brought from the Addison county quarry
Is of first quality, and the character of the
blocks which have used is perfectly sat

ity. Its grain or texture is rs fine as is
desirable and much resembles the 'Pentelic'
marble. In conclusion let me say that is
the only marble, native or foreign, that |
should be willing to place out of doors in
our climate"
The Vermont marble is cassed as white
or veined. The West Rutland is the most
reliable and most sought white marble.
They produce very little which they grade
as statuary, and sell as high as twelve dol
lars per cubic foot. These quarries also
produce veined marble.
The Sutherland Falls has the best rep
utation among the dealers of any veined
marble, as it is sound, takes a high polish.
and does not tarnish by exposure. The
best Sutherland Falls resembles the hand
soonest coored Italian marble, and sells
for six dollars cubic foot. Other quar-
ries sell much cheaper until they make a
name.
The Columbian produces some almost
black marble, very handsome and in good
demand.
The Central Vermont promises to be a
formidable rival of the Sutherland Falls
which it much resembles.
Besides these quarries of established rep
utation, there are many others that do
fir business, and countless "wildcat"
openings that are dead loss. Indeed,
there seem to be periodic returns of the
| fever,when every man who owns limestone
ledge anywhere near the marble vein has
half dozen men out blasting in it while he
himself is running excitedly about with his
pockets full of specimens" trying to or
ganize stock company. He generally
succeeds, as the fever is contagious, and
every man, no matter what his business
may be, seems to think himself comae-

The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best,
Pastor OF the M. Il. church, Natick. Mass, will
be read with interest by many physicians; also
those suffering from the same disease as
afiicted the son OF the Rev. L. s. Best. No
person can doubt this testimony, ms there is no
doubt about the curative power OF VEGETINE.
NATIcK, MASS. Jan. 1st., 1873
MIR. ii. X. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETlNE a medicine OF the greatest
value. We feel assured that Il has been the
means OF saving our sons life. He is now
seventeen years OF age; for the last Two years
he has suffered from necrosis OF his leg, caused
by scrofulouS anectiOn, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his recOv-
cry impossible council OF able physicians
could give us but the faintest hope OF his ever
rallytng; two OF the number declaring that he
was beyond the reach OF human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had
not vigor enough TO endure the operation. Just
then we commenced giving him VEGETINE,
and from that time TO the present he has been
continuously improving. He has lately re-
sumed studies. thrown away his crutches ana
cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have
the fullest confidence that In a little time he
will be perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of
VEGETINE but lately uses but little, as he de-
cures he Is too well 20 be takiHg medicine.
Respectfully yours,
marl3d&wlm MRS. l.. @. II. BEST.

Capt. John r. Thompson, formerly of
ST. Johnsbury, and of the ambulance corps
of the second Vermont brigade, now of the
treasury department, Washington, retired
from the Office of Eminent Commander of
of Columbia Cammandery of Knight Tenn
plar, after a faithful service of two years.
Such is the esteem in which he is held by
his fellow Sir knights that they presented
him with an elegant sword and belt, which
he acknowledged in an eloquent speech and
feeling.
On the second page OF to-day's GLOBE
will be found an account of the singular
death of Prof. Walker from an overdose
of hemock. We learn that the deceased
is no other than the Rev. VIM. +. Walker,
who was the first rector of Christ Church,
but who, after leaving Troy, changed
his name by transposing his given names,
and was thenceforward known as Rev. f.
w. Walker. lie founded an episcopal in
stitute in that city on the site of theIresi-
dencc of Latham Cornell, on Eighth street,
and was assisted III his duties there by Rev.
A. T. living, secretary Of the board of for

great earnestncss, and had some peculiar
ideas which caused trouble among his con-
gregation His son, Rev. VIM. b. Walker,
is at present rector of the Episcopal church
at Schagbticoke, and a promising and tai
ented clergyman. Mr.. Walker was a Free
Mason in high standing, and at one time,
while correspondent of the New York
EzpresS, he fell into the hands of the reb-
els on the peninsula in Maryland, and his
knowledge of Free Masonry saved his life.
Christ Church was organized December 8,
1886, and the members held their first
meetings at the house of Joseph Brough-
ton. Rev. w. +. Walker commenced his
rectorship in November, 1886. He was
instrumental in causing the erection of
Christ church rs it now stands. In his
tory of the church, written by Gould
Rockwell, the following extract occurs:
