Mr.. D. L. Morgan, superintendent of

peal to the people of the State for cast
off clothing, for the inmates of the in
stitution under his charge. In private
letter he saws: "Overcoats or any heavy
wooden, mems clothing or under cloth
ing are greatly needed, any thing that
will keep them warm. Many come here
in warm weather and very poorly clad,
whose terms expire in the winter. The
State makes no provision for clothing
for an outgoing prisoner 1t is a very
practical charity to aid these men, many
who are here through misfortune rather
than crime, and help them become good
citizens, as many go out resolved to do
better. Any aid given in this direction
will not only be appreciated but produce
good results" Should any in this vicln-
ity have good second hand garments
which they are willing to donate for
this object, by leaving them at the resi-
dence of DR.. E. l.. Wyman, Manchester
Centre, any time before January L. 1894,
they will be forwarded with promptness
to their destination.

pected to her intimate friends here, as
late intelligence regarding her condition
precluded any hope of her ultimate re-
covery. Since her marriage to Mr..
Charles b. Frost, a prominent manufac-
turer of Smiths Falls, Canada, Mrs.
Frost has made repeated visits to her
native town, renewing friendships of a
life time, and moving among scenes al
ways dear to her. her interest in dear
old Bennington Centre never abated and
the sweet memories of childhood days
were precious and often referred to with
marked pleasure. Many of her friends
in this vicinity have had the pleasure of
enjoying her generous hospitality at her
beautiful home in Canada, whose ap-
pointments revealed her excellent taste
and the management of which gave evil
ience of her rare executive ability.
The delightfully."- restful air that per-
vaded every surrounding will long be re-
membered by the visitor to that model
home. 1t was in this home that Mrs.
Frost was at her best, possessing fine
mind, inheriting great strength of char
acter coupled with womanly virtues of
the highest order. She made a noble
wife. The tenderest sympathy is ex-
tended to the devoted husband in his
great bereavement.

by payment and very little pledging.
The church was not wholly finished as
the painters had no time to complete
their work before the dedication day.
The little church is very nice and como
dious, finely heated and lighted. In an
other place is a report of the exercises.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never a time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life, re-
uuire continual accessions to the appur-
tenances and implements of each in or
der to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing DEFICIENCIES, does not per
nit the affairs of government tn deter
him from quickly cOnceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful attor-
new to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innu-
merable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially
is this advice applicable to those who
adopt the mo patent, no pay" system
Inventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at imminent
risk, as the breadth and strength of the
patent is never considered in view or a
quick endeavor to get an allowance and
obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedder-
burn, General Manager, 6lS f street, N.
W., Washington, d. c., representing a
large number of important daily and
weekly papers, as well as general period
icals of the country, was instituted TO
protect its patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company is
prepared to take charge of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutes APP
plications generally, including mechani-
cal inventions, design patents, trade
marks, labels, copyrights, interferences,
infringements, validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected
cases. 1t is also prepared to enter into
competition with any firm in securing
foreign patents.

There is great deal ofindignation felt
against trusts The Sugar Trust, the
Standard Oil Trust, the Welsh Tin Plate
Trust, the English Salt Trust, and other
combinations of the kind, are vigorously
denounced, and it is a subject of con-
troversy whether there are more trusts in
England than in America, and whether
Protection or Free Trade fosters them.
But there is one form of trust against
which no one has anything to say. That
is the trust the public reposes in Hoods
