Gla1t tooth has proven itself invaluable"
The tooth bars are made of 2X2 inch
pine, riveted with a quarter inch rivet at
every tooth. The teeth are of three
eighths inch steel, about six inches long,
and driven in even with the wood on q
slant of forty degrees. The harrow is
made in two sections. On top of the
tooth bars, in the centre Of each section,
Is Il 2X4 inch pine cleat or cross bar bolt
ed to each tooth bar near the front edge
Of tooth bar. Near each end of the tooth
bars is a thin, hardwood cross bar
bolted to each tooth bar near the back
edge and on the under side of the tooth
bars. This arrangement of boiling the
cross bars keeps the tooth bars from
twisting.
The sections are braced as shown.
Both of them are hinged together by
braced frame made of two 2x4 inch
sticks, with an inch oak board bolted
across the center and extending in front
to draw the harrow by. The frame and
sections are fastened together by swivel
bolts. Handles made from smooth fence
wire for lifting the harrow in trashy
ground are also shown. The seat is from
an old Mccormick mower, and is what
is called the adjustable sliding seat. By
sliding the seat to the right the driver
can balance the harrow perfectly. The
teeth are placed seven and half inches
apart in the tooth bar, and the bars the
same distance apart, center to center, so
that this harrow has a tooth to every one
and half inches, and the ends do as
good work as the middle.
The materials can be bought, with the
exception of the seat, for 50 OF 81. Being
nearly all made of pine it is very light,

tatoes after they are up with only one

Doyou ask, ''lWhere can L do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
lis give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles -
1st. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one OF
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as home institution
Every dollar is loaned in LamOille and
adjacent counties. and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
3d. Under no circumstances is dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other f-the-State security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by mourning a little additional
risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a long felt
want" in Vermont for savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
stitutions. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and or
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depOsiting public the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for a strictly home Investment
Savings Bank That such demand eX-
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an institution, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate of
the small deposits alone i'll this bank
not counting any in excess of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of its business. $57,l96.OO, a record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over 6per cent. 1t would
not. knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of siX-tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositors. 1t must then be
evident that per cent. per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
withdrawn.

Successful National Banks,

The Boston Daily Advertiser gives the
following interesting account of tbs
Maverick National Bank, of Boston, q
bank which is as well known in busines
and financial circles as any bank in the
United States.
The Maverick bank was incorporated
in 1854, and WAS one of the last, if not
the very last, incorporated under what
was known as the old banking law OF
Massachusetts, 1t had local interest
that is, it was intended to advance the
the interests of East Boston, which, since
1880, had grown to be one of the most
important outlying wards of Boston. 1t
had established shipyards and other
large manufacturing industries; it was
| the Boston terminus Of the Cunard line
of the steamships, and it had arranged
for series OF warehouses and dock
privileges which have since become
famous in the commercial history OF
Boston.
In 1875 the bank moved to its present
| quarters in the city proper, at the corner
of Congress and Water streets, IN Post
office square.
But the Maverick of 1854 was but q
mere shadow of what the Maverick Bank
of to-day is-that is in the great volume
of its business. The capital remains to-
day the same as it was n 1854, $400, 900,
but its transactions now are immense.
When we say that its present surplus
is over 5000, 900 the story OF its great sue
cess is told.
In many respects its management at
the present time is very much like that
which has characterized the Chemical
Bank of New York for three-quarters of
century. Asa Z. Potter its present able
president, is born financier. He
took to financiering naturally, ami his
early education with Way, Warren x
Co. strengthened his instinct. AS all
agency bank, the Maverick stands at
the head OF the Boston banks. The term
agency is susceptible of several interpre
tations, but we use it merely in the sense
of a tiduciary factor; and We do not
hesitate to say that under the presidency
of Mr.. Potter, few banks in the country
have absorbed so much of domestic and
foreign business in exchanges and credits
as the Maverick National Bank of 1890.
The original directors were Samuel
Hall, Noah Sturtevant, William G. Bars
tow, Henry N. Hooper, f. A. Sumner.
Samuel Hall, the first president, was the
well-known shipbuilder OF East Boston.
Capt. William O. Bartsow was the genial
treasurer Of the East Boston company, IL
genuine old salt, and sociable com
panion. Henry n. Hooper, was then
at the head OF the great copper foundry
firm of Henry N. Hooper d Co., Com
mercial street. Noah Sturtevant was Of
the old coal firm OF Newell, Stuhevant &
Co., and large owner Of real estate in
East Boston. Frederick A. Summer was
of the firm of Sumner & Swift
The present directors are Asa P. Pot
ter, President, Henry F. Woods, Jonas
H. French, Thomas Dana, j. W. Work.

Springs and Denver, making this the

Horrible Suffering.

ST. PETERSBURG, May l9.- Horrible
scenes are reported to have occurred dur
ing the burning of Tomsk, the capital OF
Western Siberia. This place was visited
simultaneously by a contlaGration and q
cyclone, the result being the destruction
OF lhree-quarters of the town and the loss
of hundreds of lives.
The cathedral is in ashes. The walls
falling crushed an adjacent hospital, bury
ing the inmates, who were roasted alive,
The bishop and priests marched through
the burning city with sacred emblems
and administered absolution to the dying
and blessed the dead. The panic-stricken
sufferers huddled together in the streets
and, firmly believing the end of the world
had come, abandoned themselves.to stold
despair. The storm was followed by a
sudden fall in temperature and soon the
devastated city was buried beneath a
mantle of snow and added singing cold
to the suffering of thousands OF shelter
less men, women and children.

DENVER, May l9.-rhe freight rates BY
both steamship lines between Atlantic
seaboard points and Colorado common
points will be raised on June 2. This
means that the rate of about $40 per
100 from New York by way of Galveston
will become $2,47. Both the Cromwell
and the Mallory lines of steamers have
been dissatisfied with their percentage of
the rates for freight coming over the
Santa Fe and the Denver, Texas & Fort
Worth, and they have at length come to
terms.
The effect of this increase can not but
be ininri 1us to Denver shippers. 1t is to
be hoped that sufficient arguments can
be brought to bear upon the railroad Off
cials to induce them to make a reduction
IN the rail rates, so that the total will
approximate the present charges. In
any event it is believed that Denver
merchants will be to too wise to overload
on goods at the present figures, simply to
secure the rates before June 2.
