The town is rich in granite quarries. The great Flynt quarry presents a scene worth visiting. Viewed from distance it reminds one of the ruins of an ancient, ex- cavated city. A hundred men are at work there. Many of the large cities of the country are proud of this granite as it stands wrought in their public buildings, monuments, fountains, abutments and manifold other forms. To it what debt do the soldiers of the grand army owe !! Brass and iron will corrode and rust away. but their names carved on the cold, gray stone will last like the history of their deeds through the ages to come. The town is lavish in the use of this splendid material, and it may well boast that no other town excels it in the massive beauty of its public buildings, monuments and fountains.

AN UNpUBL1sHED LINCOLN LETTER

AN UNPUBLISHED LINCOLN LETTER - The following passage from the Century
 ''Lincoln Life" for May, contains letter
 by MT. Lincoln, written in 1861, and hith- erto unpublished:
 -"For the moment the leading unionists of Maryland deemed their true rule one of patience and conciliation.z In this spirit Reverdy Johnson, lawyer and statesman of fame and influence both at home and abroad, came to Lincoln upon the stereo- typed errand to obtain some assurance in writing that he meditated no invasion or subjugation of the south to which the president confidentially replied
 "'I forebore to answer yours of the 22d because of my aversion (which thought you understood) to getting on paper and furnishing new grounds for misunderstood ing. do say the sole purpose of bringing troops here is to defend this capital. do say have no purpose to invade Virginia with them or any other troops, as under stand the word invasion. But suppose Virginia sends her troops, or admits oth- CTS through her borders, to assail this capital, am not to repel them even to the crossing of the Potomac, if can ? Sup pose Virginia erects, or permits to be erected, batteries on the opposite shore to lombard the city, are we to stand still and see it done ? In a word, if Virginia strikes us, are we not to strike back, and as ef- fectively as we can ? Again, are we not to hold to Fort Monroe (for instance), if we can I have no objection to declare a thousand times that have no purpose to invade Virginia or any other state, but I do not mean to let them invade us without striking back"
 "Mr. Johnson replied, thanking the president for his frankness, and indorslng his policy. In @ word, said he, 'all your note suggests would be my purpose were intrusted with your high office.' He also promised that the presidents note should 'be held perfectly confidential But it ap- pears that Mir. Johnson chose his conf- dents with very poor judgment, for within four days it's substance was written from Washington direct to Jefferson Davis"

-Arbor day was observed at the first district school in place of the regular ses- sion. Special credit is due the children in the parts rendered by them in singing, compositions, recitatioDs and declamations. The school grounds are very much i'm proved fifteen thrifty looking naples were planted, also Miss Eva R. Tifft, teacher, set beautiful snow-ball. Much credit is due MT. Witherell and MT. Up- hams family for services rendered. It is hoped the plan this year will inaugurate an annual observance of arbor day in all the school districts. We also notice that R. R. Horton has beautified his grounds by the planting of maple trees.
 The roads, which have been almost impossible in some places, are now very much improved. The surveyor in Dist. No. has nearly completed the repairing in that section. It would be well if others would go and do likewise.
 Some of the farmers are busy plough ing and preparing the gronnd for planting. . Delegates to the state convention M. P. J. Walker. Geo. D. Colburn, M. H. Kinney, A. E. Weld.

THE DRUMMER BOY.

Last night was the initial performance
of the Drummer Boy of Shiloh given at
the Garfield under the management of Mr.
A. F. Nail, assisted by local talent. The
worthy cause for which the entertainment
was given, for the relief fund of the Post.
naturally attracted a good sized crowd
The drama has for its scene the late war,
and the story has to do with the enlist
ment of more, their stPug
giles on the field of battle, prevatious
and suffering in southern prison and
and finally their triumphant return to
home and Friends. There were stirring
scenes of battle and beautiful symbolic
tableaux.
Mr. Nail, as Uncle "Joe," made quite
hit with his many pleasantries; Jesse
Ask, as Fatty Smith too, was very good
The ladies of the cast sustained well their
di fferent characters; Mother Howard. by
Miss Laura Woodcock, Mrs. Mart How
ard, Miss Ada McVicar; Jennie Howard,
Miss Kate Murdoch; Mrs Rutlidge. Miss
Mile Sapppenfeld. In the tableau Miss
Maud Struttle made beautiful Goddess
of Liberty. The recitation, Pride of Bat
terry B, " was well recited by Miss Matte,
daughter of Captain Crosson. The song
of Miss Murdoch in the last act was so
favorably received that an encore was
given. There were some imperfections of
production last night naturally incidental
to first performance. These, it is
thought, will be remedied tonight and the
and the play be given much better.

ABOUT HOSE STATIONS.

Councilman r. V. Healy said yesterday
concerning the fire department in this city
that three or four hose stations should be
placed in the suburbs of the city where
they with the present equipped depart
ment could serve the city best. He thought
the city should buy lot in each place and
erect building giving suitable protection
TO the apparatus, and station one or two
men there to respond to calls. The sta
tions should be taken in by the fire circuit
and alarmed in common with other sta
tions. BY placing the stations on the su-
burbs they would mainly be called 10 the
center of the city and meet the present
companies.
1t is thought that ere long the matter
will be introduced to the city council for
consideration.
