izers in the country, and taken the
rooms over S. Aliens slate mills Mr.. Allen
is now building another mill, 40xl00, for
their sole use. When they get in shape
they will have room for some forty cutters,
which will employ force all told of some
seventy men, who will have their pay each
month, in money, which will enable them
to secure the best workmen to be had.
They will make the best of work Upon
the whole, this is the best thing that has
taken place for the town since the New
Workers left to get out of the way of the
Beech seal. White beech money will, in
the future be sold at a heavy discount.
| understand there are orders among the
various slate producers for some 10000
squares OF green slate, to be shipped to Eu-
rope. This will enable us to save, for the
use Of this country, some $50, 600 gold that
has been sent to Europe to pay for fancy
iixiDgs. Several years ago | wrote the m
dependent that slate would yet be an article
of export. Every dollar we save at home
and send the products of our soil TO pay
tor what we buy of other countries but en-
riches US. l am satisfied the position taken
by me on this question for the past eight
years was right, although have been person
ally assailed for my course. | am satisfied 1t
will be for the interest of the country.
Looking at the slate business upon every
side only one conclusion can be drawn
that Is, when the business shall be correct
ly conducted upon business principles, and
few men shall not attempt to control the
business for their own personal benefit, it
will be the best business in New England
one reason, the buyers of slate are better
pay as general thing, than the buyers of
other commodities manufactured. One
dealer here told me they had only two
protested notes the past year. When slate
is called for by foreign lands it must be a
paying business producing it. The mantle
business can be carried on with no other
slate than the slate on this range because
other slate is too hard to work. Believing
| have been right in my position, must
maintain it. &
GRANVILLE, n. Y.
Since the slate quarries in the adjoining
town of Pawltt we're opened, five or six
years ago, the wealth, population, dwell
ings and shops for business facilities have
fully doubled in this place. Quite as many
new buildings are going up tns year as In

ment pervades the place.
The village is extending rapidly on Qua
ker street and on the new road that con
meets the turnpike with the so called shun-

slate to the depot. Capitalists are settling
in to considerable extent, and the day is
not distant when this village, which pre-
sents so many natural advantages, will
eclipse Middle Granville, which a few
years since had very rapid growth.
