The new Westinghouse. now in process
of erection, by the Universalist Society in
Stowe, is destined to be one of the finest
wood structures of the kind in the State.
And if the plan is carried out, (as no
doubt it will be, in spite of hard tines
there is little doubt that it will be SUCH
For four or five years the Society have
been contemplating the erection Of a house
of worship, but until the early part of
this year, have not been able to secure a
site that would give general satisfaction.
The one finally procured, that of the OLD
Meeting house, satisfies every body.
The old house has, this season been re-
moved to another part of the village, and
put on good site and foundation, at an
expense to the town of something like a
thousand dollars, for the use of the town
as town house, lecture room, convention
room, or an occasional funeral. 1t is il
excellent repair, and is convenient and

Last winter. an association called 1.-The
first Meeting house Society in Stove" was
formed for the purpose of building a new
Meeting house. The requisite funds were
provided for the building of the house
the procurement of good Organ, and al
\ suitable furniture, by the sale of pews t
responsible persons, at an aggregate o
prices sufficient to cover the whole cstima
ted expense.
Lumber has been gathering ever since ear
ly in the spring, but so many of our bcs
mechanics have been engaged on the Schoo
house that it was not thought best to com
mence on the Meeting house till within
the last month, during which time til
work has been vigorously prosecuted. Th
, site was prepared, the foundation laid, am
, now the main body of the building
erected and portions rough boarded. Th
frame was prepared by our mechanics un
. der the superintendent of Mr.. SallieS
and it is said th at the first mistake is ye
to be found in the frame The outsid
r will be rapidly finished, and probably tn
inside work will not be pressed to compile
tion till next season.
Mr.. Edgerton, Of Charlotte, a maste
meeting house builder, will be here a shoI

and his machines which he says will NOV

. belfry, and the construction and raising c

t The main body of the house is to b
e seventy five feet by fifty. In addition t
e to that, there is to be portico in from

| entablature supported by four Auted co

f resting on granite blocks. This portic
