Tun BRICKYARDS -Under the able
management of Meson &
Pithiest°, the -well-known brickyard
here has taken a new lease of life. The
excellent quality of the bricks and tile
made here, which are so much in evi-
dence, is their best recommendation.
The members of the new arra are two
enterprising young men from Scotland
who have had several yea* experience
in the business and have a backing of
ample capital to carry on an extensive
business. .About twelve hands are now
employed, mostly men from the Old
Country, and the new firth starts on -
der the most favorable auspices to
make their works, a. profitable and
'busy centre.
.THE WOOLEN FACTORY. - It was
with pleasere that we • saw our old
friend,. Jesse Gledhill again at his post
ar his famous woolen mill after a ser -
ions illness of several weeksthis spring
When we celled on him • he was up to
his eyes in blankets, yarns and cloths,
the product of the mill during the
spring and winter months, and as
ready as ever to attend to a large bus-
iness that the new clip of wool entails
at this season every year. There have
been complaints that the fleeces are
not sufficiently dried atter shearing,
which causes the damp wool to mildew
.when stored in large quantities; but
the most serious complaint is that the
farmers are in the habit , of
.fleeces witlrbindertWine, the fibre of
which mixes with the wool and will
•not take the dye. In fact. some firms
positively refuse to buy wool tied in
that way, and Mr Gledhill wishes to
caution the farmers to ese some other
materialthan binder twine if they
want to get the top price on the mar-
ket this season, '
