The angels came in her daiken'd room,
And waved their wings around

perhaps, in the latter, and all towns in Chittea-
den, Orleans, Windsor and Addison Counties,
within so miles of Montpeller,-and to all other
towns in VT for 40, instead of SO cts. per year,
as heretofore.
This will be great relief to US, as we now
pay nearly $50 per year for transportation; for
though our terms expressly require the pay
