@ On the first of July, Mr.W. II.
WINCHESTER leaves the "Greenwood
House" and the place of landlord is to
be supplied by Mr.. H. W. Byington.-
The Greenwood under the supervision of
Mr.. WINCHESTER has been an excellent
House. Having been a regular attendant
on its table services during most of the
past year we can testify that its "edibles''
have been "all right"
Mr.. BY1NGToN is recently from New
York and we judge from previous ae-
quaintance with him that he will make an
agreeable and successful landlord.

~ DR.. VANNATTA has removed his
stock of goods from the store formerly
occupied by him, to the one lately occu-
pied by VIM. POWELL. The DIR. has
gone below to buy stock of new goods.
We understand he intends to bring on a
large amount of Groceries. This is just
what is needed. Much of the time during
his season it has been impossible to pro-
cure groceries in this village. This fact
has had ruinous influence on the trade
and thrift of the village. Pcop.e who
Were obliged to go out of town to buy
groceries would Of course do much of
their other trading there; and so for the
want of good stock of groceries much
of the trade that would otherwise come to
our village is driven away from it, We
trust our merchants will see that it is both
for their own interest and that of the
town to keep full assortment of those
articles which every family must have.

re- The town of Glenmont figures
quite extensively in our advertising col
unns, and we made it visit the other
day and found it was no NEUROLOGICAL
affair, but had a real existence. The
road from here to Clement is one of the
most pleasant over which we ever drove.
AS it nears the Lake, the scenery is at
once beautiful and grand, and to an eye
educated among the green hills of Yer
mont, the sight is an inspiring one.
The view from the mound on which
portion of the town site is situated, is, we
think, the very finest that this portion of
country affords. Lake st. Croix--a sheet
of water noted for its beauty-is visible
for nearly its whole length, while Hudson
and Lakeland show "large as life" and
Alton smiles at you from just across the
water. Whatever may be the merits of
Glenmont as town site, it is pleasant
place for one to live,
-" who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible FORMS"
While there we visited the steam saw
mill owned by Mr.. L. [. OLDs. The
building is large and conlmodious one,
and easy of access. All the machinery
is of the most approved construction, and
turns out the best kind of work. A refer
ence to his advertisement will show that
he is ready to furnish all kinds of lumber,
rough or dressed, at reasonable prices.

critics, perhaps Addison has gained the great
est fame by his series of admirable papers upon
Paradise Lost, in the Spectator. Butwe think
the great poet has never had finer apprecia-

celebrated Imaginary Conversations, says -
"After have been reading the Paradise Lost

mony, and genius" And he elsewhere says,
lin answer to a supposed remark of Southey,)
"a rib Of Shakespeare would have made a
Milton; the same portion of Milton, all poets
born since" Again he says, "Itm may be doubt
cd whether the Creator ever created one alto

"LET Me KISS HIM FOR HIS MOTHER. -
The editor of the New Orleans Advocate has
this incident about the ravages of the yellow
fever in that city, related to him by one of the
Methodist pastors :-"The preacher was called
a, few days since to attend the funeral of a
young man. Before his sickness he was

them. When the funeral service was over,

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.

a ChhlSIMAS HYMN,
BY ALFRED DoMMErT.
1t was the calm and silent night!
Seven hundred years and fifty-three
Had Rome been growing up to might,
And now was queen Of land and sea.
No sound was heard of clashing wars
Peace brOoded DER the hushed domain:
Apollo, Pallas, Joye, and Mars,
Held undisturbed their solemn reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Twas in the calm and silent night!
The senator of naughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariOts fight,
From lOrdly reyel rolling home!
Triumphal arches cleaning swell
His breast with thoughts of bOundless swayI
What rocked the Roman what betell
a paltry province far away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
Within that province far away,
Went Flooding home weary boor.
A streak of light before him lay,
Fallen through a halfshut stable door
Across his path. He passed for naught
Told what was going on within;
How keen the stars his only thought
The air! how calm and cold and thin,
In the solemn midnight
Centuries ago.
Oh, strange indifference Low and high
DrOWsed over common joys and cares.
The earth was still but knew not why!
The world was listening unawares!
How calm u moment may precede
One that shah thrill the world forever!
TO that still moment, none would heed
Mans doom was linked, no more to sever
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
1t is the calm and solemn night!
thousand bells ring out, and throw
Their joyous peals abroad, and smite
The darkness-Charmed and holy now!
The night that erst no shame had worn,
To ii happy name is given;
For in that stable lay, newborn,
The peaceful Prince of earth and heaven,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
