some Of the COM
mittce entered on their duty have been re.
moved and in conclusion they unite in ask.
ing for the university of Vermont and state
agricultural college the favor Of the sons aud
daughters Of the state; and commend the
institution to the confidence and fostering
care Of the burlington Free Press.

The gossips say that Congressman Will

There was fall of snow the latter part
of last week and the first Of this, which gave
us sleighing. This is an original item.
The Vermont Horse Stock Company 8
property at Shelburne was sold at auction
last week Thursday. The farm was struck
off to LeGrand b. Cannon, Of Burlington,

Mr. Currier, the gentleman from Troy,
has introduced in the House a joint resolu-
ton thanking Mr.. M drill, the gentleman
from 0mpompanoosuc, for his action in vot-
ing against the "salary grab" bill. Nothing
equal to this has appeared since ARENAS

Josiah Grout was elected speaker Of tho
House Tuesday, Mr.. Powers having resigned.
Tuesday, session continued through the night
and was marked by the wranglng usual on
such occasions. Considering the hurried
manner in which some things were disposed
Of it seemed that the "mock session" Of the
House and Senate might have been dispensed
with. However, if it served to quicken the
mental perceptions OF some Of the members
it may not have been in vain. The House
presented a fine silver set to Speaker Pow
ers; the presentation was made by Munson,
of Manchester, and replied to by Mr.. Pow
ers in his usual happy way, The legisla-
ture adjourned at Wednesday morning
Governor Peck has nominated Hon. Alex
is I. Smith, Of New Haven, Thomas l.. Shell
don, of Rupert, John b. Mead, of Randolph,
G. Horace Hubbard, Of Springfield, Orville
s. Bliss, Of Georgia, and Edwin ID. Mason
Of Richmond, as the gentlemen to compose
the State Board of Agriculture. These are
practical men, all Republicans, and their
nomination makes ga dell o. hutterin' in
some ring circles, and notably in the Poland
ring, the junior Of the Journal being busy
spreading stories against them.-Arglls.
We don't think the governors nomina'
tons could be much improved upon. IL i;
objected that these gentlemen are all farm
ers, but inasmuch as the practical working
Of the board never had anything to do with
anything but agriculture we see no very
great objection in that As Mead was the
first "man who dared" in the opposition tC
Poland ia this district, We are not surprised
TO sec Bro. 10. rave little that he should
be nominated on the board.

1--WE would like to know what that st.
Johnsbury delegation to Portland last week
did with all those corks extracted during
their absence. We don't wish TO insinuate
anything but, really, we don't like to see SO

The Portland Transcript of about the
same date speaks thus
"A heavy responsibility rests upon those
who place intoxicating liquors on their ia
bles or introduce them at public entertain
ments. Scenes like those witnessed at re.
cent supper giren 10 citiz ems from abroad

Now if these two items refer to one aud
the same transaction, isn't it about time for
somebody to rise and explain Mon tpelier
