pockets of the tax payers. Even if the su-
perintendent should succeed in obtaining
his forty weeks of schools, we greatly fear
that he would find that all study, like all
work, and no play, would make Jack dull
boy. But there is no particular danger of
this result. We presume that Bakers
field is like every other town, and that
there, as well as elsewhere, that is
priced the most which is only obtained
with labor and expense. Such has been
the experience everywhere In New Eng
land-whether it has been applied to
schools or churches-and we see no reason
to hope that it will be different in Bakers
field. 1t may be pleasant for time to the
taxpayers but the inevitable result will
be, judging from the experience of other
towns, that the funds will be borrowed
and squandered and so, ultimately, a heav-
ier, instead of lighter, burthen'' will be
placed on the taxpayers, or the people will
gradually lose all interest in the schools
aud they, in the end, be suffered to windle
If not die out.
We suppose, however, that, just at this
time, Bakersfield and Vermont expect only
congratulations; and we will, therefore,
venture to hope that this Brigham legacy
will prove a blessing, not a curse, to the
schools of Bakersfield.

THE BAKERSFIELD LEGACY

The will of Peter Brigham, late of Bos-
ton, leaves fund of thirty thousand dol
lars to the town of Bakersfield, the income
of which is to be applied annually for the
support of schools. At the lowest rate of
interest-six per cent-the income would
be eighteen hundred dollars a year, and
Judging from the reports for the year 1876,
this amount will be more than sufficient
to sustain her schools. 1t appears from
the last report Of the state superintendent
that, in 1876, there were ten schools main
tanned in that town; that there were two
hundred and forty-fve families having
three hundred and ten children of school
age, and that two hundred and sixty diff
ferent children attended school during the
year-of whom ten were either under or
over school age. The whole cost of the
schools appears to have been a few cents
over eleven hundred and eighty-one dol
lars-teachers' wages, including board,
$l,O73.2l; cost of fuel and incidentals.
$500; cost of buildings and repairs,
$1,000. The income, however, seems 10
have been greater than the expenditures,
for we fad that there was received from
rent on town school lands $44.24; from
public money $405.00; and from tax on
grand list of districts 1898 10; amounting
In all to 81, 382.64 or some two hundred
dollars more than the expenses.
What was done with this surplus we are
not informed but it would seem that as
the town superintendent thinks that the
legal school year of twenty weeks is not
long enough, but ought to be extended to
twenty-eight weeks, some part of this sur
plus might have been used to procure such
an extension in that town, at least, without
change in the law. With this legacy,
Bakersfield can have as much school as she
pleases, without any expense to the tax
payers. The income will be, as we have
stated, at low figure, eighteen hundred
dollars and to this is to be added the in
come on twenty-eight hundred and forty
dollars of United States deposit money
say one hundred and seventy dollars-and
forty-four dollars Of rent on town school
lands amounting In oil to over two thou
sand dollars, or nearly double the whole
expenses of the schools for the year 1876.
This would seem to be a promise of
blessed state of affairs for Bakersfield. The
tax payers will not be called upon to help
support the schools, for the income on the
school fund-rent on town school lands,
interest on United States deposit money,
and the income from the Brigham legacy
Will be more than ample for the purpose,
and The town supe. - .endent can have his
fondest dreams more than realized and have
school year of, not only twenty-eiQht
weeks, but of forty weeks, and all without
costing the tax payers a cent.
But after all, we very much doubt
whether this legacy will prove any yery
great b'nefit to the cause of education in
Bakersfield, however much 1t may save the

BENIN GToN, May 20, 1877.
Ex-Gov. J. Gregory Smith and other
railroad officials of the Central Vermont
railroad company have been here to-day to
see about laying side tracks and other mat

the mass of people expected here during
the week of the 10th of August.
The Central Vermont mean to furnish
ample railroad facilities for the immense
number of people expected on that coca

sary.
The executive committee of the centen-
NAL commission hear cheering news from
various parts of the state relating to the
raising of funds to carry on this celebra-
ton. Brattleboro especially is doing nobly,
having decided to raise $500 more than
was first assigned them as their proportion.

A Noble Charity by the Will of Peter
B. Brigham-The Brigham Hos

pltal'
The last will of the late MIR. Brigham,
like his first, of which we made mention
wednesday, shows that the benehcent use to
which he first dedicated his fortune having
passed, his mind was still exercised toward
amelioratlug human conditions. The slaves
are free by law, and the testator deyotes
nearly three-fourths of his whole estate To
a hospital in Boston for the sick poor of
the county OF Suffolk. In order that this
magnificent charity shall be sufficient for
It's blessed purpose, the period of twenty
hve years is fixed as the time when this be-
quest Shall be applied for the uses of the
hospital. Certain annuities-under contin-
gencies OF issue-are to fall to principal
fund, which, with the natural accumula-
ton of well invested property, all 90 10 the
fund for this hospital for the sick poor. 1t
is calculated that the capital of this fund.
when required, will be equal to $3, 600, 900.
To kindred, nephews and nieces the will
provides suitable incomes with an outright
fund to their children; to Mrs. Jacobs, his
sister, $4,000 annual income to a nephew.
Albert j. Brigham, $4,000.
To his very early, constant aud esteemed
friend, Joshua b. Smith, he gives 81, 900 !;
TO employees of his household and elsewhere
$4,000 is distributed. To the town of
Bakersfield, Vt, $40, 900, three-quarsers of
which is for school purposes and one-ausr-
ter to keep in order the burial ground of
the town, where are the graves of his father
and mother and family.
Peter Brigham, beginning humbly, earn
iug his early store by the sweat of his
brow, patiently accumulating with saga
cions thrift, living always not only withou,
osttentation, but with wise economy, lavish
only in gifts where the left hand knew not
what the right hand did-nor, indeed, now
have we the record Of what certainly was
bestowed-he now, by his last will, de-
votes for the most considerably humane of
purposes an ample fortune. How rare in
recollection has anything like such Judi
cious charity been devised by rich deceased
who have, 90 near together-In the United
States been gathered to their fathers
within the memory of the past few wears.
Mr. Bngham's will was drawn by Hon.
John p. Healy, who also drew the first will
which we have named, and under which he
was the executor. The executors of the
last will, and they are principal trustees,
are the son of Mr.. Healy, Joseph Healy
and Robert Goldman, esqulres. -Boston

FROM THE PRESIDENT or THE
NEW YORK STATE NORMAL

SCHOOL.
To use any one or more of Peoples
Remedies is to like them, and to make re-
newed calls for them whenever their need
ID felt There are seven different kinds,
and no one is recommended as "cure all. "
Each has it's place and in that case works
wonders, For instance, the Blood and
Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic will cure
all blood diseases and restore and build up
the nerves; the Capitol Bitters will at
once bring on the appetite and increase the
strength; the Catarrh Remedy readily
heals catarrh; the Improved Cough Honey
breaks up colds and cures coughs the
Golden Relief cures any pain or inflamma-
ton, and the st. Vitus Dance Specific
readily cures st. Vitus Dance. So each
has its place. They are all special reme-
dies except the Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic, which is a remedy for
regulating the general system. They all
act better and quicker when the system is
under the healing and regulating influence
of the Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve
Tonic. For instance, Catarrh is readily
cured by the Catarrh Remedy, when the
system is at the same time placed in a
healing condition by the Blood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, }
March 20, 1S41, I


SIR:-The president is of opinion that IL
is great abuse to bring the patronage of
the general government into conflict with
the freedom of elections; and that this
abuse ought to be corrected wherever IT
may have been permitted to exist, and to
be prevented in future.
He therefore directs that information be
given that partisan interference in popular
elections, whether of state officers or off.
GERS OF this government, and for whomso-
ever or against whomsoever 1t NAV be ex-
ercised, or the payment of any contribution
or assessment on salaries or official COM
pensation for party or election purposes,
will be regarded by him as cause of re-
moval.
1t is not intended that any officer shall
be restrained in the free and proper ex-
preston and maintenance of his opinions
respecting public men or public measures,
or in the exercise, to the fullest degree, of
the constitutional right of suffrage. But
persons employed under the government
and paid for their services out of the public
treasury are not expected to take an active
or ofliclous part in attempts to influence
tic minds or uthere, sucn conduct being
deemed inconsistent with the spirit of the
constitution and the duties of public
agents acting under it, and the president
is resolved, so far as depends upon himself,
that, while the exercise of the elective
franchise by the people shall be free from
undue influence of official station and Gu.
thority, opinion shall also be free among
the officers and agents of the government.
The president wishes it further to be an
nounced and distinctly understood tina.
from all collecting and discussing officers
promptitude in rendering accounts and en-
tire punctuslity in paying balances will be
vigorously exacted. In his opinion 1t is
time to return in this respect to the early
practice OF the government, and to hold any
degree OF delinquency on the part of those
intIusted with the public money Just cause
OF immediate removal. He deems the Sc
we're observance of this circular to be essen.
tial to the public service, as every dollar
lost to the treasury by unfaithfulness in of.
nee creates necessity for new charge
upon the people.
l have the honor to be, etc,

Hiram Eastman departed this life on the
evening of the 9th. he had been sick for
some time, but not confined to his room,
or the house. On the evening he died some
neighbors were in, and after conversipg
awhile he said he believed he would lie
down, walked to the bed without any as
sistance, and after lying down, said, IL
think am going to rest" Those were his
last words, and in another moment his
spirit had taken its fight. He passed 80
quietly and bravcly from this life to the
next that it hardly seems like death. His
friends assembled at his house on Tuesday,
to bear his body to its resting place Rev.
Z. S. Pratt was assisted in conducting the
services by Rev Mr.. Eastman of Manches-
ter.
MIR. Pratt on that day helped bear away
the dead from three dwellings, the first
time in his long ministry among us that
such an event has occurred.
The funeral of Mrs. Orvile Sykes was
held at the house at ten o'clock in the
morning.
Mrs. S. has been an invalid for more
than score of years, and confined to her
bed unable to move except to turn her head
for many years. What Joyful release
death must have given her, taking away
the old worn body which had so long held
her in bondage. giving her patient spirit
its freedom at last.
At three in the afternoon the third fu-
neral was attended at the residence of Mrs.
Geo. jerks, that of an infant daughter of
Wallace and George Tousley, Blanche,
aged six months.
In one day the old, the middle aged and
the child. When child alone is taken we
are not apt to think the next call may be
for US, but we draw our little ones closer
to us, praying that they may DO spared.
When the old die we may think the warn
ing is for age alone. But in this instance
it seems as if death spoke emphatically to
all, the old, the young and those In the
prime of life. Be We ready.
