Vermont WinterS.-For the particular infor
nation and satisfaction of all such as have
heard of Vermont winters and blessed their
stars that they were not born in the NEW
states" as for instance our distant neighbors in
the Southern States of Massachusetts, Connec
ticut and Rhode Island, we would mention, that
we have now had just two months OF good
sleghing this winter. We do not call the wea-
Their very severe; but except within four or five
days past, the snow has been able to hold its
own,n including frequent additions from day to
day. Now if any ofthe southern people referred
to think it a kind office to compassionate our
case they are greatly mistaken. we have plen-
ty to eat, drink and wear, good houses to shell
ter us, fine horses to drag us C over the hills and
far away" and hardy frames notmerely to en-
dure but to enjoy the roughnes Of the winters
embrace, Business is lively, roads well trodden
and so far are we from retiring into dens and
caves, as some peradventure have supposed, for
safety and indolent comfort, we believe that
there is no country in the wide world where the
people are more wide awake than are the Yer
monters in hard winter.-Brattleboro'p paper.

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks~
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as person be.
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
set He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years ofage, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about FIVE feet ten or eleven in.
ches high; has drawing manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was
blue cloth cap, grey great coat and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot OF white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre OF
the forehead, not covering more than the size OF
-pence-halfpenny She is, as well as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markably long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone Of her eyes
an incison which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery Of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. IAYLOE LOMAX.
