ORMOND.
(from a correspondent.) In riding through Ormond recently, I was agreeably surprised to notice the thriving state of the crops, and the improvement generally of feed Ac., but what astonished me most was to see a Horse Power Saw Bench in full working order at the Chandos Hotel.
Now really our enterprising host of the Chandos deserves successashe isevidently going in “ neck or nothing.” I have reason to believe the smithy is a success, as the blacksmith recommends himself with his first job. As to the saddlery department, it is to be regretted that with the march of intellect the P. B. Horses break more legs and bridles than heretofore, but, notwithstanding, it is a good institution, and he gets a fair share of patronage. Well, really, if the hotel, store, smithy, saddlery, and saw-mill (where one can be supplied with wood in any lengths) does not further the interest of Mr J, Villers, no one can accuse him of not trying to win.
