LEIcEsTER-O Our little town has shared
in the general hamilton OF late SO that
there has been no news 10 write and your
correspondent not being one of that class

have purchased the Leicester Mineral
PANTY Works" and all thereunto apper.

ore to be shipped to their furnaces in
New York. The ore found in these beds

Mr.. VIM. Powers has been putting in
a windmill apparatus for raising water
to his house. BY means Of pump the
water is raised 20 the top Of hill south
of his house and runs from a reservoir
thence to the house. OF course this will
involve considerable outlay but if success
full as every indication seems to predictit
will amply repay the cost. We are glad
, to note the introduction Of this old-time
power into our midst and 1T shall bring
with it old time memories to the genera
ton that is so rapidly passing away they
may not perhaps be unwelcome.
The Good Tempars and Changers as

seeming to outward eyes content and at
peace with all mankind, themselves in
particular. May the Good Templars
dream ever as sweetly as now of going
to East Middlehury," rovel among goods
