THE New APPRAISAL OF REAL ESTATE
does not appear to be entirely satisfactory
to all persons in certain towns. In Barre
we learn over thirty appeals were taken
to the Board of Civil Authority. In Ber-
lin some fifteen or more appeals were
taken, and the Civil Authority are to be
convened in the Town Hall at o'clock on
Saturday next to hear and make final de-
cision relative to these appeals.
NEW DRAIN.-The lower part of State
street has lot of drain tile piled up at its

good drain from the lower corner of State
House yard down the street
A LITTER OF CALvEs.-George and Or
rim Blanchard of Williamstown are the
fortunate owners of Il COW which produces
calves by the wholesale. On the 18th of
June probably in commemoration of the
battle of Bunker HILL Or the great labor of
the State Convention in providing the state
with a governor, this cow gave birth to
four perfect and healthy calves, the total
weight of the four being 14S pounds The
progeny consists of three bulls and one
heifer, and all were smart and lively as
kittens at last advices. The weightiest of
the bovines pulls the scales at 40 pounds,
while the lightest is the heifer, weighing
only 80 pounds. The same COW is reported
to have had seven calves in the last fifteen
months-her previous progeny having been
triplets. If she keeps on in this way she
will not have teat apiece for the next
| litter
NoRTHFIELD.--The Sunday evening
temperance meeting was presided over by
Mr.. 0. d. Edgerton. Singing by the choir
and prayer offered by Rev. A. Hitchcock
The audience then listened to very well
delivered address from Hon. Charles II
Heath of Montpelier, who made some ve1y
good points on moral suasion, believing, as
all men must, that there is class in al
most every community that cannot be per-
suaded, only by the execution of the law,
which is very apt to operate successfully
if enforced.
The saloon and billiard table keepers in
Mortified have been notified by the Sc
