Reports from almost every quarter in
dictate that business never was better,
though prices were higher during infa-
ton times. Almost every factory in the
country is in operation, the iron business
and other things that depend on this i'm
portant branch are all in prosperity; the
lumbermen are all at work during the
winter and everybody, everywhere is busy
who desires to work. If this business
boom is not exploded by the political ex-
citement of the year, there is no reason
why this year 1880 may not be very
prosperous one for the whole country.

One of the most horrible tramp crimes
on record was perpetrated at Groton,

Crue, and then outraged her body. The
husband was at work in the woods at
the time. It is believed that the wretch
has been discovered. He is now is Jail.

to such high prices as to forbid an ex-
port demand, and the elevators, store
houses and granaries, the county over
are burdened with grain. If the holding
of grain at high prices by spectators
could compel an increase in prices
abroad, it would be an advantage at
home, but England, our best customer,
buys her grain of the world, and only
patronizes the United States when our
crops are as low or lower than,they can
be purchased elsewhere. If the holders
of grain here insist on keeping prices
up, they must suffer loss when the break
comes, as come it must sooner or later.
It would seem to be wisdom to so hold
our grain that Europe can buy the i'm
mense surplus on hand at reasonable
prices. With very heavy expectation
of grain there is great inflow of gold,
which not only helps keep the nations
finances in healthy condition, but puts
dollar or more for every bushel sold
into the pocket of some American produc-
er. If our products will sell at profit
| abroad, it is pity to put them at SO
high prices as to lose our markets.

Hill and the D. A. Winslow places, and
the mill was built. Very unfortunately
it was destroyed by fire in a few months.
Soon after, perhaps in 1906. Capt. Medad
Hitchcock put up a saw mill. and in a
year or two his son, Thomas. erected
grist mill. The towns were much bene-
flied by these mills. The inhabitants Of
Troy for several years had their saving
done at the Hitchcock mills, as we'll as
their grinding. In earlier times they
carried their grain to Richford in canoes.
AS the communities grew to better cir
cumstances, mills were erected in conven-
lent places in all the valley towns. and
no further inconvenience was suffered.
In a later paper mention will be
made of the mills now doing business in
connection with the lumber business.

Sir Henry Rawlnson has evidently been received with
favor by the Ministry. The capture of Ghuznee Will
