ing by the bill of fare as announced
elsewhere, there will be "lotS of fun"

Those interested in good horses will
do well to read Mr.. Towle's letter in
another column on SPAWN, Ring Bone,
Etc with Methods of Treatment. We
are informed that Mr.. Towle is one of
the best agricultural writer's in Yer
mont, and no doubt his Investigations
on this subject will be of great benefit
to horse owners. Messrs. Rawson 81
Pottle have for sale land personally
voueh for the efficacy of it) "Kcndalls
SPAWN Cure" They also have few
copies left of DR.. Kendalls "Treatise
Oh the Horse and his Diseases" a copy
of which should be in the hands of
every farmer and others who use
horses.
The Secret Service Bureau has dis
covered that counterfeiting d being
carried on extensively by means of
photography. Chief Brooks of the
Secret Service during the last three
months has gathered large number
of counterfeit notes fhat have been
made with the camera, and SO skillful-
ly made as to be accepted by many
banks. Ordinarily the fibre paper,
and not the elaborate steel-work of the
Government engravers, mas been the
best protection against counteTfeits.
But the photograph gives the exact
reproduction of the fibre, paper, and
the counterfeit is only detected by the
use of a penknife to determine whether
the fibre is a mere semblance or the
reality.
The 10th census Of the United States
is to be taken and completed during
the month of June 1880. In view of
the requirements of the law, and of
the great Importance of accurate
statistical information relative to agri-
culture, it is deemed to be highly. de-
sirable that farmers should prepare
themselves in advance to give the in
formation with promptness and &C
curacy. 1t is urgently recommended,
therefore, that agricultural journals
and the officers of agricultural societies
and clubs give publicity to this an
nouncement, and that all persons en-
gagged in agriculture who shall receive
circular, or shall see it in the pub
JIG prints, make notes from time to
time of the quantities and values OF
their several crops gathered, and the
number of acres of land planted, in
order that their statements, when
made to the enumerators, may be OF
the highest possible value. We hope
our farmers will attend to this and
will make it their business to put down
the number and value of all products
raised by them as it is a matter of nc
little importance and will undoubtedly
rebound to the credit of our county.
Since the 23rd instant the inhabi-
tants of the quiet town of Jay, have
been in a state of great excitement
owing to the disappearance of little
girl named Ploof, four years of age
The youngster strayed off on that day
with other children to gather beech
nuts in the wood, but as she Jagged in
