One who has higher ideas of his duties and

A. w. GRAY K Sons advertise in another
column their horse-powers for saving wood
and threshing grain, and having used and
seen used these machines we are fully per.
suaded they are the best in market, and,
what is more, the recent shipment by this
firm of large orders to Chill
and Germany, to parties who visited the
Centennial and after patient investigation
and trial Of the many machines exhibited
selected the Grays as the best to be found,
is pretty good proof that our judgment is
correct. These machines have great simple.
ity Of construction, great durability in SER
vice, and perform excellent work. Mark
Twain says cook stoves are getting SO per-
fected that it will soon need skilled engin.
eer to run one, and 50 of many other ma
chimes, but one of the commendable features
Of the Gray's power is their great simplicity,
and ease with which they are managed. From
oil we can learn Messrs. Gray are men whose
personal and business character is not only
above reprOach but such as to commend them
TO all.

The STATE board of agriculture meets next
week, March 8 and 0, in Bristol, and, unless
the people Of that wide awake town do what
tehy never did yet, to our knowledge, the meet
inglwill be one of the best of the winter and we
do not forget Peacham, Woodstock, High
gate or Stowe. The fact is, we have lived
in Bristol and know whereof we speak. The
people of that town take hold of such things
as though they meant business, and they DO.
Lincoln and Starksboro are "handy by" and
will turn cut nObIy in way, in fact, to chal-
lenge the enterprise of our neighbOrs in Dan
vile. Monkton will get out to the meetings
ii not too busy "making roads," and those
Monktonites will work out the most road

ever knew. We assure our friends in Addi-
son county that they will have a "rousing"
meeting in Bristol whether anybody goes or
not, 50 don't stay at home to defeat it.

AMERICAN BEEF.-The rinderpest is max.

there will be in consequence something of a
demand for American beef. More than
three hundred tons are now shipped to Lon.

pertinent has thus far proved so successful
that the enterprise is to be prosecuted on a
large scale. The reirigerators which are
placed on steamers for the purpose Of trans.
