Messrs Edif0rs--Sone one, in your last
issue, who has not manliness or manhood
enough to sign his name to his writing, but trie-
to hide behind star, has endeavored to create
the impression that Mrs. Woodruff, with her
peculiar ideas Of social freedom, was endorsed
by the late Spiritualist meeting Of this town.
Such was not the case As chairman of the
meeting, having the appointment of the com
mittee which reported the resolution, deny
most anphafieaily, that the resolution in ques-
ton either endorsed Mrs. Woodruff and heI
"notions," or embodied words which could
fairly be made to bear any such construction
| Il did condemn her continued imprisonment
icithom trial, for the ofenses charged aud clos
ed with warning Of its being time for action
in defence Of free speech and liberty.
II there are any among your intelligent read
ers who do not, on taking a comprehensive
view of the situation" say amen to word
and sentiments like these, the hint is kind,
given for them TO migrate forthwith to Aus
tria, or some other place where despotlaln
dark, soul-crushing despotsm, is tie rule ant
where men and women are denied those cher
ished rights to secure which the tried an'
true" of olden time perilcd their lives an'
pledged their fortunes and sacred honor.

Our community is considerably walked up
on the subject of railroad from Marshheld to
South Hardwick, through this place, TO con
meet with the proposed Black River railroad.
1t is thought by many that we can make bet
ter showing for an outlet for the northern part
of the State by railroad to the Hub after reach
ing IIardwick, than any that has yet been
made, and we earnestly hope that measures will
soon be taken to procure a survey.
--Sugaring is very dull in this section thus
far, but very small amount having been
made, and that of inferior quality. We had
the pleasure last week Of visiting the works of
MIR. A. NJ. Foster, who has one Of the largest
in this county, 1850 trees. This of course re-
quires quite an amount of boiling apparatus,
for which he has six large pans and large
sized eyaporator. With these arrangements
for boiling, and all the tools clean and in apple
pie order, he can produce the very best article
of maple sugar and honey the market affords.
If you do not believe it, give him call, and
,ou will be treated at any time in about ten
minutes with a nice dish Of warm saeeharine,
prepared and tested with his saschermeter.

meteorological Observations for the month OF
March, 1873.
TAKEN IN RANDOLPH, VT.

The month has been remarkably clustering
and unpleasant. There has been six considerable
snow-storms, besides many Others Of lighter
character, and on the 30th great rain The
storms were uniformly followed by high winds,
which piled the snow in drifts, requiring much
labor to keep the highways open for travel. es-
pecially on the hill roads.
The snow at the close Of the month is still
very deep-lrom three to four feet in the woods.
On the high lands of the town it is-much deep
er than in the valley, where these observations
were made. There fences are of no account,
being entirely buried from sight, and travel
on the roads is nearly suspended in some To-
caities.
Robins first seen on the 3lst No other
spring birds seen yet.

ment Of the death Of Mrs MARTHA +. BURNHAM,
wife of Mr.. WISsLow W. AVERY, which occur

disease was consumption; her age 81 years.
Mrs. Avery was daughter of Mr., David

his marriage, Mr.. Avery was foreman of this

reside, and here remained until her husband
removed to Plymouth to publish the old Col

Of the fourteen persons who united in organic
ing the present Baptist Church Of Montpelier
and We need not add that she was greatly loved
by that little band, as indeed she was by all
who knew her. Gentle in her disposition and
guileless in her life, she adorned the Christian
profession which she made, and her many
friends will anticipate the message which has
been sent to us, that "her end was very peace
full" Such life and death are the richest
egacies to her husband and children.
