PECULIAR SORROWS.

There Is no sorroE that is peculiar to
any human being. In the myriad expe-
riences Of the human family the same
scenes Of trial. temptation and afhiction
are re-enaeted from year to year. The
unnumbered human hearts, framed aud
formed in all their deepest symPathies
By one creative hand. have in them lines
and characteristics Of likeness; aud the
JOYS and sorroEs Of any heart may find
their counterpart in hundreds Of thou
sands Of others. There hath no tempta-
tion taken you but such as are common
to man" Reproaeh, betrayal, bereave-
ment. affection. desOlation. the breaking
Of tender ties. and the sundering Of low

NOTES or TRAVEL.

Whilsa Sss,ng through nine of the
central towns in Windham county, had
good chance to see the apple crop in
region well adapted to the growth of
this fruit. The stories of the abundance
and cheapness are true, yet the apples
left to rot upon the ground, or for the
cattle to eat at pleasure, are mostly ma
tive, or natural fruit borne by ungrafted
trees.
The apples of popular varieties were
IN most cases carefully gathered for fam.
lily use and for sale. The Seeding trees
also bore largely and. as far as convent
ent were gathered for cider; usually,
one or two hundred bushels for cider
would satisfy farmer.
When cattle were first turned into an
orchard, it was considered best to watch
them and drive them from the apples
before they ate too many: but after two
or three days they could be allowed to
eat freely. Apples were also gathered
to feed to pigs and cattle in the stables /;
the sweet ones are considered of greater
value than sour ones. and for that rea-
son are kept back from the mill to the
detriment of the cider in some cases.
At cider mill in Pondville. an evap-
crater has been placed to boil the cider
to jelly. which puts it in its most CON-
pact form for market. l was told that
eight cents bushel was paid for apples.
Cider was sold for one dollar a barrel.

the jelly l did not learn.
A car load of apples was loaded at
BrattleborO for the grange in Holland,
Vt. for which one dollar a barrel was
paid. except one lot. sl.1O; these were
hand-picked and pressed in packing, SO
that they were tight in the barrels. In
Orleans county, where We spend from
twenty FIVE thousand to fifty thousand
dollars for apples when they can be pur-
chased. and only have them some years
as luxury where cider is retailed in
little jugs, one or two gallons in place,
at % to 80 cents a gallon. and the taste
of cider. boiled cider, cider jelly or cider
apple sauce is unknown to the majority,
it may be asked. What is the reason We
cannot raise apples in abundance here :?
| consider it is our cold climate alone
that prevents the thrifty growth of the
trees. The soil in Windham county il
sandy, stony. gravelly and poor in many
places, where trees are growing of al
ages up to seventy-fve years. As far a
can Judge of soil by its color, textur,
and general appearance, and by the gras
growing upon it, | think in fertility i
is far behind Orleans county.
In care of orchards, did not see any
thing except the Leglect usual here
Some farms had compact orchards; 9th
ers had trees here, there and everywher
as they came by chance. consider i
