Uses to blossom like a green bay tree, or,

ton wood trees. The cottonwood tele-
graph poles along the route have sprout-
ell and give promise of two continuous
lines of shade trees on each side of that

Oft its newneSs, the railroad companies
ought to do something to take away the

many OF their lines possess. The English

Vermont Historical Gazetteer.

Wessrs. Editors by struggling nearly twenty
years we have issued the history Of one hundred
and forty-eight towns eleven counties-in three
large volumes Of about twelve hundred pages
each; and propose to complete the state by two
more Volumes Volume w., Washington and
Windham counties; Volume ", Windsor county
Orwell, vergennes, swanton, Elmore Derby, not
included in the published volumes, and supple
ment for all the towns who shall bring down their
history for the first two years We engage to
complete the work the coming year, II we secure
the printing. All we ask the Legislature for, Is
to vote that the state buy enough to pay the print
ing OF the last two.
Whatw become OF this mass Of historical
material, we have been 30 many years gathering
that many persons have expended 20 much
labor on in which much of interest in many towns
has been garnered by men already In their graves
which we have not seen esewhere2 Ii the possible
GOODNESS Of the legislature for the completion OF
this work should fail to meet our moderate APP
peal, | cannot say what would become OF all
this mass Of town, county and state history and
biography In all It's branches. No one can sup
pose we would be willing to see another in our
lifetime possess and edit our papers. The heirs
OF several of our writers clamor for the papers,
because not yet published. Shall we again scatter
back all thus called for, to never again be gath
cred up? We are hardly able to wait longer and
resist the clamor. We must proceed II we would
finish the work. 1t is equally for every town
in the state, and we have brought it to the
legslature--it dies or il AUes ,oith them. But we
do look for them in wisdom and kindness to
crown it by their assistance with success.

it: "Mr. Phillips discharged his duties as d.

same is true of the pianist, Mr.. W. A. Briggs, of
Montpelier whose Accomplishments and brilliantly
executed solos won the warmest praise from all.
The soloists, Mrs. W. A. Briggs of Montpelier and
Mrs French of Manchester, N H., were listened
to with II quiet attention and applauded with an
enthusiasm that must have assured them that
they fully succeeded in their efforts to please the
audience, which was certainly the case, and it is
seldom that we hear artists Of sucn real merit in
this place. The singers report the drill which
they enjoyed under Mr. Phillips direction as being
both very pleasant and profitable"

CABoT-The crops are all garnered and as near
as we can ascertain are about as follows: Hay, on
the whole, IL about an average crop, selling now
for ten dollars per ton at the barn; oats yield
well but are light in weight, selling at from
thirty-tive to thiityeight cents; there is a full
average crop Of wheat throughout the town, but
not much of this is sold, most Of 1t being con-
sumed by producers; the barley crop is said to be
light; buckwheat and India wheat are also light
the corn crop is good, ON the whole more than an
average selling for eighty cents per bushel; pota-
toes are very light, some pieces however, have
given full an average yield, selling readily at the
depot for seyenty-iye cents; there Is only about
one-thiId of crop of turnips, owing to the late
frosts in the spring and the dry weather In the
summer on the hills the crop OF apples Ia full a
middling one, while In the valleys II was de-
stroyed by the late frost in the spring Butter

been eighteen cents while some lots have reached
eighteen and one-haf cents, and some have sold
as high rs nineteen cents per pound. Our town

fined five dollars and costs amounting to one dol
lar making six dollars in all; another five dol
lars and seven dollars and twenty cents costs
making twelve dollars and twenty cents while
the third was fined five dollars and fifteen dol

rienee. Mr.. Hinkley, from the same part OF the

UNLESS parents know from experience the value
OF tips in protecting their childrens shoes from
wear at the toe, they will be greatly helped in
deciding what kinds to purchase by examining
their children's old shoes. They will find them
through at the toe, while the balance of the shoe
may be but little worn. The silver upon heavy
and the A. S. T. Co. beautiful black tip upon fine
shoes, prevent this and thus reduce shoe bills
