part of the county know all public trans

Stowe people have the name of being
wide awake and enterprising in all laud-
able undertakings, and justly so too, we
think. Everybody in the town feels
proud ofwhatis being done to accommodate
the pleasure seekers who throng the place
during the summer months. Everybody
talks about the new hotel, and what a
splendid affair it will be when it is fin
ished; and we'll they may, for it is de.
cidedly big thing" Only think of a
hotel in little Lamoille, "Spunky La
moillc," with nearly two and half acres
of floors, and about seven acres of walls,
and parlor as large as thirty and for
ty foot barn, all finished up in good shape,
with gas fixtures for nearly every room.
and all the other appurtcnancessand con-
yeniences of first class hotel and all
this work done since the setting in of
winter last fall.
To be sure this is not all done by Stowe
but it is done in Stowe. and the people
may justly feel proud. This salue hotel,
when it is completed will be "big wheel"
1t has already cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. nearly every dollar Of which
is paid. and the house is not yet furnished,
nor indeed, finished by quite long
chalk. There are now 20 or 80 hands at
work on the building. and it is thought
that it will take till the middle of June
to complete it with this large force.
Some idea of its cost when finished,
may be jumped at when the present
high prices of everything is considered.
The gas fixtures and water works are es-
timated to cost $4,000 each. -
Some of the conveniences and extras
over and above those of an ordinary
country hotel, are three bathing rooms,
barber's shop, a billiard room, two
large cooking and heating ranges in which
all the water necessary to supply the
Mushroom and bath rooms is heated to be
conveyed to them by pipes. so that both
may be plentifully supplied with either
hot or cold water. In short every nee
essary for the enjoyment and convenience
of the guests is to be supplied in the
best and most agreeable manner, so that
if person comes here with the blues or
with dyspeptic or any other of the ten
thousand ailments to which poor humani-
ty is liable, and to which we are all more
or less subject, he will find everything at
hand to aid him in bringing himself
back to normal state. There will be
bathing conveniences enough to suit the
most extravagant follower Of the water
cure system, and we presume the table
will supply all demands of the most de-
voted follower of Graham. Tho sur
roundings will be sufficiently varied to
suit the most ardent lover of nature.
There is the lofty grandeur of the high
est of the Green Mountain peaks; and
the surrounding country is made up of as
lovely and inviting swclls and slopes,
heights and dclls. beautiful drives, en-.
chanting walks, and shady hooks, and
quiet groves, and is filled with as pleas.

opened 10 the rear Of the building and a
park fitted up with shade trees. gravelled

People may come here for pleasure, and
get their fill; they may come for health
and not come amiss; they may come here
to store their mind with natures teach
ings, and go away with life long lesson
they may come here to improve their NOR

Elements to forgetfulness of the future
everywhere surrounding them, they may
find society and influences as good anc
