4 Meritorious Institution.

The Neryine, established at Burlington
three or four years ago by DR.. \. J. Will
lard for the rest and cure of tired-Out
nervous systems, receives many iattering
notices and has taken rank among the
prosperous and deserving institutions of
the state. The following is copied from
The Earth, published at Burlmgton:
some of the institutions of this city of
which we may justly be proud is the Rest
Cure on North Prospect street, established
by DIR. Willard a few years ago, and now in
the high tide of success and prosperity. This
establishment combines all the comforts of
home and the appointments of a first class
hotel with the advantages of retired posi-
ton and medical treatment for tired nerves
and weary brain, and has already achieved
a reputation second to none in the United
States as a pleasant and cheerful retreat
for invalids who require mental tonic as
well as rehabilitation of the physical sys-
tenn. The success that has attended this
enterprise is all the more gratifying from
the fact that it adds in no small measure to
the good reputation of our city, and as the
building itself is spacious and handsome as
to its exterior as well as within, it enhances
the attractive appearance of the city by so
much, while the fact that the class of pa
tients treated at the institution are natu-
rally from the higher walks of society is
worthy of consideration. Some friends of
our own having been dOmiciled there
awhile for treatment, we are able to speak
with all the more confidence of the meth
dds employed by DIR. Willard, as well as of
the home comforts, quiet seclusiOn, sani-
tary position and the desirable encourage
of the place generally, and we do not know
of any place where we would more gladly
send friend or relative who might need
rest and quiet to restore the functions of a
temporarily disordered mind and body than

The United States fish commission has
begun an experiment i'm the propagation of
salmon in eastern waters by placing $500
California salmon in the headwaters of
the Battenkill river at Arlington, stream
which flows into the Hudson. The plant
ing was done last Saturday. The young
fish were brought to Arlington from the
hatcherios at Cold Spring Harbor Long
Island, in fish commission tank car. On
arrival at Arlington they were placed in
large tin cans made for the purpose, and i'm
them carried to the deep pools i'm the Bat
tenkill, where it had been previously de.
cided to place them. Only seven of the
fish died on the railroad journey, and only
30 in all. The fish are nine months old
and from four to seven inches long-largo
enough to have some show of taking care
of themselves. \ few years ago an ekper-
imcnt was made by placing millions of sal
mon fry in the headwaters of the Hudson.
but it failed because the fish were so small
and were quickly devoured by other fish.
The fish chosen for this experiment are the
Chinook salmon, which, in the rivers of
the Pacific coast, grow to a size of from 20
to 20 pounds. The question to be decided
is whether, placed in eastern waters, these
fish will follow the habit of their kind and
return to their native streams after grow
ing to maturity, spawning ard going down
to salt water.

There are more business blocks, more
houses, shops and stone sheds being built
this year in Barre than in any year in her
history. Barre will put over 100000 into
business blocks, houses, etc, this year and

Barre has never had a more prosperous
