BERKSHIRE COUNTY.

The songs ofthe strangely gifted little sis ter poetesses of Sky Farm, have just been pub lished in a very pleasing form. The face of each, as represented by the etching executed by J. I. Pease of Twin Lakes, is poetic in char acter, and in the younger especially an eIpres- sion of intense listening-a fine frenzy indeed, as if her ear had suddenly caught the sound of the whole of Natures harmonies and start ling surprises, and it Is in just this fellowship with Nature that the wonder of their poetry lies.-Their susceptibility of impression, to- gether with the power of delineation. Doubt less most of us observe and love and watch for aspects of beauty which Nature in various forms presents. We delight in the rapid or graceful motions which characterize our birds, but the power to delineate this as with pain ter's pencil is singularly theirs as of the barn swallow in the poem of "The Loft :"
 "And tho dusky swallows soar
 High above the broken floor,
 Lightly poiee on tiny feet.
 Culver, dip and dart away"
 They revel gleefully with the rIotous, roaring winds of winter at Sky Farm, and when sullen March tediously fingers, delaying departure, or worse, seats himself in the lap of Winter" they become subjective in tone, and offer
  until with joyous bound aud an almost scream of delight they hail the wind-hower-thea arbu- tus-and break forth
 "Sing, O. sing To the Spring. These and more did April bring" Pure and simply sweet as the Bard of Avon's' "The birds they do sing, Hey ding ding ding. Sweet lovers love the Spring." Very graphic in delineation is the poem, "Twin I r hrnvn sent at rest or in tumult, at morning, noon or night, is transmitted to our minds with all the sweet fidelity of love.
 It is not easy to exhaust their list of merits. They do not come to us craving our forbesr- anoe, begging us to considr their youth. They fairly challenge the attention and admir- ation of ell lovers of poetry and eur's especial ly, because they have derived their inspiratio | so greatly from our own dear hills snd vales, | and waters,-from Housatonic's windings, soft and sweet amid the resting places of many . one who, with us have loved it's changeful beauty well.

S&RbhSOuEys-
 A large surprise party, or what may be termed house warming, wss held Tues day evening. Nov. 18th, at the new home of Mir. Marvin Reed of Lakeville. The house is one of the finest in this vicinity, the location somewhat elevated command ing pleasing prospect, the style modern and convenient, the whole. being of supe- rlor finish. The evening was exceedingly dark, and some of our village people found it rather too dark for safety in driving; as Mir. and Mrs. Daniel Pratt were passing through the place, and nearly opposite MT. Henry Hubbsrd's, a gentleman coming in an opposite direction, each unseen by the other. colided. capsizing the one and com pletely demorolizing the carriage. MT. Prstt's vehicle sustained slight injuries, but was disabled for further service that night. Neither party were injured beyond good scare, but not SO fortunate was Mrs. pr. Knight, who was returning with the Dr. from the gathering. Having reached near ly their own gateway, met with similar collision with Mir. Bostwick's coachman, who was driving from Mir. Burralls yard |. Mrs. K. was thrown from the carriage, sprsining her ankle and fracturing one bone above the ankle ioiut...... Tinman Cutting has beer confined to the house the past week with an attack of pleurisy, but is re- covering, and will doubtless be in his shop l again soon.

Silver Deposits Permanent.

In his treatise on silver mines Fuller says: Wherever in any part of the world, silver mines have been worked, they are worked now unless from War, invasions of Indi- ans, etc. We know of no silver mining region in the world that has given out. Mexican mines, worked by the Aztecs before the contest by COrtez, are still worked as proftably as ever. The old Spanish mines opened before Hannibals time, are still worked with enormous profits. The South American mines have constantly yielded their wealth for more than 300 years, and are as productive as ever. Mines in Hnn- gary that were worked by the Ro- mans long before the Savior's time, are still worked with profit. The silver mines of Frieburg, opened in the 11th century, still yield their increase. So in Norway, Sweden and Russia, and indeed wherever silver mines have been opened, they continue to be worked at the pres ent, and are more productive"

Recent statements from Camp Thomas in reference 10 the killing of Montgomery at Jones saloon, gives a different coloring to the cluse that led to the homicide. and more favorable to the boys in blue. The statement is that, Montgomery had proclaimed himself cock of the walk that he was decidedly on it. The striking on the head and knock ing down of the soldiers q night or two previous to the killing was re- garded as a verifcation that he really believed himself the gallina- ceous fowl he represented himself to be.
 We hope in the near future to be able to record the facts of the la- mentable occurrence. Human life should never be taken unless under circumstances that renders killing absolutely necessary and in selEde- cnse.-(Globc City) Bell.

History Of the sutro Tunnel.

Ground was broken for the Su- tro Tunnel. October 8, 1869. The work has therefore required eight years, eight months and ten days to complete it. The progress was very slow aC first, all drilling having been done by hand, but in 1874, experiments with the Burleigh drill demonstrated the advantages to be derived from the use of that ma chine, q carriage capable of carry ing siA of those drills while at work was made, and on June p, 1871, four were started, and on August ', two more drills were put at work. From that date the average progress was over 300 feet per month, up to April, 1877, when the header having entered the belt, the heat became so intense that two drills had to be taken off the carriage. From that time it did not exceed 25O feet. Work has been continued uminterruptedly from the time ground was broken until to day, but at times only two men were at work. The greatest progress was in December, 1875, when the header was advanced 4I7 feet, and the least in October, 1870 when it reached only 19 feet. The total length of the tunnel is 2O,I73 feet. The tunnel has cost over S4,OOO,OOO.
