| FREQUENTLY see in the papers inquir-
les about the best way Of making small ice
houses for farmers use. Having had some
experience in this line, l will give it for
the benefit Of the many farmers who need
ice, yet think it is costly luxury, beyond
their reach. Ten years ago | built me an
icehouse twelve feet square inside, in the
north end of my wood-house, built double
wallis, and filled in with hemlock sawdust

inches of sawdust under it and good drain

VI. Council Of Censors.

Mn. EDITOR Permit me to make ono
or two suggestions through the NEwspEALET
relative to our Council of Censors, this be.
ing the year in which the septennial ses'
sion of the Council is to be held.
Several of our State papers have discuss
ed the method of nominating the gentlemen
who are to compose the same, and | no.
tice that they have not succeeded in arriy-
ing at very unanimous conclusions, excep-
ting in one particular: that it is about time
nominations were made, for the State con-
stitution prescribes that the election of the
Council shall takeplace in March. Some
have proposed that County conventions be
held for the purpose-as each county is
entitled to one, except Grand Isle, which,
by common consent. seems to be cleft out
in the cold;" by others it has been pro-
posed that Republican State convention
be called and by others, more magnani-
nous, that the Republican and Democrat
ic State committees hold conference and
jointly nominate ticket.
Below, have named ticket which
believe will be satisfactory to all. The
duties of the Council are, as | understand
them, to investigate and report whether
the State constitution has been kept invio-
late; whether the legislative, judicial and
executive branches of our State govern
ment have performed Retrospective duties
in satisfactory manner or not in what
way the public money has been disposed of;
whether taxes are equally laid, etc. We
want live, energetic men; we want none
who have political axes to grind; none but
those who are ably qualified to thoroughly
investigate and inquire into every matter
which the constitution empowers them SO
to do. In my list | have named three
Democrats, which is fair proportion, |
believe. Their names are designated in
italics.

"Amusemnts."

As the Winter advances, evening amuse-
ments are becoming more plenty Dona-
tions, exhibitions, concerts, and festivals,
are the order for January. They are
very pleasant,-indeed they fill up many
long cold evening agreeably and profit
ably.
On the evening of the 22d of January
we had the pleasure of riding to Cam
bridge with the Morrisyille Coruet Band,
to attend an exhibition; at the Methodist
Church, and to assist them with music
The ride, hough theday was extremely
cold, was delightful one, for Doty had
provided us a nice sleigh and four, with
plenty of robes to keep out the singing
cold, and make the ride comfortable one.
We arrived at Cambridge about p. NJ,
and unloadel our baggage at Mr.. Waits
hotel where we were waited upon by a
committee who took us to the house Of
Rev. Harvey Webster, where we found a
table spread most sumptuously. This was
not disagreeable prospect for men whose
appetites had been sharpened by long
ride, and | presume Mr.. Webster will tes-
tify that we partook Of the supper most
heartily. Indeed we could not help doing
SO, and we wish to thank Mr. Webster
and his friends, and will say further that
we never sat down to better supper and
that we shall ever have pleasant thoughts
for him and his home.
After our appetites had been 50 we'll
satisfied, we were ready to do our best for
them in music, for we thought we must
6zov very geN to pay for the supper.
Did we succeed Or not in furnishing good
music, is not for me to state. The enter
tainment opened with singing the choir,
followed by tableaux and charades. AZ
these came debate by the Young Mems
Debating Club upon the following qucs-
ton: "Does Washington deserve more
honor than Lafayette p This was very
ably discussed upon both sides, but must
not forget one of the friends and support
ers of Lafayette, who in his zeal for his
hero and his broken English, made much
laughter. Then came ''Uncle Sam and
his Daughters" deserving him one by one,
regardless Of his kind care, but like the
children of the real Uncle Sam, were
brought back and reunited with the fam
lily. This part Of the entertainment was
very well acted and worthy of remark.
The evening was concluded by poem
from Mrs. G. D. Gates. 1t was very spi-
cy, containing sharp hits upon the isms
and popular topics of the day.
We then returned to Mr.. Waits hotel,
and the very hospitabe man proved for
us another supper, and entertained US in
his usual hospitable manner through the
night After sleep and breakfast, we were
feeling well refreshed and ready for a
start. The sleigh and four were ordered
up, and we gave Mr.. Wait three rousing
cheers (not forgetting to blow the whistle
and to give three for the Lamoille Valley
Railroad, aud were off.
The Morrisyille Cornet Band will not
soon forget their first trip, and in conclus-
ion, we will say that if the reader should
chance to go to Cambridge, be sure and
stop at Waits hotel if you wish to be well
used, for he knows how to do it.

Local Matters.

One week ago last Friday. Mr.. Mi
cab Douglas of Stowe, while on a visit to
Mr.. Denio's family in this town, and en-
gagged in blanketing his horse, was kicked
by the animal in the chest. On Wednes-
day last he died, probably from the effects
of the injury received from the kick; al
though his physician thinks that had he
been a well man, he would not have died
from the effects of the kick alone.

Many Of the most efccting and most
important scenes described in the Bible,
transpired under the splendors of oriental
night. Sodom and Egypt, Beersheba and
Babylon, Carmel and Gilboa Olivet and
Emmaus, Jerusalem and Galilee, have
each, by night been witnesses of the pow
er and glory Of the omnipotent Jehovah.
The author of " Night Scenes in the
Bible" has followed the shadow Of night
across the landscape of divine revelation,
and grouped together the sacred scenes
which are made awful or impressive by
the mantle Of darkness.

and beautiful gems from the mine of bible

PORTLAND AND OGDENsBURG RAILROAD.
The friends of this enterprise in Bald
win met at Davis Hall on the 18th inst,
s. s. Strout called the meeting to order,
and read the report Of the Stockholders,
meeting in Portland. David Boothby
was then chosen President Of the meeting,
and II. Il. Flint, Secretary. After dis
cussing various matters concerning the
road, committee of nine we're chosen to
look out the bcst route for the road through
the town, consisting of Il. G. Noble, Capt.
j. Chase, d. T. Richardson, Eleazer Flint,
Jr., NJ. s. Cram, s. S. Strout, j. G. SAM

gentlemen are all interested in the road,
and will do all in their power to aid the
engineers in slecting the most favorable
locality for railroad through the town,

The books were voted upen for subscrlr-
ton, and the Secretary, Mr.. Bisbee, with
his pen already dipped in ink, proceeded
to sim the moderate sum of 100000.
The Commissioners then voted that the
books be closed, and then adjourned.
Our general railroad law expressly states
that, "erety person Subscribing for stock
in any railroad in this State, shall be re-
CURED to pay The Commissioners at the
time Of subscribing .f0e, percea'tum on the
amount Of stock for aobicd he shall sub
scribe"
This would require Mr.. Blsbee to pay
$4,000 down, and, as our twenty eastern
friends were probably unable to find that
amount of stamps about their clothes, they
proposed that notes should be taken for
this five per cent. When this proposition
was made before the Commissioners, Mr..
l.. w. Leach, one of the Commissioners
from Enosburgh, asked if the law did not
require the per cent. to >e paid down.
The Chairman, however, apparently did
not hear him; and proceeded to put the
question to vote, and the basis for sub
scription was adopted.
The Secretary, Mr.. Bisbee, is a lawyer,
and not being burdened with $4,000, he
should have brought his General Statutes
OF Vermont 50 as to have posted himself
and his friends while in solemn conclave,
so that they could have proceeded in le-
gal manner.
The law also states that =
"All subscriptions for stock shall be
payable absolutely, and no secret agree
ment, nor any understanding OF condition
not inserted in the terms Of the subsGrip-
ton, shall affect the right of the corpora
tion to enforce payment thereof"
Now if Mr.. Bisbee is worth even one
tenth of the sum for which he subscribed,
he has heretofore been " hiding his light
under bushel;" and if the law is enforce
ed and he is required topay the 100000,
he will probably be obliged to mortgage
his law books to raise the amount.
We have not learned whether the east
ern men had revenue stamps enough to
afhx to the $4,000 note. IF they had not,
being in majority, they could have cas-
| lily voted them on, or voted that revenue
stamps were not necessary.
After the ad jour4ment, the eastern men
stoutly declared that they were honest in
their intentions and did not wish to pre-
vent our having a railroad. They mag
unanimously offered to lease us this end of
the road, knowing very well that the mon
ey could never be raised to build the road
under lease.
Notwithstanding their protestations of
friendship, from the spirit which seemed
to actuate them throughout the whole pro-
ceeding, we are forced to the conviction
that, with but little hope of building their
10 miles, they came here with the dclib.
crate intention of acting the "dog in the
manager" in preventing us from building
our % miles.
We are not entirely without hopes that
some satisfactory arrangements may yet
be made with them. One thing however,
is certain: it will take more than twenty
men in Orleans County to prevent the peo-
pie Of Franklin County from having rail-
road. They have it in their power to
block our wheels for few.months, but we
can probably easily obtain redress from
the next Legislature.

Another Patent.

We frequently hear persons exclaim-
" another PATENT" with an impatient ges-
ture and grimace, as if a misfortune had
befallen the world. We are not sure but
ourselves may have been caught using this
same expression and manner. 1t does
seem, sometimes, as if there was to be no
end to patent rights and machines the prin-
cipal utility of which is to enable the in
ventor or some sharp agent to gull and
cheat the community. So much of this is
in vogue that we do not wonder that peo-
pie are little shy of patents and inven-
tons. But all this should not make us
forget that many new inventions are Of
