BIG GIFT TO BRIGHAM ACADEMY
The trustees of Bakersfield academy
have been notified that Mrs. Sarah B.
Jacobs, a native of Bakersfield and
sister of Peter Brent Brigham the
founder of the academy, who died in
Boston last week, has willed all ex-
cept about $4,000 of her estate, val
ued at about 100000, to the acade-
my as an endowment fund. P. B.
Brigham at his death in 1877 left
100000 as a school fund for Bakers
field, his native town; in 1873 Mrs.
Jacobs gave $4,000 toward erecting
an academy, and soon after Mrs. S.
j. (Brigham) Kendall, niece of Mr.
Brigham and Mrs. Jacobs, added
$1,000 to the building fund. These
handsome gifts to Brigham academy
are now supplemented by an endow-
ment that is much larger than that
of any other similar institution in
the state except St. Johnsbury acad-
envy.

Why WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL
American farmers have sent 81, 600

that about $50, 100000 in gold will
have to come to the United States to
pay for only part of two months

imagination to present an adequate
picture of the richness of this years
entire harvest, nor can the wealth to
be brought in the next year to these
shores be fully realized by any mere
figures, though estimates of it are
common enough. To say that the
balance of foreign trade is now in
favor of this country at the rate of
nearly $2,000,000 for each working
day, or $600,000,000 a year, prob
ably presents less striking fact to
the fancy of most people than the
statement that solid trains of grain
laden freight cars, twenty-five miles
long, arrived in Duluth, Minneapolis
and Chicago within thespace of TWEEN

THE VERMONT HUMANE SOCIETY,"
The Vermont Humane society will
hold a general convention of that
body at the city of Vergennes on
Tuesday December II, 1891. The
convention will assemble at the city
hall at 10 a. m. on the date named
and the interest of the society will be
ably discussed. Addresses may be
expected from wel[known speakers
who are deeply interested in the work
of the society The object of this
convention is to more fully perfect it's
organization and if possible, inspire
more earnest and united labor in the
accomplishment of a noble purpose.
While societies of similar character
all over our land are alive to the i'm
portance of this great question, it is
hoped that Vermont will also take
her place in line and assist in the
noble work.

HOLSTERS, like crabs, have a way OF
shooting" their claws, as the opera
ton is termed. Slight provocation will
persuade them TO drop their arms and
run away without them. 1t is said that
a loud noise or a clap of thunder will
produce this effect. An instance is re-
corded of an amateur fisherman who
caught a lot of HOLSTERS and in order
to keep them fresh tied them by their
claws and hung them by strings over
the side of a vessel. In the morning
only the claws remained attached TO
the cords, the Holsters having dispensed
with them and disappeared. Lobster
meat is about six-tenths rs nutritious
as beef. 1t contains "A remarkably large
percentage of phosphorus. There is no
way in which that element, supposed TO
be so important for nourishing the
brain, can be so readily assimilated as

County Notes.

Cambridge, the greatest maple SUI
gar town, not only in Vermont, but
in the world, has seventy-six applica-
tions for the sugar bounty. OF this
number W. H. Parker, Esq.,, made
out sixty and takes considerable
pride in the fact that not one of them
came back for correction.
The firm of S. H. Waters & Co.
filed petition in insolvency at the
Probate Court in Burlington on Sat
urday, where Mr.. Waters now resides.
This is the firm that was engaged a
few years ago in manufacturing but
ter workers at Johnson, and had
brilliant prospects before it; but
poor management, and over-confi-
dence in the world at large resulted
in the firm which consisted of Mr.
Waters and his wife dropping some
$4,000. The liabilities are about
81 500 and the assets less than 5000.

METHoD OF FOREST PBEsERvATIoN-
Stove dealers report that they sell
more stoves with coai fxfngs every
year, and the falling off in the cop
sumption Of wood has been so great
of late that eerd wood can now be
lhsd much cheaper than twenty years
ago. At the same time the price of
coal has been falling, until now, in a
darge nunber of places, p greater
amount .ofheat for a given sum of
money can DE obtained from coal
than wood. One effect of this change
,of course, is to arrest the destruction
of the forests. The substitution of
coal for wood has already gone far
