comments. In speaking of Virginia, he
spoke OF the state OF society there, condi-
ton of the people, their feelings towards
the Yankees and northern men, prospects
OF emigration for raising stock, especially
sheep and wool. He stated that he thought
man could keep flock Of sheep there
of 1000 for less than it would cost to keen
400 here, and that the advantages for rails
ing stock of all kinds in Virginia is about
in that proportion as compared with Yer
mont He went to Virginia with 1000
sheep which he drove all the way, and
which cost him about SIS cents each when
he landed in Culpepper County. He also
gave an account of his visit to Gettysburg
Cemetery and other places, which was re-
ceived with much interest.
The club propose to meet every Mon
day evening to consider various subj. cts
tending TO promote the interests of aeri-
culture and also mechanic arts. The |
subject for next Monday evening will be,
Sheep husbandry, the best breeds for
Vermont climate and soil, and the prepa-
ration of wool for market" The hour Of
meeting is z o'clock, and general invita-
ton to attend and participate in the meet
ing is extended and il gives us much
pleasure to record the fact that another
prosperous club of this kind has been or
ganized in this vicinity.
