The LINE STORM" HUMBUG.-
Among the popular superstitions is one
that we are to have heavy storm about
the time of the vernal and autumnal
e9uinoxes. When a storm does come
at that time it is noted, but when it is
dropped from the programme no one
thinks of the omission, and so the notion
continues to prevail. A gentleman of
this city, who has kept record of the
weather, the temperature and force and
direction of the wind for many years,
has taken the pains to look back to the
FIVE days preceding and FIVE days follow
ing the 21st of each month, as far back
as 1842-thirty years-and he finds that
there have been no more violent storms
during that part of March and Septem-
Der, in all those years, than there have
been in any other months One Of the
most violent storms occurred in August,
and the storms in the winter months have
averaged great deal more violent than
those which have come at or near the
equinox. In such a matter as this, a
record is much more to be depended on
than ones memory or general impress
sions.-Newburyport Herald.

A JUsT APPRECIATION OF THE VALUE
OF THE COUNTRY PREss.-The follow
ing testimonial from j. B. Dlnsmore,
Esq, will be read with interest, as based
upon varied experience in advertising.
My opinion OF the relative value Of
city and country newspapers as adver-
tising mediums, is decidedly in favor of
the country papers, price and circula-
ton being equal.
] should prefer to have my advertise
ment inserted in country paper having
500 circulation rat er than have it in
500 copies of a city daily paper. The
country readers have fewer papers and
more leisure, and consequently read their
papers more thoroughly and take better
care of them, while a daily paper after
being glanced at is thought no more of
than last years almanac. My opinion
is based on twelve years study and ex.
perience in the business.

SHELDON, Oct. 25, 1871.


RURAL LIFE IN GERMANY.--The Ger
mans at home don't live in farm houses
in the country, but wholly in villages.
They live so uncomfortably that they
must think 1t privilege to emigrate to
this country.
In travelling through the rural districts
of Germany one sees many interesting
sights. The first thing that strikes an
American is, that they have no farm or
issoated farm-houses, as in the United
States. For here the country people all
live in villages, from which they 60 out
in all directions to cultivate their differ
ent tracts of land.
These villages spot the whole country.
As far as the eye can reach one can see
them in all dii ections. They lie at no
great distance from each other, there be-
ing one in every two square miles. One
OF these contains ordinarily about fifty
houses, which, however, with the barns,
stables, ETC., do not occupy more space
than the outbuildings of an ordinary
farm in the United States.
The people seem to be huddIed up in
close quarters. The houses are very
small and low. They are built mostly of
brick and covered with red tiles (baked
clay,) but not unfrequently they are COW
cred with straw. On the top Of the straw
the grass is often seen to sprout, so that
the roofs of the houses look as green as
the ground.
The public buildings of every village
are windmill and beer-house, for all
the grain in Germany is ground with
windmi Is, the wind being more regular
than in the United States, and so furnish
es cheap and convenient driving-power.
One accordingly sees windmill turning
ON nearly every hill.
The beer-house is place of general
resort in the evenings, for both the men
and the women of the village get togeth-
er to chat and drink in social unreserve.
To every five or six villages there is
church, and generally tavern.
In looking over the land one sees no
fences, but the land Of one man is separ-
ated from that of another by sward Of
gras, about twelve inches wide. Those
who pasture focks must always keep
somebody to watch them, though all kinds
of stock are mostly fed in the stables.
They cultivate the land too closely to
allow of fences.
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1871-11-03

How THEY FLoURIsH.-The follow.
ing anecdote is told of Father Allen, the
first pastor Of the church in Wolfebo-
rough:
One day, while writing a sermon, be
was called out ofhis study, on some bus
iness with neighbor. A young man
with large amount of fun and mischief
in his head was living with the pastor.
He went into the study and noticed a
sermon lying ON the desk, which Mr.. AL
len was writing for the coming Sabbath.
Curiosity led him to read the page not
quite finished The last sentence Mr..
Allen had left quite incomplete. 1t read
as follows " The wicked flourish like a
green bay'--The boy added horse.
When Mr.. Allen returned to the study
he did not correct the boys new inter-
probation, but from that point went on
and finished the sermon. On the next
Sabbath the congregation were startled
with something new if not true. The
good pastor, reading his sermon, said -
!" The wicked flourish like a green bay
horse" The preacher paused, and then
said with emphasis, horsel" " Yes, my
brethren, like green bay horse" The
scene which followed is described, as one
of uncomfortable merriment on the part
of the congregation.

NIissisquoi Valley House,
SHELDON, VT,

Mr.. Editor 1T may perhaps interest
some Of your many readers to know that
we have at the present time within the
confines OF this goodly state, some genu-
inc specimens OF English nobility.
Sir Alexander Duff, Gordon. Baronet
and son, arrived in this village about a
week since, and have taken quarters at
this house. The journey from England
here was undertaken for the express pur-
pose of testing the waters of the medic
inal springs for which, you are doubtless
aware, this village is so justly famous,
and which have given it at the present
time, a world wide reputation. About
four years since the Baronet noticed
small lump near the root of his tongue,
so small however, that it gave him no ap-
prehensions of its being anything of a
malignantcharacter. After few months
it developed into an eating ulcer, or can
Ger, and has since made such headway
that it has defied the combined skill of
the best medical talent in Europe
Through the representations of Madam
De Villehorste, Polish countess, who
had heard of some wonderful cures being
effected at the Sheldon springs, he has
finally been induced to come here and
give them trial. The effect in the short
time he has been here seems altogether
favorable. The acute inflammation has to
great extent abated, and nearly all un-
pleasant odor from the sore has left it.
He seems greatly encouraged, and has
determined to give the waters long and
faithful trial. If it should so happen
that cure is effected, it will certainly
place the little village of Sheldon in
much more conspicuous position before
the world than its q liet inhabitants could
ever have dreamed Of
Sir Alexander holds at the present
time very prominent and influential
position in Her Majesty's Government,
being at the head OF the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. He is a perfect speci-
men of the cultivated, high toned, Eng
lish gentleman, exceedingly unpreten-
tious in his manner, and very marked in
the kindness and courtesy with which he
receives all who come in contact with
him. In conversation he constantly i'm
presses you with the fact that he is seek
ing to gain information from you, rather
than imparting any ideas of his own.
His son who accompanies him has just
returned from a tour in the Holy Land.
This village has some ten hotels, most
of them large ones, and all, understand
are we'll patronized during the summer
months. l found upon my arrival at the
Valley House, guests from Montreal, New
Orleans, st. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, and in fact, from almost ev-
cry part of the country. And now al
low me to say in conclusion, to any Of
your readers who may be inclined to Wis
it this locality, either for the benefit of
the medicinal waters, or for the tonic Of
the bracing mountain air, that l can
wish no better fortune for them than that
they may fall into the hands of "mine
host" Wheeler, of the Missisquoi Valley
House. Yours truly,
j. H. S.
SHELDON, Oct. 25, 1871.
