FAIRFIELD, Marcn 70, 1873.
Mr.. EDIToR-The Kennebec House Framing
Co. has lately purchased new Corlss engine
of 1Oo.horse power, thus enabling them to run
all their large amount of heavy machinery.
This company has done large amount of
work since they commenced operations, and
we are glad to learn that the prospect for the
coming seasons work Is better than at this
time last year.
Charles Smith, owner of the Williams House,
Wateryille, has lately purchased the Birch
house, near the railroad station, known as the
"Newhall House, and after thoroughly re-
modelling the same will open it as hotel.

wonderful cow She is six years old, one half
Jersey. Her calf was taken from her March
49, 1877, and in seven days she gave 105 quarts
of milk. From April LIST to April 9Th she gave
15a quarts per day. June 10th, with only
good pasture for food she gave sol pounds,
which measured q quarts. Sept. LIST 10 quarts;
Nov. LIST ID quarts. Jan. 31st she gave 5
quarts, but as she would drop another calf
about the middle of February, she was not
MIXED after that date. The total record from
March %, 1877, to January 81, 1873, is as fol-
lows: 300 pounds butter made, 1850 quarts of
milk sold and the family of sic persons sup
piled with what milk was wanted for all pur-
poses. The feed during March, April and May
was one peck shorts daily; June. nothing but
grass in pasture; through the summer and fall
shorts were given, since which time she has
been fed one peck shorts, three quarts potatoes
and good hay daily. We think this record
can't be beat. SETH

Law Court Decision.

/ Yesterday the decision of the Law Court in the
case OF Frederick Fox, administrator In equity VS..
VIM. Rumery ct ais was received by the Clerk Of
Courts. This is a case In which Mr.. Fox as admin
istrator of the estate of Samuel Rumery, was unde-
cided as to the meaning of certain portions of the
will. The administrator also asked the Court to in
struct him whether he should pay the balance he has
to the heirs to the trustee. The following is the
rescript:
The true construction of the third item of Samuel
Rumerys will is that it gives to his wife only life es-
tate In the moiety devised to her, with special
power OF alienation for the purpose of reinvesment
only and the devise to the trustee for the adopt
ed son is valid and effective both as to real and per-
Such special express power of alienation for par
icuar purpose does not enlarge her interest to fee
devise over of the remainder. That devise over is
not abrogated by the wies election to take her dow
er and allowance instead of the provision made for
her in the will, nor can any part of the surplus Of
that moiety after setting out the dover and paying
the widows n allowance he regarded as property
to the statutes regulating the descent and disribu-
ton of intestate estates.
The effect OF the widows remuneration of the pro-
cisions OF the will 80 far this surplus is concerned
s simply the extinction of the widows life estate
therein and the acceleration Of the right of the
0nd taker.
The general intent of the testator gathered by
siderng all the various clauses in connection with
each other. giving them due effect, far possible,
consistently with the rules oflaw, to ALL gov
ern in the construction of Wills and where such in
tent clearly appears it should be carried into effect
even if it requires departure from literal COM
plance with particular clause.
The widows election of dover and allowance in
lieu of the provision made for her in the will pro-
duces the effect, tar the surplus before
ferred to is concerned, as her death would have
done upon the entire moiety bequeathed to her in
case she had accepted the provisions OF the will.
Edward A. Noyes, as trustee under the will, is
presently entitled to the entire realty subject to the
dover set out to the widow; and he is also entitled
upon the final settlement of the administrators ac-
count, to the balance Of personal property which may
payment of the balance OF the widows allowance and
all legal debts and expenses of administration to be
disposed OF by said trustee upon and according to the
trusts declared in the will. The heirs at law are en-
titled to no part thereof.
This answer necessarily disposes of all the ques-
tons propounded in the bill. Decree accordingly.
Costs and reasonable expense of the parties for
sci ices aad otheawise in this proceeding to be paid
ont of the estate and charged by the administrator in

PURE BONE GOODS.

WE desire to call the particular attention OF farm
w ers to our Bone Goods all of which are
strictly pure, and for which, after thorough ex-
animation by the committee at the New England
and Maine State Fair, held at Portland, Sep
TENDER Sd to 7th 1877 we were awarded the highest
premium over all old competitors for that class of
goods.
1st-Om ground bone, for fertilizer, bein e
pure, contains large percentage of phOsphOric
acid, nitrogen, amOnia and magnesia
which makes it the SAFEST fertilizer for all kinds of
crops. 1t is also very nice when composted with wood
ashes in equal parts.
2nd-Our bone meal has no equal In America.
1t is ground from pure hard bones, and is very
white and sweet. it has offensive 0dor or taste.
In fact it is as sweet as corn meal and cattle eat
it freely and with good results.
We likewise make an extra article iof poultry
bone Of uniform size, no long slivers to choke the
hens. 1t helps to form 1.-THE shell of the eggs, and
is what the poultry need at all times. A supply of
it should be kept in box constantly before them.
We would further say that it is object to
good reputation for our bone goods and we be-
lieVe the only way is to make them strictly pure,
ana those who favor with their patronage may
rely upon it, that all the goods purchased of us will
be strictly pure.
We also have constantly hand, ground beef
scraps which poultry should always have in a box
the same as poultry bone. 1t is also excellent to
feed to swine.

A capital of $2,750,000, besides the leather
and hides, is invested in Eastern Maine tan
neries, which employ 800 men, use 10000 cords
Of bark, and manufacture 5000 tons Of leather
annually. A large number of men are also
employed in procuring the bark and in freight
ing the hides and leather from and to Boston.
More than half of this business is done by f.
Shaw & Brothers of Boston, who also made
900 tons of hemlock extract and 10000, 900
shingles last year. The tannery business has
increased since 1870, and will continue to grow
as long as the bark which is being used faster
than the natural growth replaces it holds out.
