WEST PAwLET. 4
This place shows healthy growth
six dwellings and a commodious store
going up this season. IL
We now have potato starch mill
in full operation; also plaster and feed
mill and a carriage shop, all run by the
aid of water power. The slate Interest
is being developed to a considerable ex-
tent and will add greatly to the pros
peritv of the place Pawlet village
which, for a hundred years, has been
the S'Paris" of the town, will have to be-
stir itself or her sceptre viii depart and
/ her prestige be. lost; Soon or late the
I railroads are sure. to draw the business
/ of the. country and outside villages, un-
| less reinforced by manufactures, are
( pretty sure. to go down. ..ss..-.
This is probably the greatest mart.
| for potatoes on the line of the road from
/ Rutland to Troy, and the business has
| fallen into the hands of prudent men,
1 who do not run reckless risks, but who
/ are always ready with the cash to.aecom-
T modate their customers. The new store
/ referred to is being erected by Nelson
I & Rising, an enterprising firm who now
/ control the entire water power of the
/ place.
The meat market of the place is con-
1 tro1ed by A. E. Pinney, who, instead of
! supplying bis customers with dry COWS
] and grass-fed cattle through the sum

/ car load Western corn fed oxen, which
/. he sells at q lower price than his COM
:I-petitors do their coFn-fed cattle. -H.
We have received word that Oar
win B. HAlert, Esq, an estimable citi-

the Baptist Sunday school held q corn
festival at Hammond hall, which was
well attended. About three hundred
and fifty took supper, and the occasion
was an enjoyable one The food CON
sisted principally of corn, prepared in
about as many ways as the Uranium OF
the ladies could suggest. The tables
were tastefully decorated, and arches OF
evergreen displayed bible mottos OF
h8Fgests. The exercises consisted 0t
prayer, singing, defamation and tab.
leaax. About IL o'clock the large com
pany dispersed, pretty well corned OF
I the brain and in the stomach, to say
nothing of the feet, and consequently If
q pleasant mood. Great praise is due
!, the ladies who contributed so largely tC
its success. -. is1sa.- ~.
