March, the ''worst abused month
we ever remember to have lived through,
has finally gone with all its clustering
storms 1t was, throughout, one of our
most trying winter months. No maple
sugar could be made, owing to the Sc
verify of the weather. No thaw until
near its close. The sleighing is good as
ever, though slushy.
April came in to-day, and it has
been bright, sunny and lovely. 1t has
been the first unmistakeable sugar or sap
day yet The snow is so deep, it is with
great difficulty that sap can be gathered
to boil
Maple syrup has appeared in limited
quantities at $3.50 per gallon.
Real estate is beginning to move
here, though slowly, this spring. We
hope sales will be more active. Harley
II. Strong has recently bought the house
he has occupied the last two years, on
Main street, nearly opposite the place of
G. NJ. Townsend, of d. Fl. Meacham,
who is doing so much to improve the
northeastern part of the village. Price
paid. 81. 500. There are three others yet
unsold, of a like character, on Grove
street.

worth, consisting of a detailed statement
