IMPROVEMENTS AT JAMESVILLE-The pub
lie Improvements contemplated and in progress
in the village of GAINESVILLE, one mile from New
Worcester, call for word Of reference to that
growing section of the city. Ii is about three
miles from the city hail. on the line of the Bos
ton and Albany railroad, a side track from
which has already been put in preliminary to
the construction of the new depot buildings
there, at the Ludlow street crossing, near
Stafford street. This depot, which the corpora
lion will build next spring, will be great
accommodation to citizens of this and the ada
cent villages of Valley Falls, Cherry Valley and
Leicester, and being but about two and half
miles from the latter place, it will be the nearest
approach Of railroad communication with
Leicester hill, with which it is proposed to con-
meet by coaches. The new road from James
vile to Valley Falls, called Ludlow street,
about half a mile in length greatly shortens
the distance 10 Leicester. 1t is on a commanding
eminence on this street, overlooking the city,
about midway between these two villages, that
the school committee have located the new
school house for graded schools, to be built on
land donated for the purpose by Mr.. Benjamin
James.
Mr.. James, who owns some two or three hun
dred acres of land extending into Auburn ana
Leicester, has three very valuable mill privileges
between Valley Falls and Stoneyile, a descrip.
ton of which appears in his advertisement in
another column. These, when all improved,
must add immensely to the business of that
locality. Mr.. James is now building new dam
at his upper privilege, preparatory to the cree
ton of another large mill there early in the
spring, 200 feet long, with an ell and other
buildings. In his present mill. with five sets of
wooden machinery, he manufactures fine arti,
Gle of fancy cassmeres. His other mill priv.
lege is between the two mentioned, aud near the
railroad and depot.
In connection with the new depot buildings
in arrangement will be made for storage Of
coal to supply the manufacturing villages in
the vicinity. Some idea of the accommodation
thereby afforded may be conceived when it is
stated that Eve Thousand tons of coal are annu-
ally consumed in the villages Of GAINESVILLE,
Valley Falls, Cherry Valley and Leicester, and
with the contemplated increase of manufacture
ing enterprise much greater pducemeut will
be offered to the Boston and Albany road TO
transport II to this depot
Another great improvement is the cutting
down, without expense to the city, Of the hill
just beyond New Worcester, which is being
done by the Boston and Albany road,
Certain parties have purchased few acres of

men of native rock salt, from the territory of

ply it in the market. He also spoke of sum-

VT. and the manner of quarrying, saving and
getting ready for market the marble and slate
which abounds there, also of the iron mines at
Port Henry, on Lake Champlain, where an i'm
menSe business is done. This mine produces
the best ore in this part of the country, and its
average is 80 per cent of pure iron. Some fine
specimens were exhibited.

ance at the meeting of the scientific association
which was held at Dubuque, Iowa, in the sum

great purity and sympathetic qualities. "Thou
art so near and yet so far" by Reichardt, re-
