together with good round number of city
guests at the public houses whose names |
am not prepared to report at this writing
Rev. G. +. Hunting, on his return from
the north part of the sJatc toward home In
the west, remained at Castleton few days
He will be remembered as the popular poet
at the late commencement in Burlington.
Since that he has read his poem in two
towns in Vermont and one in Massachu-
sets, realizing from the same nearly one
hundred dollars. Castleton people feel an
interest in his welfare, as lie fitted for col.
lege in our seminary and afterwald mar

Mrs. Howe, the wife of John Howe for
merly of Castleton, and Miss Sarah Mason,
the daughter of G. w. Mason, have come

at the state normal school and ut the semi
nary here.
Mrs. Hawkins, n graduate of our cduca-
tiOnal institutions and an accomplished

is competent to fill the position with honor
to herself and her alma mater.
Rev. G. A. Barrett, the newly appointed
principal of the state normal school and
seminary, will move from Port Henry here
the present week. Mr.. b. is a graduate Of
the Vermont university at Burlington, and
comes to his new position highly com
mended from trustworthy sources as a
man, teacher and preacher.
A young chap, school master by pro.
fessiOn, fitted himself out with tent and
other things needed for a camp-out of
few days on the bank of Lake Bomoseen
during his vacation, and when, on the eve
of his departure, he asked one of his friends
who ID always ready to give good advise
gratis, what he should take along with him
tor rations or refreshments, he advised him
to lay in 81 pounds good broad side pork
7x0 u doz. long green cucumbers, and a
pint and half of old Jamaica rum. He
accepted of all but the last. In place of
the rum he took beans, and in a few days
returned home hale, healthy and hearty rs
need be.
Catnip Is on the decline in Castleton.
Peanuts are lively and can be found in any
quantity. Provinder is plenty in tho town
joining ON the west; for proof would refer
you to letter in recent issue of the
Poultney Journal over the graceful and
amiable signature of "riger." All but the
Bengal l suppose. POSTER.
NEW HAVEN MILLS.
Mr.. +. Hanchett is erecting commo-
dious barn, 20 by AZ feet, ON the site of
those destroyed by lightning short time
ago.
Farmers in this vicinity have finished
haying the hay crop is good, though not
as much In quantity as some years, yet ex-
ira in qauality.
The grain harvested thus far is better
than was anticipated early in the season, on
account of dry weather.
Late grain, corn, and potatoes were get
| ting very dry, but the refreshing Inins dur
ing the past week were timely, and the
prospect now is an abundant harvest.
This is very pleasant little village, sur
rounded by a good farming country but
there is always something wanting to make
place just right now what we lack is a
store and grist mill, both of which would
be pay ing establishments, especially the
latter, and better water power cannot be
found in Vermont.
