New FLOUR MILL--This establishment recently
erected Oh the premises OF Mr.. Levers, has Just been
completed, and on Tuesday and Wednesday was set
at work, grinding corn. The design of the mill was
made, and the machinery selected by Mr.. Thomas
Hunter, who also put up the old mill in 1858. The
building is much smaller than the old ore, and the
arrangements more compact and labor-saving; in fact
so economically has it been arranged, that only one
person will be required to tend the mill. The stones,
smut-mill, bolts and other machinery are mostly of
improved patterns, ana work to a charm. The motive

ployed for the planning shop, which 1t Is thought will
give all the power required. There is only one run of
stone, but 1t will grind all the wheat that viii be
