NATIONAL BRADFORD VERMONT FRIDAY FEB 1872

THETFoRD.-The revived condi
ton of Thetford Academy and its
enlarged facilities for education,
have increased the demand for real
estate on Thetford Hill. Several
unsuccessful efforts have recently
been made for the purchase or rent.
ing Of suitable houses. There are "A
few old houses for sale, and some
fine locations for building. 1t is
hoped that the increased demand
for tcnements, will give more activ.
ity to the place, and that fence.
straightencrs aud rcpaircrs, and
house. carpentcrs and painters, will
soon be in great demand. The PEG.
pie of the town have contributed so
literally to the building fund of the
Academy, that some of the sur.
roundings of the place have been
sadly neglected, but the way now
seems to be clear for new efforts to
increase the attractivcness of the
village, which for the salubrity of
it's air and the beauty of its situa.
ton, Is rarely SURPASSED.
Last summer, in anticipation Of
the assembling here of eight hun.
dred people on the lth Of July the
Park fence awoke from it's long
sleep, and is righted up posts vel
coined one rail, but the scarcity Of
lumber hardly gave it time to take
Il full breath, and it speedily sunk
back into its Grip Van Wrinkle"
SAUNDERS. Since the great snow
storm Of Saturday and Sunday,
the posts have looked darker and
more lonely than ever before, and
they and the half o,ercd rail are
pleading with snow in their eyes for
the supply of paint and a sister rail.
1t is presumed that this plea will
be heard blythe public spirited ciii
zens, as Frank N. Bond. the pant
er Of the village, has just recovered
from a wound in his arm, and as
The abundant snow will soon set |
