the Interior shall withhold a certificate from any state or territory of its
appropriation the facts and reasons therefor shall be reported tothe Presi-
dent, and the amount involved shall be kept separate in the Treasury until
the close of the next congress, in order that the state or territory may, if
it should so desire, appeal to congress from the determination of the Sec-
retary of the Interior. If the next congress shall not direct such sum to be
paid, it shall be covered into the Treasury. And the Secretary of the Inte-
rior is here’ y charged with the proper administration of this law.

Sec. 5. That the Secretary of the Interior shall annually report to con-
gress the disbursements which have been made in all the states and territo-
ries, and also whether the appropriation of any state or territory has been
withheld, and if so, the reasons therefor. 6

Sec. 6. Congress may at any time amend, suspend, or repeal any or all
of the provisions of this act.

REGULATIONS OF THE POST OFFICE DEPART-
MENT FOR THE FREE TRANSMISSION IN
THE MAILS OF THE BULLETINS AND RE-
PORTS OF AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS
OF MARCH 2, 1887.

(1) Any claimant of the privilege must apply for authority to exercise it
to the Postmaster-General, stating the date of the establishment of such
station, its proper name or designation, its official organization and the
names of its officers, the name of the university, college, school, or institu-
tion to which it is attached, if any, the legislation of the State or Territory
providing for its establishment, and any other granting it the benefits of
the provision made by congress as aforesaid (accompanied by a copy of
the act or acts), and whether any other such station in the same State or
Territory is considered, or claims to be, also entitled to the privilege; and
also the place of its location and the name of the post-office where the
bulletins and reports will be mailed. The application must be signed by
the officer in charge of the station.

(2) If such application be allowed after examination by the department,
the postmaster of the proper office will be instructed to admit such
bulletins and reports to the mails in compliance with these regulations,
and the officer in charge of the station will be notified thereof.

(3) Paragraph 8, section 419, Postal Laws and Regulations, 1887, is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:

“Only such bulletins or reports as shall have been issued after the
station became entitled to the benefits of the act can be transmitted free,
and such bulletins or reports may be enclosed in envelopes or wrappers,
sealed or unsealed. On the exterior of every envelope, wrapper, or
package must be written or printed the name of the station and place of its
location, the designation of the enclosed bulletin or report, and the word
‘Free’ over the signature or fae simile thereof of the officer in charge of
the station, to be aflixed by himself, or by some one duly deputed by him
for that purpose. There may also be written or printed upon the envelope
or wrapper a request that the postmaster at the office of delivery will
notify the mailing station of the change of address of the addressee, or
other reason for inability to deliver the same, and upon a bulk package a
request to the postmaster to open and distribute the ‘franked’ matter
therein, in accordance with the address thereon.

“Bulletins published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and
analogous to those of the station, and entitled to be mailed free under the
penalty envelope of that department, may also be adopted and mailed by
the several stations with their own publications, under the same regula-
tions, and any bulletins or reports mailable free by any agricultural
experiment station under these regulations may be so mailed by any other
station having free mailing authority.

“Tf such station’s annual reports be printed by state authority, and
consist in part of matter relating to the land-grant college to which such
station is attached, then said report may be mailed free entire by the

ee

35

director of the station; provided, in his judgment, the whole consists of
useful information of an agricultural character.”

The post-office department has recently ruled that “in sending out
bulletins from an agricultural experiment station it is permissible to
inclose postal cards to enable correspondents of the station to acknowledge
the receipt of its publications and to request their continuous trans-
mission.”

(4) The bulletins may be mailed to the stations, newspapers, or persons
to whom they are by the foregoing act authorized to be sent, and the
annual reports to any address within the United States.

RULINGS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT AS
LO pLneEACONSTRUCTION OF THE ACT OF
CONGRESS OF MARCH 2, 1887, ESTABLISH-
ING AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STA-
TIONS.

From copies of letters addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
others by the First Comptroller of the Treasury, relating to the construc-
tion of the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, and acts supplementary
thereto, the following digest has been prepared for the use of the stations.
The sections are those of the act; the dates, those of the decisions by the
Comptroller:

Section 3. January 30, 1888.

That the annual financial statement of the stations, with vouchers, should
not be sent to the Treasury Department, but that a copy simply of the re-
port that is made to the governor is to be sent to the Secretary of the
Treasury.

9

Section 3. January 31, 1888.

First. That the Treasury Department will not require officers of experi-
ment stations to do or perform anything not specifically required by said
bill.

Second. That the Secretary of the Treasury is not required to take a
bond of the officers of said stations for the money paid over under the pro-
visions of said act.

Third. That no reports will be required from the stations directly to the
Secretary of the Treasury; but the governor of the State must send to the

Secretary of the Treasury a copy of the report made to him by the colleges

or stations. a

Section 5. March 4, 1887.

“ Congress only intended by the expression ‘ the sum of fifteen thousand
dollars is hereby appropriated to each state,’ to fix the amount that could
be specially provided for by Congress in appropriations from year to year.
Hence I conclude that section 5 does not make an appropriation; but that
the same must be specially provided for by Congress.”

36

Sections 56 and 6. March 10, 1888.

(1) The appropriations are intended for the fiscal year and not the cal-
endar year.

(2) The first annual report should be made on or before the 1st day of
February, 1889, and said report should include simply the operations of the
preceding fiscal year, not down to and including December 31, but up to
and including June 30, 1888.

(3) The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, the 30th of
June preceding the report, must be accounted for in the report.

(4) The one-fifth proviso for building in section 5 can be made out of the
first annual appropriation, to wit, that which commences on the Ist day of
July, 1887, and terminates on the 30th of June, 1888.

(5) The intention of Congress was to make quarterly payments, not in -

advance, but at the end of each quarter.

Section 5, proviso. March 22, 1888.

“T have been informed that there is no farm connected with the agricul-
tural college in Delaware. The act provides that one fifth of the amount
appropriated can be expended in the creation, enlargement, or repair of a
building or buildings for carrying on the work of the station receiving the
appropriation. I amin doubt whether, with this qualification, out of the
balance of the appropriation a farm could either be purchased or rented.
Another question in my mind is as to the competency of the legislature
which was in session at the date of the passage of the act to accept, as it
assumed to do, of the provisions of the act, the ninth section of which pro-
vides that ‘Payment of such instalments of the appropriation herein made
as shall become due to any State before the adjournment of the regular
session of its legislature meeting next after the passage of this act shall be
made upon the assent of the governor thereof duly certified to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.’ ”

Section 6. April 24, 1888.

At the end of the present fiscal year, to wit, June 30, any portion of the
$15,000 which shall have been received, up to and including the payment
made on the 1st day of July, which is unexpended, or which may not be
necessary to pay claims under contracts made for the benefit of said agri-
cultural station, must be deducted from the next annual a as
specified in said sixth section.

Section 6. August 2, 1888.

The fiscal year commences on the Istiday of July, corresponding with the
fiscal year of the government.

An agricultural station entitled to the benefits of said appropriations
made by Congress can anticipate the payment to be made July 1, and make
contracts of purchases prior to that time, if it shall be necessary to carry
on the work of the station. Of course no portion of said appropriations
paid in quarterly instalments can be drawn from the Treasury unless
needed forthe purposes indicated in the act; and so much of what is so
drawn as may not have been expended within the year must be accounted
for as part of the appropriation for the following year.

Section 8. January 30, 1888.
The State of New York ought to designate whether to the college or to

. 37

the station, or to both, it desires the appropriation to be applied. The
eighth section of the act seems to authorize the State to apply such benefits
to experimental stations it may have established as it desires.

Where there are no experimental stations connected with the colleges,
the legislatures of such States must connect the agricultural experiment
stations with the colleges already established under the act of July 2, 1862;
there is no authority in the act authorizing the establishment of agricul-
tural experiment stations independent of said colleges.

The act contemplates that where stations have already been established
disconnected from the colleges, the legislatures of such States may make
such provisions in regard thereto as they may deem proper; but it does
not authorize the establishment of stations except in connection with the
colleges that were at that time or might thereafter be established under
the act of July 2, 1862.

Section 8. February 14, 1888.

Where there is an agricultural college or station which may have been
established by State authority, and is maintained by the State, the eighth
section of the above act would authorize the State to designate the station
to which it desired the appropriation to be applied,whether to one or more,
or all, and the Secretary of the Treasury should make the payment under
the appropriation to whichever one the State might designate.

Sections 1 and 8. February 15, 1888.

(1) When an agricultural college or station has been established under
the act of July 2, 1862, each college is entitled to the benefits of the provi-
sions of said act (7. e., of March 2, 1887).

(2) Ina State where an agricultural college has been established under
the act of July 2, 1862, and agricultural stations have also been established,
either under the act of July 2, 1862, or by State authority, before March 2,
1887, the legislature of such State may determine which one of said institu-
tions, or how many of them, shall receive the benefits of the act of March
2, 1887.

(3) If the legislature of any State in which an agricultural co lege has
been established under the act of July 2, 1862, desires to establish an agri-
eultural station which shall be entitled to the benefits of said act it must
establish such station in connection with said college.

Proviso to section 1 and section 8. December 7, 1888.

It is within the power of the legislature of any State that has accepted
the provisions of said act of March 2, 1887, to dispose of the amount appro-
priated by Congress for said station to either one or all of the agricultural
colleges or stations which may have been established in said State by vir-
tue of either the provisions of the act of July 2, 1862, or the provisions of
said eighth section of the act of March 2, 1887.

The whole responsibility rests upon the State legislature as to how the
fund appropriated by Congress shall be distributed among these various
institutions of the State, provided there is one or more agricultural col-
leges with which an agricultural station is connected, or one or more agri-
cultural stations.

Section 8. January 28, 1889.

The act of the State of Georgia, in authorizing the governor to receive
the fund to which the State may be entitled under the act of March 2, 1887,

38

is not in conflict with any of the provisions of said act. If a State has es-
tablished an agricultural college or station under the act of July 2, 1862, or
if it has established an agricultural station in connection with said college,
as provided in the eighth section of March 2, 1887, the legislature can
authorize some person or persons to receive the money donated by the
Government, and direct its application in such way and manner as it seems
best to carry out the objects and purposes of said acts of Congress to either
the colleges or the station, or to both.

Section 9. February 4, 1888.

It appears by the statement of Representative Blount that there was a
session of the legislature of the State of Georgia after the passage of the
act, and before the first payment became due, October 1, 1887, and which
did not adjourn until after that time. That being the case, under the pro-
viso of the section, the governor of the State cannot assent to that pay-
ment which was to be made October 1, 1887. The legislature having ad-
journed before the second payment became due, without accepting the
provisions of the bill, no further payment can be made to said State until
the legislature thereof shall have accepted the provisions of the bill. You
will observe the language of the proviso, ‘‘that payments of the instal-
ments of the appropriation herein made as shall become due to any State
before the adjournment of the regular session of its legisJature ’’ applies,
certainly, only to such instalments as become due before the final adjourn-
ment. The idea seems to be to give the legislature the full time before it
adjourns to accept the provisions of the bill or not; but it is plain tomy
mind that only such payments as become due before the adjournment of
the legislature can be accepted by the governor of the State.

LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMP-

An Act to accept the Provisions of the Thompson Will, and to Provide for
the present Disposition of the Funds.

WueEreas, Benjamin Thompson, late of Durham, in this state, died Jan-
uary 30, 1890, leaving a will and codicils thereto, which have been proved,
approved, and allowed by the probate court of the county of Strafford, by
which he devised a large share of his property to the state of New
Hampshire, in trust, for the establishment and maintenance of a school or
college, to be located on his ‘‘Warner farm,’’ in said Durham, wherein
there shall be thoroughly taught, both in the schoolroom and in the field,
the theory and practice of agriculture and other sciences connected there-
with, and wherein there may be taught such other arts and sciences as may
be necessary to enable the state to fully avail itself of the donation of land
made by the act of the congress of the United States, approved July 2, 1862,
entitled, ‘‘An act donating land to the several states and territories which
may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic
arts,” and,

BENJAMIN THOMPSON’S WILL.

In THE NAME OF Gop, AMEN. ys

I, BENJAMIN THOMPSON, Of Durham, in the county of Stratford and State
of New Hampshire, farmer, being in good health, and of a sound and per-
fect mind and memory, but aware of the uncertainty of this life, do make,
publish, and declare this my last will and testament, and herein dispose of
all my worldly estate in manner following, to wit:

ist. I order and direct my executors herein named, to pay all my just
debts and funeral charges as soon as may be after my decease.

2d. I give, devise, and bequeath all my estate, real, personal, and
mixed, of which I may die seized and possessed, wherever situate, to my
native State of New Hampshire forever, in trust, subject, however, to the
provisos, conditions, and limitations hereinafter mentioned and expressed
concerning the same.

The object of this devise being to promote the cause of agriculture, by
establishing at the expiration of twenty years from the time of my decease
an agricultural school, to be located on my Warner farm, so called, and
situated in said Durham, wherein shall be thoroughly taught, both in the
schoolroom and in the field, the theory and practice of that most useful
and honorable calling. The said State is to have and to hold the estate
above devised, upon the express condition that said State shall guarantee
a net annual compound interest of five per cent. upon the amount of the
appraised value thereof for the term of twenty years; after which time the
whole amount of principal and interest thus compounded is to constitute a
fund, the principal of which said State shall guarantee forever to preserve;
and the net annual income thereof is to be expended for maintaining and
continuing said school, and improving said farm and other lands herein
devised, situate in said Durham.

Believing that said fund will be insufficient to erect the necessary build-
ings and furnish the same, to stock said farm, procure the needful appara-
tus, tocommence a library, and sustain said school usefully and honor-
ably; and believing that such an institution rightfully conducted and sus-
tained would confer honor on the whole State, and greatly advance and
improve its agriculture, the leading interest of the State; and knowing no
better way of arousing the attention of the citizens of said State to the
necessity of acquiring such knowledge in this country and in Europe, as
may be useful for rightly managing said school,—I propose and make it a
condition of this bequest that said State of New Hampshire shall raise and
appropriate, by law, annually, for the term of twenty years, the sum of
three thousand dollars, which would be less than one cent a year for each
inhabitant of the State; and also upon the further condition that said State
shall guarantee a net annual compound interest of five per cent. on the
twenty sums of three thousand dollars each, thus required to be raised;
and at the expiration of twenty yearsfrom the time of my decease, the
principal and interest thus compounded is to constitute a fund, out of
which the amount necessary to erect suitable buildings and to furnish the
same, to stock said farm, procure apparatus, and commence a library,
shall be expended; and the interest of the State fund thus reduced, and
net annual income of the fund constituted according to the express terms

51

and conditions of the bequests which I have hereinbefore made, shall be
expended under the direction and supervision of said State, for the pur-
pose of maintaining and continuing said school, and improving said farm
and all other lands situate in said Durham; and as the fund last named is
partly composed of my real estate,—my meaning is, that the net annual
income of all my real estate herein bequeathed is also to be expended at
the same time, in the same manner, and for the same purpose above set
forth; and it is made a further condition of this bequest, that no part of
said Warner farm and other lands herein devised, situate in said Durham,

-shall ever be sold, conveyed, leased, or alienated by said State of New
Hampshire, or diverted from the purpose above set forth, of establishing,
endowing, and continuing said state agricultural school.

f the state of New Hampshire does not accept said trust upon the terms
and conditions herein set forth, within two years from the time of my
decease, or, accepting the same, shall fail to comply with the terms and
conditions thereof, then, and in such case, this devise to said state shall
become ani be null and void.

_ 8d. If the State of New Hampshire does not accept said trust upon the
conditions herein set forth, within two years from the time of my decease,
or if the foregoing devise to said state shall become null and void by
reason of the failure of said State to comply with the terms and conditions
thereof, then, and in such case, I give, devise, and bequeath ali of my said
estate to the State of Massachusetts, upon the same terms and conditions as
herein required of the State of New Hampshire; excepting that forbidding
the sale of my land in Durham, and requiring said schoolic be located in
said Durham, and limiting the time of accepting said trust to two years
from the time of my decease; the State of Massachusetts being at liberty to
sell all my lands and to locate the school wherever its legislature shall
deem it most for the advantage of said State of Massachusetts; and said
State of Massachusetts may have four years from the time of my decease,
within which to accept said trast upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth thus modified.

4th. If the State which accepts the trust upon the conditions herein set
forth should desire to establish said school at any time before the expira-
tion of twenty years from the time of my decease, then, and in such case,
my will is that said State may thus do, provided said State shall, before
using any of either of the funds herein set forth, raise and set apart such
sums of money as will make said funds equal in amount to what said funds
would become, if accumulated during twenty years according to the terms
and conditions herein set forth.

i hope that the citizens of my native town and county, and of the county
of Rockingham, will manifest such liberality as will induce my native State
to accept said trust upon the conditions herein set forth.

It might seem presumptuous in me to attempt to devise any plan for the
ordering and management of such an institution as is contemplated by this
will, and which will probably go into operation at a time so remote, when
doubtiess there will be great advancement in the knowledge of agricul-
ture; so I leave this duty to the wisdom of the State, through its legislature,
only claiming to make the suggestions following: Morality, order, in-
dustry, and economy should be constantly taught and practiced by all the
teachers and by all the scholars. Teachers, scholars, and laborers should
be required to meet each morning in the chapel for the reading of the
Scriptures and for prayer.

Cr
to

No scholar should be admitted to the school under sixteen years of age.

Every scholar should be required to labor on the land four hours of each
working day, when practicable.

Horticulture should receive its due share of attention.

The chemistry of agriculture, and physiology, and other sciences, so far
as they are connected with agriculture, should be taught; but no professor
should be selected unless he is also distinguished for his knowledge of
scientific and practical agriculture.

The theories taught should, as far as practicable, be tested by experi-
ments on the farm; and all experiments, together with the cost and results
thereof, should be published and sold to the citizens of the State an] the
United States, at the cost of publication.

There should be one vacation each year from December first to April first.

I would also suggest the propriety of applying to the Congress of the
United States for a grant of land in aid of this object; and in other ways to
seek contributions to promote the usefulness and extend the advantages
of said school; and I believe that when the vast benefit to be derived from
such teaching shall be practically demonstrated, similar schools will be
multiplied in every state of this great confederacy, their unbounded agri-
eultural resources will be developed, the national wealth and power in-
ereased, the happiness of man, the honor of God, and the love of Christ
promoted, and the way be in some degree prepared for the time when “ He
shall judge the nations and shal] rebuke many people, and they shall beat
their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks; na-
tion shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more.”

Lastly, Ido hereby nominate and appoint William P. Frost and Stephen
Demeritt of said Durham, and John 8. Woodman and Henry W. Pickering
of the city of Boston and State of Massachusetts, executors of this my last
will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twelfth
day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
fifty-six.

(Signed) BENJAMIN THOMPSON. [t.s.]

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Benjamin Thompson,
as and for his last will and testament, in presence of us, who, at his
request, in his presence and inthe presence of each other, have subseribed

our names as witnesses thereto.

WHereas, I, Benjamin Thompson, of the town of Durham, in the State
of New Hampshire, having made and duly executed my last will and testa-
ment in writing, and bearing date the twelfth (12th) day of February, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six.

AND WHEREAS, Since the date of my said will the Congress of the United
States, having passed an act making a grant of lands to the various States
of the Union, to endow colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the
mechanic arts, entitled, “An act donating land to the several states and
territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and
the mechanic arts.’”?” Approved July 2, 1862.

AnbD WHEREAS, The said act provides a fund for the same purposes in
part as does my said last will and testament, and my desire is to add to
and increase said fund for the purposes named.

Now, THEREFORE, I do hereby declare this present writing to be as a
eodicil to my said will, and direct the same to be annexed thereto, and be
taken as a part thereof.

My object being mainly to promote the improvement of agriculture,
though willing that the college to be established should also provide for
the mechanic arts, it is my will that the institution to be established by the

_ State, which shall by due acceptance of the terms upon which my bequest

is made and agreement therewith, shall be called and designated College
of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, with the name of the State which
shall become entitled under my said will to the property bequeathed
therein, prefixed, as, for instance, The New Hampshire College of Agri-
eulture and the Mechanic Arts, if that shall be the wish of the State; and,
that in addition to the in truction to be given therein, as provided by my
said will, there shall be taught only such other arts or sciences as may be
necessary to enable said State to fully avail itself of said donation of lands
by the government in good faith, which two branches of ins ruction shall
be the leading objects of said institution or college.

If both the said States named in my will shall fail to accept my bequest
within the time limited therein, then, and in that case, I give, devise, and
bequeath all my said estate to the State of Michigan, upon the same trusts,
terms, and conditions as I have in my will required of the State of Massa-
chusetts; and I give to my executors authority in the mean time to enter
upon and take charge of, and have the care of my estate, and to hold and
preserve the same until one or the o her of the said states shall have ac-
cepted the terms of this will and become entitled to the bequests herein
made.

And it shall be the duty of my executors, herein named, whenever this
will shall become operative, to communicate the same to the governors of
New Hampshire, Massachu -etts, and Michigan, in the order in which each
shall become entitled to accept the said term: and bequests, and as soon
as each shall become entitled by the terms hereof.

And { authorize ani direct my said executors, and give them full power
to make and enter into such stipulations, and require such guarantees of
the State which shall accept as will secure the objects which are intended
to be secured by my said will and this codicil, before my said estate shall
b+ turned over to and become the property of said State.

Ivrem. I hereby modify my bequest made in my said will, so far as the fol-
lowing legacies are concerned, which will be and are hereby reserved from
the said general bequest of my estate, viz.: I give twelve (12) shares in
the Boston & Maine Railroad Company to the CoNGREGATIONAL SOCIETY IN
DuRuHAM, in trust, and upon the condition that the said shares shall forever
be kept as a fund by said society and the annual income thereof be used
for the improvement of sacred music in said society.

IT aiso give ten (10) shares in the Suffolk National Bank, Boston, to Lu-
ceTTA M. Dayis, my housekeeper, as a testimonial of my respect and
esteem for her character, and of the consideration in which I hold her ser-
vices in my house; and in case the said Lucetta M. Davis continues to be
my housekeeper at the time of my decease, then, and in that case, I give
to the said Lucetta M. Davis, in addition thereto ten (10) shares more in
the same bank.

54

I give also one hundred dollars to Asa A. Turts, cashier of the Strafford
National Bank, Dover, as a slight testimonial of my regard and esteem.

I give two hundred dollars to Benjamin D. HILL, of Durham, New Hamp-
shire.

I annul the appointment of executors heretofore named, and al! former
codicils, and appoint the following named persons to be the executors of
my said will, with the usual authority as such, viz.; James F. Joy, of De-
troit, Michigan, and Joshua B. Smith, of Durham, New Hampshire.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty-
first (21st) day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun-
dred and seventy-four.

(Signed) BENJAMIN THOMPSON. [z. s.]

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Benjamin Thompson,
as a codicil to his last will and testament, in presence of us, who, at his
request, in his presence and in presence of each other, have subscribed
our names-az witnesses thereto.

(Signed) WILLIAM P. SYLVESTER.
FRANK A. J. SYLVESTER.
LEVI CRAM.
SECOND CODICIL.

Having required in my will that the State which should become entitled
to the bequest therein made should guarantee a net annual compound
interest of five (5) per cent. upon the appraised value of my Warner farm,
so called, and all my other lands and buildings situated in Durham, and
mentioned in my said will and testament, for the term of twenty (20) years
after my decease, as one of the conditions upon which it should become
entitled, and being doubtful whether this condition may not constitute an
obstacle in the way of the acceptance of my said bequests by my native
State, and possibly the others in succession. Therefore it is my declared
will that it shall be competent for my executors named in and by my said
will, or any codicil thereto, to waive the said condition, in case that shall
be the sole obstacle in the acceptance of the said bequests, but with the
hope that the waiver of said condition may not be found necessary, and
with the declared will that it shall stand as a condition, unless by them
waived for the purpose of carrying into effect the object and purpose of
my said last will and testament.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this fifteenth
day of March, A. D. 1875.

(Signed) BENJAMIN THOMPSON. [t.s.]

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Benjamin Thompson,
as a second codicil to his last will and testament, in presence of us, who,
at his request, in his presence and in presence of each other, have sub-
scribed our names as witnesses thereto.

(Signed) LEVI CRAM.
JOHN McDANIBL.
JAMES F. GRIFFIN.
THIRD CopDIcIL.

I, Benjamin Thompson, do make this, the third codicil, to become a part
of my last will and testament, in view of the lower rates of interest which
now prevail than at the time my said will and former codicils were made,
and do provide and declare that the rate of interest provided in my said

. a5

will, to be compounded for twenty years, shall be reduced to four per cent.
eompounded for the same length of time, in case my bequests and the
terms of my :aid will be accepted and complied with by either of my leg-
atees.

And I further waive, in favor of my native State of New Hampshire, all
the interest on the valuation of my real esta e, situated in the town of Dur-
ham, in case it shall accept the bequests made in my said will, and upon
the terms made in it and the codicils.

In addition to the bequests made in my will and former codicils, to my
housekeeper, L. M. Davis, I give and bequeath to her all my household
furniture and wearing apparel, which I value at about a thousand dollars,
as a testimony both of my regard and of my appreciation of her long and
faithful services.

I hereby constitute and appoint as one of the executors of my said will,
instead of J. B. Smith, whose appointment Irevoke and annul, John W. E.
Thompson, to act as such with J. F. Joy, giving them all the usual author-
ity in such cases, as if they had been named originally in my said will as
the executors thereof.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty-
first day of January, A. D. 1882.

(Signed) BENJAMIN THOMPSON. [L.s.]

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Benjamin Thompson,
as a codicil to his last will and testament, in presence of us, who, at his
request, in his presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed
our names as witnesses thereto.
