field county, on the shore of Lake
Superior, there is going to be big
town. Mr.. Hunt informs us that
already there are about ninety fami-
lies that will reside in the new town.
The company that have gone in
there will have big saw mill, and
will manufacture lumber, lath and
shingles. The company have large
amount of lands, and are getting in
many settlers. A large number of
new houses are in the conrse of cor
struction, and already there are ap-
pearances of good lively town
springing up. Mr.. Hunt comes
