Abe Bunter in the Poor House.

ABE Bunter," Williamstown's fam
GUS negro centenariau, who has hunted
himself to fame, was removed from his
little log cabin on the hill in White Oaks
to the WilliamstOwn town farm Dec.
26, by the authorities of that place. He
objected somewhat to being taken to
the town farm, as he cherished the rude
home in which he had lived for many
years. He was very sickly, however,
having had nothing to eat for day or
so, and it took but little persuasion to
convince him that he would be much
better off at the poor house. His wife
who is also old, was taken with him.
There are but few persons in Nassa-
chusetts and eastern New York, who
have not heard of or read about Williams
towns ABE Bunter" and there is not
a graduate of Williams college who is
not well acquainted with him. On the
top of his head is hard substance re-.
sembling bone, but very much harder,
and with this Abe has done a great
many things. The story is that he once
broke IA grindstone which had been
placed in bag into two pieces, having
been told that 1t was a cheese, and that
he could have it if he would break 1t.
He claims that he has killed many ram
i'll a fight by bunting him, and old resi-.
dents of the town tell stories that they
know to be true, which seem hardly
possible. He once broke in door at a
fire which several men had failed to force
open, and he says that once he stunned
a bull by meeting him squarely IN the
head. There is some doubt as to his ex-
act age. He claims that last Fourth of
July was his 106th birthday.

The Fitchburg railroad has had sur

company has for a long time been con-
templating the erection of a larger tank
at this place as here nearly all the en-.

tank has been severely taxed at times.
1t is thought that the railroad will
build tank large enough to supply the
engines that go through here, as this
town has almost unlimited water supply
and the brook from which the present
tand is filed is quite large stream and
has good fall.

Il. 3. Minis & Co. Fail

Henry b. Minis and II. Miles Minis,
comprising the firm of Fl. B. Minis & Co.,
doing a general stationery and book sell
ling business in Troy, made general as
signn ent Friday morning to s. Augustus
Sillimau.
H. b. Minis made this statement about
the failure: This move was not decided
upon until Monday morning. We have
not been sued by creditors, and until
Monday expected to go on as usual, but
| awoke to the fact that if we did con-
tinue in business another year at the end
of it we should certainly with the pres
ent outlook, oe no better off and have
wasted a year. The business on the
north side of the store was in prosper
Gus condition. The fine stationary de-
partment, under Mr.. Myers was espe-
cially satisfactory; the blank work and
athletic department under Mr.. Griffin,
equally so, and the paper department
| conducted by my son was showing
monthly increased sales, but the book
department was dead weight on the
business. Stock that cost over SIC, 200
would not move. We tried selling it at
cost, but the sales were trfing. SO we
| decided to make an assignment and thus
force the sale of the book stock with the
re t. The book trade all over the coun-
try is in deplorable condition. About
three years ago Lowell, a publisher,
failed and dumped on the market books
that cost over a million dollars. Shortly
afterwards Worthington, Webster and
others failed and their books were forced
to a sale. The result is that there is no
uniformity in the price or value of a
great quantity of book stock. When we
succeeded Messrs. Minis Il Knight we
had besides other stock, books that cost
us $685. 900. We have in three years re.
duced it $4,000, but the sacrifice has
been very severe for us. Our liabilities
a year ago were $47, 900, and our assets
about 1000. The store will for a
| short time be closed for inventory, under
the direction of Mr.. Silliman, the as
signee, then opened and the public will
have an opportunity to buy the stock in
all departments. Myself and son do not
propose to devote more than three
months to closing up the business and
if we start again it will not be in the
book business. We have done the best
we could for our creditors in our assign
ment, and all trust funds are secured
beyond any possibility of loss"
