II there is one characteristic more uni
versally apparent than an other among the
New England people. It's self-dependenet
in everything. II is, to Southerner, more
observable in the women, because less ex.
pectsd there, but the woman who does moi
display this characteristic is the exception
in her neighborhood. II may be said with
entire accuracy that il any person in that
country wishes anything done that person
does it, unless it requires more than one.
and the rule holds good with all ages,
classes and sexes.
Whenever "help" is employed it is need
ed. There are no supernnmersries, and
there is absolutely no waste One family
in the South, Of given condition as to
means, will waste more than ten families
Of like condition in Vermont OF course
there are exceptions to these general state
ments, but they are not numerous. The
absence Of male walters at the hotels and
eating houses in Vermont is one OF the
things that first strike stranger Unless,
perhaps, we except an occasional superin-
tendent ofa dining room, it is question:
ableif there is male hotel waiter in the
State, and, what still more forceably strikes
Southerner is the fact that, in many in
stances the handsome young lady who
waits on him is graduate and very posi-.
bly, the daughter Of some prominent citi-
zen Of 'the village" as most OF the towns
are called, which accounts for the slender
appetite Of the young men from the South
upon their first arrival in the Green
Moudtains, and it's phenomenal develop
mcnt, as illustrated by their prolonged
stay at table ever afterward. Cleanliness
in household matters is sort OF religion
with them and ifa man should confne him
self strickly to the food served at his own
home, he would have to live very lsng
time before he could eat the traditional
peck Of dirt. - Vermont letter Of ex. Con-
gresham A. N. Waddell ofNorth Caro-

tbs lively burg, and among our
other numerous acQualntanceS met
Mr. 4. 7. Dearborn. the machine man
who was pushing business along with
his usual vim. After few minutes
stay in town. two hours drive
brought US TO the Durham farm at

where We had the good fortune to
meet Sheriff Meadows, Dr.. Summers,
and Messrs. {. &. Church, Geo. w.

party around the dinner table and
their appetites sharpened by the de-
llgAtfuI ride across the pralries 1t Is
unnecessary TO say that full justice
was done to the festive board OF cur
friend Durham, and tho feast OF
reason and flow OF soul was slnp-
Ily astonishing. But the picnic could

was finished and destination reached

our ranlllinss around the town We
found the place full Of people from

county being well represented. The
land office is constantly crowded from
morning till night, and Mr. A. c. Mel
lette, the gentlemanly Register, and
Gen. poasc, the new Receiver find a
constant stream of business on their
hands. The business like manner II
which the Office is conducted alone
saves it from being overwhelmed
with the rush OF work that is stead

While in town We had the pleasure
Of meeting Mr. r. G. Bohrl, an old
