nature Is mere exhibited tndt mas ever
been known in the history of marble quar-
rying, peculiarly illustrating the princi-
pie exhibited by some in minding other
peoples business. Without design, doubt
less, representing the influence of some
people who began well in life, but with
out moral courage to hold out, not only
defeating the design of their creation,
but thwarting the purposes of honest
people"
This may be very instructive and i'm
pOrtant as O lesson from the book Of ma
ture, characters written on marble walls
and interpreted by modern Daniel,
who, by reading nature backwards,
wrings from her all her mighty secrets;
with him the elements can play no tricks,
he can trace effect back to cause, with
a degree Of nicely beyond the cOmpre-
hension of ordinary mortals with ham
mer and chisel he breaks the stubborn
marbles sleep, and mocks his own crea-
tors skill"
After doing justice to the West Rut-
land Quarrics, he refers to the Suther-
land Falls Quarrics, as follows; "The
next deposit most celebrated, and second
in value, is at Sutherland Falls, near the
line of Pittsford," giving a very good
account of the No. I marble, and fea-
lures of the dark and light mourning
veins 1T is all variegatcd, and some
of it presents a brecciated appearance,
rather than stratificd rock" This is all
very well, except the 5rfccjotd portion
of it Breccnted-cOnsisting of angu-
lar fragments. cemcnted together. -
Webster
The writer next gives his attention to
the quarry Of the North Rutland Marble
Co., situated about one hundred and
fifty rods south of the Sutherland Falls
quarry. Since November last this prop
crty has been owned by the Columbian
Marble Go.
He further say: There arc several
deposits at Pittsford, Brandon and Dan
by, minute description Of which I am
unable to give. Now, think those
deposits have been sufficiently developed
to be entitled to the name Of quarrics
as well a. many others not named in tho

THE PIOCHE DAILY RECORD

LAURA D. FAIR is meeting deserved
execration from the people of San Fran
cisco. The following dispatch dated
Nov. 81, to the Enterprise shows the
feeling towards her:
Laura Fair did not lecture this even
ing. About 200 noisy boys and men
assembled in front of Platt's Hall. The
police were on the alert and in strong
force, Mrs. Lane, mother of Mrs. Fair,
appeared on the street but was not mo-
Tested. About the same number of peo-
PIE gathered in front of her residence on
Kearney street and uttered all sorts of
threats and imprecations. Some men
told the people nearest the door that she
had gone from the city, but it was soon
found that she was III the building.
About 8 o'clock Mrs Fair sent to Chief
Crowley for an escort of officers. He
declined to send any and advised her to
stay at home-that it might not be safe
for her to appear on the streets. He
would disperse the the crowd but would
not undertake to give her an escort Her
carriage stood waiting before the door,
but she finally ordered it away and re-
manned in her room, refusing to see any
but few friends. At this hour there is
crowd at each place, but the people are
quiet and no act Of violence is feared.
