In addition 20 improvements in and
around the hosiery, he finds it necessary
10 make an extension TO his stables in the
shape of a commOdious barn. The WISH
tors who "most do congregate" at his
establishment are from Boston and New
York. \ happy, contcntcd expression
CLEANS upon the faces OF those whose
privilege il is to stretch their pedals under
his mahogany. Not to be invidious, /
may safely assert the meaning implied in
"'Tis well' is equally apparent when
used in reference to others who Stipulate
TO scare for the stranger" seeking for a
temporary respite from the turmoil of
business. Indeed to eyes that are bent
down most of the year upon some weary
task, and whose vision Is continually
bounded by brick and stone walls there is
something wonderfully rcjuyenating in
the eXpanse and freshness Of a trip to the
country.
Gates's, name among tourists "famil-
lar as household words" Ga place from
which superbly fine views of the loftier
elevations are obtainable), is heavily ten
anted. "Henry" has improved each shin
ing hour-and many that were not-in
remodeling, enlarging, etc. His efforts
to meet his compaBy's requirements are
not unappreciated.
The Philbrook establishment exhibits
no perceptible droop.
Although a twenty-years resident of
| Shelburnc, | refrain from any undue laud-
alton of the town, its scenery and attrac-
tions, nor do l care to too infinitely de-
scribe the quality of that connecting link
between the animal and vegetable king
doms-haSh. Having 10 private interests
at stake but that are as remote as the
resumption of specie payments, simply
gossip good-naturedly about things as
seen from my Uie,g Those who come
here are most competent to build their
own opinions; to those who expect to
derive pecuniary benefit | simply repeat
my advice,-use liberal amount of print
er's ink, and you will assuredly find it as
"Bread cast upon the waters;" it works,
too, like t1gO charms.
The farm recently owned by the late
Jonas Green has been disposed of for |
believe, 50 800, to one Cofiin,-an omi-
nous name to attach to a really energetic
man. Distant be the day when he will
REQUIRE the real article.
A Mr.. Noycs Ga prominent Boston law
yer, and very intimate friend of Col.
Il. |. Burbank's), has leased for a term of
years, the Lyman Green stand, owned by
! Col. Burbank, and intends using it as a
cottage or summer residence. A tower,
piazza, new windows, paper, paint, "an'
the like O that" are few Of the transfer
nations. When completed it will give
him not only q tasty agreeable residence,
but architecturally viewed is q beneflcent
Improvement in q locality which Mr..
Burbank has already made highly attrac-
tive by Il judicious but munifcent expen-
diture upon his ancestral home. Let us
feryently hope that others seeing their
good works may be induced to follow
suit. Example is highly contagious. Be
lieve me, there is a transcendent power
in it; we reform Others unconsciously
when we meander perpeudicularly. En-
amples never die. Keep on gentlemen,
who can tell but that some Of those hay
ing the means as well as the disposition
may yet be induced to remove to some
"shady nook by the ripping brook, " that
unSightlY old ark, the Shelburne mccting-
house, replacing the crazy old structure
by one which will not read to every pass
er-by-Dec0dcAcc. SO mote it be. Or,
as the corporation sadly needs Il place in
which to transact town business, remodel,
reSerying Onc-third for that, and the re-
maindCr for meeting-h )uSe purposes,
with a separate entrance to each. Happy
nception-millions in it; who speaks
for tablet upon which shall be inscrib-
ed-"Erected, &C.
Hay fever is very prevalent among our
farmers, and they enjoy it where the cut
Of grass is abnormally heavy.
General Health is here, and as usual
meets with genial reception, filling, as
he does, every doorway with his athletic
figure, and from his superiority of life and
strength seeming to shed down Temporal

wished to have inserted some "Weath-
geological" minutes, but | suspect have
