to the Warren Drury house and the White
Brothers quarries. Other surveys may likely
be made, wholly in the town of Barre. Now
II this survey :" means business" our place
ought to make great effort, and one worthy
~ ITSELF to get survey to the same granite
district via our own town, and then, If
donation will secure the road, raise it.
- However canny in the art of canning
goods our ex-townsman, Fred l.. Webster
OF Danvers, Mass, may be, there is this that
he can't cam for his own or others use, can
he? We refer to the glores of this month OF
June here in Vermont. Like the "manna"
of old, they I" fall from heaven" and
must be eaten the same day." SO,
with his wife, Mr.. Webster comes this week
to the old home, to take in these June de-
lights in the one only way. And when
were we ever favored here with more beau
tiful days and more of them? - If any
and every citizen owes the state duty It
would seem to be to attend the primary
meetings for the election of delegates to
nominating conventions. Vermonters, with
whatever predictions, want to look well
to these meetings this year. Shall there not
be tuH attendance Of republicans at the
meeting at the town hall on Saturday even
ing of this week, for the election of dele
gates to the state convention at Montpelier
next week? - Not many days ago we
passed the building being prepared for
creamery on the east side of Berlin Pond.
A member of the association told us some
thing OF the plan on which he expected 1t
was to be managed. All persons furnishing
cream are to buy Cooley Dreamer. Some
one from the creamery will be sent each day
| to collect the cream. Attached to the milk
cans of the creamers are gauges for meas
uring the thickness of the cream. The person
| collecting the cream takes, at each call, the
number of degrees indicated by this gauge,
and the owner is credited with the same.
Some one will be hired to attend to the work
of manufacturing the butter at the creamery.
| Our own farmers will doubtless find it prof
table to call at this establishment. The re-
suits of the years work will be watched with
interest outside of Berlin. - We do not
hear complaint of the weather or crop
prospects hereabouts, and conclude our
| people are as well satisfied with the outlook
| as though each was managing mundane
affairs for himself. - The Childrens day
| exercises at the Methodist church next
Sabbath afternoon are pretty sure to be well
attended, and everybody who wishes to at
tend them may be sure of hearty welcome.

whose grand list stands for not less than
$4,000, published in the Rutland Herald of
last week, we find the name of our ex-
townsman, Dr. e. G. Lewis, with a grand
list of nearly twice that amount, and it has
not been made at the expense of "a good
name in that locality, as we happen to
know. - After several seasons at the
