WEST CLARENDON.
At present there is little of especial
interest Transporting in this place. Since
the boarders have left the ''springs," the
Green Mountain House has been shut
up, and several small houses that have
been occupied by visitors are now closed,
and it seems quite lonely here. The 81
lence of the formerly frequented hills is
unbroken save by the lowing kline and
the bleating f1ocks that roam over them.

We learn from reliable source
that Thomas McGarry, of Rutland, has
negotiated with Isaac McNeal of this
town for the purchase of building lot

road station, on which he intends to
erect a large building to be occupied as
a store and dwelling. tits gratifying to

a location with us, and we hope that many

state will soon gain a foot hold on our
soil.
While other improvements are being
made, the musical talent of our citizens

habitants in the west part of the town
with some very sweet music.
