Tho Faces We Meet.
Oh, the faces we meet
In the crowded street,
With their smiling lips or their weary eye;
And the clouds OF care
Which they often wear,
AS they hurry swiftly by
There are facos as gay
AS the waves that play
On the sunny sand Of an islet green;
There are eyes as bright
AS the jewels light,
That falls on the brow Of queen.
There arc trcsses of hair
Like golden snare,
And they catch many hearts in their mesles
strong;
There arc looks like the night
On mountain height,
Ere the day-atar heralds the dawn
There are brows as free
As q land-locked sea,
NO storms have driven, no tempest tossed;
And brows as black
AS tho desoate track
Which tho firo.Gend has crossed
There are lips whose smile,
Without malice or guile,
Light the face as tho sun lights tho sea;
And lips whore sneer
Chills tho blood as with fear,
Oh, the faces we meet
In the crowded street,
With care-wOrn brows or with ciadsome eve:
Are pictures Of life, mado
or light and shade,
AB they pass us swiftly by.

Joshua Trip, formerly proprietor
of the stage line between this place and
/ Windsor, has taken possession of his no
tel, the Eagle, and makes everything
clean and inviting to the public. He
has secured the services of Fred. C.. Patf.
one Of the most accomplished and plea
SAINT caterers of the times, as his assis-
tant, and if his stables, tables and ac-
commodatiOns, in all things that go to
make up good and orderly hotel, are
not of the best, we shall be very much
mistaken. Mr.. Tarble, the former pro-
prictOr, by reason of illness in his fami-
ly, remains as a boarder at the Eagle
/ house for the present.
BY the way, we have had case of
what we call "clear grit" or perhaps
more properly one of provoking one
another to good works" A few even
ings since a few friends had called upon
the new landlord to congratulate him in
his new career Of life. Among them
came the one footed soldier, John Nc
/ GOwen, who, though not of great wealth
has big heart for every benevolent
work. COnversing upon the subject of
the duty of every community to support
the minister and maintain the prOprie-
ties of the Sabbath, Trip remarked to
John that he would pay as much for
preaching to the Methodist clergyman
just assigned to this locality, as he John,
would for the current year. Agreed
said John, and Immediately handed 500
to a bYstander for that object. Moth
ing 10th Trip drew his wallet and fork
ed over an equal amount, and thus $50
has been placed in the hands of good IA
Their Burbank to pay for Sabbath ser
mons during the approaching season.
| We trust that John, as he rides his ped
lars cart, and Trip, as he feeds the
travelling public, will reap a rich return
on their investment thus made in good
cause, and will both attend church to
see if their money is earned by the
preacher.

We had occasion short time since
to 90 to the residence of Geo. w. Hol-
den, in that part of Chester near Ando-
yer and Ludlow line, and saw stock of
cattle kept in "browse since Feb. list,
last almost entirely. Hay gone and hard
to buy. Mr.. Holden tells us he had a
few acres of land grown up to under
bush-mostly of Eastwood. Discover
ing that his cattle eat these twigs with
great relish and even gnawed the bark
from the larger trees, he tried the ex-
pertinent of stripping the saplings and
cutting the bark into short pieces as in a
hay cutter-he found his cattle eat the
bark readily-so that all winter he has
fed four cows and three young cattle on
Eastwood bark, adding two quarts of
meal to each creature daily. His oxen
Jared the same, except when he worked
them he gave little hay and more meal.
Mr.. Holden's stock all looked quite well,

Hager has been i'll, but is convalescent.

Orwell.

Our eyes are at last cheered by the
sight of land. 4 few days Of rain and
sun have done the work for us, and now
only the drifts, piled up here and there
along the line of the fences remain. The
frost penetrated to an unusual depth the
past winter, and there has not been
power sufficient thus far to call il back
to the surface. The mud is very free
and plenty, and the roads everywhere
are next to impossible.
There has been but very little maple
sugar made in town thus far, and the
prospect is of a very poor season. Sap
refuses to run while the frost holds on
with such sharp grip at the roots.
Those who are short for hay, doubt
less are willing to exchange sugar season
for grass growing spring, while those
who have nothing to win or lose in this
direction are watching and waiting for
the annual feasts.
The bleating of the lambs and the
lowing of the kline have become familiar
sounds of late Even the old prophet
that once confronted Saul, were he here,
might ask ''what meaneth it 2" But to
our farmers it needs no explanation.
Those who are accustomed to watch the
long night with their increasing stock
know what opening Spring is.

1t win be remembered that a number
Of our mechanics left last fall, for Mis-
sssippi, being unable to procure remu-
nerative labor, here Our citizens will
be pleased to learn that they are located
in a live progressive town which is ra-
pidly building up, under the inf uence of
manufactures and labor. We find in

s"ription Of the town and its progress.
About two miles or less from Summit,
Tie town of McCombsville, he's been To-
c.ted, chartered, laid out, and rapidly
settling with new Corners from a dis
lance. Two large saw mills are in full
operation, making plank Of all kinds
and lumber for framework for houses.
Not a foot of plank or any other mater
ial has been sold or set off, but it is all
kept for the building purposes of vari-
GUS kinds, contemplated by the railroad
The President Of the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad
has determined to bring all his machine
shops Of every kind to this place. A
large number of workmen are already
there building the necessary houses for
the purpose, together with dwellings for
families and everything else necessary
for permanent residence and deter
mined success. This is all going on free
from noise or parade in any of the pa
pers, and evinces that confidence in &C
ton which is sure of victory in the &C
complishment of the ends aimed at. We
are glad of all this and trust President
McComb will not stop short of large
cotton factory in addition, as the loca-
ton is every way suitable and cannot
fail under his known character for ener-
gy and systematic management in all he
does This will bring both trade and
population to support the town.

TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1872.
A Nations Memorial Tribute.

In accordance with previous sugges-
ton some of the hours of this day are to
be set apart in memorial tribute to one
of the most eminent men of his time-a
philosopher-artist, scholar and bene-
factor, Samuel Finley Breese Morse.
1t is fitting that the Congress of the ma
ton should pause in its deliberation to
pay honors to one who had filled up the
measure of his fame and the triumph of
whose genius have been acknowledged
with enthusiasm in every land. 1t also
is a token of respect due from cities and
towns that the people pause amid the
whirl of busy life for time, to consid-
er the benefits derived from an invention
which marked an era in modern civil
cation.
In all sections of the country services
are to take place in honor of Professor
Morse. The most imposing ceremonies
are to be observed at Washington, in
which several of the most eminent men
Of the nation are to participate. 1t is
proper that at the capitol of the nation
where, on the 9th day of May, 1874,
those memorable words, "what has
God wrought" flashed from Balti-
more, which demonstrated beyond the
power of Cavil, the triumphant vindica-
ton Of the success and completion of the
Electric Telegraph. Since that auspi-
cious day the crowned heads of Europe
have lavished distinguished honors upon
its inventor. Nor have his cOuntrymen
forgotten him, and thus to-day would
they honor his memory. His statue in
Central Park, in the great commercial
mart Of the country, in one of the evil
dences of the profound admiration of
the American people. The institutions
Of learning and science all over the land
proudly enroll Prof. Morse among the
honorcd names. Artists, philosophers,
sayaus, statesmen and merchants, all
gratefully acknowledge their indebted
ness to his genius, energy and persever-
anoe. Such a man reflects glory upon
his country, and his name becomes a
pant of the national heritage Let fit
ing memorial tributes fall to-day from
the lips Of the American people, in hon
or Of one of the most distinguished citi-
z"ns and bcnefactOrs of the nation.

Aged People.

The papers are recording the death of
a very large number of persons who
have reached extreme ages, as well as
noting the good health of others. We
note some of these to call to mind the
number who have reached the age of 90
and upward:
Mrs. Olive Newton, died in Weathers-
field, March 10th, having attained her
Goth year. She leaves a family of ten
children the oldest being seventy. Her
husband, Hon. Samuel Newton died
thirty-two years ago.
Eliakim Morse, aged 81, the Oldest man
in Oakham, Mass, died March Goth.
Mr. Hutchinson, the oldest inhabitant
of Brooklyn, N. Y, died on Wednesday
last. He was born in Ireland in 1865
consequently was 107 years of age.
Austin Beecher died at Hinesburg,
April 3D., in the Dist year of his age. He
was native of New Milford, Conn,
and was born in 1892 and emigrated
with his father and settled in Hinesburg
about the beginning of the present CEN
fury, where by many years of laborious
toll and frugality, he acquired hand
some competence and one of the largest
and best farms in the town. He was
coadjutOr with Garrison in the anti
slavery movement. He aided in the es-
adjustment of the National Era at
Washington.
A Mrs. Buchanan, 107 years old died
at Creek settlement near Deposit, NY,
on Wednesday of last week.
Miss Polly Perry, distant relative of
Commodore Perry, died in Matoonic, r.
l., April 9th, aged ninety-nine years and
seventeen days.
Dolly Whitney, a native of Marlboro,
Windham county, Vermont, died in
Edinburgh, Saratoga county, New York
on the second day of April in the sSth
year OF her age. Her maiden name
was Santelle. This is remarkably long
life; Two years and three months and
y days less than century, having been
born July %, 1774. Thus nineteen such
lives would cover about 1856 years.

all who knew her But the giving over
of her life is but the beautiful setting of
precious memories.
We notice the question concerning
our future Governor is much agitated in
the various papers throughout the State.
1t strikes us quite forcibly that no coun-
ty ought to set up plea for this Office.
from the fact that said county has not.
during the history of the State. furnish
ed a Governor. 1t is an argument Of
but little Importance, TO march man Of
integrity and prc-eminent ability for
such an Office, no matter from what sec
ton he halls. There have already been
several names proposed allow Us 10 pre-
sent that of VIM VI. Pingry of Weathers-

whose name is familiar beyond our
county limits and who would faithfully
performe the arduOus duties of the Office.

satisfaction.

unusually bad travelling, snow and ice
leaving us slowly, and spring comes

CALIFoRNIA,-California papers after
summarizing the breadth of land in the
various grain crops, with the spring
prospects for their yield, arrive at the
conclusion that their State will have
10000 900 bushels of wheat for export,
worth 81 per bushel, and half that quail
ity Of barley worth rs cents. They
also estimate the wool clip at 80, 900, 900
pounds worth 100000, with $40
0O0,0 900 for product of grapes and other
fruits. They figure that $40, 900
worth Of this will be supplied to Europe,
Asia and the Eastern States. Thus it
will be seen that our Pacific coast has a
vast vein, aside from the products of its
mines, and we can readily understand
the.secret of its raped increase in pop
ulation and wealth
