In the midst of the trial of State as Casey
some one came into the court room crying
fire the court forgot his dignity, the sher-
if his prisoner, the lawyers their briefs
and altogether rushed to the fire. 1t was
soon found to be a dwelling house about
one half mile east OF the village. The fire
was soon extinguished but not until good
deal of damage had been done to the house
by those who seemed to have left all pres
ence of mind behind them. The fire caught

On Wednesday evening, March %, in
the Congregationalst vestry, Mr.. Sbedd,
the state grange lecturer, delivered an adj
dress, subject, patrons Of Husbandry," to
a crowded house, in very pleasing and &C
ceptabc. In the course Of his remarks he
dwelt at some length and argued quite
forcibly the questions "How shall we make
our homes more pleasant" and "What
method shall We adopt to induce our sons
and daughters TO remain in our New Eng
land homes, instead of going west, and to
other places of greater attractions p Now
these questions are very simple, and yet OF
great magnitude, and apparently should
egross the mind and interest OF every father
and mother in the land who have sons and
daughters to educate for the great drama
of LIES battles. They are answered only
finement and true culture around the fire
side Of the farmers home. We believe
there is no place on earth where farmers
home can be made more pleasant than on
the rocky hillsides of Vermont. Union at
heart, frsternal love, peace ever Astounding
will surely bring contentment, and with
the motto II cam inscribed on the banner
OF all our actions, together with practical
wisdom and industry, will surely bring that
success, happiness and worldly prosperity
to the farmers home, know to no other
class on earth.
