nuntlng.on,s Es,.ts 500. $50. 900.

The estate of the late Coils P. Hunting
ton, president of the Southern Pacific rail
road company is valued at $3.50, 600.
The will bequeaths $4,000 in cash, the
palace and pictures in New York, to the
widow, and divides the residue equally be-
tween Mrs. G. p Huntington and H. f.
Huntington. The latter lnherits, conse-
quently, about $40, 100000. Onethird of

So, 900, 900, forms the largest item of that
inheritance. Princess Hatzfeldt's legacy of
81 100000 is generous. Her dot at her
marriage was $780, 900 in five per cent
bonds, and her gifts from her adopted
father in ten years amounted to 81 900, 600
The amount, relatively small, that Willard
V. Huntington receives-S50, 000-has its
explanation in the fact that he disliked the
trade of railroading and abandoned it after
a trial of two years in San Francisco. At
his marriage he received, like his brother,
II. L. Huntington, gift of $3.50, 900 from
Mr.. Huntington.

Vermont Peaches.

1t has been a question for years in some
Vermont towns whether apples could be
grown. Peaches have hardly been thought
of anywhere in the state except by few
enthusiasts. Nevertheless there have
been instances, rather frequent of late
years, in which good peaches have been
grown and ripened out of doors in Yer
mont. The horticulturist of the Expert
ment Station sends out information Of
considerable peach crops grown in various
parts of the state this year. Last winter
is said to have been especially favorable !;
but the station horticulturist thinks 1t
practicable to grow peaches and get good
crops fairly often in the milder localities
of the state. The peach can never be a
staple crop, but it can be grown in we'll
cared for home gardens with sufficient sue
cess to satisfy any farmer who is at all in
clned to gardening. There is also a re-
port of one successful crop of apricots
grown in a Burlington garden.
