Our friends Hoskins and Cummings
have boughtthe St, Johnsbury Times
and moved the Vermont Farmer from
Newport to that place. This they do
to secure more central point from
which to issue paper which is to be
strictly State paper, mostly devoted
to Agriculture and the general State
news. The Farmer, we believe is to be
enlarged and made four page paper
little larger than the Monitor and the
list consolidated with that of the Times.
While we regret the loss of two Of the
very best men from this county, "" feel
glad that they have not gone any farther
than they have, and cannot but think
that the movement is good one for
them. The Farmer will be to Yer
monters what the Maine Farmer is to
the people of Maine, and one that, it
seems to us, no farmer in the State
should be without. Mr. Hoskins, as ev-
cry one knows, who know him at all,
is no ordinary man, and as an editor of
an agricultural paper, he has already
proved himself equal to the best Far
mers, if you want an agricultural paper
at all, the Vermont Farmer. is the one
that will just "hit your case. '''a - 81"

A Bloomington man, with his wife,
went to the circus at Barton on the eve
ming of the 18th, leaving his team hitched
to the fence, near the tent. In the wag-
on was a new buffalo, which on his re-
turn was non est. His wife brought her
water proof, but thinking she should
need it inside, did not leave that in the
wagon but when she came out of the
tent, left it where she sat, and when
she went back for it, that also was gone,
no one knew where. AS if this was not
enough, while they were on their way
home, in the dark, they came to bad
place in the road, and broke down the
wagon, and if we are correctly informed,
had to 60 the rest of the way home on
foot Guess they are glad that the cir.
Gus does not come every day.
