Butter buycrs, with U.S. this week, are not
paying the prices that have been OF late. 1t
may have been observed that our quotations of
the butter market in Boston and St. Albans,,
have been nearly alike for some weeks. Com
petition among buyers here has stimulated
prices so that their profits we apprehend, will
not be very large. Notwithstanding the high
prices paid, we believe the quantity sent off is
considerably less than last fall, when prices
were lower.-l&. Adams Messenger.

A HOPEFUL MOVEMENT We learn that W
A. Barnes, ESD, the pioneer of the marble bus
mess in Rutland, who opened the first quarry
and has done more than any other man in pros
ecuting the business, has for some time beer
thoroughly convinced that marble of a very SUI
perier quality existed in Middlcbury and within
IL few weeks he has given the matter careful at
tenton. The result is, an association has beer
formed, in this and some of the adjoining town
about 400 acres of land has been purchased
and the work is already commenced. 1t is pro
) posed to employ as many men through the win
ter as can be worked to advantage, for the pur
pose of thoroughly testing the quarry.
| The texture of the marble as it appears at
| moderate depth is far superior to anything il
America yet discovered and should it be foun'
sound it will be mine of wealth the value O
which is not easily computed and will lend al
impulse to every branch of business in it
neighborhood .-Middle5ury Register.
