quarried from the quarry owned by the

few miles from our village. The marble

the railroad depot, where it is chiseiied.
smoothed or polished, numbered and made
ready for the building. 1t is then sent off
in cars to its destined place. The marble
was selected by one appointed by the
United States government, who, after
testing several specimens. from different
) quarries, decided that the marble ia ques-
ton was the best in color, finest and firm
, est in texture of any offered. Hence a
contract was made by which some s l25, 900
worth was purchased, and is now of process
of delivery. In the finishing shop some
fifteen men are daily engaged in prepar-
ing the blocks for the building. The
quarry from which the marble is obtained
improves in color and quality the deeper
the shaft is sunk. 1t is a matter of hon
: est pride that our town is selected as the
place from whence the government saw
fit to procure the marble for its public
building, and hope that what has been
done in this way may be but the begin
ming of large and successful contracts
from the same source. We believe no
) better marble can be found in the world,
both for bnilding and statuary purposes,
than in Vermont.
