Times thus speaks of Middlebury.

Times thus speaks Of Middlebury.
Those who have been familiar with
this village in former years know that its
equanimity was little disturbed by the
march Of improvement. A new house
was thing unheard of, and notwith-
standing the educational advantages af-
torded here, the place rather retrogaded
than advanced, and for many years its
Importance relatively diminished, A new
era, however, seems to have dawned. A
large and handsome warehouse has been
erected on the west side of the river Pres
ident Kitchel has also erected neat and
capacious mansion, at cost Of about
$4,000, Prof Webber, or his father
in-law, Mr., Fairbanks, of eq,ulibri,,m rep
utat'on, for him, is building very fine
residence, said to be the most complete in
this county, at cost of S25 900. Oth-
or Improvements upon minor scale are
being made. The ice having been bro
ken and beginning made, others will
doubtless follow, The village authorities
have also taken down the old school
building which has been for so many years
an eyesore, and are now erecting in its
place a large and neat school edifce,
which is TO cost $4,000 This will con-
tain grammar school connected with
the college, rs well ms village school.
