Time OF game hour IS minutes.
The umpire was not very well ex-
perienced in the business, and it was
thought by the Proctorsvile boys that he
favored the Chesters some.
The Proctorsvilc boys return many
thanks to the proprietors of the Chester
House for the kind treatment they re-
ceived during their stay.
MiDDfEBURY.
A company Of individuals has been
formed having an abundance of capital, and
are erecting II building of n very novel
construction upon the south end of the de-
pot grounds. 1t Is the brain work of DR..
Blanchard and is truly wonderful inyen-
ton. 1t is designed to he portable build
ing, easily taken down and easily put up.
The binding now in course OF erection is
60 feet long by "a vide aud is put together
in sections with bolts and screws. The
outsidcs are composed of pine one inch
thick, matched, and lined with tarred paper,
The inside is lined with half inch pine
matched, and put in cl0sswisc with screws,
making wall imperviuus To cold OF wet.
These sections are ten feet wide, au are
so constructed as to match perfectly. The
floor is made of inch and IL half pine plank
and are lined In the same manner hs the
sides. This is put down in sections also.
The ceiling overhead and the is
the same. The frame is put together with
bolts and ironrods and is susceptible of
sustaining immense weight. This j. ne
cessary, as they contemplate setting up and
running heavy machinery in the
building. a strong steam engine is
to be placed in the building, and
the wheels will begin to buzz Ibis COM
pany is to put in all their own patents,
machinery, which is considerable, and add
all other machines that are truly meritori-
Gus, so that when the steam is applied the
ability of each machine can be tested by
occular demonstration, it will form Il rare
exhibition of the inventive mind. We
have no doubt that in a short time it will
bc as it is intended the great mart for the
exhibition, purchase and sale in this
country. DR.. Blanchard the leading spirit
in this enterprise has obtained 23 patents
upon machines and articles of his own in
vention, and of course will be an excellent
Judge of the utility of other machines that
may be offered for exhibition. The build
ing as we said before can be taken down in
sections in very short time and put upon
the cars and he transported any distance
and be put up as easily, it will form kind
of worlds fair
Much credit is due to the taste in which
MIR. Abram Williamson has repaired his
house on Seymour street. He has thor
oughly overhauled the house and moved
the barns and shed, and put everything in
the most thorough repair. so as to make it
one of the most desirable places in town.
There seems to he general desire this
year to attend camp meeting. We are in
formed that five or six new houses have
been erected this season. Middlebury has
erected one for the accommodation of its
campers. We said last year that we were
pleased with the substitution OF a good bed
for a hole in the straw, and still think 1t
more human. Everybody is going, and
we hope much good will be done. The
committee have arranged everything so
that people can 90 there and have their
teams put in safe places and be fed. Mr..
A. Williamson has charge of the eating
house as before, so that no one need 60
begging or hungry.
Since the district convention things have
been rather quiet. The farmers have been
busiy engaged finishing up their haying.
The hay crop has been larger than usual
and the weather rather catching. but with
all the modern machinery haylng is nothing
but pastime, much easier than boat racing
or base ball playing, and more profitable.
BY the way, who ever heard of lot of
young men associating themselves together
and each buying new wood saw, saying
nothing about red caps and fancy shirts,
and pitching into a wOod-pile to see
who could saw cord of wood
the quickest? We don't see them.
Who ever saw a dozen or
two young men get together in one of
your quarries, with red caps upon their
heads. and with sledges and drills attempt
to excel as many other young men in max
ing holes in the ledge? Nobody The
boat racers work themselves unto death
sometimes, and all they get for il is the
caresses of some fast young ladies and the
shouts Of an excited crowd of pleasure
seeking brandy suckers who stand on the
shore and "Hurrah for our side !"
Let man trial his horse rs severely in
blowing or moving as he does at one of
our fairs where running or trotting is prac-
ticed and he would be arrested under the
people with accord would cry, They
served him right. - We are aware that
the above sentiments are not popular, but
they are correct, nevertheless The truth
is, an industrious, honest young man, with
hard hand and begrimmed face, is not hal If
as much of lion in an excited crowd as
an indolent, lisping, lady.fngered,
fellow who has sprained his thumb or gets
his eye blackened by one of those marble
like balls used nowadays. But hold on ;
somebody will be hit, and the subscriber
will have to suffer.
by the way, our county fair has been re-
vived, and by those most interested in its
success. The farmers have taken hold of
it now, and we think it will 20. Hereto
fore the farmers seemed to look at it as n
kind of village speculation, but they will
find that they never were more mistaken in
their lives The village people, except
perhaps the hotcl-keepers, spend a good
deal of their time and money to make the
fairs attractive, and have no possible way
of getting it back. They generally look
at it in the light that what benefits others
may benefit them. We notice that they
have good officers and good committees,
which will insure success. They have en-
gagged the Mlddlebury cornet band to be in
attendance. III Is To be held September 2,
8 and 4. Rev. w. II, II. Murray delivers
the address.
We notice that petition is circulating
about town for signatures, praying that
the railroad company may proceed to erect
the new passenger depot and finish
grading up the grounds about
the new freight depot, so that
unsuspecting honest teamsters will not be
led into pitfalls and quagmires any longer.
AS the matter Is now, everything about
both places has forsaken and forbidden
look unlike the good taste and enterprise
of the Central Vermont railroad.
We notice that w. s. Alden has pur-
chased the entire interest in the book store
heretofore carried on by Alden & Co.
Those who deal with him will find him un.
right and honorable. His hair is little
shorter than the fashion would indicate
owing to severe Illness" but his head is
level
