"REMINISCENCES OF THE SEAsoN.-Mr. Ed.
tor-Having kept partial record of the sea
sons for long time, and having referred to
these records recently, find that we have had
the past winter the most pleasant season since
1S16-17. There was good sleighing or good
wheeling every day from Dec. l to Feb. 30;
no one day that man could not take his team
and go where his business or his fancy led
him The omnibus has been on runners forty
days, from New Worcester-16 in December,
184 in January, and 81 in February. The
coolest night was Feb. 1st-2d the Sd was
very cold. The thermometer ranged about
degrees below zero. The 9th and It'll were
warm as April. The worst day in the winter
was Feb. 10, when some of the chimneys had
to yield on account of the wind. The days
in the winter that snow did not yield to the
influence of the sun on the south side of build
ings were four; the largest number known
since 1880 was in the winter of 1853, when
the sun could not make the caves "shed tears"
for 81 days. CHRONICLES, CHAP. l.

OLD Folks CONCERT. Father Kemp's
Old Folks were greeted by large and friend
ly audience at Mechanics Hall, last night.
We have seldom attended concert that was
so thoroughly enjoyable as was this. The
whole company, numbering some thirty, with
fine orchestra, were attred in rich and anti
quated costumes of a past age, and looked de-
cidedly unique and picturesque. They sang
many old and favorite tunes, with rare and
enlivening effect, including "Strike the Gym
bal, which was so well received that it was
twice repeated Coronation" in which the
whole audience joined; "Hymn for Easter"
code on Science" the "Mar seillaise Hymn
and others. Mrs. Nichols sang the favorite
Scotch ballad, "Within mile of Edinboro'
Town." with a most captivating voice and
style. During the intermission the company
circulated through the hall, to show the cos
tunes of ancient days,
This afternoon the company give an enter.
tainment for the benefit of ladies and children,
and to which children under twelve years of
age will be admitted free, if accompanied by
their parents. Tonight, also, they sing at the
same place, and will give the farewell concert
on Wednesday evening.

WORCESTER FARMERS CLUB.-At the
meeting last evening the subject of farm i'm
plenents was in order, and first of all atten-
ton was given to the good old plow." Not,
however, to the venerable and clumsy tool
used by the forefathers, bat to the improved
pillow of more recent invention. Most of the
speakers argued in favor of deep blowing, and
of course favored the pillow which would do it
satisfactorily. 1t was said that the hard-pan
which the deep blowing brought to light was
as good as manure, and grass land would hold
good moving considerably longer by this mix
ture of the under soil with the upper. In
stances were adduced of good crops of pota-
toes, as well as grass, grown on the soil thrown
up from deep diggings on railroads and else
where. Most of the farmers had ventured
beyond seven inches, which used to be consid-
cred deep blowing, and invariably, now,
went eleven and twelve inches deep, while
very favorable results had attended blowing
sixteen inches deep. 1t was thought by many
that it was best to plow as deep as possible.
The pillow for this purpose was Knox's patent
double swivel plow, manufactured by Nourse,
Mason, 6 Co. This pillow was greatly lauded
by those who had used it. This instrument is
so constructed that two plows attached to one
beam are readily changed from one side to the
other, turning the furrow slices either TO the
right or left, as desired. 1t combines the
swivel with the sod and subsoil principle, en-
abling the person who uses it to pillow hill-sides
in the sod and subsoil style; or to commence
on one side of level field, and passing forth
and back turn the soil all one way, thus avoid
ing the center or dead furrow and ridges on
the side. The double swivel pillow was said to
be easier to hold than the other kinds
Knox's patent gang cultivator was recon-
mended highly by Mr. Barrett for working in
manure or for grass land where planting is
to be done; or for working in grain.
A rambling discussion followed on horse
hoes, and hay-spreading machines, when it
was resolved to continue the same topic on
next Monday evening.
In the course of the evening Mr.. Lincoln
stated that at the Leicester Academy it was
proposed to make provision for the study of
botany, minerology, agricultural chemistry,
&C., with especial reference to practical farm
ing and it was agreed by the club to discuss
the subject of a necessity of some movement
like this in our seminaries, at future meeting.
