We took little trip through Gale
donia, Lamoille, Franklin and Chit
tenden counties last week and found
the grass crop backward and light in
all sections. Haying on the Cham
plain side of the state only just be-
gun. There is very large acreage
of potatoes and they are looking very
finely everywhere. Corn is small
but the color is good, and it only
needs time to insure good crop.
| Grain is too backward to make an
estimate upon. Good as some other
portions of the state are, we never
return to Orleans county without re-
alizing that in soil, products, charac-
ter of farm buildings, neatness in
appearances of the villages and in the
general signs of thrift and prosperity,
we are not excelled in Vermont
Along the richest intervals on the
Lamoille, the Winooski and Missis-
quot the farm buildings are not nearly
as good as can be found on the rivers
in this county, and in the seemingly
wealthy sections along Lake Cham
plain the buildings, fences, etc.,
would be disgrace to some of the
hill sections of Orleans. 1t is both
pleasurable and a matter of pride
with US that we can make these state
ments.

is believed that entire satisfaction
has been given, with both the schol-

made a good many friends in the dis

chase of the >saw-mill here has already
been noticed, have bought another
timber lot and will probably enter
largely into the lumber business this
winter. Such an enterprise helps
many to employment, and gives
little more ''stir'' to the place.

Esq, and wife from Jersey CITY.
