PROCTORsYILLE.
The managers of the Rutland rail
road are overhauling and rebuilding their
two bridges here, and, doubtless, will
raise the roofs. We hope so, for since
the completion of the road, in 1849, we
think six persons have been killed by the
low covered bridges between Ludlow and
Chester.
-Ex-Gov. Fletcher and wife have
gone to Saratoga, to make their accus-
toned summer visit.
Hon. Frank NJ Robinson, of Du-
buque, with Instantly, are stopping with
Allen Spaulding, his father-in-law, for a
few weeks.
Samuel w. Spaulding and wife, from
Charleston, Mass, who come up to at
tend the funeral of their relative, Wal
ce,Spear, at Ludlow, are stopping with
Capt. J. c. Spaulding.
Geo. w. Wiley, formerly of Yves
ton, and now superintendent of the Epis-
c0pal Military School at Farribault, with
his wife, have returned on visit, and
with her father, DR.. D. r. Stone, here,
for a few weeks. ......
Parties from Waterford, n. Y. have
been prospecting here for ASbeStOs, de-
sirCus of finding that flexible mineral in
quantities sufficient to warrant the work
ing. 1t has become of value to use in
furnaces, and where an inc0mbgstable
substance is required. A mine, or quar-
ry, Of tuTpentine, owned byA. ID. Hager,
now OF Chicago, on the land of g. j.
Spaulding, shows evidence Of the article,
but whether in large quantities is not
certain. ...--..... ........-
"CaHdoTs" communications from
Middlebury, in the HERALD, have here
tofore spoken OF sermons preached by
different diyines in his vicinity. We
like to read his notes thus written, and
desire, through the columns of the HER
AID, to inform him that he has, in his
branch of the church of Christ, young
clergyman, at present stationed here,
destined, in our opinion, to do great
good ia the cause. Last Sabbath a. m.
he took for his text, from / Kings, II
chapter, I'd verse ''Show theyself
man = and as the speaker warmed in his
subject every eye and ear IN the audi
ence appeared to appreciate his words.
The deacon did not sleep the steward
did not slumber :; the lawyer leaned no
longer on the railing of the pew the
face of the governor grew grave and
gay, by turns, as the eloquent passages
in the discourse fell upon his ears, and
the Judge Joined with the entire assembly
In giving the closest attention to the
teachings from the pulpit. And why
should not the injunction of King David
to his son be obeyed- THAT thou may
est prosper in all that thou doest, and
whitheEsoeyeF thou turnest myself. --

A meeting of the soldiers of this
town was held last evening at Trips
Hotel, Proctorsyille, for the purpose of
effeCting an organization to attend the
reunion at Rutland. The following Of
ficers were elected; Captain, J. Y
Ristric First Lieutenant, Gibson; Sec
ond Lieutenant, Keyser. Though but
few were present it is hoped a large
company may be raised. p.
-Ex-Goy. Fletcher is spending the
summer months at his home He is
seemingly quite improved in health, and
is as pleasant and genial as ever.
We notice quite number of city
boarders at our hotels. -.... ...... r.. -.
Showers have been frequent of late.

There are two cheese factories in
this town in successful operation. The
officers of the East factory are as fol-
lows: President, Marcellns Doyce; di-
rectors, H. H. Young, r. d. Hall, S.
Murray treasurer and secretary, C. E.
Abel. From Mr.. Royce we have the
following statistics of this factory for
the year 1872: Whole number of pounds
of milk received. /, IA, $50 number of
pounds of cheese manufactured, 120,-
1913; net receipts, $1,000; net price
per pound of cheese, 10 cents 8 mills:
net price per pound of milk, / cent 1 8 10
mills. The officers of the West factory
are President, l.. s. Hemenway d.
rectors, w. O. Ray, E. NJ. B0ttum,
Julius Thomas treasurer, r. Y. White;
secretary, S. III. Bascom. Mr.. White
furnishes the following report for 1872:
Whole number pounds of Milk received.
], 730,S82; whole number pounds of
cheese manufactured, 176,15S: net re-
ceipts, $1S, 357.36; net price per pound
of cheese, 10 cents mills; net price per
pound of milk, cent 6-10 mills. I'VE
are of the opinion that the income from
butter and cheese made in this town by
private families is greater than that of
either of its factories, and if a dairy
man has modern conveniences it would
be better for him, in financial point of
view, to manufacture his butter and
cheese at home than to take his milk to
a factory. Mr.. III. T. Cults has demon
strated this fact. In addition to his i'm
provements for butter and cheese max
ing he has lately purchased one of AL
lens patent improved refrigerators.
which is not only convenience but a
necessity for keeping butter in good
salable condition in hot weather.
Mr.. w H. Wheeler has purchased
the interest of Mr.. Engels, Of the firm
of Engels 81 Mercure, Brandon, and ex-
poets to leave here next September. MIR.
Wheeler has been for some time in the
employ of Z. NJ. Wright 81 Co. He is a
young man of excellent business habits
and possesses the confidence of the COM
munity.
MIR. George Wright, member of the
senior class of Middlebury College, win
spend his summer vacation at Block
Island, in company with friends from
Saratoga. Mr.. Wright takes a bigb
position in his class as a scholar. and
wears his senioric dignity in a becoming
manner.
