with the preacher and there has been
good meeting. Several additions

A welcome sound greeted the ears of
our citizens, Monday noon, when the
condensary whistle was blown for the
first time since it sounded the doom of
the factory at the time of the fire, on
July 10 last. Quite force of men are
now employed in setting the machinery
which has been received and when this
work is completed the factory will be
in very much better shape than ever
before. The boilers formerly in use
have been reset and will be supple
mented by new Scotch boiler of the
water tube type which, it is expected,
will be installed within few weeks.
