Clyde.-We paid short visit to the pros
porous and rapidly growins. village of Clyde,
on Tuesday last, and while there looked in
upon our new cotemporary. We found friend
White jolly and good natured as usual, and
confident Of the successful result of his enter
prise The Independent has 50 far met with
a hattering reception.
The post Office troubles though settled
by the appointment of R. B. Mcpherson, has
left some little iIl-feeling, and dissatisfaction
which, it is hoped viii soon disappear. Mr..
MCPHERSON has not yet entered upon the dis
charge Of the duties of the office.
We found friend Richey, recently of this
place, actively engaged in pushing the carriage
and wagon business. He has so far met with
hattering success.
Visiting the establishment of Mr. c. Hunter,
who is engaged In the manufacture of Pruning
Knives, we found he had established a much
larger trade than one could have supposed for
the short time he has been engaged in the
business. Since September last, he has man
ufactured and sold about 5000 with
an increasing demand for them. They are an
article of general utility, and no farmer should
be without them, as they save vast amount
Of labor in pruning, and what is more valus-
bic even, much time. As an evidence of what
value such institutions are to town, we nav
say he has paid out over eleven thousand dol.
lars for labor alone in their manufacture, in
the past eight months. Besides this establish.
ment, Clyde has many others which ara ad.
ding to its prosperity and augmentiug its
growth.
In company with several friends, we visited
the residence Of Mr.. Metcalf, short distance
from the center Of town, to get view of some
photographs on window pans, recently discov-
cred On one pane, there is a profile view O,
female plainly delineated, with rather sbarr
features. The face is clearly marked and the
neck and shoulders quite plainly visible, al.
though the top of the head seems to be merged
iuto hump, not unlike an immense chipnon
slightly displaced. On another pane, appear,
the figures of two children-girIs-witb cprlv
heads, and pleasant features. They are moi
very distinct, yet after looking at them for a
time, they become plainly marked, one appar.

On another pane many profess to see a dark
object which resembles person sitting near
to but back Of the glass, but we could not get
our optics to see it as they saw tit is too in
distinct to realize Just what is there. Similar
photographs are said TO be outlined, but indis-
tinctly, upon the windows of the public school,
but we had not time to call and examine them.
And this brings to cur mind a half promise
we made friend CHM, to visit the schools. but
which we were obliged to violate. We shall
endeavor to make good the promise on a fu-
ture occasion. The schools now stand better.
In the estimation of the people, than ever be-
fore, and all accord to Superintendent CHM.
the highest need of praisesfor his efficiency
and good management, and claim for their
schools superior excellence.
The Prohibition Vedetta, Qate Ne,os) has
augmented its list among the temperance pub
lie, by entering upon the career of politico-
temperance sheet We found the propri ,.ora
busy at work getting off their edition, which
with the facilities they have is quite a Job.
Clyde is prosperous. 1t contains public
spirited people, who work for the interest Of
the town, and who are not afraid of little
expense to promote the general welfare. Al
ready it has quite a manufacturing interest
established there and the tendency is in that
direction.
