A VILLAGE SOLD AT AUCTION.

David Felt, New York stationer, bought
600 acres of land in beautiful part of Union
county, n. j., and laid it out as village thir-
ty-eight years ago. The place is in a lovely
valley. 1t was named after its owner-Felt-
vile. Mr.. Felt built two paper mills and set
them running. He also built number of
pretty cottages for his employees and church,
a school house, and other edifces Twenty
years later he sold the place to patent medi
cine man, Mr. Townsend. Townsend became
embarrassed borrowed from the Globe Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York 100000,
giving a mortgage on the place, and finally
was unable to pay the interest. The company
foreclosed and took the property. Since then
the Globe Mutual has passed into the hands of
a receiver, James d. Fish. Meanwhile Felt
Vile became a deserted village. Her mills
stopped and the people sought work elsewhere.
Decay and desolation took the place of the old
hustle and thrift. Recently receiver, desir-
Gus of winding up the affairs of the company,
applied to the Chancellor for an order to sell
the village. The order was granted, and on
Wednesday last in the Court House at Eliza
beth the sheriff of Union county sold Feltville
at public auction.
