cidedly warmer, and fires and overcoats can we'll
be dispensed with-&. Johnsbury Caledonidn.
White Frost has been observed several morn
ings of late, in some parts of Worcester County, :
Massachusetts,; and our fugitive citizens else
where, have been reminded of their deserted
homes by the same chilly monitor The steamer .
Commonwealth, from Norwich and Worcester,
brought as many passengers yesterday morning
rs could we'll be accommodated including many
from the White Mountains. But Summer travel
will continue some time longer. Jack Frost is
gorgeous painter, and it is not until he has
tried his hand. that Nature appears in her most
captivating attire. The farmers will gladly dis
pense with his visits for SOME time longer, maui

generally backward, and needs much more sun

Still, MORE OF THAT New ALMANAC.-The last
Vermont Patriot reminds all Democrats OF the
near approach of election, and charges them
particularly to be at the polls ON the eighth day
of September. We are perfectly willing that
