MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

An Important Portland Industry.
wooDMAN & wHIrNEY's FURNITURE EsTAB-
LIsHMENT
In common with the public generally we
had known that those enterprising business
men, Messrs. Woodman & Whitney, bad
erected buildings on the former site of Corey
& Co.'s furniture establishment on the west
side of Exchange street, and were carrying on
the furniture business, but We had no idea as
to the extent of their operations aud were sur
prised at finding one of the largest and most
complete of establishments. .--
To their main building, handsome three
story structure, which was erected last season
by Messrs. Woodman & Whitney, they have
connected building at the rear, also erected
by them, and have leased and connected the
new Thomas block, next below them, the
greater portion Of which they also occupy.
A GLANCE AT THE PREMISES.
Entering from Exchange street we find our
serves IN spacious store 80 feet wide by 80 feet
| deep' This place is crowded with goods Of va
eous descriptions of household furnishings o
all KINDS, Including crockery, carpetings, pa
per hangings, kitchen utensils. as well as fur.
niture. Glancing about and wondering what
hOusekeeper would desire and not find here
we proceed to room in the rear, SO by AZ
which we find stocked with rich and beautiful
furniture, for the parlor, tbe hall and the bou
doir. Lingering little especially to admire
the elaborate walnut sets and the pretty table,
of various descriptions, we proceed to the base
ment, fully stored with crockery ware, feath
ers, and then up to
THE SECOND FLOOR.
Entering upon room the same size rs tn'

descriptions, from the durable ard reasonable
in price to the most rich and elegant.
THE UPHOLSTERY ROOM
which fronts on Exchange street, is filed with
skilled workmen, busy in the art lof upsetting
the time honored theory that"the feshiest per-
son has the softest seat' With look into
the sewing room and large room at the rear,
densely packed with stock, we 90

into the third story. 1t is busy scene here.
The oilers and ipainters and finishsrs are at
work. Here the comparatively rough land
naked woods are made to assume garments of
beauty and the work is done with thorough
hFss ana care, and nicely of detail that chal-
lenges admiration.
Messrs. Woodman and Whitney, after pro-
curing the best woods from the best factories,
execute the whole remaining process of manu-
iacture upon their own premises. No defects
IN the native woods are disguised, because
they contract only for the perfect and if the
woods are not Just what they purport to be
they are returned. Hence the reliable quality
of their goods.
It will be seen from this that Messrs aW ood-
man & Whitney are already prosecuting a
very extensive business, and their trade, we
are pleased to learn, is rapidly increasing and
extending to the neighboring States They
intend to very materially increase their opera
tions this spring and will devote themselves
more extensively and exclusively to furniture

ARTIFICIAL LEGS. by reference to our ad-

tanned letters patent upon, important improve

entirely new feature, by which the weight o

amputation was made. 1t consists (as may b.
seen in the wood cut in his ADVERTISEMENT of
