hibited a new rotary harrow, which is
said to be an improvement on the old
fashioned kind Also, one of Walter A.
Woods self-raking reapers.
There were various other machines
such as horse hoe, straw cutter, cult
vator, tanning mill, and las: of all came
that much abused patent right invention
the washing machine. There were
two OF these interesting family improve
ments on exhibition, and the owner of
each insisted upon showing the partc-
ular merits of his own machine and the
great disadvantages of the competing
one.
Among the mechanical works were a
couple children's sleds from the works of
Colby Brothers, Waterbury, painted by
Abner Crossman. On the top of one Of
them was picture Of moving railroad
train under full Roadway. The cars
were lettered ''P. x O. II. r." and di-
rectly in front of the approaching loco
motive was cat, with back and tail
well up. For some reason the artist let
tered this feline animal, "Montpelcr."
w. |. Smart of Boston exhibited
what is called Adamantine paint-some-
thing which when dry, gives rich hard
gloss, as though the work was varuish-
ed. 1t is recommended for being more
durable than common paints
Geo. w. Cook of this town, had on
! exhibition some nice harnesses consisting
OF an elegant single, and fancy pair
driving harnesses, also pair heavy work
harnesses, blankets, lap robes, etc The
harnesses were all manufactured b. Mr..
Cook, and gave ample proof of his abil-
ity to do iir>t-class work.
Messrs. Spaulding X Fletcher did
rather an extensive thing in the matter
of exhibiting their wares. They had
ten or twelve stoves on exhibition. be
sides all the other necessary household
articles, such as tin ware, etc, etc. In
one OF their stoves, in order to convince
the crowd Of its particular merits over all
competing stoves, these gentlemen kept Il
good coal fir constantly Oh hand Tie
public are no doubt fully convinced bv
tins time-it they never knew it before
that Mcs~rS Spaulding X Fletcher. OF
ST. Johnsbury, have for sale 1T their
shop, an extensive assortment of the
same kind of goods which they had ON
exhibition.
{. :. Hastings exhibited a case OF
real Havana and Ilavana-fillcd cigar,
which were made at his cigar manutac-
tory on Railroad street.
The boot and shoe line was well rep
resented 10y d. Strcetcr, X. c. Vaughn

CAsTLETON.--The saw mill of Harrison
Smith, located half way between Castle
ton and Poultney, near Hosford crossing,
was entirely consumed by fire last Satur-
day night, between the hours of twelve
and one o'clock. No insurance Mr..
Smith will have a new mill in running
order, with improvements, by the first of
May.
During the severe gale of Wednesday,
Rev. q. Maynard's dwelling house situat-
ed on South street, was totally destroyed
by fire between one and three o'clock.
The furniture in the lower part Of the
house was mostly saved, but that in the
upper story was total loss, and was in
sured for one thousand dollars in the
Farmers Mutual, of Montpelier.
-Bachelder has sold one-half interest
in his hotel to Seneca Field, Esq, for
twelve thousand dollars. Mr.. Fields son
will be associated with Bachelor in con-
Quoting the house after the first of April.
1t is rumored that an ex-landlord ia
about purchasing the Moulton hotel pro-
perry, and will fit it up for e modern
hotel or summer boarding house for city
guests. This building was occupied as
public house and post Office between
thirty and forty years. The late Samuel
Moulton was the landlord and the post-
master that length of time.

The Voice i'm the ParIor.

Since his fathers death Guy Bri,ton,
with his old housekeeper, had lived alone
at the Elms. A naturally retiring dis
position had combined with the circum-
stances of his early training 10 make him
avoid society and although still young,
he seemed to the villagers already middle
aged. A less healthful nature might have
proved upon itself, growing morbid and
morose with solitude, but Britton's mind
and hand were alike too busy to drop for
lack of exercise. Indoors he had his
books for company outside there were
his farm laborers to be directed, and a
hundred plans of improvement to be ar
ranged and matured. Nature, whom he
loved, opened for him page of wonder
full Examinations. His lands streatched
along river valley unsurpassed in quiet
beauty full of still places where, shut in
by the thick foliage of the wood from all
harmonious sights and sound, one might
sit as it were, between two heavens, the
one reaching far and blue above, to other
mirrored in the smooth stream below.
1t was in these years of self-contained
and active restfulness, to use a seeming
paradox, that Britton gathered strength
for very different after-life. Bnt it is
not of that Notwithstanding its roots
deeply into the foundations Of society.
and overarching 30 many burdrned and
sorrowful ones with its brneficert show
that my story has to do.
Adjoining the Films was th. summer
residence of the Gibsons. a family OF little
education or native refinement, who, hay-
ing been suddenly made rich by specula-
ton, devoted their best efforts to the task
OF maintaining an appearance becoming
their wealth. Season by season Britton
dreaded the opening Of the house The
very presence of his neighbors, with their
| train of company, their snowy dress, and
boisterous mirth, seemed to hurt the sim
pilc1ty OF his own home. Mrs. Gibson,
confusing her servants with contradictory
| orders, or scolding them for real or fancied
remissness, little suspected that the tone
In which she exercised her brief authority
was itself a proof of her nnfitness for the
circles to which she aspired. The familiar
friendship of the master of the elms was a
good upon which her heart was set, and
she piled poor Guy with her most trans
parent blandishments-he grooming in
spirit, meanwhile, to see how utterly thew
were wasted.
Going one day to speak with Mr.. Glib
son, on some business, Guy, as he came
near the house, heard voice singing. He
could not distinguish the words. but the
melody seemed familiar. He Thought he
must have heard it long ago. and as he
listened the perplexed memory shaped it
self into vision of his mother rocking
back and forth in summer twilight, and

Storm Items.
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
The storm of Wednesday was more
wide spread than was anticipated, and in
some sections was more severe than that
of the Goth of November. 1t was q
strange storm, and proved not only
unique, but of remarkable severity in
both wind and snow, and was in few
places more quiet than in this place. 1t
began with u fast and furious fall of snow,
in heavy fakes and scattered before a
rushing, gusty southeast wind. And so
it continued, with an occasional interval
of quiet, until about sunset. In our viii
lago very little harm was done beside
slight damages to buildings and fences,
and the discomfort of sloppy streets and
the bin ding storm. Elsewhere the rec
ord is varied, especially in the sur
rounding towns From the reports ii
would seem it travelled from the south,
spending the night in Washington, but
with much less violence than it grew to
during the day, and with torrents of rain
instead of snow. 1t prevailed at New
York from a III. till p. m, lasting just
twelve hours. The November gale was
different from this in many respects.
That one lasted only about half hour in
its mad fury, while this one lasted for
four hours in itsworst severity. We give
some of the items hereabout and else.
where :
Mr. L. Carpenters large barn was
blown down.
Frank Halc's barn 40x28 was blown
down, and is quite loss to him in add
dition to the burning of his house some
time since. The barn was estimated to
be worth $500.
The school house in Barnes district
was uuroofed.
In North Chittenden the wind pre-.
vailed with great severity, blowing in
windows ami doors and great damage
doue upon rnost of the farms 1t is said
| to be the heaviest wind ever known in
that section Nv the 'soldest inhabitant.'
The hay barn Of Lewis |. Winslow was
demoli.hed. A hay and cattle barn be.
longing to Russell Wood was torn down
in ueh IL way at to kill three COWS and
injuring three others q roof was taken
| FROM a barn on the Cook farm owned by
the Messrs. Ripleys.
AT Brandon the wind howled and
ragged with, wonderful fury. A portion
of the roof OF the Branden House barn was
blown off. The spire of the Congregation
al church was turned over in such man.

it sticking therein, or in other words re.

The mail train over the Rutland and
Washington, notwithstanding the carry.
ing around process, was only about an
hour late last evening.
The Cheshire Railroad is badly block
AIDED, and no regularity of trains.

fallen north to trouble them. On the east.

Saying, nov for fro'ic, for ne fun.
I'll sweep thro' the va ieys II, visit the noun

I'll cut up some 'nisshitf, before the days done.

With voice loud and startling, rushed ON oe,

With their buildings ERASED CAIN.
He next reached the village, resolved none tc

Coming IN with Il loud squall, taking all unaware
Unroofing the houses with terrible crash,
Uplifting the shutters, breaking window and sash
Raising high in the air, the clothes from the line
O'erturning the hogpen and frightening the swine
And Biddy who rushing to see what's to pay,
And thus tits the same all over the town,
Chimneys and fences alike are blown down;
Barheaded men look round them displeased,
For the hats they once wore have gone with tht

Doing more mischief than can relate;
