Portable Cast Iron Sugar Arch.

The attention of the farmers of Caledonia County
is respectfully called to the Portable Cast Iron
Sugar Arch patented by o. B. Higgins, of Stew
artstOwn, N. H., which is destined to rank with
the mower and other labor saving farm implements.
Having been thoroughly tested by intelligent farm
ers in Orleans County the past season and received
the unqualified appreciation of the many sugar
makers and dairymen of this county who examined
it at the recent session of the County Court at St.
Johnsbury we take pleasure in introducing it to
the farmers of the county the cheapest and most
perfect apparatus for sugar making and dairy Pur-
poses ever invented Having purchased the right
for Caledonia County we have appointed Jonathan
Lawrence of Passumpsic our agent for the towns
of Barnet, Danville, Groton, Hardwick, Peacham
Ryegate, St. Johnsbury, Waterford and Walden
who is authorized to sell single Arches or town
rights to whom all orders and enquiries from the
above towns should be directed Orders and in
formation from the other towns in the county
should be directed to the undersigned. To satisfy
the farmers of the county that the Arches what
we claim for them shall set up one upon the
Fair Ground at St. Johnsbury at the coming Fair,
where all can witness its practical working Farm
ers who intend to repair rebuild their sugar
works will do well to examine the Arch before
commencing their work. Circulars mailed free on
application.

keeping out Of the state to avoid pros

telling such widely different stories
that Horatio's counsel tried to impeach
the Huntoons, for that purpose be-

who swore that their reputation for
