One of the most successful farmers in
this vicinity stated to a representative of
this paper that, with the exception of nay,
which was about two-thirds Ola crop, farm
ers had not tor years been favored with
more abundant crops in Chittenden coun-
ty than during the present season. He had
talked with men from nearly every town
in the county and the testimony of all of
them warranted the above statement.
Oats are unusually heavy and we'll filled
and buckWhcat has also yielded well.
Corn is well mp TO the average and pOta-
toes have never been Il larger crop, al
thoTgh they are not Il profitable crop tins
year owing to the rot This is not gen
eral throughout the county, however
some farmers complain of having lost
half Of their crop while others did not find
half Il bushels of rotten potatoes in their
entire fields. This is the off year for APP
piles, but the best bearing orchards have
yielded twO-thlrds of II crop. Dairy prod
ucts have been low most of the season,
but they are doing well this fall. On the
whole farmers have had favorable year
as regards crops and also prices, the
cost of groceries and other necessarieS be

duced to go across the lake by Officer

August !. They both became in
toXcated and the next thing he
knew he woke up in a blueberry field

passed through DannemOra. They camped
near Chazy Lake Sunday night. Palmer

The mere rumor of such an organization has
closed every gambling room, the young men
and business men who engage in such amuse-
ments are known, and their qualification of this
morbid appetite is attended with great dis
couragement. A happy conjunction of an
unimportant town election and circus day
enabled the league to test its strength, and
for one day, at least, the law was on the side
of temperance. Back doors and front doors
were guarded, and such a temperate circus
day has seldom been seen. Enforcement
of law, rather than a crusade, is the OBJ
ject Of these quiet citizens, and the organ

can hardly help succeeding. The methods of

The office was not closed one minute earlier

DURING the cholera visitation in 1854 there
were 20, PAT deaths from it in New York City,
which at that time had population of 627,-
600. AT the same ratio there would be not
less than 10000 deaths in New York and

strengthened in that year by frequent rains and
