Oney Hawkins has some excellent land
and has put good buildings on IL; Mar
ceIlus Way has shown how a man on a
good river farm in Barton can grow COM
paratively rich at farming. The Goodenow
farm has always been noted for its excel
lence. The Hall place, always well carried
on, is very productive and has been profit
able. The Simpson farm produces farm
crops and brick, having bricly-yard near
the buildings. The interval land owned
by Mr.. Bartlett and others, north OF the
Landing, is very fertile and profitable.
South of this village, there are the Brown
and John Heating places that average with
the town in worth, productiveness and
size. In the center section there are the
Leland places, the Colby places ON good
ridge of land. c. w. Smith owns the old
Lyndon Robinson place once one ofthe best
in town. c. N. Farley and Henry Dudley
are pleasantly situated, and have all the
comforts of farm life. The surround
ing world depends largely on them for a
taste of fine maple sugar every spring.
On the hill road north of the village, VIM.
Teller, on the old Salisbury place, has one
of the largest barns I'm the county, which
The Geo. -Robinson-place, and
the Geo. III. Burnham-Vance-p have
been long noted foI their hay crops. Mil
ton Heaths, Geo. w. Clarll's and the
Bartlett-Basset places are each good
upland farms and are well carried ON.
Carl Leland, recently deceased, ran a
large and productive stock farm many
years, which his son Henry is now run
ming. In the ''mountain" section the land
is remarkably good, with perhaps, the
best pastures in town. Among some OF
the places which deserve a mention here
are the old Alonzo McNeal, the VIM. Will
son, the Deacon Hitchcock, the Martin
Cass, the Ed. Grow, and the larger farm
known as the j. G. Gray place. On the
east side are the Emerson, the Pierce, the
Woodward. the Trip, the George and
Harry Fisk, the Robinson, the Comstock,
the Devereaux, and the Hunt farms. IL
would be difficult in one neighborhood TO
find in one locality as many good farms,
all as well run as these. John Barnard Is
making the wilderness blossom In his To-
cality, and demonstrates what a little
eave-spout pin money will do for farm
er. There is a highland section in the
May Pond vicinity where the Valleys, 10.
Paquet, and judah Brooks and others
have cleared up some good farms and
erected nice buildings. Mrs. j. Il. Skinner
has pleasant situation and a productive
farm just east of the village, some OF IL
suited to good building lots for the city.
Many of the citizens in the villages have
spare acres devoted to farming.

sugar place and a large pasture. 1t is the
intention to make it a milk farm for the
supply of the village, a large part of the
milk already being delivered here. The
milk is good and its reputation such that
the farm will soon control the local
market. The Lewis boys were born

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE.
Work the Xaverian Brothers Are
Doing i'm That Institution.

Doing in That Institution.
The advent OF the Xaverian Brothers
to st Thomas college supplies want
that was long felt in Scranton-namCly
the union Of a thorough busina7s edu-
cation with the classics and sciences.
There are institutions Al our city where
a good business or good classical. or
even a good scientific education might
be obtained; but no one where all three
are combined.
Xaverian Brothers have achieved
great success in their schools which are
chiefly devoted to preparing young men
for the professions and for the business
walks of life. One of the most sue
cessful teachers i'm the Nav ian order
is Brother Angelus. at present director
of studies at St. Thomas. Pupils
taught by his in other cities have at
tained highest honOrs in civil service
and competitive examinations. Stude:ts
entering st. Thomas will receive COM
plete instruction in commercial &C
counts. book keeping, type writing and
short hand. The system of short t-hand
taught by the brothers is the celebrat-
ed Pernin system lately adopted at the
high school at Harrisburg, Pa, and in
the public schools Of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Writers in this system have no difficult
ty in reading their own notes even
years after they were written: they
will Also read one another's notes with
so much ease as III these Were written
in long hand.
Pupils taking the full business course
at St. Thomas college will be certain
to become expert in shorthand and
type-writing. But the business course
does not include these two branches
merely. but also the complete bound of
comprehensive English education
from English grammar and compost
tions to English rhetoric and English

HORSE WALKED UPSTAIRS.
Unusual Feat Of One Of the Century
COmDany's Animals.

One of those big. brawny horses used
by the fire department walked up a
flight of stairs at the Century Hose
house during the early hours of yester-
day morning and aroused the perman-
ent man. Joseph Heipman. who was
asleep.
Ii was a most unusual incident. The
horse had been furnished to the COM
pany on trial by Frank Cobb and is a
fine specimen of its kind. During the
morning it broke through its fastenings
and walked around downstairs for a
time. Seeing an open doorway the
animal made for it and then began the
march upstairs. The permanent man
heard the heavy footballs. When he
opened the upstairs door the horses
head greeted him. A little difficulty
was had in getting the animal back.
