Wool-growing became the leading in-
dnatrj of the Green Mountain State.
Aln|oet ererj Vermont farmer wae a
•hepherd, and had hie half hundred or
hnndrecb or thousand! of grade sheep
or full bloods dotting the ferny pastures
of the hill country or the broad levels of
the Champlain valley, rank with English
grasses. From old Fort Dummer to the
Canada line one could hardly get^beyond
the sound of the sheep's bleat unless he
took to the great woods, and even there
he was likely enough to hear the inter
mittent jingle of a sheep bell chiming
with the songs of the hermit and wood
thrushes, or to meet a flock driven clat
tering over the pebbles of a. mountain
road; for a mid-wood settler had his lit
tle herd of sheep, to which he gave in
summer the freedom of the woods, and
which took—alas for the owner’s crops—
the freedom of the meadow and grain
patches, and were sheltered from the
chill of winter nights in a frame barn
bigger than their master’s log-house.
In June, when the May-yeaned lambs
were skipping in the sunshine that had
warmed the pools and streams till the
bull-frogs had their voices in tune, the
sheep were gathered from the pastures
and driven over the dusty roads to the*
pens beside the pools on the tapped
mill-flumes and washed amid a pother of
of rushing waters, shouts of laughter of
ol men and boys, and discordant, plain
tiff bleats of parted ewes and lambs.
A fortnight or so later came the great
event of the shepherd’s year, the shear
ing, for which great preparation was
made wicliiu house, and barn. The best
the farm afforded must be provided for
the furnishing of the table; for the
shearers ware not ordinary farm labor
ers, bit mostly farmers and farmers ’
sons, and as well to do as their employ
er, woo wss likely enough to shear, in
his t irn, for them. Whoever possessed
the ikill of shearing • sheep thought it
Hot beneath him to ply his well-paid
handicraft in all the country round. For
these the fatted calf was killed snd the
green peas and strawberries were picked.
The barn floor and its overhanging
scaffolds were carefully swept, the
stables were littered with clean straw,
the wool-bench was set np, and the reel
fnll of twine was made ready in its place.
Those were merry days in the old gray
barns that were not too tine to have
■wallows’ holes in their gables, moss on
their shingles, and a fringe of hemp,
mayweed, and smart weed about their
jagged underpinning* There was jest
ing and the telling of merry tales from
morning till night, and bursts of laugh
ter that scared the swallows ont of the
cob webbed roof-peak and the sitting hen
from her nest in the left over hay-mow.
Neighbors called to get a taste of the
fun and the cider, to see how
the flock “evridged” and to engage
hands for their own shearing. At noou-
ing, after the grand dinner, while the
older men napped on the floor, wool-
benoh or scaffold, with their heads pil
lowed on soft places, the yooug fellows
had trials of strength at "pulling stick"
or lifting "stiff legs.” The skillful
wool-tyer was rarer than the skillful
•hearer, and in much demand in his own
and neighboring townships. He tied
the fleeces quickly and compactly, show
ing the best on the outside, but with no
clod of dirty locks in the middle; for in
those days wool had its place and dirt
its place, but the fleece wss not their
common place. The catcher was an
humble but not unimportant member ol
the force. He must be alert and with a
■beep ready for each shearer as wanted,
and was never to take np a sheep by the
wool, but with his left arm underneath,
just behind the tore legs, and his right
hand grasping a hind leg. And there
was the boy to piok up looks, discarding
the dirty ones, which were swept out
doors. One’s book aches as he remtun
ers this unpleasant duty of his boy
hood, when be was sceffed by shearers
and aoolded by the wool tyer, and often
had the added labor of carrying the
wool to its storage. Fourteen fleeces
tied up in a blanket was the load, which,
if they had been of nowadays weight,
would have burdened a strong man; but
a five-pound fleece was a heavy one
then. I have never been present at one
of the modern public shearings, which
comes before the swallows do, while
winter is still skirmishing with spring,
and are celebrated in the local papers;
but I doubt if they are such hearty and
enjoyable seasons as the old-fashioned
abearngs were.
-The wool-buyers scoured the country
at or after shearing time, and drove their
bargains with the farmers. The small
lots of wool were hanled in bulk to some
central point of shipment, while the
larger dips were sacked on the grower's
premises. The sack was suspended
through a hole of its own diameter in an
upper floor and a few fleeces were thrown
in, when the packer lowered himself into
it and placed and trod the wool as it was
{Used to him till he had trod his way to
the top. Then the sacks were lowered,
aewed, weighed, marked, and went their
way to market. . < .
The '‘tag-locks” and pulled wool were
mostly worked up in the neighboring
small factories into stocking-yarn, flan
nel, and blankets for the fanner’s use,
and into the then somewhat famous
"Vsnnoot gray,” which was the common
cold-weather outer clothing of New Eng
land male farm folk. Readers of Thor-
eaa will remember that ha mentions it

enough wear for bias. Th# Yankee farm

John B. Gough tells the following :
"A minister of the gospel told me-eae
of the most thrilling incidents I have
heard in my life. A member ol his con
gregation came home for the first time
in his life intoxicated, and his boy met
him upon the doorstep, clapping his
hands snd exclaiming, ‘Papa has come
home 1’ He seized the hoy by the
shoulder, swung him around, staggered
snd fell in the hall That minuter said
to me, T spent the night in that house.
I went ont, bared my brow that the
nlgbt air might fall upon it and cool it
I walked np snd down the hill There
was the child, dead 1 there was his wife
in strong convulsions, snd he asleep.’
A man about thirty years of age asleep,
with a dead child in the house, having
a mark upon his temple where the cor-
ner of tko marble steps had come in
contact with the bead as he swung him
around, and a wife npon the bring of the
grave I ‘Mr. Gongh,’ said.my friend,
T cursed the drink. He had told me
that I must remain until he awoke, and
I did.' When he awoke he passed his
hand over his face and exclaimed, 'What
is the matter? wheream I? whore is my
boy?’ ‘You cannot see him.’ ‘Stand
ont of my way, I will see my boy.’ To
prevent confusion I took him to the
child's bed, and as I turned down the
the sheet and showed him the corpse he
uttered a wild shriek, ‘Ah, my child I’
That minister said further to me, ‘One
year after that he was brought from the
lunatic asylum to lie beside his wife in
the grave, and I attended his funeral’
The minister of the gospel who told me
that fact is to-day a drunken hostler in
a stable in Boston. Now, tell me what
ram will not do. It will debase, de
grade, imbrute and damn everything
that is noble, bright, glorious and* God

An Iceberg Panorama.
__ The officers of the steamship Abys
sinia, from Europe, report a fine display
of icebergs. Early on the morning of
March 2d, while it was yet dark, the
drop in the temperature showed that Ice
bergs were in the neighborhood. Extra
men were placed on watch and the speed
of the steamer reduced. Before daylight
the ioe came in tight, and daring the'
entire day the passengers were treated
to a magnificent ioe panorama. The sun
was bright and clear from an unclouded
sky, and shone on the sides of the mas
sive bergs with fine effect The course
of the ship lay to the south of the ice
mountains, snd the reflection of the son’s
rays from the trickling walls of i^e made
a spectacle matchless in many respects.
About the ship were many broken frag
ments of ioe, small in oomparison with
the main bergs from which they had
broken, bnt big enough in themselves
to form floating islands, over which the
steamship was carefully guided.
At oneiima emtha forexuxmioxrHw 2d
a careful count showed as many as sev
enty icebergs within sight. They were
of every conceivable shape, snd on some
were great peaks rising far above the
m ietheads of the steamer. A great
ci owd of gulls and sea birds of various
sorts were flying from crag to crag of
toe icy islands, and their cries and calls
K>nld be distinctly heard. Great swashes
sould be heard now and then, as some
of the bergs, growing top heavy from
tbe melting of the subaqueous portions,
suddenly turned over and rearranged its
centre of gravity. In doing this it
wonld perhaps strike another btfrg, and
fragments of ioe hundreds of tons in
weight were broken off and floated away
among the mass of frozen debris sur
rounding tbe main cluster of bergs.
These sounds were kept up during the
night of tbe 2d, but on tbe 3d tbe vessel
came out again into clear water.

is that the lady’s first husband was alive
when she became Countess of Easton,
His
appearance in the witness box will be
highly dramatic, for the lady has seen
him and declares she knows nothing
about him. The approaching trial will
rival the Tichborne case and be the sen*
satibn of the season.”
The facts of the matter ore these:
Thirteen years ago Henry Fitzroy, eldest
son of Lord Angnstos Fitzroy, fell in
love with a woman known as "Kate
Cook.” She was handsome and stylish
in person, and her matured charms were
quite sufficient to captivate the yonth of
twenty-three. Unknown to his father,
who was Equerry to the Queen, he mar
ried her. Most chronicles of the peer
age ignored the marriage. Others de
scribed tke bride as the daughter of
John Walsh and the , widow of "Mr.
Smith.” ‘
In 1882 the bridegroom’s social posi
tion changed. Lord Augustus Fitzroy
succeeded bis brother as seventh Duke
of Grafton. Henry Fitzroy became
Earl of Euston. The widow of "Mr.
Smith” became Countess Euston and the
future Duchess of Grafton. But troubles
had already come between her and
husband. They separated by mutui
agreement No fault being proved
against the Countess since her marriage,
the Earl in vain songht an excuse for di
vorce. The mysterious "Mr. Smith”
has now appeared and the excuse is
lounu.
If the case fails Kate Cook wiii be
Duchess of Grafton, and the title
created for a mistress of a King will be
torne by a woman of tbe town.
The Duke of Grafton was made
Knight of the Garter a little over a year
ago. He succeeded his brother, who
died in the spring of 1882. The late
Duke was sixty-three years old and was
member of Parliament for Thetford
from 1847 until 1852. In 1858 he mar
ried Mary Looiaa Anne, daughter of
the third Lord Ashburton, aud in 1853
succeeded his father as sixth duke. The
first Duke of Grafton acted at the coro
nation of James JL as Lord High Con
stable of England, and commanded that
monarch's forces in the action of Philip's
Norton Lane. Afterward he espoused
the cause of the Prince of Orange and
received a fatal wound while storming
the city of Cork in 1690. The third
duke was an eminent statesman, who
was Secretary of State and Prime Min
is tei of England in 1771. Tho present

He Went Into Politics.
"Good gracious,” said the grocery-
man to the bad boy, "I am sorry for

going into politics. I was in politics
one year myself, snd it has taken me
five to get ont and pay my debts, and
now every ward politician owes me for
groceries. You see, they come to me
and wanted me to ran for supervisor.
They said I was just the man they
wanted, a man with a large head, one
who was a business man, and who wonld
not kick at the expenditure of a few
dollare when he conld make a barrel of
money. They said if I waa on the board

I could make the purchase of groceries

With A weakness of the kidneys and bladder,
which the doctors said was diabetes. 1 cmM
not at times stand up, and would have to con
tinually use the urinal both, day and id ;ut.
with intense pains in my back and si les:
there was brick-d ist deposits in my water, I
could not rest wellor lie easily in bod in any
rosture. 1 was at that time employed by the
Maine Central railroa I, and bad to give u-
work for a time. Fearing that it would
sooner or lator turn to that dr. aded Bright's
disease, I called iu my son in I^wiston, who
is in the drug business, and after consulting
with him as to my case, he advised me to use
Hunt's Remedy, as he knew of so man, suc-
tliat it had made in Lewiston
cessful cures
and vie nity. 1 at once commenced using it,
and began to improve. I had less pain in my
back and sides, my water was passed natu
rally with less color and no pain, and after
using several bottles found that my pains
were all gone and tbe weakness of the kidneys
and bladder were cured, and 1 have no trouble
with them now, and can attend to my bus^ i
neas; and for one of my years 1 am enjoying
good health, and thanks t> Hunt's Remedy
For it, and I consider it a duty and pleasure to
recommend so good a me iicine as Hunt's
Remedy, and 1 iurre taken pains to Tecjm-
mend it toothers in this.vicinity. . -tn
