PouItney.


The ladies of the I. O. of G. T., did
hold their new sugar festival at JOslin's
Hall on Saturday evening of last week,
and did have new sugar-plenty of it..
It was a pleasant occasion, as we hap
pened to know, and we would recon-
mend to our young men to attend these
public meetings of the Good Templars
rather than spend their time lounging
in places where they are not wanted.
John Roberts, very respectable
citizen of Welsh nationality, died in this
town on Saturday last, after an illness
of few days with typhoid fever. He
was the engineer in the Green Mountain
Slate Works. He leaves family.
The snow is going, going-almost
gone. Not much news-all quiet except
Poultnev rivcr-that has been ION a
bender" for four days.

FARMERS BEwARE.-Farmers should
look out for swindlers this season. The
Susquehanna Journal says:
4 swindler calling himself Ira Brown,
from Auburn, n. Y, is travelling
through this county with patent cutter
bar for reapers and mowers. He APP
points agents in the townships, and
take contracts from him which he cuts
in two, making a note of them. Several
farmers in Jackson. New Milford and
Auburn have been swindled by this
rascal. 1t seems that with all the warn
ings before them, that there are still men
claiming common sense, who will sign
a note for almost any humbug that any
stranger may bring along. But look out
for this Brown.

When we consider that this is the aver
age paid for skilled labor, and that I'M
skilled or half-skilled labor is only paid
one-half as much and, again, that many
of the w0rkmen labor twelve hours a
day, the difference in favor of thework-
men in the United States will be very
apparent. In England the prices are
but about one-quarter more than those
paid on the continent.

YALE COLLEGE. than one hun
dred thousand dollars have already been
subscribed to the Wooley fund Of Yale
College. The fund is to consist OF five
hundred thousand dollars, and the pros
poets are said to be very encouraging for
raising the remainder. The class OF
1860 alone has subscribed more than
twenty thousand dollars, and, thus far,
stands at the head of the list in its am
cunt of subscriptions. The fact that
this money is to be given for the general
use of the College, and not for any
specific purpose, is a great inducement
to those acquainted with the precise con-
dition of Yale to subscribe literally and
promptly. A detailed statement OF
the amounts already given by various
classes is now in course of preparation
for the information of the public.

On Saturday, March Both, the citizens
of this place were favored with the priv
iIege of listening to readings by Mr.. Rob
bins of Ludlow. a graduate Of Middle
bury College. The young man has evil
IDENTIFY given some attention to the Gull
tivati0n Of his vocal powers, and his rem
dering of authors on variety OF topics
was crcditabe \ wise discrimination
in the selection of subjects, diligent
study and constant care to give the
sense and style of authors represented,
and that too with a distinct utterancc,
are doubtless essential qualities to good
reading.
March commenced and held its own
in very honest way throughout, and
closed its programme here on the noun

April has been introduced with wind
and calm, showers. q mean showers
of snow sunshine and shade, fit en-

there WAS respectable company in at

I suppose the speaker has done good ii
the cause he represents, Yet It is ques

not tend to create and nurture bad taste:
and diminish the degree of usefulness he

THE EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS REVEALS
As an example of the beneficial results
of religious revivals, the newspapers OF
Lawrence. Kansas, tell us that the great
revival now in progress in that city has
completely changed the moral atmo-
sphere of the region. Several OF the re-
tail liquor stores. have been closed, while
those which remain open are doing a
hrggarly business, and the proprietoFs
have been heard to express an impatient
desire for the speedy termination OF tn"
revival. Gambling dens have been brok-
en- up. and other haunts of vice have
been deserted; in short, the Lawrence
of to-day is, in the language of one OF
the city journals, "a totally different
town from that which occupied tht
same ground month ago.
