Soar SroNr.-There is fine quarry Of
this singular and useful material at Grafton
IN the vicinity Of Bellows Falls. The mil,
whore 1t IL prepared for use. and fitted for n
finishing establishment in Boston. is at Cam
bridgeport, VT, small village near the line
of Grafton. This quarry has been long
known, as is seen from aniiquated chimney
peicos in the neighborhood, but was formerly
worked upon a small scale, IN part from the
want of modern Improvements in machinery,
but chiefly from the expense of transporta-
ton TO the distant market. That obstacle is
now removed by the railroads. The ircesione,
as il is here called, has the functions feel"
Of the mincralogisi, and the cognomen soap
better describes the striking resemblance Of
touch to the article, although the ease with
which the material is cut and fitted for use
makes the word free a proper and significant
appellation. The spectator at first IS both
amused and surprised to see huge blocks of
granite looking stone cut into slabs by saw
such as he has seen IN use only for wood
The teeth are not SO sharp at the point, but
with this exception, one might think the
workmen had borrowed from a saw-mil the
well known aud essential instrument for
transforming logs into lumber. The soap
stone contains no substance harder than H.
self and 1t cuts under the common saw ems
Ter and faster than hard wood OF the same
dimensions This ! proved by experiment
on a cubic piece, part Of which I carried
away as ia specimen OF The quarry. The slabs
are cut into vnrious forms by circular saws,
which from their rapid motion, seem not TO
preiom avery hard service and the facility
Of working the material is no nconsderable
item OF IT'S value From the various uses 70
which the soap stone is adapted, 1t must soon
find greater demand. In the ordeal ofhcat,
1t seems TO be cousin german TO asbestos
for it endures fire without warp or crack,
even 10 a red or white heat, losing only now
and then thin scales on the inner surface -
Hence It rs fitted and IS used to answer the
purpose Of fire brick On the lining Of stoves
