A Pleasant Visit.

The visit to Willimantic mills by Governor Bigelow and party Thursday is spoken of with much pleasure by the participants, and was much enjoyed. The party consisted of Governor and Mrs. Bigelow, Lieutenant Gov- ernor Bulkeley, wife and daughter, and the members ofkthe Governors staff and ladies, in all there being about twenty. reception was given in honor of the ladies by Colonel Barrows, of the mills, at his new and fine residence, the Oaks, which is handsomely sit uated on an eminence. The house is of unique and original design, unlike any other in the State. A description of it was given in recent number of the Century. Colonel Barrows has recently completed twenty five additional houses for the ope .atiyes. They are each different in design and color and very pretty and inviting, and present pie turesque effect. Colonel Barrows has just purchased grove for the of the mill hands, and erected in it 8 large and fine danc- ing pavilion, swings, etc., and once week the hands have picnic there, on Saturday after moons. The property of the Willimantlc company includes immense mills, many tene- ment houses, groves, etc., and 1,6OO hands are employed Colonel Barrows had recent ly placed in his hands $1 1900, 900 which was expended in the erection of new shop, which is over quarter of mile long. The company has free library at the mills for the use of the employees. They have also large store for the benefit of the hands, furnishing dry goods, groceries, etc., at cost prices, and buyers being limited to the mill hands. Two thousand foliage and blooming plants adorn the mills, which on the whole seem to be Arcadia Another point of interest is the beautiful floral garden at each tenement house. Emulationin raising flowers was melted by the offer of handsome premiums. The company also gives it's hands drink of either coffee or milk, we forget which, at an intermission during working hours. This humane regard fop employees is reoiprocated, the employees fne4ng it to their interest to do good service, ,.and having an in,nuIse thereto. S
