Sickness has prevailed at Readsboro

seldom equalled. Some over twenty
deaths since the LIST of October, all of
Diptheria excepting two or three. No
deaths this side Of the city. Only two
very light cases in this village during
the time, and none now All now sick in
town are reported recovering, Jason p.
Lord has lost three daughters nearly
grown TO wommanhood. M. M. Hough-
ton lost his only child boy some 10
years old } and his wife. His own life
was despaired of for time. Two young
men, sons of Mr.. Sprague of Searsburg,
and five boys among the victims. Others
-one from family make up the long
list of the lamented. The heroism of
some of the nurses has never been ex-
celled by any battle field, and may have
fallen, no doubt, by exposure as nurses,
Let no one say this disease is not conta-
gous. Its workings in this town stamp
it as fact beyond dispute We hope
and indeed it now seems, that it is subsi-

YOunnan's

Dictionary of everyday wants, is the title
of new work being published and is
one of the most remarkable books of
the day, containing as it does reference
to every conceivable subject under the
sun, and in itself it is complete and
practical library, so arranged as to be
invaluable in the household, on the farm,
in the counting room or workshop.
The object of all study and the end
of all wisdom is practical utility, and
Youman's collection of many thousand
tried and approved aids and suggestions
in all the arts of domestic and social life,
may be considered as volume contain
ing nearly the whole of the wisdom of
man worthy of presentation. The work
embodies the result of two years hard
and patient labor among all manner of
practical and observing men, and con-
tains the latest and best of everything
found anywhere and everywhere. The
cost of the first edition of Youman's die
tionary has been immense, nearly five
thousand dollars paid to writers for
special articles contributed, electrotype
plates, &c 1t is new in everything.
Neither time nor expense has been con-
sidered in endeavoring to make it better
and cheaper than any other book of a
like nature that has yet been published
All recent improvements and discover
les up to date have been included. Ev-
cry possible care has been taken in the
compilation, and it is unquestionably the
best book of the kind ever published,
either in this country or in Europe.
No other book now issued can APP
proach it in completeness of matter and
arrangement. Everyone who desires to
purchase knowledge cheap should not
fail to obtain copy of this most valu-
able work. 1t contains just the practi-
cal knowledge all will find of value and
is we'll worth an examination. 1t is sold

Letter From Florida.
Straw berries-Green Peas and Oranges

] IbefhOmetef cS~.
Mr.. j. w. Lockwood of Springfield,
but well known in this place, writes to
Mr.. E. I. Day of this village, under
date of Jan. 81, at Mandarin, Florida,
from which we make the following ex-
tract:
We are rather enjoying summer in
mid winter. The leaves are green on
the trees and now as / look out of the
window can see roses, blackberries and
yellow jasmine in blossom. We have
green peas and ripe Strawberries peo-
pie are planting cane and Irish potatoes /;
they will plant their sweet potatoes in
March and April they are carrying
beets, carrots, turnips, cabbages and
lettuce to market; oranges are plenty on
the trees, and it is great pleasure for
any northern man to see from one to
to three or four thousand oranges on one
tree. You may think it large story,
but have seen great many orange
groves in this vicinity and some of the
trees think, are foot through, and /
have been told that one man near this
place had one tree in his grove that bore
one year $4,000 oranges. 1t is uncom-
mon to find as many on one tree. but fire.
quently three to four thousand. Oranges
here sell from one and one-half to three
and four cents each. The Indian River
oranges sell from four to FIVE cents each.
Sweet potatoes sell here from forty to
fifty cents per bushel, and Irish or north
ern potatoes for about 81 rs to 81 So per
bushel.
Mr. Lockwood incloses in his letter
with the above quite variety of bios
SONS, flowers and other plants, among
them are the blackberry blossom, yellow
jessamine, rose, and also what is known
as Hound tongue" (the botanical name
Cynoglossum oicinale.) The leaves are
very long and fragrant. In speaking of
the country Mr.. L, says it is very fine
place for a northern person to spend the
winter, but there are two sides to every
thing and it is not all honey in Florida,
and that there are many comforts at the
north not to be found there On Satur-
day, Jan 80, the thermometer marked
$50 above zero.

Westminster Farmers Club

4 w. " Lotcs
Subject" Would it be for the inter-
est of the people of Westminster to
raise more than nine cents on a dollar
of the grand list of the town for the sup
port of our common schools ?"
p. d. KEYEs. i have always thought
there was something wrong about our
common school system. The unequal
taxation of individuals for their support
has furnished just reason for complaint
on the part of many. | consider the
new law requiring one half of our pnb-
lie money to be divided equally among
the different districts without regard to
size, movement in the right direction.
| was in hopes our legislature would
move further and vote more money for
the support of common schools. When
we were required to board and to fur
nish wood upon the scholar, many tax
payers escaped paying what appeared
to be right ! believe every man should
contribute to the support Of our common
schools in proportion to what he is worth.
| am not quite ready to accept the town
system, but think we should raise more
money on the grand list of the town.
In Putney taxes range from II to SO
cents on a dollar for the support of equal.
ly good schools, an inequality which
should in some way be remeoied. IF il
can be shown by figures that we approx
innate to an equality of taxation, by rails
ing more money on the grand list of the
town, | see no reason that could b.
brought against such an action.
GEO. NJ. CHAsE.-Iam far from being
familiar with this subject l am aware
however that our school and town taxel
are enormous. The business of manag
ing our schools appears to be in tn,
hands of few. Too many of us lister
to Others without figuring for ourselves
Many desire to consolidate our schools
and take the rights of the different dis
tricts from them. We needsome system
that will enable us to school our chill
dren in our own districts under the guild
ance of those personally interested il
their welfare. / think the more none,
we can raise on the town grand list ant
not overpay the expenses in any district
the nearer we approximate to an equa
taxation, though / have never seen tn
, figures.

call for figures l take this opportunit,

SaxtOn's River School District CUES
ton.

Thinking that perhaps your Beaver
Dam correspondent is either ignorant
of the facts in the case or $50 blind that
he won't see,' | take the liberty to re-
view and comment upon some of his re-
marks.
First let me say that | almost wish
you had had room and had thought best
to published the whole communication
even at the risk of introducing more I'M
courteous and absurd remarks, so that
we who have been characterized as Ku-
Klux might have had the whole chill
of particulars"
In regard to the district records of
No. 10, | can truly say that the question
of consolidation, in its present aspect,
has never been voted upon, at least but
once within the past twenty years. And
the reason why the high school project
has been defeated, two or three times
within the past ten years" Beaver Dam "
could undoubtedly tell us Off he would
in treatise on what | know about
throwing out legal voters" Some of the
voters here wishing to give the opposi-
ton all the possible reputation for truth
and veracity, surmise that at their secret
meeting in the Beaver Dam school house,
after transacting other necessary bust
ness probably the collection of money
to fee lawyers with &c.) they voted not
to consolidate four or five consecutive
times, more or less, and thus they make
out the eight times" And again, MIR
able dictu, he intimates that the Yer
mont Legislature endeavored to assist
the Ku-Klux in their wicked designs. y
We dare say that this is the first instance
where New England legislature has
aided and abetted such fiendish organi-
cation.
We think ourselves within bounds when
we say that those opposed to consolida
ton and improvement have had more
teams and as much "foaming' in both
parishes, as the friends of the movement
and we dare say that in this very hill
and dale, every woodland and plain il
Westminster has resounded with the al
potent argument and cry, God save u
from the clutches of district No. 81"
Now are we to conclude that the hand
some majority at Westminster in favor
of "concurring," was due to the all ter
rifying influence of the Ku Klux, OIL
that the good judgement of the people
and their interest in education was tn,
powerful factor?
We are inclined to the latter opinion
notwithstanding Beaver Dam" may diff
! fer with us, and if it was in his powe
call for " federal interference"
, But seriously, without going into an,
r argument here, we are confident that tn
friends of consolidation, by presenting
, the facts in the case, can convince an
fair minded, unprecedented person tina
consolidation is the best thing for the ed
: vocational interests of the place.

CONCERNING Mas. u. S. GRANT.-
Mrs. Joseph r. Hawley writes to the
Hartford Times, correcting statement
of correspondent of that journal con
corning the wife Of President Grant.
The correspondent charged that Mrs
Grant had " cold manners and had her
friendly notes answered by secretary.
Mrs. Hawley writes that Mrs. Grant
has suffered for years from severe in
fammation of the eyes, (which affects
her sight so much that she cannot recog-
nize faces unless very near indeed to the
person, and this necessarily affects her
manner in public, as she often cannot
tell to whom she is speaking. OF course
her notes of friendship must be an
swered by secretary, for she cannot
see to write even to her own children,
when they are separated from her. Is
it not pity to give SO wrong an i'm
preston of kind and true-hearted wo-
man, suffering under so great an attic
ton? Are there many of us who, under
such circumstances, would deserve the
praise which all unite in giving her, as
a good housekeeper, good wife and
mother"
