ET TIT TT II TIS RII In passing sheeting boards throngh this machine groves about one- forth 'of an inch deep and about 'one inch and u half apart are cut along the boards; so that the sheot- ing and lath are in one piece, and when the sheeting is nailed on the house is lathed and nothing further is required than to put on the plaster. This is eertainly a at improve- ment both'&s to dispatch, perfection in lathing and'economiy. is mode of lathing is now being 'universally preferred wherever it is known and can be had." The honor of the in vention belongs to Mr. Wm. White of this town. The second story of the factory is chiefly used for finish-- ing and putting the work together, and here also none but the best workmen are employed. From this we passed to the Fanning Mill Factory,.and here too the work is being pushed with the utmost energy while the mills are being passed through every stage of progress from the first cutting up to the perfected machine; and they are decidedly superior mills ; and the best proof of their superiority is inthe fact that of the vast numbers which they have manufactured during the present year there is none left on hand. Besides their factory business this firm drives an extensive business outside as contractors for buildings. They have now under weigh some of the finest buildings in this town, such as the new Town Hall and the fine residences of Mr. Mark Currie and Mr, Ewen Cameron, a fine residence for Mr. Stickney at Myrtle and several smaller buildings around. There are thirty men now employed here within and around the factory, which, as 'Superior mechanic's wages now run, must circulate around the village a large weekly amount. We next songht our way to Paxton, Tate & Co's Works, and entering the prin- cipal room we got into a perfect forest ot wheels, pulleys and belts, turning and twist- ing in every direction, but every turn had its purpose. Here we find every variety of machinery for the manufacture of the best descriptions of such machines as these works undertake. The Turbine Water Wheel is manufactured here to a very great extent, not unfrequently turning out for months to- gether at the rate ot ten per month on an average, These wheels as manufactured by Paxton, Tate & Co., are universal' favorites wherever they are known. The demand for them has been so great during the past sum- mer that the works have been run day and night all through the summcr and yet they could scarcely supply the demand. This preference is due to the superior quality of SOURCES OF STRENGTH. i "That manufactures are {mportant = sources of strength to any commu- nity is an axiom in municipal : economy the truth of which all are ready to admit; and there is per- haps no other way in which capital can be employed from which greater and more direct benefits are derived by the community according to the "amount invested. Qn an average every thousand dollars invested in manufactures maintains one family. . © We do not mean to say that the pro- ts of a thousand dollars so invested would -be sufficient to maintain a family, but we do say that for every thousand dollars floating capital em- ployed in any manufacturing enter- prise there is on an average onefamily maintained. Hence as a general rule manufacturers are public bene- factors in proportion to the capital invested; consequently the founda- tions of u community stand strong in proportion to the oxtent of its manfactures, other things being equal. In this respect .Port Perry occupies an important position and has already laid the foundations of a prosperous future. ~ Besides the ex- tensive manufactures - mentioned in our last, the lumber manufactures of Paxton, Bigelow & Trounce turn- ing out four millions of feet annually, i and shingles, staves and headings to the extent of many thousands daily. We also referred to the excellent Grist Mill belonging to this same Company; to Mr. Richardson's Plan. ing Mill, Door and Sash Factory.-- We have since had the pleasure of! assing over the works of W. S. os Esq. These works are fire- ly located on the lake shore with a convenient wharf to the east and a large esplanade constructed with the refuse from the works, conveni- "enfly stretching to the north and west and forming a portion of the western 'lumber yard.

The number and excellence of tho manufactures {we already possess only tend to| ;open the way for more; as it must | be self-evident to all that additional manufactures may be carried on to much greater advantage by having the co-operation of other factories | than they can be without such co- | opbration. Ther can thus supply | themselves with everything they may require. Suppose for instance; that cast- ings are wanted the foundry is at hand to supply them. Sappose that lumber is required there are three extensive factories from which to select. Again we have two excel- lent factories where we can have the lumber trimmed up for any purpose for which we may desire it; and thus additional factories so far from interfering with or obstructing each other only help each other along and cause cach to be more profitable and more advantageously carried on from the mutual assistance they give to each other. This is the most profitable and most advantage- ous bonus which could be offered to additional manufacturing enterpris. es. This is obvious to'all who consider the facilities afforded by the manu- factures already established, the great and superior adyantages we {enjoy from our unequaled facilities for. transit, sitting as we do at the | head of so important an inland nav- (igation with facilities for getting to | the front unsurpassed by that ot any | [ther similiarly situated fown in !1he Province.

The Subscriber is not unaware of the mean, contemptible and unprofessional course adopted towards him by a certain disappointed unsuccessful rival in order if possible to in- Jure his business. The Subscriber is always willing to give, and never asks more than a fair field and honor- able competition, but when an unsuccessful rivat will descend so low as to circulate false and groundless reports in order to injure the practice of a rival, if he were not beneath con- tempt, he ought to be exposed to universal ridicule. However, such a course never fails in securing that punishment which is certain to follow--the utter contempt of an intelli- gent community. The Subscriber would "further state to his patronsanl friends that when a spiteful, un- successful rival tells them, that Harnden is about to leave this locality or insinuates that kinds of produce, and this is especi- where in overy instance the very highest figure the market will allow is uniformly paid for every kind of produce, and where the market is justly regarded as the leading mar- ket of the county. The general market of this conti- nent and even of Europe to a certain extent has never yet recovered the it received from the late monetary disaster in the United States. 'Our money market never was affected by it but our grain n.ar- kets were shaken to their very cen- tre and for a time nearly prostrated. They overcame the effects to a cer- tain extent but even up to this time they have not 'regained that buoy- ancy which they would have had had that money crash not taken place. Our money market though not to call flush is in a healthy state. Our Bank Stocks are all held at a pre- mium except the Royal Canadian which is close upon par. The Grain Market, except Barley, is both weak and sluggish, buyers appearing to be less anxious than sellers. Liverpool markets are weak and faltering and appear more inclined to fall than rise; but they must have a large quantity of 1t at some price and we are much mis- taken if they do not pay consider- ably more for it than they now anti- cipate;and if we are not far mistaken the price of wheat wi]l be considér- ably higher than it vow is. Our grain market since our last has not varied much. Fall wheat has hovered around $1.20. Spring wheat has been weak but steady, bringing $1.07, while Barley has been both active and strong at$1.14. 'The tollowing are our market quotations as we go to press.
