DEAR SIR,It affords me very great
satisfaction to hand you the accompany

citation of the services of our Firemen.
Please convey to the members of your
Co., my sincere congratulations and
thanks for their efficient services, and
my best wishes for their welfare.
Very truly yours,
c. f. STAFFORD,
chief Eng. Fire Dept.
And while we acknowledge his appre-
citation of our endeavors to protect the
81 faI q
cognize in him a firm friend to our or
ganization, may we not forget that far
greater exertions may be required of us
in the discharge of our duty as firemen,
through which accident and disability
may occur to some of us We therefore
resolve
That the above donation be held in
trust as the foundation of fund for the
benefit of those who may meet with ac-
cident in the discharge of their duty,
and shall be known as the Barlow Fire
mems Fund of Frontier Engine, No. 2.
And that the Foreman, first and Sec
Ond Assistants, Clerk and Treasurer of
said Company, constitute Board of
Trustees, who shall be held responsible
for the proper disposition of the same.
That we may be in reality what we
have adopted as our motto "Ever
Ready"
1t was further resolved that the fore
going resolutions and communications
be published in the daily papers of st.
Adams, and copies of the same sent to
the Hon. Bradley Barlow, by order of
the Company.

A GOOD EXAMPLE. "A Vermont eX-
change cOmmends the following as a
good example to be followed in this
State:
A few days ago a gentleman visited
Wooster, Ohio, looking for site on
which to locate a paper mill. A soon as
his errand was known, the business
men of the place, instead of raising
their rents and the price of lots, at once
proposed to furnish him, free of cost, a
suitable site, and steam engine to run
his machinery. He accepted the propo-
sitiOn, and is making arrangements to
erect a mill that will cost about $35, 900.
To this we may with great propriety
add a word by way of suggestion. 1t is
well known to the business men Of our
town that a company has been incorpo.
rated by act of the last Legislature, fol
the purpose ofintroducing the manufac.
ture of paper into st. Adams. We are
sorry to say, however, that the enter.
prise has not met with sufficient pecuni-
airy encouragement. The plan is noble
one, and if carried out would result in
giving additional Importance to st. AL
bans as a business place. But no Offer
has, 80 far as we are informed, beer
made of a suitable site, and hence the
work languishes. If as liberal an offel
should be made here as the Ohio people
made so freely, the beneficial results
which would follow can easily be imag
ined. There would be given additional
employment to mechanics, and thOs'
who come from abroad, like Mr.. st. Clair
from st. Johns, would be added to on
population and the works, when one,
: in running order, would give permanen
employment to many hands. 1t is sin
gular that even the liberality which sc
cures a greater return than the amour
bestowed should be withheld by OH
. citizens. We fear that our place will new
r er prosper 80 long as this penny-wis
, policy is pursued.
