Delivering Letters Over the Marshes of
Gascony Stills.
Down in that portion q Gascony
which the French call the Landes, the
country is chiefly composed of vast
marshes and sandy plains, on which
the only crops planted are maize and
barley, and over which the sheep and
cattle Craze. So wide are the marshes,
especially in the interior, that the pop
ular mode of locomotion is On stills.
The shepherds never use anything
else, and they stalk about the country
after. their herds like gigantic cranes,
knitting as they walk. The exigen-
cies Of the geologic formation affect
even official life, for the postmen must
also go on stills to accomplish their

why the Boys Leave the Farm.

The answer is self evident-perpet-
ual toll in good weather ali through
the busy season, and perpetual loneli-
ness in bad weather and most of the
winter season. The time when the
farmers have leisure is, in half the
country, the very time when they cam
not get away from home by reason OF
their isolation and bad roads; yet such
Is the hunger of the heart that the
boys revolt against this uncomfortable
loneliness and even now often walk
miles through the rain or the snow to
spend half day in sitting around the
stove in the country store Already,
in many sections. the young people of
both sexes have broken through the
barriers and established farmers clu bs
and little societies of one sort or an
other; and improved roads have done
much to aid this relief. But why
should not this natural tendency be
reasonably directed, and all ages and
both sexes enjoy their long winter
evenings together. w. Book

ford south line, have let the job to
build said road to George O. Lufkin,
who is q thorough-going, honorable
young man. He is the right man in
the right place. The road is built by
contribution, and the names of the con-
tributors will be published hereafter.
The land through which the road is to
pass was all contributed except one
piece. The community is surprised
that the owners of said piece should
insist on land damage, as they are men
who have been considered liberal and
enterprising. 1t is hoped they will
withdraw their claim as it is very diff.
ficult to raise sufficient sum to build
the road and the committee are still
short. The town Of Fairlee has acted
the manly part from the commence
ment of improvements about the Lake
and have done all that could reasona-
bly, be expected Of them. Bradford
has laid the road from Fairlee north
line to Arad Jenkins east line, which
let's the travel out on the river road.
Thus stunning all railroad crossings.
Fairlee and Bradford should congrat-
ulate themselves that this road is to be
built as it cannst help being great
benefit to both towns. Great credit is
due to the projectors of this enterprise
for their persevering efforts in getting
the road laid and procuring funds to
build the same.
