lively discussion at the meeting.

prietor of what is known as Gilmore's
brick yard, has discovered new pro-
cess of making and moulding brick. He
has been fortunate in discovering a
quality of sand that has never been
used to any great extent, and can be
obtained only near his works. He has
made few samples and experts to
whom he has shown the goods proclaim
them just what the market has been
looking for for some time.
The factory known as the piano fac
tory. situated on Spring street, in this
town, has been purchased by the Am
erican Carriage Wheel Manufacturing
Company of Boston. The company will
start the business early in January, and
it is expected that % hands will be
employed. Ball bearing carriage wheels
and ball bearing carriage hubs for car
riage makers will be manufactured.

man ball bearings, and this company
owns the patent as applied to carriage
wheels Machinery is already pur-
chased, and will be set in position at
