into the genial presence of a huckle-gerry,
who had the credit Of being jolly in the pre-
vailng coldness of the day. Mount Wash

hills. The Clerk-he went, he saw, he was
conquered. His eyes have refused to see
anything else since that vision of storm
swept grandeur alternating with sunny
slopes met their view. OF the majestic
beauty of the grand sweeps, taking a down
ward curve from the SUBMITS on either
side of the valley, Wordsworth, Bryant
none of the whole train of natures poets

a long farewell to all his greatness, for he

any extent, the total sum of all he saw.

The Governors Reception.

Governor Ormsbee and wife will hold a
public reception, from eight o'clock to ten
o'clock, at the executive chamber, this
evening and the governor-elect and wife
have kindly consented to receive with them.
No formal invitations have been issued, but
the attendance of members of the general as
sembly, the officials of the state government
and friends outside of official circles, at the
capital and elsewhere, is earnestly desired.
The time for the reception is short, and no
refreshments will be served. In the matter
of dress, individuals will consult their per-
sonal preference and convenience. The
occasion is intended to be as informal as
possible, to afford members an opportunity
to meet the retiring and incoming eXecu-
tives, to become acquainted with each
other. and to allow a large number of old
friends to meet and renew associations of
the past. The affair is intended to be en-
tirely social and unconventional

Improvements at the Capitol.

a visit to the state house yesterday re-
vealed the fact that numerous repairs and
changes have been made in several of the
rooms The work of remodeling the inte-
rior of the capitol. which was begun previous
to the last session, has been continued and
many improvements have been made, par
tiCularly in the executive chamber and the
old library room. Two years ago the new
wing, containing on the lower floor the
courtroom and the judges and lawyers
rooms and on the upper floor the library
and historical rooms, was fitted up for oC-
cupancy. The halls were also gilded and
frescoed in colors. At the last session an
appropriation was made for further repairs.
The chief changes have taken place in the
governors room and the old library, the
latter having been converted into an ele-
CANT reception room. The white walls have
been covered with painting and frescoing
in appropriate colors, windows of stained
glass have been placed in the ceiling, new
gas fixtures have been put in and the room
richly furnished. The colorS of the fresco-
ing, the decorations and the furnishings are
in perfect harmony, and the general effect
is very pleasing. The battle picture, which
has been removed from the annex and
placed to the left of the entrance, is finely
set off by its new surroundings. The old
book-shelves which formerly adorned the
walls have of course been removed, and this
has necessitated the addition of another
tier of racks in the new library room. The
library accommodations, thus enlarged,
will probably prove sufficient for some time
to come. The new historical room next
door to the library apartment has also under
gone few changes. The room has been
fitted up in better style and books put in
The interior of the executive chamber has
been entirely rejuvenated. The ceiling and
walls have been frescoed and decorated in
nearly the same style as the reception room
1t has also been refurnished in a most
sumptuous manner. The plain white walls
of the hall of representatives look rather
tame, it must be confessed when compared
with the deliberately decorated interior of
the governors room. The furniture of the
hall has been recovered and two new seats
have been put in for the accommodation of
the new towns West Rutland and Proctor,
incorporated at the last session. The rooms
of the secretary of state, treasurer and ser
geant-at-arms have all been decorated and
retitted Many other little improvements
" too numerous to mention " have been
made here and there, and the interior of the
capitol has a more cheerful and attractive
appearance than in years gone by. Much
credit is due to Sergeant-at-arms Phinney
for his able and efficient supervision of the
work of repairing, and if the legislature is
not pleased with the result of its appropria-
tion and the general appearance of the in
terror of the remodeled rooms, it will be be-
cause it does not know good thing when it
sees il,

The Clerks Outing.

"It was the night before the excursion
and the clerk made ready for a trip to the
White Mountains. He pulled out the
tooth-pick that had formed the breast-pin
OF his summer fiannels and encompassed
himself with winter clothing, for he had
read in the papers that snow had fallen in the
mountains three times during the summer,
and If in the summer, so much the more in
the fall When morning came, the clerk took
unto himself congenial spirits and, with
hundreds of others, proceeded to take unto
himself the day. Nearing the celebrated
summer resort, as he had apprehended,
" there was both ice and snow and it grew
wondrous cold" Lisbon, Littleton, Wing
Road, Bethlehem Station and Fabyan's
seemed to have resorted to Greenland.
