FLOUR MILL. TO AGRICULTURISTS. Gentlemen, — HAVING purchased a site for a Corn Mill, I take the earliest opportunity of making it generally known.

The cause being now removed, I hope will give a stimulus to increased effort. I intend to build a Mill for next season equal to the working up of any quantity of corn likely to be grown in the .Canterbury Settlement. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, D. In wood. E.
