Mr.. McMAsrER-Dear Sir II
noticed in my paper, the AGE, of Dec
End, that Charley Hamlet fell on O.

mistake. Mr.. Hamlet began work
for J. H. Shedd & Co., three years
ago as Fireman and Engineer he has

last spring, when he cut his foot and
was MT able to work for several weeks,

coming close to the teeth. Charles is
of steady habits and faithful at his
work. The Company finished saw.
ing pine timber Friday afternoon, and
are now setting up the Mill near Mr..
Shattuck' S to saw for about two months.
The lst Of February the Mill is to be
taken to Fremont, N. H. Mr.. Jonas
Spaulding, Jr., of Townsend Harbor,
Mass, one Of the firm, intend to get
out slaves for fish barrel and mackerel
kits. 1t will cost him about $4,000
to get ready for the work. He now
employs about 60 men getting out
slaves and coopering His brother,
l.. G. Spaulding, who has charge Of
the Mill and saving goes to Fremont
to run the Mill and take charge of the
help. Mr.. T. Barnes who has had
charge of all the Teaming Of the logs
to the Mill and lumber to the cars,
&c, goes to Fremont with the mill
in the same capacity. Mr.. Barnes
has worked for one of the owner for
some years. There is now about
100000 #. Of lumber in the mill
yard they ship about 10000 #. a

The Two Monuments.

The Congress has become imbued with
throb Of patriotism about the Washington
monuments viz, that at Washington TO TIT
father of his country and that at Fredericks
burg to WAsHSGroN's mother, who some
person has said was the grandmother OF her
country. Congressional committees nave
visited both. That on the monument IN
Washington has reported in favor OF run
ming the shaft to height Of four hundred
and thirty-seven feet instead of FIVE hum
cred and fifty feet as at first intended. The
height already attained is one hundred and
seven,y-feur feet, at a cost Of $2l5,O This
sum was collected from the people. There
remains OF the sum collected $4,000. The
estimated cost OF completing the structure
is S325, 900, which it is understood Congress
will appropriate if it is decided that the
monument shall be completed at all.
The committee on the Fredericksburg
have just visited it, aud have not
made their report. 1t is doubtful whether
the patriotic impulse that caused theiDQuiry

last very long. Maybe another Congress ten
