manufactured, and which he assures us
he shall still improve on, so long as the
necessary chemicals and fixtures for his
machinery can be obtained.
The energy displayed by Mr.. Winter
in keeping bis mill running is worthy of
all commentator. He showed US fine
tapestry carpets. which be took from his
floors as substitutes for felt. without
which his mills are entirely useless.

We candidly acknowledge we did not

hard things of its arrangement, while. il

noble and manly, and it affords us pleas.
