 Don't fiatter yourself that you may be entertaining an angel unawares when a rag picker comes into your yard. Ten to one he is 8 thief. Nominally he is picking up waste, but he prefers picking up valn- ables, and will do it when he gets chance. Some aggravating instances have been known recently for instance, the removal of the contents of a mattress, put out for airing, for the sake of stealing the ticking.

 The Central Woolen Company is now in full operation, and supplied with machine ry. except in 80 far as use may demonstrate the necessity of Governing up" the fitting for different parts of the work to make uniformity of product This company, if is known, have for plant the old Granite (cotton) mill on Furnace-ave. The mill has been enlarged by an addition of 2s feet to the length of the main building, and of the same material granite. New floors have been laid throughout the build ing, additional stairways made, and paint and whitewash, etc. used wherever there was need of it. Water closets are pro. vided on every floor, and the mill is in every respect put ill first-class condition. New boilers have been put in, made by Allen of Worcester. The mill had been provided just before it's sale to the present owners with Rodney Hunt wheel, one of the best, and now large iron pipe takes the place of the old wooden race-way for the conveyance of water to the wheel, giv- ing more room. New brick dye and boiler houses have also been built.
 The machinery is all of best modern and latest models. Two of the chief owners are also chief owners of the nearly new Riverside mill at Stafford Hollow, and have the advantage of experience in having recently fitted up that mill. There are four sets of Davis 6 Furbef's AS S.inch cards; four 360 spindle mules of same make; sixteen high-speed Crompton looms; dressers, picker, beamer and spool CT made by Davis & Furber. The finish ing machinery consists of Rodney Hunt Co.'S. fulling mills, one washer, 6-4 Cess ner gig, GA double acting gig, up and down gig, Park 6 Woolson's brush and shear. The hydro extractor is of W. w. Tolhaust & Go. s make flock cutter by Curtis & Marble; double bed Miller press. Holt & Burwell of the borough built the flock blower, cloth winder and stretcher. The dryer was built by John Heathcote. and is fine machine for it's purpose.
 The cards are supplied with automatic feeders, which fill trays to certain weight, stop, dump their product to feed the cards, and start up again, minding their own business, most faithfully, and working, ii would almost seem, intelligently. These are new invention. All the rooms have fire protection throughout by automatic sprinklers, behind which are the pressure of aqueduct water. The wool is dried by . forced draught of cold air. It is found necessary to add to the outfit four more looms and another 36O spindle mule, and the order has been given for the same. The officers of the Central woolen corpora. ton are ". M. Corbin, president; R. G. Beebe, secretary and treasurer Cyril Johnson, agent. The superintendent is Oscar Snnderhauf, for three years past de. signer at the mills of James o. Inman & Go, Pascoag, R. l., and also having been in charge of other mills. Those in charge of different departments are: Weaving, Wallace Morse; carding, Charles Brom- Icy; spinning.
