Ono hundred and fifty to two hundred granges are organized each month although it would seem that the territory was ail decupled." This is truly encouraging and still more encouraging when he adds : "Large numbers aro uniting with the old granges in the West, and there seems to he a revival going on everywhere among the granges. There are calls Tor now granges in many places, and an increased number of applications for membership. Pomona granges are lorming everywhere, and cooperative stores contemplated at many leading distrib uting points throughout tho country."

There aro a few drones in every grange who do not attend the meet ings, but the workers will soon drive them from the hive and be stronger without them. 1 There are also a few granges that were or ganized ot improper material lying dormant in different parts of the oouutry. Their charter should be taken from them at once, and tho live members who are eligiblo trans ferred to otbor granges, lhey are lew in number and the order will be stronger wben it bus rid itselt ot them. work under this head.

Its regular meet ings aro the last batunlay in each month. Tbe officers of Littleton (N. II.) Grange were installed last Thursday, by Dr Wm (JhiM of JIath. A grand dinner was servo 1 and all seemed iireatly pleased with the events of the occasion. Saturday evening, February ID, Deputy Hoyden lectures at tho town ball at l'utncy. and Monday evening bobruary -1, at Uor- uish Flat, N. II. Tho public are invited, both ladles and gentlemen. Lecture com mences at 7, p. m. 1 a 1 A copy of the Rules for Patrons' Cooper ative Associations recommended by the national grango is received. It is published by the national grange and is sent for five cents by 0. II. Kelley, secretary, Louisville, Ky. Ascutney Graiige is holding meetings of great interest to farmers, on the urst and third Saturday ovenings of each month. At the meeting on the IVIth the members will discuss the relativo importance and profits ot dairying and wool growing. A paper will be read by tho lacliei, who wish to re ceive articles early. 0, P. II. Buekham, master of Iowa stnto grange wrote Col Smedley, lecturer of the national grange, at Middlnbury, that the subordinate granges of Iowa had almost without exceptiou paid their dues to tho state grange up to January 1, and the order nover had been so prosperous in Iowa as it was then. This was very encouraging, and very different from the reports circulated by the enemies ot the order. Col A. B. Smedley spoke at Ludlow, Tuesday, February 1, to a full house and alter tbe lecture Col Smedley and Deputy JSoydcu gave private instructions to tho I'atrons. Alter Uol smedley retired Deputy Boyden read tho rules for the formation of pomoua granges and explained them, and they were discussed at length, and L. G. Fullam, master of Ludlow Grange, was appointed a committeo to whom the granges of Black river vailoy were to report, when thoy had discussed tho question ot lorming a pomooa grunge, the question to be disoussod at their next meeting. 1 hursday evening Col smed ley lectured at Woodstock in the village ball to the Patrons, and the hall was crowded to overflowing. He spoko an hour and a half in bis u.vual interesting style, after which Worthy Master E. P. Col ton was called upon and ho gave a very happy and instructive talk to tho Patrons. Col Smedlov and Worthy Master Colton then retired aud Dep uty Boydea explained the rules for forming pooiona granges, lhey were discussed and lirothcr U. U. liuck was appointed commit tee to whom the granges of Windsor county report alter discussion at their next meeting the propriety of forming a pomona grango in Windsor county. On Friday Col Smedley spoke at Brattlcboroas mentioned elsewhere. His lectures havo been productive of much good in Vermont, lhey havo aroused tbe I'atrons to increased activity. His descrip tions of Western granges havo dispelled the illusions ot those who tearcd lest the West ern granges were dying out. Col Smedley was one of tbe early workers in the grange movement, and baa seen tho order grow from a few weak granges to thousands ot strong. healthy organizations and has full faith that the order is with ua to stay. The Patrons ot Vermont were very fottuuate lu securing his services at this time to speak atao many dinerent places in tbe state, tie will spend a week in .Maine, a day or two to Connecti cut, and then ho expects to visit Louisiana. i'omoua granges are being established in every state, this winter, Vermont already having two, and several others are to be or gauized immediately. Wu copy from tho Ohio l'urmer the following excellent reasons for tbe organization ot pomona granges : 1. Iho establishment ot a pomona grange in every county will greatly facta tate the government ot tbe order. z.. It will enable all tbe granges in tho county to work io harmony, and to find out und approve of the best means to gain certain ends in which all tho Patrons aro interested. it. It will facilitate tbe uuancial and co operative transactions of the order, and legalize the same, while on tbe other band tbe county councils have no such power, aud cannot protect themselves. 4. It will give a new impetus and life to tho order, and it will keep it up, because it will bo attractive, and it will have power to en lor co its rules and edicts, being a con stitutional branch of the order and legally authorized to engage and decide upon such business, as may properly come before it, while the couuty councils havo no recog nition or legal sanction lor their orgauiza tioo. . It will have a tendency to oraw out the best abilities of the members of the order, and stimulate to activity and work iu tho good, cause; because it confers upon its members a high degree in the order, aud no member should be elected to such a degree uulcss lin or sho is au earnest worker well informed, has tho good of tho cause at heart, aud merits the distinction. l)frtat ftotlrru.
