The ladies were there to grace the occasion; the deacon and the parson were there to add digni- ty; the small boy to add noise; the smart young man was there who would climb up on the timbers and getting a good hold of a post would hold on like grim death to an African and try to look unconcerned while he was inwardly fear ing he would fall and break his neck. The old men were there, and seated un- der shady tree would relate wondrous tales of when old Uncle Somebody rais- ed barn 90 or 60 years ago they stood | on their head on the ridge-pole, always adding with sigh 'but we can't do 1t now" After the "bents" were up a ssumptuous repast' i've think that's the proper word) was served and if any, one went hungry it was their own fault, as there was an abundance of everything good to eat.

Arbor nay rroslamntion.
THE pEopLR or VFRN0Nr:

To THE PEoPLE OF VERMONT:
The custom Of designating an an-
nual Arbor Day has already become
honored by time, and the welcome rec
ognition and Observance Of it by the
citizens in several of the common
wealths Of our Union.
1t has extended from year to year,
and now prevails in many States and
will, it is believed, embrace our whole
country in the near future.
No measure can be devised which
will contribute more to the value, at
tractiveness and beauty of our Yer
mont towns, villages and homes, than
the iudicious improvement of the eco
nomic adornments of nature, which
may be so readily utilized by all.
The so general and earnest response
to the executive recommendation OF
last year by the people of the State,
demands that day be again desig-
nigated for united progression in the
work then so Systematically organized
and prosecuted throughout the towns
and villages.
| Therefore, in obedience to the popu-
lar will, and in the hope that the prac-
tiee may become general with Yer
monters, as il has with the people of
other progressive States, do hereby
designate and set apart
SATURDAY, THE gath DAY OF APRIL,
instant, to be observed as Arbor Day
in Vermont. And | recommend that
the people prepare for its observance
by an interchange of views, and by
further organization, discussion and
distribution of information on the sub.
ject, that the laboTs of the day may I've
directed towards intelligent and EN-
during results.
And | invite all societies, associa
tons, army posts, schools and individ
uals to devote the day to the planting
of trees, shrubbery, and the vine, fol-
ornament, comfort and use in the
parks and commons, as we'll as by the
private home, around the public
buildings and society halls; on the
school grounds, by the church, around
the cemetery, and along the roadsides
and the village streets.
Given under my hand and the State
Seal at Hartford, this sixth day O
April, in the year Of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty
six.

This house has been run in such way
that great many of its guests have
been surprised in an agreeable mann
ner. While the house does not afford
quite as many attractions as the Seui-
mole, at Winter Park, Yet the table
and beds--two of the most important
features in q good hotel-were, in ev-
cry respect, as good as those at the
Winter Park hotel. W. A. Richard
son, the manager has proven himself
to be Il first class hotel man in every
respect, and, notwithstanding the dit

tend, has succeeded IN making repu

prosperity of its future seasons. III
| parting with him for the Summer, we
do so with much reluctance, and hops
! that by the time the frosts of another
winter drive the birds of passage Flor
idaward, his smiling face will be here
