The Old Landmark Gone,

Last Friday the old "Potash" was
pushed down and ON Saturday fire
was set to it and its place is now only
marked by bare walls and ashes.
This building was erected in "ye
early days" Possibly but two men
in town can remember the time. 1t
was built for the purpose of making
potash and was used therefor a good
many years. Its history would bring
out many points in early times now
forgotten. Possibly our old friend,
Mr.. Jacob Baldwin, now of York
town, H., could give us some inter-
esting "reminiscences. The SITTER
would be pleased to hear from him.

The Glebc Cheese Factory.

This is the designation given the
the cheese factory in this place, SO named
from the nearby mountain bearing that
cognomen. This factory is located in
the large shop room built and formerly
Occupied by A. ID. Whitman, and is a
model in capacity and conveniences, there
being an abundance of room for all the
requirements of the business including
capacionS rooms for curing. 1t is within
a few minutes walk of stores, poSt-office
and churches-of the latter our friend
Dunn has but little use, not that he isn't
staid and good citizen with full de-
velopment of reverence and generation,
but, that the cows will persist in giving
the regulation quantity of milk Saturday
nights and Sunday mornings-and it
must be attended to-but without doubt
he silently and reverently says his prayers
while working over his Curl.
Whoever may visit this establishment
none can fail to be impressed at once by
the order and neatness that is apparent
everywhere. 1t pewades every uook and
corner and is seen in connection with all
the operations from the time the milk is
received in the morning until il is stored
in the afternoon, on the second floor in
the shape of big round cheeses. This JUS
titles the conclusion that Mr.. Dunn is
the right man in the right place and as
sures the success of the enterprise,
The first milk was taken in on the 9th
inst. amounting to 1880 pounds. Thi S
has been steadily increased from day to
day until the amount received reached
on Tuesday the handsome sum of 3,075
pounds. This will be still further in
creased, and will be, it is confidently be-
lieved, doubled, if ont more, the com ing
year, and the SITTER congratulates its
| farmer friends upon the favorable out
look in connection with this enterprise.
