are experienced in those states pass over n

Is wei, populated and which contains dense
forests of timber. This condition of things
is highly favorable to diminution of the
cold as it is borne along by the wind from
the north. In passing over the settlements,
villages and cities which dot the country, it
is natural that these winds should lose their
frosty keenness but, aside from this, the
forests which intercept them are sufficient
to diminish their violence, retard their pro-
gress and rob them of their chilling cold
ness of the far north. Texas is not so fay
orably situated. The country towards the
north and northwest presents a succession
of praires, with no settlements, villages,
cities or forests TO intercept the cold or di-
minish the violence of the northers Be
yond these prairies are plains and deserts
Thus exposed, she receives the full breath
of the north in its icy purity and original
violence.
The coolest winter months are December,
January and February. November and
March are generally mild, and more like
spring and fall months than any other in
the calendar; but, inasmuch as there are
only two seasons acknowledged here, in
consequence of the sudden change from
summer to winter and from winter to sum
mer March and November are reckoned
among the winter months. For the same
reasons, April and October, which more
nearly correspond with March and Novem-

1t Is the intention Of Messrs. II. L Brad
ford & Co., To have their new mill com
pleted at rs early a day as possible, and
when finished it will be an improvement on
the old one and an ornament to that part
of the village in which it is situated.
Some four years ago several ladies' of
this village, thinking that one evening in
the week might be profitably spent in read
ing, from Shakespeare and other standard
works, formed Il society, which they dcs-
ignalcd the " Slakespearian Club and
which has been kept up until the present
time. At the time of the organization it
was decided and wisely too, that as they
were 10 meet from week to week with diff
fcrcnt members Of the society, thai the
club should never number over fifteen. and
although applications to join with them are
frequently made, the rule hasneyer yet been
broken over. Monday evenings they meet
with some member and pass an
hour or two in reading and social
visiting. Mrs. John V. Hall is president of
the society Miss Katie Root, secretary. 1t
is their CUSTOM on each yearly anniversary
of the club to give an entertainment at
which time each lady can invite one friend.
As is proper the married ladies generally
invite their husbands to accompany them,
the single ladies', Of course they invite
some friend. Last Friday evening they
gave a sheet and pillow case party at the

'Thc MiddIebury Conference.

We are credibly Informed that nearly all
of the gentlemen who attended the So
called political conference at Middlebury
on the goth ult., from Addison county,
were wholly unaware of the object Of the
meeting and had nothing whatever to do
with originating it. They were summoned
to meet by a circular issued by a. 5. Tracy
and J. NJ. Slade, Jr., of Middlebury, acopy
of which has been already published. Most
of them attended ont of curiosity to learn
what this unique political development
might mean, and not designing to commit
themselves to any candidates who might be
suggested. On assembling, however, they
found that those who originated the meet
ing had to propose only that, as the Free
Press suggests, which ''amOunted to just
as near nothing as could he" II any
''plan'' or ''slatc' had been devisedby them
it was for some cause kept a secret at the
conference and neither openly or privately
was il disclosed and why these gentlemen
were thus summoned together seems to he
regarded by the victims of this huge joke
as ''what no fellow can find out"

Some time since we gave you a brief de
scription of the farm of Mr.. f. Gould, jr.,
of Hampton, N. V. the manner in which
he made butter, etc, and also spoke of his
vinegar works. A more extended account
of the latter may not be uninteresting. He
has a large glass vinegar house, capable of
holding some two hundred and fifty bar
rels. These he keeps about half filled with
vinegar. Should he have an order for ten
barrels of vinegar, he commences to draw
about two quarts from each barrel until the
order is filled, and at once supplies its place
with cider, the next order beng taken
from the barrels remaining. He never puts
sugar, molassees, tobacco, brown paper or
any of the numerous ingredients generally
used for its manufacture into his vinegar,
while it is sold very cheap. Mr.. Gould is
a man of sterling character and always
does as he agrees. If your friends ''around
the corner" will send over a cask we will
send them some of Goulds vinegar which
we guarantee will make them sharper.
