An Old Wheel of the Wire Mills. 



Nature lovers who are fond of wan- 

 dering in the northern part of Stamford 

 never fail to visit the old wheel of the 

 wire mills. It has probably been the 

 target of more cameras than any other 

 object in the vicinity, because there is 

 around it not only the beauty of the 

 scenery but the romance of the long, 

 long ago of Stamford. Yet it has been 

 difficult to obtain any definite informa- 

 tion regarding the wheel. The writer 



has requested several persons who are 

 well informed in the history of Stamford 

 to send us any information that they 

 may have, and we here repeat this in- 

 vitation. 



As we look southward from the bridge 

 near the wheel, we have a view of a mag- 

 nificent ravine, and of a stream of water 

 in which the reflections of the trees and 

 shrubbery are so perfect, that a photo- 

 graph of the scene may be examined 

 with either side upward and with results
