vein, getting good quarries, which hold
their color well, but vary in thickness and
toughness as the purples do. For long
time this green slate was suspected; it
seemed impossible that Vermont could
produce an unfading slate, but the evil
dence is conclusive, and has at last aehiev-
ed what seems wonderful success. Sam
Piles of this slate were sent to London,
England, last winter and were so much
esteemed that several large orders have
been received from there, and a thousand
squares have already been shipped to Lon
don and fifty to Bangor, Wales, the centre
of the Welsh slate region.
If, as is believed, this trade is to
strengthen, and the London men buy as
heavily as they now say they shall, they
will take more slate than is now pro-
duced. After England has stamped this
slate with her approval, we may hope for
wide appreciation in America, and
therefore feel in good heart, and believe
the turn is coming for which these quar-
ries have waited and endured tor long
time. Lots of money has been wasted in
badly selected quarries, in stock jobbing
and all the chicane that attends business
in new countries, but the old and we'll
chosen quarries have steadily held their
own, and there is no reason to doubt that
slate quarries will prove financial sue
cess in the end. RUSuCUS.

tAIRuANRN VI OF

FAIRHAVEN, Vt, Oct 1.
taIrhaven is an interesting place to
Visit Tor Its beautiful scenery, were there
nothing else 10 attract the traveller, but
it has particular claim upon all who
wish to see the internal resources of the
country developed, because the center of
the slate region of Vermont, and is second
in the amount of its production of roofing
and manufactured slate to no other part
of the country. There are three princi-
pal sources OF slate in the United States
which are widely known-Pennsylvani
Vermont and Maine; there are large de-
posits of good slate in Virginia, Tennes-
see, Albany and about Dulueh, at the up
per end of Lake Superior; but only in
the vicinity of Slatingtou and Chapmans-
vile in Pennsylvania, Fairhaven, Yer
mont, and Brownsville, Maine, are the
quarries sufficiently developed to be
marked features in the business of the
country.
When We speak of Fairhaven we in
clude under that one name Castleton and
Poultney in Vermont, and Hampton in
New York. Nor do I mean that there are
DO other quarries, for slate is made at
Granville and Salem, n. Y, and near
Brattleborough and at Nortbfeld, Vt.
but the amount and quality is greatly in
ferior to the Fairhaven quarries. This is
geologically an interesting region, not for
its abundant supply of fossil life, but
from its peculiar structure. The absence
of fossil remains, and the relation of the
slate beds to the Trenton formation of
Lake Champlain aud to the Green Mount
aims, long puzzled geologists, some of
whom thought the slate older than the
other beds; but careful observation show
ed that we are geologically turned upside

EVENING.
JUDGE BARRETT's ADDRESS.

After prayer by the Rev. DR.. Drake,
the President, Rev. Dr. Lord, introduced
the Hon. James Barrett of Woodstock,
who proceeded to read memorial paper
upon the eminent character and services
of the Hon. Charles Marsh. As AN appro-
pirate introduction, Judge Barrett briefly
and fttingly alluded to the late Hon.
Geo. f. Houghton, who deceased while
President of this Society.
The introduction of the subject of this
memorial was virtually a rehearsal of
many of the most important historical in
cidents of that early period of our States
existence, in which he SO prominently
figured and with which he was identified
Mr.. Marsh was born in Lebanon, Ct,
in 1865. Other family statistics were
given by the speaker. When his father re-
moved to Vermont he settled upon the
farm now owned by Hon. John Porter,
near Quechee village in the town of Hart
ford.
Charles Marsh at that time was but
feeble boy, and was not conveyed to his
new home till the next year after the re-
moval of the family from Connecticut.
He made Woodstock his home as young
lawyer in 1889. His rapid advancement
into the front rank of his profession, his
success and popularity as a lawyer, were
well portrayed.
So interesting subject as the one pre-
sented by the memorialist on this occasion
is not susceptible of being condensed to
newspaper paragraph. Judge Barrett
knew well of whom he spoke from long
personal acquaintance, as well as pupilage
as law student and afterwards for a
short period as partner in business. The
theme so familiar to the speaker was pre-
sented in most interesting detail. Incl
dents in the practice of Mr.. Marsh were
given which received the marked atten-
tion of the auditors. In politics he was
Federalist, and 30 lived and died. In the
ology he was q Calvinist of the Edwards

WILD BEAST 1T BRATTLBBoRo.-
Great excitement has been created at
Brattleporo by reports of wild beast at
large in the woods near there. His ugli-
ness was discovered by two small boys,
who were out chestnutting Sunday after
noon, insteadiof being at Sunday school.
While they were walking along the edge
of the woods on the hill just north of
West Brattleboro, an immense beast
sprang out of the branches of a tall hem
lock tree at their dog, catching him, and
mangling and breaking his legs. The
boys didn't stop any longer, but ran to
the village, nearly frightened out of their
senses, and told their story. Parties were
immediately formed to hunt for the
animal, which is SUPP ,sed to be a pam
ther, as the hunter. found deep impress
sions where his paws struck the ground
when he leaped from the tree, the distance
between the imprints OF the two forefeet
being more than two feet Search for the
monster has thus far been unavailing.

SECOND GROWTH AGAIN. - Edward
Hoose, Of this place, has left at our Office
quart ofraspberries picked by relative
Of hiis, Hannah Hoose, in that part of the
toSS known as "Hayti," on Wednesday
last. They were good looking berries and
tasted as well as those picked in the early
part of the season. Whether they were
first or second growth we are unable to
say, but until somebody beats Mr.. Hoose,
we are inclined to consider him ahead in
the second growth business, which has of
late become so popular.
P. S.-The above, though good, was
knocked into "pi" by the reception by US
of a lot of the same sort, which we consid-
cred little finer than the last, as we will
continue to do so long as they come in.
These were the gift of Mrs. Norman Mil
lington of SALISBURY, and were picked
by her sister, Mrs. Cynthia Bsdell, yes
terday. We agree with Mrs. Millington
when she says in the note which accom-
panied them that .'ripe raspberries in the
middle of October, grown in the open air,
is an unusual freak of nature"

NY Dear Sir::-I am sorry to say that
unavoidable business engagements de-
mapd so much of my attention the COM
ing year as to render it impossible for me
to perform the duties of a Judge of the
Supreme Court. beg, therefore, through
you, in some proper way to seasonably ad-
advise the Legislature that l cannot be a
candidate for reelection.
Allow me at the same time to acknow-
ledge my obligation for my original ap-
pointment by Governor Dilllna ham in
1860, for my subsequent elections, and for
the cordiality and forbesrance uniformly
extended to me in my official relations by
the people'of the State, as well as by the
bar, and by my associates upon the bench.

Your obedient servant,

in laying the foundation for new round
house, just south of their present one.
The new building, though not exactly a
"round" house is to be used for the or
dinary purposes of such structure. IT
will be really but one third of "round''
house, and will have a partially hollow
circular front. 1t is to be built of brick,
with a marble foundation, and will be in
every respect fire proof. 1t will be divid-
ed into three apartments, each of which
will have holding capacity for three
locomotives, the turn table-being outside
of the building. Its construction is de-
manded by the increasing business of the
road, which has OF late years grown so
fast as to compel the company to add
largely to its locomotives and other rolling
stock, and it is ultimately intended to
build it to it's full proportions of a Ground
house." when it will have holding room
for 27 locomotives, some idea of the size
of which may be gathered when we in
form our readers that the present strue-
ture here holds but 10. A large force Of
men are now engaged on the foundation
and in filling up the grounds adjacent to
the new house, and it is intended to push it
to completion at the earliest possible day.
L. E. Roys, the Chief Engineer and archi-
teot of the company, is the architect of the
building, and the stone and brick work is
in the hands of Z. M. Rounds, who will,
as he always does, make good job of it,
and in the quickest possible time.
