Two Kinds OF Farmers.

For years New England farmers made
money. in thousands of cases II was
the disposal of the farm profits that de-
termined the future of the farm. One
class OF farmers put every cent they
could collect into the bank, or sent their
cash away to new cities in the West aud
South for investment at II high
rate of interest Nothing was
invested in the farm itself Fcrti
lizers, improved stock, methods aud
implements were not used because
they apparently gave lower rate of
interest than cash In baak or rail-
road stocks. Another class of farm
ers studied to invest portion Of
the farm profits in the farm itself
Fertilizers were bought and iudiciously
used, the live stock best adapted to the
soil and situation were bred, and the i'm
plcments that reduced the labor bill most
effectively were employed Is it ncccs
sary for us to say which class of farmers
have been breeding abandoned farms -
Every farm owner In the country may
well bear these facts in mind. Neglect
Your farm and sooner or later you or
your descendants will have to abandon
1t or spend cash tn bring it back To life.

GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL.
Petitioners for Pardon OF Smith
Given Leave to Withdraw-Nomi-
nation OF Pitcher Not Confined.

The Governor aud Council met at 10 A.
NJ. yesterday. the Governor in the chair.
A petition for the pardon of Joseph y.
Smith Jr. of Veszie, was taken up and a
hearing granted. Smith was convicted of
murder in 1872 in Penobscot County, the
prosecution being conducted by Hon. Thos.
b. Reed, then Attorney General. Smith
was then young man or rather boy. being
only Ii years old. 1t seems that one JOS
Ign Of Charleston had been displaying con-
siderable money aud Smith had decided to
put himself in posse ssion of it; so arming
himself with club he crept on his victim
and struck him terrible blow on the head
which felled him to the earth and rendered
him unconscious and from the effects of
robbed i'm of his money and made his es-
cape but was soon captured and convicted
as above stated.
Hon. Lewis Barker and Hon. T. W.
Vose of Bangor appeared for the petition
ers and County Attorney Bailey for the
State. Hon. J. W. Palmer of Bangor, G.
B. Marden and wife, Mrs. Ebenezer Sproul,
Mrs. John w. Veazie and several others of
Veszie appeared As witnesses for the Pc
titioners. Mr.. Smiths father WAS also
present. The grounds on which a pardon
was asked were the extreme youth Of the
prisoner when the crime was committed.
and the fact that the boy really had no
home or home training after he was two
years old, the father marrying a second
wife who abused the boy and drove him
from home. The petitions included nearly
all the residents of Veazie and the wit
nesses all testified to the good character
and disposition of the boy prior to the
murder. The case was ably conducted BY
Messr'. Barker and Vose, Mr.. Bailey con-
6nng himself to few questions to the
witnesses. Later in the day the matter was
taken up in executive session and the vote
of the Council was unanimous giving the
petitioners leave to Withdraw.
The Governor called up the matter of
William IL. Pitcher of Bangor whom he
had nominated for special constable for
Penobscot county, and the vote decided
unanimously against confirmation
Mr.. Lumbert, chairman of the commit
tee on Indian affairs. stated that the matter
of shore rents On Indian Island had not
been settled. and wished the case referred
to the whole Council, which was ordered.
He explained that Mr.. Stove, the Indian
agent at Old Town claimed the rent should
he one thousa dollars yearly. while the
Penobscot Lumber Company, Who have
been leasing these shores for many years,
claimed that eight hundred dollars was q
fair price. After some explanation BY
Hon. ]. W. Palmer. who represented the
lamber company, the matter was tabled
till next meeting.
The nominations made one week age
we're all confirmed, after which the Council
adjourned to July 10Th.
