The bylaws provide that the Company

to start off on safe basis, and we are glad
to learn that the prospects of the Company
are quite fattering, and understand they
will issue policies of insurance in the course
of two or three weeks.
CORPORATION MEETING.-The annual
Corporation meeting Of this village, has
been called TO meet Monday evening, Jan.
Sd, at the Bellows Falls Hotel. The ques-
ton Of buying an engine will again come
up, and we are constrained 10 say that we
believe such thing is necessary, and hope
it will meet with a favorable consideration.
Insurance Companies consider their risks
greater in this than in other villages, on
account Of the limited means to extinguish
fires, and in many parts of our village
there Is no means whatever, and if a fire
were to break oat, our citizens would be
almost powerless to do any good. The
hydrants in sowe places will do much good,
but if fire was to break out tonight, there
is not probably one in the whole village
which could be Immediately set in opera
tion~;ecertainly many of them couldnot,
and that was the experience at the fire %
Canal street, last winter. We most sin
cerely wish our citizens would unite on this
matter, and give our village more security
against fresz
We hope the people viii attend the meet
ing and do their own business, and not
have any such disgraceful trap sprung
upon them as was the case last year.
Messrs. ]. "A. Farnsworth and t. Hoyt,
Of Saxton's River, have purchased of the
heirsell the interest in the WOODEN factory
in that phase, formerly owned by the late
George. Perry, and will soon commence
business under the firm Of Farnsworth &
Hoyt. The wooden factory at Cambridg-
port. formerly owned by ]. A. Farnsworth
g. Co., will pass into thehands of Messrs.
Fletcher Perry, Benz. Seoleld and Scion
Perry. They will commence business un-
der the firm of Perrys 81 Co. The MEM
bers of both companies are very enterpris-
ing and worthy men, and will no doubt
meet with the success they so well deserve.
Before you suspend call on Newcomb
and get brace for Christmas.
We understand that efforts are being
made to organize Boot and Shoe Compa-
ny in this village. We hope this may sue
coed, as manufacturing establishments with
good mechanics, are what will build up our
village. The above Company, if rightly
started and well managed, will prove a
good investment, and give employment to
some fifty men.
Stewards Syrup is capital article on
buckwheat cakes and may be had of Arms
& Wilson.
We suggest to the Lyceum that they
discuss the all-absorbing State House ques-
ton.
