The Fall and Winter Campaign
Against the Common Enemy
FULLY OPENED BY THE CHURCHES.
PreSbyterianiSm Is Now Reaching Gut to
Our East End Borders.
GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

Tie churches of the city are evidently
down to their work. Pastors are no doubt
better equipped for the fall and winter
campaign by reason of the summer rest.
Among the features of the week was an Or
ganization Of new Presbyterian church on
Highland avenue. Another organization
a Homewood will be completed at an early
day. As an evidence of the growth OF Pres
bvterianism in the East End there are
now Is churches in the district which vas
covered by DIR. McIlvaine a half century
AGO. Or. Mcflvaine was the first pastor of
The East Liberty Presbyterian Church and
is still alive and well preserved The terri
tory that he covered as pastor half century
ago Is now occupied by not less than 10
churches Of the different denominations.
The churches have kept pace with the city
in its marvellous growth eastward.

has passed her lowest ebb and is on an upward
course, are the indications that the present low
prices of farm lands and other real estate can not LONG
endure And the present opportunity for investment of
capital either in farm lands other industries is one not
to be neglected If the past year safe criterion to be
guided by it would certainly indicate that capital wisely
invested in Vermont is to bring large returns both
from the income from the and the increase in
the value of the property itself To persons seeking

MARBLE.
A MODEL Nj RBLE TOWN

THE great trouble with Vermonters is the fact that Ley
fail to appreciate fully the &C cd thin gs of their
State until they obliged to leave it but then they al
ways look back with pride upon the bought that they were
born and bred among the Green Mountain hills. Whie
our beautiful hills and valleys commonplace,
a stranger coming among th,m for tie first time is
charmed with cir beauty and grandeur So, too with
the principal industries within State. We do not
fully realize the Importance Of them the way in which
they regarded in the outside world.
While Vermont is spoken of rs the Green Mountain
State it is not nrequeny called the Marble State and
to this title it is without doubt fully entitled The census
returns for 1890 furnish information in regard to the
growth of the marble industry and Vermonts 81 are in
the same that must surely be very gratifying all resi-
dents Of the State. The figures compiled show that
than 63 per cent of all the marble produced IN the
United States from Vermont alone and of the bet
ter quality and grades used for monumental pun poses
far flom ninety per cent is quarlod among hills
The most valuable portion of this wondtl full deposit is in
Rutland County, and the center of the industry in this
County is Proctor
Marble was first discover ed in the State in the early
part OF the present century, but is only within the past
thirty " that it has BEEN worked any extent in
deed, it is within but few years that its rapid develop
men has placed it among the greatest industries of the
Staeif it has not become the leading industry. The
stone found in deposits and varies in de ent deposits
both to color, quality ard soundness In cooIs it is
found from the pune whitethe successful rival of
Italian satuary-to tie very dark blue, with inter mediate
colos between the two. One Of the most sought after
varieties is the couded Sutherland Falls, quar- led excu-
svey at Proctor which is by many iegarded the me st
appropl late of all monumental marbles.
The opening of marble quarry is expensive OF era
ton and attended with great risk. MAJ bic ledge hav
ing been found, it is first stripped of the top roc-gen
orally limestone-and then large channeling machines
are placed upon the stone to cut it into strips of the
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-08-19

quired size In the bottom Of these strips are then bored
large number of small holes into which steel wedges
are driven, and the entire layer raised up from its bed
These strips then in tie broken ND into
blocks of the requisite size and hoted out of the quarry
by huge deircks to the bank and from there taken to the
mills to be sawed into the different sizes desired
The mills in which the saving is done are fitted ND
with heavy iron frames, moving back and forth into
which ale fastened thin pecas of soft iron placed at diff
erent intervals and regulated by the sizes of the pieces to
be sawed The real saving is done by sand and water
which, by means of machinery, is constantly dropping
upon the marble, the moving back and forth and
gradually wearing their way down through the marble
From the mills the stock is placed upon huge iron BEDS
revolving very rapidly and also supplied with sand and
water, and by this means rubbed down smooth 1t is
then taken to tie finishing shops where it is cut into the
different shapes desled polished aced, and shipped 10
different parts Of the country be later set up in the
cemete les.
There is no place where this industry can be better
studied than at tie works of the Vermont Marble Com
pany at Proctor The town of Proctor owes its origin
growth and develop ment entirely to this industry

VERMONT"S MINERAL WEALTH.

T has almost been overlooked by her people
that Vermont is rapidly taking front rank possess
ing valuable mineral deposits.
In marble she leads all other States Estimating
fairly those who failed to report, find that in 1889
there invested in the marble business about six mill
ions Of capital nearly three thousand men were en-
poyed receiving wages and salaries about million
dollars. The out put about one Million seven hun
dred thousand cubic feet, valued at about two million
dollars.
The granite of this State has superior it has
equal If the present rate of increase continues Vermont
will soon lead in this well as in marble. Six hundred
thousand dollars capital is invested, about fifteen hun
bred men employed, receiving in wages and salaries
five hundred thousand dollars. The out put for 1889
was five hundred thousand cubic feet valued nearly
million dollars.
The slate industry is also rapidly developing. 1t has
a capital invested of five bundled thousand dollars;
ploys about one thousand men, paying them in wages
and salaries about four hundred thousand dollars. The
out put for 1889 hundred and fifty thousand
squares Of loofng slate and one million five hundred
thousand square feet of milling stock, valued at six hun
dred thousand dollars.
Besides these larger industries there is successful min
ing of "copper" iron and Other minerals and quaryng Of
soapstone, tale, and other stone On every hand are
great stores of mineral wealth. but waiting for brains and

At the session of the Legislature, the Vermont
Fish and Game League incorporated Starting off
with hundred and twelve charter MEMBERS its
bers have steadily increased. 1t is State institution
working for the benefit of all it's inhabitants. Its men,
bershp roll is open to all citizens interested in the well
fare of Vermont
We have fish and game laws, too many OF them, but
they exist in many sections only to be dsregarded AS
in other States the greatest difficulties in the of
cessul protection of fish and game conflicting and
misleading laws and ignorance of them Experience in
other States goes to show that proper observance
of the laws follows the erection of hatchery Appar-
emily influenced by the work of State in this
matter Congress made liberal appropriation with which
to purchase site and establish u S. hatchery within
limits. Thus with two hatcheres within the State,
it only remains to proper legislation to protect
fry and young fish and that the laws enforced
One of the most crying evils to-day and one which
certain streams would accomplish by prevention
than the hatcheres will accomplish by propagation, is
the reckless discharge of sawdust, me refuse from gas
houses &c. into which would otherwise abound
in fish If the State engages in fish culture and would
make a of it, this evil must be corrected.
This article is written from purely economic and
business standpoint will enter into the details Of
the pleasure be derived from fishing and shootng
the recreation coming nom such pure outdoor sports.
Our citizens would be benefited if they would spare
time to themselves and encourage youthn hese
healthful amusements.
With all the gifts of nature at DOORS let show
appreciation of them. With proper attention to
attention to the work just naugurated to increase
fish and game supply, Vermont will be truly called the
Arcadia of America

S0AP-ST0NE AND ASBESTOS.

a BOUT as far west of Montpelier as the Barre
quarres are east of it, are the large qua1ies Of
soapstone or free stone, pronounced by State Geologs
Hitchcock to be the best in New England The quai-
ries, located about mile and half from the railroad
station in Waterbury, the AIoretown side of tie
Winoosk river, extend nearly two hundred rods south
ery from the river road. About seventy years ago
befoe the days of railroads, soap-stone quarried
thele, and the product hauled to Boston, Mass with
teams The superior quality Of tie stone enabled the
propnetos to detray the great expense of transportation

and to continue the business for many years or until the
soap stone quarrits of Francestown n H. were opened
which supplied the earlier market with nearly all the
stone the meagre demand at that early day required.
The demand for soapstone has greatly increased within
few years and the Fancostow quarres having become
nearly exhausted the time is favorable for opening other
deposits. The Moretown quanes only the
Winooski river from the Central Vermont railway, or
within and one-half miles of its station at Water
bury, on the highway to that place

WIDE AWAKE FOR JANUARY.

Taking up the January WIDE AWAKE
one is led to reflect that this magazine
has a particularly happy and kindly
way of enlisting the interest and the
fancy of its readers by its Prize Compe-
titions. Its amusing Nonsense Ami
mails" were enjoyed by young and old
and showed tina the drawing-lessons at
school had really ira med young fingers
20 express ideas with the pencil; the
'sLambkin, Prig or Hero" competition
was not a bad s'course" in Moral Phil
osophy. The "Prize Anagrarn" compe-
tition amused thousands of readers.
For 1891 Miss Runners Prize Art-series,
1.-THE Drawing of the Child Figure" bids
fair to be of great interest to children,
while the Prize problems in Horol-
ogy," by E. II. Hawley of the Smithson-
ian Institution, will call forth the eff
forts of the students in the Latin and
High Schools
The stories and articles of the JAN
uary number are each excellent of their
kind and ere by such authors as Susan

or the value of extensive and jadicious ad-
vert:sing OF any article Of undoubted merit
is found in the remarkable success of the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., which has been
phenomenal, even in this age of great enter
prises.
Organized few years ago to manufact-
ure a laxative with original and attractive
features, prepared from delicious fruits and
health giving plants, one which would be
pleasant and refreshing to the taste, as well
as really beneficial 10 the system, the man.
agement very wisely concluded to select the
leading newspapers throughout the United
States to make known to the public the
merits of the new remedy, Syrup of Figs.
As happens with every valuable remedy,
cheap substitutes are being offered, but it is
becoming more difficult each day to impose
ON the public. Health is too important to be
trif1ed with, and reputable druggists will
not attempt to deceive, as they all know
that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. of San Francisco,
