IT is agreeable to note the many
new and handsome residences that
are springing up in the Kempton
Addition, north of town. In fact
this favored locality seems to be
monopolizing about all the fine
residences this summer. This ad-
dition was thrown apen but little
over a year ago, at which time it
contained but two houses-that Of
the proprietor and the one erected
by the Comrey brothers several
years ago, and since occupied by
them. The first to avail them
selves of these fine building sites
were Goodman, Ziegler & Co,
Then followed the cosy residence
of L. II. Rudisille, which had hard
ly appeared above thetops of tho
wide spreading cedars until that of
his neighbor, Grove, sprang up in
the background. Early IN the
present season ElPaso parties, with
an eve to the beauties of its lOca-
ton and availability, have become
extensive investors in lots, one
purchaser taking sixteen in a body
and our own citizens have not been
at all backward IN securing sites tor
future houses. Charlie Duford and
Albert Zlegler. within the last ten
days. have each completed their
dwellings and Charlie says he now
has a roof over him that turns the
water outside instead OF IN and
doesn't have to pay rent tor it eth
er, while Albert will probably oc-
cupy his with a hired family until
picnics a furnish more girls than
married women. Other houses are
said to be under contract which will
set the north side ahead.

RESOLUTION

THURSDAY FRIDAY.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1888-07-26
The Lake OF the Dismal Swami.

Ponder on this marvellous fact, says
CORES pondent: Tho Lake of the
Dismal Swamp, in Virginia, three miles
by two and half in extent, aud from
seven to fifteen feet in depth, is situated
on the side, and almost on the top of a
hill, and yet it creates by overflow all
around it for about 1000 square miles,
ono of tho dcnsest and darkest morasses
on the surface of tho earth. In 1868
George Washin gton surveyed the Dismal
Swamp, and discovered that the western
side was much higher than the eastern,
and that rivers ran out OF the swamp,
and not into it. He then wrote that
the swamp was "neither plain nor q
hollow, but hillside" A member Of
the National Geological Survey recently
entered tho Dismal Swamp, proceeding
westward from tho Dismal Swamp canal
toward the lake, and found that the
rise of the land was five and half feet
in seven miles. We met this gentleman,
Mr.. Atkinson, within the bounds of the
swamp, and on hearing his statement
