WOODBURY,

April is here, with songs of birds, but a strange mingling of mud and snow, March winds and April showers, and degree of cold that makes one shrink from the outdoor air
 Though frozen on the surface much of the time, the ground is nearly settled, and the roads have solid bottom. Farmers who would, cannot SOW or plant, and only few oats have been put in the ground.
 Much moving, and consequent changing of homes, almost make directory needed to find acquaintances, if one is not in contact with village gossip.
 The Union musical concert at the First church here on Tuesday evening, April 18th, by the choir of that church, and one from Washington, under the direction of Mr. Buck ingham, was attended by large and appre- ciative audience Perhaps it is enough to say that it was artistic and a success, those choirs fully sustaining their high reputation The clear enunciation added much to the enioy- ment of the listeners, and was superior to most of like occasions. ....... .+
 The Methodist church is favored very highly in the return of Rev. Mr. Hubbell to its pastorate after an interval of more than twenty-five years, and he will be cordially welcomed by other denominations to his former field of labor. Rev. Mir. Brown goes to Bethel
 Union Fast day services were held at the North church, preaching by the pastor.
 There were tasteful and beautiful floral offerings on Easter Sunday in the different churches.
 The Parker academy and some of the pub lie schools have commenced the spring term under favorable auspices. r .-v~ Y.
