From the Vermont Autograph and Remarkor.
Windham County Newspapers.

Aside from the present issues from the
press in Windham county, hope shall
be pardoned and not thought to exhibit
distasteful and foolish vanity if just to
show how | remember reading Of, and
seeing of the earlier publications issued
in that county. According to an arti-
Gle in Thompson's Gazetteer, it would
appear that the very first starting of any
newspaper printing within the limits of
Vermont was in 1878, at Westminster,
when paper was issued for time cali
ed, Off / remember right the Vermont
Journal, afterwards removed to and re-
sumed at Windsor. The next l learn
of was the Federal Galaxy, published at
Brattleboro about the close of the last
century. The next l find mentioned,
was the Reporter, published some sixty
years ago. The first remember know
ing of and seeing, was the Bellows Falls
Intelligencer, somewhere about 1917 or
Is. The Vermont Chronicle, at Wind
sor, was first started here. AS long ago
as 1889, there was paper published at
Bellows Falls, called the Vermont
Times. So you see, friend Swain, you
have had an older Times there than
yours. Then there was the Bellows
Falls Gazette, edited by John w. Moore;
next the Bellows Falls Journal, the
name of whose publisher I've forgotten.
In Brattleboro again, 1 recollect now
seeing little paper conducted by some
of the inmates of the Vermont Asylum
for the insane, called the Asylum Jour
nal, and lastly, recollect and have had
a paper published either at Brattleboro
or Newfane, called Windham County
Democrat. I do not suppose that the
foregoing named papers were all that
have appeared in Windham County, but
they are all | can recall to mind aside
from those now published.

observed pair of red squirrels about
his corn barn, and recently observed one
going up post of the barn with an ear
of corn in its mouth. On going up into

filled three barrels nearly full of ears of
corn, amounting in all to fully six BUSH

B. Immediately carried back the corn to
its proper place, since which but one
squirrel has been seen about the place,
and that one he has been trying to catch,
but in vain, and the little fellow is hard
at work again filling the empty barrels.
