SHARP WEATHER-With the thermometer

higher than = below zero at any time OF
day, although there is bright sunshine and
hardly any wind, we may safely mark Wed
nesday as a COLD DAY. This Thursday
morning the thermometer stood at-24 >
We notice that the street HYDRANTs are
UNPROTECTED from the cold, above ground
This leads us to remind our fellow citizens
that special care should be taken these times,
against fire. Stove pipes should be carefully
seen to-that they are perfectly safe under
the increase of heat which such cold weather
is sure to subject them too. The FIRE AP-
PARArUs of the place should be in perfect
condition. HYDRANTs should be seen TO by
the proper officers, and tried almost daily to
make sure that ice is not where ,oater should
be. in case of emergency. We all know
that the dread Of ,Oanting ,oater in case OF
fire is ever present in some parts of the vii
lage So much the more need of watchful-
ness. and of all due precau tions.

SMALL Pox-We hear reports Of cases OF Small
Pox in some localities in this State. There is a
report that many of the shops in Burlington are
sbut I'D. and business suspended on this account,
merchants going to other towns for a continue
ton of their business.
The above is, of course, from the Mont
heller Freeman. The Freeman will be
sorry to hear it, but the fact is that no con-
tagious disease of any kind is prevailing
here,-that there has been no shutting OF
shops or suspension of business here from
any cause-that our Merchants are doing a
thriving business, and staying at home to
mind it. and that whatever alarm may have
been occasioned by the one or two cases OF
small box here, several weeks since, has
subsidized with The disappearance OF the
disease. The Freeman's report is therefore
wholly false.

THE DISUNION THREATS,

The Richmond Morning Neios rather
blows upon the disunion talk of its contem-
poraries. Says the Ne'0s
"Some men talk as fippantly of dissolvlng
this Union of States, as if they medltated
crushing an eggshell. No doubt there are
some wise souls, confident in their own con-
ceit. who are ready to undertake the job by
contract, at an hours warning, and who are
prepared to furnish promptly all the requi-
Site suggestions of wisdom and skill-of ways,
means, men and money. No doubt of it.
Horace says: M rOrt1hbus drd'tunl est.
which, being modernly translat d, means
there are some fellows whose selfsuticiency
is unbounded - Dissolving this Union, we
take eave to say to these gentry, is serious
thing. 1t cost great deal of time, labor,
wisdom, and patriotism to form ito make
it possible 1t will require something more
than empty vaporing or conceited predic-
tions to undo it. Politicians and Demagogues
NAV pirate about it with a personal impor-
lance and profit, but the people will ponder
long before they lend their ha Ids to an act
so pregnant of results. We are not so wise
as our fathers were, nor any better. We I'M
derstand the demagogues very we'll and with
them Disunion means Democratic success.

The CULTIVATION i well known agricul-
tural paper of from 80 to 40 pages 70 pub
lished by Luther Tucker & Son, at Albany,
n. Y, at fifty cents year. The Sth volume
of the third series begins with the January
number. The same gentlemen publish the
Country Gentleman, an agricultural weekly,
in Quarto form, making in all two volumes
yearly of 4l6 pages at 81 year. The char
acter of both these publications has been es-
tablished for many years, md are too well
known among the farming public to need a
particular description. Suffice it to say that
they rank very high, both for the quality of
their matter, the copiousness of the illustra-
tons which they contain of valuable domes-
tic animals, of fruits, flowers and agricultural
implements, and the very neat style in which
they are published. The Country Gentle
man is, of course, the most complete work of
the two, but the Cultivator is very valua-

A detail of farther sums or, hand, in cash

A detail of farther sums on hand, in cash
and variously invested, is given, bringing the
entire amount collected up to 1922, 206 Os,
and of this sum the Association is indebted
to the labors of Hon. Edward Everett, tor
sums received from Orations, writing for the
New York Ledger, &C., &C., to an amount
no less than S69,OO4 II.
From this statement you derive the en-
couraging assurance, not only OF having
raised the entire purchase money, with Its
interest, but of possessing over and above any
remaining liabilities, about 900 towards
the fund which will be necessary to meet all
the responsibilities we have assumed for our
country, viz: to place Mount Vernon be-
yond all contingencies, public as well as PR

On the subject of the reported embarrass-
ment of the property, Miss C. gives the fol-
lowing letter from the Clerk of Fairfax Court,
which disposes effectually of that rumor.

John A. Washington. Esq, of NJ. Vernon,
has title to twelve hundred and twenty-five
acres of land in this County, known as the

to him by his mother, Mrs Jane c. Wash

under the authority vested IN her by the will
of her husband, John A. Washington the
leder. The conveyance was in fee, without
any charge or reservation whatever, except tC
Mrs Washington, the fishing shores thereon
during her lite, and charge of $4,000 to Nh
VIM. f. Alexander. The property at the
time of the conveyance was clear of all In
cumbrances whatever, and MIR. Washington
since the said conveyance to him, has never
mOrtgaged the same or otherwise encountered
it, nor is there any judgment against him, OF
other lien upon the said land, except that III

The scorn with which the Union-saying
Meetings-just now the rage in our large
cities-are spoken of in Southern prints, must
be very refreshing to the Originators and man
ayers of these gatherings. Take few para
graphs from the Virginia Indez as a sample;
"What can the South hope for from even
the conservatives of the free States? There Is
not a man of them that is not bitterly oppo-
sed to admitting any more slave States INTO
the Union which is as deadlya war upon the
South as can be waged. If we are to have no
addition to our representation in the Senate
of the United States, we will soon be weighed
in the balance and found wanting
"Public Meetings, like those at Philadel-
phia and Boston, do very well to ventilate
the fossil remains Of a defunct conservatism,
and to beguile the fearful and timid at the
South into false security,-but they are the
pageants of an hour, and the twitchings of a
galvanized corpse.

A NEW YEAR.

Before another issue of our paper, we shall
have entered on new year and on new de-
cade. Crowded as the past year has been with
births and deaths (more numerous than IN
any before it)-with changes in men ana
states and nations-with wars and revolu-
tions and treaties and connections and great
and small events of every kind, 1t has been a
short wear. But the next will be no longer
and still more full Of every thing Of human
interest-for men multiply and the world
moves-more abundant in material for the
chronicler and Of course buster for the daily
and weekly recorders of mundane affairs. In
other words newspaper men will have to
work harder, and newspaper readers will
get more for their money, the coming year,
than ever before.
1t isa popular and pleasant fallacy of the
race, to believe that the new year viii b.
better than the old We intend to believ,
so, for ourselves, and we heartily wish i
may be so for our dear readers. 4 happy
New Year to each and every one Of them.
