The Rapids is getting quite lively. Our
citizens are all jubilant over the prospect Of
Observation-Disclosures bridges and wind
mills. The latter is a certainty. Laying the
foundation has commenced. and hauling the
material is progressing rapidly. $4,000 brick
and kiln Of lime for it are now being burn
ed. 1t is to be built after the latest style Of
English windniIls. The tower will be round,
4S feet high, beYeling from % feet within at
the bottom to Is feet at the top, and will con-
tain five hoars. The mill will run four
PAIRS Of four-feet French burr stones, flour
dressing machine, shutter and separators. 1t
will possess great power, carrying four sails
each from IS to 10 feet in length, and 10 feet
wide. These clothe and unelothe when in ac-
ton, as the irregularity Of the wind may re-
quire. The cloth is regulated by the action
Of the wind Mt the will Of those in charge, and
1t can be started and stopped in few seconds.
The mill is located on the hill, about 10 feet
higher, and touches the northeast corner of
our town site. The extreme hight Of the mill
will be about 80 feet above the town. We
may fairly expect to he seen and see our
neighbors from this hight. 1t will be an Orna-
ment to our town and country as well as a
public good.
II suppose the work on the bridge will
commence soon. May King & Co. speed the
work, should they get the job.
-Seamans & Roberts are doing a lively

Our merchants, Z. Tolford & Co.. j. 8.
Pigman, T. NJ. Gruwell, and o. II. Richmond
& Co., are having q steady trade. Their stores
are well stocked with all kinds Of goods usual
ly called for.
Our school is in q fiourishing condition,
under the care of Miss Otis. The manner in
which she governs the school and the rapidity
with which the scholars learn, prove to a
certainty that she is No. teacher. / think
the Directors should try and get her to remain
in the school another term.
We have a Union Sabbath school, sup
intended by Mr.. Potts, which is well attend
ed, and is beginning to be quite interesting.
-Jo Fisk is running harness shop, and has
all the work he can do.
Anderson and Van Marshall are always at
their shops, repairing reapers, plows, Guilt
