DORSET
Never was spring weather more wei
come, and farmers are glad 10 leave sugar
making, although the sugar season has
been very short, and commence farming
On some farms plowiug has begun.
II noticed an unusual stir on Friday
and Saturday, Of last week, in our quiet
village and finally learned that there was
another store opened and goods were
selling rapidly at reasonable prices, by
Chas. +. Long 81 Co. Mr.. Long and
family are welcome to Dorset,
The long winter has been severe up
on the health Of all classes in our vicinity,
especially among small children. Five
under one year Of age have died within a
few weeks.
The eleventh Of this month we re-
eeivcd from friend in Virginia several
stalks Of clover OF seven and eight inches
in length--sent by mail. Quite contrast
between that climate and ours.
"A friend at my elbow says: "Do just
mention the splendid time company OF
rs young people, and some who were not
SO young, had in Rollin Sykes sugar
grove on Thursday evening of last week
We popped corn, cracked butternuts,
boiled eggs and sugared off of course, and
had a real enjoyable time.
We notice that your correspondents
from this place are very quiet of late,
doubtless owing to the fact that maple
sugar and news are not as plenty as usu-
al. The sugar season has been poor
one, and our people have been compelled
to adjourn until autumn, taking the hint
from the New York man, who, in pur-
chasing a farm of a Vermonter had a lit
tic dispute as to which should have the
use OF the sugar bush in the spring,
which was finally settled to the satisfac-
tion Of both parties. The city man to
have the use of it the last six months of the
year.
Our marble and lumber mills have
now plenty of water, and are running
full blast. Both Ridout and Sykes are
prepared TO furnish anything in the lum-
Der line, their arrangements for furnish
ing long timber are superior,
We notice that VIM. Williams has
a large assortment of all kinds of harness
work, both light and heavy ones, double
and single, gotten up in better style
than is often found in a country town,
We were assured by him that they are
gotten up for service also.
On account of high water the trains
on the Battenkil a Pawlet River Rail-
road are not running on time. Without
joking we would like TO see that thing
put through, and trust Il will be speedi-
y.
The present State of our railroad af-
fairs would seem to indicate that Wes-
tern Vermont has no rights that railroad
men are bound to respect
EAST DORSET.
