| Our Of respect for the Free Press, we will be-
leve the following yarn clipped from Its columns,
but we will not believe another Of the same size
for love or money: we frequently read in novels
and histories Of the hero's drawing himself up to
his full height The man who takes the cake
on that sort OF thing is drawng-room car con-
ductor on the Central Vermont As he ordinarily
stands he measures about FIVE feet ten inches, but
he possesses the extraordinary power Of lengthen-
ing himself out until he attains standing squarey
on his feet the height OF six feet seven inches"
WE regret to learn that Hon S. N. Stockwe,
editor Of the Boston Journal IL In poor health and
has felt compelled by the advice Of his physicians
to resign his editorial position. Mr. Stockwe,
though not an old man, is old in his connection
with the Journal In 1916 he first entered the
office as a compositor, but remained at the case"
only q short time before he was entrusted to duty
tnonnected with the reportorial department. In
this sphere he was rapidly advanced from one re-
sponsbity to another until 1865 when he became
edtor-in-chief How ably and iudicously he has
filled so important position all readers Of the
Journal for fifteen years past understand.
As there have been so many inferior brands OF
| fertilizers placed on the market In times past 1t
gives us pleasure to call attention to the neat ad
vertisement of the Quinnpac Fertilizer Company
| which appears In our columns this week. The
| guaranteed analysis shows its right to be called
thigh grade" As our soil is generally heavy and
cold, the high percentage of ammonia, phospboric
acid and potash renders this phosphate well
adapted to 1t, and its practical use has proven It's
superiority, as shown in the testimonials OF large
numbers Of our citizens, given in their pamphlet
for 1881. This pamphlet can be had on appca-
ton to any Of the Quinnipiac agents, or by send
ing postal to the company at New London, Conn.
NOVEMBER Goth, 1876, DR.. Charles X, Pe took
out Life rate endowment policy for 81, 600,
In the National Life Insurance Company of Mont
pelier, Vermont, for the benefit OF his wife, pay
ing therefor semi-annual premium OF S12. go and
subsequently, September 10TH 1876, he took out
another policy OF the same kind and amount, at a
sem-annual premium Of s127o, he being then one
|
premiums amounting to SS6 10, the last premium
paid being in November, 1878, and paid nothing
thereafter On the second policy he paid four
premiums in cash amounting to 5000, gave
notes for the next two payments and then stopped
paying in March, 1879. By the terms Of these
Life Rate Endowment policies policy holder
after paying two annual premiums, II he then
stops paying, has the choice Of three courses. He
may take paid up insurance for an equitable
amount, or he may have the value Of the same In
cash, or he may have the policies continued In
force for their full amount as long as the money
paid will carry them. DIR. Pell chose the latter
course, and his first policy would have for its
full amount to October, 1882, and the second un
til August, 1881. By his decease on the 4th inst
his wife will receive something over $500, the
full amount of the policies less the unpaid pre-
miums. We cannot refrain from calling the at
tention of readers to the fair dealing OF thi,
home company, and expressing our surprise tina
Vermonters should seek insurance elsewhere wher
they can do better at home.
