Enrroa-REpocriav,: As you a few weeks ago suggesteid that if anybody went anywhere, you should like to have them let you know what they saw, I will heed your call this time, for I do not recollect of any descrip tion in your paper of the Marble Re gions of Vermont, and think a bird's eye. View of-the Rutland Quarries will be suggestive of their importance to this little State, in the way of com merce. We left here at eight o'clock, and a short drive through a pleasant and thriving farming community brought us to West Haven, the early boyhood home of Horace Greeley. As we came in sight of the low, brown house, we tried to fancy the great Newspaper General a little tow-head ed boy dodging in and out its low doorway, but it - required quite - a stretch of imagination to see any thing like the relics of genius cling ing to its brown "walls. And I did not see a boy I would appoint as his successor in _newspaperdom. Farther on we came in sight of Hampton, the home of the prophet Miller, whose false teachings brought him such a world-wide reputation, and, ruin to so many families, in the days when Millerites made their robes and prepared to visit Heaven forthwith. Fiiir Haven, oar nearest approach to the railroad, is ten miles distant, is a• fine, flourishing town, althoug burned twice during the past yea', it is increasing in business and al in beauty, as each' fire has been the means of larger buildings being built in place of those consumed. Se/•eral marble houses are seen in passing through. and if not beautiful to look at are at least expensive and filtrable. Fair Haven boasts at the/ present time of thb largest marbles ag slate establishment in. the United States, besides marble mills and /Slate mills for the manufacturing otrooflng. In the marble departmen„ alone they employ over a hundred men, and the other departments are' equally large. Two miles farther' and we ,reach Hydeville, once thelead•quarters of Vermont marble, but the opening of 'larger and richer quarries left this. of little account, 'arid the town seems falling into decay, although it has , many handsoMe• residences, and strange to sav/a little Gothic Church, where Episc6palians worship; this, in my eyes,. has a charm, for it is the only one within - - a circle of twelve miles. 7 In fact; Religion and Politics in this county (the. whole State too, I might nity), is all on one side: all Re publicnn and all Congregational; all right i ng to politics, you say; certain ly, bet rather monotonous in time of Pregidential election. - I .sometimes long to go down the Lake to White Hull, and hear them give one grand l!urrah for the Democratic side, -just for variety's sake.

NELSON Castleton, our first stopping place, is a busy, densely shaded town, boasting among other large and beau tiful buildings, a large Seminary, whose graduates every year are sent forth armed and equipped with a parchment, to set them up in busi ness as" Yankee school manns." This is called. one , of the pleasantest of Vermont towns by many people who spend their summer among the Green Mountains, but to me it was rather Shady. I believe the man was sincere who, passing from Rutland to Fair Haven in search of Castleton, went through the town and • didn't see it. When friends triad to con vince him that he must have - passed the town, he insisted that he came through a long piece of woods be tween West Rutland' and Hydeville, and thought if he saw a man he would inquire how far - it was, but didn't meet anybody to tell him: so ,TOWANDA,.

On the shore of this Lake are the -fa- moos Pencil Mills, where such vast numbers of slate pencils are manu factured, tkuit go to supply all our public schools. They are manufac tured at the rate of forty • thousind per day, and large quantities are • ex ported to other countries. At Castleton some friends joined, and we drove through the little val ley made by the Castleton river, with just width enough between that and the mountains on the other side for the railroad. West Rutland is a town no one would think o stopping in if out for pleasure or sight-seeing, unless they knew for - what they came. Although the pride, the boast and the wealth of Vermont, with its monstrous quay ries,.huge mills, and all its countless machinery for sawing marble, it makes no show as you go on your way. The mills •are low, one-story buildings, and ran along by the edge of the quarries, making no preten tious to the rnblic eye of the power there is within them. The quarries are half a mile in length, and 'varyieg in width from fifty to one hundred and fifty feet. Arches are left every three hundred feet, either as a dividing line between the owners or as bridges for crossing to the opposite side. They have now reached,the depth of one hundred and fifty feet, and in each depart ment or between each bridge, there were small steam engines, or as' they call them chaneling machines work ing by steam, chisels that cut about one foot an hour as they move across from side to side, ' , end to the depth of four feet, that being the thickness of ordinary blocks. When loosened from the solid mass, they are raised by steam in huge pieces,. weighing from two td fifteen tons. These huge pieces have to be lifted straight into the air to raise them from thal quarries, for the sides ,are perfectly straight an 4 as smooth in many plams as the walls of a house. It 1 _gives one a shaky sensation' to see one of these monsters rise fro his in / rock-bed, and feel that ,if the /ropes break or the engine blowi i iup, it must go crashing back to itAi rocky bed, bringing death and de ) struction to numbers who assist as At swings back and forth over the eat vault it so lately helped to fill. the eat landed on terra firma, it is drawn to the mill by o en and sawed into pieCes of different/thickness, and 'o any one .who has ever seen the process of marble sa34ing, this looks like slow busine,ss. /Although driven by steam, they ea but an inch an hour, as it is saw by pouring on, I / 1 sand and water. The saws are made of band iron, a d would have no ef fect without tile sand, and that would "do nothing wi bout the water. There are ,a - number of mills at the quarries owned by Sheldon k Slaw son.

W,3 stood by the edge of this huge marble tomb, as it looks like, and sani them as they worked so slowly and patiently. They looked like boys i f t tur or five years old at play with a . mall engine, than looked about the size of a sewing Machine, although I believe they said it was about twenty feet long, if it did look so small to tis. They heard our con versation distinctly, and would look up occasionally as though they thought we were talking to them; but no sound came to us save theiching, chingiof the .engine, for echoes do not rise; and the quietness with which such large work is accomplish ed is truly surprising, when we think how much noise and bluster small work sometimes makes. Some of our party would have lik ed to have gone down the ladder that served as stairs to this huge cel lar, but the Doctor objected on the plea of its being too damp for ladies, but we all believed he 'feared to trust the muchness of his own personality on those frail looking stairi, equally as much as to trust his wife's boots , to the dampness of the quarries. From here we went to the Rutland Rural Cemetery, driving about the different streets and avenues of this silentcity of the dead, where repose the t'irgfitest and most beautiful of Rutlillid'i'departed sons and daugh ters. Passing near a larger monu ment than we had yet seen, we stop ped tO read the inscription, and found it painted to , the last resting place of Solomon Foot, whose - death Vermont mourns as one of her no blest statesmen, and who 'died whilst serving his third term of office as United States; Senator. ' His, monu ment is of Vermont granite, a grand and massive structure fit to' record the name and deeds of this great and good man. Decending the bill upon the other side we came upon numer ous tombs and vaults, around which many bright-hued flowers grew, showing they held the loved and lost of some household band. -' Rutland is a large, promising 1. ok ing.town, with fine buildings,. clean broad streets, and a depot which they may well be proud of in point of neatness and comfort.

It is locat ed in one f the beautiful, fertire, ro mantic legs of Bradford county. It was 7 ell filled , with clean, well dressed, intelligent looking, attentive (except the individuals hereinafter desajbed) hearers—worshipers they appeired to be. The speaker was one of those earn est( gray-haired men of - three score, who so deeply impress a congrega-_ ion. I think he was not - the regular .astor, but came there on a special mission. Before the preacher had finished his introduction a loud whis per was heard all over the house. Glancing my eyes in the direction whence the noise proceeded, I beheld two very intelligent looking, fashien ablyliarnessed young ladies. I after ward learned that both these girls were school warms in the matrimo nial market, though at present bean less, daughters of respectable Chris tian parents. These girls kept up an incessant whisper or snicker for the next half how.- when their excessive giggling brought on sensations they could not control, I presume, and they were obliged to leave the house, much to the relief of at least one. I really hope that the parents of these girls were not present., for if they were how their hearts must have bled to see the child on whom they had lavished their time and money for, the purpose of education—on her, upon whom they had centered so many hopes, and f6r whosithappiness they world sacrifice life itself almost —so desecrate the. House of God, so wilfully break the Sabbath, so cruelly treat an aged disciple of the Lowly One—a stranger—and so annoy a whole congregation of pious worship ers: Now, dear girls, I sincerely hope that this great sin was not . premedi tated, but that lon only did not think and will do so no more. 13nt if yon purposely misbehaved thus for some definite object, and repeat the same play the nest , time or any other time we attend Church to gether, I will assist, you in gaining notoriety by publishing 'your names and address, so thEtt school ,directors looking for teachers Fitterns of propriety for their children to follow —may know where you are, mid leave yon there, and also that young men looking for a well bred, nicely be haved, virtuous wife, may go for you. . OVER TUE lam LEARN .u.r. you CAN.—Never omit an opportunity to learn all you can. Sir Walt:r Scott said that even in a stage coach ho always forind.some body who could tell him something he did not know. Conversation is frequently more useful than books for purposes of knowledge. It is, therefore, a mistake to be morosiit and silent among persons whom y6u think ignorant, for a little sociability on your part will draw them out, and they will be able to teach you something, no,mattiir bow ordinary their employment. Indeed, some of the most sagacious remarks are made by persons of this description, re specting their particular pursuit. Hugh Miller, the Scotch geologist, owes not a little of his fame to ob servations made when be was a jour neyman• stone mason, end working in a quarry.- Socrates well said that there 'was but one good, which is knowledge, and one evil, which is ig norance. Every grain of sand goes. tomake a heap. A gold-digger takes the smallest nuggets, and is not fool enough to throw them asray,beeause ho hopes to find a huge, v ilurop some time. So in acquiring knowledge, we should never despise 'an opportu nity, however unprOrnising. If there is a moment's leisure, spend it over a good or instructive Wiring with the first one you meet.
