last Sunday with the exception of a day
or two,) has been fair and warm all the
time since we came from VT Sunday
morning it commenced to rain. and rained
all day without intermission. In the
evening the wind began to blow, and it
grew cold very fast. 1t was wild night
indeed, such as we seldom see in Vt.
1t rained Monday morning until about
nine o'clock. 1t cleared up however dur
ing the day, and last night was the cold
est one since we came here, little ponds of
water several feet across were slightly fro
zen over. 10 day the weather is pleas
ant, but cold. The weather when we
came here was about the same as the
warmest part of the season in Vt. 1t has
been very dry here the past summer, and
for the last six weeks, there has much
less rain fallen than is usual, so that the
ground is quite dry, and the roads very
hard and good. The Co. have suffered
considerably within the last three or four
days with the cold and wet, and there arc
now long row of names on the sick list,
but we hope soon to be in winter quarters
somewhere, then we shall fare better.

To Young Farmers.

It is useless to try to give advice to the
old, whether the subject is agriculture,
politics, religion or medicine. Early i'm
pressions, preconceived opinions and hab-
its which have grown strong with age,
usually prevent active sympathy and CO.
operation in new modes of action.
For converts to new ideas we turn to
the young, and seek to turn their atten-
ton to modern inventions, and elevating
but visionary theories, trusting that
though they may not be realized, yet will
result in some practical improvement. In
agriculture however the same general
principles must always govern economy
and industry. Nearly all young farmers
have had superior advantages in education
to their fathers, and have higher opin-
ion of brain than muscle. They choose
companions sometimes who believe that
" fine feathers make fine birds" They
associate at school with young persons
who become tradesmen, or professional
men, or their companions, and although
they know that the income of their small
farms will not warrant the expenditure,
yet they qDiU dress we'll, drive dashing
team with light wagon and heavy heart,
and finally the farm goes back to the old
man who drives rediculously mean team,
but can afford it. They have not the
courage to live within their means, be cut
by stylish acquaintance and take COM
fort, and get home of their own, knowing
that all true friends they retain while
those that are friends to dress alone, can
be gained at any time.
We think your taste for literature can
be gratiied if the knowledge you obtain
makes you capable Of farming more prof
liable. Make knowledge available. Take
the best agricultural paper, read it.
invest no money in luxuries till you are
able; get home of your own. The opin-
ion is becoming more prevalent that one
cannot pay for small farm as easily as
for large one, this is true if you wish to
live gentleman and hire your work done,
but if you can work yourself, "pitch in, !"
use brain and muscle both, your income
will not be as large, neither your cxpen-
ditures.
I know man who was gaining money
on three thousand dollar farm, who is
loosingit on one which cost four thousand
He and all the family are working for the
hired help. Live within your means,
take comfort, love your neighbor fear

Horses FOR THE CAVALRY Lt-Col
Preston of the Vermont cavalry is in town
recruiting horses for that regiment. We
understand that the war department has
ordered the purchase of 900 horses for our
regiment those that the regiment took
with them one year ago being entirely
used up. If it were not for the great
waste of human life in the present war
we should consider the destruction of
horseAesh needless and cruel; but the
greater evil hides the less. Our cavalry
can no longer be accused of doing nothing
- killing 900 horses in one year is
quite little job Caledonian.

The CAVALRY ENGAGED.-A special to
the Tribune, dated Oct. 25th, says:-Yes-
terday afternoon party of thirty, under
Lieut.. Flint, Of the LIST Vermont Cavalry,
and detachment from the LIST Maryland
Cavalry, were surprised at Manassas juno
ton by a force of rebel cavalry, number
ing l25, coming from Warrenton. Lieut..
Flint's party were driven back toward
Bull Run, and several were captured. AS
they were scattered by the attack, and
those who have returned can give no con-
nected account of the affair, it is impos.
sible to state our loss. AS far as ascer-
tanned, it consists of Lieut. Patterson and
Lieut.. Dorsey of the LIST Maryland, and
l5 men missing.

ASad and Singular Case.

A Miss Emily Scott, aged about 10
years, daughter of Willilm B. Scott. of
Plainfeld, was found dead in her bed on
the morning of Thursday last. (23d inst.)
She had been hired to work in the fam
lily of Mr.. Thomas Courser, in this Viii
lage, where she had been some two weeks
when the tragic scene occurred. The cir
cumstances, as We learned them from Mrs.
Courser, were briefly as follows: She had
been with them some two weeks, and had
been apparently contented, cheerful, and
happy. Just at night-fall she went to
the apothecary's and obtained a vial of
liquid strychnine. She returned and per-
formed her accustomed work of washing
dishes, &c with her usual cheerfulness,
singing occasionly, while about her work.
She spent the evening with Mrs Courser,
in cheerful conversation, up to about s
o'clock, when she retired to her room,
packed up all her things changed her
underclothes, put everything in order
about her room, and turned down the
light in her kerosene lamp, and as is sup
posed took the fatal draught and at once
laid herself in bed where she was found
in the morning as above stated. She
gave no intimation in any way, nor to any
one, the intention; and left no clue by
which her motives can be even guessed
at. 1t is most sad and singular case.
The blow falls with crushing weight upon
her family. 1t is but few months since
their eldest son was laid in a soldier
grave, in the land of strife and strangers.
And scarcely less severe is the sad event
to the family in which it occurred.

AN EXPLANATION DUE TO VERMONT Snr
DIERs.-Some time since the JVotchmoo
published private letter, purportine to
have been written by Vermonter in
Gen. Buffers Department, giving what
pretended to b9 conduct of Vermont sol.
diers in plundering and injuring private
property, on the estate of the late Gen.
Taylor, near New Orleans. That account
having come under the notice of the Stb
Regiment, at New Orleans is characterized
by them as tissue of falsehoods and mis-.
representations Nothing like the account
given occurred. Before our troops arrived
at the plantation, on the occasion referred
to, the oyerseer of the plantation had run
away, taking with him nearly everything
valuable belonging to the estate.
Tho negroes on the plantation, had
after their master left, taken possession of
the wines, and some trinkets which had
not been removed by the overseer and
had taken them to their shanties. When
the troops arrived the ground was
strewn with papers, which the negroes
had taken and opened. The troops took
the cattle, mules, and horses which they
were sent to seize but that their conduct
was in any respect like what the Wctch-
mans correspondent makes appear so ag-
gravated and unbecoming in Vermont, or
any other soldiers is pronounced by Off
GERS who accompanied the expedition, and
by others who have investigated the affair
since seeing the charges in tn IVatchmom,
ridiculously false, or most grossly misrep,
esented.-Freenean.

Cows to run in the Streets.

We notice in the report of Friday S
proceedings in the House on the subject
of pounds and estrays" the following:
"Mr Reed moved to strike out provis-
ion of the bill that the selectmen permit
the owners of one COW to run in the high
way such time as they choose; agreed to,
and the bill passed.
All very good; but in the afternoon
Mr.. Hunton moved reconsideration,
and the report thereon in Walton's Jour-
nal reads as follows:
This motion was opposed by Messrs.
Reed Henry and others supported by
Messrs Fletcher of Gavendish, Page of
Waterville, and others, and agreed to-
yeas 70, nays 70.
1.-The question then being shall the
amendment proposed by Mr.. Reed be
adopted, to wit: to strike out the provis-
lou Of one section of the bill allowing
the Selectmen to allow persons having u
single cow to run in the road at their
discretion, it was supported by Messrs.
Hubbell and Henry, and opposed by
Messrs. James, Page of Waterville and
Fletcher of Cavcndish.
1.-The argument of those who favored
the measure was that the owners of the
ajoining lands owned the highway, sub
ect to the right of travel, and that the
sclectmen had no constitutional right to
lay out in or make pastures of the high
way. Those opposing it said it was a
great privilege to the poor who owned a
single COW to have them feed in the high
way and commons.
Mr.. Hunton thought if there were
towns where the selectmen would permit
the cows of poor people to run in the road
they should have the privilege. In his
town, he did not know. as any one ap-
piled to have their COW run in the high.
way. They were not troubled to obtain
pasturing. But if there were towns
where poor people could not obtain pastu
rage for their COW without paying exhorbi
taut prices, and the selectmen chose to LEI
them run in the highway portion of the
season. he did not object to it. Such hac
been the law for some years, and he hat
not heard of trouble arising therefrom."
"0n the question, the yeas and nays be
ing demanded by Mr.. Dyer of Salisbury
were taken; yeas &C nays 1873. So thu
amendment was lost; and the bill passed.
Why not give the selectmen leave, also
to allow the owners of one hog and ON
horse, to allow their animals to run in th,
street. to be general nuisance and ;
public injury? The argument for i
would be just as good. In sparsely set
tied parts of the State, where pasture il
abundant and cheap, and owners of singl,
cows very rare, the occasion will be rar
where cows will he left in the street
But in every place where the population
is dense and pastures less accessible, Their
will be large numbers of COWS let loos
and the nuisance will be intolerable. A
for the discretion in the premises, givel
to the Selectmen, in most cases it is no
worth straw to protect the public

hibits the catching of fish between the

went into effect the next day after their
arrival on the fishing grounds, but that

Coon HUNrING.-A party of gentlemen
of this village, accompanied by others from
Dummerston, and headed by Philip Wells
Esq, got up coon hunt this week.
They proceeded to the West River Bridge
that one which is immortalizcd by aAerse
from one Of our first poets-where they
left their horses. and then struck out
through the woods in the direction of
Townshend. From eight o'clock in the
evening until four in the morning they
carried on operations with degree of
activity that should be initiated by the
army of the Potomac, Their dogs freed
two coons; and one Of the party perform
ed the astonishing feat of climbing tall
pine that measured thirty or forty feet to
the first limb. From the top of this pine
was shaken the largest of the two coons,
which leaped some sixty feet to the earth
and died only after long and brave con-
test with the dogs. This animal weighed
twenty three pounds, and was one of the
latest VIC venture to say, that was ever
seen. Who can beat this ?-Bratleboro
