Bellows Falls-Its Morals and
Literature. VI

A correspondent in this village writes
us pretty sharp letter on the morals and
literature Of this place, and waits us to
agtate the subject of starting yceum.-
Our friend may not be aware that we did
as much some time ago and tbugh it is
rather late in the season, il is of course
never too late to do good. Wehave near
ly come to the conclusion that he fault Of
having no more literary enterprise in our
village is quite as much with the people
generally, as with the young 'aople who
devote SO much more attention to their
heels than their heads. Within the las.
two years we know at least several of these
same young men who ATTEMPTED TO start
lyceum, and We are not aware that the
/" old folks" gave them any encourage
ment certainly not sufficient start.
We say, therefore, let thoe who are
dissatisfied with the present orler OF things
provide substitute for that which now
exists, and then we will see whether our
young people are in a state Of total de-
pravity or not. Young people, by law
Of nature, always have, and always will
desire to associate together. A course OF
lectures, a lyceum or "a working-men's
club, would afford them good opporiuni-
ty. But they don't have it, and as they
will have it-and we had almost said
must have it in some form-they take
other opportunities which are more ques-
tionable, and far less profitable to the
mind. AT present we have no hall of SUI
ficient size for lectures, but an association
might be formed with reference to c5ruse
at future day. In conclusion we say to
the people of this place, if you would
give your children and young people dlt-
ferent and better social and literary advan-
tages than they now enjoy, you must pro-
vide substitute better, and which will
successfully compete, with those they now
have.

SMUGGLING Casa trunk and a
satchel, containing opium and cigars, val
ued at $500, were seized at Georgia Sta
ton last week by the Custom House Off
ceas, for being Struggled into the United
States. Thomas Brown, who halls from
CRANKY, c. F., being absent minded, ar
rived with these packages without having
reported them at frontier Custom House
He had already purchased ticket ior
New York. and had received check fol
his baggage to Springfield, Mass, which
slight error has led him TO form the ac
euaintance Of DIR. Sherman, jailor of Frank
lin County, where he will undoubtedly i'm

There was an increased attendance and interest
at the meeting on Monday evening. q p. Barry
remarked that sheep would winter we'll on good
hay, but thought profitable to feed some grain
Preferred May lambs. C. S. Lake prefers April
lambs feeds hay twice daily grain once recon-
mends regularity in feeding Has formerly fed
oftner, sheep never did better. H H. Kimball
feeds hay three times daily, and grain in the
morning. Prefers early lambs.
Mr. Harlow of Westminster, prefers April lambs,
recommends feeding salt, tar and saltpetre, viz !:
six quarts salt, one gill tar, and half apound OF
saltpetre, mixed docs not say how often. Pre-
fers T. SALT clover hay LIST crop, and feeds three
times daily.
Mr.. Weston from the Upper Meadows, feeds
coarse feed in the morning, and grain at noon ;
feeds four times during the day-has April lambs.
John Foster raises early lambs for the butchers
thinks early lambs less trouble than late ones
feeds sheep hay three times, and grain in the
morning thought they ate hay better and was
better contented if grain was fed in the morning.
Ransom E. Smith has owned great number
of sheep, remarked that he preferred the merino
stock rather than the native, ocks can be improy-
ed by care and selections would select such as
would shear the most pounds of wool, not grease !
lbs. is about an average now, and might be made
six lbs; recommends feeding earlier in the fall
than is customary not too much salt, but ashes
with salt. May lambs. April lambs are not gem
orally so thrifty as May lambs, and often in the
fall the May lambs are the best; has often noticed
that sheep that had but little salt in the summer
looked better in the fall than those that had as
much as they would eat Thinks sheep do best in
pastures well stocked, but not over stocked.
There great variety Of opinions relative
to feeding and kind of salt Some keep salt by
the sheep all the time others feed at intervals,
The subject for consideration next Monday
evening will be the time and manner of washing
and shearing sheep and doing up the WOOL, and
summer management generally.
The Secretary obliged to be absent at the
last meeting, but was grati6ed to find so large a
number present from the north of the town and
from the town of Westminster, and he would res
pectfully invite all who are interested in such an
association to come, join, and become members
Our list now numbers about so; we would gladly
make it larger The society is but three weeks
old-meetings commence at o'clock precisely.

GRAFTON VT, Feb. 5, 1866.
Mr. EDITOR II send the following as an answer
10 your bell question" If a bell goes through
he ordinary motion of ringing will there be a
noise
This question appears so simple that any one
would give an answer readily, but there is an alb
stract principle involved, which decided, enables
Us not only to decide this one, but many others
of similar nature. Sound is plainly one of
these two things: the effect produced on the ear,
or, the cause producing that effect. When we
have decided which of these two is sound, we
have decided this question. If we start upon the
supposition that sound is the effect produced on
the ear by the vibrations of the sounding body,
we shall find that man in a solitary desert may
shout himself hoarse, and yet make no noise, for
there being no ear to be affected by his noise, he
cannot produce the effect called sound.
Again, a skillful musician may become deaf,
and yet play the lvelicst pieces on the Piano and
delight his friends by the soul-stirring melody he
creates but let them depart, leave him alone with
his instrument, he runs his fingers over the keys,
the strings respond with the same vibrations as
before but there is no to hear, all is silence.
The poor fellow can make no music because there
is no one to hear it, but the man who is not thus
afflicted, can seat himself III his place and fill the
room with sweet sounds, simply because he can
hear while the poor fellow who has lost the power
of hearing, but not of making the sweet strains
the instrument viii give forth, can make no music
unless he has friend present to hear This sup
position leads 10 such absurd results that we are
Obliged TO conclude that sound is not the effect
produced on the ear. Taking the other SUPPOSE
ton that sound is the cause producing an effect
on the ear. and we shall find that a man may
shout and make noise If there is no ear to hear.
| Then a musician may become deaf from any
cause, and vet be able to make the piano give
forth sweet music, when he is alone as well as
when he is surrounded by his friends If we fol-
low out every supposable case under this suppose
ton we shall find no such absurd results as in the
other case, but every result is as it should be,
hence we conclude that sound is the cause pro-
ducing an effect on the ear Having reached this
conclusion, we must decide that if bell goes
through the ordinary motion of ringing, there
will be a noise. ALUMNUs

In the answers above j: will be seen the vote
stands yeas 2, nays 4 I; in other words two say
there would be noise, and four that there would
not. Another theory answer is this: Noise is
composed of three parts, so to speak; First the
vibration of the tongue on Nc bell; second the
vibration in the air; and third, the vibration on
the ear hence, if this view be correct, there
would be just two-thirds of . noise Another
view is that the noise Is full and complete ofitsel
the ear being simply the receptacle Of what has
already taken place. A deafsnd dumbperson viii
tell you when there is noise though he does moi
hear it The view taken BY the majority above
however, Is the one taken BY most scholars and
learned people. and il may be considered hazard
Gus to take different one; and though somt
may think the question simple and easily settled

Mr.. EDITOR AS you wish to hear from US on
the " bell" question, will write you what think,
which is, that it is just as you take the definition
of the word noise. If bell goes through the
motion of ringing there will be the same vibration
Of the air whether there be an ear to hear or not
But if there be no ear there will be no perception
of that vibration. Hence, as said before, it de-
ponds on the definition of noise, which, according
to Webster, / should think there must be an ear
or there would be no sound. But know an Ed

Answers to the Bell Question.


Noise or sound is sensation excited in the or
gans Of hearing by the vibrations of the air or
other medium Worcestey's Dictionary.
If this is correct definition Of noise, then it
follows that where there is no ear, there is
no sense Of hearing hence no noise or sound TAX
ing its rise from the vibrations of air caused by a
ringing bell.
If the vibrations Of the air were to be regarded as
sound, then 1t will exist independent of the ear,
but think the vibrations must reach the ear to
make sound. FANNIE.
BELLOWS FALLS HIGm School, Jan. Esd, 1866.
I" If bell goes through the ordinary motion Of
ringing, and there is no ear to hear will there be
a noise e.
Certainly there will for every cause must by
natural law have is effect The ringing Of the
bell is the cause the conclusion of the air is the
first effect the vibration of that sound through
the air is the second effect so of course there must
be sound whether there is an car to hear that
sound or not. RON.
BELLOWS FALLS, Feb. 2, 1866.
| Mr., EDITOR Having noticed in your paper
the question in ieaton TO the BELL If bell goes
through the ordinary motion of ringing, and there
be no ear TO hear, win there be noise !" and also
your wish to hear from the Academies in this Vi
cinity, l called the attention of my philosophy
class to it. Miss Abbott member of the class,
has furnished the following solution
Noise is sound Of any kind, but sound is an i'm
preston made on the organs Of hearing by the
vibrations of elastic bodies transmitted through
the air or some other medium and by the condi-
tons of question, there being no organ Of hear
ing upon which it could make an impression,
there could be no sound and ifno sound no noise.
