favored our farmers last Saturday with brief
series Of discourses in their special voc ,tions.
They evidently awakened quite favorable in
terest in those present. These men are engaged
in great and patriotic work First, to illustrate
and stimulate our agrculturists and to advance
practical and scientific farming. To attain these
results men must read and study and think they
must put into their business brain as well as
manual work. Their calling demands scientific
knowledge, and much experience and observation
to bring it up to perfection, or even to recog-
nized honorable distinction in the numberless
vocations Of mankind. Not only the material
interests OF the state but the spirit of our free
institutions point to division and subdivision in
the possession OF lands among many proprietors
instead of aggregating farms, as what is desirable
and promotive of public peace and prosperity
One of the superintendent objects is to encour
age our young men to aspire to higher knowledge
and better taste for the farmers business, and tc
study it as a financial question both for the in
dividual and the public. Professor At water, a,
a chemist, explained the utility of that science
to the intelligent farmer. He told us much thai
it could do, and some things it could not do, Ii

NoRTHFIELD.-The agricultural meeting, held
here last Friday, was not rs well attended as 1t
ought to have been This is said In view OF the
fact that the legislature appropriated nearly OF
quite twenty-five hundred dollars for such pur-
poses as this meeting was designed to further.
The state superintendent of agriculture, John B.
Mead, was accompanied by Professor Atwater OF
Connecticut, and o. NJ. Tinkham, agricultural
editor Of the Freeman. d T. Averill was chosen
to preside Mr.. Averill read a paper on Ma.
nures," and Vermont as a home" Charles
Dole read paper on The future OF Vermont in
agriculture" Lively discussions were held on
various matters. Professor Atwater spoke mainly
on chemistry, as applied to the feeding OF plants,
Music was very pleasantly interspersed with the
other exercises. On the whole, the meeting was
very interesting one, and deserved better at.

Mrs. EMILY J. CRANE-Mrs. Emily j., wife Of
Deacon J. Erwin Crane Of Bridport and daughter
Of Stephen ?. Josln OF Watsfeld, died In the
former place December 18th. Mrs. Crane had re-
sided in Bridport nearly ten years. During these
years her sprghtly and affectionate disposition,
especially her earnestness as Christian, won for
her the deep interest Of many hearts. Those who
came into nearest relations with her and knew
her best priced her most highly Her Christian
experience was Of no common type. She longed
for that which was highest and best In her attain
ments and in her sense of the divine grace. Her
last illness, with which she struggled heroically
for years, developed unusual funess and rich
ness Of Christian character She was bound by
ties Of peculiar strength 10 the home circle Of her
brothers and sisters. To her husband, in all his
places Of usefulness she was a noble support and
true helper. Her interest in the progress Of
Chrsts kingdom around her was intense, though
unobtrusive. Few knew the extent to which her
activity manifested itself in doing good. The loss
Of such Christian in the community where she
lived seems utterly irreparble. We submit, as
we are taught to do in all the dark and trying dis
pensations of Providence, remembering that our
loss is her infinite gain. Only yesterday she was
here with her keen eye, clear bright thoughts
and constant prayers. Now she is not. The new
Jerusalem, with its gates of pearl and streets Of
gold, upon which in her last days her thoughts

OF c. and c. L. Densmore, died in East Mont

five years and nine months. Eight years ago Mr.
Densmore buried lovely daughter, leaving Luc.
the only child, who was much loved by he
parents. They did all in their power to heal her
but faiie,- in every attempt, and the hour cam
when God recalled his own. Lrcy had man
friends, who loved her and mourn her loss; but
best OF all, she had friend in Jesus, that frien
who "stcketh closer than brother" 1t was til
privilege of the writer to be with her the last hou
of her life. She was conscious to the very last
and when asked, Have you good hope in Jesu
Christi she replied, "Yes, sir; precious hope.
May this triumphant death, and a prospect of
glorious immortality beyond this vale Of tear
where we shall meet the loved ones to part n
more, comfort and sustain the afflicted parents.
