THE CANNING FACTORY.

After standing at the press for hall
a day last Wednesday, We local con-
cluded he would like to see somebody
else work while, 80 went down to
the Canning Factory. And he was
|abundantly gratified. Three or four
men, half a dozen small boys, fifteen
or twenty little girls, young ladies and
older ladies, were all hard at work,
putting up sweet corn. It is rather an
interesting series of operations, that
by which the corn is prepared for mar
ket and for the benefit of such as have
never seen it, we will describe the pro-
cess. The first thing-like the recipe
for cooking ducks to get the corn
Then it is husked, put into wooden
crates, taken to troughs outside the
building and thoroughly scalded by
steam. Then it is brought in and
turned over to the cutters, who cut the
grain from the cobs, receiving therefor
five cents bucket full. From them
1t is taken to kind ofstrainer through
which it is passed to clean out the silks,
remnants Of husks &C., and then pack
ed into the cans. The cans are placed
in a tight box and steamed for some
time to remove the air, and are then Ia
ken out and "sodered up" After this
they are placed in an iron cage and
run into the process tank where they
receive their final steaming. After be-
ing thoroughly cooked in this tank -
which is of solid iron and looks like a
large safe with the shelves and draw
ers remOved-the corn is at last ready
to be labelled and boxed.
The average capacity of the factory
is 1000 cans daily, and they employ
from twenty-five to thirty hands.
The vast benefit of such an institution
to the town and surrounding country
cannot be fully appreciated until one
sees the work they are doing. This
year of course, the company is labor
ing under the usual disadvantages ex-
perienced in getting under way, but in
spite Of these they will be able to pur-
chase at good prices nearly all orr sur
plus vegetables and small fruits.
Their capacity will Of course increase
with each succeeding year, and it will
not be long until lola IL one Of the best
produce markets in this part of the
state. The company now have ready for
shipment about 1000 pounds of corn,
2, 400 pounds Of rhubarb and 2,100
pounds of tomatoes.

AFTER The FIRE,

We are glad to say that most of the
sufferers by last weeks fire are get
ting their affairs in shape again and
will soon be ready to continue their
business. Messrs. Young & Clark and
Messrs. Richards, Lakin & ireland
have rented Beck's new building and
expect to be ready to wait on custo-
mers tomorrow or the first of next
week. Miss Jennie Thornber, as sta
ted last week, has rented rooms over
the post Office. Mr.. Conley will prob
ably occupy McClure's small building
next to Franklin's barber shop.
Brock Reed has not yet succeeded in
finding a room in which to resume
business, nor have the Clark boys,
but both will probably get to work
soon. The losses have all been ad-
justed by the insurance companies ex-
cept that or Richards, Lakin & Ire
land and w. B. Reed.
1t is q common remark that, al
though little hard on the Individual
losers, q fire is often good thing for
town, and it promises to be 80 in this
case. Young & Clark, we understand,
have bought Beatty's wall and will
begin the erection Of fine stone and
brick building at once. Richards,
Lakin &. Ireland cannot tell until
their losses have been adjusted, what
they will do but think It altogether
probable that they will also begin to
build very soon, while J. w. Mcclure
will doubtless follow suit. Three good
substantial buildings ON the corner of
that block will improve the town al
most beyond recognition. Speaking
of new buildings we may as well re-
mark here, that Henderson & Amrine
are preparing to remove their old
store room, in order to make room for
their new one, upon which work will
be begun at once. All of which Is
proof that our boom still bOometh.

ACADEMY.

We understand that the parties en-
gagged in working up an Academy
here, have transferred their efforts to
Humboldt. When we say that We
didn't want the Academy anyway,
we feel no suggestion of "sour grapes"
We do not think we can be accused of
attempting to discourage any thing
that tends to the educational interests
of the town, but we honestly think that
an Academy is an unnecessary luxury
at present. The school board has adopt
ed high school course that, besides
furnishinga good general education,
prepares students to enter college
and this is the main object of an Acad-
envy. Instead of our burdening our
selves with an Academy that will
starve along and be constant beggar,
let US expend our extra energy in
erecting a new school building, and
supporting good teachers in our pub
lie schools.

LaRtslattve Notes.

Tie Committee on Agriculture has post poned until next week the hearings on bills relating to pollution of streams, destruction of Canada thistles. protection of eagles. wire fences, pounds, etc.
 The Railroad Commissioners have decided to annul all the objections on the grounds of inegality in the articles of association of the New York and Connecticut Air Line road. On February 27 they will begin at Bridgeport an inquiry in regard to the proposed crossings of other railroads by the corporation. The entire number of petitions, resolutions and bills referred to the Judiciary committee considerably exceeded two hundred, and the metnbers are obliged to work from until 6 o'clock every afternoon in order to make he6Sdway at ali. Next week the long hearing on the Sargent bill, exempting foEty days wages from foreign attachment, will com mence and will probably occupy from two to three days A good many adverse reports are submitted by the committee, indicating commendable disposition not to make laws where they are not really needed.
