BUSINESS ON THE RIvER.-The mills
and shops on the river in this village
have been usually busy the past sea-
son. Mr.. Mosman, at the chair shop
has been driven with orders from the
Fitchburgh factories all the past sea-
son, and his mill has run almost every
day for the past year. The amount of
timber worked up has been large, and
the number of hands continually employ
ed from eighteen to twenty-five.
At the G. B. Stone gristmill there has
been large run of custom grinding and
the miller has Toured several car loads
of western wheat. Of late the mill has
been filled up with large supply of
grain, feed and -four for the trade. The
Bickford carriage shop has been improv-
ed by the putting in of blacksmith
shop, and considerable carriage machin-
cry, Mr.. Bickford has been very busy
and during the fall has got out large
lot of numbering sleds. At the Dever-
eaux shop business has not been quite
as lively as heretofore, though several
hands have been employed there most
of the time. Of late party has beer
at work getting out beds and rails. The
Baldwin & Drew mill has cut out a
million or more feet of lumber, the past
season. and is now engaged on the new
stock. Lumber has not sold as readily
as heretofore. The mill will be well
stocked this winter. At the Ufford car
riage shop there has been no signs of
seriously hard times. The usual num-
Der of hands have been employed and
about $50 carriages are sold this year.
A hundred wagons are being made for
the next season. The G. A. Drew sash,
door and job shop has had its usually
good supply of business. Mr.. Drew has
sold good deal of work that has gone
out of town, and done a good deal for
home parties. His work is we'll done
and gives excellent satisfaction. In the
next shop, Frost & Stratton have be-
gun the manufacture Of the Eastlake
furniture, which finds good home sale
and is called for in the Boston market.
At the Machine shop and foundry j. W.
Murkland has done a larger business
than heretofore. He employs several
hands in the foundry and is getting out
large amount of farm machinery, su.
gar arches, &c. He will make from
sixty to eighty sugar arches this season
These convenient and cheap arches are
very much liked by all sugar makers
Henry Gay. wool carder and dealer il
wooden goods, has his shop in the Murk
land building, and has kept his machines
trundling most of the year. His sales
are on the increase. While speaking
of the business in this part of the vii
lage, mention ought to be made of tn,
blacksmith shop, where o. V. Joslyr
may be found, at any hour of the day
and almost every day in the year, read,
to do neat, spry job of work. H
doesn't do any Dragging himself, Blu
may permit good word to be said o
him if he does not hear of it until it il
printed. On the whole, there is n,
cause of complaint in regard to the bus
mess done on the river the past season.
