JERSEYS AT AUCTION.
Important Sale at the c. /. Hood
Farm in Andoyer.

LOWELL, Mass, May II stock raisers
and milk producers from all over New Eng
land made up a large company, who
gathered before the auction stand OfJ. +.
Conant Il Co., ut c. l. Hoods stock farm,
about three miles from this city, on the Oc-
casion of the owners first annual sale.
The larger proportion of the animals sold
were the product of the Hood farm herd,
mostly young stock therefore. but as was gen
orally agreed, 10y the old stock raisers pres
ent, stock with some OF the best promise
ever sold, destined to bring fresh laurels to
this herd. and added renOwn to the great
breed which bears the name of Jersey. The
stock. beside being handsome. well framed
and in fine condition, gave evidence OF being
perfectly healthy and hardy.
Although the stables may be heated when
necessary, yet it was customary to keep the
young stock and bulls in sheds having south
ern exposure, with doors and windows open
all winter. and further elements of health
fulness are added in the elevated situation
of the farm, with perfect drainage, Ventila-
tion and light, and pure, fresh spring water.
The entire premises are lighted electrically
Thus the stock today sold came under the
hammer in everyday condition, but the best
condition that a connOisseur could desire.
Murmurs of admiration greeted each ami
nal as 1t was brought up and its points rap
idly gone over. Following are some OF the
sales. purchasers and prices: Tonnage, CO.

SEVERE CONFEDERATION.
$4,000 Worth of Property Goes Up
in Smoke in Durham, n. III.

DURHAM, y. H., May S-This quiet, staid
old town was visited by the worst contiagra-
tion in its history last Friday morning. The
old Oyster River hotel, two-story brick
structure. and which for the past sixty wears
has been familiar landmark, was com
pletely guttet by the fierce. flames. and
only part Of the walls are standing. Besides
this livery stable, two wooden tenements
the lower floors of wnich were fitted up for
stores are entirely destroyed, not a piece of
timber escaping the fiery elements. The
loss is estimated from $4,000 to 800, 900.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. 1t
started at $50 in the livery stable of James
w. Burnham. The flames were discovered
by Mr.. Burnham in the loft of the barn. The
alarm was quickly sounded, and the village
people turned out and did all they could to
check the fire, but it was useless.
Shortly after the fire started. word was
sent to Dover or assistance. and Cocheco
Engine company arrived in about an hour,
and after about two hours the flames were
subdued.
The hotel was unOccupied. 1t was a sub
stantial brick structure and is a complete
loss. This as well as the stable was owned
by James W. Burnham. The stable was oc-
cupied by Mr.. Burnham. He had sixteen
horses, wagons and large quantity of hay
and grain in the barn One horse, one
wagon and the hay and grain were burned.
The balance of the contents of the barn were
saved Mr. Rurnhnm is the heaviest loser.
His loss amounts to about $12 900 on which
he had an insurance of 81 .0O0
The two other burned buildings belonged
to Georges S. and Margaret and Anna Frost
of Dover The first floor of the buildings
were fitted up as stores, while the upper
parts were utilized as tenements. Only one
of them was occupied. This was by the
family of Mr. &. Il. Chamberlen. Their
goods were removed to place of safety
consequently their loss is small.

Interstate emigration still con-
tinues to u considerable extent, and
there is a constant movement of dis
satisfied farmers from one region to
another. During a recent week forty
families moved from the country about
Delphi, Ind, out to North Dakota.
At the same time families were moving
from North Dakota to the South, and
the Northwestern papers print fre-
quently paragraphs telling of persons
leaving that region and of other per-
sons moving there. The circumstances
appear odd, but they seem, to the
New York Sun, only to show that no
one place is everybody's paradise,
despite the eloquence of the land
boomers.

NASHUA RIVER AQUEDUCT.
Fine Bridge to Span Woods Mill
Pond at NOrthboro, Mass.

BOSTON May Members Of the engi-
neering force OF the Metropolitan water
board have designed beautiful bridge to
be known as the Assabet river bridge. which
will span Woods mill pond in the town of
Northboro and carry the Nashua river aque-
duct over the pond. When the engineers be-
gan to make their plans for the aqueduct,
and had reached this point, they found that
they would have to build bridge or con-
struct a syphon. After much study and con-
sutation it was decided to build the bridge
and engineer Stearns delegated one of his
nhlast nnain aars ta design one
A dozen or more sketches were made for
the consideration of the commissioners. one
of which was accepted, The bridge will be
329 feet long and 1915 feet wide. There will
be seven arches with span of 20 feet 6

Massachusetts, Leadership.

The Massachusetts Legislature has
been the target for much criticism on
account of its dilatory methods
Neighboring states have been pleased
to make sport of its six months ses-
sion. But when it comes to progress
sive legislation Massachusetts stands
re-eminent among her sister states,
who recognize that behind the Bull
finch front on Beacon hill are framed
laws that become the model for New
England Legislators. An illustration
in point is the adoption by Rhode
island of an habitual criminal act
modelled on the Massachusetts, law.
The measure provides for adequate
punishment of the vicious and hard
ened criminals, aud also tends to cause
the migration of criminals to states
where the laws for their restraint are
ess rigorous.

The Springfield Republican has the
following interesting editorial para
graph: The New York society for
improving the condition of the poor
recently instituted an exhaustive in
quiry at large cost into the causes of
the depression of the farming inter-
ests in New York State. Mr.. Kjei-
gard, an intelligent Pennsylvania
farmer, was employed to travel
through such agricultural districts as
he could reach during the summer
months, in order to gather accurate
information by personal inquiry. At
the same time George I. Powell, of
Ghent, Columbia County, undertook
to pursue the same lines of investiga.
ton by correspondence. The result
is summed up in the statements that
farming land had deprecated at an av-
erage of some forty-eight per cent. !;
that thirty per cent. OF the farmers
are anxious to leave their farms and
would drift into the cities if they only
knew how to get work there; and that
eighty-si per cent. of the farmers re-
port that their children, as they grow
up, cannot be induced to remain on
the farms; that tenant farming IS on
the increase that thirty-five per cent.
of the New York farmers are losing
money; fifty per cent. dangerously
near it; fourteen per cent are making
a profit, and twenty per cent. don't
know whether they are or not. 1t was
found that in the vicinity of Cornell
University and wherever else Govern
ment agricultural experiment stations
or AGRICULTURAL schools exist the con-
dition of the farmers was much better.
Ignorance of scientific methods and
carelessness are the greatest draw
backs.

General Neyler has sought to take advau-

ing the case, and Caspani being the lowest
bidder, the contract was awarded him.
