f. Richardson, in the eastern part OF the
town, revealed to your correspondent won
ders of rock, and cliff, and mountain seem
cry he had never dreamed of. The deposit
of marble is largely in the bed OF brook,
while it ever, and anon branches out into
the fields and is discoverable for q continu-
GUS distance Of fifty rods or more. Here
are more varieties Of rock than can be found
in a days journey by steam car or bicycle.
The samples include the purest of lime
stone, the hardest of flint rock, and the
handsomest of dark blue, light gray, varie
gated, notified and banded stone. There is
every possible facility for working and
quarrying the stone, as far as getting the
stone is concerned, while sheds and polish
ing mills will be built in the near future.
Mr.. Austin, of Amesbury, Mass, who has
an interest in these quarries, is now on the
road and has been very successful in OBJ
tanning orders and contracts for both monu-
mental and building stone.
