DELIGHTFUL D7ys-The other evenin
we took drive over the new road connectin
Montpelier w-th Barre via the Berlin side
the river. The road is not yet completed
but will require some two weeks labor
make it as feasible and easily travelled ii
entire length as is now the greater portio
Of it. The road, under the careful supel
vision of E. Scribner, Esq, has bee
thoroughly worked. thus far, it is of GOO
width, comparatively smooth, of easy grad
and opens up along its line glimpses of {
charming and picturesque scenery as can
found in this vicinity. 1t must shorten tn
distance between the two points half mil
and We believe tone down even the little ris'
found on the old road to Barre. Whe
fA-s. ed and smoothly settled, it will be or
