The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
gives these particulars of that Swedish
colony which is coming to Vermont
next spring: The plan to utilize the
"waste bog" land in Vermont. and also
to repopulate the depleted State, devils
ed by Nicholas E. Mannall of Manpal
& Co. of this city, is progressing favor
ably. Mr.. Mannall has recently bought
$4,000 acres of land in Essex county,
VT, just off the Canadian border and in
the towns Of Norton Mills, Averill. Av-
cry and Warren Cores. The land has
a deep black soil with few stones and
no rocks and being covered with fine
timber, its natural appearance closely
resembles parts of Norway and Sweden.
Moreover it is an unusually fine lumber
country, and the settlers will be sure
to get work at the mills, when the farm
work is not pressing. Mr.. Mannall has
recently sold 1000 acres of land to
Swedes. who live in this city, and they
will move to the new field early in the
spring. The price is between 81 and
so an acre, and the land was sold in
lots varying between 40 and 175 acres.
The Springfield party consists of six
Swedish families, who emigrated to this
country some years ago, and who by
working in the shops have managed to
lay by snug sums of money. They de-
sire, however, to return to the old
methods of making a living, and so
seize with eagerness on this opportunity
for farm life. 1t is expected that in
time $50 families will go to live there
as the cost of living is small in compare
son with the cities.
