The capital which is now laying ut at Ando-
yer for the purpose of laying out another
manufacturing town, would have all been in
vested here had it not been for that vile spirit
which prevails in this State, if possible, to
worse extent than in Virginia.
This town is entitled to eight Representa-
tives in the State Legislature-or two more
than any other town IN the State-and with
ITS rapid increase in population, will be its ill.,
crease in Representatives. Each town has
one Representative for every three hundred
persons. This will have great influence in
regenerating the State. This town in COM

One of the most foul and mysterious muir
ders was committed in this town last Spring
that the record Of human vilainy has perhaps
developed. A man by the name Of Parker
was called nom his houseby man who said
lady from Lowell desired to see him. 1t
was about half past nine O'Clock at night
Parker and the man walked about tw O humid
red yards together, when the man, in the O.
pen streets, stabbed him and cut his head
nearly of, and deliberately took Sc, 900 out Of
his pocket, aud walked away with it. The
cry OF II urder was repeatedly heard, but was
supposed 10 be some noisy boys, and no at
tention was paid TO il. The real murderer,
it is supposed must live in Manchester now.
But who he is, is yet a mystery. Ii is almost
incredible that man should have been so
dreadlully murdered at that early hour of the
night, and in so public place.
The town seems to be destined, from pres
ent appearances, 10 be not only much the
largest town, as it now is. than any other
place IN New Hampshire, but much the most
valuable. So hard pushed are they for time
in the erection of the many factories and
houses, that many Of the workmen are heard
hamnering and planning until 10 O'Clock at
night. Block after block of two, three and
four story buildings are filling up each side Of
the street. in rapid succession. They are
now cutting street after street through the
hills, and filling up excavations. Every thing
and every man, woman and child, seems to
be on continual move. The town, after
they get up them factories and other bull
dings, will have a population of 1000 or
$4,000 inhabitants. What lesson does this
