Judge Henry Hilton, for many years
connected with the A. I. Stewart es-
tate, ed ip New York, on the Gath of
August. ''Of mysterious origin, a
mysterious man with mysterious
fortune" is the history of Judge Hill
ton. Where he came from, who he
was, he never revealed, and even his
closest friends could never get from
him the story of his early life. He
began his business life as boy i'll a
/ law office, where he studied law, was
admitted to the bar and became a
| Judge. His wife and Mrs. Stewart
were cousins and he became Mr..
| Stewards law adviser. Upon the
| death of Mr. Stewart he became pro-
prietor of the immense business found
ed by the latter. He failed in this and
Stewards millions melted away, leav-
| ing Judge Hilton only a small COM
petence.
Our growers of hay will be interest
ed in the new method of saving it that
is being praeticed up in Vermont. By
the new process the hay is bailed
green, and as soon as cut. The press
that bales it has pressure of sixty
! pounds to the foot, and the grass is
put up something after the manner of
cotton. Being pressed so firmly to-
| gether, air cannot get in, and for this
reason there is no danger OF mould or
spelling from moisture. If the results
are what they are expected to be, the
present methods Of hay baling will he
revolutionized, and the crop will be
worth twice as much as at present.
Let our Hartford hay balers try the
experiment, being careful to keep out
| the air.-RepubiicGn.

Near Cowdersport, Pc, there is all
''ice mine" In this cave ice is con-
stantly forming in the warmest
weather and huge chunks are hauled
away for domestic purposes. Cold air
coming from crevices at the bottom,
cause the dripping water to form great
icicles around the walls. This strange
ice mine was discovered several years
ago, by man who were prospecting for
gold. About mile from Cowders-
