E0-We are pleased to hear that tho
new paper mill project by Mcssrs Rose,
Dorsey, & Bowman is now in succossf ful
operation. The mill is located on the
Antietam about four miles below this place
and occupies the site of what h.s been
heretofore known as Roland's mill. The
building is a substantial structure four
stories high and il filled with all the nec-
cssary and latest improved machinery
necessary for the successfsl manufacture
Of paper. So quickly and expcdiously
has this establishment sprung up under
the management of its enterprising p,o-
prietors that it seems like the work of
magic. We can but commend their ex-
ample to our numerous capitalists, who
might by judicious investments at home
realize larger profits than they can do by
investing their capital abroad.

boarded shop on East Washington Street, for
some time. He had = wifs and ..thrse children.
For some time past his wife had been unwell

the family suffered from an nsufIiciency Of cloth
ing and food, and the kind neighbors manifested
considerable interest and contributed to their sup

The announcement Of the sudden death of Ed ward

sixteen years ago, Mr.. Dale retired from ,he
once OF protinuotary Of the District Court of
this city, with $4,000 as the net proceeds of
ms Tenure in Office, and, as he at the time svew-

sum he placed in the hands Of Amos Phillips. q
personal friend and shrewd m.naysr Of ms..r,
without writteH acknowledgment, to be ssed ss
his own, and 20 make return to him or TO his
heirs when called os. Tho fact OF this denosit
thas made sixteen years ago, was known in Mr.
De lifetime only 10 the parties Immediately con-
necsed with It, and Mr.. D. having died suddenly
leaving no will or other record of this particular
investment, IRON which he had never drawn
anything and which had steadily Increased, his
heirs, sen and daughter, on Friday last, were
not little surprised 10 receive from Mr.. Phillips,

sum OF $5o,4ls. Though Mr.. Dale had suhsc-

900, and m seven wears since, about two-ffths
more wsuld be added to tho 100000 making.
without speculative ventures, the sum paid over

Ftrates the important fact that sftsen thousand
