Yours truly

West Rutland.
The new mantle manutaCtOry of Pritrh
ard & Co. is nearly completed and will
be ready for occupancy the coming week
1t is fine, substantial structure from
foundation to roof, rejecting mnch credit
on owners and builder. Its ample con
vonience has long been required by the
increasing busiue-s of the firm, The
lower s'orv is fitted up for a workshop
the upper as a store and a s4lesroom, fol-
the better display and arrangement Of
NANTES. The situation and completeness
of the building, and the facilities for pro.
curing stock from extensive marble yards
at the doors, are advantages which
the company have energetically grasped,
aud are now prepared to successfully COM
pete with any like establishment 10 the

| Mr. NJ Cochran, son of DIR. Cochran
of this villnge, resident of Chicago,
had a narrow escape from the fire. In
bis hurried fight his hat was blown from
his head and lost il the f4me7, while his
hair, eyebrows and clothing were consid-
erably scorchcd.
We will soon have a continuous mar
BILE promenade from the west end of Main
street to Clarendon street. The portion
recently opposite the Village school is 90
great an improvement on that crescent
affair around the park that we have seri-
Gus doubts as to the same engineer doing

Mrs. J. L. Waughoq nlIpup'l, from
Rutland, read seleorions, mostly from
American poets, in Central Hall, on Mon
day evening. The programme was we'll
sell selected and Mrs. W, with her pupils
evinced fine cul,u~o in each rendi-
ton. To a-6ridg-U 90 one present aepires
except Master Ormsbey who-e creatures
of a certain "Bridget's" introduc'ion to
the "Heathen Chiuee," took Ill rhr knots
of care from weary faces and induced
spasmodic smiles instead.
The last rows of summer (cabbages)
are being gathered beautifully to their
sellers, aud preparations for cold weather
go bri~k'y on.
A f = y,nr old female at the quar-
ries, greatly ii cted at the hardships of
children of 50 tender an age, declares she
"will lie byrn gain next month, as big
as her mother, and provided with switch

A No 2 potato is exhibited at the
Barnes Hotel weighing two pounds and
half. It was raised by the proprietor. We
believe this is No. Ia days provisions
for a Corkonian.
W have soma anxiety for our excel
lent brother qnill If Old Tt. We trust
that his last munif cent advice to us was
not his farewell strain. We promise new,
err to take his name in vain again if be
will furnish little spice occasionally
from that direction. Our dear Castleton
friend is as volumnious and vivacious as
ever. We are glad to hear he has no
friends in Chicago.
F. H. Morse and J. 4. Baxter have
imported a car load of fine Michigan ap-
pies for this market. They find ready
sale at 81 Is per barrel. Domestic fruit
of the hard-scrabble variety, principally,
(the pedigree is lost in obscurity) is fur
nished by local hucksters for one dollar
per bushel. A Castleton cider pedler in
forms US that he fears a famine in his
branch of trade on account Of the great
demand for uncrushed crabs Of any d. |

Anticipation is never ending Larquet
of delight, Without its exquisite and
ever changing dishes, we would be miser-
able. We anticipate all our pleasures
thrillingly, taking calmly, our disappoint-
ments in exchange for our premature joys.
We thought thusly, after recent visit TO

not fairy scenes, and an art less maid who
offered to show Us a mule which We saw
