pOndentS nave Deen exceedingly eIO-
auent on paper describing the October
appearance of the mountains, hills, val
lies, forest and shade trees In the yicin-
ity where they may chance to live, move
and have being. All have to report
in regard to our condition, is that the
wind and rain, with the assistance of
cruel old Jack Frost, has deprived our
picturesque scenery in great degree of
its summer beauty, and that our hills,
vallies, forest and shade trees are as bare
of beauty as they were last March. yy7-
An agent of a city firm, who goes
about the country seeking not whom he
NAV devour, but, to the contrary, selling
goods and soliciting orders for the same,
informed friend of ours that he never
came to Castleton to do business with
certain man there, without meeting him
with hymn book in his hand on the
way to prayer meeting or with a sing
ing book under his arm going to choir
rehearsal, or out of town attending
political, Christian, temperance, or must
cal convention. We think, on the whole,
this speaks well for the Castleton man,
he might, if he would, be found in worse
places. 'a#lli. anaa Il aai 81 Fl
We have seen another long winded
note, given the first of March 1859, of
three thousand dollars, on the back of
which is entered thirty-four endorse
ments. The paper on which the note
is written is about the dimensions of
seven by nine pane of glass, and it is
literally covered with entries of various
times, and it is not all paid yet. This is
famous town for slow notes, slow
teams, and now and then a slow man.
The manner of payment is congenial to
the feelings of all the parties interested,
one of them being connected as partner
with one or the most extensive marble
firms in the county.
Rev. L. H. Stone is journeying
through the great west, visiting friends
and relatives, and lecturing on the sub
ject of temperance. He has children in
Minnesota, California and Washington
territory He will be abroad from four
to six weeks. He is moving man, and
is most of the time on the wing, at least
has been so during a residence of nearly
three years in Castleton. Let him move.

j. G. Griffith has sold his farm to
Levi Campbell.
The demand for houses is quite
large, so much so that ii is difficult to
supply all the requirements.
MIDDLEBURY.
The night preceding Cali Saints
day q think it thus called) was celebrat-
| ed in our village by the boys taking off
| the front gates of our citizens and de-
| posting them in the road. | cannot im-
agine what this has to do with proper
observance of the day alluded to. To
| my mind it is miserable business true

principles of decency and good breed

Philip Kerrigan and julie Demont of
| Ripton had quarrel on the 9th, and
| the result was, that Kerrigan with his

shred of skin only. The ear was put
back AMI sewed on by DIR. Ross of East
Middlebury. Kerrigan was complained
against, and fined So and costs. He
also gave Demont small sum for pri-
vate damages. Mems ears are cheap in
