SPRINGFIELD ARMORY.
IFrom the Boston Adverdscr.l

On recent visit to the National Armory at Springfield
found it exhibiting its usual aspect of busy and intel
gent industry We learned that the figures for the past
year. recently calculated showed that the average cost
of manufacturing each muske is ($l4 0l A. fourteen dol
lars one cent and four mills This average is obtained
by dividing the whole cost of maintaining the armory
for one year. including all the items whatsoever by the
whole number of muskets manufactured within the year
The m,sket consists of 80 separate pieces which are
manufactured in different parts Of the works. and finished
with such r;cety that they may be put together inds-
orminatc that If it should be necessary at the
OF war; damaged muskes may be repaired by simply
ncwng the broken part or one good muskct may be
made from the pieces of two that have sustained different
injuries The whole number of persons employed at the
amory is $40 From fifteen to twenty thousand muskes
manufactured every year. The large arsenal build
ing contains quarter of million of muskets stored
ready for any emergency part OF these had been
dered to be transferred shortly to Washington Territory
From the ,f Of this building splendid view of the
surrounding country is obtained the elevation being
about 22O feet above the Connecticut river The water
shops the Mill river which formerly scattered Mt
three different points along that stream have been col
lected at the uppermost fall, where and spacious
buildings have been erected An immense power is OBJ
