EDWARD GUsTAvEsON's FACTORY DE.
 sTROYED BY FIRE.
 New Preston people regretted to learn of the burning of Edward Gus. taveson's factory in Upper New York City on Wednesday afternoon of last week. MT GustavesOn went there from his Ash Grove cottage on Thurs day morning to visit the ruins. Your correspondent hopes all was insured and that it will not interfere what ever with other plans and improve. ments which he has laid out to do. MT Gustaveson is changing and re- pairing his house and barns at his country seat here and giving employ ment to several carpenters and masons, making all an ideal property as summer residence and fitting all much more convenient for household purposes than 1t has ever been before.
