Miss Myra f. daughter of our old

open to certain five best students in

Rev. Carey Watson, now of Green
field, Mass. who is visiting here,
spoke again in the Congregational
church last Sunday evening. 1t is
source of great satisfaction to hear
of the good work this clergyman is
doing in his pastorate at Greenfield.

1t is Hoped that John A. Perry has

We we're recently interested in hear
ing of the Belgian hares, that are be-
ing raised on Charles A. Briggs farm.
For some reason, the mothers of the
young hares have killed quite a good
many, when only day old, but Mr..
Briggs has perhaps found this reason,
now, and thus hopes to remedy the
trouble. The meat of these hares is
very palatable, and by far the larger
part of it white, and like the breast of
a oh or 70 nd
require being penned, but in quite a
large way.
a stranger to us, who was lately
buying ingredients for Il liniment at
Fred A. Ainsworth's drug store, told
us that a pint of sweet oil and as
much or more of kerosene oil, with
four ounces of camphor gum, made
most excellent liniment for horses.
1t was a good appetizer" that our
worthy landlady gave us, just before
we sat down to our last Sunday after
noon dinner. She had received re-
port of the Sunday morning sermon
by Rev. F. Poole, pastor of the Con
who heard it. 1t was ste nperance
sermon'- to say-but we will not
attempt to report the enthusiastic
praise given it by this nearer. Suffice
it here and now too say that the
preacher-while not wholly satisfied
with our present State prohibitory law
felt that it would be going rom the
frying pan to the fire, to adopt the
local-option, high license law before
our people now. So he would counsel
the vote of mo" next week Tues
day. Another appetizer was the like
position lately taken in an open letter
by Rev. Thomas Mitchell. pastor of
the Presbyterian church of Barre. We
want these two pastors to know that
their influence is felt beyond the
limits of their own city, and that
their words are watched by we know
not how many, in towns about here.
We have been told that Vermonter
of our acquaintance has said that he
should vote yes next Tuesday, if
he had no boys i'll his family. Let us
all vote mo, - not only to help save
his own boys-but the thousands of
other boys-and thro ugh them, the
happiness of ali equal number of girls,
and who shall say how many thous-
ands more of children yet unborn, in
our beloved State
