SIxXTY-ONE years ago last Sunday,— 
Nov. 1, the Gloucester branch of the 
Eastern railroad was opened for travel 
thus doing away with the cumbersome 
and slow method of travel by stage 
coach and bringing the towns along the 
North Shore in closer touch with the 
world at large. 
**T He saddest days of the year’’ are 
upon us, but in reality they are the best 
days of the years, in many respects down 
here on the North Shore. ‘Take a fine, 
clear morning, for instance: ‘There is 
just frost enough in the air to quicken 
ones steps and makethe blood circulate 
faster. All about are the wonderful 
paintings of Mother Nature, a dash of 
gold here, a sprinkling of silver there and 
a wonderful green background. The 
birds pipe merrily, for there are always 
birdsamong us here along the North 
Shore, and one instinctively feels that its 
good to be living. All through the hot

summer we have been used to breathing 
in short, jerky gasps, or else almost pant- 
ing for a cool breath, but now—now we 
draw in great mouthfuls of the bracing 
air, our steps quicken, arms swing out 
freely, and the body gradually grows 
warm, with a heat which no artificial 
apparatus can bestow. ‘“The melan- 
choly days are here, the saddest of the 
year,’’ but its pretty hard to believe 
that. 
ANYTHING along the line of road im- 
provements is of interest to North Shore 
people, for North Shore roads as a whole 
are reputed to be among the finest in the 
country. <A bill has recently been in- 
troduced in the Vermont House for a 
system of trunk line highways, the esti- 
mated cost of which will be two and a 
half million dollars. The plan embodies 
two main trunk highways running north 
and south, the entire length of the state, 
and six intersecting lines running east 
and west from line to line.

MiscREANTS cut down two. beautiful 
trees over in Salem the other night. It 
was a piece of wanton mischief and 
should merit severe punishment.  Stat- 
istics show that our forests are gradually 
being used up and, once gone, what will 
become of the beautiful trees which bet- 
ter thinking men and women set out in 
the cities. Down here we harbor no 
such a class. The people of Manches- 
ter are truly proud of the beautiful trees 
which adorn the shores. Many private 
estates have been to great expense in 
keeping the trees in fine condition, and 
were there anyone so petty and mean as 
to wantonly destroy these beauties of our 
highways and byways, the people would 
rise in their wrath and punish the mis- 
creants. 
Nortu Shore people who visit Salem 
and have any time to spare should visit 
the Peabody Museum. ‘The building is 
located on Essex street and is free to the 
public. Therein zre gathered curios from 
every quarter of the globe. In the Mar- 
ine room are models of every kind of 
ships, charts and many interesting things 
pertaining to the sea. Butthere is one 
exhibit which, as a marvelous piece of 
GEO. E. WILLMONTON 
Telephone Connection 
work, stands out prominently, and no 
one should miss viewing it. This is a 
carving done within a shell measuring 
14 inch in diameter. It is divided into 
two hemispheres fastened together, and 
open. ‘This marvelous piece of pati- 
ence and skill is in the Marine room near 
the front of the building, and is within 
a glass case, which enables the visitor to 
view it from all sides. Directly in front 
of the hemispheres hangs a powerful 
magnifying glass, which enlarges the 
carved figures so that one may see even 
the features. The upper hemisphere 
respresents Heaven and contains 58 full 
length figures; while the lower one re- 
presents the Judgement Day and con- 
tains 28 fuil length, 19 half length figures 
and five heads. The hemispheres are 
hinged together and there is a leather 
case in which they may be put. Closed 
up one might easily place the shell in 
one hand and completely cover it with 
the other. 
This carving is supposed to have been 
done by a monk in the fourteenth cen- 
tury. A gentleman in Westphalia ob- 
tained possession of it in Italy, and pre- 
sented it to Elias Haskett Derby, who in 
turn gave it to the society in 1806. 
It is indeed a wonderful piece of work 
and no one will regret the time spent in 
looking at it. 
Miss Mary H. Northend of Salem, 
daughter of the late Judge Northend, 
has shown how anyone can create a field 
in literature of special nature which will 
appeal to a great many people. Miss 
Northend a few years ago madea special 
feature of writing of the things colonial 
in this section of the country, and her 
work is in great demand at the present 
time. She knows where all the finest of 
old furniture, old plate, and old china is, 
and gains access to it which few others 
could. She illustrates her own writings, 
and hardly a month passes but what she 
has something in one of the journals 
given to this character of contribution... 
And what she says has a great deal of 
interest to those at all moved by such 
matters. —Newburyport News. 
Miss Northend has made_ various 
North Shore homes and estates the sub- 
ject of many articles.
