--Champlsin and Merritt Noyes, BROTH
ers, are reported to have failed with LA
biIities largely in excess of their assets,
1t ia reported that the fax mill, own
ed by the American Standard Flax Spin
ming Company, at Bennington Falls,
which has for three years been idle, has
been leased to the Ames Box Board Com
| pany Of Rochester, N. y, who will soon
commence the manufacture of pulp from
wood. The water power is immense,
and the only reason why it has remained
idle so long is its being at considerable
distance from a railroad station.
/ NEW LEBANON.
twenty-five teams are engaged in
drawing brick from Shaker Depot on the
/ b. d a Railroad TO Mount Lebanon,
which are TO be used in rebuilding the
dwelling house resently destroyed by fire
All are satisfied that the last fire at
the Shaker Village was caused by an in
cendiary. When smoke was first discov-
cred issuing from the cupols, q number
of persons present rushed TO the top floor
where they found three separate fires
/ An attempt TO blow the steam whistle
showed that the wire attached had been
/ cut. This fire together with the one oil
Feb. 9th causes a loss TO the Church
family of nearly 100000. 1t is generally
supposed that the Shakers, particularly
the Church family, are very wealthy, but
this wealth, which has always been esti
mated too high, consists almost entirely
of real estate, which at the present time
cannot be turned into cash without great
sacrifice. The Shakers have accepted o.
( proflered aid, and il is understood they
are ready TO take all that IS offered.
AT the meeting for the election oil
town officers the full democratic ticke
was elected. Joseph II. CLARK, super
visor, was elected by Jos majority.
