SANDY SPRING. Bird Month. 1877

SANDY SPRING, Bird Month, 1873.
II. i. MooRE, Respected Friend:
Before saying anything about the
Haymaker, | will refer briefly to my ex-
perience with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Threshers
and Horse Powers, two combined Reap-
ers and Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece Of
machinery have had on my farm. On
its introduction here | was induced TO
try one, Notwithstanding my repugnance
to its mysterious o.ion, aud the result
was my utter surprise at the ease with
which heavy and even weedy grass falls
before so tiny machine, aud as Lawn
Mower, | have not seen its equal cut
ting as it docs close under trees and
up to shrubs and plants. The expenses
so far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, half-a-dozen sections, which are
still on'hand. Ny man says he has one
fault with the Haymaker, il does not
make noise enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence he has to
walk behind his team.
Thine. &c,
WIN mo TuOMAQ

at Middlebury. The day before Thanks

wife, being still threatened with the fever
which the last of that week Frustrated
him.
lie was at one time thought to have
passed the dangerous point of his sickness
but the hope proved not well founded and
he grew steadily worse for two weeks be-
fore his death.
Mr. Chapman was born in Lincoln, YER
mant. March 8, 1919. He studied law with
Gen, Grandey in Vergennes and formed II
partnership with him. In 1870 he was

he was elected States Attorney of Addison

youngest daughter of Erastus Camp, of
this village. His parents live in Missouri,

1t is recorded, in proof of the primitive
simplicity of Illinois towns, that the store
of one Napoleon Putnam of Metamora
was entered by burglars, and the safe
blown open with II charge of gunpowder,
nitro glycerine, dynamite or other destruc
tive material, and fifty dollars in money
distracted therelrom. The town was Wis.
IDLY shaken by the explosion, but still it
slept the sound sleep of simplicity. A
party of gay young bucks, regular dare
devils, were playing billiards in the vii.
lage saloon, and it is said of them that
they just wished those thoughtless people
who awoke the echoes and the SAUNDERS oil
Metamora would wait till the game was
ended, and they would teach them better
manners, Thereupon they hurried the
game to a close, and went in search of the
burglars, but, true 10 their contemplate
nature, the burglars had gone away.
