most of the quarry laborers. The district

Tuesday morning, and all travel now
passes the residence of Henry Lawrence,
Esq. II is nearly fifty years since this bog
road was laid out, through the efforts of
the late John Van Sicklen, IN which he
was streuuou~lN opposed by the town of
Shelburu. The burden of maintaining it
has been an uncrOus and excessive one
upon Shelburn, and but few of its citizens
are benefited by it. Hundreds OF dollars
have been expended upon it in Il single
year and a sum much in excess Of the
regular higWay tax has been required
nearly every year. The commissioners
appointed by Judge Taft, viz, a. V.
Spaldlng and Henry Green of tins city.
and DR.. Small of Winoosk decided that
the road bed must be raised with stone
and gravel and the work is now being
done under the direction of NJ. Qulnlan,
Esq, an energetic and experienced man
ager, he being one of the selectmen of
Shelburn. For the work of good man
and team eight hours II day he pays - 60

that the road will be somewhat rough in
the spring, but with Il good coating of

prove; and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor is
nothing compared with what It was one year

For some reasons New York city would
seem to be the proper refuge of an expires
dent of the United States, but then there
are objections to it OH society considera-
lions. The aristocracy of Washington is
more democratic, 50 to speak. than that OF
New York. The noses in the upper circle
of society at the capital are pointed very
high: yet after all the caste of that city is
an American product-a growth no older,
though possibly more RAPID and certainly
more ephemeral. than the growth Of Amer
lean institutions. An eX-preSdent of the
United States ought to be able
to move in the very highest
notch OF Washington society, without re-
gard TO his antecedents. Not so with New
York. Even the Wander bits and GOulds
with their money cannot cross the awful
circle which describes the snObbish and
melancholy metes and bounds of the
KnlckerbockerS. How much less chance
would man of the people have. If MI
Cleveland'S ancestors. eight or ten genera
tons back, had come over in wooden shoes
carrying their all in canvas sack he
would have better chance in the closed
