Winter stiII cIings in Vermont.

DR.. Day in the Troy Times says:
''There are few signs of spring. Not a
fiery, rel breasted robin has been seen
on Bonded twig, not sugar maple has
been tapped, not blade of grass has
started into life in sunny places, and
even the early water plants have scarce
ly begun to show themselves above the
yellow sands of the brooks. All the
fields and hills within the whole ring of
the horizon are either dappled or
blanched with snow. Frozen are most
of the streams and pools and limpid
springs. The small boy, however, looks
with shining eyes upon the brightly col
ored marbles, but Impotence is written
on his face when. he sees the sidewalks
alternate between mud or snow or frost.
The sportsman is out daily after the par
fridge, the rabbit or the fox. The
tracks in the snow on the great west
slope of Bald Mountain, where these an
finals have been run by dogs, are sight
to behold. Stars in clear, dark sky are

verge or cross one anOther-now zgzag-
ing, now running in right lines or sweep
ing in curves and circles over the snow
in those barren, desolate wastes. The
Cry of dogs in full pursuit, the sharp,
whip-like 'spang' of rifles, and the
glimpse of a fox stretching at full gallop
over the swells of the mountain, are
sights and sounds as common now as
they were two or three months ago.
Monday afternoon large flock of wild
geese, estimated to be 200 or 300 in num-
Der, passed over Bennington, going
northward, the loud cries of the birds
attracting much attention. The birds
formed in V-sha Led order and cut a
sharp figure on the sky. The sun was
about ten degrees above the horizon at
the time of their passage, and bright
points of flame seemed to issue from the
flock. 1t was the flashing of wing tips
in the sunbeams, as they rose and fell to
the measured strokes of the birds. The
migration of the geese to the north is re-
garded by some as pretty certain indi-
cation that spring is near at hand"

Condensed Report of Proceedings of the
Fifty Fourth Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-The house passed a
bill authorizing the president to appoint a
commission to investigate the Venezuelan
boundary. and appropriating 100000 for the
expenses OF the commission. The senate
shared the general sentiment of belligerency
prevalent, and from the outset of the session
the measures proposed breathed spirit of pa
triotism and of preparation for any emer-
gency that might arise concerning Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-The excitement over
Venezuelan matters subsidized greatly, the re-
suit being attributable very largely to the
facts that the house was not In session, and
that the senate was disposed to avoid pre-
cipitate action, as was evidenced by the course
when the house Venezuelan commission bill
was received.
WASHINGTON Dec 21.-The senate by unani-
nous vote and without tie formality of roll
call, passed the bill already adopted by the
house Of representatives, empowering the
president to appoint commission to deter
mine the Venezuelan-B British Guiana boun-
Diary. Nothing was done in the house.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - The house re-
sponded to the presidents message by pigeon
holing the resolution for holiday recess and
preparing to go to work to provide some
means for the relief of the treasury. There
was no difference of opinion, on the surface at
least, that congress should remain at its post
The speaker announced the committees, and
the decks were cleared for business
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Four hours were oc
cupied by the Republican members of the
ways and means committee in preparing q
measure of relief for the treasury department.
There was a satisfactory unanimty of opinion
among the members relative to the course to
be pursued in order to meet the deficit in this

Cannot Attain Required Speed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The president
has decided that the government cannot
accept the ram Kathadin, because of her
failure to attain the II knots speed re-
quired by the contract. Senator Hale has
accordingly introduced bill in the senate
authorizing the acceptance of the vessel.
Naval authorities are of the opinion that
she is an efficient warship, and is prevented
from attaining the prescribed speed only
by peculiarities of her model for which
the builders, the Bath (Me.) iron works
are not properly responsible.
