EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, December lst, 1877.
Dean Gaznr'ru :-—— .
Thanksgiving Day at the National Capital
has become as thoroughly recognized and
observed an anniversary as it is throughout
New England. No more striking illustration
of this fact could be given than in the closing
of all Government departments and places of
business and the universal opening of the
churches and the exceptionally large attend—
once upon Divine worship here on Thursday.
The thorough change in the dominant P0P-
ulation, in the habits and customs of the D90-
plc now resident here, is so changed 811100 the
war, that one would think himself in some
wide-awake northern or eastern city,r1fe wrth
enterprise and thrift, instead of the Old-1'08)"
soiled and decaying town of fifteen years ago.
There have been over seven thousand new
dwellings erected in Washington during the
I'ul'l’ellt year. ‘A greater number it is claimed
lilan has been built in any city in the Union
luring the same period of business depres-
sion. Washington is now established as the
Winter Saratoga of America, and large num-
hers of the wealthy families of the country
who desire to pass a winter in elegant leisure
and social gaiety, have come here and pur-
-:hascd and built a class of palatial residences
which cannot be surpassed in beauty and
\‘lilbOl'iliiOll by the structures of any city in
be known world. The numbers of such
newcomers for a winter‘s sojourn are con-
stantly increasing, and the wealth and beauty
=heir improvements confer upon the govern-
mental city are almost beyond computation.
There were special services in nearly every
:~hurch in the city, on Thursday, and in ser-
nous, and especially in the music, there was
be greatest interest, effort and excellence
'leCl‘VEd. In no New England town or city,
where we have ever chanced to pass 11 Thanks-
giving day, was the hearty observance of this
~-.nnivcrsary so general. The table, turkey
and pumpkin pie, and the social gathering
‘ogether of families and friends were so
universal throughout the city, that Washing—
ton now well-deserves to be recognized as
the home of a thoroughgoiug and dominant
New England populace.
The partizan skirmish kept up all day in
the Senate for political ascendancy, was the
only break in the general observance of the
:lay. Thousands flocked thither, as other
:housands to the churches. The Senate
:-haplain made an eloquent and fervent
fhanksgiving prayer, invoking future peace
and prosperity to the Nation and a larger share
of wisdom and patriotism for our rulers.
Then Dr. Sunderland hurried to his own pul-
pit and delivered an exceedingly able sermon
on the duties of the hour. .
The most notable of Thursday’s proceed-
ings in the Senate was the half-hour speech
of Roscoe Conkling. His eloquence, power
and pathos, not only charmed all who listen-
ed, but made the democrats engaged in the
struggle for supremacy, doubly uncomfort-
:lble. His columbiad shots roused up “Ben"
Hill and Gordon, who pitched tumultuously
into “the imminent deadly breech”—only to
experience the mortifying fact that their con.
tract was too much for them. There is no
disguising the fact that the great state of
New York has here her greatest son. Conk-
ling, in oratory at least, is the grand, colossal
power of the Senate. .
Senator Wadleigh, who as chairman of th
committee of Privileges and Elections, had
the management of the Kellogg—Spofford
ease, and conducted the case with admirable
act and-masterly ability. -When:the menace
came from the democratic side that it was to
be a struggle tested by physical cudurancc,hc
took the floor about midnight and at ten next
morning was still talking. A page who was
interrogated as to 110w long. Wadleigh was
going to talk, naively replied: “Well, I don’t
know. He’s talked all night, and he looks as
if he was going to speak two days longer.”
To Wadleigh’s dauntless courage and thor-
ough mastery and familiarity with all the
points of his case, coupled with Edmund’s
skill in parliamentary tactics, are we chiefly
indebted for not to-day being hopelessly in
the hands of the enemy.
Patterson and Conover kept their pledges
to vote for both Kellogg and for Butler.
Patterson, yesterday, madea bitter arraign-
ment of President Hayes for having deserted
the Republicans of the South and left them
to the brutal mercies of southern kluklux and
murderers. , .
The tide of this battle waged up and down
till about half-past two this morning, when
Mr. Edmunds submitted a proposition to the
Senate, which was supported by Mr. Thur-
man, that a vote be taken on the Louisiana,
case at once, and on the South Carolina case
an hour later, if that length of time should
he desired for debate. The proposition was
accepted, and after a pending substitute to
insert the name of Spofford was rejected, the
resolution was rejected and Kellogg was voted
in. T he Democrats wasted no time in debut-
ing the South Carolina case, and action was
taken at once, resulting in the admisson of
Mr. Butler, and Messrs. Kellogg and Butler
were sworn in. Tile Senate then went into
executive session, and soon after adjourned
to two o’clock this afternoon.
So the long agony is over, and the democ-
racy stand just wherc they did before their
conspiracy to “steal the Senate,”-—wasinaug~
urated by them. What will be the future
course of Conover and Patterson on test
party questions, are matters of various con-
jecture. The air is thick with the wildest
rumors as to ,what they will or will not do-
Of Patterson, the rumor obtaining the most
general belief is that he is to resign his seat
so as to admit Wade Hampton. This seems
a strained conclusion to your correspondent,
yet we are reminded of the old negro’s solild
quy: “De white man am dreadful unsartin.”
Judge Davis continued to throw his three
hundred ahd eighty pounds solidly for the
democrats, and may confidently be expected
to do so in the future. It is true, he dodged
on the vote admitting Gen. M. 0. Butler.
This was attempted as a bit of adroit politi-
cal finesse, but the amplitude of the ex-Su-
prcme Court Judge is made as ridiculous in
such a role as an elephant attempting to hide
in a rat hole. Every one knew he would
have voted Butler in if his vote had been re-
quircd. So doth greatness (avoirdupois)
hedge about an ex-judge turned senatorial
politician.
The Republicans in the Senate, after all,
need not feel discouraged, for they have
clearly proven themselves to be more than a
match for their hungry opponents, with the
“Independent Party” [Judge Davis] thrown
in.
Senator Eaton started out a very grave
constitutional question as to the right of the
Vice—President to vote on the admission of a.
Senator in the ease of a tie. The question
is a novel one, but now that it is separated
from the persons to whom it was made to
apply, it is likely to challenge the most seri-
ous consideration. His points seemed well
taken and the Vice-President paid him the
deference of not voting on a subsequent case
antagonizing Mr. Eaton’s position. We shall
recur to this question hereafter, as it is sure
to prove one of the new important issues of
the future.
The Senate has passed the Paris Exposition
Bill and has devoted to-day mainly to the De-
flciency Bill, and on Monday, at meridian,
will organize into the regular; session of the
Forty-fifth Congress.
The severe rain storm of the last week
swelled the Potomac so that vessels lying'at
the river wharvcs were compelled to cut loose
and drift down stream. The Florence I
Lockwood, Capt. Chas St. John, of Norwalk,
was tied up to the dock at George-
town, when the wharf gave way and she
drew the piling to which her hawscrs were
attached, and drifted down stream at the rate
of thirteen knots an hour. Capt. St. John
let go both his anchors which wereas rapidly
snapped off and lost, but his chains gave the
schooner a sheer and he drifted on the mud
flats just in the rear of Washington’s monu-
ment. He was very fortunate in not drifting
down with the swift current and crashing
nto Long Bridge. He got off after a few
hours of vexatious labor, without a very seri-
ous loss or injury.
The bill recently introduced into the House
by Col. J. C. Stone, of Iowa, to provide for
the establishment of postal savings banks,
seems to be winmng favorable attention and
many members believe that it or something
akin to it will become a law at the next ses-
sion. Its supporters argue that the plan pro-
posed by Col. Stone would strengthen the
credit of the Government, and give all classes
a deep interest in the stability of the country.
Inasmuch as the Government will necessarily
be for many years a borrower of money,there
is no good reasonjwhy it should not patronize
its own citizens by receiving and paying in-
terest on even the smallest sums which they
may desire to lend it.
The time of the Senate Com. on Patents
[of which we happen to be still secretary]
has been devoted, the past week, to further
hearings in the matter of the proposed new
Patent Law. -
President Merwin, of the Norwich Fire
Arms 00., is here with one of the most per-
fect specimens of Repeating Fire Arms ever
yet constructed. . It is a marvel of mechani-
cal and inventive skill and an honor to its
Connecticut origin. As ever, B.

Temperance Meeting.
The Union meeting at the First Congre-
gational church, on Sunday evening last,
being the second in the Temperance course,
was very largely attended. The pews were
all filled and extra seats were brought in from
the Lecture Room. Rev. Mr. Hamilton,
pastor of the church, delivered a very forei,
blc address, touching specially upon the re-
lations of the community to the evil of in-
temperance and the manner in which all
clascs of people were victimized by the
trafiic. Revs. Bentley and Williams were
present and participated in the services.
Music by the choir of the church.
The Next Mectin g.
Next Sunday evening another Union meet-
ing will be held at the Baptist church when
Rev. Mr. Bentley will preach.

The annual business meeting of this Church
was held on Friday afternoon. The follow-
ing ofiicers were elected: Clerk, Henry K.
Selleck; Treasurer, Joseph W. Wilson;
Deacons, William S. Lockwood, E. C. Bissell,
William E. Marvin, Joseph W. Wilson,
Henry K. Selleck, James E. Wixson, Monson

A SAD Arrarn.—-Last Saturday while our-
penters were engaged in making certain alter-
ations at Mr. Selleck’s school, a sad accident
befel Mr. Theodore Brush. He was assisting
in the work of moving the ten pin alley, pry-
ing up one end with a crowbar, when it some-
how slipped and the weight fell on his right
leg, breaking both bones in two places be-
tween thc knee and ankle, while the bar
struck his side and injured his thigh. Dr.
Lockwood was called and did everything in
his power to alleviate his sufferings, and had
him conveyed to his home. Mr. Brush is a
very worthy man,—-an old soldier—and his
many friends will deeply sympathize with
him in his misfortune.
Our friend Asa Smith,Esq., the Pottery
man, is turning out all sorts of designs in
pottery ware which cannot fail to please the
ladies interested in the decorative art. His
manufactures include many of the very
ancient shapes,-—Egyptian, Phenician, Grc
cian, Chinese, Japanese, &c., as well as
modern designs. People are kindly allowed
to watch the process of manufacture of these
articles, which is really novel and interesting.
These articles are also for sale at prices much
lower than they can be obtained in New
York.
Fine flats.
Surrn & PALMER are turning out large
numbers of the same fine fur-bodied hats that
have hitherto been such a speciality among
the first-class New Jersey batters. Those of
Smith & Palmer certainly rival those known-
commonly in the market as “French bodies"
in their finish and fineness of texture. We
rejoice that N orwalk can produce such superb
articles of manufacture.
A good story comes to us, vouched for as
having occured at a recent entertainment
given by the Y. M. C. A. of Stamford. A
portion of the exercises consisted of a series
of tableaux. The pianist from New York
failed to arrive, and a young man in the and-
ience was selected to fill his place, with in.
structions to play some suitable selection
during the exhibition of each tableau. All
passed off nicely until “The Prodigal Son”
was presented, when the pianist promptly
struck up “When Johnny comes Marching
oome." '
The estate of the Fowler Steering Propel-
ler Company,which has been in the bank-
ruptcy court, for some time past, has been
settled, and the creditors will receive one
hundred cents on the dollar..—Bn‘dgeport
Standard.
Mr. Standard please repeat for accuracy.
Isit not alla horrible blunder? Will the
creditors really receive one hundred cents on
a dollar? As a general thing creditors are
supposed to have no rights in bankruptcy
proceedings and to receive next to nothing.
If the statement is true, however, we call
for three cheers and a tiger for the Fowler
Steering Propeller Company and the lawyer
who managed the ease in the interests of
the creditors. ' '
Mr. Toohilhaving purchased the Democrat
simply to aid and incouragé Mr. Pickett, and
having no further use of it after the retire-
ment of that person, sold out the concern to
Mr. C. V. Arnold who was about starting a
new paper at South. Nerwalk. It will, here-
after, it is stated, he called the Democratand
Champion. As we see it, the purchase em.
braces nothing more then an empty name
and a'reputation disgraced from first to last.
We trust the future will give us something
noblcr and better.
New Macme Finn—Engineer John
Cotter} has removed his Machinery, Tools,
&.c. to the old Norwalk Machine Works foot
of Mill Hill formerly run by Mr. Alonzo
Arnold, Isaac Church, and others. We un-
derstand that he is to be joined by Mr. John
H. Aiken for a number of years past the
Engineer and Machinist of the Union Manu-
facturing Co. of this place. Both gentlemen
being highly competent and practical mechan-
ics, Norwalk will now have what has been
so long needed, a first-class Machine Shop,
one where every kind of work can be done.
either in manufacturing or repairing. Sue.

The Opera House is once more undergoing
improvement. This time dressing rooms are
being built for use at balls, socials, and all
other entertainments where such rooms are
needed. They are to be under the balcony
one on each side of the room, are to be por-
table, and to be removed during other enter-
tainments. They are to be fitted with all
conveniences, light, heat, .20. The floor is
to be also put in good order and those that
trip the light fantastic toe hereafter at the
Opera House will appreciate the change.

Thanksgiving day was a rainy, disagreeable
day sandwich between two unusually pleasant
days for this season, The people, however,
generally enjoyed their social re-uuions in
doors, and good dinners seldom lacked good
company. The attendance at the churches
was rather slim, but still the pastors had up-
preciative listeners.

The office of the Atlantic & Pacific Tele-
graph Co., now located in the Post Ofiice,
will be discontinued some time this month,
probably by the end of next week. This is
the result of the recent consolidation of the
two lines. and the public will hereafter proba-
bly have to pay increased rates on messages.
This temporarily throws the public's old and
tried friend, Johnny Hoyt,out, but as he was
about the first operator to go into the employ
of the A. 5:. 1’. line he has now the honor of
being the last to have his office closed. John-
ny has made many friends in his long years
of serviceastelegraph operator, and where-
ever his line may be cast in the future we
wish him success.
Band Concert.
Our new Band, “The National Band of
Norwalk”, announce a Grand Band Concert
for Wednesday evening the 12th inst. at the
Opera House. In addition to their own
music they announce an old favorite here to
assist them, via: Madame Varian the sweet
songstress, who will be accompanied§on the
Piano by the celebrated Pianist, Edward
Hoffman. Our citizens ought to turn out
and fill the Hall and so encourage the Band
in their up-hill work to form and-keep a good
Band in town. Remember the evening,
Wednesday Dec. 12th, and make your arrange
ments to attend.
Mr. Elbert Curtis was badly hurt on Wed-
nesday evening last, a little after 80‘clock by
falling off the wall in the rear of Issues Block
to the Railroad track below. Wanting to
get into the Post Office which had just
closed its front doors, he went through Stan-
ley’s News Ofiice intending to go through
the back yard and so into the back door of
the office, but it being quite dark, and he not
familiar with the ground,he went out too far
and so met with the accident which resulted
in injuries that has caused him to keep the
house ever since. "

In a special effort to be “brilliant,” last
week, the editor of the Democrat over-exert.
ed himself and the result proved disastrous——
to his editorial career in Norwalk. One
article especially, evidently intended to be
witty at the expense of a lady who is an
earnest worker in the temperance cause, was
simply scurrilous, and disgusting even as a
specimen of sensational journalism. Having
sneered and poked fun at the temperance
workers and proved to his own satisfaction
that “moral suasion" was the only true way
of converting drunkards, he proceeded to
make a “frightful example” of himself, prob-
ably in order to give some friend an oppor-
tunity to air his eloquence and exhibit his
powers of persuasion. While his papers
were being hawked about the streets, he was
a laughing stock, and before night a writ
had been signed for his arrest. Before the
week was out his editorial position was occu-
pied by another, while the lady he sought
to ridicule and bring reproach upon is no less
respected by the community. And this is a
stirring temperance lecture in itself. A young
man of good natural abilities, respectably
connected, became a slave to liquor. Kind
friends watched over him and tried to reform
him, but the habit was too strong for him to
resist. He lost position after position which
he might have filled creditably and profitably.
Finally this last attempt was made to help
him, and that has failed. Will “moral
suasiou" save him ? perhaps so if backed up
by moral sentiment and the enforced absence
of the temptcr. He is a poor unfortunate
entitled to the pity of the community rather
than severe censure and denunciation.
Death of Dr. Francis Brady.
We are pained to learn of the decease ' of
Dr.Frauk Brady,which took place Monday at
St. Luke’s Hospital, New York, where: he
had been for treatment for some weeks past.
Dr. Brady was a native of Norwalk, ason of
the late Thomas Brady, and for years was the
foreman of the late Levi Clark in his button
shop. He afterwards studied dentistry and
became an able and skillful operator,-audjac-
quired much repute in the manufacture of
sets of teeth. After practicing some years in
Norwalk he removed to Nengork, where he
soon acquired a good practice. Ill health
attacking him he finally, after a few years
successful business there, returned to Nor-
walk and again resumed business here,
in which he continued until a year ago when
he retired entirely from active business. For
a few years past he has lived in Wilton, but
his funeral will be attended here in Norwalk.
He had many good and true friends who will
mourn his decease.
Mrs. Frances J. Platt,relict of Chas. Platt,
a former well known citizen of Norwalk,
died in Brooklyn. N. Y., on Sunday last.
She was a daughter of the late Zalmon Lyon,
and in her younger days was a much esteem-
ed membcr and teacher in the First Congre-
gational Church of this place. ‘
The Coming Lecture. _
Our citizens should not forget the lecture
to be delivered by Mrs. Brinkley, at the
Opera House, on Wednesday evening. Mrs.
B. has a fine reputation as a writer, and her
lecture is likely to be the best that has been
given here for a long time. Over two hun.
dred and fifty tickets have already been dis-
posed of which insures a large attendance.
The ladies, particularly, should take an inter-
est in this lecture,and they should insist upon
being accompanied by their husbands and
sweethearts, as Mrs. B. will hold'the mirror
up for man to see himself. Subject—“Men
of the Period.”
«.r—O
On Saturday morning last, Edward Scully,
who acquiried such uncnviable notoriety-
lately by obtaining money from the Relief
Association of the Town of Norwalk, on
false pretcnecs, presented himself at the par-
sonage of the Rev. Mr. Williams, of the 2d
M. E. Church, asking for money. He was
at once recognized by Mr. Williams and
was told that Drs. Lockwood and Lynes
wished‘to meet him. At this Seully took to
flight hotly pursued by Mr. Williams, who
was becoming exhausted, when he called
upon Mr. Selleck Youngs, who at this mo-
ment happened to be near at hand, for assist-
ance. Mr. Youngs proved too fleet of foot
for Seully and secured him. He was at
once taken to the law ofiice-of Messrs. Hurl-
buttib Relyea, when Sheriff Dann produced
the warrant of arrest with which he was fur-
nished two weeks ago, and the prisoner was
immediately brought before Justice Stuart.
After some words he confessed that he had
swindled-the Relief Associationfiand had lied
to Mr. Williams, Drs. Lockwood and Lynes.
Justice Stuart sentenced him to 30 days in
Bridgeport jail, and accompanied the sen-
tence with a caustic and severe expression of
his indignation at the vile course pursued by
the prisoner, which'under the circumstances
was calculated to hurt the worthy poor who
might be suffering for need of charity. The
prisoner was then at once railroaded toBridgc-
port by the afternoon lightning express.

BY OUR [GOAL BEFORE”.
The city has been full of excitement dur-
ing the pm week. It'had been well known
for a few days previous, that the new mana-
gers of the Democratic party had resolved to
nominate Major‘Doty for Mayor, ‘but finding
that many of the life-long wheel horses of
their party would rebel, and failing to get the
Major to “bite very hard at the bait,” a con-
ference was held, and an adjournment, until
Tuesday, when, another meeting was held
after consulting the old hen club. The old
democratic stand-bye kicked over the arrange-
.ments and brought such force to bear, that
the plan of the newgcomcrs was abandoned.
and Hon. W. 8. Hanford was proposed, as
a representative man of . the party. The
caucus was called on the evening of Tuesday,
and was promptly called to order. Nelson
J. Craw was appointed chairman and Theo-
dore Wilcox, clerk. The chair requested
that none in the room participate in the
caucus except Democrats. N. Taylor said
that he had thrust into his hands as he enter-
ed the room, the name of one of the most
prominent Republicans, as a candidate for
Mayor (perhaps he had forgotten that Doty,
a republican, was his first ,choice) and he
hoped the chair would discountenance such
an act. On balloting for candidates, Hon.
W. S. Hauford was nominated for Mayor,
Messrs, Doty and Ely receiving a few votes.
It was evident that the rank and file were in
the ascendency, and determined to nominate
their owu true blue men, and nobly succeeded,
with one exception. There was a seeming
need of a prince of parliamentarians, so they
nominated the veteran, The nominees are
Mayor, Winfield S. Handford.
Collector, Thomas Guyer.
Treasurer, James M. Lane.
Commissioner, Alden Solomon.
. Councilmen, Nelson J. Craw, Adolph
Olrich, H. R. Fitch, c. Swartz, H. Wilcox,
P. L. Cunningham.
Marshal, W. O. Merritt.
Registrar, Theodore Wilcox.
Inspector, N. J. Craw.
This was followed by the Union Republi-
can caucus at Military Hall,_ on Wednesday
evening. Judge Craw was appointed to pre-
side, and D. R. Selleck elected as clerk.
After the call of the meeting was read, the
question was raised whether all present Were
entitled to vote at. a Republican caucus.
The chair decided thatvhe could not tell, but
if a challenge of any vote was made, he
should entertain the motion. On an infor-
mal._ bgllot being taken for candidate for
maydr, Mayor "Ely received .82 votes and
Doty 92. , On .theiiformal ballot 192 votes
were cast. 0. E. Doty receiving 98 and D; P.
Ely 92.’ The chair declared C. E. Doty the
nominee of the convention, and on motion ‘of
Mayor Ely, the nomination was made unani-
mous, which was followed by great applause.
The nomination of councilmen followed, but
it was very apparent the “interest" had sub-
sided, as only 121 ballots were cast for the
first councilman (C. F. Hallock) nominated.
The balloting was continued, with many
close contests, with a tie or only a difference
of 3 to 5 votes, which the scattering votes
prevented from being a nomination. Before
the nominations were all made the number of
ballots had decreased to 84. The ticket nom-
inated is as follows, but who of all this great
multitude will be elected, can only be told
after the counting of the ballots, say at 9 or
10 o'clock this (Monday) evening.
Mayor, Charles E. Doty.
Treasurer, J. H. Ferris.
Collector, F. A Tolles.

The three churches on Main street joined
in a UnIOn Thanksgiving service at the Con-
gregational church on Thursday. Rev. J. M.
Taylor delivered an able discourse founded
on the language of 2 Sam. 23 25, “Oh that
one that would give me drink of the waters
of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the
Gate.” The services were made the more
interesting by the choir music prepared by
Professor Disbrow, and his choir.
A Sabbath School institute will be held on
Wednesday next at the Congregational
church, conducted by Frank A. Ferris, Esq.
Various exercises are planned for the morn-
ing and afternoon, and addresses by the
Borough and city pastors, in the evening.
Gas mains are laid in Franklin street, to
accommodate thcjorming factory. Undoubt-
edly two more gas lamps at the city’s ex-
pense, will replace those oil lamps on that
street. Rev. Algernon Downs, visited this
city his native place on Thanksgiving, visit-
ing his sister Mrs. A. Dickermun.

Msssus. Enrrons:~1n the month of June
Iinsertcd an advertisement in some of the
' Norwalk papers calling atttcution to a new
article in the line of Shingles. I afterwards
advertised that I would guarantee the Oscar
Fcnn Planed Parallel Shingles free from any
imperfection whatever. I did this after visit-
ing the Mill in Michigan and personally ex-
amining the mode of manufacture. In selling
them, I have in all cases, agreed to take back
and pay for every shingle that. did not come up
to this standard. I hare rewind over four
hundred thousand of them since that limo,
have been unable for portions of the time to
fill my orders, and have yet to‘recel‘re the first
shinglc back for any reason whatever or to find
any cuslwwr dzbsatzllfied with them. These
shingles are all shipped by rail, and owing to
the recent advances in Railroad freights must
hereafter be sold at the same advance in
price as I pay advance in freight. But while
in Michigan I bought a large lot. of triple x
sawed shingle not planed, shipped them by
water, and although justly entitled to the
advance, I propose right in the face of it, to
offer them for a limited time at the lowest
price that sawed shingle have reached in
November in twenty-three years. As evi-
dence of that fact I quote price for sawed
shingle in November, beginning 1854.

I offer these shingles at $4 50 during {the
remainder of this month. They are manu-
facturcd by John McGraw a: Co. of Bay City
in what is said to be the largest and most
complete mill in the world, and are equal in
quality to any Michigan shingle made. As
evidence of the standing of the above firm in
the trade, I quote from the New York Tri-
bune of October 28th, 1877.
The mill of John McGraw & Co., is at the
upper end of Bay City. The firm own 600
acres of land, and a third of their property is
occupied by the saw-mill, the salt works,
drying kilns, and other buildings and storage
places. The saw-mill has a greater capacity
than any other in this section, and is believed
to be the largest in the world. It is rated at
40,000,000 feet of lumber for the season, but,
if needed, could be worked up to double that
capacity. Over 350 men are employed, and
during the past six weeks over 200,000 feet
of lumber have been out every day. One day
when the mill was tested to its utmost capac-
ity, 180,000 feet were out in three hours, or
at the rate of 675,000 for the day of 11}
working hours. Indeed, 335,000 feet were
cut one day, not long ago, when the mill was
not driven hard. Last season over 31,000,-
000 feet were sawn by day, and about 6,000,.
000 by night. The drying»kilns have a
capmity of 500,000 feet of lumber. Here,
also, steam from the saw-mills, which would
otherwise be wasted, is used for drying the
lumber in the kilns. The salt works have a
capacity of 1 about 50,000 barrels for the
58880“.
I also offer shingles made by the same firm
and branded “Clear” which have six inch
clear butts and some knots in the tips, at the
very low price of $3 50 per M.
In addition to the above, I offer the entire
cut, for the season of the old original S. K.
dc Co. Rivcd Shingle at a very low figure,
considering the quality. _ I would respect-
fully' solicit an examination of the largest-and
best'assorted stock of dry lumber under cover
in this part of the State. Sash, doors, blinds
and moldings, sold as low as the lowest and
quality guaranteed.
