A Very Rare Bird. Ou Monday of this week, Mr. C. W. Giuliani, taxidermist, of this place, received a very rare bird, it being to all appearance a large white hawk.

It is marked like the white owl, only lighter but iu every other respect it is a hawk. It is a splendid bird, with four feet spread of wings, aud has attracted much attention from scientific men, and all who have seen it. From what can be found in books, it seems this bird corresponds to the Iceland falcon, though no one bus ever been seen in this latitude that we are aware of. Mr. Graham is of couise much pleased with this bird, aud will have him mounted iu a few days days for inspection.

It was shot by Charles T. Adams, of Cabot. Fire Alarm. The house of L. D.

Mr. Henry C. Hastings is cutting ice and shipping to the Boston market at the rate of five car loads per day, and has the prospect of a market for all the ice be can get cars for as long as the cold weather lasts, wbich he undoubtedly continue for some time.

The extremely warm winter has made au ice famine in the cities, aud those who have a large ice house well filled, have a good thing. About GO men are cuttiug ice out of the Barton pond and storing it there for shipment to Provi-deuce. A New Hampshire ice dealer sold out his store to a Boston party last week, on which said party made several thousand dollars. The NJ II. mau was not up ou Ice quotations.

Rollins. Mr. Severance is doing a thriving little business here, working from 5 to 10 men as occasion requires, and overlooking it all personally. He could do much more, had he more room to do it in, being already three months behind orders. The goods made at this shop go into all of the sunounding towns.

Tbe specialties here are chamber sets and exteusiou tables. The work, however, is mostly upon orders for the various kinds of cabinet woki made of brown ash, chestnut, black walnut, pine, bass, birch and maple. Probably over feet of lumber are used annually in this little establishment alone. Mr. Severance is prepared to fill any orders iu his line of business, as he employs skilled workmen, buys the best of seasoned lumber, aud guarantees satisfaction.

If one has a special job to be done, requiring neatness and dispatch, he can be accommodated here. Passing from this place, we enter the counting room of ORCTJTT, PINARD AND AVER, the most extensive manufacturers on the north side of the river. This industry is for the manufacture of Pack ing Boxes aud Cabinet Work. The company employ 40 men, and since October the works have been run day and night. The work is almost exclusively upon contracts, and to-day the compauy are six months behind orders.

And by the way, the majority of manufacturers with whom we have conversed are behind their orders, which would seem to be a pretty good sign of business prosperity. This company, like several others, could greatly enlarge their busiuess at this time, were their shops larger, so more men and machinery could be used. As it is, they are using the fullest capacity of the works, making the most of what they have. This company use about a carload of lumber per day in their various operations, which comes mostly from near Quebec. They manufacture 25 bedsteads, three chamber sets, and about four coffius or caskets daily.

Their Packing Boxes go to the Ameiican Bri-tania Company, Meiidau, Conn. a company that employ 1800 men and are ued for packing britaunia aud silver ware goods, that are shipped to all parts or the world. The fuiuiture made here is largely for local trade considerable of it going over the Portland Ogdensburg railroad. The company are now at work on an order for 150 chamber sets, to go to the White Mountains, the money for which will be ready the moment the work is completed. They furnish 1000 frames per for woven wire mattresses.

They draft their own patterns, and are constantly endeavoring to beautify and improve their goods. The hardware used in these works is of no small importance, amounting to from two to three hundred dollars per mouth. They pay $1000 annually for mirror plates. They use about a ton of nails per mouth, and between three and four hundred gallons of varnish yearly. To supply their trade, they purchase cane seat chairs by the 100 dozen.

They ship their goods by the carload. Like all other well managed concerns, tiiis one runs with system aud order. Each workmau has a special duty to perform, and by this means proficiency in the business is attained, which is mote likely to render a profit to the owners. Mr. Orcutt informs us that they not only try to keep skilled workmen, but also those of good moral character and none can work for them who are known to be intemperate.

This company do not pretend to do job work they only do so in emergencies, and for the sake of friendly accommodation. Upon the whole, there is a good deal of business done here, and tbe proprietors seem to be men of considerable enterprise. Close by are the works of H. AND H. E.

RANDALL, manufacturers of sash, doors, and blinds, also house builders and general jobbers. This is the ouly sash and door shop in this part of the village. The company make a specialty of dressing lumber such as planing, jointing and 'matching, and every other kind of work necessary in house building. Besides using from 50 to 75,000 feet of lumber iu their own business the past year, they dressed to order about 100,000 feet for other parties. They use about 100 boxes of glass yearly, and the pine lumber they use comes from Canada, from White-field, and from such other places as they find to be the best aud the cheapest.

The shops of this company are commodious, filled with good and abundant machinery, and well and conveniently located. At this particular time, for prudential reasons, they are not running much help; but: they are prepared to fill all orders, furnishing material if desired, and to do work thoroughly and at reasonable notice. It looks as though the public could be well served here. Ou the first floor of this building is the shop of W. F.

MORRIS, manufacturer of Basket Bottom chairs, and a place where furniture of all de-sciiptions can be neatly, thoroughly, and quickly, repaired. Whoever has had the pleasure of resting themselves iu one of Mr. Morris's arm chairs, need not be told what they are. -Nearly anything in the chair line can be made here. Mr.

Morris works considerably upon orders for special kinds of work. The different kinds of chairs made, are the kitchen, rocker, office and -nurse chairs, and it takes about 150 feet of basket stuff to bottom oue. As mauy as 75 dozens a year have been sold, and they have been taken to Qttawa, to Maine, Concord, Boston, Moutpelier aud the White Mountains, Mr, Morris makes a specialty of wood turning, such as stair balusters and newel posts, or in fact anything in the turning line. We saw an old fashioned clock case he had commenced, that showed good workmanship also nice mahogany chairs he was repairing, that when finished wpiild. be as good as new We judge that Mr.

Morris has a natural Miles of Four Corners, was taken with the black canker-rash on Tuesday of last week, and died Thursday morning. There had been no cases in the neighborhood, and no exposure to the disease on her part so. far as known. Peter Goss, who lives in the rear of the Free Baptist church, lost a little child by canker-rash on Monday. Horace I.

Woods has been very sick of congestion of the lungs; but was considered better yesterday His "1 it lie 11 eph Georgie living in hi family, is also quite sick. Dana Hall's wife, who Jives on the Danville road, has been quite ill, of gastric fever, and is so still. Too True. v. Remark of a business man on tbe street Tuesday: "Let the Vermont Smut Gatherer and, Mischief-Maker publish a story' about any of our citizens ever so low, ever so false, or ever so libelous, and there are some people who will either wink at it or call it 'smart j1 but let the Caledonian give a plain but truthful stiitpment, of facts, calling men and tninas uy tueir ngui iiainro, and these same men win express surprise at such unheard of treatment and unjust usage." We find it still makes a difference whose ox is gored.

Y. M. C. A. Annual Meeting.

At the annual meeting of the St. Johnsbary Young Men's Christian Association, boldeu Tuesday -evening, Mar. 16, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year F. G. Stevens; Vice E.

On Thursday eveniug of last week finn, 75 to 100 of the friends of Mr. Charles H. Hoitou gathered at his fath er's house, and then sent for Charles who is a clerk iu Fairbanks' store When Mr. Hortu came home he was a good deal surprised to find such a house full, and more astonished still to learn it was all on bis account. A beautiful secretary and writing desk, and a nice student lamo.

alieadv occupied the pallor, aud were presented hi in from numerous frieuds, as tweuty-fourth birth-day presents. The evening was happily spent, aud among other things said aud done, an original poem was read by Mr. Carl Spencer. There was a pleasant social gathering at the house of Rev. Mr.

Sandfoid, pas tor of the Baptist church, upon the 18th anniversary of his marriage, last Friday eveniug. About ou menus were pres ent, who left as a testimonial of their reerards. a nice, comfortable sofa. The affair was an entire surprise to Mr Sandfoid, the party getting possession of his house while he was absent at the eveuing meeting.

Whitmore Clark. These celebrated minstrels appear at town hall next Monday eveniug, the 22d. The Burlington Free Press of Jau. 19, says Whitmore Clark had their usual large audience at the Howard opera house, Saturday night and, excellent as tbe company has heretofore proved itself, it gives every token of improvement by age. Hank White's rich and rollicky humor is sufficient, of itself, to float any minstrel company, and George M.

Clark was aeeu at his best than wbich nothiug more ueed be said. The Hennesey brothers are as good performers in their line as have ever visited Burliugton, and they well deserved the numerous encores they received, Petts and Davey are good actors and siugers, aud the remaining members of the company ably, assisted in the mirth and music. The whole entertainment gave unqualified pleasure to the large aud excellent audience. Summerville. There will be a meeting of the citizens of Summerville next Saturday evening, at the school house, to see about tbe organization of a fire district.

F. E. Richardsou, whose mill was recently burned, intends to rebuild soon a building about 20 by 30 feet. His machinery for grinding bones is all made. He is now looking for his lumber.

His mill privilege is good, and we hope he will start a good and paying business. Mrs. Orange Harvey who was recently hurt by being thrown from a. sleigh, is yet in poor health. C.

F. Dean, who formerly run the bone mill, lately- burued, has rented a part of H. H. E. Randall's shop at Paddock village, has got his machinery in and is prepared to go to work.

Frank Drew's 'job ran away Tuesday, i'b He on Portland street, but was finally stopped without much Barnet. There was an anti-masonic meeting at the Walter iJarvey meetinghouse in the west part of the town Tuesday. A house aud barn belonging to C. W. Horton, and occupied by Mrs.

South Ryegate. A new Union Church is to be built in this village the coming season, upon the old pew system. The stockholders are Presbyterians, Methodists, the vil lagers generally, and other parties in tne country round about. Each man is to have a wairantee deed of his pew, and the land under it. One might think that South Ryegate would have been satisfied with the pew system without another trial.

It is but a short time ago, it will, be remembered, that took the Governor of the state and a distinguished Judge of the Supreme Court to unravel the snarl that the pew system led this people into.

Byron Wright has got settled in his new home in the village. Last Tuesday evening we ere favor ed with a lecture in the Congregational church by Rev. George H. Ide of Law rence, Mass. Subject, "Reserved Power." His lecture was in every sense a masterly effort aud sparkled with wit and humor.

We will always welcome him to his old home. A pound party was given Monday evening by a goodly number of the members of Wide Awake Grange, to Miss Carrie Hallett, daughter of Mr. Atherton Hallett. This was a complete surprise to the family. Miss Hal-lett's parents are aged and infirm, aud it falls to her lot.

Mr. Carpenter will travel asfotuierly, selling Campbell's Compartment Milk Pan, Bullard's oscillating churn aud Reed's butter worker. John Frye, an old resident of this town, was buried last Suuday. His age was about eighty years. We understand there is some talk of having a liquor agency iu this tovvu, and Dr.

Bogue, of the lower village, is spoken of as a proper man for the place. We also understand that the Doctor is a skillful physician, aud well liked by the community. A respectable man informed us that two or three days since it became necessary for him to get a little liquor for his family, aud he was obliged to go to Littleton after it and the joke of it was, the liquor was very poor when he had got it. St. Johnsbury's Industries.

The Works at Paddock Village. It is not our design to speak of the early history of this part of St. Johnsbury, as nearly all are familiar with it. We will only say, that the old places first occupied for business purposes by Huxham Paddock, James Ramsay, Joseph Hancock, aud some others, are still used by enterprising men engaged iu the various branches of manufacture. Though places have been burued and rebuilt, torn down and made over, with various removals, additions and improvements, so that in reality a great change has taken place here, yet many of the old landmarks still The Passumpsic river runs in the same old channel, and its waters pour over the same old dam, the roar of which sounds as familiar as ever, when the writer remembers, hearing it four miles away on a clear autumnal morning, in the days of his boyhood.

There is probably no place in this pait of the country where there are better facilities for business than here. There are but few places where water power is better concentrated, or where the power is more sufficient at all seasons of the year. The place has rail road facilities not enjoyed by many larger villages. Side tracks are laid, so that several cars can remain upon them at oncej for either loading or un 'oading purposes." And here, in a small compass, is carried ou inauy of the useful industries, such, as. are found pecesr sary to the welfare of country people.

We propose to go tbtough these various shops and mills, looking at the most important things only, and so we enter tbe shop of OSMOND SEVERANCE, manufacturer of household furniture of all-, grades and; styles, from a commqu Foster G.Stevens talks of roov-ing agaiu-tbi time he goes to the Ceutre.
