The storm has subsidized and we are
experiencing beautiful and spring. like
weather.
A flock of wild geese passed north a
few nights since. According to the
old saying we may expect spring

accident by his horse falling and frac-
turing one of the bones of his right leg,
below the knee. The bone was set 10y
his father and some of the hired men
and is doing well. We hope he may
soon recover from his injury. He is
one of our most energetic young men
and will be much missed during his
confinement.
Everything is quiet in this neighbor
hood. The pipe of peace has been
smoked by all the tribes; the tomahawk
lies buried; the war dance has subsided;
the camp-hies have disappeared from
the hillsides.
Some of the young ladies Of this vi
cinity are taking the benefit of leap
year. Hiding behind the person of st.
Valentine they send folt til their effu-
sions of love to the young men and
bachelors. We are of the opinion that
the young men are to be sought and
won by the fair damsels during the
present year and the young gentlemen
should not encroach upon their privi-
leges, and would advise the fair maid
ems to make hay while the sun shines.
Madam rumor has it that there is to
be wedding or two in this neck of
woods soon. From the regular visits q
certain young man of this neighbor-
hood makes to Roberts creek church,
we can safely say there will be one
more to add to the list.
The deputy tax collector called on
the delinquents of this precinct last
week and reminded them of what was
due the State and county. He carried
away some of the surplus coin and the
sweet smiles he smole at some of the
fair maidens would lead me TO conclude
he has prActised this art to perfection
| We feel sure he will return again to
this vicinity. Two of the delinquents
consider themselves sighted and feel
much aggrieved that the deputy did not
call on them.
a new school district was organized
here recently-No 6S-and every ythina
arranged for a school in the spring
with the exception of teacher. A
good pedagogue that can teach the
young idea how to shoot, can find EN-
ployment for three months, at goot
wages.

says, regarding this growth of the order
For the last six years the order has in
creased with great rap dity in this country
until now it numbers over 250.000 mem
bers. The boom did not strike Yer
mont until about two years ago. and from
1893 February 8, 1882. the order now
numbers 3067-an increase of 200 per cent.
From 81 posts we now number 20, with a
probability of IA few more before the close
OF the year. The increase is by no means
at an end, and | believe we will number
5000 members in Vermont before deca-
dence begins"
