WRLLEsLEr, Mass, July Ill came down
from Boston to-day to hnvo 4 talk With Mr.
Baker concerning the Health Association, which
was to haEo met hcre in tho carly part OF tho
month, but whose meeting has been postponed
Until August or soptombeE. Afost people have
beard something about Mr.. William E. Baker,
Of the firm OF Grover & Baker, sewing machine
manufacturers. He calls bis wonderful placa
hcro farm, but It is not especially farm-it
IL an ecccntrcity. More than any other mun-
dane thing think d park would resemble tt;
but theirs ID no pnrk In the world which con-
talns anything approaching even to the matters
which Nit. Bakers park contains. Itls place
Of great natural beauty, and Its oddncss comes
OF its extraordinary artificial decorations, and Is
reflex Of the eccensrtclty Of it, owner. Mr..
Baker is a man Of great wealth, and he has a
good deal OF time OH Ills hunde. In order to fill
this timc aud spend this money ho engages In
ali sorts Of schemes for Tho Improvement Of
men aud thtngs. Some OF bis operations arc
strange euough-as, fur instance, the laying With
great formaltty a,id circumstance Of tho corner
stone Of magnificent pigaty-and have earned
for him the reputation OF being a attle cracked.
But he has very abrewd. head, and explains
