ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE.--it is
with deep regret, that we are called
upon to announce the death of Deacon
Malcolm Buchanan of this town, which
occurred at his residence, Sunday, the
24ta inst. lie was universally respect
ed as an upright and worthy citizen,
and this community loses man whose
place will be hard to ill.
He was born in Scotland, near Pals
ley on the Clyde, and came to this
country at the age of nineteen years,
to join his father family, which came
few years previous, to assist them in
making home in this their adopted
country, lie located in Derby, VT,
where he lived several years. and there
married his wife, GENTLY Holt,) who
survives him. Early in life he found
the Saviour precious to his soul, and
committed all his ways to Him, and
united with the Congregational church
in the town of Darby. From Derby,
they moved to Holland, VT, where
was born to them six daughters and
one son, th1 Latter aal four daughters
survive him, and were all present at
the death and burial of their beloved
father. In his social circle lac was Just
ly esteemed and loved, and there are
many who have enjoyed a life long
acquaintance with him, who will look
in vain over the list of the departed to
find one who was more personally loyal
to friendship and to truth.

OUR NUMBERING INTEREsTS.--The
grim spectre of hard times has depart
ed, and we no longer need to listen to
the reports of increased business activi.
ty from down country" to convince
ourselves of this fact; we have only to
glance about us in our own town for
its confirmation. This evidence of
good times cannot but bring pleasure
to the hearts of the early settlers of this
town, for they now see that the natnr-
al advantages which first attracted
them here, are not only appreciated,
but soon to be utilized. More especial
ly does this apply to the numbering
business. About four years ago, the
mbering interests of Island Pond re-
ceived severe blow in the burning of
the mill /; but the eject of this blow
did not last long, as the natural ad-
vantages were too great to be vitality
affected and ia a short time anoLher
mill stood ON the site of the old one.
The property had in the meantime
changed hands, Mr.. Geo. Ii. Fitzgerald
becoming its proprietor. Through lIis
enterprise, an extensive lumber trade
sprang up, so extensive, in last, that
although the mill is running aG It's full
capacity, night aud day, llr. 4. has
found it Impossible 10 supply his Gus
toners, with his present mAnufactur-
faciliues. 10 remedy this, Mr.. +. has
commenced work OH a new mill, which
will stand beside the one now owned
by MIN. II will be 40 feet wide and
! fifty in length, and Will contain one
run of Buhr stones for grist work, and
will be SO located as 10 be within easy
access to the public. This mill will al
] so contain one planer, one edger, one
/ bench saw, and machinery for working
hardwood. 1t will be connected with
the old one by shafung, AS both mills
will be run with one engine. For this
purpose, a larger engine than the one
now in use will be put in, which it is
expected will give about IS horse pow
er. We understand that Mr.. j. B..
Grindell is also interested in the new
mill, but to what extent, we have not
ascertained We repeat that such evil
dence as this Of good times, is most
/ gratifying. Ttais one instance alone,
will in time assume the greatest iis-
portance in theprosperity OF our town ;
for surrounded as we are by nearly A.
600 acres Of tim Der lands not easily ac-
cessible from any other point, it holds
out Inducements which cannot long
wait for takers. Already the lumber
mans axe has made deep indentionsin
the forests of our noble dreen Mount
aims, and we foresee the time when
they, in name, will be but thing OF
the past; and while this may bring
painful thoughts to the minds of many
yet they cannot but feel gratified when
they think of the wealthy and cultivat-
ed villages which must spring up In
consequence Of such prosperity.
