E. L. Hovey has sold the lot upon
which the Dwinell house was burned
last Christmas, to Mr.. Alfred Adams,
for $3.50.
Mr.. Dan. P. Celley is having his door
yard graded with sand this week, which
will be quite an improvement.
Mr.. VIM. Wells, son-in-law of Mr..
Joseph Hill, and who recently moved to
this place from Springfield Mass, has
gone to work at the scale shops.
Mr.. S. H. Mute, a workman in the
Hoe and Fork factory, who has lived
some time in one of E. L. Hovey's
houses, has moved into the house of
Mrs. William Owen. Mr.. VIM. H.
Carr of Waterford moves into the house
vacated by Mr.. Mute.
Mr. Royal Cummings, job printer,
moves his family from the Odd Fellows
block to a tenement in Joseph Forests
house on Elm street.
The committee of this school district
would suggest to those families that
have had the canker-rash, that it would

The schools commence next Monday.
Mr.. Henry Rickaby has bought a
building lot just opposite to his house,
of the Hoe and Fork company, for

Charles Gaskill has been building an

Patrick Brown, of Caledonia street,
has two children quite sick with pneu-

Purchase of Water Power.

Mr.. Horace Carpenter has purchased
all the interest of the t. r. Fairbanks
estate in the old steam mill property
near the depot in this place. Price
given, 81 800. This gives Mr.. Carpen-
ter and J. M. Warner all the real estate
and buildings, and one-feurth of the
water power. The other three-fourths
is owned by E. 81 T. Fairbanks & Co.
In connection with this transfer of
property, there are rumOrs of an at
tempt to induce some manufacturing
company to establish themselves at this
point and use some part of this water
power, the most of which is now idle.
With this end in view, we learn that
Capt. Blodgett has gone to New York to
consult with company there which
Richard Peabody has been getting up
to manufacture patent wrench. This
location is an excellent one for manu-
featuring purposes, and it will not be
strange if the fact is ascertained before
long. In fact we understand that the
owners of this property have contem-
plated for some time the erection of a
large building to rent for manufacture
ing purposes, and that there is some
prospect of erecting such factory the
present summer. Such a movement
would give new impetus and value to
the business of our town.
