A Valuable COLLECTION Of Books.

The library of the late r. O. J. Smith, now
on exhibition at one Of the stores in Free street
block, is probably the most valuable private
collection owned in this state. 1t numbers up
wards of 5000 volumes and is made up of all
classes Of literature. There are to be found
whole files of the Argus since 1922, and of the
Advertiser since 1881, when it was started.
There are also large number of bound vol
umes of the National Intelligencer. There are
many old English works now out of print,
whichiare very valuable and will bring enor-
nous prices. There is to be found Burkes
Encyclopedia of Heraldry and General Ar
mory of England, Scotland and Ireland-a
very valuable book of reference. Also large
History of England In four volumes, printed
in 1000; the works of Samuel Clark, prir ted in
1913; p volumes of the works of Voltaire A
History of the World, by Sir Walter Raleigh,
printed in 1877, attracts much attention. Pin
tarch's Lives in five volumes, printed in 1893
are also to be found. The works of Lord Ba-
con, Cooper, Chesterfield, Pope and other au-
thors are bound in very expensive manner,
and many of them are in good condition. The
books named above are only few of the
prominent ones which strike the eye of a visi.
tor. In addition there is very large law libra
ry, and hundreds of Legislative Proceedings
which are valuable to complete sets.
John Rand, Esq, who has the disposal of
the library for Mrs. Smith, is of the opinion
that he shall be obliged to take it to Boston to
lind market for it. He expects TO realize
$4,000 from the sale, although the appraisers
valued it at but $1400. An auctioneer from
Boston looked over the books yesterday and he
was surprised that there was such collection
to be found in the stats Many of the books
of reference to be found here are wanting in
our Public Library, and a director of the Lii
brary yesterday expressed his regret that the
books should be allowed to leave the state for
purchasers If the Library could purchase
this collection they could probably sell enough
of the books not wanted to pay half the cost of
the whole. If the chance is to be improved
some action must be taken at ouce.

Ahht e yABONcs
AS the distant members of the V. G, A. look
with especial interest for the dongs of the club
on Its anniversary, and as your reporter over
looked two or three things connected with the
agreeable surprise given us on our return from
camp by our friend Hunt, he wishes here to
make note of them. Whether it was coming
from the foggy out O. door atmosphere, he was
bedazzled with the brilliancy of the banquet
room; whether it was that his attention became
absorbed with the ladies there assembled; or
whether he was fascinated with the fair dam
sells who dispensed the Inequalities of our host
and hostess, be certainly omitted few points
worthy of mention. This omission was proba-
bly, due to the last two causes mentioned, for
be frankly admits that portion of the epitaph
on one of the members, which was read THE
day previous with slight change, will apply
TO him:
"For he is intensely human
And weakness has for woman
lis weakness, let me say, sir
Common to the V. c. A., sir.
Ifa sin it is most venial,
And prevails with natures genial
Genial is our worthy brother,
And he does not seek to smother
His deep love and veneration
For the fairest of CREATION"
Let me now supply those omissions. On en-
terlng the banquet room our attention was at
tracted by an inscription on the walls, tasteful
ly surrounded.by an American flag:
"V. G. A. and P. Co
Under this was representation of the monster
Gunner caught by Knight of the Boston Branch,
and beneath that the dates 1S45-1S77. A SIM
ultaneous clapping of hands followed as the at.
tention of the members was called to this hap.
PLY conceived device.
At the close Of the entertainment, when it
was proposed to sing "Home, Sweet Home,' the
ladies urgently pleaded delay Of our depar-
ture, at least that "Auld Lang Syne'' should
be sung before the final song. This was done,
the entire company joining hands and voices,
and never was that old air given with rhore fer
vor. Sweet Home, followed, all uniting, after
which we took our leave, a brilliant display of
fireworks Illuminating our way. while Home
ward Bound was sung by the boys as we drove
off.
Another agreeable surprise awaited us. which
was the sight of Mr.. Thomas Shaw's residence
in a blaze of light in honor of the occasion.
Cheers were exchanged and the carriage passed
on, with the refrain, "For he's jolly good fell
low" on their lips So, joyously we journeyed
homeward. Pic.

Talent will Tell.

One of the remarkable things about
New York is the marvellous number of
third-rate men we have in business.
We have hundreds of lawyers, yet, if
a frst-class case comes up, you can
count one of ten men who will con-
duct the case. You can find hun
dred men that can engrave a portrait
for a dime novel or a police gazette,
not two in 200 could cut fine
line engraving, A thousand men
could build a roRd.bed, but not one
in Thousand could engineer the track.
On the street dozen men rule the
Bull side and the Bear side. The rest
are mere subordinates. The profess
sions, callings and trades are crowded
with small men, yet talent is at a pre-
MUM and capable men are in de-
mand. A well-known fnancier bas

woman who had become the. successor
in her husbands affections and her
own rights. He also new that an i'm
portant paper no less than the certif-
icate Of her marriage-had been lost
at the time of her murder.
Once more a great crowd had been
gathered at the cottage. Once moro

were witnesses. It was for them, who
alone had seen him, to identify the
prisoner who had just been brought in,
and this they did at once, unmindful
of the terrible frown with which he
regarded them.
He was committed to the county
Jail for forcible entry and robbery of
the house, and while he lay there the
lawyers were slowly weaving around
him q web which was to enmesh him.
Having the clue, various circumstan-
ces came to light, all tending TO show
that SwCney was the murderer. He
was shown to have been in the county
at the time and to have arrived at the
nearest point by rail, which was near
the residence of Mrs. Sweeney, ON tho
very day of the murder.
His object had been, doubtless, TO
intimidate Mrs. Sweeney, compel her
to yield up the documents which
proved her rights and his legitimacy.
Having failed in this, he had deliber-
ately committed the murder, taken
from her the certificate, and departed
unseen.
The lock of hnir clutched in the EN-
gers of the dead was also n powerful
witness against him. Strange enough,
it corresponded exactly in cclor, quail
ity and strength with his own, and
Just above the temple was a bald spot
about the size of the lock, which seem
ed to be pulled thence.
1t was probably thought that time
enough had elapsed to render his pres
ent visit safe, more especially as no
suspicion had ever fastened to him I;
and this time he came with the hope
of securing an important deed which
Mrs. Sweeney had once in her posses
sion, and which, in the fathers nsces-
sary communication with Mrs. Swe-
uey's lawyer, he had learned had not
been transferred to him. This was
found among the effects of Macbeth
Sweeney, and be had doubtless discov-
cred it in some secret drawer that had
escaped the lawyers vigilance.
Cilcumstantial evidence alone con-
victed him, but the universal commont
upon the verdict of the jury declared
its justice. He expiated his crime up
on the gallows, and Aunt .Jerusha
Sears became the heroine of Benning-
ton she looked upon herself and was
believed by others, to be the principal
instrument in bringing to light the
perpetrator of mysterious crime,and
Furnishing all who had been engaged
in the prosecutions heaped upon a
most unfortunate and unhappy lady.

Two Smart Girls.

Two daughters of farmer in St.
Lawrence county, desired to pay debt
on their homestead, but preferred not
to do it by hard work. They hit up
on an idea that. suited their purpose,
and have made enough money to re-
move the debt. They had large
quantity of porous stone sawed into
small pieces and thoroughly soaked in
an odorous preparation, which im2art-
ed to them a durable scent. These
pieces they have peddled throughout
the State, at twenty-five cents each,
representing that they were cut from
the rock of wonderful perfumed cave
in South America. The girls are SO
demure and pretty, with such an 99p-
perance of innocence, that the sales
are very large. They have just put
fresh lot Of stone in soak, preparatory
