The CentrIpeIaI :. Power Machine
uufactOTy Established In Wheel

We have the satisfaction ot announcing
,hst an arrangement was concluded yes
,erday between MeSsrs SMITH s. Co., The
proprletofs Of the Cenulpetal.P Power Ma
chimes and 4 6numberoE6ur citizens, for tht
manufacture Of the machines In this city
The territory covered by the agreement
wherein the Wheeling Company Is tt
have the exclusive right ol sale, embraces
theEhole Of West Virginia ahd about
dozsn counties Of Western Pennsylvania
running north az far as.MerCer county
and taking In tho city Of Pittsburgh.
The following are the gentlemen who
hRye subscribed the sum required 10 con.
summate the purchase Of the territory re-
ierred to and who propose TO engage in
The manufacture OF the machines: Messrs.
0. g. DEWEY, (OH HMesrs. DEWEY, VANcE
l. Co., proprietors of the Riverside Nail
works and FurnaceD JOHN q. HoBBsf f(ot
J,H. HoDBs, .BRoCKUNIER & Co., oI the
South Wheeling Glass WorksD JosEPR D.
DUBOIS, (of the Belmont Nail Works.
MORGAN L. OFT and WIN. Il BALL, (ot
Messrs. Orr HALL & Co., wholesale
hardware merchantsO and THOMAS
HUGHEs, (ol Messrs. THos. HUdHEs &
CO., Merchant TaIlors) These gentle.
men are cmong the most substan.
tIsl and successful business men
in the city. Their names afford guaran-
ly that the enterprise will be put on the
very best basis and made as successful Rs
ample resources and good management
can make 1t. We may add that the stock
required was all taken by half.past four
yesterday afternoon; and that number
Of gentlemen who had expressed wish
to subscribe were too late to do so. It was
evident, indeed, that two or three times
the sumneeded could have been had; and
il is rather to be regretted, we think,
that much larger territory was not en-
braced In Messrs. SMITH s. Cos. sched.
ule.
We learn that the purchasers above
named purpose to erect large and model
establishment in tho southern part Of tho
city, where coal Is convenient and where
u switch Of tho Baltimore s. Ohio Rail-
road. by, which most Of their.lumber will
be brought to the city can be run directly
into the works. f7-n ....
The several machines which will be
made, all readily attached to the power,
propelled by a single horse, arc: A
rhresher, Planer, Sitting Saw, a
Wood Saw, o Rip Cutter, a Borer, bay,
Straw and Oornstalk Cutter, Cider
Mill, a GriSt Mill and Corn Shelter.
These machines arc all OF superior per.
lormRnCe and some Of them marvelG In
their way, as demonstrated every day by
their actual operation in this city. OF
their universal usefulness and enormous
sale there can be no dOnbt A great many
orders have already been giveuto Messrs.
SAITH & Company here, and these they
turn over to the Wheeling Company.
We have never known an enterprise
nooted here which commanded more
fully the confidence OF all who have ex'
amined lis merits, and tho reason is that
tho proprietors have not content
I'd themselves with the exhibition Of
models and an explanation Of princl.
pies, but they have brought their
working machines here and set them
up and have shown visitors every day for
weeks, by actual work, what they will do.
Seeing Is believing. The gentlemen pro-
posing 10 engage in their manufacture
have seen Just what the machines will do,
and knOtO that they are wanted every
where; they have figured carefully the
cost oil manufacture and the resources Of
their territory, and have satisfied them.
selves that the business will yield hand
some profit.
The establishment Of manufactures Oi
such general utility as these, like that Of
the Superior Moving Machine, is worth
u good deal more to Wheeling than tho
simple profit realized by those investing
IN them. They advertise the city far
and near; and In bringing customers
from an extensive region for one particu'
lar kind Of wares they bring purchasers
Tor all other wares and merchandise that
we may have to sell. And the setting up
ol such enterprises now Is one Of the most
encouraging promises this city has ever
bad Tor a growing future. Wheeling, we
learn will be the only point on the
Ohio river where tho Centripetal.P Power
Machines will be made. Even the
great manufacturing city Of Pittsburgh
was passed by the proprietos because
they deemed Wheeling a better point
Tor their manufacture. And so II
is. We have moro abundant and
cheaper coal and timber, and facilities
for shipment equal to those found any.
where; and this being true, we see no.
limit to the manufacturing future OF
Wheeling save as it may be found in the
capital and enterprise of our citizens. 1t
IS desIrable, too, let US suggest, that our
industries should be more varied than they
are. Itlsnot best TO devote all our ener-
Ries TO single class Of manufactures. A
varied Industry inSureS a higher and
more Uniform prosperity than can
