whom are yet living in other parts Of the
land. while many more have crossed over
the river-retum and visit the scenes of
their former labors, they would be sur
prised andno doubt mortified at the changes
that have taken place in the surroundings
that were once so familiar to them and
upon which they earned their living and
gained their well deserved reputation. The
yard formerly owned and occupied by the
Black Brothers, few hundred yards from
town, is now overgrown with bramble, and
in strange contrast to what it was when
these indefatigable men with their corps of
splendid workmen were sending out beau
tiful and well built vessels upon the oceans
wave But alas these brothers have
passed away,a and it is safe to say that yard !
is closed for that purpose forever. The /
other main yards, owned by Ex-Governor |
Ponder, and which have been managed at
various times BY various contractors, now
present a look that is by no means pleas
ing-where stately schooners of heavy ton
mage were once on the stocks, and from
fifty to sixty men daily engaged in their
structure, all is now silent; and when the
lumber and other building material once
shewed the ground, the plow has turned
the sod and the land is in a state of cultva-
ton. II is safe to predict that that indus
try has passed away from Milton, never to
return as formerly, while new occupations
will no doubt take its place. How is it
hat in the upper part of this State, and in Z
'ther States, more money is paid for lum-
ser and more money is paid for wages than 1
n this locality and vessels are built cheaper A
