many fine traits which were quite

In consequence of the removal of ID.

of Mclndoe's and vicinity will lose the
professional services of Dr. Norcross.
1t is about three Years since the Doctor
came to this village. an entire stranger,
and during that time his genial ways
and sympathy for the sick aud suffer
ing have apparently secured for him a
laIge and lucrative practice. While
his many patrons regret that the force
of circumstances compel him to leave
them to an uncertain successor. they
feel disposed to speak for him abundant
success III whatever field he may choose

The work of rebuilding at the mill
site goes on slowly. Evidently the
present proprietor believes that work
well done is twice done. and for that
reason makes haste slowly. At present

| labor is being expended in removing
the ledge under the mill to give room
tor additional machinery in the base
ment.

NoRRIS's SHOP BURNED.-A. b. Mel
ris's bObbin shop was burned Thursday
night, of last week. The fire was dis
covered by Mr.. McGill, one of the work
men, about 10 o'clock, and the alarm
given. The fire started in the secOad
story, and, owing to the fine dust made
by sand-papering, quickly spread tire
the whole building. The men had not
more than ten minutes to work inside
and saved only five lathes and a plan
er. There was Il large amount of ma
chinery in the shop, and quantity of
Robbins and mallet-handles ready for
shipment. The store house and ten
eMent belonging to Mr.. Norris, both
caught fire and the goods were mostly
removed, but the fire was put out with
little damage to either. There was in
surance i'll different companies amount
ing to between $1,000 and 5000, and
the loss above insurance must be con
siderable. The shop was about 3OXSO
feet, with machinery on three floors,
and employed about 20 hands
and girls-in making bobbins, croquet
mallets, boxes. spring beds, etc. There
is no satisfactory origin of the fire. The
shop had been inspected less than an
hour before, when the fires were out
and everything right. The machinery
but it is not probable that it caught
from friction so soon. Mr.. Norris was
in Massachusetts at the time. His shop
was burned here thirteen years ago
