there has been full head of water, and
the mills have not been slow to use it.
There are today twenty mills in opera
ton, and at their fullest capacity. Only
three remain idle, one Of these having
its power apparatus under rerair, and
the other two being without modern
equipments. The number of engines
in use has been reduced from eight to
two, and these are kept come cted only
to be used IN the possible emergency Of
the water being drawn down. There is
an evident desire to run as strong as
possible, and everybody seems to be

two noses, two separate sets of teeth and
four eyes, all fully developed and ready for

tails and several other appendages.
