GENEROUS DoNATIoNs.-Da r.
Campbell, Esq, of Windsor, formerly a
merchant of Boston, has within a few
days made very generous donations to
several towns in this vicinity. Mr..
Campbell, we believe, was brother of
the late A. S. Campbell of this place, is
some eighty or more years of age, with
no family, being bachelor, but having
accumulated handsome fortune he has
decided to dispose of it in his life time.
and has made very generous as we'll as
very sensible donations. To the town
of Westminster he has given $4,000,
Grafton $4,000 and Athens $4,000, each
of the sums to be kept in trust, the in
come from which is to be used for the
INDECENT poor of the towns named. We
also learn that the towns of Springfield,
and Windsor have also received $4,000
each for the same purpose.
Mr.. Campbell we think, has resided
for some years with the family of Col.
Hiram Harlow, where we met him a
year since, when he seemed to be very
smart and well for one of his years.
He is evidently reading man and
of modern things, as a large file of
daily newspapers belonging to him
in the office PLAINLY indicated, and he has
now marked the evening of his days with
an act as generous as it is rare, and
certainly happy one for the closing
years of successful life.
