This editor takes to polities rather more than the editor of the Chronicle, and has several times represented his town in the Legislature. At present he is the Speaker of the House of Assembly. With his politics, the newspaper, and extensive job priming establishment he is one of the busiest men in town.

Nathaniel Ciresrory 15.

Dexter-Some of the Ancient Guiblings-Tlie Railways. Nathaniel Gregory Pi. Dexter, the subject of our illustration, was born in 17SS in Grafton, Mass. At boyhood Mr. Dexter removed to Pawtucket and was there, employed by Mr.

Slater in the old mills. Mr. Dexter being a devotee to the church, regularly attended the old Baptist rneetingdiouse, then used by all denominations. Sunday was observed as a holiday, young and old playing ball aud occupied in other sports. Here was a chance for the old patriarch to make himself famous.

A Sunday School was formed and in the year 1790 the first Sunday School in America was organized with seven scholars and three Webster Spelling-books. Mr. Dexter labored late and bard and his energies were untiring. A few years ago Governor Andrew aud Captain Dexter met. The Governor took the old veuerable's gold cane with the inscription which stated that he was a scholar in the fust Sunday School in America.

Ah." said the Governor, I would rather have that distinction than to be Governor of Massachusetts." For half a century or more he carried on an active business, whose fabric has won a national reputation. Up to the week of his death this good man was laboring for the unfortunate with great vigor. December (i, 1S('A, Nathaniel Gregory IS. Dexter breathed tiis last, and thus passed away one of those brilliant diadems. Several of the ancient buildings in Pawtucket possess considerable interest.

The old Slater Mansion on Pleasant street is in a good state of preservation aud has not been much modernized since it was occupied by the old pioneer. A portion of the oldest house, formerly located on Mill street, is now an to a building on the lot owned by Joseph F. Green, on Pleasant street. This was built 120 years ago. The house in which Sam Patch, the jumpist, was born is still standing on Main street, and is reported to be upwards of 100 years old.

There is still another old settler near the foundry of Messrs. White. Once on a time, before the trees were all cleared away, it is reported that a bear walked into this house to the surprise of the good dame who was nursing her baby. That is a pretty barc-Sdccd story to go spinuing round The Glohk these times. The railways passing through Pawtucket have reaped much benefit from the steady growth of the business of the place.

The Boston and Providence docs a large and increasing business direct from. Pawtucket, and furnishes the best of accommodation to its patrons, as it has the reputation of doing all along its line. The Worcester ami Providence lias received so much freight, within a few y( ars that it has been compelled to build a new freight track starting out from just above Pawtucket and ruurjing through East Providence to the tide-water of Xarragansett Bay. This East Providence branch was completed in October and was opened for general business in the spring following. Coal trains, however, began running over the line in November, the month following its completion.

Pawtucket can boast of no first-class hotel. The lienedict House, a tine structure with every facility for a first-class house, and properly managed, would lead a good proprietor to the road of fortune. It is owned by the Providence County Savings Bank, one of the best institutions of its kind in New England, but it is rented to one IIoss. wliojias bad a varied experience as a hotel-ket per in many places in Connecticut and Rhode Island, but who has not learned the ways and manners of the model landlord, having an unhappy faculty of rearing his guests rudely at times, and to a degree approaching insult.

He runs twelve and a half hours daily, and every day in the week, Sundays included. ne of the handsomest business buildings in the State is the Dexter block, on the corner of Main and Pleasant streets. It was only completed this summer, in July, when it was describtd in our columns.

The style of architecture is the modern English Gothic, and the materials of which the building is made are pressed brick, Nova Scotia free stone, with polished columns of red granite in the tirst story, and colored marble above. The inside of the building is finished in the finest style, and the entire cost of the edilice, above the foundation, is npwards of SUMI.OOO. All of the second floor is occupied by the First National P.ank and the Providence County Savings Bunk, both of which are under the same general management, and have done and are doing a large hardness. The Post Office is to be moved into this building during the coming week, and its quarters are most convenient and attractive, as well arranged as those of any Post Office in the count ry. There are four entrances from the streer.

There are letter boxes, and 100 dra wers, of similar pattern to those in the new Boston aud New York Post Offices, and every possible contrivance for the comfort as well as convenience of the citizens and the Post.

For many years the Volunteer Fire Depart ment of Pawtucket ranked second to none in the Cnited States, and a hardier, manlier set of fellows was nowhere to he found. Pawtucket was noted for firemen's parades, suppers, balls, and fairs, a four days' entertainment of the hitter sort netting Ihe crack company of the town the large sum of S.SOOO. The Pawtucket firemen were noted for their hospitality, ami their visiting brethren, oT whom there were many, left them with feelings that naught could ever repay the kindness of their red-shirted companions in Pawtucket. Six fine steamers, all made in this place, which boasts of two of the host known manufactories in the country, formed the full complement under the old system, but there are now but live.

In the spring of 1871, the volunteer department was abolished and a paid department established by the Town Council, and in the following autumn, Game-well's automatic tire alarm telegraph was adopted and put into operation as a means of sounding alarms, fifty-eight boxes being located in different parts of the towu.
