PLANT A GRAPE VINE FIRsT-An ex-
change says: Not one Farmer in twenty
will buy grapes or other fruit for himself
aud family; but grapes are 50 easily and
cheaply grown that no family with a rod
of ground should be without few vines,
Grapes can be got in bearing earlier than
any other fruit, excepting Strawberries,
and with we'll rooted layers | have had
one bunch of grapes the first year after
setting. Yet many man spends $50 to
800 in setting an apple orchard, which
will not bear till six or eight years after,
who would begrudge s. for dozen OF
vines of the choicest grapes, which he
might eat in two years, and have an
abundance before five years had passed
l de not object to extensive and early
planting of apple orchards, "this ought
We to have done, and not have left the
other undone." 1t seems to me that the
first duty of a settler on new land Is tc
plant Immediately half dozen grape
vines, and after that as many as he can
afford. Fresh fruit is necessity to the
health of family, and nothing Is more
quickly, easily or cheaply grown than
grapes.

More Stupid than Trickish.

The late change in the postal laws in
regard to the transportation OF merchan-
disc through the mails has become ex-
tremely obnoxious to the people by al
most excluding transient newspapers
from the mail bags. There has been but
one opinion in regard to the power be-
hind the p. o. that dictated this law
this Bismarcking was, of course, done by
the officers of the express companies.
These parties accept the honor, and very
craciously come forth with an explana-
ton of the way the thing was done, and
deny having anything to do with that
feature of the bill which is most obnoX-
ious to the people; that is, increasing the
rates of postage on transient newspapers.
In the Erpressman, magazine supposed
to be the organ of these companies, the
explanation alluded to is given. 1t con-
fesses, or rather boasts, that this change
was made under pressure from the ex-
press companies; but it is claimed that
nothing further was intended than to re-
strict the transportation of merchandise
by mail, and that they had no design to
NEEDLE with the newspaper department
and, according 10 the zsprssssnan, this
was simply blunder ON the part of Con-
gressmen.
Undoubtedly many of the chatting and
crushing burdens imposed upon the peo-
pie are the result of stupidity rather than
trickery. Most men would rather be
called knaves than fools. and the people
have been too consideratc of the feelings
Of their Legislators in comforting upon
them the first of these titles; and in the
present brisk demand for "good, true
men," we must be extremely careful that

THE Rural World tells how to keep a
gate post from sagging, and the plan is
very simple: Set the hanging post 81
feet in the ground, lamp well at the bot
tom, on the side opposite the gate; then
dig trench six inches deep from one
post to the other; in this put 3x4 scant-
ling, or apole Of white oak, black walnut,
mulberry, or some other lasting timber,
seeing that it just fills the space between
the two gate posts, and cover with earth ;
and the gate will stand as you hang it
until the post rots off.

IVEiBRIDGE.

The quiet village of Weybridge had
an excitement last week worthy of Brook.
Ign. On Thursday the presiding elder Of
the Burlington district and a gentleman
from Middlcbury, actuated no doubt from
worthy motives, and gentleman from
Mt. Tabor, came to this place and it is
alleged took course which cannot be
justified either in law or morals. 1t
seems that II young lady, formerly of
Mount Tabor has been a member of the
family of Rev. Mr.. Porter for two or
:hrco months, as household assistant.
The gentleman with whom the young
lady was living in Mount Tabor, Mr..
Pember, made charges against Mr.. Por-
ter Of improper conduct and especially Of
inducing her to run away. These charges
were sufficiently impressive to induce the
presiding elder to order an investigation
of Rev. Mr.. Porter which will be held
next Tuesday. The performances of
these three investigating gentlemen, how
ever, were such as to excite great deal
of feeling against them and much sympa-
thy for the accused, among his parishion.
ers and friends in Weybrdge. Their
method, in the first place savored too
much of art and trickery. They stopped
in wood about n mile back and the ell.
derproeeeded to the parsonage alone, took
Mr.. Porter off out Of the way and when
the coast was clear the other gentlemen
came up and called for Miss Allen. The
young lady was out in the field berrying,
so, by show of authority, q guide was
found to take them to her. She came
to the house and Mr. Pember attempted
to force her into his carriage. BY this
time a crowd had gathered and that was
prevented. A demand for authority to
take such action led to a confession that
they had none. After some consultation,
however, Miss Allen consented TO 20 to
Dandy on promise that she be allowed
to return soon. The excitement runs
high and it is conceded by all that the
action of the aocusers was highly improp.
er under any possible circumstances Of
the case, and it is generally thought, in
this community there is no ground what
ever for the charges preferred against
Mr.. Porter.
