DRAMATIC.-Miss Alice Raymond's
Theatrical Troupe, of Boston, as will be
seen by our advertising columns, is to
give four entertainments at Academy
Hall, commencing Friday evening, and
continuing until Tuesday, May 4th.
BY the encomiums of the State Press,
we should judge the company to be a
meritorious one. The. Montpelier Jour
nal describes the presentation of Gun
der the Gaslight," Saturday evening
in that place thus:
Miss Raymond's Peachblossom "
was excellently done, and gave uniyer-
sal satisfaction. Mr.. DelanO's "Snor-
key" was capital; while Miss Jamison
fully sustained the reputation she has
earned in the cities. DelanO is an old
Boston Museum Stock of some four
teen years standing, and car safely en-
ter the lists with any we have ever had
finely rendered, and the railroad scene
was all that could tie asked, winning
warm and long-cOntinued applause.

ENS.-The sugar season is now about
over, and contrary to general expecta-
ton at the commencement of the seas
on, on account of the great depth of
SNOW then in the woods, the crop is full
ly equal to if not above the average
yield, while the amount of syrup made,
we think, is greater than ever before.
Our information extends over nearly
every County in the State, and from all,
with perhaps the exception of Orleans,
we have accounts of large yields, when
have found ready market at remuner-
alive prices. There were sent from the
Brattleboro station alone, 10y express to
eastern markets, between the 9Th and
18th insts., 1851 lbs. Maple sugar is
now selling ut from 8 to II cents per
pound.
CAMBRIDGE.-As Jonn A. Blaisdell
and Miss Aucelia Porter were crossing
the river near Cambridge Borough, on
Saturday last, the boat filled and they
were with difficulty rescued from their
perilous situation; also at the same
place young man by the name of La
Bounty took an involuntary bath, that
required help to bring him out of.
On the Oath and 25th inst, the La
noble river at Cambridge again COM
menced to rise and families that had
but just returned to their homes that
they left on Wednesday and Thursday,
on account of high water, are making
arrangements to migrate again to high
err ground. During the freshet of last
week all Of the cellars at the East end
of the village were converted into els
terms, in several instances the water
being two feet deep on the lower floor.

Spencer, of Salisbury, for $4,000.
The Register says that The water in
Otter Creek, at Middlebury, reached a
point within about a foot of that reached
in 1862. Near Ok Bow bridge the track
was submerged for half a mile, and for
short distance washed away. During
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
large crowds of people stood upon the
bridge watching the debris come down
and go over the falls. There were fem
ces, whole and in parts, bridges in like
state of transition, lumber, brush, &C.,
&c. The damage to fences alone, in
Otter Creek Valley, will not fall short
of thousands.
The bulkhead OF the Middlebury
Mfg. Co.'S. fume gave way, and cannot
be replaced for some time, which will
be serious damage to the mill on that
side of the river Part of the dam ac-
cross the river at the Papermill bridge,
