Editor Pierce of the Bennington Banner,
who accompanied Gov Dillingham; and
party to this place week ago or so, says
Enquiry as to the price of farms in Viii
mington, Monday, elected the information
that good farms, with full equipment of
buildings thereon, can be purchased at
about 50 per acre, and for $40 per acre the
best farms in that town can be bought. 1t
does seem as if now was the time to acquire
real estate in Vermont, because it is not
probable that these prices will govern any
length of time" Whoever gave Mr. Pierce
such information was certainly very wild
in his judgment. To Illustrate take a few
of the good farms and they stand in the
grand list as follows w. Boyd & Son. 1870
acres, $4,000 Ephraim Haskell place, 1850
acres, $4,000 ID. j. Palmeter, ljj acres,
$4,000 Hiram Haskell, 1856 acres, $4,000 /;
John S. Rice, 80 acres, $1,000; f. II.
Smith & Son, 2l5 acres, $500, May &
Adams, lao acres, $500 Aud 80 we
might give hundred cases showing SINH
lar values If our best farms can be bought
for $40 per acre we need double barreled
boom" and the listers be sent around
again with instructions to make a horizon
tai cut of 90 per cent, at least.
