Marble fronts IN our cities and large vii

brick and mortar wall answer their purposes
very well in primitive and pioneer life,
but the intellectual culture OF this uge OF
progress and increasing wealth. create q

The North Middebury Marble Com
pany say in their report for lS6S--Near-
ly ninety thousand dollars worth Of mar
bic was taken ont during The first year
after the opening Of the quarry. And
though the amount quarred each month
has steadily increased from the beginning;
yet the demand for marble ia such, that
orders for it have accumulated on the
hands OF the Company beyond their ut
most ability to ill Tho demand has in
creased more rapidly than the supply,
notwithstanding the mills ofihe Company
are running day and night, 40 that the
Company have been oblIdged to decline
several valuable orders.
The Rutland Marble Company in a
report say--last year the products of our
quarries was at least one third larger, and
the prices 20 per cent higher, and adds
''such was the demand for marble that
it was impossible to fill the various or
dersn
1t is n notable fact, that nj all the
quarries there is no large accumulation Of
stock and frequently the yards are too
bare TO fill orders as fast as they come in.
The business affords fine opportunities, and
invites the Investment of spare capital,
anh warrants good returns 10 its own
ers.
1t is believed that double the present
amount of American marble would be
annually brought into requistior, and
use, If il was placed on the market. 1t
is Il source OF regret 10 every political
economist, that we should import millions
of dollars worth Of marble f,om Italy
every year, when we ought 10 produce it
and save the money at home. 1t is high
time TO supply ourselves and bn ind'p'n.

Marble Quarrics of Vermont.

1t is significant fact that the marble
quarries of Western Vermont, especially
Of Addison and Rutland counties, are
enlisiIng the attention Of capitalists to n
large and commcndable extent. True,
the business has had some natural obsta
cles to overcome, nevertheless it has
attained magnitude and importance
worthy the attention Of the best minds
What II few years since was regarded
as prospective only, has now become m
element Of real and present wealth,
What then served only to stir the blood
of hopeful geologsts and miners, now
quickens the pulse, and nerves the energies
of the bold capitalist
Quality or MARBlf
The quality Of our best quarrics suffers
nothing in comparison with the best
Italian. 1t is susceptible Of being wrought
in bold relief, and sharp cut lines. 1t
will sustain an immense pressure, and
it is well adapted to building purposes.
Mr.. A b Mulet, the supervising
architect, writing from the Treasury De-
parlment, Washington, d. c., says
the marble furnished by the North Mid
dlebury Marble Company, for the Custom
House and Post Office in Maina, is / am
inclined to consider. equal in texture. bril-
liancy, and durability, to the best Italian.
Henry kingsbury, uperintcndng archi-
ect, Treasury Department. Washington,
ID. c., says-l have tired the Mildlebury
marble under the tools, and consider il
fully equal to any Italian have ever
wrought. | am fully confident that this
marble will prove an entire success as a
building MATERIAL w. Washburn, architect
OF Boston, says-lt has iine, solid, and
beautiful texture, capable of the finest
polish, andthe most cl,bonl;r ornament. A
marble dealer in New York city. VIM
Patterson. says-l have to say that in
lineness, il is equal il not superior. 10 any
marble in the market, whether american
or Italian, although somewhat harder, it
must snrpas' it in durability Additional
testimony conld be furnished 10 any extent
showing that the texture of our MAJ BILE is
compact, that 1t takes q high polish, and
is capable of most elaborate ornament.
1t il extremely gratifying 10 find such
valuable, and abundant tcslimany in
proof oi the superiority of our Vermont

A geographical discovery which
will rather astOnish the map pub

try north Of Lake Superior, by a
party under Prof. Bell, which has
recently been engaged in the gcol.
ogical survey OF that region. Lake
Nipigon, lying only thirty miles
north of Lake Superior, and hith'
erto considered too insignificant TO
find a place in American aliases,
is announced by Prof. Bell to be
larger probably than Lake Onta'
RIO or Lake Erie. He had travers'
ed about 500 miles of it's coast line
when the approach of winter com
PEELED the party to return to Can
ada. This lake discharges its wa
ters into lake Superior by th'
Nipigon river; a broad and rapid
slram, and is the seventh in num-
ber, and probably the second il
size, of tho chain of great lake
which form so remarkable a fea
ture in the Geography of ,Nortl
America. That tho existence o
this inland sea should have remain
cd unknown to this time is tn
more remarkable, considering hoy
near it lies to Lake Superior. A
it receives the waters of upward Q
a dozen considerable rivers, it i
not improbable that the system Q
lakes commencing with Lakc On
tario may extend mony miles fur
ther TO the north.-Cn. Times.

New YORK Electinn.

The official vote of New York at
the late election shows a democrat
10 majority in the State for Scores
tary of State Of 2O.5G6. The en-.
tire vote was 64l,l 1876, a'falling off
from 1868 of 2OS,554-1O0,O7s on
the Republican side and 99,476 on
the Democratic. The illegal dem
ocratie vote, though by no means
as large as that of last year, is
shown by satisfactory evidence to
havc been much greater Than the
democratic majority. Tho full re
turns confirm our supposition that
the Republicans, knowing that
they would be cheated in any
event, allowed the election to GO
against thcm by default. II means
shall ever be devised by which on
honest election can be held in New
York, the state will 60 Republican

would have done at any time with.

conditions.
