LASD0Ror :.
We read with great interest in the last
weeks JOURNAL Of the great anxiety OF
friend in New York state to hear the news
from this little retired town called Land
grove, which nestles quietly down among
the hills in the northeastern part OF Ben
nington county. We also read the attempt
TO convey an idea to the mind OF the new
subscriber OF what was going on in this
little town at that time. Now our CORE
spondent spoke Of the scarcity Of news
here-which is nothing strange in q dry
time and makes mention of Irritation
which is said to be going on between
certain couple in or near said town, "of
which we will make no account at present
as we are awaiting Developments. Now
We hope that our correspondent, as well as
many others who seem to be interested in
this affair, will be sbundantly blessed with
patience until this fearful crisis is over,
and the Developments of this Irritation
are complete; for We should be sorry to
know that some of our most highly es-
tened friends and neighbors had gone
away to an insane asylum in consequence
OF such a frivolous affair; but let us hope
for the best. Our correspondent never
said that the corn crop was likely to prove
failure, or that grasshoppers are plenty
in this vicinity; and said nothing about
the scarcity Of money in the town treasury
or that the postmaster has wisely conclud-
ed that one dog is better than two, espec.
ally il one has only three legs Now. Mr.
Correspondent, brace up little and COL
lect your wandering thoughts that rove
abroad and think you will not be troub-
led to find news enough in the future,
without crea aa.iing to an affair SO entire
ly out of your line Of buiness.
wINHALL.

Barnard was elected representative.
SUNDERLAND.

J. NJ. Gregory, Elon Hill, Frank Harring.
ton, J. II. Powers.
ARLINGTON.
Though defeated Mr.. Judson cannot
complain that his friends in this town did
not stand by him. I'VE probably know
him here as we'll as Rutland people do, to
say the least. G. II. Young was elected
representative.
SYNDICATE.
After long drought we have had re-
freshing showers. The water was seldom
ss low here as it is now.
Our town representative is Clark
Hamilton, whom most Of us think is very
good man for the position.
There is great deal Of complaint
from the fact that the apples arc rotting
badly and the crop must be small.
old Mr.. Mears who lives in what
is called Bear Town is very sick and
great fears are entertained that he will not
recover.
There was picnic near Reuben Bent
ley's last Wednesday. Sunderland Band
was in attendance and those present
had good time.
The Sunday school Of the NJ. T.,
church will have their annual picnic in
Turner's grove Sept. It'll. Good music will
be in attendant and o fine time is expect.
cd.
There have been more sheep sold out
Of town for the last two weeks TO parties
in Union Village and elsewhere than have
been sold in long time and at good prices.
In fact il would not seem possible that at
the present price Of wool sheep would
command so high price. There are some
good focks Of sheep in town. Men like
Clark Hamilton, o. J. Hard aud Parker
Hoyt hive good focks and claim they
know good sheep when they.s see them. In
fact this town is more adapted to sheep rails.
ing than dairy, there are good farms with
Us where sheep have been kept every year
for very long time and they have proven
remunerative to the owners.
