We had the pleasure Of personally
witnessing the REPETITION Of the play of
Ten Nights in Bar-room" last evening
at Stowe. The vestry of the new church
was packed, and the acting did credit to
the amateurs who portrayed the scenes in
this great drama. The delineations of
the characters in the play were almost
faultless, and equal to many eff the stars
who shine on city boards. I" Rough Dia-
mondr was the concluding farce, and
equally we'll played.

Work SUsPEsDED.-Somc of the con-
tractors have suspended work on the St.
Johnsbury end of the railroad through the
Lamoille Valley. Wagg & Son say they
have not been paid in full, and McCarty
has also a grievance.-Argus.
1t is somewhat singular that some Of
the papers in the State publishing items
in regard 10 the Lsmoillc Valley II. II.
put them in such shape as to give false
impression to the public. We do not
claim that it is done Intentionally by the
publishers, or to injurc the peoples conf
dence in the project, but it is nevertheless
done too often. The facts in regard to
the above item are that the corporation
has paid the contractors every month for
their work according to the terms of the
contract, and the company have $4,000
now on hand ahead of the work, and mean
to keep so. The firm of Wagg & Son and
Mr.. McCarty, mentioned above, are sub
contractors and have no dealings with the
R. r. company. The contractors and
sub-contractors have separate contracts,
and if they have any "bones to pick" it
is no concern of the company, except to
see that the men are paid for their labor.
Wagg & Son have resumed work.

SESSION OF WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25, 1871.
Discussion-Topic: Best method Of
conducting farm.
o. Wiswell. In conducting and improv-
ing farm, many farmers are prone to let
brakes and bushes grow and take up a
large amount of land which is rendered
useless My method Of killing brakes, is to
NOW them down and throw them off on the
grass; thus they serve to protect the roots
of the grass, and also serves as manure.
If any one is not successful in killing
brakes in this manner, will lend them
my sythe to do it. We have heard it said
that the mechanic ought to get better pay
than the farmer, because it takes him Ion
ger to learn his trade ; if it is really so,
have yet to learn it, for the farmers trade
is lifelong one.
A. Boardman. The earlier the crops
are got in the surer they are. Many
pillow to much, more then they can till to
advantage. | believe that we should give
our attention more to grasses and stock
raising. | not think it is profitable to feed
the hogs too much grain; my method is te
feed considerable milk with grain. Iclaim
it is poor policy for the farmer 10 buy for.
eign fertilizers. The best way is to make
and save what he can on his farm.
8. Sumner. In looking around we fine
that a large share Of the pastures are over

powers Of description. led them over the
enchanted ground. Most visitors Who
have visited this famous Valley say il Is
far beyond their powers Of description,
aud have made bat little attempt beyond
saving that II was the most beautiful spot
on earth; but Mr.. Ward fOundsadjec,ives
enough to give bis hearers a pretty good
description Of il, and make them feel
something as he did when beholding its

MIR. Nesmiih, late proprietor Of the
American House, left on Saturday last for
WatertOwn, Mass. TO take charge Of the
Boston Union Market House in that town,
located FIVE miles out of Boston on the
Fitchburg Il. Il. The house is large and
entirely new, aud is to be furnished in the
latest aud most approved style. In con-
nection with the house there are large and
commodious stock-yards designed for the
Union Market, which will be under the
supervision Of Mr. Nesmith who will furn-
ish feed, etc, to the stock. The house
and yards were built by the X. X. Co.
Mr., Nesmith has taken "largo job, q"

he will prove himself equal to it.

sion from Rev. Mr.. Ward, on the Yosem-

DIo LEWIS TO YOUNG WOMEN WHO WANT
HusBASDs.--Among the young men in the
matrimonial market only small number
are rich, and, in America, such rarely
make good husbands But the number Of
those who are just beginning in life, who
are filed with ambition, who have fu-
ture, is very large. Those are worth hav-
ing. But such will not, dare not, ask
you to join them, while they see you so
idle, silly, and gorgeously attired. Let
them see that you are Industrious econo-
mical, with habits that secure health and
strength; that your life is earnest and
real; that you would be willing to begin
at the beginning in life with the man you
would consent to marry.

WHY JEFFERSON DIED PCoR.-It ia
related of jefferson that he might have
been IL rich and not poor man, as he
was, but for the multitude of admiriug
visitors who thronged Monticello from
years end tn years end, and literally
ate him out of house, and hnme. AS
many as fifty strangers. sometimes
swfTmed in upon him in single after
noon. They came on horseback and
in carriages, and dozens of them stayed
all night, and many of them stayed for
days.and even weeks. No other man
of whom we have. any record was SO
overrun with visitors for SO long pc
Rod. They came from all lands and
belonged to aluIost every rank in life.
1t WAS not possible to turn them away.
Jefferson had to stand the punishment.
and he stood it hravely, and with nr
least outward serenity of spirit, als
though his inward struggles were terri.
BILE. He finally sold his library, per-
laps the best then in America, and the
choicest possession he bad on earth.
He also sold some of his land. A few
friends, aud even the Legislatures of u
few States, tried t" help him. But
these Efforts were Of no avail. His af-
fairs grew worse and worse. He final
'y petitioned the Legislature of Vir-
ginia for permission to dispose of his
estates by lottery Int before the act
was passed he died, and his estate was
sold at auction by hiscrctlitors, aud Ills
heirs were turned from their ancestral
door forever.
