 Who will buy the Fox mill property nextThursday This is an important ques- tion to Stafford Springs. It will be sold, no doubt. It is important that it go into the hands of parties whose conduct of it First-that it may be some one now resi- dent of or locally interested. Or-some one who will become a resident of, and therefore interested in the town. The property will go cheap, that is sure, and therefore the buyer will be envied when too late by those who let pass the chance to stand in his Cor their) place. We are all interested in this sale, very much so. A full description of the property to be sold is given in advertisement. In addi- tion to the mill sale is to be made of wood and sprout land in various places, also carriages, harness, stable articles, office furniture. mill stock and supplies.
 The Wilbraham woolen mill, situ- ated short distance east of North Will braham, (Mass.) depot, was burned last Saturday morning, fire catching in the spinning room about 6.30, and quickly re- ducing building and contents to ashes. The insurance on the burned property was about $30,000, the loss being about twice that amount. F. H. Baker, of Staf- ford Springs, is president of the company and l.. B. Baker treasurer. The plant was bought few years ago of D. w. FL lis, and had recently been fitted, at con- siderable outlay for new machinery, for making fine cloakings, upon which it was successfully running. The store house was saved, also the picker house, which was fire-proof. A new boarding house just competed, at a cost of $2,000, also remains. These, with the excellent water power, are the only incentive to rebuild ing, as the location is not especially ad- vantageous. The mill contained a good engine, which furnished power at such infrequent times as the supply of water was inadequate.
 Mondays auction made things lively. The trains came in loaded with horsemen, and the harges were busy transporting people between the borough and Need hams stables. Bidding was brisk, good prices were realized, and there was a pretty general clearing out of the stock. Needham has lots of friends, who helped spread news of the sale, induce good at tendance, and encourage buying.
