has tended materially to promote the growth of the
town, and add TO the comfort and convenience Of
its citizens. The people, not only of the town. but
from the country, sensibly feel and eagerly en-
brace, the advantages afforded by the steady opera

project into fleet, accomplished the repairs,
so that those who depend upon the mill for their
work or h .ur, have always been accommodated
The excellent character Of the mill, however, at
tIac;el more bags" till the power of the hnery
was found insufficient, to do the work. 200 bushels
a day, on an average, would no longer suffice.
Consequently the proprietor is now having another
boiler added to the rest, with view to putting on
MonE STEAM So as to run four pair OF burs con-
s,an,y, if required. These additions and improve
ments will be completed in few days, when all
who WILL may sell grain, buy fl ur, or have 1t man
f,c,ured The fixtures in the mill are complete for
making mer hant work, bu, it is worthy Of remark,
that all the flour now manufactured at the mill, is
sold to the citizens of the town. and vicinity, a' fast
as il is bol,ed aud ready for delivery. And last
spring the proprietor sent 1000 bushels of grain to
the city market, the mill being so much engaged at
country work that it could not flour all the grain
taken in. At this establishment the producer has
a good and steady marke, ear homo, and the con.
up constant supply OF Il ,ur for family use. Our

THE IRON TRADE,

IF any Of the capitalists Of Philadelphia, or else
where, who are desirous Of clearing IN investment
of one or two hundred thousand dollars, in the
space of four OF five y,a's would honor this neigh
borhood with a vi.it, we think we could convince
them how the above object might be accomplished,
We could show them, between this and Shamokin,
such facilities for the making Of iron, such jrpos ties
Of Coal, Iron Ore and Limestone, aud that too Of
very superior quality, oil Of which is most conve-
niently located that would convince even the mos,
sceptcal of the truth of the above assertion.
A few years more, and tha, portion Of the valley
of the vail y Of the Susquehanna, aboundiny in
coal and iron, will present scene of industry,
wealth and ente,prize that no one could hav, con
ceivcd few years since.
The smelling of iron with anthracite coal, will
form new era in the history of Pennsylvania. 1t
will add millions to her natural and productive re-
sources. Her canals already begin to experience
the benefits of the con, and iron trade the tonnage
of which, in few years, will amount to ten times

Many persons are disposed to think that true

f1rm or manner it is expressed. The homes, yec-
man. who remains immovabe in his seat while he
welcomes his guest, by telling him TO "come in and
hun, himself chair" frequently ev;nces true
puliteness than the most refined coIconb who re-
ceves his visitor bowing and scraping enquiring
after the al,h of his family for which he cares a.
bout little as he does for the man in the moon,
