He was residing at the home of Mr. John Reid, near Yeovil, and was being closely watched, as he had, on several occasions, threatened self-destruction. However, on the morning in question, he eluded the vigilance of the famlly while they were at breakfast, and he- took himself to the swamp. Mr. Reid followed, but before he caught up the old man had inflicted an ugly gash with a razor. Medical aid was immed- iately summoned; the wound was stitched up and his life saved. He re- gretted that he had not made a better job of the insane act. He seems to be tired of life, being over eighty years old. He spent last winter in the House of Refuge, returning only a couple of weeks ago. He was commit- ted to the county jail, and taken hence on Friday.â€"liolstein Cor. THE (.‘ement mill is now working full (.'a.[mcity. Smoke issues day and night from the eight rotaries,and now work goes on in all the other depart- ments as well. Already this spring some large shipments have been made. For three or four days last week an average of ten cars a day left the ware- house. The cement is not surpassed for quality any where and with the re- putation it now has the stockholders may rest assured that there will be. a growing demand for the out put ofour mill. They have, hitherto made first- class cement and we all hope they will begin soon to make cement dividends. THE Norwich Union Fire Insurance 00. through its agent, W.

Notice is hereby given that a meet- ing will be held in the Middaugh House, on the evening of Thursday, April mm, at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of organizing a Baseball team for the coming season. A full attendance is Again I understand that. if the fac- tory is re-bmlt another industry to employ 1;") or 20 men is likely to start in conneczion with it. For these reasons I intend to cast my vote in favor of the By-law and trust we may carry it almost unan- imously believmg there will not be any material increase in the taxes. I want to see the old town boom along as it has been doing the hat five or six years. and it occurs to me that about the first thing that everâ€" start- ed the town to go ahead was the Face tory. Thanking vou for space. I am Yours o.. MR. ED1’I‘OR,-â€"Klndly permit me through the columns of the Chronicle to offer some remarks in regard to the Furniture Co. BylLaw on which we are going to vote this week. When the amount of $10,000 bonus and $510,000 loan was first mentioned it seemed to be a large amount. and felt inclined to vote against it; but after looking carefully over the by- law have come to the following con ('lllSlODSZâ€"- First, let us take the bonus of $10,000. This means the turning over to the Company of the $0.000 received from the Insurance Companies and would not mean any more taxation to the ratepayers for at leaSt li‘ve or six years as we have been levying rates for the payment of the interest of this by-law since the factory was first built. Then about the time the debentures of this bylaw (that is the first Furniture By-law) falls due, the payments on the Consolidated ByoLaw expires. so that with an extension of a further ten years the rate at any time would not be heavier than at present. Second. the loan of 310.000 means simply the payment of the interest on the loan for ten years amounting to $2.475. if we deduct from this amount 8750 or $800 of school taxes which we will receive during the ten years if the factory is re-built. It will only mean about 81600 in ten years or an average of 8160 yearly, which would be less than § mill an- nually or less than 50c. per year on 31000 of assessment. After the loan is paid we would then receive full taxes from the Company or at least $150 yearly. Then again as was pointed out in the CHRONICLE last week it will mean more houses and! more people in the town and a much higher assessment to levy rates on if the Factory is re-built. Also I under- stand the Company intends to increase the men employed in the factory and this would neces- sarily mean a payment of $2000 in wages every month. m: “A.
