The New Cotton MIL at Woodberry.

It is always pleasant to record the develope-
ment Of resources and the improvements con.
stantly going on in the county. . TIE, better our
crops and dwellings, the better our roads and
schools, the more textensivelyour water poweris
applied TO mechanical purposes, the greater will
bethe aggregate wealth and happiness Of the
people The most extensive and important inn
provenent we have noticed in the county for
some time, is the new Cotton Factory, of Nelson
Gambrill, Esq at Woodberry, on the sc. r.
w. The building is massive STRUCTURE ofstone,
three stories high, 800 feet in length, 60 feet in
width and covered with Slate 22e 9fna91 9n y
It is designed for the manufacture Of Muslin
and Cotton Duck, the latter being heavy goods
used for sails, tents &c. The Mill will have 1000
spindes with capacity ,of200 looms, and will
be driven by an engine of300 Horsepower. 1t
will be capable of manufacturing 6eOOl lbs. of
Goods peFday, which would be about 10000
yards of Muslin 1t will require $50 hands TO
run the mill, at cost of about $500 per day
The building aud machinery will be of the first
class, and when completed, viii be probably the
finest cotton manufacturing establishment il. the
State. Mr.. Isaac Crowther does the mason work
Stephen Barton, Carpenter Mr.. Gault, Slater;
Mr.. Dorenins, Plasterer, all of whom are first
class workmen. The engine is being b6iltAbJ
Messrs. Poole & Hunt, at their extensive estab-
lishment in the same village. SS,
In addition to the mill, Mr. GambrilI is hay
ing number of handsome. and comfortable
dwellings erected for the residence of operatives
in the mill. The mill itselfi is named "Druid, !"
after the Park, and that part of the7ilIage North
of Jones Falls and adjoining the mill, will here
attire be known as 'SDruidvle The entire
cost of mill, machinery, new dwellings &c, will
be about $3.50, 900. Its expected to have it in
operation, earlyi in the coming year. nAdl lsijo'
aWoodberry is one of the most hourishfng nian-
ufacturing villages in the country. The two
large cotton mills Of ,Messrs. VIM. =. Hooper 4
Sons now running day and, night; the extern
sve and well-known machine shops, of Messrs.
Poole Hunt, and the new mill of Mr. Gambrill,
give employment to large number Of operatives.
And we venture. to say there is not q manpfac7
turing town in. the United Statesn where the ope7
ratiFes have better dwellihgsIors live more yeom+
foftably than at woodbury. Tie town has a
handsome stone church, a good Public School,
house, and with its pretty cottages and more
stately residences strewn, oyer the neighboring
hill-sides, presents a most heautiful and roman
tic appearance. 20 Ham oai .yraIia09 Cd
