Ns- VIRGINIA GRASITE.-Our former
townsman. Mr.. Hugh l.. Gallaher, has
recently received contract TO furnish
Virginia granite for paving the streets Of
New York city. The Richmond Dis
patch thus speaks Of this granite =
Few parsons are aware that the best
granite in The United States is found in
Virgiois, and tina, within very few miles
of The capital. 1t is perhaps as little
known iha, the streets Of Broadway, New
York, ale to be paved with the granite re-
ferred 10, and that other principal cities
of the North are to be in like manner
supplied With it. The Richmond Gram
tie Works have been in operation Tor
many years, but il is only since they
have been. under the present energetic
management that The reputation OF their
produc, has been achieved. A large force
is constantly employed al The quarry and
notwithstanding the inclemeni weather,
The lsbors OF The pest winter have been
crowned with comparative success.
About 200 tons of granite are now
ready in bucks for shipment north. A
few days ago blast was IN de Of such un-
usual size that we cannot forbear giving iis
dimensions. With about seventy five
pounds OF Hazards best powder was
thrown thiriy-sir feet from its bed a
stone containing $4,000 cubic ieet, 40
feel long, 25 feet wide, and % fee, deep.
Mr.. Gslaher has recently obtsined from
Charles Giedei, of New York, conirac.

Virginia stone. Mr.. Giede, will take for

This quantity is paid for al high rates,
and mus, be delivered between the 18th
of March and the Let Of November. 1868.
A large..quantily of the granite is also
used for cemetery work in northern cities,

passed. |, is chiefly noted for the straight.
