Last Years Evening Dress Suwits VIII
Serve for the Coming Season.
Society men who contemplate wear
ing last seasons clothes this autumn
will be pleased TO learn that no radical
changes are looked for in mems fash
ions at present.
The threatened invasion of evening
dress for men made up of goods of the
colors of the plum. crushed strawber-
ries, and old gold. and with breaches,
which had its origin in Chicago
brain. has met with no success. Slen-
der men. who were afraid that knick-
erbockers might come in vogue, need
not be alarmed.
To a reporter for the New York
Times who called to find out what are
10 be the fashion" '"'' mon 49, +he ""'''-
ing season, a well known Fifth avenue
tailor said.
We'll, TO begin with, the frock coat
will be just as fashionable as ii was
last year 1t will be much the same in
cut, but not quite so long. Waistcoats
will be either single or double breasted.
The particularly up-to-date young
waistcoats. Stout men of course, will
prefer the single breasted style. The
we'll dressed man will avoid fancy
wais;coats. Trousers will be of mo-
dest tone. In fact the whole tendency
of the mems clothes for the coming sea-
son inclines toward quiet and sedate
patterns, the darker colors. black. deep
browns, and grays predominating
Checks, stripes, and plaids of modest
design, will however. be worn
THE Chesterfield coat will again be
popular The textures used will be
cheviOts, worsterds and vicunas in
browns and mixtures. 1t will be rath-
er loose fitting. The collar will be
somewhat longer than it was last sea-
son. the roll ranging from six to seven
inches. The pockets will have large
flaps
The only change in evening dress
will be in the coat, which will be just a
little shorter than it was last season
The favorite materials will be broad
cloth, undressed twill and corkscrew
worsseds There will be scarcely any
spring to the trousers. The Inverness
coat will remain popular as an adjunct
to the evening dress.
The cutaway coat will be four but
toned and rather long. though in this
respect not reaching the extreme
lengt In vogue last season.
The box coat will hold it's own for
men of quiet tastes. The lapels will
be peaked this year The shoulders
VIII be moderately wide with liUle or
no padding
The surtout will hold its own with
tall and slender men. 1t will Be made
chiefly of smooth faced fabrics
For young men the covert coat will
be fashionable. It will be just long
enough TO cover a sack cOaA The col
lar will have a long roll.
I'VE are relying less AID less every
year upon the English for our fashions,
and the day may not be far distant
when they will look to us to set the
styles"

AN OLD-TlMe SUGAR CROP.

The REGISTER of May ;. 1857. contains
this item from the BrattebOro Phoenix !:
&" he quantity of maple sugar made in
this State the present season is unpre-
cedented. In several of our exchanges
we have met with items which we subjoin.
In one district in Berlin, $1,000 pounds of
sugar have been made from l3 orchards,
mbracing 5000 trees. Capt. Carey of
Woodstock gathered 9S barrels of sap
from 300 trees in one week. Messrs

between 400 and 800 pounds from 10

ing the season $50 pounds of sugar from
200 trees. He made Go pounds from 30
pals of sap Martin Griffin of Newport
made 700 pounds from $50 trees. The
Orleans Standard thinks that 10000

"It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" is an old maxim that may hold
true in the present instance. If the
western supply is short, the demand
will increase for home stock. Cattle
have been selling low in Vermont for
several years. An advance in the price
of beef and a corresponding advance
in the price of cattle is sure to follow.
Farmers who have surplus stock on hand
may dispose OF it to advantage. If the

cient quantities to keep the price of meat
at reasonable rates to consumers, a
profitable business may hereafter be

Several esteemed State contemporaries

a reformation of the basis of representa-

The notion of some of the brethren is
that the small towns have more power
than they ought to possess. But as the
small towns are in the majority and each
has a vote, we fail to see what can be
done about it, even were it clearly de-
sirable to do anything.
