TO DAIRYMEN.

The third report of the Vermont Dairy
mems Association will be ready for delivery
in very short time. We can spare of this
and OF the preceding reports, 200 sets, and,
in order to raise the funds to print the fourth
without delay, We now offer to sell the 200

cost Of printing them, and much less than
the actual value of any one Of them to any
enterprisiug farmer or dairyman; and we
appeal to you, and to all other friends Of the
association, to take upon yourselves the labor
of selling few sets among your friends and
acquaintaDces, and thus enable us to 20 on
With the good work. A few hours effort on
the part Of those to whom this appeal is
made will enable US to put the report imme-
diately to press, and with a due allowance
for the unavoidable delays, we can safely
promise its distribution during the spring
If, on the other hand, we are compelled to
await legislative aid, it will be bull two
years before it can see the light.

GOD BLESS THE FARM.

God bless the farn-the dear old farm
God bless its every rood,
Where willing hearts and sturdy arms
Can earn an honest livelihood
Can from the course and fertile soil
Win hack reeompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, Geld and nook,
Begemmed with fAirest flowers
And every leaf that q gently shook,
BY evening breeze or morning showers
God bless them all each leaf g gem
I'm Natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that in early spring
Blush rich in fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth OF fruits in golden showers,
Like pomegranate on Aaron's rod,
A miracle from Natures God.
And may he bless the farmers home;
Where peace and plenty reign;
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad beauteous earth contain,
Than when secure from care and strife,
The farmer leeds his peaceful life.
UnvsIed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mould,
Then scatters on the golden grain,
And reaps reward a hundred fold,
He dWells where grace and beauty charm,
For God hath blessed his hope and farm.

to rush around with the engine to hop

ladders, pull out their hose, Gimp on ms

his dwelling was on fire. But that very
day Hopkins moved out of the house, ana

A DOGS SAGAcITY.-A well-known cit
izen Of Boston says that he recently had
occasion to go to Portland street to pay
small bill. Arriving at Portland street
with the dog, he met the man he wished
to see on the sidewalk, and there paid
the bill, at the same time dropping twen-
ty dollar bill on the curbstone, though
he knew nothing about it till his arrival
home some two hours afterward. Find
ing this twenty dollar bill gone, he took
his dog. Jess, and started back. On
reaching Sudbury street, he called his
dog, showed him twenty dollar bill,
looked about on the ground as il hunting
for it, and told the dog to " smell it out. I"
The dog then started off with his nose to
the ground in front Of his master, and
pushing round into Portland street,
where the bill was paid, he stopped,
poked the dirt with his nose and in a
few minutes ran up to his master with
the lost twenty dollar bill in his mouth.
That looks like very tough story, but if
truthful men are to be believed, then is
this story true.

ylcisSitudes is as strange and dramatic
as the Imagination of novelist can in

large fortune in this city is Henry Page.
His history is as follows: In 1858 his
father, J. NJ. Page, worthy mechanic,
removed from this city to st. Joseph,
Mo. In the new and growing West Page
hoped to accumulate larger store OF
spare cash than he had ever been able to
get hold of here. 1t would seem, how
ever, that the case was just the opposite,
and so far from becoming Crnsus Page
lost what little he had taken from here,
and shortly after his removal was taken
sick and died in poverty. He left wife
and three children by a former marriage,
and as a last resort they were forced to
take quarters in the County Poorhouse.
The little ones, as they grew up so as TO
be able to earn their own livelihood,

ago it was discovered that the first wife OF
Page had once owned an estate in this
city, which, though comparatively value
less at the time OF her death, has since
grown into splendid fortune in itself.
4 gentleman OF this city, thinking that
he could discover the right heir, went
from here TO Missouri some time ago, and
sitter much trouble succeeded in hnding
the survivor of the family. The missing
heir, Henry Page, the son of the unlucky
carpenter, he found in the family OF Mr..
Penny, OF Platte county, and brought
him before Judge Pettigrew, OF the
Buchanan Probate Court, where his
Identity was fully established, and the
Information given that he was heir to u
