We notice the advertisement of
Messrs. Ford Il Wolcott in another col
umn who propose to be at the store OF
Chapman Bros Monday, Friday and Sat
urday, of every week for the purpose of
buying prime butter. We welcome them,
for Middlebury has long needed a sharp
competition among buyers in order to
stimulate them to pay for this as much
important commodity as some OF our
neighboring towns We have now five
buyers, and three market days, and pre-
dict that higher prices will be paid than
any season heretofore. Butter makers
will do well to note this and bring share
of their butter to this market.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CoLLEGK.-A

been thoroughly renovated in other RI

of with alcoves for a library, so that thel

with cabinet for the apparatus has bee
