ding" The more distant relatives and friends
assembled in the evening at the residence of Ma
and Mrs. Estabrook. Calvin G. Howe Esq, in
giving an interesting account of the events of the
last fifty years, said that only three persons re-
main in the neghborhood who were there half
century ago, and only three houses that
were standing then, still remain. Dur
ing that time also, our aged friends had
seen one-half of their family, two sons and two
daughters, conveyed to the silent tomb. Rev.
Mr.. Waite followed with appropriate and inter-
esting remarks. A poem, written by one of the
sons, commemorative of their childhood and of
the scenes through which they had passed, was
happily delivered, and Song of welcome"
composed by one of the family and an original
hymn, agreeably enlivened the festivities of the
evening. The company, after bountiful re-
past, dispersed, with many good wishes for the
aged couple, and happy memories of the first
golden wedding ever celebrated in Rutland.

FARMERS CLUB.-At a regular weekly meet
ing, on Monday last, fruit-growing being the
subject for consideration, members brought in
specimens of apples.
Walter Bigelow exhibited the Yellow Bell
feur, well grown specimens; the flesh was juicy
tender; with sprightly flavor, and pronounced
first rate. Capt. John Barnard exhibited Yellow
Bellleur and Esopus Spitzenburg, which were
fine and of excellent flavor. Jonas Hartshorn
exhibited the TompkinS County King, one of the
new varieties very popular in New York, fine
specimens, and pronounced of good flavor. Mr.
Curtis exhibited Hubbardston Nonsuch and
namelcss variety. 0 B. Hadwen exhibited the
Baldwin, Fameuse Vandervere, Jewett's Red
and Yellow Bellteur, which were tested and dis
cussrd by the members. The Northern Spy
apples contributed by Ebenezer Flagg were the
finest apples on exhibition, surprising in size
and color any fruit of this variety ever seen on
exhibition in this city, demonstrating that good
culture will produce good Northern Spys in this
section.
The same subject will be considered at the next
meeting on Monday, Dec. 18th, at seven P NJ.
All interested are invited to attend and bring
specimens.

THE presence of Gen. Mcclellan in Washing
ton, and his testimony before the Mcdowell
court of inquiry has given profound satisfaction
to the opposition, and encouraged them in re-
newed assaults upon the government. So violent
have they become, that the sta:t and sympathiz-
ing National Integencer has been impelled Ito
warn them against transcendlng the limits of
loyal and candid opposition" Vain warning
The statement of Mcclellan to which they attach
importance is that when he went to the Peninsu-
la che left seventy thousand men, independent
Of the corps of Mcdowell, disposable for the de-
fence of Washington" AS this conflicts radi-
cally with statements made by the president
many times since Mcclellan went on that expe-
dition, the opposition--the Providence Post, for
example, illustrates the spirit of all the rest
rush to the inference that the president is the
liar-of the two,-and that he intentionally
blocked the Peninsula campaign, with the pur-
pose to make it horrible failure as it was,
rather than successful under General Mcclellan!
Such is the kind Of support the opposition ten
der to the government while it is locked in a
death grapple with the rebellion There is much
interesting testimony bearing on the point raised
by Mcclellan, which will now be produced in
the court and laid before congress. kilograms,
written documents, and the evidence of the pub
lie records, it is said, will be produced to show
how far from the truth General Mcclellan was
compelled 10 go, TO find decent excuse for the
disasters of his campaign. The senate has also
called for the report of the committee on the
conduct of the war, which embraces the sworn
testimony of several generals, contradicting the
testimony of General Mcclellan in court Cen
eral Wadsworth himself, then in command of the
defences of Washington, says that less than nine
teen thousand men were left for the defence of
the capital, and that not a gun was left on
wheels.

THE choice of the fredericksburg route to
Richmond at first excited considerable contempt
among the "war correspondents" at the other
end of the line. They called it the ''air line from
Washington "-"the mail route''-"shorter than
the Manassas track'-a little Shorter than Nc
Cellan's course down the Potomac, into the bay;
and up the York" They boosted that, however
short, it would prove to the federal army
more painful pilgrimage than the longest way
round, and that there was no point on the road
where their troops could not concentrate more
rapidly than ours could advance. They specu-
lated three weeks ago upon the probability of
beginning and ending the battle of this cam
paign against their capital on the high
plains around fredericksburg, without call
ing into play the lions couchant they
had distributed all along the road to Rich
mond, 1t will be remembered that they held
the same cheerful view when the Manassas
track" was popular with us, and the success of
their quaker guns showed that they had some
reason for their cheerfunes They also ridiculed
the march through the peninsula, and were
greatly eXhierated when they found what war;
der they had at their gates in the Chickahominy
swamps-although those same swamps became
the grave of some member of nearly every fami-
ly in Richmond. Since then times and men
have changed. Generals who were unequal to
the responsibilities are in retirement or on trial
New regiments have grown hard and veteran by
the experiences of a year in camp and in the
field. Trimmed regiments have been filled up
with new men, fresh, strong, and eager for the
inevitable conflict Our hope of success rests,
first, in the better organization of the army and,
second, in its increased personal force. We
draw no auguries of evil from past defeats. The
fatality that has attended the army of the Poto-
mac passed away with the circumstances which
caused it, If misfortune still awaits it, it will
come from new causes. If success rewards its
present campaign-as we firmly believe it will
it will be only what the country has the right to
expect from an army on which it has generous
ly ayished its care.

CITY AND COUNTY

NATURAL HISTORY SoCIETY.-The meeting
last Saturday evening was largely attended and
of more than usual interest The principal fea.
tuie of the evening was the reading of very
elaborate paper on birds nests by William A.
Smith, Esq. He entered largely into the details
of his subject, showing very clearly the instincts
of birds in the selection of location for their
nests, and in the careful building and graceful
architecture Of the homes for their young; how
male and female unite in this work, and with
what care and tenderness they rear their off
spring. No abstract can do justice to this re-
port. twas illustrated by the hests of the Bslti
more oriole, humming bird, red-tailed hawk and
others, which are in the possession of the socie-
ty. We would call the attention of the public in
their visits TO the looms on Wednesday after
moons, to the nest of the red-tailed hawk, which
was found in Paxton and procured in good pres
ervation, though with great difficulty, by Mr..
Hammond W. Hubbard.
DR.. Woodward exhibited and reported on a
living specimen of the gordius aquatcus, or hair
snake, contributed by Mrs. Brown of Webster.
A finely mounted specimen of the German
squirrel was presented by VIM. Bios, and fox
from Wayland, Mass, by Hon. George +. Hoar.
A specimen of native lead from Iowa was exhib-
tied by Thomas Sutton. A fishhawk captured
at Lake Quinsigamond was presented to the So
ciety by James Draper and c. c. Baldwin. The
society highly prizes contributions having To-
cal value.
Horse shoe crabs from VIM H. Young, and a
field spider from Miss Susie G. Gale, to whom
the society is indebted for humming birds
nest, found in an orange tree in Mexico by Geo..
w. Gale and contributed July IL, 1862. MessrS.
Charles B. Whiting and j. G. Arnold presented
shells found in this vicinity, George w. Holden
fossils and Henry Goulding large hornets
nest. John N. Alton of Webster, Mass, con-
tributed beautiful owl which he recently shot,
Thorn and pods of the honey locust were pre-
scented. We would call the VISITORS attention to
