been made, and from this number seven
hundred and twenty-six went over $500 per
ton, and forty-twopaid by milling over 5000,
and some as high as 1856 per ton, of second
class ores. One of the most important dis
coveries ever made in the district, was that
of bed of coal or bituminous shale situated
about seven miles northeast of Hamilton.
There is a bed or vein about nine feet in
thickness of this material The country
rock is carboniferous limestone, underlying
sandstone; and from information obtained
from those who profess to know, these are
features very favorable to the finding of a
good body of coal. A house here twelve by
fourteen feet, with one room only, costs
$1,000; therefore parties engaged in putting
up large buildings, must necessarily have
had great deal of confidence in the per-
manency of the country. Outside of the cost
of the building, a lot costs from $1,000 to
$4,000; consequently, a party having but a
small capital, cannot think of buying a lot
and building here at the present prices of
material.

Now AND THEN. 20 years ago
Col. Joseph Scott began to keep store on
the place now owned by Capt. Job Hoyt,
in what was called buttery or cheese
room-a small room by 10 feet or less in
size. His goods usually consisted OF web
each of imported cotton cloth and calico
for such as could afford to buy it, and a
few pounds of tea, tobacco, spice, nails, and
few things the fer people of Craftsbury
could afford to buy. Time has slowly
wrought changes, and now there are seven
stores in town---three at the village one
on East Hill, one at the Mills and two on
the Common. All seem to be doing good
business. There is also tin shop on the
Common, where hardware and Yankee no
tons are to be found in abundance.

GEN. PRIM JOINS THE SPANISH Re-
PUBLICANs.-The Madrid correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune, under
the date of April Is, after describing
the effective speech of toe republican
orator, CASTELAR,, says:
"Prim on Tuesday night went to
Castelar's house, and frankly stated
that the monarchy had become impos-
sible; that the republicans were mas
ters of the situation, and that he was
ready to unite with them. This offer
was al once accepted. 1t is resolved
that the republic shall be allowed to
glide in, without shock, without vio-
lence. There is even an understand
ing respecting the ministers. Prim
will remain minister of war. As, how
ever, in this position he would become
a standing danger to the republic,
national militia is to be enrolled to
form a counterpoise. The future f.
nance minister, the minister ofmarine,
and the minister of state are all des-
ignated. The discussion of the con-
stitution will be allowed to 60 on, for
the idea is to consume time, SO that
the projected change may have more
time to work. 1t is even likely the
monarchial form of government will
be voted, but as there will be no mon.
arch the republic must be accepted as
a matter of course. Then we shall
have call for new Cortes Constit
uentes, which will undo the consti
tuition just voted and remodel it more
in accordance with the principles of
the revolution, and in harmony with
republican institutions. This, at least
is. the plan of the new allies at pres
ent. Spain, however, is such coun
try of surprises that an unexpected
event may upset this event"

BosToN Wool MARKET The wool mar
ket continues dull, as last reported, with
very few buyers coming in for supplies
| The current sales are mostly in diminutive
| lots to small manufacturers, who seldom
anticipate their wants to any extent. The
| large corporations are mostly stocked ahead :;
and, as a general movement is on foot to
curtail the production fgoods, by running
on short time, there is no disposition to add
materially to their supplies of raw material
Thereported sales indicate simply the eur
rent wants of consumption, which are nee
essarily limited in the present depressed and
unremunerative condition ofthe goods mar
ket. Yet it is thought that an improved
demand for wool will spring up before the
clase of the season, and that manufacturers
will be anxious to secure supplies to bridge
over, in view of the uncertainties which ex-
ist respecting the cost of the new clip, and
the precise time when it will be available
Old wool is much lighter and easier to work
than new, and prices are certainly low
enough to make it an object for consumers
to lay in a stock of the former to fall back
upon while the new clip is getting season
| ed.
! There is little or no concession in prices,
so far as fleece wool is concerned though if.
holders should undertake to force sales,
faster or in larger lots than are wanted for
immediate consumption, they would I'M
doubtedly have to accept lower prices.
But the stock of all grades is very small,
and some parcels of very choice double ex-
ira and above have been sold, during the
week, at quite full prices. No. and ex-
ira are the lowest grades to be found in any
quantity, and these are selling at a range of
48a32c. But pulled woods are unsettled and
lower, being in relatively large supply, and
holders are anxious to sell at this stage of
the season. There is very little doing eth
er in California or fine foreign woods; but
the carpet grades in fair demand at low
prices.
Sales of domestic for the week have been
small and foot up about 525, 900 lbs, at a
range of 43a5S for fleece and 46a54 for va
rious grades of pulled. - Commercial BuHe-

STANSTEAD.

The house and barn belonging to Walter
Covey, at Pinkham's Corner, were consumed
by fire about II o'clock last Saturday night,
and two women, Mrs. Mary Ann Tryan
aged 80, and her daughter aged SO persisted
in the flames. 1t is thought that they were
wholly unconscious, and never awoke to re-
alize their awful situation The chamber
they occupied was in flames when the fire
was discovered. The door leading up stairs
was at once opened by Mr.. Convey, but the
flames rushed out with such violence that
he was driven back. The next attempt to
rescue them was made from the outside by
means of ladder at the window. Mr..
Henry Schoolcraft assembled the ladder and
broke in tho windows. but again the flames
rushed out with such fury as to knock him
over. When he was at the window he saw
the bed on which the unconscious victims
lay and all seemed quiet in the room save
the rushing of the flames Soon after the
roof fell in, and the two bodies came down
side by side. Water was thrown upon them
and they were finally taken from the ruins
but so terribly burned that they had very
little resemblance to human beings. Near
ly the entire contents Of the house were
burned, and two calves and one sheep in
the barn, and we understand there was no
insurance. The cause of the fire is I'M
known, but it is supposed to have originated
in q defective chimney.
