May Day morning some of our hills were
covered with light mantle of snow, which
will make the morning memorable one on
that account. Another thing which will rem
der the day a memorable one to those who
were present on the occasion was the enjoya-
BILE wedding which took place at the commo-
dious and pleasant home of Mr.. Sidney Ad-
ans. The marriage was that of Mr. J. W.
JefIords of Hinsdale, n. H., with Mr.. Ad-
ams's daughter Helen. The goodly number
of relatives and friends present were cordial
ly welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs Adams and in
due time the bride and groom made their ap-
pearapce in the parlor, escorted by broth
err of the groom and a sister of the bride who
acted as groomsman and bridesmaid.
The bride and groom took the place pre-
pared for them In front of an evergreen bow
err, interaid with mayAowers, which covered
the organ and with thrilling interest listened
to the words spoken to them by Rev II. v.
Baker, who in view of the promises of mutu-
al affection and fidelity made by the parties,
soon pronounced them husband and wife,
Friendly greetings followed and music emil
vened the occasion, Wedding cards were
distributed to the guests by the bride Some
useful and ornamental presents were given TO
the happy pair. A bountiful wedding dinner
was served and a mammoth wedding cake
graced the table Soon after dinner the bride
and groom took their departure for Battle-
boro, where they were 10 take the cars on
their wedding tour via Greenfield to Boston,

Report Of the Quarterly Meeting held
at BrattIebOrO, Thursday, GOSH uIG.
Windham County Pomona Grange met in
grange hail. Brattleboro, on the Goth of
April, and was called to order by Worthy
Master &. w. Houghton of Townshend. A
committee of one was chosen from each
grange in the county to make report from
their respective oranges, rs to their manner
of conducting meetings, etc. In the after
noon W. b. Cutting Of Westminster read a
paper in which he gave a description of the
way the Westminster grange is managed, to-
gether with an account of the manner of
holding meetings For the past winter they
have had two meetings each month, one of
which was open for the families and friends,
and the other for business At the open
meetings they have had literary exercises of
interest to the children rs well as the parents,
and in that way they have got the children
interes ted, so that they are sure to remember
when the me etings are to be held and are
anxious TO attend In that way IA much lar
ger attendance is sec ured than would other
wise be the case. Through the summer sea-
son, for the reason that great part of the
members live at distance from the place of
meeting, and as it is very easy for some to
stay at home after doing hard days work
on the farm, they propose TO hold their meet
ings at'the houses of the members in the af-
ternoou, each carrying his basket of provis-
ions and enjoying social visit (Which, by

should wake up and look into these matters
that are of such vital importance to us. We
have sent too many lawyers to the legislature
already. At the present day we have far
merS that are educated and capable to make
laws Why not give them a chance? The
farmers in most Of the towns are a large ma
jority of the voters and if they will take the
matter in hand, can manage it for their own
interest. The grange is great power for ed
ucating the farmer for this, and we trust that
it will keep on with the good work so well
begun. Next fall we hope to see more far
mers in the legislature of Vermont than were
ever seen there before. Let us, as farmers,
unite and send such men as will legislate for
the interest of the farming community c.

The Western papers which make spec

ing full reports from all sections of the wheat
and corn growing country. Recent rains in
Kansas have changed the situation there so
that full crop is anticipated at the present
time. The reports from Indiana and Ohio
indicate more than an average yield. with
greater acreage. The reports from Illinois
and Wisconsin are better now than few
weeks since, so that an average crop is antic-
ipated. In Iowa and Nebraska the wheat re-
ports are not favorable. Minnesota expects
n better crop than in 1879 On the whole
reports lead to the conclusion that if the pres
ent conditions continue the country will be
favored with another bountiful hrrvest. Eu-

crop may be expected there than has been
harvested the past two years On the whole

SCENE OF EXCITEMENT.
1t is the custom of the Germans in some
parts of this country on the Sunday morning
following the first of May, to observe the GER
emory which they call "foralia" They go
upon some high hill before daybreak and
around huge fires sing German choruses I'M
til the sun rises. when they greet the orb Of
day with a gorious anthem. The rest of the
day is spent in various festivities In Pater-
son, n. j., last Sunday not less than 500
persons assembled mountain near the
city and began enjoying the holiday, when
some of them invaded the premises of one
William Dalzell, who, gun in hand, ordered
them off or he would shoot into the crowd.
His threats were received with ieers and
laughter, but he was as good rs his word and
fired into them, killing one man and wound
ing several others. This converted the peace
full and jolly party into an Infatuated mob,
and they rushed at Dalzell amid cries of
Lynch him He took refuge in barn on
his premises and with his gun kept the mob
at bay. Finally, the barn was set on fire and
he was smoked out. He ran to a neighbor-
ing house and again stood at bay The

him and he again fired. and the mob again
fell back. Meanwhile the police had arrived
and tried to protect him and get him away,
but they continued to pelt him and the Off
GERS. Word was sent for detachment of
police and militia. Six hours had now passed,
and all the police and special constables could
do was to keep the crowd at bay. Finally,
Father McNulty, the Catholic priest was sent
for. He, getting upon Il hack, addressed the
crowd While their attention was thus en-
crossed, the sheriff hustled Dalzell into
hack and drove rapidly of. This ruse seem
ed likely to succeed, but was discovered Dial
cell was then quickly put into another hack,
and the first drove rapidly on pursued by the

of the mob, who searched the town over for

Another year; another year:
And still we md our mother here
As in her face we look We say
1t seemeth only yesterday
We met on her &c teHuial day
We know that II is good to come
Once more into this quiet home.
Where, by no toll or care oIprest,
Our mother takes her peaceful rest,
As one whom Natures God hath blest.
We mark the tender, patient care
That all about her, everywhere,
Tells Of the love that makes the way
Easy and pleasant day by day;
Aud for a rich reward We pray.
We 20 away, aud feel 4 fear
We may not meet another year
In the far west, the sinking sun
Tells Of a day, somewhere, begun:
All mes are Gods-His will be done.
