May eth, in the evening, highly in
tclligent. audience filled the VI. T. Church,
and listened to "A cmperance lecture by
Mr.. q. NJ. butcher, the reformed. Part OF
the lecture was very good, while other
portions, We thought, partook too much
of the spirit of levity to make the lee
turc interesting aud profitable. Pointless
jokes are out of place in temperance dis-
course, and we hope those who seek to
edify and instruct the people upon this
all-absorbing theme will aim more to
reach the treason of men and women, and
spare us their witticisms. Mr.. butcher
is good speaker, however, and evidently
sincere man in his efforts to stay this
giant evil in its course of desolation and
death.
1t is stated upon good authority that
our friend and townsman, Rev. Joseph
Steele, formerly of Castleton, VT, has, by
the recent death of sister in the State
of New York, been put Tor will soon be
put into possession of $4,000. We are
glad our worthy friend was remembered
by his sister in manner to render his
old age free from pecuniary care and anx-
iety, for no man in our town is more uni
versally and deservedly respected and
beloved.
From a gentleman who crossed the
mountain from Hancock to Ripton, the

Loaf Inn in Ripton and the post-office in
Hancock, the snow still remains a great
distance three feet deep in the road. The
mail is carried by man on foot, it being
almost impossible for horse to get along.
Our County Commissioner, Mr.. L. H
Stow, has appointed as agent to sell

Mr.. Oliver Severance has commenced
preparations for laying the foundations
for another new building of two stores,
adjoining the one now (recently) erected
