R. A. X L. E. Dimock are building at West Stafford barn 70x4O feet, with a cellar under the entire building. This is said to be the largest barn in Stafford, and is probably the largest in the county.
 W. N. Thompson has taken a joint in terest in the building on Main street con- menced by John Brown, and when fin- ished the store will be occupied by Brown x Thompson, who will fill in a stock of dry goods, groceries, etc. The frame as it stands is 29x33, 2t stories high, with basement, and will have one story ex- tension on the east side 12x33. The Min eral Springs Go. will have an office in the west side of the building, the remainder of the first floor being taken for the store.
 The Mineral Springs company is about to commence making fine all wool goods. and the new machinery needed is already ordered.
 A little son of Peter Bolieau of this will lage, some less than three years of age, attempted to cross the street in front of the Staffordville stage, as it was leaving the depot last Friday afternoon, and fell beneath the wheels, which passed over both of his feet. Strange to say, though his feet and ankles were badly bruised ard cut, no bones were broken and he is likely to recover from the accident with out permanent injury.
