A MUNIFICENT GIFT.-Mr. Enoch Pratt
proposes to establish in Baltimore city free
circulating library, and to this end is erect
ing, on Mulberry street. near Cathedral q
building capable of containing 200, 900 books.
1t will cost, when ready for occupancy,
$225,000, and when completed will be deed
ed to the city. In addition he proposes to
donate $685., 1888 33aa, the interest of which, at
per cent, will provide $4,000 year, for
keeping up the institution. This large sum
the city is expected to take. Mr.. Pratt offers
Il valuable suggestion that if added to the
sinking fund and the interest carefully fund
ed it would soon pay off the debt of the city.
The proposed library will furnish means of
instruction and pleasure to thousands in the
city to whom the Peabody and other libra
ries are inaccessible, and the name of the
generous donor will live long after him.

LARGE TURKEYs.-Mr. o. c. Quincy, of Slate
Hill, has bought and taken to Philadelphia, this
winter, upwards of 800 dressed turkeys. Con-
siderable rivalry existed, in the neighborhood of
Slate Hill and Line Bridge, in the raising of
large turkeys, but Miss Beckie Whiteford is en-
titled to the "cake." She raised flock of
twenty, the combined weight of which was 800
lbs, or an average of 16 lbs. each Messrs. II.
Clay, James r. and Samuel Whiteford also
raised some fine specimens, but they were not
equal to Miss Whiteford's. Next season, it is
said, the competition will be greater than it
was this year, and we expect that some splendid
birds will be raised.

Mr.. Seager was informed that the furnace had
not been in operation for six years or more
After investigation he believed the principal
benefit to be derived from an improvement in
this stream would be to the farmers, many of
whom have in recent years turned their atien-
tion largely to the canning of fruits and vegeta.

shipped from that section of the State. To ac-
commodate this trade cut as high as Public
