general complaint; ana Sucn nave De-
sired that the Standard be published
earlier in the week. We have conclu-
ded to accommodate them and issue
our paper earlier than any in the state.
We shall issue no paper next week
as the time is too short from Thurs
day to Monday night-only three
working days-in which to get our
paper out, so we shall let one paper
60 and make up the deficiency in some
other way.
PREMIUM FOR LOCAL NEws.-Wish-
ing to make the Standard the best me-
dunn for conveying the local news,
we offer the following premiums: To
the one who will send us the largest
number of local items during the year,
commencing with July q, we will
give S25 in cash to the one sending
us the next largest number, $50; to
che one sending US the next largest
number, $40; and to the one sending
US the fourth largest, So; and if any
one that will enter the lists for either
of these sums fails to secure either of
them we will pay such person twenty
five cents for every accepted item fur
nished.
The ladies, when they have a mind
to, make excellent itemizers. If they
see fit to compete, we offer them the fol
lowing premium: Any lady that will
send US one hundred accepted local
items, occurring in Orleans county, OF
in Sheffield, Sutton, Hardwick or Isl
and Pond, we will give a $50 sewing
machine ; and if she fails to secure the
machine we will pay her twenty-five
cents for each item so furnished. W.
think this is a good offer. Ladies
will you try to earn a machine ? You
surely can pick up an average Of TIVE
items week during the year. W.
must stipulate in addition that thos
who compete for these premiums mus
not furnish locals for any other count,
paper as it is unfair to ask US to pa,
our money for other peoples benefit
aye cannot serve two masters"
LYNDON.-We spent three day
last week in Lyndon, on what is call
; ed Pudding Hill, visiting the famil
Of Mr.. R. R. Willmot, formerly of thi
, village, who has most beautiful SIT
uation; has a most excellent farm
and it would do one good to look a
his crops and eat the yellowest of al
butter, made by his excellent helpmeet
We think the land in this portion O
the town is something superior, an
if farmed as it should be, the soil mus
produce crops the most bountiful.-
We think we never saw better gras
laod, while the lay of the countr
about gives one feelings decidedly DC
etical and pleasant. Give US none
and we could make a paradise o.
pudding Hill" though its name doe
not smack greatly of "Siloa's brook.
That part Of the town near the raj
road shops, and called Lyndonville,
improving with great rapidity, and
p we think destined to be a place G
o considerable business Importance
!. Here is one of the finest depots
k New England.
III PRoLIFIC.-Mr. @. P. Bean of Ira
Il burgh, has a swarm of bees that ha'
p swarmed three times this summer
Two of the new swarms have swar
u ed twice each, and the third ha
If swarmed once, and there are stro
P. tokens of its swarming again in a fl
w days. We think this story cam
- we'll be beaten. Eight swarms, t
I'd product of one hive in one season
Oh good; and the probabilities are tt
a the end is not yet.
Nv CRAFTsBURY.-The new Acadel

~ FL. Thompson have been secured
the fall term, and a good school is
). pected.
10 GREENsBoRO.-The beautiful G
'' plan lake in Greensboro, is deserved
becoming quite summer resort; q
w. no place can be found more rich
natural scenery, or beautiful in loo
l.. ity. 1t combines all the advanta
las of retirement from business bust
sic pure mountain air, lake breezes, f
asst trout, and varied landscape views
ew degree rarely to be found even
zen the more popular watering places.
