 He returned to Stcckbridge, and rode up to Mr Bidwell's ,fice, that he might see that the horse was in good trim.
 Mir Bidwell came to the door and said: "You have got back. Nathan, at the time you said you would"
 "Yes, sir"

 70 no. You can put the horse in the barn."
 In due time the boy became a man. Osing 10 the lsrgeness of his fathers family, he was thrown upon his own re- sources. He spent some time in Boston; tben lived in New London. and at length found his xay to New York. He had still kept his sheep.
 After the flock became large he divid- ed it into portions. and let them out. to double once in four years.
 Lots were advertised for sale in what was then the upper part of the city. He thought it favorable time to make an investment He had now kept the sheep 40 years. They now nun bered tea hmR- dI'e,3 aad sirty four Thus had his Thanksgiving sheep multiplied more than a. thousand fold He sold theAn. and received the sum of .ffleen hundred aRd aiaety sir dollars. He put more with this. and and purchased ten lots. for which he paid twenty five hundred dollars. These in two years he sold for twelve thousand dollars.
 His attention was called soon after this to the wants of Williams College. He expended between five and six thou sand dollars on building which is call ed Jackson Hall. Afterward he gave the college above twenty thousand dol lars more
 Many generations will rise up to bless the name of Nathan Jackson. By wise- ly saving. and properly investing bis frat dollar, he laid the foundation for N large fortune A portion of this he has so employed that he has been public benefactor.
 Every son of Williams College will bless the man who, though he had only a common school education. has done SD much for the cause which he loves.
