FAiRHAvES.
There Is, perhaps, now q more cheerful
outlook for business in the western part of
the county than has been for several years.
Many producers in this vicinity are hoping
that the freight question will soon be set
tied in their favor and that the tariff will |
be so modified that it will permit larger
shipments of slate, besides several celebrat-
ed architects in the country have lately ad.
vised the use Of slate for wainscoting and |
cashier for pannels in counters, and its more |
general use for caps in building. One of |
the mills here is now engaged in putting in
q gang TO saw the slate for this purpose.
As the deposits may be said to be mex
hausible, it makes little difference what
use safe is put to, we have enough to meet
the demand. Slate can be used in nearly
every place that wood is now used, and as
the architects examine the subject more
they will advise its use for many purposes
when the architects advise its use builders
will have it. 1t will ere long be used Tor
mop boards, window castings. Slate mar.
bleized in pannels for waiDscotting would
be very handsome and durable, and when
once placed in position, it would never
need paint As consumption increases so
will the demand increase, until, ere long,
there will be a ready sale for Our pro-
duets at living prices.
We have considerable pneumonia here.
Not much of it however assumes the iy-
phoid form.
We are very well off for life insurance
agents here before the snow was so deep.
+. G.. Mason used to show lis his smiling
face quite often G.. H. Granger is often
here looking as solemn as the next day
after Thanksgiving, and now we have the
general office of the Mutual Benefit Life
insurance company here, with Mr.. n. w.
Batcheder, general agent. II any man
dies before his time or fails to leave for
tune to his family, it will be his own error.
Saturday we had another snow storm,
and as much fell as the sun had melted
since the last fall. From present appear
ances we shall have good sleighiug for
July 4lh.
Our citizens are well pleased at the nom
ination for county commissioner Of j..
Howard Kellogg, Esq. of Benson, as he is
just the man for the position, being always
governed by reason, not excitement.

A pet family horse belonging TO Arnold
Hill, of the firm of A. Hill s. Son, while
being driven before a cutter through our
Streets near the store, on Monday night
about six o'clock, by Master Fred Hill, his
father being seated with him, in coming
around the corner encountered an OK team
standing in the roadway, which caused
Fred to turn to much from the road and by
getting on to a snow bank the cutter over
turned, by which the horse became fright.
encd and ran off, dragging the cutter after
him. He sprang upon the stoop of Nance's
hotel which he soon cleared by
jumping off the stone work on the west
front of the house. which is about three
feet high. entirely clearing the Sidewalk
and thence proceeded to shed, in the real
of the store, where he was accustomed &c
stand through the day when not in use. II
was soon discovered that the horse was
badly injured. examination showing that
the hind leg was so badly broken at tue
fetlock as to make all efforts for Its even
tual recovery useless, and, as 1t was also
believed that he was suffering from in.
ternal injuries, it was thought more merc
full to kill him. Mr.. Hill and his son es
capped without injury.
There no signs whatever of small-po,
among us, notwithstanding reports have
been circulated to the contrary by over
frightened persons who catch at the slight
est indications of ordinary indispostion ant
magnify them into rumors of actual cases
Diigent inquiry does not reveal a singh
case. nor symptoms even, among thos
most and longest exposed. MIR. jaime
Shedd of Burlington, uncle to Bragg, tn
infected person at the social gathering, wa
in town and told the writer that Bragg ha'
recovered and returned to his work. from
which we infer that this must have been a,
exceedingly light attack. c.
