EcENTRIcITY.-The following singu-
lar instance of eccentricity, illustrating
the close connection of this condition OF
the mind with insanity, is related by
Professor Hammond in his work on dis
eases OF the nervous system.
A lady had since her childhood shown
singularity of conduct as regarded
her table furniture, which she would
have of no other material than copper.
She carried this fancy so tar that even
the knives were made Of copper. Peo-
pie laughed at her, and tried to reason
her out of her whlm, but in vain. In
no other respect was there any evidence
Of mental alteration. She was intelli-
gent, by no means excitable, and in the
enjoyment OF excellent health. An un-
Gle had, however, died insane. A tri-
fling circumstance started in her new
train of thought, and excited emotions
which she could not control. She read
in the morning paper that Mr. kop-
perman had arrived at one of the hotels,
and she announced her determination to
call on him. Her friends endeavored to
dissuade her, but without avail. She
went TO the hotel and was told that he
had just left for Chicago. Without re-
turning to her home she bought ticket
for Chicago, and actually started on the
next train for that city. The telegraph,
however, overlook her, and she was
brought back from Rochester raving of
her love for man whom she had never
seen, and whose name alone had been
associated in her mind with her fancy
for table-furnture. She died of acute
mania within month.

The harlow Grays of st. AIban,

On Friday last the " Barlow Grays," Co.
b., 1st Regiment of the National Guard,
had a competitive drill for Il prize offered
by their Captain, NJ. b. Carpenter. Pre-
vious to the drill, the Captain, who leaves
for Chicago to-day, gave notice of the ac
ceptance Of his resignation. and the com.
pany proceeded to the election of new
commander. The unanimous choice of fine
company fell upon their LIST Lieutenant
Matt. G. Glider, who, however, declined TO
accept; whercupon the company voted
again and unanimously elected Fred. A
Lewis. This gentleman, who has not
hitherto been a member of the company
was sent for, and in a brief speech of
thanks for the honor conferred. accented
the position.
The contest for the prize then came off
in the presence of a large number of both
ladies and gentlemen, and finally resulted in
the selection of Private Will. Robinson as
the winner of the prize. Capt. Carpenter
then presented him in trust with an elegant
gold and silver badge. The badge itself is
of solid silver, in the form of a shield, the
two bars being of gold. II is suspended by
Il scarlet ribbon from miniature strap-pin
containing two silver stars and an eagle II
is inscribed g Barlow Grays, Champion,
1873" and is designed to be worn as well
when off duty as when ON.
After this interesting exercise the com.
pany, with the st. Adams Brigade Band
and Drum Corps, accepted the invitation of
the retiring captain to a supper at the
Weldon House. This affair, although strict
ly private, was said to be highly enjoyable

Central Vermont Marble Company

This company was lately organized in
PIttsford and is engaged in the successful
working Of Halls Quarry" in that town.
The company was incorporated by act of
the last Legislature, Messrs Geo. f. Hall.

tai Of $j00,000 Mr.. George e. Hall of
Cleveland, Ohio, is President and Treasur-
er. Mr.. +. w. Smith of Burlington is
Secretary, and Mr.. Geo. II. Osborn, Super
intendcnt.
The marble deposits occupied by the
company have the reputation of being
among the very best to bc found in this
section. This is substantiated and con-
trmed by reports made by Prof. c. H..
Hitchcock of Dartmouth College, the State
Geologist of New Hampshire, and Prof. j.
S. Ncwbcrry of Columbia College and
Chief Gcologist of Ohio. who state no
quarry they have seen cxcels this in quail
ty, quantity and accessibility. The Bur-
lington Manufacturing Company say they
see no reason why it should not answer
every purpose of Italian marble, and be-
lieye that for monumental purposes 1t is
not eXcelcd by any other marble in Yer
mont. Mr.. VIM. Struthers, a prominent
marble worker and contractor of Philadel-
phia, says that openings tor quarres
could be made which would fully
supply the whole demand from the United
States, while Mr.. Geo. L. Royce of Rut-
land has never seen any deposit of marble
that is more regular in its formation or
sounder at the same depth of penetration.
Mr.. L. d. Selden of Brandon, in de-
tailed review of the quarry, saws the COM
pany has control of two of the most valua-
bic marble properties in the United States,
and states his reasons at length.

GAUGE OF RAILROADS. William Parsons
says that Stephenson built his first road of
a guagc four feet eight inches wide, and
the cars ordered fort were little wide, so
as to bind accordingly the rails were
spread half inch, which was found
easier than to shorten the axlcs, and our
anomalous four feet eight and one haf
inch standard gauge is thus accounted for.
