The First Worsted Mill.

Sirew Smith, in the Manufacturer.
1t is now just 100 years ago since
John Sugden crossed over from Ha-
worth and settled at Dockroyd. That
was an important period in the COM
mercial history of our country, for the
great discoveries of Hargreaves, Wy
att, Arkwright and others, followed
by Watt with his improved steam en-
CINE, were about to effect a COM
plete revolution in our indus
tries, and about that time was
laid the foundation of the trade
which had done so much for that
valley. He referred to the founda-
ton of the earliest worsted mills, and
mention that the third and fourth
were established at Leeming, little
way up the valley, and Hewenden,
about 1792. 1t might, therefore, be
said that that district had been the
very cradle of the mechanical spin
ming of worsted.
Mr.. John Sugden employed about
nalf-dozen hand combers, and used
to send his tops into the hamlets or
the farm houses of the district, where
the good wife's shuttle could then be
seen merrily flashing through the
loom.
The manufacturers at that time car
ried many of their pieces to the Hall
fax Piece hall. In the year 1906 a
great event took place in that village
by the founding, by John Sugden, OF
Providence mill, and he supposed that
terror was struck into the hearts of
the nand spinners, who feared they
would lose their occupation, by which
strong girls l shilling 6 pence per
week. Mr.. Sudgen began with three
spinning frames of probably sixty to
eighty spindles each, and from that
time the firm had steadily pro-
crossed.

A Haunted Inn.

New York Herald.
In Copake, about two miles below
the village of Hillsdale, there was,
thirty or forty years ago, an ola mouse
where tavern had been kept. Ohe
John Shafer kept a tavern tnere De-
fore this time, and finally the place
began to have an uncanDy reputation.
An old man named Vandeusen was
passing the house one night, when he
saw black, nondescript, headless
animal 90 from the house about lOO
feet to an old we'll, where 1t dlsap-
peared. His horse was terribly
frightened and came near throwing
his rider.
A Young lady who taught school in
the district and boarded around staid
there a couple of days, but could not
control her nerves any longer. There
was a heavy door that lead into her
he'd room, which she locked and
bolted. but after she had retired she
heard footsteps and the door would
fiy open. She heard clanking of
chains ana noises like the falling Of
clods upon q coffin. She told her host
ess, but the latter insisted that it
must be her imagination. But the
old we'll was filled up one summer
and another one was dug.
The old house has been torn away
for many years, and new, smart
farm house occupies the site.
Since the war there have been no
we'll authenticated ghost stories. But
in the old times many an old man
and young one, too, for that matter
who had occasion to 60 from Hills
dale to Copake after dark, took the
west road, and gave that spot the 60
by. At one time that place stood
higher than any one of q half dozen
in that vicinity in the folklore. 1t
had its story of disappearing ped
dler, which used to be ascribed as q
reason in many cases. But who he
was and when he disappeared there
is probably, no one living that can
today tell, except from unreliable
hearsay.

Ghosts on the Track.

out of my memory. 1t happened on
the old Brunswick and Western rail-
road. / had taken a young map-
a tramp-on the engine with me.
He was a northern man, who had
been south for his health and had
got broke in Florida. He was going

pleasure.
"The fellow had consumption, and

out of the cab he tumbled, and then
under the engine! heard the wheels

reach that spot, seemed to hear a
shrek and then the grinding of the
wheels on human bones. / couldn' t

that he saw the man picking up his

there was nothing in that. But for
