WARREN MANUFACTURES.
steam Forge.

In accordance with promise, severa
weeks ago, to notice the different Manu-
featuring establishments OF Warren, We
commence the pleasing task, and will frs.
speak of the Steam Forge, owned by iii,
Warren Iron Company. The company
was organized in the Spring of 1865, by
Messrs. Warren Packard and R. H. Bar
mum, two of our most energetic bushes.
men. The forge was erected under the
superintendence of Edward Bostwick, Of
Pittsburgh. The furnaces were made by
Messrs. Hull, Darling & Co, of Warren.
The trip hammers, of which there are
TWO, are the patent of James Watt, and
were COTTON up by the South Boston Iron
Co., Mass, and are perfect pieces of me-
chsnism. The engines were built by
Messrs. Bostwick, Simpson & Co. machin-
lists, Warren. The first set of hammer
men were obtained from Cleveland, and
those now at work, from Buffalo. About
twenty men are constantly employed, and
are capable of turning out twelve tuns of
non weekly. The demand for the iron is
greater than the supply, and has been so
from the start, a circumstance no doubt
gratifying TO the company Quite a num-
Der of teams are constantly employed,
hauling material to and from the forge.
The company have built a side track to
run from the Mahoning branch of the At
lantic & Great Western rail road to facili-
tate the shipment OF iron and coal. The
scrap iron, of which a very large amount
is necessarily required, is obtained from
the different workshops along rail road
lines, and from all parts of the country.
We cannot finish this notice, without
speaking Of an excellent machine by
which the boilers are supplied with wa
ter, called the injector. 1t does away
with the old fashioned pumps, and is a
vast improvement on the old style. The
steam from the boiler, heats the water,
and forces it into the boiler, a simple con
.trIvance, and one that is coming rapidly
into use. We were unable to learn the
name of the inventor. To those who
have never seen the trip hammers, in &C
tive operation, it is really a curiosity.
and is worth the while of any man to Wis
it. 1t speaks volumes in praise of the
gentlemen who organized the company,
AID it would be a good idea if other mon
led men of our town would make invest
ments of their surplus capital, in manu-
featuring establishments, which would
result to their benefit and to the adVan-
Of the town. The forge is under the
superintendence of Mr.. Hugh Watson, a
practical mechanic, who thoroughly I'M
ierstands his business, and a gentleman.
To him we are indebted for favors shown.

A New live ntiOn.

There have been u m er Gus attempts
to invent q machine that would do
away with the drudgery of the washtub.
Washing day is p~roverbially a cloudy, and
perchance at times a stormy day, IN do
mestic life; but human ingenuity has at
last come to the relief of the weary laun-
dress, and a machine is now presented
which seems to be in advance of anything
offered the public. Mr.. Joseph Adams.
of GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin, and fromerly OF
this place, is the lucky inventor. A
company has been formed in this place
for extensively manufacturing the ma
chine. 1t took the first premium at the
last Wisconsin State Fair, over IA COM
lpetitors, among which was the celebrated
Doty machine, which has been the pre-
MUM achine at State Fairs for years N
past. We saw one of the Adams ma
chimes operate a few days since, and be-
lieve it is properly named the Ne Plus
Ultra" being the most complete washer
we have ever seen. 1t is very easily op-
Grated, does notRTear the clothes. lie
quires but little water, does not slop,
takes but little room AID is easily moved
about. 1t is durably constructed, ana
will last for years. 1t does its work well
and quickly. Notice viii soon be given
when this mschine will be On exhibition
We predict for it great popularity aud
success.

FRIEND CHRoYIcLE:-There is little TO record at
present in our quiet country town. Our wintry
days are passing pleasantly away. and our nightly
rest is unbrOken. No %snorting. shrieking locomo-
tive is heard in our streets; no bells disturb our
slumbers with the hoarse alarm of fire; no crowds
gather on our sidewalks or obstruet our crossings
and no careless omnibus driver or drayman puts
in peril the lives Of our pedestrians.
think I have not mentioned the industry Of
the ladies of this place as yet. We have, ofcourse,
%ailliners and dressmake rs noted for their artistic
taste and skill. and in one establis hment. that of
Mrs Hufstetter. quite a number of young ladies
are fitting themselves for the trade of tailoress.-
Hereafter If cur garments are not t~astefully and
substantially made, it will be no fault of theirs.
Our debating club fourishes finely. The question
as to the propriety Of ~inficting capital punish

negro suffrage will be. no doubt. fully settled at
the next meeting. Measures are being taken to

EDITOR CHROSIcLE=-In my last I gave a few
items in regard TO a fare up" in one Of our schools;
I believe that affair has been settled. but it seems
there is some evil genius haunts that district. as
there has been another row. and more serious to
one Of the parties concerned in it, than the first
one. As report has it, there was a singing school
in the school house one evening last week. and
after the singers had been dismissed. two lads. one
Of whom figured so large lis in the school disurb-
ance, got to quarreling and soon pitched INTO each
other in true Hibernian style. 0ae Of the two
being from Hubbard. had his friends who pro-
claimed that the boys should fight it out; the
frien ds of the other party consentiDg. all stood
back. and permitted the brutal affair TO c ontinue
for half or thres-quarters Of an hour. at which
time the foolish eombattants were toIerably we'll
used up. The proceeds of the fight realised by the
Liberty boy were one black eye. a bite taken from
one hand, and a thumb tOlerably well girdled.-
Evidently Liberty makes a move once in a while ..
at least in the locality referred to-. W.
