Ryegate.


Colds prevail throughout town to an
alarming extent, hardly n family in
town but some member of it is nearly
PROSTATE with the prevailing distemper.
Some call it colds, others epizootic ;
but whatever it is, it is an epidemic
that very few escape. Miss Emma Gray
has been quite sick for the last two
weeks, with the prevailing epidemic,
but is slowly recovering.
The wind and snow last Saturday
night nearly demoralized some of our
roads leading east and west. The road
leading east from the Corner was so
badly filed, that several unsuccessful
attempts were made on Sunday to go
through.
The farmers in town, particularly
those who make butter-making a spe-
cialty, have been very busy the past
week harvesting their ice. Ten years
ago crop of ice was considered of no
Importance among farmers, who usually
have good cool spring water running
into or near the house. 1t is now re-
garded by the successful dairymen al
most indispensable.
The hard times for the past few years
has had very little effect upon the
average farmer of this town, if we NAV
judge from the large and commodious
barns that have been built, and the
preparations that are being made for
building in the spring. Jas. Nelson,
one-half mile north of the Corner. on
what was formerly the Gray farm, will
in the spring tear down three barns and
put up one, 43 by 100, with basement
under the whole. w. w. Wright of
Boston, put up on his farm, one half
mile south of the Corner, barn "A by
"a, with two floors and basement. John
F. Nelson also will build in the spring
magnificent horse barn.
Rev. j. B. Clapperton was absent
from town last Sabbath, assisting at
communion in North Argyle, N. Y.
His pulpit however was supplied in the
evening by Rev. j. H. Kendall of South
Ryegate.
Mrs. Wright and daughter, who some
time since were suddenly summoned to
ONO, to minister to the comforts of
sick son and brother, have returned,
looking fresh after experiencing worse
than Vermont weather-the sopbayipp
so far recovered as to be out of danger.

Mr.. Benjamin ellison, who died at
Mclndoe's last week, formerly carried
on the boot and shoe business in this
place. About the year 1850, he built
the large frame building which for 90
years stood on the corner of Main street
and Eastern avenue. In the spring of
1869 this building was moved down the
avenue, and is now occupied by F. F.
Fletcher, and the site of the ellison

HermOn Simpson, a Young man, son
of COrydon b. Simpson, came near per-
ishing with cold almost in sight of his
fathers house on Sunday evening. He
was driving in from East Burke, and il
was so extremely rough he could not
keep the road, and wandered about in
the snow for some time. His father
was expecting him, and starting out
found him about quarter of a mile
from the house so cold he could but
Just speak. He was in a critical cOndi-

well. One hand was frozen quite badly.

Rev. Mr.. Hammond and wife gave IA
reception to their friends on last Friday
evening. An invitation had been given
from the pulpit on the previous Sab
bath to the entire congregation, old
and young. About one hundred per-
sons responded. The evening was
passed most delightfully."-. The hostess
had ice cream and cake served to all
the guests. All seemed perfectly at
home in the parsonage, and were only
sorry that the hour for going home
came round so quickly. Though Mrs.
Hammond has been with lis but about
four weeks she has already won the
hearts of the people. May kindly re-
latiOns long continue.

That Temperance Teapot.


The Caledonia County Temperance
Society, as seen in convention in this
place last Tuesday, is composed mainly
of middle aged men, and a substantial
common sense class of citizens. No
candidate or representative need be
ashamed of such a constituency. They
are engaged in Il good cause which is
radically right and praisewOrthy. Most
of the questions presented for the con-
sideration of the convention were ap-
propriate and practical. The discus
siOns of the proper resolutions proposed
were pertinent and the deliberations
generally dignifed. But that tea total
temperance teapot resolution, not to
put it too mildly, was mixed muddle,
if not fulsome farce. The elliptic
enunciatOr who could evolve such a
complex cOnundrum on the convention
must be burdened with teapot on the
brain. To class drawing of Bohea
with Il dram of Bourbon, or the teapot
with pipe and pig-tail tobacco, is a
mixture beyond the comprehension of
most mortals. That's temperance off
the track-it's ethics run mad.
But why SANDER the teapot and be
silent on the coffee cup? It's ques-
ton of fine arts too hair-splitting for a
county temperance convention. For
these teapot agitatOrs to justly distin-
guish between the temperance morality
of tea aud coffee would be as difficult
as for the great medicine man of North
Danville to tell the potential difference
between a small pill and the infinitesi-
NAL point of the little end of nothing.
Shades of our grand mothers armed
with teapots, chase all such temperance
logicians TO some ancient lunatic asylum
least, annually in convention, they tor
ment. TEA-TOTALER.
