Lunenburg,

The weather is snperb---lt is de-
lightfully beautiful-storms light,
clear sky, hot sun, warm moon, "you
can hang up your powder horn on it"
every time. We are far ahead Of
Florida, and Italy is left out in the
cold. We have changed several times
from wheel to runners, and much of
the time could take our choice, and
sometimes necessary to have both.
Nice riding on the ice, sometimes at
right-angles from the way you were
going, or to have the "hind" end of
your buggy get in a hurry, and come
right round in front, man has got
TO hang on to the ribbons and Keep
"level." We have had few little
frosts, say down into the forties, when
il was little chilly; and | see the
Boston Post is afraid it has injured
the crops in Vermont. | am sorry
the Post is not better posted in regard
to the way we have up here of brood
ing our crops. We gather them all
under us, and then with an old Ethan
Allen, and good pile of wood we
could keep even the "Hub" itself hot.
] hope the Post will understand that
we take care of our crops, and also
our Polly-ticks.
Our sugaring is frozen up this
morning-have got enough to make a
Johnny-cakc very acceptable. March
is in terrible hurry this morning,
going east with rush it takes q few
snow flakes, brush, shingles, dirt, the
tops of my chimneys and man must
embrace his old coat, or hat very af-
fectionately or they will 60 along, too.
1t certainly takes a pretty strong
wind to get the sun "across the line,
but ! can't conceive how it can push
much in the right direction, when it
comes from the west. They tell us
this is the cline storm''and if it clears
off cold, woe be to the farmer; keep
yonr corn out of the ground, for frost
is sure every month. | suppose il
must he so, but do wish the dear
old folks would tell us why it is, and

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

1t appears that the men were away
in the sugar place that day, that
about o'clock p. m, the chimney
burned out, which was watched by
the women folks until all danger
was thought to be past, and they be-
gan preparations for tea, when the
house was discovered to be on fire in
the roof. The high winds which pre-
vailed at the time, caused it to spread
so rapidly that when help arrived it
was too late to save the house ; a part
only Of the household goods were saw
ed. All the provisions were lost, among
which was two barrels Of pork, one
barrel Of beef, 2j0 bushels fpotatoes :
also years supply of wood. 1t is
but year since that Mr.. Rosebrooks
sugar house was burned. He esti-
mates his loss at about $500. In
sured for $500, in the Farmers Nut

rived in town on Wednesday at
noon, having come down the riv-
er from Castle Dome Landing in
q roW-boat. The Captain came
very near meeting with a severe
accident and had a narrow es-
cape from death last Tuesday
morning.
1t seems that he was walking
aronnd looking at his mines when
he inadvertently stepped into an
open shaft which is some eigh ty
or ninety feet deep. He fell about
ten feet and caught on a project.
ing rock, to which he chung until
his men came to his assistance and
hauled him out. One of his knees
is pretty badly bruised and one of
his arms considerably hurt. His
body is also somewhat strained,
but no bones are broken. We
consider this a most remarkable
escape and almost, ifnot altogeth-
er, Providential. Had he passed
the projecting rock, death would
have been inevitable.
