Wo^had a pleasant call this morn log from Dr. P. W. Douglass* of At lanta, representing the Fidelity Mn> tool Life Association,and who war de- sirous of collecting data in reference to the healthfulnesss of Btunswiok, With a view to tho establishment o: 1 i |tn agency here of his company. We told him to write Brnnswiok down as the healthiest spot on earth, and that he would be within the, bonds of truth, which assertion he pronounced himself most ready to accept, if he might judge from the sweet, soft and balmy air. . * * . This is the Doctor’s second visit to Brunswick, the first having been in 1857, Just thirty-one y^is ago, at which time he came to prospect for a drag store. He remained here a week or more, and during^hat time he says the only .sighs of a business with the outside world that he coaid detect was afew wajjon loads of light wood knots hauled into town,and the arrival of (he old steamer St Harys, which got aground, and was left high and dr# by the tide, He went away disgusted, and never came back until) last night. When he look ed from his room window this mov ing the first sight that caught ills eye was a railroad train and a steam boat passing at the sometime. When hi reached the street the surprise was complete, and be now thinks that a man would be safe in making any tovwtaient here. Brunswick surely grows. The Protection Foot-Race.

Only one doer was killed yesterday - by the party who went ovor to Blythe S Island, and Mayor Felder, of -Amer- I . tcus, was the slayer. The boys wanted to “bloody him” as is the custom when young hunters kill their first deer, but His Honor quietly informed them that he was no novice at the business. A more lovely morning never nev er dawned, than to-day—ne heat, no dost, no cold, no snow, no ice. no rain,' no clouds, nothing unpleasant, simply perfection, with the sun as bright and beautiful 4s imagination can picture it, and the mocking birds I tempted by the beauty of natnre in- \ to a few sweet strains.

Still Improving.: Wo take pleasure always in notic ing the Improvements gofng on among our citizens and especially such enterprises as are calculated to improve the town most, such, for in stance, as manufactories—any insti tution that produces something. In our rounds yesterday we dropped in upon Messrs. Moore & Valentino, at the bracket works, and found things just fairly humming—no idle people there—but everybody on the move, keeping up with the orders that con tinually come in. Since onr last vis it there to inspect, the building has been enlarged in two directions— both on the north and soutifc sides. These additions were found necessa ry to make room for more work and more machinery. Quite a large ex tension was found necessary on the north end .of the bnilding, fora new sash aqd window machine and a new planer for beveled work. Theso smen feeling encouraged over the prospects of onr fair city, are go ing to keep abreast of the times, and' propose manufacturing doors and sash as cheap and good'as can be had anywhere. We wish them every auccew add hope their efforts wrill be Ally rewarded. 6th. We need also another foundry and machine shop. There would be plenty of work for two, for much work goes elsewhere because wo have no competition. 7th. A drying establishment that will supply all the seasoned lumber of all kinds that may be wanted—not only of pine, but oak, hickory, ash, etc. 8th. A dyeing establishment would do well here. 9th. A dairy farm properly run would pay well. We mean on#’ prop erly run—a first-class dairy with fine cows properly kept and fed. There is big money in such an investment here. These are but thirteen in alt. Doz ens more could be suggested, all of wlfich would pay well, and at tho same time help build up the town. willmetit at thelr, ‘ Library Room In the.
