SMALL; POY.

= There has been one fatal case of small
pox in this town during the week. Mr..
BENZ. F. Titon. died with it, last Sun
day. at his own house. He resided at
Harvey's factory village, was aged So,
and was a very worthy citizen. We learn
that the Selectmen have had the house
thoroughly fumigated and cleansed. We
know Of no other cases Of the disease in
the town at this time.
Last week, Mrs. Eliza Morse, of Cabot,
was arrested by State authority, under an
indictment for knowingly spreading the
small pox. in sending her children to
school, while infected with the disease

O. Sugaring is over, but we have
learned little as yet Of the amount made,
though thergeneral impression is that
there has been much less made than an
average amount. Spring is fairly upon us,
and farmers are busy preparing for put
ting iatheir crops. Soon the fields will
be green, and sheep and cattle will be
again cropping the grass, and making up
for the long fast which has been forced up
ION them by the scarcity of hay. 1t is
said however. that if grass comes on as
soon as the present appearances promise,
there is no real lack Of hay, and that in
stead of being obliged to pay $40, and
even $40 per ton, as has been done in
some places, we are told, it may be OBJ
tanned for the moderate price of $40. We
have heard the names of several farmers
who have several tons for sale, having
held on to it that they might realize
good price for it. We know of but one
man who sets his price, and adheres to
it, whatever others ask, or are willing to
give Moses Page, of this town, we are
told, asks only ten dollars for what ne.
may have to spare, and he has sold so
this year. Whatever the market price
may be, he tasks no more, and will take
no less" for he says hay is worth that,
and no more. s.,
Farmers may rely upon good prices for
nearly every kind of produce, this year,
and need not hesitate to give all their
energies to producing large crops.

sUGARING AND SUGAR PARTIES,

Mr.. EDITOR The months of March
and April generally bring large amount
of sugaring to the farmers of Vermont.
The present season has not been good as
that of some years The snow in the
woods was very deep, being from four to
six feet, and the weather did not get warm
enough to thaw it much till into April /;
so that it was as late as the second week
in April before there was any tapping
done. But Notwithstanding all these diff
ficulties, there has been about an average
amount Of sugar made in this town., The
sugar makers here feel somewhat rdisap-
pointed in not making larger amount
this year, as the times are so hard and
everything at so high price, and espec-
tally sugar, that they we're in hopes to
make enough for their own use and have
some to sell. | know of but two tubs be-
ing sold, and those for 10 cts. pound.
Sugar parties have been the "opder of
the day" to quite an extent, since the
snow has gone off so as to allow tho peo-
pie to get into the woods without being
buried up, in the snow-bank. On Wednes-
day of last week, L. s. Hutchias. had a
large party from the village; there was
alse.a party at Mr. Smiths on the same
day. On Saturday. Harvey Taylor ex-
tended an invitation to "all creation" to
come at two o'clock P. NJ, and help him
sugar off. Rev. Mr.. Herrick and Rev.
MIR. Bragg were present, and with conn.,
pany of about 70, had a jolly good time.
After eating what sugar they wanted, they
pitched into" pail of eggs and cod.
fish that one of the company had provided.
All seemed very much pleased and went
home in high glee.
Yours &C., w. F.S.

WORK IN THE SOUTHWEST.

We have q full account from one Of
our Mississippi correspondents of the mag
nifcent action of our gunboats in running
the Vicksburg batteries on Thursday night
of last week. 1t seems to have been an
excellently planned, admirably managed,
and highly successfully executed affair.
Our vessels made no response to the hot
cannonade of the rebel batteries but fear
lessly pursued their way through and be-
fore it. The material damage we suffer-
ed was Insignificant, and but one man
lost his life. Fortunately the rebels can
not put effective distractions in the Mis-
s;ssippi as they did in the harbor of
Charleston, to hold our vessels under the
fire Of their batteries. They tried OBJ
structions at Columbus but they failed
at Memphis, but they were failure-at
New Orleans, but they were bravely over
come They could use nothing but float
ing distractions, or chains, and these are
easily enough managed. The river is too
deep and its current too powerful through
ALI that region for any such thing as piles
or sunken boats, and even torpedoes. are
unavailable. Beside, at Vicksburg we
hold the opposite bank of the river, and
command its whole width, so that they
could not make an attempt to obstruct,
even were the thing practicable.
Vicksburgh is now of but little value,
in military point of view, to the rebels.
1t holds no relation to the preservation of
their trans Mississippi empire. 1t cannot
protect what jeff Davis called the aorta
Of the South-the river itself. 1t would
not disappoint us now to see Gen. Grants
army taken to Memphis, that it might
move eastward and cooperate with Gen.
Roseerans in what is really the most i'm
portant work to be done in the Southwest,
obtaining possession of Chattanooga and
command of East Tcnnessee.-N Y.

THE WEATHER.

The River on Sunday evening rose IN
the height of eighteen and one halfs.
above low water mark. 1t covered n,,.
of the island, and injured the road across
it some extent. This rise appeared to b.
due In part to recent fall of rain over
the valley of the Connecticut, as well ~
to disolving snow. The weather on sun
day (the 10th inst was quite warm, and
the few remaining patches of snow melted
rapidly, though they still linger in the
woods and shady places.
The sugar season appears to be over
1t was short this year owing doubtless to
the fore part of the winter being open, and
the advance of spring, when it did come
being rapid. While some farmers have
made little sugar in every month since
winter set in, another informs us that he
has made only 1000 pounds this year
against 5000 in other years. The winter
has been remarkable one, the main bulk
Of it's SHOWS and frosts occurring in the
month of March. The greatest rise in the
river usually takes place in that month,
and last. year the water rose to the I'm.
precedent height of nearly tacenty-sir feet
above low water mark.
All the indications of spring have been
later this year than usual. The music of
the frogs and toads was not heard by US
until the 10th; at which time masses
of old ice were still lingering in some of
the pools. A flock of wild geese alighted
in the river just above the bridge, on the
evening Of the 18th. AS this is not Of
frequent occurrence we may presume that
cold and stormy weather may still be ez.
pected from the north. The roads have
been moro quilted and broken up this sea-
son by the rapid thawing of the snow
than we recollect of seeing them for many
years.-Brattleboro Penir.

Oh how many times, when the twilight

Over him they've thrown our starry flag.

nerveless by his side. and ere the night

Episcopal Church, closed at st. Adams,
on Monday April goth. The occasion
was one ofunusual interest. Reports were
presented on the various benevolent en-
terprises connected with the church; also
the, Temperance cause and the state Of the
country. Bishop Simpson preached a very
powerful sermon on Sunday in the Con-

estimated at fifteen hundred. The char
acter of V. M. Simonds of Burlington, was
brought into question, thorough investi-
