PALMER, HAMPDES County, MASH
March Ind, 1874

PALMER, HAMPDEN CoUsTY, MASH
March 2nd, ls7i.S
Mfr. Ed,tor-Dew Sir;
The description which | shall attempt to rem
der herewith, is of Hampden Co., Mass, and
not of the remote and beautiful Yosemite Valley,
or Of the Alpine submits Of perpetual snow,
where the icy peaks glisten in the sunlight,
about which tourists cannot (seemingly) find
adjectives enough to express their admiration
and love of the beautiful and grand, but a de-
s~cription of a nearer, and tanner kind.
Although it is SO near there is a marked diff
ference in the soil and some of its products, and
the chief pursuits of its people are
and manufactures, instead of agriculture in our
own Lamoille. Hampden county is watered by
by the Connecticut, Chicopee, Quaboag and
Westfeld rivers, and the valleys formed by these
streams contain many arabic acres, where the
soil is fertile and adapted to agricultural pur-
suits and stock-raising. The staple product is
hay; tobacco, corn, potatoes and rye are culti-
waited to a considerable extent; fruit also is
abundant in some parts of the county. Aside
from these valleys the surface is quite billy and
the soil rather sterile. Much of the billy por-
TORS are covered with nothing but white birch
bushes, which grow so luxuriantly as to be a
source of annoyance to farmers who find but one
way to rid themselves of this nuisance, and that
is to cut them near the root below an enlarge
ment there is on the shrub. Among the most
useful varieties of timber to be found here may
be mentioned the chestnut, hickory, and oak;
the former is much used for railroad sleepers
and furniture. Although the surface is gener-
orally billy, the highways which connect the
principal cities and villages. lie 10 tho valleys
aforementioned, and are quite level, pleasant
drives.
There is an abundance Of water-power. conse-
quently mills and factories Of all kinds are to be
found in a majority Of the villages.
Springfield, the shire-town and principal city
of the county. is a lively place, and the COM
pletion of the new railroad called the Springfield,
Athol and Northeastern, greatly augments its
business interests, and is q valuable auxiliary
to oil those towns through which it passes. The

BURGLARY AT MILTON Milton has

day night they pried off the front windows
of the Office of Clark, Boariman 4 Co.,
splitting the sash and breaking the fasten-

chisels, wedges, hammers and iron bars
from the saw mill chest of Clark, Water.
man & Co. They broke the door Of the
safe, and the bolts and fastsnings by jriv-
ing wedges and cold chisels between tho
upper part of the door and the body of
the safe. There was in the safe 5000 in
United States bonds belonging to Mrs.
VIM. Ward, SIG in postage stamps be-
longing to Assistant Postmaster Whitney,
a gold watch and chain valued at $3.50,
held in pawn by Jed. p. Clark, aud about
four dollars belonging to G. b. Il 90.
They took everything of value, except the
bonds, which were in an envelop and were
not discovered, though many other envel-
opes, containing papers, were opened, and
with this were thrown upon the floor.
They left upon the table a dark lantern,
which looks us though it had been carried
a long time it is of the fat thin style,
and well adapted to carry in a side peck
ct. They also left a small kid glove, with
the index finger cut off. About three
weeks ago, a man anne to G. b. Il Co.,
and asked for work, claiming that he had
his pockets picked in the cars, and wanted
work to get something to help him along;
he worked but a few days and then left.
Whoever did the job was well acquainted
with the premises, and also with the saw
mill and the place where the tools were
kept, and from this and other reasons, sus-
picion points to this man.

has been built considerably below the av-

After the Tichbornc trials people
must overhaul aud revise their ideas of
the Impossible. Nothing has ever been
attempted so absurd, SO insane one may
almost say, as the scheme of the Austral.
ian butcher to make himself a baronet
and millionaire by simple lying. A young
gentleman had been drowned at sea, who
was heir to a title and a great estate.
His friends, convinced of his death, rave
his heritage to the next of kin. His
mother alone, refused to despair, adver-
tised for the missing one. The advertise
mcnt coming TO the eyes Of a butcher in
Australia, he resolved to persopate the
lost son. There was one chance in a mil
lion that he could succeed. There was no
accidental resemblance of person, Of man.
ner, or of character. MIR. Nasty tried
to get a drink once at Wizards Hotel by
saying he was Charles Sumner. But this
attempt was no less ridiculous. The bar
ouet was a little, delicate, "~scrubby"
man, The Claimant was a man-moun-
tain, weighing $50 pounds. The baronet
spoke French more readily than English !;
the Claimant did not know one word of
the language. Sir Roger belonged to a
widespread family connection Of which
the Claimant had never seen a single
member. Yet he confidently sailed for
England and for seven years fought the
desperate fight which has ended in his
conviction as a %felon, with a varyilg
success which must always remain a wcn-
der to succeeding ages. His trial has
changed mems opinions as to the worth of
human evidence. Dozens of witnesses,
among whom we're Sir Rogers mother,
testified that this was the iightful heir.
Several members Of Parliament espoused
his cause. Popular SUBSCRIPTIONS assisted
him in his scheme. He was defeated at
last by two thipgs-by his own statement
10 regard 10 Mrs. Radcliffe, which all
England ipstnctively cried could moi have
been made by a man born a gentleman,
aud by the evidence Of Lord Bellew, who
said be had tattooed Sir Roger in his
boyhood. Remove these two compara-
lively unimportant incidents from the
case, and it is not impossible that the era
ziest crime against rank and property ever
attempted might have succeeded, by form
of law, in the most aristocratic country
OF earth.

trade, carlirg wool. teaching school and
studying law, the last begun at the age of
10. lie was admitted to the bar at %,
and continued practice till 1929, when
bis political life began with his election as

In 1914 he was the unsuccessful candidate

with that nation. MIR. Fillmore was in
