ably rich in silver. Taking all these facts
into consideration, it may be assumed that
the productive and habitable territory of
the Canadas is not confined to their till

Having considered the population, re-
sources and capabilities of the Dominion
of Canada, at some future time, it may be
of interest to consider the comparative
area and population in comparison with
New England, and the causes that have
retarded the growth of Canada hitherto
as desirable information in forming opin-
ions upon the policy of annexation.
PITTsFoRD.-The Ames Italian Mar
BILE Quarry Company have leased their
marble quarry ION the E. @. Wheaton
FARM to Geo. f. Hall, Esq, of Cleaveland,
Ohio, for long term of years. This way
of disposing of this quarry, seems to be
very satisfactory to all interested, and we
hope it may prove a success, and profit
able to all interested.
Nathan III. Hand, Esq., has sold mot
leased) to Geo. F. Hall, Esq, an undevel-
oped marble quarry on the I. G. Wheaton
farm for handsome little pile of cash.
Benjamin Stevens has bonded an
undeveloped marble quarry en- his home
farm to N. J. Green of Rutland. The
sum to be paid on deciding is some twenty
thousand dollars.
The Pittsford Quarry Company have
got into little mass among themselves,
(the owners,) and are not driving their
business as usual. 1 presume the big fish
will swallow the little ones, and then the
business will go ahead again. They have
expended some two hundred thousand
dollars in building one of the best marble
saw mills in this country, with other
buildings, opening quarries, etc, etc.
d. P. Peabody, Esq has sold his
place, buildings and six acres of land, to
N. II. Parmelee for twenty-five hundred
dollars. Mr. Parmelee has taken posses
sion.
j. D. Barber has bought the "Nourse
Mill" of Edward Cotting, and Barber U
Smith have built an addition to if. and
have put in machinery for the manufac-
ture of butter tubs, pails, etc, at consid'
erable expense.

health, has sold his cooper shop to Fred
Fl. Hobson, who will continue the busi-
ness of his predecessor.
ALL the real estate of the late and
lamented George Fl. Simonds is now for

The Dudley & North sash, door and
blind factory and all their property has,
by their failure come into the hands oi
our esteemed and worthy townsman,
Charles G. Colburn, Esq, and may now
be bought at very reasonable figures
which might prove an extra good invest
ment for the right man.
Our enterprising merchant, Rollin s.
Meacham, is making some permanent and
pleasant improvements to his dwelling
house.
R. n. Allen, Esq, has sold to parties
in New York, an interest in the straw
board factory, and the new company il
enlarging and building additions to the
same for the manufacture of straw board
car wheels. They have been tried and
prove to be great improvement on the
cast-iron wheel, and the company have
already received large orders for them
This is a new thing under the SUD, but II
has proved to be good thing as well as
new.
Mine host, Scofeld, is brushing ur
bis large and commodious house and con-
tents, making ready to entertain those
who may give him call for the summer
of 1871, and it is an understood fact that
his tables and their contents are not bea'
in this section of the country, and the
listers or appraisers for 1870, it seems
call it very valuable estate, as the grand
list shows.
Our town has four stores that keeI
a good assortment of goods, and are eacf
doing a good and thriving business, bu
no drug store Would this not be gooe
opening for one of Rutland's enterprisine
druggists to make money?
