GRAFTON.

Mr.. and Mrs. Myron Taylor from Wash

for their summer vacation.
A few friends enjoyed a rare treat. at
this time of the year, on the evening of
June at the home of Mrs. f. S. Hall.
having maple sugar cooled upon snow.
Walter Hemmenway sustained a serious
fracture of the colar-bone by being thrown
from his carriage on Tuesday of this week.
The following is from the Springfield,
Mass, Republican of Thursday: "a hear
ing was given before Judge Shurtleff
yesterday in a contest over the will of
Saviah, widow of A. b. Howe, the wealthy
builder. The contestant is Henry w.
Woolley of Grafton, VT, an only brother
of Mrs Howe, but toward whom, as it was
testified, she had positive dislike, and so
did not remember him at all in her will.
The large property of Mr. Howe, who is
estimated to have been worth over 500. 900.
was distributed among relatives. Mrs.
Howe, however, had property amounting
to $4,000, and during the life of her hus-
band she made will, disposing of it in
much the same way as he had done. Mrs.
Howe was quite feeble, and the contestant
claims that she was incompetent to make
will, and was unduly influenced by the
heirs.

Horace Butterfeld, aged -, committed

A Ludlow farmer is on trial the present

When potatoes are wanted for early
market a correspondent writing in The
Republic says:
Great care should be taken to select
piece Of land that is well drained,
loamy and readily prepared in a good
filth, Potatoes nod 4 deep preparation
and thorough cultivation in order to
receive vigorous growth. Get good
early variety. Early Sunrise and Charles
Downing are both good early varieties.
Get seed of good quality. Good seed
is necessary in order to secure vigorous
thrifty plant 1t is much easier to keer
vigorous, thrifty plants growing than to
induce weak, sickly plant to grow well
Prepare the soil well and then work
ont the rows, running the pillow deep
Take forkful of fresh manure from the
horse stable and put where each hill OF
potatoes is to be planted; put on this
about two inches of rich, fine soil and
then drop the seed ON this and cover
three or four inches deep, at least, press
ing the soil down well upon the seed
Keep the soil in good filth so as to Sc.
cure vigorous growth. Thin out as soor
as the plants make their appearance
above ground, leaving not more thar
three good vines to each hill The bene
fit of the manure is that it keeps the sol
somewhat warmer and also affords goot
drainage-two items in securing an early
termination and start to grow. In THU
way supply can be obtained earlier
than by almost any other way Of out
door planting.

TO THE
FARMERS Of VERNON !!

1t has accidently come 10
my knowledge that you &C.
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 60, 70
and even 80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you
only penny for a postal card
on which to send me your adj
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method oftaking off and caring
for your calf skins. | will very
|

A Oneer Old Lady.

Mrs. Jane McKeene, an old lady in
Lewiston, who was recently taken to the
insane asylum, had been very eccentric
for years while working in the cotton
mills, and number of stories are told
of her peculiarities At one time she
had u lot of cockToncbes in box near
her looms, which she would feed regu-
larry every day. Whether they ate the
food provided them by their benefactress
is not known, but she took good care of
them, and they increased III numbers M
I'll at last the superintendent discovered
them and had them removed.
The old lady cried bitterly that her
pets-and whoever had such pets before,
were removed. They say she used to
drop silver coin in the canal each day,
which she said went TO feed her husband
and boy, who were drowned at sea. Her
boys clothes, which she carried under
her arm, she never parted with. Every
morning she took the bundle to her work
and each night returned with it.-Ban-

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER
A Typical Picture.
Farmers Advocate,

Above all other pictures we place
that typical Vermont home scene in
which we were an honored guest, 1t
is the family homestead of three gen.
erations, The grandfather wrought it
out of the primeval forest, the grand
son holds it in loyal affection and u
model home il is. But there is one
scene we cannot forget. 1t is that OF
two historic guns side by side, silent
eloquent witness of the great turning
points in our nations history. One
is the old flint-lock shot gun with bay
onet OF ancient style, the gun of the
grandfather that he carried through
the revolutionary war, the gun that
drew the first British blood in that war
at Lexington, the witness of the pat
riotsm of those who bought our liberty
by their blood. The other Is the
modern rifle of the sharp shooters of
the civil war, model of perfection of
Its kind. 1t was the weapon of mine
host, the grandson, who with it helped
to win at Gettysburg and so saved the
imperilled Union. Two grand men,
entoes of the two great pivotal events
of our nations history. They speak
volumes in honor of that family and
home. But that is typical Vermont
farmers home, Many there are with
treasured cmblems of patriotic sacri-
fee and service for our Common Coun-
try, and can any one doubt the sign
ifcance of these emblems of patrio'
tism in our farmers homes?

Items of Interest.

A policeman at Dubuque, Ia, cap
tured deer with a lasso on his beat
the other night and attempted to take
the animal to the station, but instead
was given lively turn around town,
his prisoner finally escaping to the
woods.
The opponents of the license bill in
the New Hampshire House are trying
to defeat that measure by absenting
themselves and leaving the body with
out aquorum. The speaker not heing
willing to adopt Reeds system of
counting quorum, the tatics of the
opposition have so far been success
full.
The famous gray overcoat of Nap
oleon has been stolen by gang of
burglars, who probably were unware
of its historical value, and most likely
sold it to some ss old clio" dealer.

their booty they broke open glaas

The ladies of Dover, Me-, who are
members of the Congregational church
are saving wood, shoveling snow and
heaving in coal to earn little money
for fund to be used in repairing their
church. One woman had spat with
her husband because he would not al
low her to earn five cents by hauling
the weeks washing home on sled.
That public taste is changing in the
matter of circus attractions is seen in
the fact that p. L. Barnum is trying
to buy Nelson, the fast equine, fol
$3.50, 900 and starring him with his
show. The public is no longer salts
fed with trick horses Or woolly horses,
but demands something entirely diff
erent.

Lodgings for Londnn's Poor.

Gen. Booth wishes the lord mayor to
take a leaf out of the book of the Paris
municipality and fit up, or allow the
Salvation Army to fit up, ''any building
or buildings such as may be under the
control of the corporation" to serve as a
night shelter during the bitter weather
for those whose sleeping place is the
open street and whose hearth is the cold
stony pavement of our bridges If the
lord mayor will thus provide beds for
outcast London the general will do some
thing III the way of board.
Surely, before the city fathers are
asked to make dormitory of the Guild
hall the city churches ought to take the
first step. If there were mattresses in
the pews and shakedowns along the
aisles the edifces would be serving a
good many more of those for whom they
were built than they see anything of at
present either by day or night, and the
idea would not fit III badly with Chris
tianity, whether it tailed with political
economy or not. In France they arc
just voting 900 to relieve the distress
in large towns. and are about to do tho
same by country districts.-Pall Mall
Budget,

A correspondent of the Springfield
Reporter writing from the Adirondack
region, says:
1t was told me that not twenty men
could be found in the town who did
not drink to excess, and that not a
guide in all that region could be call
ed temperance man. A few noble
women, (some thirty or forty in num-
ber,) are banded together in the w.
c. 7. U. and are most earnest in
their work, and surely they have a
work to do that we know comparative
ly nothing of in our quiet town where
the open barroom with all its attend
ing evils is not known.
