CABor.-The railroad survey from lIardwek
to Marshfeld, under the direction Of Engineer
Darling, iscompleted, and the profile is soon to
be made, and then all things are ready for active
operations. The idea of getting around Nichols
Ledge and over the Summit, so as to run the
road down through the village of Cabot, has
had to be abandoned, the grade being heavy on
account of the distance being so short from
IIardwick to the Summit As the survey now
runs, il is on the east side of Nichols Pond
thence south to Long Pond, striking into this
town at the head Of West Hill Pond thence
running on the west side of that around to the
old meeting house. 1t keeps on the side hill
down the valley, to within about one hundred
rods Of tho street at the lower village, then
keeps along up to within about one third of a
mile from the hotel of the village, and then
passes on to the other side Of the valley, thence
up to Mansfield. The grade is excellent, and
the road very easy to build, and as we before
said, all things are ready and all that will be
necessary for the town to secure a railroad and
be ON par with adjoining towns, will be tC
i come uOMh WIN hp1hN NHi'N1
If this does not secure the road, it will at leas
make a good basis to commence work upon.
Mr.. John T. Stone has bought of j. A,
Harrington, the house occupied by j. II. Ger
ry, for $500, and his wife has opened milln
cry shop, with good stock of goods.
VIM. p. Whittier, the popular LANDLORD

Meteorological Observations
ron rHs assrn OF NAY, 1879, TAKEN ~ H,spoLr

Very little rain has fallen during the month,
although we have had an unusual number Of
cloudy days, and days when it rained slightly,
Consequently, the ground is getting to be 'ery
dry on the surface. The greatest storm Of the
month was on the "a, when about three quar-
ters Of an inch fell. On the l2th, about one
third Of an inch fell. We have had a few
other rains, but hardly measurable quantities
fell. We bad q severe frost on the morning Of
the Slst, which killed down some corn in the
vallies, ant also tender vegetation generally.
The grass crop looked finely at the close Of the
month, and with seasonable rains cannot fail
Of good crop. Mach late planted corn lays
dry in the hills, and will never start until we
have rain.

IL. O. EDDY.-This talented young organist
is making fine reputation for himselfin Ber-
lin, and promises at no remote day, as an ex-
ecutant, to rival the best organists Of America.
His progress since he began studying in Ger
many has been wonderfully rapid. On the 9TH
of May last, he appeared in mixed concert as
the organist, and was specially honored in be-
ing assigned the first and last but one numbers
in the programme. Among the other artists
who appeared, was his teacher, Prof, llaupt,
the audience numbering more than three thou
sand persons. His parts embraced two elabo-
rate master pieces--one by Bache and one by
Merkel-and were performed without accident
of the slightest kind At the close Of the en-.
tertaiument he was warmly complimented by
numbers Of musicians and others, on his tri
umph. The Berlin papers speak of his playing
as showing all the excellent qualities of the
master, and instance his massive technique
clearness and certainty, energetic taking of the
tones, and a wonderfully beautiful legato."

MoNrrFLfER & RrrLAND RAILROAD Mr..
Charles 7 Sa5in, Of this village, has been en-
gagged for the past three weeks ia surveying
the route for this road, over the mountain.
The result which he reaches does not vary
materially from that Of Mr.. Raudall's, pub
lished in our paper two weeks ago. The point
Of intersection which MIR. Sahin makes with
Mr.. Randall's survey is in the town Of Sher-
bunc, fifteen miles from Rutland, and about
four miles and e-half southeast Of the sum
nit that is, the route from Rochester to
Stockbridge, thence to Pittsfeld, and thence
to North Shorburne, where it would strike the
route already surveyed for railroad from
Rutland to Woodstock and from North Sher-
burne to tie summit of the mountain, and
thence on through Chittenden and Mendon to
Rutland That is, form a junction with the
Rutland & Woodstock route at North Sher
burne, and carry the line across the mountain
to Rutland by the same route established fol
the Rutland & Woodstock railroad.

larged until it has capacity for seating ll2
guests, and has been repainted, repapered, and
It's atuaetlyeness greatly enhanced, and fine
new cooking range, one Of Bmmhall, Deane q

partment. Twenty-four new rooms have been
added to the house, and both old and new

majority of them are supplied with new car
pets, furniture and bedding, The entire house
has been newly replasted, and commodious
bath room has been added. The whole out.
side of the house is to be reprinted, which will
add greatly to its appearance. These repairs
added to the fact that Bishop always sets first
class table, will give the house a new lease oil
popularity, which ii fully deserves.

PLAiNFIELD.-On Saturday party from this
town went to the summit of the Conical noun
tain in Goshen Gore, which lies about one-half
mile south Of a direct line between the villages
of plainfeld and Groton. They cut off a few
Of the trees with which it is covered, so that
these villages could he seen. As the mountain
had no well recognized name, being called
Spruce mountain in Painfeld, while in viii
Jamestown and part of Barre it is known as
Grafton peak, it was decided to give it a new
name, or rather to restore Its old one, Mount
Truro This section was first divided into
towns and named by New York, and this was
the only mountain in the Yorkist town oil
Truro, and, of course, was Truro mountain
This town was formed of what is now Goshen
Gore, corner Of Orange, the eastern half o.
Plaiutield, and the northern half of Barre. A
line of levels was run by D., Smith, from Plain
field station to the top of Mount Truro, ant
it was found to be 1890 feet above Plainfeld
and therefore 1884 feet above the sea, Tn,
summit is four miles and half in an air lin
from Painhed station.
