A MODEL ESrABLIsHMENT.-The new pork
factory Of Thompson & Fuller, which was
opened this week, is model establishment of
its kind The buildings are well adapted to
the purposes for which they are used, and the
new and improved machinery is really curl
osity. Five hundred and fifty hogs can be dis
posed of and converted into excellent pork
in a day. The work, except the throat
cutting, is all done by machinery, and the hog
from the time he enters the slaughter house to
the time he entersthe packing barrel, has an
excellent chance to test the results of yankee
ingenuity. A detailed account of the operation
would scarcely be very entertaining. The mar
ket is chiefly in the Southern and Western
states The nei tness Of the establishment Is
very noticeable.

STREET PAvING.-Considerab interest has
been taken by our citizens of late in regard to
street paving. The fine condition of Free
street, which has been macadamized, and of
the parts Of streets that have been paved with
wood, cobble-stones, and granite blocks, has
brought out an inquiry in regard to the relative
costs of each. The work on Free street cost
about $275 per square yard, while cobble-
stoues cost but $175. Granite blocks cost
$2.S5, and wooden blocks $40. By the cost is
meant the excavation, sand, labor, &c. In
Boston it costs $500 pr yard to macadamize a
street, and in like proportion for paving.
The wooden pavement that has been laid is
giving good satisfaction, and it will probably
become the pavement in few years on all the
streets except those where there is good deal
of heavy teamlng, where granite blocks OF
cobble.stones are no doubt better.
