The estate of the Joseph Hall Manufacturing Co. was sold on Tuesday by . the creditore to Pr.,-. .William IL Briggs, onef of the; shareholders, upon -a tender sup ported by Dr. McGill, Mr^ Glen and others. The competing tender was from Whiteley, Fussier <fc Kelly, Springfield, Ohio, and was actively supported by Mr. T. N. Gibbs. 'The vote stood for Briggs, 15-0 jcreditoi-s, amounting to $.161,- 000 \ for Whiteley, sixteen credit ors, amounting to-i 33,5.00. The successful fender gives the unsecur ed creditors fifty-one and' a half per cent. Nominally the tenders offered the same per centage, but the conditions of Dr. Briggs' ten der were regarded as the most fav orable. , A grjahd torchlight proces sion was held that-evening, over one thousand.; "people congregating that town. At the opening'services, which- commenced on Thursday evening of last week, the very hand- aome sum of !?27,000 .wus. subscrib ed, being $5,000 more than suffi cient to meet the balance remaining due on the church. This- costly and beautiful,- edifice, therefore, worth sonie 850,000, will not be burdened with a; debt. The first sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Ives, of Auburn, N. Y., and it was through his persuasive powers, in the subsequent services that the satii-factoiy result of providing for Jthe debt was secured. On Wednesday an ice jam was found at the bridge in front| of Mr. J. Martin's -grist ruUl, MUton, dam ming the creek to such an extent that it overflowed its hanks, and converted most of the flat froin ,the creek to Main street into a.pond. The cellars of jthe Town Hall, Mr. Jackson's Hotel, and jother buildings were ;fiiled yvitl^ water. Through the united effort* of a number of citizens the jam.- was cleared away in the : afternoon.
