~ Miss Goodells lectures have been

GRAHAM BISCUIT, No 1.-Take a quart of cold
water, and stir in Graham -four to make it a lit
tie thicker than for griddle-cakes. Beat it five
minutes, and pour it into small sized cup tins /;
fill them full, and bake for three fourths of an
hour. If they are JUST RIGHT, they will rise an
inch or more above the cups. Let them stand
in the tins until nearly cold. When twenty-four
hours old, steam them and they are as nice as
when fresh. Suit your own taste about sitting
the meal for this bread. r ltHi HlasH#
~UNLEAvENED BREAD, No. 2.-Take a quart of
unbJlted Graham meal without sitting it, stir
in boiling water sufficient to make a stiff dough,
mould it as you do biscuit, roll an inch thick,
cut it in strips an inch wide and two and q half
inches long prick them and bake in an oven
HOTTER than for any other bread. When the
cakes are nicely Drowned on the top, turn them
on the side and bake to a delicate brown. This
bread will be light and sweet, and may be eaten
warm.
This bread is much more wholesome than bread
made with yeast, saleratus, soda and cream of

HOSPITAL

A Society has been formed by the la
dies of this village to second the efforts
of DR.. Phelps to supply the deficiency in
reds for the sick and wounded soldiers
proposed to be sent to this state, and their
first meeting was held yesterday after
noon, when good progress was made to-
wards doing their part of fitting out the
twelve beds apportioned to Lamoille
County,
The knowledge that by their aid the
sick and wounded soldiers could be
brought home, as it were, for care and at
~tcntion during the long days and months
of suffering and convalescence, seemed to
inspire every hand to do its utmost. But
they earnestly solicit the cooperation of
the ladies in all parts of the town in car
rying out this work, as all have, or should
have an equal interest in this matter.
Let every lady, therefore, contribute her
mite, either by joining the society here
formed or by uniting with others to form
one in her wi neighborhood.
Now hat all cotton goods are SO ex-
pensive, it is desired that every lady may
give a little from her store of new or half
worn prints or delaines. such as ere suit
able for patchwork. Yarn and socks are
also needed. Will not some of you spare
from your abundance one or both o fthese?
This call upon your sympathies and as
s~istance should not be UNDECIDED. Our
soldiers are suffering for these supplies.
We hope to hear of similar action by
the ladies of every town in the county /;
and it would be gratifying if we could
have the pleasure of saying that in this
labor of love" "Spunky Lamoille" is
the first to furnish her proportion.
Mrs. Col. E. B. Sawyer will see that
any contributions furnished are properly
applied.

w., aged 30 years.
By this bereavement an affectionate COM
panion and two tender children, are de-
prived of a kind husband and doating
father, and parents, brothers and sisters,
mourn the loss of a kind son and brother.
Leaving the bosom of family and
friends, at the call of his country, and
stalking his life and all earthly interests
upon that country's altar, he sustained
many hardships, during a somewhat per-
jlous voyage to South, upon the barren,
dreary sands of Ship Island, and subse-
quently, amid the malarious swamps near
vicksburg. The exposure and fatigue in
cident to the expedition of last June, in
cutting a channel for the future course of
the Mississippi, proved to have eventual
ly sown the germ of disease and death in
his system. He remained, however, at
his post of duty, until the Saturday fol-
lowing the battle of Baton Rouge, in which
he participated, and was one of the mum
Der detailed to convey their commander,
Col. Roberts, m%ortally wounded, from the
field. He stood firm during this trying
hour, and most faithfully performed every

ever, soon laid him upon a couch Of suf
fering. He was brought to New Orleans
and subsequently, through the kindness
of Col. Thomas and Surgeon Gillett, t

THE MYSTERY AT CONCORD.


The examination of John Smith on charge
of having killed his wife, of which mention
was made in our last paper. has been in
progress at West Concord for one week or
more, and is not yet completed. Eminent
medical and surgical men have been called
to examine the skull of the diseased, and
several days have been consumed in taking
their testimony. 1t is believed that the
testimony will fail to show that foul play
was resorted to on the part of the husband
or any one else but the impression is
gaining ground that it was a purely acct
dental death. We are unable to give but
an outline of the case, which is nearly as
follows: About three o'clock on Monday
of last week Mr. Smith came to the mill,
some half a mile from his house, and in a
much agitated manner told the people
there that his wife had fallen down cellar
and he thought her dead. The neighbors
at once repaired to Smiths house where
Mrs Smith was found at the foot of the
cellar stairs with such wounds upon her
head as probably produced immediate
death. There were no marks upon her per-
SON., only those CHASTITY wounds on the
head. A bloody club was found in the
vicinity of the body, and the conclusion
was Immediately drawn that a foul MUIR
der had been committed and as the hus-
band was the only person who was known
to be about the premises, of course he was
the suspected one. We believe it was
shown on the examination that Mr. Smith
was at the mill aforesaid about two o'clock
on the fatal day, at which time he APP
peared as usual-calm and cheerful. In
less than one hour he came back bringing
the intelligence that his wife was dead,
and appearing very much agitated and
deeply affected. The bloody club has
been accounted for, as having been used in
the killing Of some fowls. And besides all
this there can no cause be assigned for the
commission of such o deed. Mr.. Smith is
a man rs years old, and is not what is u.s.
ualy called incorporate in his habits.
The. people will await the conclusion Of
the examination with great interest.

Rev. Leonard Tenny of Thetford, had a
valuable horse killed last week under the
following circumstances: As Mr.. T. was
leaving his residence on Thetford hill, he
dropped one of the reins, when the horse
suddenly turned and upsetting the car
riage ran with the fore wheels. The horse
in his frantic course came in contact with
two single teams, from one Of which he
took a wheel, and the other he succeeded
in completely overturning; next coming
in collision with a stage, the horse was
thrown with such violence against the
bank on the side Of the road as to cause
his instant death.
Diptheria is doing its work in Holland
to a fearful extent. During the last month
nine deaths have occurred, seven of which
were from this dreadful scourge. 1t has
also made its appearance at lrasburgh.
In the towns OF Wheelock and Shefheld 1t
still continues to rage with fearful effect;
funerals occurring almost every day in the
week. Mr.. c.. Cass of the latter place has

MUSIC IN WORTHWHILE.

Mr.. EDITOR: IT'S really true that the
old folks here at Morrisville and vicitity,
have been enjoying lively and pleasant
times this winter and why not? Why
not make winter like religion, which
"never was designed to make our pleas
ures less?" Meeting in each others hous-
es weekly, till they reached the 10th
meeting, held at the Town Hall, when |
counted sixty singers, old heads and
young heads, gray heads and black heads,
and judging from the sweet harmony and
energy of sound, not one block head and
nearly three hundred very attentive hear
ers. All old tunes and sung in the old
fashion style, with life, power and pathos.
The meeting always closed with the "Old
Hundred, and a short prayer. The sing
is still going on and we say to fathers and
mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers,
come and see, and once more bring back
for a moment the mental sunshine Of past
days; why not? I,

az Later intelligence from Springfield,
No., is better than we have reason to an
ticipate. A successful defense was made
against the rebels, who are now rctreating,
pursued by our forces. The gallant Gen.
Brown, commanding the post, lost an arm
in the defense. The siege Of vicksburg
has been entirely given up for the present,
it being decided that the defenses are too
strong for our forces now in the vicinity.
and it is intimated that an attack is to be
made on some other place OF the Missis-
,sippi, or some of the tributaries. The
rebels at Vicksburg are jubilant over their
successful defense, and Gen. Pemberton
telegraphed to Richmond that the place
was never SO strong, and he intends to
hold it. He certainly seems likely to for

The WEATHER.-How we pity our
friends in Massachusetts, and New York;
how sad it must be to have the snow come
on at Christmas, and hear the wind howl
through the broken shuttert on New Years
dayl The New York papers tell us that
1862 passed away amid snow and sleet,
keen winds, and cloudy skies. In short
the last day of December was dismal to the
'3lst degree. A splitting storm there hail
ed the advent of the New Year, with rain
and snow driven like grape shot before a
sharp Worcester. In Boston and Spring.
field, Mass. they had a regular downtown
try snowstorm. So that IN New Years
all the fast men brought out all their fast
nags-and some that were not so fast
and vainly 1--WE presume) endeovored to en-
joy themselves in wading through a foot
or more of heavy snow. Well, how was
the weather all this time in Northern YER
mont? We answer, mild, calm and balmy
as May. For the twelve days succeeding
Christmas there was no snow, no rain, no
mud, no wind: nothing but calm bright
days and most glorious nights. On Sab.
bath morning, January 4, 1868, the birds
were singing merrily as in April. The

bill blush black, curved from the base

HIsToRY.-Thc principal residence of
this species of owls is in the northern
most parts of both the eastern and west
ern continents, 1t is very common in
Lapland, Iceland, and in the countries
around Hudson's Bay, and its large size
and thick downy plumage are well fitted
to resist the climate of those icy regions,
In these dreary wilds, surrounded by al
most perpetual winter, he dwells, breeds
and obtains his subsistence. His white
robe renders him scarcely observable from
the overwhel ming SHOWS where he reigns
like the boreal spirit of the storm. His
loud, hollop, barking growl, 'whowA,
'achowh, 'aVhooh, hah, hah, hah, and other
more dismal cries, sound like the unearth-
ly ban of the Internal Cerberus, and heard
amidst a region of cherries solitude, his
lonely and terrific voice augments rather
than relieves the horrors of the scene.
The Snowy Owl seeks his food by day as
well as by night, and in the midst of win
ter many of them are compelled to proceed
to the southwark to procure the means Of
subsistence. At such times they arc seen,
usually III pairs, in various parts of the
U. States. They do not make their ap-
pearance in Vermont until winter is fully
set in, and leave us with the earliest indi-
cations of spring. They breed in the re-
gions far to the North, and are said to
make their nest upon steep rocks, or old
pine trees, and to lay two eggs, which arc
of a pure white. They feed upon other
birds, mice, rats, and other small quadru-
peds. -. .
