which forms its western border. 1t is quiet
enough to be sure, and reflective observer
will decide at once that its unoblrusiveness
and palpable lack of self consciousness are
the foundation elements of its very appar-
ent thrift and prosperity. Sheep, butter
and cheese of prime qualities have been so
long staple products of the town that they |
have come to be regarded as Il matter of |
course but III point of intelligence and |
universal gO-lheadativeness Orwell is by no |
similar size and population.
The village of Orwell Is centrally located
on elevated ground Its main street runs
east and west, and the dwellings are many
of them costly and elegant structures.
Notwithstanding the hardness of the times
and the consequent general depression, the
places of business are seemingly in full ac-
tivity.
The carriage factory of Mr.. G. Bessette
is one of the most prominent establishments
of the village, and stranger would be
surprised at the exhibition to be met with
in careful survey of the premises In
the various departments may be found car
riages and sleighs in every stage of progress
toward completion. The work is carried
on Systematically, and in no similar estab-
lishment of far wider fame and greater I'M
portance is more care or forcthought eXer-
cised as to the quality of materials used or
better taste displayed, while it would be
impossible to find more competent artisans
than Mr.. j. $. Picor, superintendent of the
paint shop, Mr.. A. L. Demo, at the head
of the wood working department, and Max
Ducliaine, manager of the iron work
The zeal and enthusiasm with which
these gentlemen pursue their vocations is
equalled by their aifahility ard intclli

One of the best country stores this side
of Albany is that kept by f. NJ Wright.
The Orwell hotel continues to add yearly
to its favorable repute under the manage
mcnt of Hon. J. w. Boyington. who is Il
born landlord.
A new millinery establishment has re-
Gently been opened by Miss l.. A. Wort
ley, who comes well recommended, and
whose stock of goods and filing of orders,
thus far, give evidence of good taste and a
conscientious desire TO phase and satisfy
her patrons
The only grist mill in town is owned by
Mr.. ]. G. Silley and operated by R.Smith-
well, who appears to be the right man in
the right place. The mill is a good one
and only lacks steam power to render its
capacity equal to the demands.
We would call attention to the patent
waterproof building paper for lining build
ings, of which A. w. Irving is the agent
, for New England. A thorough eXamina.
ton proves, that for the purpose for which

States. 1t is thoroughly waterproof, strong
as leather, and contains no tar, no telling

Altogether, Orwell is one of the pleas
