A sp, ci i despatch from St AloanS
Vt to tine New York Tribune. says that
the State Commissioner Of AgrIcullur'
and Manufacturing Interests has JUS
published a new and valuable map OF
Vermont, showing the loca ion OF towns
IN which there are unOccupied farms.
The list embraces sixty towns, which
are made conspicuous on the map by be
ing printed in red The commissioner
states that good farms, wi h bullinga
in fair condition, and maple sugar or
chards, can be purchased AT from three
to five dollars per acre. Others WIN
better buildings and near to railroads OF
villages, are to be- had for from i've to
ten dollars an acre. None OF theses
lands are far from ready market, and
all are adapted to dairy purpose
They can he bought on easy terms
The descriptive tex on the margin OF
the map is printed IN both the English
and Swedish language, and the facts en-
braced in it are b9ssd upon Official re-
ports gathered by the Commission from
the listers and clerks in the various
towns.
The despatch states that already sew
eral thousand letters have beer received
from every part of The United States
making inquiry with regard 10 the un
occupied lands, and several sales have
been made TO former cit z.ns Of Vernon
now living in the West, and to RESIDENT
of the State.
This is an interesting movement. The
commissioner is doing a wise thing fo
, the State he represents in placing be
fore the world The advantages which ar
presented to thrifty and hardworklDI
farmers among the noble hills and feriIl
valleys Of Vermont. Industry and skill
, supplemented by improved and CHEAP
r enpd transportation for farm products
will do much to cause the waste place
of the State 60 become again the abOd
! of prosperous and PnterprisIng pOpU

living along the Connecticut, with Lon
dunderry and Windbam, are the only
ones which are not shown as containing
at least 1900 acres each Of unoccuDied
lands. Windsor and Orange counties
have ten towns each In this deplorable
condition.
WHY is thia2 No counties in the state
have greater natural advantages for car

than these which make 40 poor a show

This indictment has an even keener
edge than the former one. Provided
the investments are good there may be
reason in sending some money away To
newer countries where rates of interest
are higher and returns are quicker, but
nothing save ignorance or caIelessness
can account for the neglect OF money
making opportunities in a mans daily
business, when such opportunities exist.

The office vas consequently in her
charge for a period OF nearly thirty
years. In addition to this postOffice
business, Miss Park, with sister. car
ried on the business of farming since
the death of their father and even be-
fore. They also managed the yearly
sales of timber from their, by no means
small, tract of timber land in their
town.
Descended from an honorable ances-
try, Miss Park well maintained the
reputation of her progenitOrs for integ-
iity of character and natural ability.
OF the learning of the schools she had
received but little, blu she had read
much. and with her ready wit genial
temper and agreeable manners she was
fit company for the best. In repartee
she was good, and in the banter of
everyday life, charming. Her last
wo ds were in the attempted utterance
of good turn on neighbor who had
called, but her strength was gone and
she failed to complete the pleasantly.
Yet notwithstanding her incsiye wit,
she had no words to wound. Her
sunny disposition was proof against
that, though vigorous language was
never lacking when wrong was to be re-
buked or right defended. Nor was
there any smoothing over OF vlllalny
with her, no matter how cloaked with
pre- ems it was. Her pene ration oil
character was of the keenest. No sham
deceived her. But she was chart able
withal and to the faults and fa'lings OF
theirs she was ever kind.
In politics Miss Park was Republic
can, and of the sLraightest sort; too.
With Democracy she never had any
sympathy. When the Democrats were
Loco FOcos. she was Henry Clay
Wing. When they were COpperheads
she was Unonist with her flag nailed
to the mast. When they became Free
Traders she was Protectionist; and
for the Mugwumps she had only unut-
terable scorn. She was an ardent poll
tician, an earnest advocate of temper
ance, though not of the third party kini'
but her warm party predictions never
made enemies for her outside OF her
own party. Indeed, many who disa'
greed with her politically were her
warmest friends. ..y..-.
In ca ly life Miss Park did not pro-
TESS Christianity, though she always
| we'd it. Until the year 1873 there was
no church in the part of the town
where she lived, nor indeed, till about
that time any at all in the town. Soon
