Clark hands the News a copy of a newspaper published at Pottsdam, New York, which contains some advertisements of farm lands for sale in Vermont, which are high ly interesting to western readers for the reason that they afford a striking comparison of values in the east with present farm values in this section.

Price for this property, where the sugar bush alone can pay for it in time. $3,000, $2,000 cash and $1,000 on easy terms.

She is able to converse with the old time fluency, read her bible. sing her old songs and laughs with her old-time gladsomeness. Though past the 84th milestone she seems to have dropped ten years of life, and the flush of health has again mounted to cheek and brow.
