A Generous Gift.

The citizens OF Clover Valley met
last Thursday night at the hall, Aug.

the object being to acquire legally
the property offered by Mr.. Chas
Lampmau for cemetery, hall and
church. Mr.. Mitchell had been ask
ed to make out articles of incorpora.

the meeting. These articles put the
care OF the property into the hands of
seven trustees, who for the coming
year were elected and are: Mr..
Charles Lampman, Mr.. Abner WISE

ing no direct heirs, after his wife and

dies, library and playthings OF their
only son, together with the valuable
collections the family made while
travelling abroad. In a word Mrs.
Stanford is donating and removing to
the University grounds everything
she can control.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lampdnan's idea is
certainly very noble, and as the years
go on these institutions at Clover
