According to the weather proverbs for
November,w we shall be favored with long
cold clustering winter, with deep snow
on the ground until late in the spring;
and TO make the prospect still more pleas
ing, the price OF coal, it is said, is likely to
advance Nov. DIST and 18th are weather
breeders, the former determining the char
acter of the winter, and the latter that of
the month OF February. March, the
prophets affirm, is always like November,
and much fog in autumn is the forernnner
of much snoR in winter. Finally the AMI
mails are DOMINIC their thickest furs and,
II a doubt still remains on the subject, the
goose bone is almost all white.
Hon. V. l. Spear, statistical secretary OF
the Board of Agriculture, has been gath
ering information with regard to the
amount OF money brought into Vermont
by its summer visitors, and though his
report is not by any means complete, he
has found that the number OF summer
guests in 227 towns of the State WAS not
far from 81 ,236, and the sum paid by them
for board, rooms and livery was about
1898, 905. In one favorite summer resort.
the town of Randolph, the visitors lett
over 50, 500 with their various landlords,
and this does not include the golden har-
vest reaped by several private families
who open their homes to the jaded city
people seeking rest and refreshment midst
the green hills of Vermont.
Hon. Joel c. Baker OF Rutland, writing
to the Saturday Budget of Troy, n. V, in
regard to the retirement of Senator Nor
rill from public duty at the close of his
present term. recommends Hon. II. II.
Wheeler OF Brattleboro as worthy sue
cessor of Vermont's "grandsold man." In
the event of Judge Wheeler's not wishing
to assume the legislative functions, Mr..
Baker suggests that Hon. John w. Rowell
OF West Randolph would worthily repre-
sent the Green Mountain State in the sem
ate chamber. Judge Rowell is an able law
yer, an eloquent speaker and a man OF
keen intellect, and should he happily sue
coed the venerable Senator Morrill,, the
reputation which Vermont statesmen
have won at the nations capitol would
be well sustained.

Gent landlord for nearly year. During

Sept. Attn, 1862, and was honorably dis
charged Sept. 10th, 1868. AT Gettysburgh,
worm out ana completely exhausted by
tedious marches, he took part in that ia
nous battle, but the strain proved too
much for the strength OF a BOY of his
years, and trouble with his heart very
soon after became apparent, gradually in
,reasing in violence until ii terminated in
bis death. The funeral service, which was
largely attended by his comrades OF q. S.
5rant Post, G. A. R., the ladies of the Re-
let Corps and the business men of the
