An Example for vermonters.

Eight or ten years ago, says the Spring
field Reporter, the farmers about Weathers-
field Centre sent to Boston for a lot of
foreigners to use as farm laborers. Upon
arrival they proved to be all Hungarians,
none of whom remained more than few
weeks, with the exception of one employed
by Henry Smith. This young mans name
was Michael, with jawbreaker for last
name which was very soon metamOrphosed
into that of "Jake Smith" He has work
ed at various places at farming, and by in
dustry, temperance and economy he has
accumulated enough money so that last
spring he bought the Lewis Bemis farm i'm
Baltimore, one of the so-called abandoned
farms of Vermont. Working out till after
haying, he has since thoroughly repaired
and furnished the house, making it today
one of the prettiest places in town. Here,
last Friday evening, Nov. %, he held a
use-warming and oyster supper, to which
came about ore hundred of his friends and
neighbors to rejoice with him in his success,
and wish him all happiness in his new
home. To the young men he is an exam
pie of what may be done. Coming to this
country so short a time ago, without
knowledge of a word of our language,
without a cent in his pocket, today he owns
a farm paid for, is a member of the Baptist
church, and respected by all who know
him.
