Mr.. r. d. Mcclure of East Highgate
reports making $50 pounds of sugar this

pound to tree. There has been no flow
Of sap since the 9TH instant.
Mr.. N, II. Eaton, publisher of the North
Star, at Danville, is seriously ill. He has
been cenlined to the house for several
days. His trouble appears to be a COM
pIicaton of diseases, caused by close con-
hnement and long, steady application to
business
Col G. w. Hooker of Brattleboro insists
that injustice is being done him by the
assertion that he is not an Edmunds man.
lie says he was at work laying pipes for
Edmunds long before he was publicly
thought of; that his fidelity is known and
trusted by Edmunds best friends, and that
ne shall do everything in his power, in
good faith, to compass Edmund's nominal
ton.
The trustees of Rutland have just settled
SIX cases brought in the county court
against the village by Patrick Lynch for
damages caused by the bursting of sewer

considered themselves lucky in making
his settlement as they think Mr.. Lynch

The Springfield Republican, which has
| indulged in great deal of Edmunds talk
lately, has heard from Beloit, Wisconsin,
md discovers in that quarter considerable
reference for Vermont's candidate. DR.
i. P. Strong of that place, although he
kinks Washburne more likely to get the
domination, says: Personally my choice
$ George Edmunds l knew him when
We were boys together, and he is "A steady
bile man whom all can unite on" Another
called Edmunds q" the best man for the
place, but doubted if he could be nomi
mated. One man didn't want Washburne
and Edmunds, because he didn't want a
kangaroo ticket, that is, with the strongest
man behind.
NOTABLE RECEPTIoN.-The members of
the Congregational church at Rutland
gave reception Wednesday evening, to
Mrs. Julia G. r. Dorr, which is described
as brilliant and unique affair. The ex-
ercises included some readings from Mrs.
DORIS poems by members of the church,
tableaux illustrating them, and vocal and
instrumental music. AT the close the
pastor, Rev j. G johnson, delivered a
brief and appropriate address and read the
following lines, written for the occasion
by Mrs. Dorr:
How can 1 thank you, o my friends,
For all you give to me to- night?
Your welcome with this fair scene blends
And makes it douby bright.
How can thank you? Words are weak:
They fail us in our utmost stress;
And neither joy nor Joy speak
The half they would confess
They stammer when they fain wond pour
Their souls In one clear, rapturous strain;
TheyEfater when they fain would soar;
Their very might is pain
what though know your kindly will
Adds to each thought my verse enshrines
That, when the poem mocks me still,
You read between the lines?n
Redder for You my roses burn,
And buer all my vioets blow,
Whittier each y's silver urn,
Because you paiut them So
Yon do but your fairy wands
And 10! what miracles unfold
While, Midas-like your magic hands
Turns all my lead to gold
Yet, all the more, because l know
Your partial friendship makes more bright
Each flowers pale tint, each gems faint glow,
