WEST RANDoLPH.-It takes but short visit to
this place to convince any one that it is one of the
most thrifty and enterprising villages in New
England. The neat and well kept grounds, the
freshly painted houses, and the general air of
comfort which pervades the place are certain in
dications of the prosperity OF its inhabitants The
new brick block just erected by Dubois & Gay
is one OF the finest in the state. II is about
hundred and seventy by fifty feet three stories
high, with "A large basement. The stores are ex-
ceently fitted up, and everything about the
building is elegant, and better yet it is fire-proof
In the second story is very handsome public
hail. capable OF seating eight hundred people, and
so CHEEKY and pleasant as to make a Montpeerite
long for a duplicate of it at home. In the most
accessible corner of the building Mr.. Hutchinson,
the popular postmaster, has fitted up office,
fully equal to any we have ever seen in a place of
its size. He is deserving of great credit for his
enterprise. A new Baptist church is in process
of erection, which promises to be a handsome and
serviceable structure. We learn that real estate
in the village despite the hard times has suffered
but little il any, depreciation in value, which is
certainly good indication that the place is pros
pering. All in ALL West Randolph is an enter
prsing and lourishing village. May it, shadow
never be less
