Those who have paid for the FARMER in
advance are not to read this paragraph. 1t
is only for those who we're in arrears for
their paper in 1874, and remain b, now.
They are all requested to pay up at once,
for two reasons firstly, We want the money
to buy paper and pay printers with; Sec
ondly there are most likely few among
them who are never going to pay, and we
want to know who they are.

Our item about getting lead pencils cheap,
a few weeks ago, has called out a good
many responses from oranges and councils
who want to know where to get them.
Since that item was written we have looked
further and find we can DO better yet. For
- cents per dozen, cash 10 advance, Hiram
Atkins, Montpelier, will send the "American
cedar" pencils, postage paid, to any address.
These are an excellent pencil, as to quality
of lead, and, though wood.colorsd, are well
finished and by no means bad looking. For
II cents per dozen, neat looking black
pencil, "Faber's steam boat" though the
lead in those We got was rather crumbly.
For % cents per dozen, he will send the
american pocket" pencils, handsome
black pencil, and the No. rs Of this kind
which we have been using arc fully equal
to the best Faber pencil we ever saw. We
don't think any one wanting pencils can do
better than to order few of the "Ameri.
can pocket" or american cedar" The
latter would be our choice, as good pencil
for a small price.

i Ii has occurred 10 number of our
citizens that suitable monument should
be erected in The Central Park, in men,
ory of the late ELIAS HOWE, JR., the
inventor of the sewing machine. and
tha: the money should lie raised by
voluntary offerings of not more iian one
dollar each from ladies who have known
the benefits of the Invention. Elias

yourg girls, and in no instance did they
blush or show evidence of discompo-

fect:y that It Was work of art, and
nothing else. upon which they were
gazing. None of the lady visitors-at

had for such exhibition any of those
ayerted glances, the strained pretense
of being offended, the color of false
modesty mounting Into their faces,

sees SO often among our American wo-

the side of tie French women. Shethen

respect We have good deal to learn
from French and English women, and
which, when learned, will be of great
service to our American fair sex. There
Is not. perhaps. any particular merit in
the case OF these French women, for
the reason that they are brought up
among art surroundings, in whose case
nature, when betrayed, is without con-

public squares, the monuments, present
these women with innumerable speci-
mems of nature given without any at

The gates were closed, and the well

until there were none left to devour the
wounded. The horses were carefully
rubbed and tended, and by-and-by ju-

a way to recover their expended ener-
gies. But how about the two men?
Immediately on entering the ground.
behind the high walls of which they
were safe, the count sent for brandy
and hot water. The Englishman had
tainted at last from excitement and ex-

with some honey, and made Ivan drink
it as hot as possible, but to his compan-

fulls at time, until he brought him

The heavy SHOWS had cut off all sources
of food from the wolves, and had thus
rendered them ravenous. At most sea-
sons of the year, they were very shy,
and were hunted with perfect safety, it
being only necessary to avoid them af-
ter night-fall, when they were apt to
herd in packs, in order to fight such
animals as were superior to themselves,
unless attacked by numbers at the same
time.
