GONE TO NEW YORK.


| Three young women of this city loft
thelr MONIES Sunday afternoon and with
OUT inc knowledge or consent OF their
parents went to New York on the sleeper
at $3.50. No cause for their leaving their
homes can be assigned
The girls were Lizzie and Louise Will
son, daughters of John Wilson, the florist,
aged respectively, II and 20, and kittic II.
griffin, the 10 year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Griffin, who reside ut No. &C
| Spruce street Neither the Wilson nor
Griffin families knew of the girls plans
and both families are much surprised and
panied at the action of their daughters.
All of the girls had behaved as usual,
although Mr. and Mrs Wilson had not
found their daughters easy to control and
at various times had experienced trouble
with them, Lizzie being the most head
strong OF the two until one week ago
Sunday evening when Lizzie Wilson and
Katie Griffin made their first attempt 10
| run away. At that time the two girls
went TO Essex Junction on tho electric
cars and, taking the New York express
there, came to Burlington, where they
were removed from the train and sent
home by the officer on duty at the station
who was notified OF their Intention by
Louise Wilson, who did not then intend
to accompany them. The girls then went
homo and had appeared as usual during
| tfle week, tnOuRn lJizzlc, Wfeil Teprlranu-
ed by her father, had said she would try
! ii again.
Sunday afternoon the Wilson girls went
! out as usual but failed to return and upon
investigation late in the evening II was
found that they had removed from the
house nearly all of their clothing together
with other small articles, many of which
had been given them by their parents. 1t
was then decided that they had made an
other attempt to leave the city. The Grf-
fin girl made no preparation for going
away and took no extra clothing or
money. She too, went away in the after
noon and her parents thought she was
staying over night, as she often did. with
Mrs. Grfiin's sister They knew nothing
of her absence from the city until yester-
day morning. The girls leave loving fam
1 lilies and good comfortable homes.
/ 1t is thought that the girls intend to try
getting n position with some opera COM
pany. The Wilson girls have a sister in
the vicinity of New York, though her
whereabouts are not exactly known, and
Mr.. Griffin has a cousin In that city.
AS yet no attempt to follow or bring
back the girls has been made. Steps may
be taken to bring about their return to-
day but nothing certain Is yet decided up

THE HOME FUND.


day school "f oil ge street Cnurch
The additional brick collection from tho
Sunday school of the College Street
church. announced this morning, makes a
total of Slls.25 contributed by the Sunday
school of that church. more than twice
the amount given by any other Sunday
school. This splendid showing Is due In
no small measure to the labors OF Miss
Mary Roberts.
We trust our readers will not overlook
the fact that the amount needed for the
Home has not yet been raised. The ques-
ton is can our people. knowing the work
which the Home could do If properly equip
ped, afford to withhold the means for
such equipment. Many pitiful appeals
come to those in charge of The Home in
behalf of little motheress waits, destitute
and suffering, for whom there seems 10 be
no place in the world unless the Home adj
mits them to It's kindly shelter, and the
managers are obliged to turn them away
because their present accommodations will
not permit them to receive any more.
We bespeak in behalf of these little
children the kindly consideration OF our
readers. There are many, surrounded by
the comfort and good cheer of their own
homes, who are able from their abund-
ance, to give generous contributions TO
this work without feeling 1t In the least.
Money thus expended Is well invested
and pays dividends in lives rescued from
want and, Ii may he. degradation, and
given a fair and honorable start in life.

THE SECRET OF GOOD CROPS.

The modern farmer is not content to use
the antiquatcd tools and methods of his
fathers. In this age of keen competition
the farmer who wishes TO prosper, needs
and gets the most improved farming i'm
plements; and by reading the best agrl-
cultural literature, he keeps in touch with
the spirit of progress that pervades our
farming communities. He Is particular,
also, I'm regard to the kind of seed he plants
and the manner OF planting II. The seeds
must be of highest fertility and grown
from the highest cultivated and most
profitable varieties of stock. The great
seed firm of ID. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit.
Mich. fully appreciate this fact. ms Is at
tested by their progressive business meth
DDS and the quality OF the seed which they
supply farmers and gardeners through the
dealers all over the country The rel-
ability and fertility of their seeds are
proverbial and the largest seed business in
the world has been created by their sale.
In evidence of this firms knowledge of the
wants and requirements of planters, large
and small, is Ferry's Seed Annual for 1896.
This book Is of the greatest value to
farmers and gardeners-a veritable en-
cyclopedia of planting and farming knowl-
edge. 1t contains more useful and practic-
al information than many text books that
are sold for dollar or more. yet 1t will bc
mailed free to any one sending his name
and address on a posta. card to the firm.

he had just left. A little later he found
himself in this city minus his hat, over
