IngtOn.

President Tyler had a deep and
abiding love for the good Amer,

Thomas Jefferson sought relief
from the cares of state in his love
for music. He was II clever per-
former on the violin and whiled
away many hours saving away on
his beloved fiddle He had taste
for mechanical inventions, too, and
some Of his happiest moments were
those spent in trying to evolve
some labor saving device. History

success to HIM in this line, but as
his mechanical knowledge was the
means OF creating the Patent Office
it was productive of some good.
Andrew Jackson had Il form of
amusement which 1t would not be
wise for President Mckinley to ad-
opt. Old Hickory was passionate
ly fond Of cock fighting, and when
he left Hermitage to run the nation
at Washington he brought with
him two of his finest fighting cocks.
These he matched against the
gamest roosters in the surrounding

made hut feeble showing against
the Virginia breed. President
Jackson brought on several other
pairs, but his birds invariably met
defeat, and IN this respect he said
that his administration was a lam
failure.

"reminiscences Of an Old Resident.
READsBoRo, Vt. Feb. 1st. 1897.

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t is thirty years to-day since came,
with my family, to Bradford to reside
and the occasion and a reminiscent mood,
have led me to think over the changes
which have taken place there in that
| time.
OF course thirty years constitute long
period in ones life; and only those who
reached the allotted three score and ten
years." can realize how swiftly they have
passed. AS one of this class, nothing in
connection with the history of your viii
lage has made so great an impression ON
my mind, as the mortuary list of the male
adults who have lived there in the period
alluded to- The record was commenced
when serving as clerk of District No. 2;
and is made up largely from memory.
During the last six years, have been alb
sent, and am indebted to the OPINION
and my correspondence for information
in completing it to date.
The first death that occurred there af-
ter we came, " as that of a Mr. Fleming,
a son of the aged AlOnzo Fleming, who
recently died in NewburY. The latter's
mother was a sister of the mothers of my
first two wives, who ale buried in the
cemetery on the upper plain
Several of the names, among the fol-
/ lowing, may be those who were domiciled
1 outside the limits of the corporation, but
in those instances, they were so clearly

number of the same name who have died
in the thirty years, are as. follows: Ste

Letters to Bradford People.
Mr.. E. H. NYE,

Mr.. E. H. NYE,
Dear Sir:
One of the things which you gro
GERS must contend in introducing our
Harmless soap is the price.
Most people think soap is a thing
they ought to buy cheap. They think
low priced soaps are economical, and
high priced are extravagant. Never
was the truth more completely turned
around. The soap that costs most by
the pound costs less by the year for
two reasons:
First reason: They wont use so
many pounds of it.
Second reason: 1t won't rot clothes.
To convince customers that a high
priced soap costs no more than lower
priced, you may sell Harmless. on a
positive guarantee that one bar Sc
will outwash two sc. cakes. If they
say it doesn't, give them back &c. on
each bar and charge to us.
Yours truly,

The i.iv. stock Indu.try.
Michigan.

Chicago Feb. 2.-The annual inves-
tication of The Orange Judd Farmer
announces that the turning point in
the long and serious depression of the
live stock industry has been passed.
Between 1898 and 1896 the depression in
this form of rural wealth amounted to
1928 .OOO. 900 or 25 per cent, but the returns
this year, for the first time since the de-
cline began, show an increase in aggre-
gate value during the u months. The
net gain is s27, ,OOO, 900. the total vaue of
all classes of farm animals being 81, $751;
COO. But for a further decline in value
of horses, the showing for the year
would have been much more gratifying.
