workers in W ood.

1t IL of course understood by most people in n
general way, that great part OF the work which
used to be done by hard manual labor Is now
done by machinery, but few people have any ac-
curate conception OF the extent to which this is
done. Neither is IL generally understood how
great have been the improvements in lnte years.
It is to some of these improvements MS shown in
one OF the immense wood working csLlblish-
ments in this city to which we wish now to call
our readers attention.
This morning we hastily glanced through the
establishment of Messrs. Springer, Morley aud
Cause at the N. West corner VI 81 !, Orange SITS.
Going into the well lighted basement we found
great piles OF rough hickory, oak aud other tim
Der lying around, and quite u number of heavy
machines doing the rougher sort OF work, saw
ing, turning out spukes, getting out lellOes dc.
In the first story we found II large ilUor-board
machine, for flooring or surface work, variety
moulding machine, " by which almost any kind
of moulding can be made, mortising machine,
and large number of lathcs and other turning
machines.
In the second story is the sash shop, with all
the machinery necessary for turning out sash and
doors; and ut the back of the same story was the
it, between the building and the adjoining ware
house, the steamng apparatus for stcnming the
ielloes, tyc., before bending. The two upper
stores and n large three story Stone house along
side the mill are used for storing finished work
for drying, &c. The establishment is devoted
entirely to wood work OF kind, that until Il
comparatively recent date, was done by hand.
To Keep IL supplied with material, the firm has a
large force of choppers employed in the woods
of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.; and also
u large saw mill constantly running in West Vir-
ginia.
They send their mouldings, sash, spokcs, and
telloes to all parts of the country, sending q
quantity to California, and have large trade in
our own city and ON the peninsula. Without es-
| Establishments like this, buildings could not be
erected with the rapidly they now ale.

The following Is the conclusion of a commune
cation to the Milford paper, Our .Hutuai friead:
The Convention would have been very harno-
NOUS had not Sussex and Kent failed to send a
full delegation. This neglect of the two lower
counties enabled more radical members OF the
party from New Castle County to carry a radical
resolution DISSOLUTION No. 81 to which three
fourths OF the party in the State are orposedand
which will be rescinded when the regular State
Convention meets to make the State Ticket. The
party IN this State is not in favor Of such radi-
cal policy and will not submit to it, VIsiToR.
MILFORD, April II, 1868.
We rather judge that the writer must he mis-
informed. A majority OF the Sussex delegation,
and several gentlemen from Kent, voted for the
third resolution" The statement that the reso-
luton twill be rescindcd" is anticipating matters
considerably and will, we presume, not be re.
allied, any sooner than the catching Of lalks
when the skies fall.
