ST.. JoHNsBURY, VERMONT Last
week the Fairbanks Scale Company
manufactured over 100 scales. Since
the opening of the year they have run
their factory on orders, and at the pres
ent time they are far behind their orders.
The business so far this year is in excess
of any expectation of the firm, being in
advance of any previous year. 1t is a
fact worthy of note, and highly hatter-
ing to American enterprise, that the
manufactures of this company have
gained such a world wide reputation and
sale. At the Royal Agricultural show,
held few weeks since in Bedford, Eng
land, silver medal offered for articles
in which the judges think there is any
especial merit" was awarded to the Fair
banks hay scale, or, as it is called in
England, the Fairbanks weigh bridge
for carts and wagons" This, coming
from conservative England, in apprecia.
ton Of American manufactures, must be
considered the highest testimonial of the
merit of these scales.-Neao York E!r

LARGE BIRD.-A large bird, at f st
supposed to be an eagle, was discovered,
Tuesday morning, within the railing
which surrounds the dome of the State
House. He had evidently lit there, and
once down, had no room between the
railing and the base of the statue, in
which to expand his wings for flight.
He was caught, by throwing coat over
him, and was chloroformed and killed
by DIR. Cutting, the curator of the State
Cabinet. 1t proved to be large fish
hawk, of kind not at present repre-
