We are informed upon good author
ity that Messrs. Stanley q Van Brunt
have hit upon a plan to dispose of the
bad odor arising from their fertilizer

ment has been tried they will shut
down the factory.

The beautiful pictures produced a
few days ago by the pure white snow
which outlined even the finest twigs
and rendered huge limbs marvels of
elegance, will be still more highly APP
preciated now that somebody has
raked up an old saying to the effect
that "When a March snow clings to
the trees the crop of fruit will be
large"
March went out Monday, and we
are glad of it. 1t might have gone
sooner for all that we cared. 1t was
measly month, anyhow, full of wind
and fury, disaster and ruin. March
is great blower, and much given to
deception. We go to bed at night
with a starry promise of fine morning.
What do we find upon arising? Six in
ches of snow upon the walk-and all
to be shoveled off before breakfast.

How surprisingly ignorant we are all
apt to be in regard to those things
with which we are most familiar
Take the date of Easter Sunday for in
stance. This year it comes on the 9th
Of April-last year it came on the 21st.
OF course you know what makes this
variation and how the date of Easter
is fixed, but ask some of your friends
about it, and you will find that nine
out of ten haven't the least idea on the
subject And yet this is something we
all ought to know.
