the name of the donor nor the cost of this
valuable and highly appreciated gift, though

so. This Christian modesty, accompanying
such a generous and thoughtful present,

turn their attention to covering the church
cushions over and purchasing u new table for

Mr.. EDTToR;-Will you print in your next
paper a reply to William Raymond husking

three hours time. Nathan Robinson. an
early settler in Stowe, when he was some so
years of age, husked on bet of So, corn on
the hill in the field. emptied his basket in the
cart, rs baskets in twelve hours and half.
There are living witnesses in Stowe who back
this fact. Beside Mr. Robinson told me that
| fact himself, putting it in the newspapers dur
ing the last 20 years of his life, living to be
80. That is beating William two to one.
