"Philadelphia Petroleum Barrel Company"
nave in course of erection here one OF the
largest barrel factories in this State. 1t IS
located on French Creek Flats, a short dis
tanceb below the southern boundary of the
borough, and extends frem the canal to the
track of the A. & G. ". Railway. The
building will be $50 by so feet. The canal
front, in which the office of the Company
will be. is 10 DO two stories high; he re-
mainder of the building is to be but one
story in height, and used exclusively for
the machinery necessary for the manufsc-
ture Of bands. The engine and boiler rooms
are to be separate from the main building.

ample room for several more of the same
sort.

For the privilege of hearing this piece the
"'by request" man should have passed his
hat around for penny contributions to pay
him for his trouble.
1t is remarkable what apenchant THU
troupe has for old pieces of music, and
, stranger still, that they should persist il
their performances after receiving the crit
