in the lower end of this county. Cannot
the people be induced to improve their pub

JOHN Mitchell BACK.--On Thursday last
arrived in New York, per steamer Minneso-
ia, from Liverpool, Mr.. John Mitchell and
daughter, accompanied by DR.. Carroll, Of
Philadelphia. 1t will be remembered that
Mr. Mitchell returned to Ireland last July
after an absence of twenty-siX years, and
that many of his friends expected he would
be arrested by the British authorities as soon
as he landed. Mr.. Disraeli, however, did
not see lit to order his arrest. Mr.. Mitchell
visited most of the principal places in Ire.
land, including the Lakes Of Killarney, in
strictly private manner, and was every
where received kindly by the people. Be
fore leaving he was presented with test.
monial, amounting to about $4,000, by the
National party in Ireland.

ITS MANUFACTURES.

1t is we'll known fact that no town or
city in the state of Vermont possesses a
water power better than is found in Yer
gennes, and there are probably not more
than one or two its equal. The waters of
Otter Greek pouring over the natural falls
here formed afford power enough to drive
machinery that would place this city
among the largest manufacturing places in
New England. In addition to this the
river is navigable for boats up to the very
shores on which the manufactures now es-
tablished are situated, giving chance for
unloading stock and shipping the goods
after they are manufactured, such as is not
frequently found. Notwithstanding these
advantages, for many years they were not
improved but to very limited extent, and
although in the past few years much has
been done, yet there is room for many
more establishments, and we trust that the
day is not far distant when the banks of
the Otter Creek at this place may be lined
with cotton, wooden and wood manufac-
tories, and the city become what it should,
the leading manufacturing town of the
state. Among the manufactures at pres
ent located here are the works of
THE NATIONAL HORSE NAIL COMPANY.
which are situated at the foot of the lower
falls, and rank among the largest on the
river. The company was incorporated
under special act of the legislature in
1869, with cash capital of 100000, fol-

The works consist of one wooden building
100 X 80 feet, with wing 70 30. Tht

hands, their average production being ont

is different from most horse nails, they ar,

To person who has never witnessed

Something About Lake Champaign

A correspondent of the New York Xer-
aid, who has recently visited Valcour
Island to look over the community" gives
his impressions of the lake and islands, as
follows
1t was small but strongly built little
steamboat, the A. Williams, named after
some rich iron dealer who dwet in Platts-
burgh, that pushes its way from behind the
breakwater at Burlington, on Lake Cham
plain, All the chief towns on this lake
have breakwater to shelter their very scanty
commerce, and the Burlington breakwater
has on each end OF the structure II light
house, or, more properly speaking, bea-
con to light the way for the mariners who
have trading TO do between Vermont and
New York or the Canadian border. At
night, as the steamboat plows Its untiring
way through the deep waters of this noble
lake, these beacons can be seen on every
jutting point, and by their red lights the
pilots are enabled to tread the watery paths
that lead to Crown Point, Benson, Ticon-
