stroyed field of wheat she and her
husband, the late Thomas Russ, had
taken great pains to cultivate and
weed out-a pathetic tale. a..
The following from the Springfield
Republican of the 18th inst. contains
a little more information than was
handed us for publication in The Press
last week -
The past winter has generally been
considered pretty poor one for poul.
trymeD depending on egg production
for an income, but an exception must
be made in the case of George A. Cos
grove, whose home is on q hilltop
farm in Wilmington, Ct., just south of
Stafford Springs. In private letter
to friend in this city, under date of
February 30, he writes: Our hens
have done splendidly this winter,
laying $500 eggs in December, 1858 in
January and 1864 in February to date.
We have about 400 White Wyandottes.
One pen of 40 pullets laid SO eggs one
day and 81 another day last week,
being 80 and 9ss. per cent. Of their
whole number. The whole flock pro-
duced 1896 eggs last week. We ship
80 dozen a week to Worcester, and for
the last month my weekly check has
been $50. 40 (S6 cents per dozen). AS
the feed costs about $12, it leaves q
net profit Of $40 week. This is for
about three hours work day. This
has been an awfully cold and hard
winter, but my hens do not seem to
mind it much, although they have
only seen the ground once or twice
since last fall.

e.3--That we confirm the statement
that Japan has not entered the present
struggle for ACKNOWLEDGMENT or con-
quest, but has been forced into 1t for
the security Of Europe, for the perma-
nent peace Of the east and for the pro.
gress of that beneficant and enlightened
civilization which Japan has imbihed
from the nations of the west and which
she has made her own.
That, in this struggle, standing
as we do for principles which we be-
lieve are identical with those cherished
by all enlightened nations, we look to
the people of the United States for that
sympathy which we believe our cause
deserves. And especially do we turn
to the colleges and universities Of
America which have given to so many
of us socordia1 d welcome and to whose
teachers, alumni and students many Of
us are bound by ties of gratitude and
friendship. u.

his Little PoeketDook and Almana

His Little Pocketbook and Almanac
Sold for a Large Sum.
What an irony Of fate there Is in the
fact that the torn, shabby little pock-
etbook and almanac that was found
lying upon the bed beside the starved
and self-slain boy-poet chatterton
should now be bought by a Bristol
plutoerat and be presented to that city
as treasure Of costly value! But 1t is
well for this city. which has been so
criticised for her love Of the material,
that she should now have among her
children one who, if wealthy. yet can
grasp the worth of the intellectual,
says a writer In the Pail Mall Gazette.
The gift by Mr.. George White TO the
Bristol Museum of Chatterton's manu-
scripts and relics is one that will draw
many to the old city that now recog-
nizes what genius she drove from her
little pocketbook, that is really an al
manae,. with space for notes and ac-
counts, is all stained on one side with
a brown-hued blotch, that has eaten in
to the paper; is it some of the poison
the poor lad split ere taking the fatal
draught? It is apparently a strong
acid. The entries in this pocketbook
are full of pathos; lists Of the articles
he had sent to certain papers, and the
money received. An entry of due
from others, s1O 17s.6d." speaks VOL
umes. and against this is Lent Is 3D."
From Mr.. Hamilton he received 81
1ls.6d., and here again is Lent 2s.''-a
trait Of generosity in the poverty
stricken lad hitherto unnoticed The
Original Account of the Family Of the
De Berghams from the Norman Con-
quest to the Present Time is here,
with all the wondrous pedigree with
which he fooled the conceited pewterer.
This is in two copybooks, in the old
antique marble covers Of the time.
There is also long poem on The
Death of Sir Charles Baudin,' In the
boys neat, careful hand. And q curl
Gus poem, with a glossary, The Goal-
|er's Requiem, Coulter being a usurer
or miser The whole collection Is deep
ly interesting, and as pendant is the
receipt of Chatterton's sister to Cot
tie for af35 1ss. for books sold by
ILong-mans for her benefit. AS the
Bristol Museum already possesses
|Chattertonis will and many Of his
manuscript poems and letters it now
holds what few cities can boast of; a
fairly complete memorial, in his own
hand, of one Of her most famous sons.
