For a long time past Mr. Thomas Robson has contemplated moving his foundry from its present location on the F shore of Comcron Lake to a more cen- tral position in the village, and he has at length taken the initiatory step by applying to the council for a site, which will no doubt be granted, convenient to the locks and the wharf. Since the locks were built all the stcamboats on these waters have been brought to the Falls for necessary repairs to their pro- pellers, shaftings and other parts of their machinery, and such work could be much more expeditiously and conven- iently done if the foundry were handy to the locks. The Mr. Wm. Parkinson and M r. E lward Finley, of Mariposa, were at.thc Falls on Wednesday. Mr. M. W. Brandon came home from Kinmount on Saturday, but is going back again in a lbw days. ' Mr. John Austin, reevc ol‘ Fcnelou ails, lth for Kiumount on Wednesday. and expects to be back by the middle of next week. Mr. &. Mrs. John Barrett, of’l‘oronto. are still at the Falls.

Thompson, late Of British Columbia, near to the railway track.but its distance from the centre of the village is a great drawback, and Mr. Robsonâ€"who ought to be a good judge of the matterâ€"thinks that if the foundry were located near . the main street and the steamboat land- ing, its business would in a. short time be from fifty to one hundred per cent. more than it now is.
