Thomas W. Knox,

The death of Colonel Thomas W. Knox,
native of Pembroke, n. H., robs litera-
ture of an interesting figure and closes an
active and an eventful career Colonel
Knox was born in Pembroke sixty Yeas
ago and early in the course of his long and
busy life he was employed as an editor of
the Monitor and Statesman. Seeking a
wider field of labor he entered journalism
in New Iork and afterward saw service in
the War of the Rebellion where he varied
his military duties by serving as cor
respondent in the field. After the war
he travelled extensively and gave to
the world a series of books of travel
which were both interesting and in
structive. ''The Boy Travellers with
whom Colonel Knox encircled the globe
are familiar figures in juvenile literature
who endeared themselves to children of
an older growth as we'll. Colonel Knox s
editorial labors were uninterruptedly con
tinued until his death and his long con-
nection with that splendid newspaper,
The New York Sun, bespake the high
high character of his journalistic attain
ments. His death is a genuine loss to
New Hampshire, despite the fact that he
long since ceased to be resident of the
State, inasmuch as his faithful labors,
productive of growing fame, redounded
to the credit of his native commonwealth
in almost equal measure as they benefited
him. Concord Monitor.

Good News for Granite Cutters.

ONE HUNDRED MORE MEN TO BE EMPLOY
ED AT LEADBETTER' S ISLAND.
V1NALHAvEN, Jan. s. Especial to Rock
land Starr Good news for stone cut tiers
That's what the visit of Joseph Leopold,
secretary of the National Granite Com
pany of New York to this section during
the past week means. The remainder of
Leadbetter's Island, not before operated
by this company, has been leased for a
term of years, and a new boarding house
for the accommodation of over 100 men
will be erected, as well as a new wharf
south of the old one, in order to make it
possible for large vessels to load there.
The contract just awarded to this com
pany will supply work for over 100 men,
and is a dam for the water power com
pany of Holyoke, Mass, it being almost
completely built of cot stone. Several
derricks were purchased in Rockland last
week, and on Monday a span of large
horses and considerable other freight were
taken to the island on the steamer Cover
nor Bodwell. This is encouraging news
for men hereabouts, as many are at pres
ent idle and have large families depending
on them. j. G. Monaghan is superintend-
ent of the works, and Mr.. Creed, who is
well known among stone cutters, has been
engaged as foreman. This company also
operates quarry at Princeton, n. j.
where large force of men are employed
