March went ont and April came with
a blizzard. The temperature Is unusu

winds. Some days the thermometer
has been below the freezing point al

TO IA degrees above zero at sunrise
Except in sheltered situations, but little
impression has been made on the snow

IN many places is higher than the
fences, packed and frozen hard: so
they have been left waiting for a thaw.
Farmers are trife blue. Winter
set in earlier than usual. The last plow-
ling was on the 18th of November.
Taken as a whole, much less than the
usual amount is done. With present
prospects, three weeks is as soon as
farm work can be resumed, and this
with seasonable weather. Hay is get
ting scarce with some farmers. Feed
is sufficient as yetsfor stock. Sheep in
most cases are not wintering az we'll as
usual.
Among the changes usual at this
time Of the year, Myron Bowker re-
turns to his farm; H. Dorcy, who occu-
pied it, goes to the Stanbridge farm;
one of the Biex boys to the J. r. Bish-
op farm. and Parker to the Deacon
Spence farm.
Hired help is somewhat scarce;
higher wages are also paid; twenty to
twenty-five dollars per month for the
season.

situation on the st. Paul r. r., has left

IT'S NOT NY BUSINESS.

Il wealthy man in st. Louis was
asked to aid in a series Of temperance
meetings. but he scornfully refused.
After being further pressed he said :
Gentlemen, It's not my businessP'
|. A few days after his wife and two
daughters were coming home on the
lightning express. In his grand car
riage, with liyeried attendants, he rode
to the depot, thinking Of his splendid
business and planning for the morrow.
HarkI did some enc say accident ?"
There are twenty-five railroads center
ing in st. Louis; if there has been an
accident it is not likely it happened on
the and Mississippi railroad.
Yet it troubles him; It's his business
now. The horses are stopped on the
instant, and upon inquiry he finds it
has occurred twenty-five miles distant
on the -- and Mississippi. He tele-
graphs to the superintendent: 81 will
give you five hundred dollars for an
extra engine"
The answer flashed back, Nor
81 will give you one thousand dol
lars for an engine"
"A tram with surgeons and nurses
has already gone forward; we have no
other"
With white face and anxious brow
that man paced the station to and fro !;
It's has business 1loa0. In half hour,
perhaps, which seemed to him a CEN
fury, the train arrived. He hurried
towards it, and in the tender found the
mangled and lifeless forms of his wife
and one of his daughters. In the car
following lay his other daughter, with
her dainty ribs crushed in and her
precious life oozing slowly away.
A quart of whisky, which was drunk
fifty miles away by railroad employe,
was the cause Of the catastrophe.
Who dare say of this tremendous
question. "'Tis not my business p

ED. TELEGRAPH:-I was somewhat
surprised at the report of my speech at

can only account for the gross mis-
representation by knowing that the

humanity, and, therefore, necessary.

gentleman from Kenosha told me that

thought the old court house was good
enough for lawyers to shoot off their
mouths in" No such expression, nor
anything that could be tortured into it,
ever passed my lips.

In New Jersey q local option law has
been defeated. Kansas has enacted the

mental purposes, North Carolina has
enacted a stringent prohibitory law,
which will be submitted to q popular
vote on the first Tuesday Of August. |
It prohibits the manufacture, sale, or
importation of liquors. It's object is |
believed to be more to rid the state of !
inspectors Of Revenue than Of drink |
ing. South Carolina prohibits the sale
Of liquors except in municipal corpora

In Texas and West Virginia prohibit |

have been rejected. Ohio is struggling |
with the liquor question, but has not |
yet taken action. Wisconsin alone has !
an anti-treating law, but it is now said
