nected with that establishment, and his fine
opportunities to study the make up of a
newspaper, from the time the local starts out
on his journey to gather the news, and OBJ
| serving the varied processes it goes through
until it reaches the readers hands, must have
been great benefit to him in working up his
subject. The lecture will be given under
the management of the Williams Lecture
Bureau of Boston.

An example for young men: The execu-
tors OF the eStAte VI tHe iatc wi.
Hill, of Exeter, filed the first inventory in
the probate Office in this city, last week.
The executors were Hon. +. w. Hill and
Geo. S. Hill, Esq, and the inventory
amounted to something over 100000. In
this connection we would call attention to
some prominent points in the life of the late
Col Hill, which are worthy of attention from
the youth of the land. The large fortune
he leaves was made entirely from farming
and depositing in the banks the money re-
ceived from the products of the farm. He
was never a speculator in real estate, stocks,
or ANYTHING else, but invariably placed his
money in banks and there it gradually mul-
tiplied. This is a striking instance, showing
l that here in Maine young man may engage
in farming, and BY good management and
the exercise of practical economy can acquire
not only competency but great wealth a
singular feature of the possession of Col. Hill
is that for sixty years prior to his decease he
kept in a small trunk in his house some three
nundred silver dollars. He was undoubtedly
believer in the dollar of his daddes-Bdn-
