It seems that lie bad at one lime studied law , and having aeipiiied a small . ' lock of funds he went to Noilh Mend where lie embarked in Ihe practice of thai profca- hion. Clair was a well educated , clever and rather relined fellow , and put ting himself on Ins best be havior he soon joined good social Mantling. Shoitly after his arrival in the town lie made tliu acquaintance of , ) . K , Dors'jy , a North Mend grain dealer , a cousin of Congiexilian George \V. K.

The closing of tlio nail works , thus throw ing out of employment a large number of .skilled workmen , has already been lelt in many quarters , and the rcoiieniiig of lliu indiistr.v is awaited with anxiety.

The reccnl change from iron to steel in many articles ol common use has created an immense de mand for Mod nailh , tlio old Iron-out nail being now almost entirely iieg cctcd when htccl nails nro obtainable.
