 A snowdrop was found in bloom in the open garden in sheltered spot, on Sunday, Feb. 2sth, in the village of Salisbury. Un- like the pansy and arbutus, which form buds in the fall and are ready to open on the first sunny day, the leaf and flower of the snow' drop are wholly growth of 1880. It had the appearance of having been in blow on Feb. 2s, or even 27, but.not expecting it month before the usual time, we have to rest content with the certain record of the 29th. A blossom in February will do for our cold climate. W. A.J.

 Perhaps as varied and select an assort- ment of jewelry as will be found in any country store is on exhibition at G. v. Cap ron's, the populaar jeweler of Falls Village. The show cases on either side are lined with the choicest of gold and silver neck wear, ear- rings, bracelets, watches, chains, pins and well, to enumerate all would be impossible. If person wants anything in the line of jew- elry, toys musical instruments or firearms, Caprons is the place to go-unless you prefer to go to the city and pay twice as much for the same article, mistaken idea of economy entertained by some people. Georges prices will suit, as well as the goods. Those con. templating the purchase of an organ should not fail to inspect his stock. He can make it an object to purchase of him.
 -One of the finest houses we have lately seen is the new residence the Hon. Frederick E. Hurlburt has been building in, Goshen. There is nothing pretentious in it's outside ap- pearance, but it's inside arrangements are very complete. The cellar is model of solid con- struction and convenient arrangement. and the kitchen and dining room, with their ap- purtenances, are planned. with care and a thorough adaptation to all the needs of household work we have seldom seen even in the fine establishments of which so many have been recently built in our own village. Pipes carry soft water, hot and col l, to tl @ various rooms of the lower story where they are needed, the wa.er being supplied from a tank in the upper part of the house. The parlors are handsomely fitted with marble mantels and hard finished walls neatly orna- mented with cornices and center pieces and g ane bay window opens to the south. A large number of sleeping rooms are arranged in the upper story of this very complete establish ment. Long, large stones are lying along the front of the lot ready for laying into walks in the Spring. Evidently Mr.. Hurlburt is plan ming a comfortable enjoyment of the later por- ton of very industrious and successful bus. mess career-such as few would have thought possible in remote, quiet, agricultural com. rnunity like that of Old Goshen.-En9U6rer !

Try it; it works like charm God made Adam out of dust,
 But thought it best to make me first,
 So was made before the man,
 To answer Gods most holy plan;
 My body He did make complete, But without legs, or arms, or feet My ways and actions He controls,
 And I was born without a soul. A living being became,
 Twas Adam gave to me my name,
 Then from his presence withdrew, , No more of Adam eyer knew; did my Makers laws obey, 7 From them I never went astray; , Thousands of miles I roamed in fear, . And seldom on the earth appear,
 But God did something in me see, And put living soul in me- A soul of me my God did claim, ]. And took from me the soul again, r And when from me that soul had fled, r was the same as when first made
 And without hands, or feet, or soul,
 travel now from pole to pole; v labor hard both day and night, !, To fallen man give great light; z Thousands of people, young and old, Will by my death great light behold. 3 No fear of death doth trouble me,
 For happiness cannot see;
 To Heaven I shall never go, l Nor to the grave, nor hell below. { Now as these lines my friends you reat
 Then search the scriptures with great hee And if my name you don't find there, It's very strange, I do declare. \ CORRESPONDENCE.
