purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle.
ment. This land embraces lands from first.
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 12o, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual tnstallments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three yenrs. and then
the purchaser is to have five years In which to
pay five equDl annual installments. with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annurn.
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had IN California for less than from 500 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
supJect OF this advertisement wiz prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase of this
oody OF land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting it's set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Mrs. Lucy Wood of Ban re passed her
106th birthday on Wednesday, although
she cherishes the belief that she did not
see the light of day until January 10Th.
1856; but the records of Jaffery, N. H.,
show her to be in error, and that she
was born January 9th. Mrs. Woods
maiden name was Lucy Whitney. When
IS years of age she became the wife of
John Wood of Mendon, Mass, and they
took up their residence in Barre, which
was then wilderness, and she has lived
to see it become one of the most thriving
towns in the State and the most import
ant centre of the granite industry in the
United States. Mrs. Woods first home
was log cabin and in this rude dwell
ing this sturdy woman has often kept a
bright fire burning to scare away a
bowling pack of wolves. Mr.. Wood was
teamster in the war of 1912. He died
in 1879. Senator Edmunds secured her
a pension by special act of Congress.
Since her husbands death Mrs. Wood
has lived with her children and now re-
sides with her maiden daughter, Sophia,
who is nearly 70 years old. She was
blessed with ten children. Nearly all
are dead. Aunt Lucy" now spends her
time in making log-cabin squares, which

DEFERRED COUNTY ITEMS.


A foolish law: In North Adams they
have a law, furnishing any person who
leaves his horses standing in the streets
without blankets for the space of five
minutes. One of our townsmen lately
marketed load of produce at that place,
and before leaving for home he stopped
at place for some shoes, leaving his
horses uncovered, as did not expect to
be gone long. After the team had stood
fifteen seconds over five minutes, 4
policeman lead the horses away to a
hotel and another one of those human
fellows who make up the Adams police
force, led our friend to the station house,
from which he only got released by the
payment of $3.50. This is one of those
statutes which reminds us of the folly
and superstition of our Puritan ances-
tors. Such law, if it really exists, was
the work of towards in the legislature.
Perhaps it is the only thing in North
Adams that could suggest to stranger
that this neighbOring village even claimed
Puritanic origin. A law forbidding
one to let his horses stand uncovered in
the streets, on a cold day, more than
one half hour, might do some good. but
law that will lock up man and fine
him $3.50 for leaving his horses without
blankets fifteen seconds over five
minutes, is one which outrages decency
and violates personal rights. Fools in
our Legislatures have sometimes passed
foolish laws, but the people of Vermont
have generally too good sense to ever put
them in force, virtue which our MaSsa-
chusetts neighborS seem not to possess,

JERSEY JUSTICE.


The guests at the Lakewood Hotel
Lakewood, n. j., are enjoying good ma
tured laugh at the expense of Alfred de
CordOva He has private wire from
his New York Office to Lakewood, and
spends the greater part of his time at the
latter resort. He also has a half mile
track at Chetolah, stock farm near
North Branch, n. j. A short time ago
the vigilant New jersey law officers
mulCted him $50 for speeding horse on
the track. Since that time he has been
somewhat apprehensive regarding the
time and place Jersey justice was likely
to strike.
OF this fact his friends at the hotel
took advantage. 1t was learned that the
victim, who was in New York, would ar
rive at the Lakewood depot on Saturday
afternoon. One of the employees of the
hotel, a light-cOmplexiOned colored man,
was hired and dressed up to persOnate
an officer. Then the conspirators, in

gagged big tally-ho, got George, Grover
Cleveland's coachman, to handle the
reins, and drove to vhe depot in great
style. The word had been passed
around that when de COrdova arrived
there would be sensational developments
and about 100 persons were in the depot
Finally the train pulled up to the station
and the victim, wearing a happy smile,
alighted. He was accompanied by his
wife, but she was taken aside by femi-
nine conspirator and the plot explained
to her. The crowd stood off and stared
coldlg at de CordOva, and his smile
faded. Finally E. b. Talcott walked up
to him, and, with a solemn, sympathetic
air, said
alfred, old man, this is bad business
but try and keep stiff upper lip and it
may come out all right"
"Why, wha-what's the matter ?''
asked the victim as the color in his face
receded.
At this point the policeman" APP
preached, and in severe tones said:
II have warrant for your arrest, sir, {"

what for ?'' he managed to say.
Keeping bucket shop in the hotel, {"
was the response.
Better go along with him and not
make any fuss" suggested Talcott.
The prisoner waited to see his wife, but
he was informed that some plausible ex-
cuse had been made to her, and he was
hustled into the tally-ho.
''He doesn't look like hardened
criminal" said man in the crowd that
watched the officer and the prisoner as
they were driven away. The tally-ho
had not gone far when the prisoner
glanced at the warrant" and a light
broke upon him. The conspirators were
forced to give vent to their suppressed
meriment, and with the remark, "Boys,
the tutti-frutti is on me-" de Cordova
joined in.-NeU York Sun.

This convention is called for the pur-
pose of recognizing the State League,
electing officers and choosing delegates

The Executive Committee appeals to
Republicans in every town to organize
clubs and elect full quota of delegates.
The basis of representation i'll the con-
vention will be one delegate to every
fifty members, and one additional dele
gate for every fraction thereof.
The President and Secretary of every

RUsSIA's RUIN

a telegram from the Province of Yer
Onsch via. st. Petersburgh, January Sth,
reports a member of the Provincial As
semblY as saying that the Province of
Vernesch, one of the richest in Russia. is
suffering terribly from famine. The ma
FORTY of the peasants huts are deserted.
There has been general emigration to
other provinces, especially to Siberia.
The death rate has doubled. Marriages
have almost ceased. The receipts of the
drink shops have decreased One-fourth.
Forty-tive per cent of the horses and cat
tie have been sold to knockers. The
town of Veronesch is infested with hag-
gard beggars. The townsfOlk are doing
their utmost to relieve the distress. The
peasants show an utter lack of self-help.
They Iely entirely upon the Gar.
The gentry are very apprehensive
GunSmiths declare that there has been an
unusual demand from peasants for fire
arms, and that their stocks are almost
exhausted. The gentry declare tibet the
system under which every peasant is ex-
pected to hold land is serious evil, as
the peasants are thus unwilling to be
hired, except at rate making farming
Improbable.
Another evil'is that German and other
foreign agents and engineers have been
driven from the country. and there is no.
body to req lace them. 1t is not thought
that the Government discourages tech
meal education, but the schools are for
most part closed on account of the in
subordination OF the pupils.
The Government is building railways
in regions where those already existing
are not used, while the great grain-pro-
ducing district of South and Central
Russia is neglected.
