Ottmuquechec Valley Poultry
Exhibition.

The First Annual Exhibition of the
Ottauquechee Valley Poultry Society
was held at the Town Hall, Dec. 10th,
and was a success in every respect
This Society was organized Oct. last,
and since then It's members have been
constantly increasing until it now bids
fair to become not only permanent
organization, but one that will out
rank any Of the kind in this State. Its
object is to awaken an interest in the
breeding Of the Gallinaceous, and to
keep up in all the improvements of
modern poultry.raising. 1t is also on
good financial footing and its Off
GERS are wide awake men whose
knowledge and judgment can but as
sure the success of their undertaking.
The doors of the Hall were opened to
the public at 10 Il. H., when every
coop was in its proper place and well
labelled as to pedigree age DC,
of its occupants The Hall was open
until 10 p. H., and was crowded, there
being great many ladies prese mt.
On entering the Hall we could but
pause minute and listen to the
hoarse ejaculation OF the male poultry.
And we could not but think of the
"Cock that crowed in the morn, that
awoke the Priest all shaveu and
shorn," and who could blame the
Priest for awaking at such loud eX-
alting.
We were first attracted to Il hand
some row OF six coops, containing
light Brahmas, and we must candiuly
say it was the best exhibition by any
one person. They were the property
of MIR. Geo. Davis of East Montpe-
lier and added much to the success OF
the exhibition. One cock we are told
was awarded the first premlum-an
expensive silver cup-at the last ex-
hibitoE at Horticultural Hall, Boston
Mr.. DAVIS also had two coops of fine
Partridge Cochins. AS space does
not permit and as we give below list
of premiums, it is needless to enter
in to incidental details, so we will
call at tention to only the important at
fractions The east part of the dali
was devoted exclusively to the Leg
Horn pursuasion, the competitors and
breeders being many. MIR. {. NJ.

handsome light Brahmas, ana A. II.

As our eyes rested on the largest
turkey-only 80 lbs.,-we could only
think OF our coming Christmas and
envy the man who would whet his
knife OH this bird. 1t was the property
of Fred Vaughn. A pair of Peacocks

indicate that IL Will welcome JEFF Davis

our contemporaries seem 10 be making them
selves unnecessarily unhappy over the al
surd idea OF Jef's return 10 the Senate. In

The depOsitors of the Freedmen's bank
suffer so much at best that they should low
receive every possible accommodation. Tle
time wasted by some of them will be OF more
value than the money they receive. Amorg
them are gentlemen to whom waiting in
such line as forms every day is almost
uncomfortable. Yet they must endure it or
else wait longer and go half dozen times 10
get an acceptable chance. If this could not
be helped we would say nothing. But il can
be. Let Mr.. Leopold, tomorrow morning,
station boy at the door with a box of con-
secutive numbers. Let the boy give one ia
its order TO each depOSitor as he appears
first come, first served. Then pay the holders
Cf the numbers in the same order. As soon
as dePositOr is paid, pass his number back
10 the boy again. Ode package of numbers
in his hands tells the boy at any moment
low many ne has issued, and the other how
many have been paid. No long line need be
pTeserved-each man having only to be at
the counter when his number is called. Toe
teller can give the average time it takes to
make a payment, and the boy can impart
this information al the door. 1t wolld work
thus: Mr.. a. appears; the bank is already
full; he receives number 81 Al the door, the
boy who gives it has just received back from
the counter number 20; he tells Mr.. \. that
80 depositors are ahead of him, and gives
Linn the average time these will consume.
Mr.. A. goes about his business, knowing that
he loses nothing by doing so, and that about
a certain hour he can come and be paid
exactly in his turn. or course he would not
be ,C0ited for, and the next number would be
paid If he were not on hand. We have seen
tie plan work beautifully in analogous
business.
