Town MEETING. A town meeting was
held on Saturday last, to see what the
town would do relative to purchasing
farm for the support of the poor of the
town. The Committee consisting of A.
S. Thayer, America Thayer and Ii. Il.
Brown, who had been authorizedto ex-
anime farms with view of selecting one
for the purpose, reported that they had
examined several, among them the
Woodbury. farm, in the south part of the
town, which could be had for sc, 200
the Abner Benson farm, north part OF the
town, for $4,000 the Col. Ripley farm
for s25OO; the Hathaway farm for 1880;
and several others were mentioned
Propositions to sell came in so freely. it
was thought best to authorize the Com
mittee to buy, according to their distre-
ton, at price not exceeding $500. II.
G. Brown. Esq, declined serving farther
on the Committee, and Hiram Jackson
was substituted.

Tiilage Enterprise.

We regard it as a favorable omen for
the prosperity OF our village to find such
an interest manifested on all hands in the
proposed Steam-mill enterprise On Sat
urday evening last. a meeting was held
to consider the proposition OF MIR. r.
Willis and sons, 10 erect Steam Mill
containing portable Circular Saw, Shin
gle Machine, Clapbomd Machine. Lathe
and Table Saw, Jig Saw. Planning ma
chine. Sc. provided tho citizens would
furnish steam Engine woI tn $2o00, they
agreeing to run the Mill Tor ten years or
longer, and have the use OF the Engine
us long as they will run it, but not to re-
move it. Dr. L. III. Brown was chosen
Chairman of the meeting, and S. r. Car.
ter Secretary. Messrs. Black, Kimball,
Thos. NJ. Crocker, Ii. +. Hammond and
others spoke lavorably of the movement.
Mr.. Croker stated that there was lumber
enough within a mile and n half of our
village to supply the Mill for ten years,
while there was large quantity within
seven or eight miles which would come
naturally to it. 1t was agreed on all
hands that it is necessary for our Citizens
TO engage in some enterprise Of this ma
turc to hold our own with villages favor
ed with greater natural advantages Tor
business. Nothing is more evident than
that the introduction OF one branch of in
dus,ry into 4 community creates \ want
