sUseUEHANNA STEAM TOW BOAT LINE.

SUSQ JOHANNA STEAM TOW BOAT LINE.
In the Journal of 9TH June we advcrtcd to the
measures that then in progress towards estab-
fishing a line of Steam Tow Boats between Balt-
more and Havre de- Grace for the purpose of facii-
tatng business with our Pennsylvania ncighbors
along the line of the Susquehanna and its tributary
canals; and although we have for some time known
that Company organized and through the per-
severng cxertions of one more of them funds had
been raised to make beginning, and that the keels
of two Boats were laid and their building in good
forwardncss, we have forcborne touching upon the
subject until now-and now are pleased to have
it in power to say, that the President and Drec-
tors, (Mr. MICHAEL Herr filling the offices of the
former, and Messrs. THOMAS WILSON, MICHAEL
STILLINGER, ALEXANDER L. BoGGs, WILLIAM MA
SON, and JAMES FRAZIER, senr., the office OF the
latter) are making every possible effort to have both
Boats completed and in readiness for the spring
trade on the opening of the Pennsylvania canals.
And there needs no better guarantee, think that
such will be the case, when it is known that Mcssrs.
John S. Brown s. Co. the carpenters, Messrs.
A. & c. Reedcr the engineers, and Mr.. Frederick
Earickson the joiner and all under the supervision
of the building committee, composed of Messrs. M
Herr w. Mason, and James Frazier, scnr., portion
of whom, ALL continue to give such personal attcn-
ton to the enterprise its Importance requires and
such is the state of forwardness of the Boats at thi.
time that we are assured, should the weather con
tinuc favorable both will be launched by Christmas.
And in regard to their adaptation for the bust
ness for which they have been, or are to be, con
sructed. They built of the best materials on tn
most approved plan; to be each of about 2io tom

Boat has been destroyed by fire. She caught last
Tuesday night about I O'Clock, whilst lying at her
wharf on West Falls Avenue, and burnt to the VIA
ter's edge. The boat, we learn, had been employed
in towing out vessel during the day, and had come
TO at her wharf about O'clock when her fires were
put out, and shortly afterwards all the hands, with
the exception of the cook, left for their homes The
cook was employed in the forward part of the boat,
when his attention attracted by dense smoke,
and on going aft he found the whole hold in flames.
He Immediately attempted TO give the alarm BY ring
ing the bell, but failed in attracting attention for
some time, during which the fire gained much
cntlrclcy useless. The fire commenced near the
furnaces and is supposed to have originated accdcn-
tally. The Patapsco was employed tow and

when necessary will anthracite coal as fuel; and
will draw only about A. feet 1t is thought that
these Boats will be sufficiently large and powerful
to subserve all the requirements of the trade at least
for the present. 1t is therefore to be hoped that
goody portion of the business from the Susquehanna
region, which formerly directed through its nau-
raj channel to the Baltimore market, but which of
late years has been diverted by artificial (su
pcror -boats) to Philadelphia, will hereafter by
the cxertions of the "Susquchanna Steam Towing
Company" be recovered, and Baltimore again by
fair and honorable competition, and her superior
Tow Boats, receive that portion to which she is
turalIY entitled.

BALTIMoRE.-BEEF AND PORK PACKING.


| We have had occasion in former remark
upon the subject of the increase of the Beef and
Pork Packing Business in this city, and referred TO
that of Mr.. John d. Early and Mcssrs. Van Brunt
& Adams-the latter recently changed TO Adams s.
Stevenson-and now, with still further enlarge
ment Of operations, well with those previously
engaged as well as new ones in the field, we take
pleasure in referring to the very extensive establish
ment of Mr.. HARRY KIMBERLY. 1t fronts, as we
learn from the American, Sc feet Beurcn street,
running back to Jones' Falls, and is five stories high
in capacity the two lower stories being under ground
The cutting is situated in the lower story;
above this is the ice house, capable of containing
many thousand bushels; the first floor from the street
is used for cutting up, packing and storing the meat,
and for the transaction of the business of the
establishment; the upper stories used for storing
meat, and for other purposes connected with the
establishment. The arrangement of the ice house
and curing room is on patented principle and in
temperature in the latter of about "a degrees
the whole year round, thus enabling the proprietor
to cure meat in the hottest weather well in the
coolest In the and attached to the main
building is the smoke house, the dimensions of which
admit the smoking of large quantity of bacon and
beef The slaughter house, where the hogs and cat
tie are killed, is Centre street, the close proximity
of woich TO the packing establishment enables the
proprietor to carry his operations with
great facility.
With view of having every branch of the bust
under his supervision, and that orders may
be executed at the lowest possible prices and without
disappointment, Mr.. Kimberly has added to his
Germ cooper shop, where number of hands are
kept constantly work in the manufacture of barrels
for packing meat.
The excellent quality of the beef and pork pre-.
pared by Mr.. Kimberly has given him an enviablc
character as a packer and the facilities which he
enjoys in his newly erected establishment will
enable him fully to maintain and, if possible TO in
crease the reputation of the articles bearing his
brand.
Attached to this extensive is a candle fac
tory, where all the taow usually applied to such
purposes is promptly converted into candles. The
great extent Of Mr.. KS business gives employment
to a large number of hands.
