turbed in this employment, By the entrance Of
twenty-five Of their friends aud neighbors, who

ton informed them that they were mistaken
by just one year; that it had been but fourteen
years but after some figuring, reckoning cacu-
lating etc, he was made to see the point, aud
concluded to put aside the meat and tools until
some future time. In a very short time the hos,
and hostess arra5 ed themselves in their Sabbath
day rig, a. peared among the company, aud did
their best to make each one enjoy himself
In the meantime the ladies were preparing boun'
tfnl repast in the dining-room, to which the com,
pany all sat down and did ample justice. After
hooking over the presents ETC. the company were
all gathered in the parlor when the Rev Mr.
Roberts made a few brief remarks, congatuatine
the happy couple upon their happy and prosper,
Gus life After this Rev, b. 5. Adams offered q
feryent prayer to Almighty God, kindly thanking
Him for the blessings that had attended so fal
upon their journey of life, and beseechins thai
the same might be continued unto them. They
then received the congratulations of their friend,
and after singing the doxology, and an hours
social chat, the company dispersed, kindly wish
ing that the happy couple might be permitted Il
see many ANNIVERSARIES Of this kind, until they
shall pass far beyond the one that shall be called
the golden wedding.

GREEN MOUNTAIN RAILROAD, The meeting Of
the corporaos Of this road held at Rochester last
Thursday, was well attended, and decided degree
Of interest in the success of the road was eynced
The following board of directors were elected
John sprague, Of Greenfield, Mass Samuel
Wells, of Montpelier; Charles Morgan, of Roches-
ter; NJ c. Edmunds, Of Weston; and o. c, Fits,
of Wardsbors general discussion ensued, but
no definite action was taken 1t was evident that
the towns along the proposed line of the route are
thoroughly in earnest, and are willing to endure
almost any taxation TO secure IL. 1t is also EVIL
dent that some portion OF the road will be COM
menced the coming spring, though what portion II
will be- is as yet undecided. The citizens of Mad
River valley, too appear to be unwilling to be for
ever deprived of railroad facilities, and are NOV
ing to secure them. Warren has called her town
meeting to see ii the town will bond in aid Of the
railroad for the 2lst inst Watsfeld and fays-
ton are to follow on the odd and 23d respectively.
Granville aud Hancock are also about to hold
meetings for the same purpose. II is believed
that all these towns will vote the aid required.
There appears to be considerable apathy among
our people concerning this road. This is not
right The road will be a valuable one for Us.
The matter should Mt least, be carefully investl-
gated and such action taken as viii be for the
best interests Of the place.

view Of this winter. Hear him: % The coming
winter certainly will not be an agreeable one,
First cold, really So will set in about the 2Sth Of
November, and continue for nearly week. 1t
will be warmer about the 9Th Of December, and
then cold for another week. 1t will DO warmer
from the 18th TO the 18Th, and then cold again.
About the 2Gh it will be warm, and about the 30th
cold, very cold, until January 9th; then warmer
till the 10Th; then very cold to the 10Th then
warmer for few days, followed by cold weather
till about the close Of the month. The month of
February will be very boisterous, generally warm,
but short spells of Intensely cold weather" Cut
