Fate of "Luther."
(Continued from Page One)
State shall please to name and appoint; and as the aim of this my last will and testament is, to raise useful citizens, I do hereby humbly request the Honorable Legislature that in the above case they may be pleased to incorporate such trustees as they shall think proper to appoint, under such clauses and regulations as in their great wisdom shall seem meet; and for the same reason of intending to raise useful citizens to the State many whereof would without such an institution be a nuisance. I beg the Honorable Legislature graciously pleased to keep the institution under their fatherly protection.
"It is further my will, that wherever the yearly income of the estate by me bequeathed and devised, shall be adequate to it, such children as shall have completed their education at the farm school provided they have not resided there a less time than five years, and behaved to the satisfaction of the trustees during their residence shall receive such gratification in cattle from the trustees, as in their judgment they shall think expedient."
