OF purchasing through the grange, and their
progress socially and intellectually; also to
give further instruction in the work Of the
order and the promotion Of the general good
feeling among the oranges.
Fifteen different oranges were represent
ed, the number present being about $50
persons including quite fair proportion Of
ladies. The forenoon session was devoted
principally to the reports from the oranges
from which IL was gathered that they were
steadily and satisfactorily gaining in num-
bers and making good progress in the social
and intellectual, as well as the business fea-
lures Of the order. The older oranges, some
OF which have had an existence of two years,
reported savings in their purchase Of dry
goods aud groceries of some thirty to forty
per cent.
The convention took recess at 1870
O'Clock, was conducted in body to the Con-
gregatona church in the basement Of which
tables were found spread aud bountifully
filled with cakes, pies, fruits, etc. the com.
pany comfortably seated aud served with hot
coffee and oysters, and all through the kind
hospitality Of the members oil" Mortified
grange. The grangers attestod their appre.
citation Of the act and the good things, and
at the same time showed that they had gen.
ulne farmers, appetites, even if all were not
really farmers.
The afternoon session was chiefly occupied
In discussing matters connected with the bust
ness Of the order, aud in receiving instruction
ia the work. from Deputy Boyden.
A committee was appointed, and their
resolution adopted requesting the oranges of
Washington county and such others as may
desire to unite with them to unite in the for.
nation ola County Council to meet in mass
convention at the Grand jury room in Mont
pelier, Wednesday, Feb. IL, and similar
meeting for Orange county was called TO
meet at Royalton, Feb. 20.
A resolution calling for mass meeting Of
members from all oranges in the state, at
Montpelier, March 9th, was also adopted
and committee Of three appointed to make
arrangements and officially notify the va
rious oranges as to the time, place and OBJ.
jects Of the meeting.
After resolutions Of thanks to the North.
field Grange for its kind treatment of mem.
bers Of the order from abroad, and TO the
Central Vermont Railroad Company for the
courtesy Of half fare, the meeting was closed,
and all went away feeling that they had en-
joyed pleasant and profitable time and it
seems very probable that good will result to
every grange there represented.

purchasing some OF my Superphosphate either Of tbs

will be sent from tho works until sold, and purchaser
can thus rely upon receiving fresh goods whenever
they choose TO buy. The experience that have had
