richest farms in the state. 1t consists of
about 200 acres, and lies one mile east
from Lake Champlain, nearly equi-dist-

town. They give especial attention to
dairying, and formerly have made their

and put in operation near, early in the
spring, which will relieve them Of much
Of their labor. They now keep 90 cows,
valued at from $50 to 500 each The

their hospitality is frequently tested and
as we can testify, not found wanting.

young man of talent. 1t was his first

friends. His style of language and deptt
of thought were sure indication that the
