The second party which went from
st. Johnsbury to Chicago returned last
Saturday morning, and report a big
show out there and plenty to see. Sev.
eral of the party who had purposed a

-Griswold, Pearl & Co. have bought
of M. Hines piece of land in Paddock
Village, on Railroad street just opposite
McLeod's mills, and will begin at once
the erection OF storehouse for their
-four and grain business. The lot is
170x90 feet, and the location, while not
as near the depot as the firm might
wish, is nevertheless convenient to the
tracks, which is an important item in
the transaction.
The handsome little book on YER
mont, issued by the state board of agri-
culture, of which brief mention was
made last week, contains some twelve
designs by our townsman, w. H. Sar-
gent. His work includes subjects of the
more substantial order, as well as apt
touches of humor, and it adds not a
little to the excellence of the volume,
which is winning much praise from those
who have seen it.
The trustees will use up about
S25O0 this season in the laying of con-
crete walks, and Mr.. Tilton and his
men have been busy at it for some days
past. Webster and Spring streets have
been attended to, South Park is now be.
ing treated, and portions of Summer
vile, Paddock Village, Pearl and Cliff
streets will also be given the improved
walk. The village fathers will be gener-
ally endorsed in this replacing of the
wooden sidewalks with material of a
more durable nature.

The builders of the new Pvthian
block and the town and village fathers
are discussing boundary lines on what is
known as Prospect street, and if the
builders original plans are carried out
the new block will occupy quite a piece
of land now devoted to highway pur-
poses, leaving the street about eleven
feet wide. A final settlement has not
been reached, but it is not improbable
that, to allow the erection of complete
and symmetrical block, without interfer-
ing seriously with the highway, the
angle at which Prospect street intersccts
the avenue will bechanged by purchase of
an additional strip of land to theeast and
the Knights thus be given what room
they need.
