St Johnsbury's Oldest Landholder.

The only original landholder on Rail-
road street Of so years standing, if not
the only one in st. Johnsbury, is R. B.
Flint, proprietor of the Cottage Hotel,
who bought the lot where the house now
stands, half a century ago. He made the
purchase from DR.. Bancroft before break
fast one morning, giving in exchange a
horse valued at 5000. Quite a ravine
crossed the lot and the street at that
time and when Mr.. Flint erected the first
building there two years later he was
spared the expense of digging a cellar.
A few years afterwards the lot on Pearl
street, directly back of the hotel, was
bought by Mr.. Flint and he has never
sold any part of the property. The long
term of ownership suggests that the
: genial landlord has found st. Johusbury
: very satisfactory place OF residence
e and the present value of the property is
4 a reminder that the past so years has
, been a prosperous time for st. Johns
bury.

Athenaeum Notes.

A work of much practical value is in
hand at the Athenaum, involving the
reclassifying and cataloguing of the
library. The first printed catalogue was
issued in 1875, the second in 1890, and
pamphlet bulletins in 1895 and 1896.
Meantime the library has increased from
about 5000 to 16,6O2 volumes, also
methods of cataloguing have been much
changed and improved. Instead of pub
lished catalogues the card system will be
used for all books on the shelves OF the
library. The work is in charge of an ex
pert cataloguer. Miss Leslie Merritt, {
graduate of Pratt Institute, of Chelsea
Mass, assisted by Miss Lala Mcneil.
