ofa large cotton and wooden mill,
and a grist aud saw-mill. '--

built of brick, in the most substan-
4 tial manner, three stories in height.
Il operated over 1000 spindles, and
| from 35 to 30 looms, besides carding
| all the other necessary machinery
/ used in such establishments. About
I20 persons were employed ia it, all
Of whom have of course been
| thrown out of employment.
| The mill turned out weekly 1900
| yards of theIbest quality of four quar-
ter brown sheetings, besides large
quantities Of cotton batting, yarns,
etc. 1t was:established ab5at TWEEN
ty years ago by Samuel Graham &
brother, who own several thousand
acres ofland around it, besides the
little town which they built through
the operation Of the mills. The
town has church, school-house,
store, temporancehall nd.postofiice.
Every man; woman and child in the
place found steady employment

The Toy age.

"When," asks an English maya,

to stand more firmly than those old
avenues whose trees were ali OF
that one peaked shape, with green
ringlets up them; the toy ship
grown into yacht; the box of din

Well, grant you it wonld be poor
way to consider things, to look at
these things only as toys, only as

Of them, do thus employ them
The toy age continues all the life
long, though the child's heat goes
