noes can be more pleasant than drive
Eastward from Middlebury to the lake
! one of June's perfect days, when
Heaven tries the earth il it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
hen all the meadows are in flower and
the minstrels of the grove are in &C.
Fasy of song. TO be sure we cannot
nut our eyes to the obvious fact that
ar sturdy forefathers laid out the road
luarely over the top of every lift aud
How of land that marks this broad and
all with their new stone crusher and
BAD machine have been doing wonders
make this fact less noticeable. The
bad-bed through that town. most of the
ay. is very near perfection. Why do
bit the large and wealthy towns that lie
iacent go and do likewise?

pmbning business with pleasure, we
ok such drives and, among other mat
RS. took look at some of the excel
Mt stock at the Village Farm, Ticonde-

reat Improvements are being made at
e farm, which lies on the shores of
oricon, that loveliest of lakes, whose
phonious Indian name was hammered
pwn by the matter-of-fact English to
plain, simple George. A new barn,
70 feet long. now in process of erection,
ill soon furnish luxurious Accommodations
