The prosperous year in the lumber
trade has stimulated this business in
Essex county, and Mr.. l.. d. Hazen has
lately purchased another large tract of
wood land in Victory, and the Fair
banks Co. are negotiating for timber
land in Victory and CRANKY. A branch
railroad has been surveyed from North
Concord some three or four miles up
into the heart of the lumber region,
and will doubtless soon be built, the
landowners grading the road bed and
furnishing the ties, and the St. j. s. l..
c. furnishing the iron. There are
some five or six large lumber concerns
now doing business i'll the town of
Concord, and at one time this fall there
was ii million and half of manufac-
tured lumber at the North Concord
depot awaiting cars for its shipment.

The rain of last Thursday was sue
ceeded during that night by fall of
about four inches of snow, which melt
ed and made the travelling very bad
indeed for the rest of the week. Al
though the outlook under foot was not
pleasant on Friday morning, IA scene
of great beauty was presented over
head. The soft snow, clinging to the
leatiess branches, arrayed the trees in
handsome panoply after Natures pc
culiar and indispensable style of art.
The weight of the snow proved too
great for dead branches, which fell
thickly until relieved of the pressure.
The first snow of the season was a
source of delight to the small boy, and
he was quick to avail himself of the
opportunity for snow-balling.-T The
great weight of the snow may be real
ized from the fact that Il telegraph pole
ut Fairbanks village, carrying sly
wires, was pulled completely over
while telegraph, telephone and fir,
alarm wires in other parts of the vii
lage were broken down.

Book Notices.
Singers will be DESTROYS of looking
over "The Herald of Praise" a new
singing book by L. o. Emerson. This
author has a reputation which war
rants the statement that his last book
is good one and as new books are an
occasional necessity for chOirs, choir
leaders can afford to give this Herald a
careful examination. 1t is published
by the popular house of Oliver DitsOn
g. Co., costs just one dollar, and is for
sale at w. H. Nelson's.
We have received from the Clare
mont Stationary Company a new vol
ume of the "Green Mountain Poets"
just issued by them. This work in
general is well known to the public
and highly priced by them; but this
particular edition is especially desira-
BILE because in it there is given a large
number of the choicest productions of
the late Chas G. Eastman, together
with fine steel engraving of this es-
teemed Vermont poet. The books will
no doubt have large sale, as the ad-
ditions mentioned above make it even
more valuable. 1t can be had of book
sellers generally.
The new Directory for st. Johnsbury
is published. 1t is book of eighty
pages, containing the names, Occupa-
lions and residences of citizens of this
place; distinct street and business di-
rectories with an appendix containing
the town and village governments,
public schools and list of teachers, fire
department. banks, railroads, churches,
societies, etc, etc. The book is neatly
printed and bound, and is something
which every business man especially
ought to have within reach. 1t is of
course not absolutely perfect, and we
never saw directory that was. Some
few names are omitted, and some are
given wrongly. But there is necessa-
rily great difficulty in making perfect
job of it unless good deal of time is
given to verifying the information OBJ
tanned. The publishers give this quo
tation on the title page: 81 cannot tell
how the truth may be, tell the tale as
twas told to me-" For sale at Howard

The grand hall of the National Mu-
scum building, where the inaugural ball
is to be held, will at once be put in readi-
ness for the event. The hall itself
covers over $4,000 square feet, but is
really divided into a dozen or more
smaller halls. divided from each other
by piers or arches. The piers will be
adorned in the main hall with the coat
of arms of the different States and Ter
ritories. Above them, and to which
they will be secured, will be the
coat of arms of the nation. The lat
ter will be draped by National and
State flags. The ceiling will be deco
rated by flower garlands and loops
of national colors. In the centre of the
rotunda, under the dome, there will be
a colossal statue of Liberty. This has
already been erected. The figure holds
in her left hand the American shield; in
the right is a torch, from which will
burn an electric light, the rays of which
will be thrown in every direction. The

of the pedestal to the light in the right
hand is a measurement OF thirty
feet On the eight piers of the
dome surrounding the statue there
will be emblems of industry,
science, painting, architure, scripture,
agriculture, commerce and law. The
galleries and the balconies that surround
the hall will be decorated mainly with
flags and draperies. 1t is expected that
the President and the invited guests will
be in the main hall on the west end OF
the building. That side will be deco
rated with the flags of all nations, sur
mounted by the American eagle-indica-
tive of peace with all nations. The
promenade music will be in the gallery
at the east end of the building. The
grand orchestra of one hundred people
will be placed at the south end of the
building, which has been proportionately
enlarged for that purpose.
