A Remarkable Family,

In the family of Emery and Melissa NJ. Cunning
ham, of swanyille, there are nine chldren-eight
boys and one daughter. Their names are Clarence
Frank, VIII, Fred, Herbert, Henry, Albert Eddie,
and Carrie NJ. The oldest is about 81 and the
youngest Is. With the exception of the Oldest,
Clarence, all the family live in Swanville. The
boys are all natural mechanics. A year or two ago
Frank, VIII, Fred and Herbert, formed cO-part-
nershp in the mill, wood working and carriage
business. The other boys also work in the mill but
are hired. They believe they can do well at home
rs abroad and are demonstrating the fact by doing
a large amount of business. Their mill is situated
at the dam at the outlet of Swain Lake, and is
good privilege. Lumber, shingles, &C., are man.
nfactured, and in addition grist mill is run. They
also manufacture carriages, doing all the work
themselves. 1t is in this branch that they display
their ingenuity. One is excellent wood worker,
another does the blacksmithing, another the trim
ming and still another the painting, and under
their several hands complete carriage is turned
out. Albert is also engineer Of the little steamer
on the lake. The parents arc justly proud of their
boys.

The Boston Herald terms Senator Frve's
able and eloquent speech in behalf of Ameri-

be unwelcome to the free trade caba now in
power.
