Marseilles, the Pyrenees, the West,
and from Jura. The great works Of
Louvre, the Tuilleries, and the New
Opera House have brought the en-

luxurious habitations into general
favour. Working in marble is.di-

The art Of ornamental sculpture en-
ploys a comparatively large staff Of
artists and workmen. Thus, the
models executed in potter's clay are
cast by the 1noulder, and the orna-

great sights Of the Exhibition, and
comes prominently before the notice
of American tourists because it is
close to the American refreshment
department.. Solid petroleum is a.

makes his way towards the trophy
he comes upon a great gilded mass
raised in the air, apparently with
out any sufficient means Of support
which, nevertheless, testifes to the
riches Of Canada, by an inscription
setting out that it represents in

ELEVATOR IN TROCADERO.
1From our regular correspondent
PARIS, July Goth, 1878.
In spite of the tropical heat Of the
past week, the number of visitors to
The Exhibition has not materially
diminished; and yet is intolerably
hot in the galleries Of the Champ de
Mars, and the sun burns down mer-
eilessly on the proneneurs out Of
doors. Still there are shady hooks
here and there. IF there is the least
breeze stirring, it is to be felt on the
Trocadero terraces, where the flow
ers and grass are kept fresh by asys-
tenn of incessant watering, and where
the fountains and cascade help to
cool the air.
Since it has been found impos-
sible to install military band in
the Exhibition grounds, several Of
the restaurants have set up music Of
their own. One band plays at the
British bar, and another at the Span
ish cafe. Several small buff.
fets for the sale Of cakes and iced
drinks are newly opened, and the
visitors, including ladies and child
rem, are now well supplied in this re-
spect; they may also buy Turkish
sweatmeats, Algeriankfruit, Russian
kumes, English buns, Partisan gauf-
fres, and Persian scraps in various
places.

and Tuileries. The public is to be
permitted to make ascents next week,
the price being fixed for 20 fir. each
person. In the meantime the bal
loon has been up twice, to height
of 1900 feet; the second time Mine
Goddard and Mine Dartou were Of
the party.
The exciting moment for the
exhibitors is arrived, the jurors are
finishing their work, and the ques.
ton Of prizes and especially Of the
grand prizes Of honor, is burning
one. Of course nobody knows any
thing OF what is going on i'll the
jury room, nor in the jurymen's
breast; but there are certain rumors
and some not Of a pleasant kind.
These do not however refer to any
ofthe American exhibitors. Yester-
day some very interesting expert
ments, with the telephone and phono-
graph combined were made in the
Geographic section. before the jury.
The mouths Of the two instruments
were placed together, and the words
engraved uponlthe photographic cyl
inders were soon heard distinctly in
the telephone reception room at Yer
sailles, and vice gers0. After this
the lnterloentor at Versailles sang
al original song through the tele-
phone which was taken down IN the
phonograph at the CHAMP dc Mars,
and it was sung and repeated by this
Instrument, amidst general applause.
these are among the first expert
ments which have been made with
the two instruments together, and it
IS evident that they may be very

AS the express train from Montpelier
was approaching Wells River at high
rate of speed, Monday, in turning a
sharp curve it ran into and killed five
cows the property of Jack Miller. Al
though much bedaubed, the loss of a
flag staff was the only damage to the
engine. 1t is thought the railroad COM

fence was down and the cattle got on
the track in that way.
Charles Miller and family have gone

Farmers report potatoes generally
scarce, and prices have advanced to rs
cents, while producers are slow to take
advantage of even that figure, hoping

''gilt edge" is not to be got, as all is
sent to down country markets and OBJ

There is another song from the n. o.
Minstrels this week or rather the old
piece has been encored, and we repro
duce it with some change of scenery.
1t seems that after they frightened Mr..
Ide's horse by their street parade, the
manager, Baird, called at Mr.. Ide's of
flee and admitted their liability, and
said they should settle for damage in

nothing further was heard from them,
on Monday the manager was waited
upon at the hotel, when he produced a
written license to play in the streets,
signed by Loami Flint. Mr.. Ide told
him that would be all right if authoriz-
ed by the selectmen, and so Manager
Baird said he would go and see select
man Higgins and theu come and sec
him again. Later in the day messen-
ger called Oh Mr.. Ide and told him that
Mr.. Baird found himself late for the
train, and so did not return as prom

this looked like evading the main ques-

Mr.. George Brainerd has sold his
place in this village to DR.. Woodward !;
possession given in few days. Mr..
Braineru intends to go to Newbury to
live.
Arrangements are being made to run
a daily stage between this village and
st. JOhnsbury to connect with the Pas
sumpsic mail train. AS the P. g. O..
trains run at present the people are not
accommodated with daily a mail from
Boston and other points south, so they
propose to remedy it by resorting to
the old stage system.
James Lawrence, now in the employ
of w. G.. Bartlett of Danville, was
brought before Justice Cook, on the 9TH
inst, on the charge of shooting Samuel
Burneau of Walden but the proceed
ings resulted in dismissal of the case.
1t seems that Lawrence and Burneau
have been some sort of cronies, and
both take more of the ardent than is
conducive to sobriety. Sunday, the 9th
inst, Buneau rode down to Bartlett's
and took in Lawrence for ride. They
went into the borders of Cabot and
stopped ut Mr.. Durgin's, where they
got something to drink they then
drove to NOyesville, where Burneau
lives. Not having enough of good
Durgin, after which Burneau drove
Lawrence home. This would seem ia
have ended the pilgrimage; but Law
renee, after few minutes stop jumped
into the wagon again, and they agreed
to go back to Durgin's. After being in
the house Il few minutes, Lawrence
went out and got into the wagon. Soon
his companion followed and seeing he
did not look quite right, inquired if he
ed motiOnless and stiff. Whereupon
Burneau with the assistance of Mr.. and
Mrs. Durgin, took him out of the wagon
and carried him into the barn. His
| coat and boots were removed, body
rubbed, and drinks administered to
him. He revived, and they went into
the house to await further GONZALES
cence. On their temperance he was
found lying somewhat on his side, with
his revolver drawn to fire. Mrs. Dur
gin in her terror cried out, "Take care,
Burneau, he is going to shoot you p
He Immediately seized Lawrence with
one hand, and us he was raising the
other, the revolver went off, the ball
passing through his hand. Mrs. Dur
gin exclaimed, "Why, you have shot
Mr.. Burneau." Lawrence says, 81 in
tended to give it to him." A short
scuff1e followed in Burneau's attempt to
get the revolver from him. When the
excitement had cooled down little,
Burneau went into the house and had
his hand dressed, then drove home,
leaving Lawrence in the barn where he
stayed all night. Such was the result
of the Sundays excursion, and rum the
cause of it.-Erpress.

Rev. Moses Martin, son of the late
Dea. Moses Martin, from Wisconsin, is
in town visiting at his old home and
breaches occasionally in very accepta-
BILE manner.
Mr.. Ashbel Martin owns and lives
on the Gen. VIM. Chamberlin farm,
west of the Corner about mile, which
is the best farm i'll town. He has the
buildings in the best shape, carries on
the farm in the best manner. He is
now smoothing and ditching about six
acres of land, and when done his farm
will be all smooth, and pleasure to
look upon. He has lived there twenty
years. His farm shows what energy
and good farming will do and what is
the best remedy for hard times among
farmers.
The selectmen have began a good
work in putting up strong ratings in
quite a number of dangerous places on
the roadside. We hope they will not
cease until they fix the places on the
road from Dougald Stewards to South
Peacham. The costs of one law suit
on account of defects in the highway
will pay for the whole cost of fixing
such places in town, to say nothing OF
the awards of damages. A stitch in
time saves nine.

not possibly go if they were obliged to
pay full fare, but now they can nearly
all go, and while there, feel that they
can shop very extensively. A silk
dress, a nice suit of clothes, or even a
gold watch and chain, can now be af-
fordcd, because the tickets are only hall
