4 Bear Going to School.

Some years ago boy of New Hamp.
shire found a very young cub near Lake
Winnipeg, and carried it home with him.
1t was fed and brought up about the house
of the boys father, and became as tame as
a dog.
Every day its youthful captor had to
20 to school at some distance, and by de-
grees the bear became bis daily companion.
At first the other scholars were shy of the
creatures acquaintance, but ere long it be-
came their regular playielow, and they
delighted in sharing with it the little store
of provisions which they brought for their
sustenance in small bags After two years
OF civilization, however, the bear wandered
to the woods and did not return. Search
was made for him, but in vain

in.

Sunken Rocks.

A boy was once sailing down East River,
near New York, which was then very
dangerous channel. He watched the old
steersman with great interest, and observed
that whenever he came near stick OF
painted wood he changed his course.
Why do you turn out for those bits OF
wood 2" asked the boy.
The old man looked up from under his
shaggy brows, too much taken up with
his task to talk, and simply growled out,
"Rocks."
Well, | would not turn out for those
bits of wood said the boy, "l would go
right over them"
The old man replied only by look
" Poor foolish lad" it said, how little
you know about rocks ~
The Bible is full of buoys to show where
the rocks are hidden.

TEMPERANCE.-The meeting Sunday even
ing again brought together large number,
completely filling Village Hall. Capt. j.
W. Clark presided. The resolutions, pre-
pared by Dr. Sumner Putnam, and read at
the last meeting were brought forward for
discussion. The end sought, through the
adoption of the resolutions, evidently was
TO bring all to realize more deeply their in
,dividual responsibility, and consequently to
bring larger numbers into the work of the
reform. 4 second reading being called for,
at the request of the chairman, Mr.. A. O.
Brown read the resolutions singly, and
after some discussion and no opposition, the
three first were unanimously adopted. The
fourth resolution did not meet with SO gene
raj favor, and was laid over for further dis
cussion at the next meeting.
Rev. L. II. Stone was present, and by re-
quest, spoke for few moments on the reso
utions. Mr.. Stone had other words for the
occasion, as likewise had Rev. Mr.. Lord, to
which all would have gladly listened, but the
time had expired, and the meeting was
brought to clo'e.
A quartette by ladies and gentlemen anc
another by little girls and boys gave variety
to the meeting. new collection of hymns
sufficient for the use of all the audience, have
been published. and were used with good
effect in spirited congregational singing,

FARMERS MEETING AT WA1TsFIELD.-A
meeting of the Vermont Board of Mining,
Manufacturing and Agriculture commenced
in Waitsfeid today (Tuesday). Hon. Ira
Richardson was chosen President of the
meeting. The opening address Of welcome
was by Hiram Carleton, Esq, of Watsfeld.
1t was pertinent and brief, simply stating
that such meetings could not fail to be of
permanent benefit to an agricultural COM
munity, thanking the Board for selecting
Waitsfield for the place of meeting, and
cordially welcoming all the valley of Mad
| river.
The first paper read was by Hon. Henry
Lane of Cornwall. 1t treated principally of
the value of root culture for feeding. 1t was
we'll prepared, and its suggestions were we'll
received by large number of farmers
present. Mr. Lane believes in beets, and
has implicit faith in the improved American
beet for feeding purposes.
\ general questioning and discussion
sprung up after Mr. Lane finished reading,
and he was kept pretty lively in replying to
the multitudinOus interr0gatories showered
upon him. He was happily reinforced oy a
Mr.. Wilder from Charlotte, who if not a
=. dead beet was certainly the most en-
thusiastic " beetist - we have yet met with.
Corn, wheat oats and vegetables generally
Jared poorly in Mr.. Wilder's hands, but the
| Eoi -,
out of the ground . full grown under his
manipulations.
A very interesting paper on Maple
Sugar - was then read by E. A. Fisk, Esq,
of Waitsfeld. AS it will be hereafter
printed in the FREEMAN we will here make
no digest of it.
The listeners applauded Mr.. Fisk at the
close of his essay, and then lively & Expe-
rience meeting was INDUCED in very many
persons telling what they knew abont sugar
making and the maple tree. Among these
speakers were Prof. Collier Of Burlington
DR.. Hoskins of St. JOhnsbury, Jameson of
lras5ur5h, Eidredge of Warren, Bisbee Of
| Moretown, D. B. Bosworth and Andrews oil
Berlin, Judge Upham of Warren and several
others whose names escaped US.
In the evening Dr.. Hoskins made an lm
promptu address on fruit growing in Yer
mont and an interesting discussion occurred il
which many interesting facts. were brough
out.
The attendance on the meeting is yer
full, many ladies being sandwiched ID anon

is being developed
The sessions of the Board are to close to

Two freight thieves who have been oper-
ating for long time on the New England
roads, including the Vermont Central, have
been arrested for stealing from the Boston
and Albany freight depot, in Worcester,
Mass. and there held to answer at the Su-
perior Court in May. They gave their
names as Edward Warren and John Wash
burn at first, but now profess to be from
Woodstock, Vermont. Washburn says he
is q, and that his real name is John Hag-
gerty. Warren says his name is Edward
Smith, and that his father is a wealthy
business man. The two thieves have stolen
much freight from various points in New
England, and have been very large dealers
in butter and like articles that they have
picked up about the country. Very likely
their stories concerning their origin are
untrue, and that the good town of Wood
sock has had no part or lot in raj sing such
disreputable p ersons.
