F. I, Cutler of North Main street has |

ter-century ago. Hoyt & Milne cut the

mered Barre granite. When erected it
may easily be rated as one Of the best
proportional monuments in Green Mount,
according to experts who have exam
ined it. Four horses were required to
transport the bases and before they
gained the outskirts of the city they
kept pretty much TO the side streets. A
double hitch attached TO sleds bearing
the cap and die had some trouble on
Main street, just north of Depot square,
early this morning, and one of the horses,
which belong to n. NJ. Nelson, fell in the
highway before the load was dislodged
Barre bird lovers who have been max
ing a study OF the different species which
have been making their abode in Yer
mont during the past few years, were
pleased one morning recently when they
peeped out on their lawn and detected
flock OF evening grosbeaks numbering
about dozen in all. The evening gros- :
beak is commonly found on the northern ,
coast of the Pacific and a few instances '
have been recorded where they have mi |
grated to points in central Canada, some c
times in Vermont and other New Eng
land states. The bird has very pretty
plumage and the males are prettier than :
the females, as the masculine sex sport /.
much gayer colors, they being decorated
in olivaceous and yellow shades mixed
with tints of black and white. Their
beaks are large and conical shape.
Whenever this species has strayed to = =
New England before, they have usually !
been alone or perhaps two or three in a
lock and were thought to have been
lriven eastward by the winds, after be-
coming separated from the flock which ' !,
they were in, but the recent family
seemed to have too many for this argu !
nent to stand.
