 Henry Balbrian has leased the Fox mill property and intends to commence in about one month the manufacture of a fine class of goods for the use of merchant tailors. He has ordered twenty-fv broad looms, that will be set up in the stone annex, which was formerly used as store house. The water power is sufficient for his needs, and the shafting in the building where the looms are to be set up will be connected with the wooden mill by ca ble. It is probable that other new ma- chinery, besides the looms, will have to be secured, as 1t has been several years since the mill has been operated. There is feeling of general satisfaction that there is a prospect of this plant being utilized.
