and very large Foundry, within one
hundred yards of their former one ad /.

ed on South River. six miles below
Waynesborough, and one mile above

dent that they can do their work at least

itors. They have gone to vast expense
in their preparations, and are enabled
boldly to say. that they are prepared to
do CASTINGS Of any sort, and to
any extent. The public of course are a.
ware that the Castings wanted in this
large section Of country are too numer-
Gus to mention. but we would only beg
our friends to call with their orders. no

tons weight per piece, we are prepared
to execute them.
We also intend keeping Pattern.ma-
