THE NAMES ON THE CIRCULAR.

Mr. EDIToR:-The letter from F. w
Blanchard in last weeks Journal goes to
40 ne trouble to prove that he has no
abandoned farms in his possession; a
fact that Commissioner Valentine never
intended to intimate. The commission
er's office has been fl Joded with thous-
ands Of tiers asking for information
concern ng the lands in various parts of
our state of which he knows nothing.
To overcome the difficulty he issued the
circular which so aroused Mr.. Blanch-
ards ire. In a msjOritv of cases the
names are those of he listers. In
Weathprsfie!d, F. w. Bla lchard and
George Upham are so gwen. AS for ms
own name know not how it came
here, ,Eand It is well known that never
owned foot OF. land in my life. Nv
knowledge OF the town will enable me
TO give some information about the
cheap farms, found therein. Report is
all that is expected of any of the gentle
men named. Weathersfield was not Sci
down on the mp as one with absn-
doned farms This was not owing tC
the non compliance OF the listers with
the commissioners request. They were
particular TO ask the questions on the
circular and found ten farms which
were classed under the head of aban-
doned. The town is fortunate in this re
specI. There is no better land IN Wind
sOr county than lies in Weathersfield, il
il is hilly. With the natural advantages
fer agricultural productions and lht
manufacturing opportunities so freely
lavished in the town II may confidently
hope for more improvement still. ThI
advent OF one OF more new railroads viii
settle the question Of abandoned farm
in short order. B II. ALLBEE.
