The PoTAroE CRoP IN VERMoNr.-Mr Greeley
Mistaken. The New York Tribune in an arti-
Gle on the deficiency of crops, says:
I" If potatoes are plenty anywhere, we beg
that the fact may be made known. They are
good nowhere
We would inform Mr.. Greeley that potatoes
are plenty enough in this section of Vermont.
There are not only as many bushels raised as last
year, but they are of much better quality.
And through the State generally, we learn, that
the crop is considered rs good, five except year
before last, as any we have had for the last six
or eight years. Indeed, there is no ESSENTIAL de-
iency in any of the crops in Vermont, except
corn, which may be fourth less, and apples,
which are probably half less than usual The
greatest injury from drouth in this. State will be
in pasturage.
The GREEN AND YELLOW ScoURoE.-The Chol-
era and Yellow Fever, those two modern plAgles,
that seem to be taking their place among the
almost annual epidencs Of the West and South.
are still visiting certain localities with terrible
virulence. More than 500 persons had persisted
by the Cholera in Pittsbarg up to the 22d INST,
although the disease had been there but little
more than week. On the 18th Of September,
the deaths reached the appalling number Of 20.
In Charleston, s. G., l27 died of the same dis
ease. In Savannah and New Orleans the yell
low Fever is spreading with fearful mortality.
ADDISON COUNTY FAR-This old and wealthy
agricultural County, over whose. almost every
square mile we, in our college life, wandered,
and but to admire its general fertility, and then
advanced state of cultivation, will hold its
Eleventh Annual Fair, at Middlebury, on
Wednesday and Thursday, the 4th and 9Th of
October ensuing The address is to be by Prof.
j. A. Nash, Of Amherst, Mass. A good fair,
and good address, may be very safely pre-
dicted.
, Miss SroNE's LEcTUsEs.-Lucy Stone deliver
ed here, last Wednesday and Thursday EVENING",
agreeaby to previous announcement, two ex-
ccedingly interesting and brilliant lectures on
Woman's Rights. Miss Stone, besides being a
thoroughly educated, is really II very gifted wo-
MN, as her unusually large audiences were, af-
ter hearing her, very generally, we think, ready
} to concede. She did not take any very ultra
ground here, nor did she advance anything with
which any need take offence.
} To EMlGRANTs FOR KANsAs-We have several
times been applied to by those meditating emf
grafton to Kansas, for the means of being put
} in communication with the Emigrant Aid Com
pany; and for the information of such. we
would state, that any information wanted res
pecting the doings of that company, the time
new companies of emigrants will start &C., &C.,
may be obtained by addressing the Secretary,
THOMAS ii. WEBB, Boston, Mass, office in Mass,
Historical Rooms, next door south of the Mu-
scum, fremont Street.
HE EXISTENCE OF LARGE SNAKES IN THE NORTH,
CoNFlRMED.-rhe great fires on the mountains
rising from Lakes Champain and George, have
driven down to the settlements, not only great
numbers of wild quadrupeds, but vast multi
tudes of reptiles, which were before hardly
known to exist. Among others of the latter,
monstrous Snake Of about the size of the one
we last year showed to have been seen in Hard
wick, Vermont, was discovered near Fort Ann,
on the Hudson, by reliable physician of Ores
den for which the White Hall Chronicle, vouches
as follows -
} Many stories are related of hair breadths
escapes OF men and beasts from the fury Of the
fames, and OF monstrous snakes and bears be-
ing seen fleeing from the conaagration. DR..
haynes OF Dresden, states that while coming
down the State road leading from that town to
fort Ann, he SAW monstrous snake lying in
the road ahead OF him, the length of which he
thinks was not less than 30 feet Its head was
us large us II man $, and was erected on his az
proach about feet high. The road being thus
oarrlcaded, the Doctor beat retreat in Sc rch
} OF help. On his return his snakeship had de-
parted through the woods, leaving trail like
that made by shaking log -....
! RARE PREsENr.-In behalf of our family,
especially including the youngest, we acknowl-
edge the receipt of liberal box OF rare fruit,
consisting mostly of Bartlett Pears, from Beng
" oieSnit"i, Leq', VI bEautoIu, MASS, wv
noted Mathematician The generous donor
will pardon this public, instead of the private
acknowledgment be doubtless expected for hay
J ing distributed specimens among our printer
boys, we found that, by a sort of involuntary
spiritualism, the type under their fingers were
so strangely inclined to shape themselves into
card of thanks, that we deemed it wisest not to
J thewart the impulse. For ourself, we not only
thank our hearty old FREUD, but feel rcry thank
lul, which is not always the case with pretend
, ing to offer thanks for favors received.
TnE VERMONT hBuxE-Z. X. Panghorr, who
J has written most of the political articles for
J this paper the past season, has now assumed tie
entire responsibility, and G. c. Sampson has re-
tired from the concern. Mr.. p, is q man of
education and much native mental resource
and, II he will make business of it, will pub
, fish good paper.
BARKER's Day Goops SToRE.-Don't fail to
read the advertisement of J. S. Barker, nor TO
call and examine his new stock of Fall Goods.
Mr., B., is alone now, but is whole team of
himself

said to be important
