Few places in any country can boast of
equal facilities of access to the best mar
ke's in the country. A canal, Of the
largest dimensions, and a railroad, of
greater length than any other in he coun-
try, pass through the premises; the former
terminating at tide-water, within SIS miles
and the latter within eighty miles, in an
enterprislng and hour,shing city. The
canal is rarely ever obstructed by ice
more than 90 or 80 days, and the rail
road never by snow, in the winter: thus
attording the miller and manufacturer a
choice IN the mode, ard always IA certain
ty of reaching ready market for the
produce Of his industry and enterprise.
The position is one of peculiar advan'
tage to the dealers with, and in, "ihe far
vest" lying, as it does, upon The great
thoroughfare, that is to be, between the
the valley Of the Mississippi and Atlantic
seaboard. Goods sold by sample for
that region-if from the manufactures
that are to be at this point would be
far on the way toward their des inalion,
and directly upon the railroad, over which
they must soon pass, to the Chic river,

would have been now equal to Lowell
And now that so much attention is d.
rected to manufactures Of various kinds,
and in every direction, and especially at
the South, may we not anticipate that, in
a few years, he who visits this beautiful
place Will find it 1ourishing town, or
even growing city like Rochester or
Lowell; and that those who lay its foun-

AN OLD ROGUE

Frost who is now in Jail for breaking
open the store at w-Haven last week,
is doubtless the one who attempted to rob
the Bank Of this place, some time since.
The file was found in his possession, from
which the piece was broken, in trying to
pry up the window, The two parts ex-
actly fit, leaving no doubt of their idenli
ty. He is believed to have long prac-
tlced his villany in sanding his wool with
on detection, ill this summer. His in
iquity has found him out He was worth
handsome property, and has wife and
hildren to leave if he should be sent, as
he doubtless will be, to Windsor. Hon
esty is the best policy" W. Observer.
