VERMONT is looked upon by farmers of
other States, especially those of the fer
tile West, as cold, mountainous, hard
and barren, but it is doubtful if any State
of the Uuion can show better condition
of the farming population. Vermont's
better days are close at hand. Her val
leys and streams are attracting her
proper share of the great manufacturing
Industries of New England, and the
healthfulness of her mountain air and
the grandeur and beauty of her scenery
are sprinkling her over with flourishing
summer resorts.-Troy Times,
THE maple sugar labratory at Mont
pelier closed for the season on Tuesday
of last week. There have been weighed
for inspection A, 759, 1852 pounds, of which
| IS ,002 pounds have tested 80 degrees
and over, 4,043, $50 have tested between
50 and 80 degrees, and 63O,SSO pounds
less than so degrees. The amount OF
bounty will, therefore, be in the vicinity
of $72, 800. This covers the product OF
all the New England states, that for Yer
mont not having been separated as yet.
The Vermont bounty will, however, be
close to $4,000. All persons who desire
to apply for bounty next year must make
application before July l, to the collec-
tor of internal revenue at Montpelier.
THE Rutland correspondent of the
Poultney Journal, whilOm writer to
the BANNER, says of the recent Kirmess
held in the Marble city: "The per-
formances drew large audiences. The
Odd Fellows committee, which had the
financial management, report the re-
ceipt 81, 900 and the expense $500, leav-
ing 81 500 profit. But the profit now APP
pears probable to reach $4,000. Capt. G.
w. Eddy the director, takes 40 per cent,
the Odd Fellows and hospital get 30 per
cent each. This wonld give the hospi
tai fund $780, Killington lodge 5000 and
$500 goes to Capt. Eddy. Great credit
is due to DIR. W. Fl. Spencer, formerly OF
Poultney. for its success. He has labored
night and day in its behalf.
