 The Forestville mill which has been making a light all-wool fabric for ladies' dress goods, is now making fine scarlet fiannels
 The Orcuttville mill is stopping on ac- count of lack of water, supplemented by dull markets, and this cuts off the water supply from the Forestville mill and en- forces its stoppage. O. Fox & Co.'S mill will not have its new water wheel ready for use before September, probably not much before October, and it looks as if the Mineral Springs mill might be embar- rassed by the holding back of water con- sequent upon all these stoppages. It has steam for power, but needs considerable water for various uses.

 The village is full of big Injins. They are pushing patent medicine, and to draw crowds give free shows nightly, on the hotel park, drawing a promiscuous crowd, including all those ssspoiling for a row." of course.

 CARD FROM THE SCHOOL VISITOR.
 I have sent blanks to all the district school committees in town, which they are required to fill and return on or before the 18th of September, at which time they will also return such teachers registers for the last school year as they have in hand, a number having been already sent in. The blanks, heretofore prefuse1 and elab crate in questions, have been, somewhat expanded since last year, and the. com. mittees will have to give them pretty care, ful attention to save delay and g good deal of extra trouble on the part of the seere- tary. It will be best to make the returns as soon as practicable, and give the secre- tary ample time for review and corrections, In the west parish the returns and regis ters should be sent to Acting Visitor Ellis.
