general rule the stones are too small TO,
bridge masonry, and they seem to have
been laid up promiscuously, placing large
and small ones together, without muct
regard for "headers" and "stretchers" al
ternately, and with too little care for the
"bond.' 1t fact it would be impossible
to lay stones, SO miscellaneous in size and
shape with much regularity in these re.
spects, and perhaps they are as we'll laid
as the character of tie stones admits of.
1t is the opinion of the committee that
this pier should be placed with its great
est dimension as nearly parallel with the
current of the river as practicable that
it should have sloping ioe-breaker at its
upstream end built of cut stone, or, in
lieu thereof, very thorough guards, built
by driving piles, cramping them with iron
and filling in" with stones and concrete.
The stones in the pier, throughout,
should be laid in courses with level beds
and close joints, set in cement mortar, and
thoroughly oramped together with iron.
Such pier, standing on a solid found
alton of piling, and placed as suggested
above, would undoubtedly stand, but the
affair now erected there would in all prob
ability, disappear with the snow-fakes
along the river banks during the spring
floods, carrying with it the bridge and
thereby endangering the bridges and
other property below.
Very respectfully,
J. J. r. RANDALL,
For the Committee.

PROF. CHILDs' PAINTING OF MIDDLE
TowN.-It has been our privilege on two
occasions to make a somewhat critical ex
animation of Prof. Childs' picture of the
village of Middletown, with the land
scape, embracing the beautiful valley ex.
tending south, presenting one of the
finest views in Vermont. The position
from which it is taken is an elevation
northwest of the village, which enabled
the artist to take, at one view, all the
points of scenery. 1t embraces view OF
the quiet little village nestled among the
hills-the celebrated springs-and the sle-
CANT hotel and its beautiful natural sur
roundings. The great charm of the pic
ture, however, is the landscape view of
the valley running south with its hill
side and mountain perspective. This fully
recommends the picture to those who are
familiar with the locality. We speak I'M
derstandingly of the view, as it has been
familiar with the writer from bis earliest
boyhood, and the scenes awaken in his
manhood years the beauty of the land
scape of his native village. We commend
it most cordially as a work worthy of pat
ronage to those who desire one of the
finest views of Vermont scenery. The
picture will remain on exhibition at
Spaulding's Bookstore for a few days
longer

NEW CARA new smoking and mai
car combined, just completed at the shops
of the Rensselaer, and Saratoga Railroad
at Green Island, made its first trip yes
terday, in connection with the Saratoga
mail train arriving here at 1145. This
car is the first of the class that has been
construc ted at these works, and is a very
fine specimen of elegant and substantial
workmanship. With no attempt at elab-
crate ornamentation, it is designed with
special reference to convenience and dura.
bility. The total length of the car is
fifty-four feet and the width nine and
one-half feet. The mail compartment is
twenty-five feet in length, which affords
unusually ample space for this purpose.
This compartment is fitted up with every
convenience for facilitating the postal
business, and is great improvement upon
the contracted quarters into which Uncle
Sans officials are go often crowded on
our railroads. The sliding door is pro-
vided with an improved spring catch,
which is unfastened by the simple pres
sure used in sliding back the door This
compartment is handsomely wainscotted
with block ash finished in oil, and is well
lighted and ventilated.
The smoking compartment is commodi-
GUS in its dimensions and very airy and
tasteful in its style of finish. 1t is pro-
vided with twenty-four seats, accommo.
dating forty-eight passengers, and ample
ventilation is afforded by eight ventilators
The wood work of this compartment is of
black ash and black-wslaut finished in
oil and highly polished. The cornice is |
of black-walnut relieved with gilt mould
ings giving a very pleasing effect. The
seats are upholstered with crimson plush
and are in all respects as comfortable as
those of frSt-class passenger cars. The
colors employed in ornamenting the in
terror are light neutral tints, handsomely
contraste1, and the sffect is peculiarly
light and cheerful.
The compartment is provided with cup
boards at each end, one for the use of the
conductor and the other for the newsboys.
The car is altogether as inviting and |
cosy place as one could wish in which
to enjoy "quiet Havana" This new car,
in addition to the elegant passenger
coaches placed upon the line last year,
renders the equipment of the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga road second to none in COM

PERKINsvILLE.-Abou midnight on
Saturday, the 18th inst, the blacksmith
shop belonging to Joseph Chaput, near
Black river bridge, was discovered to be
in flames, and in short time was burned
to the ground. Insurance on shop 5000,
on tools 5000, which will nearly cover
the loss. 1t was very still night, other
wise the Hawks Mountain House, owned
by Samuel Whitton, would have been in
great danger. .....
The fire was followed by good rain
which continued through the day on Sun
day, refreshing the thirsty fields.
Rev. Mr.. Cudworth left on Friday

THE GALAxY.-The GALAXY will enter
upon its twelfth volume with the forth.
coming July number, and will celebrate
the event by appearing in now and clearer
type, which will greatly add to its sp.
pearance. The publishers are triumphant
over the success the magazine has had
during the last year. Its circulation has
not only vastly increased, but the gain has
been steady and sure in all parts of the
country. The Galaey has good reason tc
feel proud of the literary position which
1t has attained, and the strong hold it has
on the respect and interest of the reading
public.

NORTH PAwLET.-A site has been pur.
chased with the view of erecting cheese
factory in this section of the town There
are kept in this school district numbering
ninety inhabitants, over two hundred
cows, and there are factories in each dis.

to be no good reason why one should not
be established within our own limits.
"A large and enthusiastic meeting OF
dairymen convened at Granville, N. Y, on
Tuesday last, to consider the propriety OF
establishing weekly market day, for the
sale chiefly of Dairy products. Nine
towns represented, namely, Granville,
Hebron and Hampton, n. Y, and Paw
lett, Rupert, Dandy, Tinmonth, Wells
and Poultney, and seventeen cheese fac
tories. Hon. Luther Sheldon of Rupert,
was chairman and Allen Whedon, Esq,
of Pawlet Secretary. After full and free
discussion it was resolved to inaugurate
the system that on Saturday of next
week, the first market be held. Buyers
and sellers can come together, it is be-
lieved to their mutual advantage. The
prospect for good dairy season are now
very flsttering, the recent rains having
put an entirely new face on our
pastures, other crops-rye, oats and pota-
toes look promising. 1t is expected the
hay crop will be light, and corn has suf-
fered from the worms, but on the whole,
the out look is encouraging
"A spirited and highly exciting game
of base ball, was played on Friday, at

inning the parties stood balanced II to II.
On the ninth inning the North Pawlett
club scored seven runs, when the Cam.
bridge club went to the bat and made one
or two runs, filled all the bases, end as
the North Pawlett club believed, deter
mined through the friendly aid of the
umpire to win the game. The North

1t is now thought that the choice of Presi-
dent in Mexico will devolve upon Congress,
in which case the opponents of Juarez will
doubtless be successful. 1t does not matter
much either way, however, as revolution
seems to be imminent in any event, and no
matter who may be the defeated candidate he
will probably attempt to assume the Presiden-
cy by force Of arms. Both parties are using
money freely, Juarez, it is said, drawing upon
the public funds to influence his election.
The revolution still continues in Tampico, the
Government and all hands being too busy
electioneering to bestow much time upon the
suppression Of an nsurrection. Indeed, the
General who is ostensibly attempting to put
down the revolt, is accused of an intention to
organize it in favor of Lerdo the opponent of
Juarez. Considerable political disturbance
also exists in Guerrero, and the condition of
the country generally seems to be one of un-
usual turmoil.
