The Central tea company have opened
their new store on Center street, and IRE
now ready for business The store is To-
Gated in Mead g. Nichols new block, and
has been especially fitted up for their use
the fixtures and everything pertaining
thereto having been arranged and adapted
for their business, and is as convenient
and tasty as could be desired. The room
ID light and airy, and with the class of
goods the shelves and counters are loaded
down with, and the particularly attractive
cans that are displayed, one cannot help
being impressed with the idea that none but
addition to their extensive lines of teas and
coffees, the firm have one of the largest
stocks of fine confectionery to be found in
the state, and, also, general assortment
of tobaccos, spices, canned goods, pickles,
etc., and all of the choicest kind.
Charles N. Pike, Rutland's "artist in
,ha IN,
field Massachusetts,, has on exhibition at
the Berkshire county fair u fine collection
of medallions carved from Vermont mar
bic. The Springfield Republican says that
he is now carving the star, or in artistic
phrase the diaper work on the outer course
of the arch over the athen9um doorway
He finds the Barring ton limestone some
what more difficult to cut than marble
The large medallion over the center of the
doorway will probably contain the state
coat of arms, while in the smaller ones on
either side it is suggested that the faces of
Thomas Allen, the donor of the building,
and Phineas Allen, who left the institu.
ton $50, 200, would be the most appropri-
ate carvings. The other medallions will
probably be appropriated to classical sub
jects in keeping with the purposes of the
edfice. 1t is the intention now to have
the carvings all made within year. Mr..
Pike, who viii no doubt be engaged for
the work, made the statue for the soldiers
monument at Chicago. 1t is of heroic
size and of Italian marble. lie made also
the marble medallion of Lincoln which
Edward Learned presented to the atheneum
short time ago.
