and started hub factory at this place.
It was new business to the boys. and
they had to learn it. They had to ac-
quaint themselves with all the mfnutiH
and details of the machinery, all the
qualities of the material used. with
every feature of the market. This
they did after much uphill work.
They never called upon the commune
ty for cent. They thought they saw
profit in the business. and managed
it to that end. They furnish employ
ment to considerable number of men.
and a market to a very large number
of people for timber they otherwise
would be unable to dispose of. Sup
pose these gentlemen should want to
enlarge their business, or get into diff
ficulties; how macy dollars would be
subscribed to assist them? A list of
the kind would be treated with derision
by many of the people who are now
willing to subscribe to the new wooden
factory. We would not throw single
obstacle in the way OF the new enter
prise. We say to the gentlemen en-
gagged in it, make a success of it if you
can. But we think there is no occas-
sion for gush. The facts will speak
for themselves. One other thought is
suggested in this connection. The lot
whereon the mill is being built is in
the finest residence portion of town,
and the presence of a factory there is
not desirable addition. 1t is certain
to decrease the value of residences adj
jacent. and make them less acceptable
to those who have built unto them
selves permanent homes with pleasant

opposition to the just interests of any
portion of that community. The sub
stantlal assistance given, as we'll the
exercise of ordinary good judgment, it
seems to us. should avert any such not

Ed. Register-The festive hog-thiei
is abroad in the land, aud he seems to
have taken unto himself a help meat

Benson having lost two yearlings, one
of which was killed in the woods. A
fine sow belonging to the widow OF
Howell Lloyd. ST., came up with gun
shot wound in the shoulder from which
she was still bleeding. Being fat, she
was killed for meat. D. w. Paris
found one of his hogs in a neighbours
pen, and Riley Harris is said to have
found some of his hogs in the same
pen. Under these circumstances the
question whether are we drifting?''
is not Inappropriate. The writer was
once on the Pacific coast and remark
ed the great respect for the rights of
property. In many localities articles
of value might be left exposed, with
out the slightest danger of loss. Speak
lug of this to resident of the place,
he informed me that In the early days
theft was so frequent that honest peo-
pie found it necessary to band together
for self-preservation. To cure this
public evil necktie parties were in
stituted, and sometimes the candidate
was elevated to the sublime degree Of
strangulation for the price of an iron
wedge which he had allowed to stick
to his fingers. While we would not
favor the admission of members so
cheap, it sometimes occurs to me that
an organization requiring more respect
for the rights of property would find
plenty of work here-for a time, at any
rate.

hole into which it had been driven,
but across the room (Which is the

and against the wall on the other side!
A repetition of the operation met with
the same result. The nail absolutely
refused to stay in that hole in the wall,
and still refuses to stay, and when
pressed in and suddenly released will
fly across the room, as before. If any
one doubts this story, let him apply
to Mr.. L. at the station here, and have
his incredulity wiped out by actual
demonstration.
