INCIDENTS IN THE EARLY SETTLE
MENI OLE uANRE

MrN Or e hhhH.
In August, 1893 my father and grandfath-
er came from Wubgaham Mass, to this town,
then called WildersbusgA, The few iuhab-
itants residing here at that time petitioned to
the legislature to have the name Of the town
changed TO that Of Barre. Where South
Barre Village is, the trees were ielled, the
land burnt over, and thrlty corn growing
among the logs, where 10 had been " Indian
planted, % and one secluded log hut was the
only mark Of habitation,
From there they went sOutherly, exploring
the woods, aud marking some trees as they
went along through the juniper about two
miles, where they found convenient place
for my grandfather TO erect his log cabin.
After bui ding that, th9y went TO the place
where Williamstown Village is. 1t was
then an unbroken wilderness, and the brush
wood SO thick, that my father concluded to
build his cottage in some other quarter. On
his return TO Wilbraham be bought lot Of
land ia that part Of Bsthel called Lympus.
To select profitable location ia the early
settlement, required no little degree OF sagac-
ity 70 determine. Maay, after striking the
axe into the tree, were doubtng whether
they had chosen the right place or not; and
some who did not lioa sweating the brow,
abandoned their small Improvements entirely
aud ocmmenced anew, perhaps TO be again
disappointed in finding in less than a dozen
yeaEs after, that the former location was the
best, and had been converted into produce
tive farm, with everything convenient, the
owner cheerfully enjoying the reward Of iru-
gal industry
/ Now in Vermont We see the farm houses
neat, the well cultivated fields, the flourish
ing Villages, and the gigantic iron horse with
uneqnslled speed bringing things from all
parts Of the civilized world. On all sides are
seen comfort and peace, the happy effects Of
morality, industry, liberty and justice.
One hundred and 6fsy years ago Vermont
was a wild region; the varied and picturesque
scenery Of tho beautiful dsles aud lofty green
mountains never had gaddened the eye Of
/ the tourist, nor had he viewed the limpid
rivers meanderng calmly through the level
fertile meadows, nor had the perpetual roar
Of the Winooski ever greeted HE ear.
An was a desolale wilderness, that echoed
the hideous yell and wild warwhoop OF the
ruthless savage; where the humid smoke
assembled from the wigwam, in the dark shade
OF the woods whore tho nimble untutored
Indian, in his giddy wsr-dsnce, shouted in
wild sport, while handling his rude weapons,
the bow and arrow, the tomahawk and scalp

New YORK, June i6.
The steamship City OF Paris, from Liver
pool 6 III via Queenstown the 7th, has arrived.
1t is fully confirmed that the proposed con-
ference Of the European powers has been
abandoned, owing to the demands Of Austria
and Prussia which were regarded by Eng
land. France and Russia, as tantsmount to
refusal.
All negotiations have been broken of by
the neutral powers, and it remains for the
armed powers to negotiate among themselves
or commence war.
LArER.-The London Times says daily.
almost hourly. the chances of peace pass
away; it believes that the first events will
occur in the Elbe Duchies, but that the great
move OF Austria will be to attempt to pos
sess herself Of Silica.
The Daily News says appearances indicate
that declaration of war will proceed from
Prussis.
Government has issued circular note to
the neutral powers, charging Austria with
fagrant breach of the treaties by referring
the Holstein question to the Diet.
Prussia has also sent protest to Austria,
declaring that the measures announced by
Austria in the Diet, violate the treaty of
Gastine, cause the suspension OF the Ouch
les, and restores the two powers to the po-
sition accorded by the treaty of Vienna.
An Austrian circular declares that Austria
will observe the Gastine Convention until a
definite settlement Of the question OF the
Dnchies is effected.

June l s, the Senate passed the bill relative
TO the exposition at Paris OF manufactures Of
Of the world, having amended i, by appropri-
atins $4,000 for suitable biilding for
American productions. In tue House, Mr.
Bingham of Ohio introduced a resolution re-
qiesling the President to send the constitu-
u3nal amendments forthwith to the Executives
Of the several States to be laid before the leg
islatures. The speaker decided that accord
ing TO precedent, the resolution for constitu-
tional amendment should not be submitted to
he President. True, the resolution should
not be presented for the Presidents signature,
because that is unnecessary; but why not
send it to him TO be deposited with the Stat
usss in the Secretary Of states office, aud
copies thereof 70 De sent TO tho States by
Secretary Seward. We think that the most
proper way, and suspect tast all the prees-
dents are that way The resolution was
not received, bat Nc. Bingham said he would
present 10 again on resolution day, Monday.

CURoULIo.--A gentleman in Ashland
thinks he has protected his fruit from the
curculio by smoking his trees with burning
leather. We have tried this and failed, but
perhaps we were not sufficiently thorough.
The same gentleman also dusts his trees with
air Stacked lime, applied by elevating it in
bag on pole which is struck with mall
let. We also learn from gentleman ia,

that by hanging branches OF elder in fruit
trees. also by planting bush at the roots OF
the trees, they raise fruit where they could

LABOR AND SELF LF-CULrURE.--Are labor
and sell cut irreconcilab.s to each other
In the first place, we have seen that man in
the midst of labor may and ought to give
himself to the most important improvements,
that he may cultivate ais sense OF justice his
bsnevoence, and the desire of perfection.
Toll is the school fox these high principles /;
and we have here a strong presumption that,
in other respects. it does not necessarily
blight the soul. Next we have seen that the
most fcuitfll sources Of truth and wisdom are
not books, precious as they are, but expert
ence and observation; these belong to all
conditions. 1t is another important consid-
Grafton that almost all labor demands intel
lectual activity, and is best carried on by
those who invigorate their minds, so that the
two interests, toll and sei-culture, are friend,
90 each other. Il is mind, after all, which
does the work of The world, so that the more
there is Of mind, the more work will be ac-
compished. A man, in proportion as he is
intelligent, makes given forca accomplish a
greater task; makes skill take the place of
muscle, and, with less labor, give better
product Make men intelligent, and they
become inventive, they Gnd shorter processes.
Their knowledge of nature helps them TO turn
its laws to account; to understand the SUB
stances on which they work, and to. seiza on
useful hints which experience continually
furnishes. Il is among workmen that some
of the most useful machines have been con-
trived Spread education, and as the histo
ry of this country shows, there will be no
bounds to useful invenuou.-Dr. Qh1nRiHg.
RHUBARB EoR VINEGAR.-It It may not be
known that an excellent article Of vinegar
may be made by taking the late stalks Of rhu-
barb, and chopping them as one would for
pies or sauce then pour scslding water over
the whole and let it stand on the stove until
we'll cooked then strain off into a suitable
vessel, add one gill Of molasses to each quart
Of the juice; set it 10 sunny place, stir oc-
oasionaly, and in few weeks one may have
stout article of vinegar,
A friend of mine who does not raise the
pie-plant prepares vinegar for table use by
treating the rhubarb which she uses for sauce
or pies to a scald Of hot water, and, pouring
it of, adds the molasses as above. thus i'm
proving the favor OF the stalk to be used for
pies OF sauce, and making saving in the ar
tce Of sugar, as rhubarb so scslded does not
require so much sweetening to render It pala-
table.-N. h. Farmer.
