The New Reservoir.

, The work of repairing the new reservoir
is now nearly completed and few days
will suffice to give the finishing touches
to this important public improvement.
The relaying of the paving of the interior,
which proved such disastrous failure as
ct first executed, was finished some three
weeks since, and the admission of the
water has thus far disclosed no leakage,
and demonstrates the thorough and sub
stantial manner in which the work has
been performed The stone employed in
repairing ia the same as was previously
used, but the work has been done in such
walls, and hence an additional am
cunt of material has been required. A
clean, fine gravel, of superior quality !;
has been employed in reconstructing the
pavement, which from the experience of
Boston and other cities in the construc-
ton of reservoirs, has been demonstrated
to be as permanent as hydraulic cement.
This gravel was selected with great care,
and was brought distance of about two
miles for this purpose. No inconsiderable
part of the expense of the reconstruction
has been the cost Of hauling this ma
terial -e... 49, VI ..,...-..
The depth of the water in the reservoir
at present is sixteen feet, which gives a
capacity of one million gallons. The
hight of the walls, however, will admit of
an increase of the depth to eighteen feet,
by raising the waste pipe, when the ca
pacity will be increased about one-fOurth.
The work of properly leveliug the sur
faces of the embankment IL now in
progress, and when completed gravel
walk will be constructed around the mar
gin of the reservoir, and the top and sides
of the embankment seeded down 80 as to
form handsome greens ward. This will
add materially to the external appearance
of the work and prevent damage from wash
ing by violent rains. A substantial pick
eft fence is now being erected, surmount-
ing the wall in front. With the high
fence already constructed on the other
sides, the reservoir will TINS be securely
enclosed. The cost OF reconstructing the
paving of the reservoir has been about
twelve hundred dollars, and the amount
previously expended about thirty thous-
and dollars. When entirely completed
it viii form public work that will be
credit to the village, and one in which our
citizens may justly take pride,

PORTLAND AND RUTLAND RAILROAD.
A correspondent of the Boston AdceTtiss7
from Portland says:
AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Portland, Rutland, Oswegc
aud Chicago line held in this city, the
president stated that the contract of the
union was not yet ready for presentation,
as the directors had hoped, owing to the
fact that the New England and oswego
division bad not been able TO perfect their
organization. The meeting was one of
great interest, however, to all present, as
full explanation of the organization, re-
sources and prospects OF the respective
branches of the enterprise was given by
the Hon. Cheney Ames and Gilbert Molli-
son of Oswego; Hon. o. f. Fowler and
VIM. II. H. Mason of New Hampshire ;
Hon. John Gain and Joseph A. Wing of
Vermont, VIM. McEehron, Esq, of Glen
Falls, and many other prominent railroad
men, interested in the undertaking.
1t was shown that but twenty-six miles
10 the State of New Hampshire are un-
provided for that the line from White
River Junction to Woodstock is already
graded, and that the prospect of rapid
construction both in Nav York and this
State, even without the aid Of the govern.
ment, is good.

Ludlow.

One Of the pleasantest social affairs tha'
ever occurred in this village took place
last evening. Mr. E. G. Pettigrew gave {
reception on the occasion of his mar
riage with Mrs. Jennie r. Maynard. AL
who attended pronounced it the pleasant
est wedding celebration that they had ev-
err witnessed in this town. and as o social
gathering equaled only by Mr.. Smith,
"silver wedding" A little before nine
the friends began to assemble at Mr.. Pet
| tigrew's residence on Pleasant street, and
very soon the drawing room was crowded
with well wishers, Offering their congrat.
ulations to the newly welded couple
They were married by the Rev. w. H
Meeker, at Cambridge, n. Y, at the resi-
denee Of the bride. The ceremony took
place at two o'clock p. No., and at once
they started for home, arriving here at
about seven in the evening.
The bride was dressed ia very tasty
manner and looked charming. She re.
ceived the large company with grace and
cordialty that was pleasing TO oil.
During the evening they were serenad-
ed by the band. which assisted in making
the occasion happy one, showing as it
did the hearty good will of the villagers
The band were invited in and served
with some of the wedding cake.
Mr.. E. W. Smith, ~ conductor of cere-
dS1 oil he nopl5 ., -n,iIvo xe1aoo
ant for the guests. He introduced all to
the bride, and by his superintendance
made everything pass off pleasantly. It
was through his suggestion that The
friends OF Mr.. Pettigrew, determined to
make him beautiful present, as a token
of respect and esteem. The present con-
sisted of set of parlor furniture of black
walnut. The citizens of Ludlow present
ed sofa, two chairs and hat-rack The
brothers and sistess of the bridegroom,
two easy chairs, Mr.. G. w Brady and J.
M. Williams of Worcester, Mass, two
chairs to match, completing the set OF
eight pieces. The aggregate value of the
whole set was S165. Other friends from
Worcester presented q case of silver
spoons and beautiful bronze clock, the
value of the two being S110. Several
beautiful bouquets were given. The
brides boquet, composed of white flowers,
and arranged by Mr.. G. w. Elkins, at
tracted the admiration of all who saw it
We would also mention the floral offering
of Mr.. s. Mayo, as being very beautiful
and Hastily arranged, t...... 49,.
The party separated little after eleven
all having enjoyed the entertainment. All |
pronounced Mrs. Pettigrew pleasant, |
genial woman, and she will be cordialy |
received in her new mountain home. Our
best wishes go with the bride an d bride. |
groom, in their new relation to es Oh other. |
We all trust that the bride may like the |
people of Ludlow, as we'll as the people of
Ludlow like her husband R.

RTTBAND.-A correspondent OF the
Manchester Journal discourses,, conc rning
Rutland, thusly: -4
A superficial investigation Of this
thrifty and substantial town discloses the
following general features, at least. as
strikes the eve of the writer. The finest
and most costly churches, the largest and
most complete hotels, the best post-ofioe
and the greatest number of elegant pri-
Bate residences to be found in any town
or city in the State of Vermont, or indeed,
so far az our acquaintance extends, IN any
town containing no greater population.
in any other State. Here is also very
imposing marble front opera house, with
complete theatrical appointments. 1t is
also safe to say that Rutland can boast OF
the cleanest and best stocked markets to
be found in the State. Merchants Row
and Centre street present series of lofty
and expensive business blocks, of pleasing
architectural styles. Three newspapers
flourish here, one a daily. No place in
the State can show such an array of legal
talent. Several of the most prominent
public speakers in the State reside here, it
is the homo of more first class profession
ais in various departments of art and sci
ence than any other place in the state.
Now to individualize a little, il not pre-
summing too much upon your space. We
have patronized the Central House land
paid for ~ under the management of Maj
John A. Salisbury. 1t is not enough TO
use that hackneyed phrase "he knows
how to keep hotel" to express our ap-
probation The Major fits the business
as perfectly as a-piston-rod fits its cylin-
der, and he moves with as much regular
ity. Always courteous and attentive,
the Major is an active and not retired
host, freighted and ballssted with good
humor and good sense. you can't exhaust
him. Leaving the Centrars most excel
lent fare, clean and comfortable beds,
large high studded rooms and walking up
to the Captains office" we settle mod
crate bill and leave for the Harlem Ez
tension railroad.

PICKING CUcUMBERs.-The following
receipts FROM an exchange are seasonable,
and appear practical -
No. 1. Take cucumbers. wipe them
clean, and lay them into stone jars. AL
low one quart of coarse salt to a pail of
water boil the salt and water till the salt
is dissolved; turn it boiling hot on the
cucumbers; cover them up tight and let
them stand twenty-four hours turn them
into basket to drain. Boil as much bes,
cider vinegar as will cover the cucum.
bers; wash ont the jars and put the Gu
eumbers into them; turn the vinegar on
boiling hot; cover them with cabbage
ieanes and cover them tight. In forty.
eight hours they will be fit for use.
No. =. Pick eucumbers each morning ::
let them stand in weak brine three or four
days, putting in mustard pods and horse
radish leaves to keep them green. Then
take out and drain, covering with vine.
gar, adding mustard seed, ginger root.
cloves, pepper, and red pepper pods, of
each about one or two ounces, to suit the
different tastes, for each barrel. The
vinegar must be changed once, az the
large amount of water in the cucumber
reduces the vinegar 30 much that this
change is absolutely necessary, and. if
they should seem to loose their sharp
taste again, just add little molasses or
spirit, and all will be right.
