Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1869-06-24

John w. Kimball, of the Arm of Kimball
s. Bennett of Boston, for $4,000. we
understand Mr.. Kimball intends to erect
nice buildings for residence on Inc
premises, next season.
CAyENDIsH.-The stone factory at Dut-
louisville owned by the venerable Ma
thaniel Fullerton, Esq, OF CHESTER TO-
gether with all the land, boarding houses
and out buildings connected herewith
ia for sale. During the war this mill was
RIM bv Fullerton & Co, who made large
.uonnt of money. AT the close OF the
war they shut down, and the property has
been idle and unproductive since.
We learn that "Uncle Nat" could have
taken. then for this estate, sixty thousand
dollars, but wanted more; but will now,
since the decease of his son, T. +. Fuller
ton, Esq, take less sum by some thou
sands than he was offered then. This is
a valuable water power and privilege Tor
man or company of means, and there Is
vet more money in the concern, If the
right parties will take hold of it.
The "fort' or stone store where re-
Gently the Bent family exhibited such
warlilke propensities, still remains in pos
session of the ''pater-familias," who, with
his wounds dressed and semi-convalescent,
bravely occupies his castle. 1t Is believed
that the women and children Will not
again renew the attack on the brave ola
man, unless they are led by some military
Colonel or General in person. Cobble
stones and hot water, or even pistols, In
times of Peace Jubilees" are entirely out
of place, and inadequate to the task OF
obtaining ones legal rights, much less
any fancied woman's rights and all such
demonstrations as the usually quiet vii
lage of Cavendish has so lately witnessed,
seem more appropriate for South Carolina
or Tennessee The tx uklux Khan" is not
required TO be developed in Vermont.
PROCToRsyHLE.-k d. Grimes,
has purchased of Rev JOS. Freeman, DID,
the building lotiwest of the Cronan estate,
for 1910
The repairs upon and about the rail
road depot appear now to be complete
/ The steps leading to the platform extend
i ing around the building are broad and
ample and easy. Like the presence of the
accomplished Superintendent of the Road
Col Merrill, they speak for themselves
and leave favorable impression.
-Messrs Bruce and Clark, late of Rut-
land, in their newly purchased livery
I stable, are doing nicely, and we are told
/ that Proctorsville wishes Rutland to send
more such men of her citizens to that
place. Honesty, industry, steady habits
and attention to business all secure sue
/ cess.
-Ex-Gen Fletcher's health is some
what improved. and he rides out to enjoy
these pleasant days. Though an old sol
dier, and whilom a Major General-and
always first on the feld-of politics, the
good man got thrown in the attempt te
4 atleHd the puptHdtoIidl caucus, oii Tx
Saturday before the Rutland Convention
Being personal friend of Lieut.. Gov
ernor Converse and DESTROYS to make him
| Governor, he started for the caucus, as he
supposed in time. but just as he arrived al
| the place of rendezvous he met the
| Washburn men, under the lead of Gen
Seaver moving off from the field, having
elected their delegates and adjourned the
caucus sine die. Young America and the
suppleness of a town committee were too
much for him. Hence the vote of Caven
! dish Though nfncteen .twentieths of hel
people were for Converse, au I.utiauu
was cast for Washburn. y party mar
shalled by such active and earnest leader:
as the Adit.-General, in the recen
i caucus had, will always succeed no mat
ter what the odds may be against him
and his opponents ought not to complain
FAIRBANKS SCtLEs.-We learn from
the Caledonian that the MesSrs, Fair
banks are rebuilding the dam at thei
scale mandatory. Itwas built fifty-fo
years ago by Mr.. Joseph Fairbanks, tn
father and grandfather OF the present pro
prietors, to furnish the power for girls
and saw mill, which have long since dis
appeared for the sale of business. W

large and pressing orders from severa
foreign countries, and the sales of thei
scales in this country, thus far this year
are largely in excess of. any r'"'iou
