Among Thrifty Farmers.

Under this head we find the following in
the department of the young Farmers
Club of the Southern States" in the Janua-
ry number of the Southern Cultiyator, pub
lished in Atlanta, Ca, and which is the lead
ing agricultural monthly of the South:
During the past summer. the secretary Of the
club paid visit to Governor and Mrs Frederick
Robie of Maine, honorary members Of our organ
ization, and spent two weeks very pleasantly at
their charming home in GOrham. The Governor
happily combines farm and town life, his spacious
residence and extensive grounds being on the
main street. while his farm of several hundred
acres, just across the railroad track, is within the
town limits. His success and experience as
agriculturist has been such as to place him the
head of the State Grange, which he has made a
powerful organization, both in numbers and infiu-
ence. Although governor of the State, and with
many private enterprises to look after he gives
close attention TO his farm which is ore OF the
most valuable and best cultivated in that section,
and at the same time is in constant demand at ag-
ricultural meetings as prominent speaker.
Mrs. RObie has not allowed foreigntraYel sOcie-
ty obligations, or the so-called ahigher accom-
plishments" to interfere with her domestic tastes
and duties Like her worthy husband, she has
given her best efforts to the elevation and success
of the Grange, of which he is an honored officer,

To the Editor of the Press:
We notice an article in your issue of the
2Sth inst, headed ga Barkentine Skips Out"
dated at Bath, Dec. 26, 1885, alleging that the
barkentine John Bailey left that port in the
night time, leaving several bills unpaid, and
that many of the creditors were day labor
ers. In behalf of the owners, l wish to
state through the columns of your paper that
the master of the barkentine John Bailey,
of Philadelphia, entered into contract with
I. Nj. Hagan & Co., of Bath Oct. 18th, 1885,
to build poop deck and make certain other
repairs, as per specifications, for the sum Of
$500. 1t was understood by the captain
that the work was to be completed within
tions, Messrs Hagan & Co. were over eight
weeks, resulting in great damage. Notwith-
standing the captain had advanced t. NJ.
Hagan 4 Co. $1783 in cash, and paid several
bills that should have been settled by said
Hagan. In attempting to get at final set
tlement, Mr.. Hagan claimed $3.50 over and
work, etc. The captain did not agree with
them as to the extra, and refused to pay it as
they were to furnish all material and labor
to complete the work. All bills legally be-
longing to the vessel will be paid without
question, but no bills contracted by Messrs.
7. NJ Hagan & Co., will be allowed.

quent intervals of time, by parties competent
and paid for such service, and whose duty
and interest is wholly independent
Directors and auditing committees not paid
for such service will only very imperfectly
and casually examine books and accounts
committed to their care, and too often pass
upon the correctness of the same by con-
densed statement of secretary, treasurer, or
person in charge of such books, and then
certify all correct
Now let our trust funds at least be made
as secure as possible by appointing men who
can be relied upon to attend to these duties
and paid a reasonable compensation for their
services.
Any honest accountant secretary, treas
urer or other officer will court such an in
veStigation, and will himself feel relief
that his work is examined by some one CON-
petent for the duty. If in the case before
us proper auditing had taken place, this
large deficit would have easily been dis
covered and nipped in the bud, and perhaps
young man saved from ruin, and a chari-
table society saved heavy loss. After the
horse is stolen the stable doors are securely
locked for awhile at least. Would it not be
wisdom to take measures to secure safety
before loss actually occurs? z.

Eight Men of the Gloucester Fleet
Lost in the Late Gale.

GLOUCESTER, Dec. GA despatch re-
ceiyed from Philadelphia late last night says
the schooner Cleopatra of this port, home
bound, in the recent storm lost all her sails,
booms, gaffs and dories. Three men were
drowned, and one killed and five injured
Those drowned are one Hanson, Alsen Math-
erson and William T. Hodge, and the man
killed is Oliver Nelson. The Cleopatra
sailed from Boston on Wednesday for
Georges, and encountered the recent gale
with the above results. The schooner was
built last June, was 9963 tons burden, new
measurement, and was the property of D. G.

at $1,000, and was insured in the Gloucester
Mutual for $3.50 on the vessel and $500 on

RAILWAY MATTERS.

NOTES.
There will be a meeting of the directors OF the
International Railway in Bangor today, at which
time the matter of putting the road under CON
tract to the Maine Central and New Brunswick
railways will be fully considered.
A company is now being organized, backed by
the Grand Trunk, to build road along the north
shore of the st. Lawrence river to the Straits of
Belle Isle, ferrying across these and thence run
directly to Cape Race, n. F., where connection Is
to be made with line of fast steamers to Brest,
France. 1t is calculated that the actual time on
the ocean can be easily reduced to three or four
days, and the dangerous coast between New
York and Cape Race entirely avoided.
The injunction prayed for by certain income
bondholders of the 0gdensburg and Lake Cham
plain Road to prevent the company from paying
interest guaranteed upon the S35O,oo0 Lamoille

The interest and sinking fund charge amounts to
amount of relief to the Ogdensburg Company and
holders. OF the S35O0oO LamOille 6s the New
York Central road holds 100000. The road Ill
question is not in use but since it forms the nat
ural northern New England outlet to the Rome,

to the New York Central it has been suggested
that the decision may lead the New York Central
to seek an interest in the Ogdensburg and Lake

Death of Prof. E. q. sanborn.

HANOVER, N. I'LL, Dec. 29.-Edwin David
Sanborn, LII Professor Emeritus of An
glo-Saxon and English at Dartmouth died
in New York city today. He was born in
Gilmanton in 1903, graduated from Dart
mouth class of 1882, and was then preceptor
of Gilmanton Academy one year, he read
law with Stephen C. Lyford at Meredith
studied divinity at Andover Theological
Seminary for one year with the class of 1887,
and acted as assistant at Phillips Academy
during that time. In 1885 he came to Dart
mouth as tutor, but was made Professor of
Latin and Greek the same year. He was
Professor Of Latin alone from 1887 to 1859,
when he resigned to accept the presidency of
Washington University, at st. Louis, Mo-
In 1868, he returned to Dartmouth, taking
the Chair of Oratory and Bellies Lettres. In
1880 he became Professor of Anglo-Saxon
and English. Though he was never settled
as a pastor, he preached a good deal and ac-
ceptably. Failing health compelled him to
resign in 1882, and he spent the winter Of
1S83-S4 in Florida and last year was in
Washington during the. cold weather
DR.. Sanbon was first married to Mary Ann
Webster, daughter of Ezekiel, and a niece of
Daniel Webster. He had in his possession
many interesting autograph letters from his
distinguished relative, the great eXpound-
er." About 1867 he was married to Mrs. Sa-
rah f. Clark, who is now on brief visit to
her son in San Francisco. He was always
very popular with the students, and was
held in the highest esteem by every man who
ever sat under him. In all the departments
he successfully occupied, he was regarded
as among the most learned, able and effect
i've teachers ever connected with an institu-
tion. His history of New Hampshire, from
its first discovery to 1880, was published in
1875. He has also written great deal for
newspapers and magazines, and his collected
addresses fill volume. 1t is a singular fact
that his death occurred within few days of
that of Prof. Daniel j. Noyes. They were
classmates, and each had been instructors at
Dartmouth nearly half a century. The fu-
neral takes place here Thursday afternoon.

THE IRON TRADE.
Review of the Past Year.-A More
Hopeful Feeling.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 29.-The review
of the iron trade of 1885, has been prepared
by James NJ. Sevonk, general manager of the
American Iron and Steel Association. The
beginning of the year was Marked he says,
by continuation of the depression of 1884,
and there was sagging in prices till July,
except for steel rails, the quotations for
which improved a trife in May In July
and August all prices stiffened and in Sep
tember slight advance was established,
steel rails taking the lead and continued to
advance till December. If there were no
threat today of a tariff revision, he says, the
promise of 1886 would be bright indeed. Not
to borrow trouble, however, it can most pos
itively be said that feeling of confidence in
the future of busines now prevails through
the entire country, and we have entirely re-
covered from the effects of whatever panicky
feeling that prevailed year or six months
ago.
The uncertainty about silver MAY excite
financial circles but it is exercising no inju-
rious feeling upon general business. Almost
as much pig iron and as many steel rails
were made in 1885 as in 1884. Notwithstand-
ing the depression in the first half of 1885,
the total production of pig iron was 2,150, ,816
net tons of 10000 pounds, against 2,267, ,021
tons in the first half of 1884, and 1922, ,592
tons in the second half.
The production of Bessemer steel rails in
the first half of 1885 was 432, 446 net tons,
against $685. $40 tons in the first half of 1884.

New YORK, Dec. 29.-The Commercial Adj

tion of duties ON imports into Great Britain
from countries imposing duties on imports
from Great Britain. The measure win be
founded on the report to Lord Iddesleigh's
commission on trade which finds first that
the English depression is due primarily to
foreign competition and disposes of the
previously accepted doctrine of exceptional
causes such as temporarily overstocking /;
second, that successful foreign competition
results from fiscal policy productive of i'm
ports of English productsi third, that the

of wages being kept low by the effects on
