New CANNING FACToRY.--Mr. Sam'l W.
Hall, who has been operating so largely in
the canning business at Frederick and who
sold out week or so ago to Messrs. Rey.
nolds & Postles, has this week bought of
Ephraim S. Garrison a piece of ground con.
tanning 143 acres near Leipsic for the
purpose of erecting large canning factory
thereon. The price paid for the land was
$l,450. The place is at Redman's Land
ing" or Drawbridge just across the creek
from Leipsic, in Duck Creek Hundred.
This place was selected, we presume, be-
cause of its location on this fine stream,
giving him every advantage of water COM
munication. In addition TO the factory
Mr.. Hall intends to also erect several dwell
lings for the occupancy of persons connec-
Ted with the establishment. 1t will be an
important enterprise to the town of Leip.
