.sr-l.a bis audience with the theme he has
selected for his second appearance.
Don't forget the lecture this Wednesday,
evening at Trinity Hall by Rev. W. II. IL.
sraRaY. HIS lectures on temperance are
pronounced as among the most eloquent and
elective ever made in that direction.
The lecture By Rev. Mr.. GLAzIER at the
Clur,a Of the Messiah last Friday evening
va, an able and well pronounced argument
in favor Of temperance. Mr.. Gl,zier had
evidently given his subject much thought and
presented il in a manner calculated TO make
-n impression. There was fair attendance.
but March weather has not been very pro
pitious thus far for evening assemblages.
SNORT WErour.-A friend OF ours in
Montpelier who deals largely 10 the "staf
5fIife.r has recently had his attention called
20 the under weight of some barrels of -four.
and upon re-weiehing he has found them to
fall short in many instances from one to
thrce pounds. This is but a small amount to
he sure. but it : z" clip" Of he coin sufH-
Gent 70 condemn it. It Is matter of
enough importance to look after.
CH.>eEIx Business Our oldest and much
esteemed merchant, Mr.. c. W. Storrs, lately
of the firm Of St0rrs Il Jones, has retired
from business, and will be much missed by
those who have for many years been accus-
toned TO doing a portion of their trading
with him. We regret t. learn that ~ health
has induced this step, but in his retirement
and release rom mercantile cares, il il hoped
that his years of usefulness 10 other caPaci-
ties may long be continued
The business IN which Mr.. S'orrs WAS
partner is continued by the other efficient
~
whose admirable business habits and well
known energy Of characte: peculiarly fit him
for that position in the busy marts Of trade
and commerce.
TAKIsG TINE BY TIE FoRELoCK.-Calling
on a farmer brother la week We found HE
eldest son absent in the sugar-oreh4rd, and
inquiring what he could be doing there that
day, was told he was selecting the tapping
places in tie trees, drvi, g il tie sheet iron
sp5uts aud the mails on which to hang the
buckets This plan struck " as worthy of
being noted and initiated. We know what
a hurry a good tapping day Tu.s all sugar
makers in In the case coming under our
observation half the work Of that day is
already done When the proPitlouS day
arrives for setting the saccharIne juices OF
tie NAPLES Is fl wing. our farmer brother
ha- 1u.y . take his bit, bJre just above the
spJut, hang on the bucket and pass to another
tree When we turn farmer we shall adopt
this method Of getting ahead in sugaring
time

detached within the next twenty-four hours,
thus carrying out the coupon simile, and

dag evening with gallantry in his fol ow-
Ing which could only be equaled by risky

TN, Esq Oh flaihnslu "hC KNOWS lnhhIteiJ
more about lattening and feeding cattle than
&" Il. g." is reported to know about farming.
The oxen were five years Old, the pair
we shed 1860 pounds alive, and dressed 2676
pounds. 1t does ones eyes good to look
upon the huge fat quarters hlngiag up in
the market and although we are not fully
high church, we can imagine how a
juicy steak or a delicious roast therefrom
would tickle ones palate on Easter or any
