 --The new mill of the Warren Wooleu Go. IS now nearly in running condition, the machinery being mostly all on thepfem ises, and some of 1t running. It attracts much attention, being different from any before set up in the place. It is imported because it is to do.a class Of work that has been vay little done ill this country, hence American inventors and artisans have been giving very little, attsntion to the appli ances fof its execution. It is pity that we are not to count on immediate benefits to our village from the erection of this building. but the managers of the con- cern are not encouraged by the business prospects, and talk openly of closing theil entire mill for time. They see little ground for hope of better bushes so long as tariff agita ton and free trade talk con. tinues. We do not learn that they have even to stop, but it is certain that the line : of goods they are getting ready to make needs the continued protection of duties cannot hn rarOf1to to hlxy mo 6G without it, except by reducing wages te the same figures as those paid by theil foreign competitors. The new building . is 1O6x60 feet, three stories besides base ment, which is like the rest fitted for ma chinery. It is of brick, and handsome in external and internal finish. The entrance is through tower, over which is 8 gran. ite stone, on which is cut in large bold characters the initials sof the company, ard figures 1883, this being the work of David Bissett. Each floor Iof the tower has 8 water closet and wash stand, and in the upper part are great tanks of ample supply of water, which is conducted over all the rooms, leading to automatic sprinklers. Should fire occur in any room, the in. crease of temperature would set the near est sprinklers to discharging and at the same time revolving, So as to thoroughly wet everything near them, at the same time the current set in motion in the dis charge pipe of the tank would sound an alarm in the engine room. Attached tc the mill is another building of brick, con taining boiler, engine, sorting and dyeing rooms. The engine is a Harris -Corliss oi 175 horsepower, and the boiler is Bab cock tubular, having a system of water pipes in immediate contact with the fire. The product of the new mill is to be fine yarn, to use in making worsted cloths in the old mill adjoining. A superior grade of wool is required, and the first step after the wool is sorted is to put it in to a long tank, where automatic fingers keep working it toward the other end finally passing it over hot cylinder, dis: charges it cleansed and nearly dry. Other machines properly oil, and so it goes on, through combing and further drawing out, step by step, gradually growing into fine even thread, which is doubled and twisted into a yarn ready for weaving. The new department is mainly in charge (pnder the infringement of Supt Cullen) of MT. Mag; ner, who is rapidly bringing the new ma 1ehinarv iu3zo T,sa
