were severely censured for daring to pre
sume to intlmate that there had been any
talk ln Barre of using Washington marble
for the now Opera House. The wrlter de
clared that Barre people would never go
back on their own beautlful gllt-edged gran

ovor, and bewalled the fact that the only
"rushlng clty ln eaatern Vermont" had
been made to advertlse that "alleged firo
proof marble" that was not known outslde
of a very small circle. He calied mlll-stone
hill Barre's own precloua Klondiko and
spoke with aupreme contempt of that "au
ciont settlement up the branch," As I
have sald, Aunt Tabltha read the artlcle,
tookacoplouB plnch of snuff, gave an un
earthly aneeze and sald: "Waal Salrey Aun,
