GREENSBORO.
OLD AGE.-Silas Randall of Greens
boro, though he is over 80 years of
age, is still able to read distinctly
without the aid Of glasses.
Thompson in his Gazetteer of Yer
mont, states that the highest cultivat-
ed land in North America is found in
Vermont and Father" Hall has been
heard to say repeatedly that Moulton
Hill in Greensboro was the highest
cultivated point in Vermont. Putting
the two authorities together, Green's
boro certainly enjoys an elevated dis
tinction. 1t may be reasonably quest
Toned however whether these authori.
ties are now entirely accurate.
