-. CONTRACTORS AT WoRK.-Messrs. H. H.
Crumlish and j. T. Griffith, the gentlemen
who contracted for the railroad in Delaware.
mentioned BY us two weeks ago, arrived at
Georgetown, in that State, with their forces,
on the 18th ultimo, and commenced opera
tious at once. The new road is styled the
%'Frankford and Breakwater," and, as a pri>
vate letter from Mr.. Griffith informs us, the
soil is sandy, and therefore not being pre-
vented By frost and wet weather, the work is
progressing finely. Mr.. Griffith being
former citizen of Jefferson and an old and
stauneh patron of the Spirit, VI are pleased
to learn that the prospects of the firm of which
he is member are SO promising. At the
same time We can assure our Delaware friends
that in Mr.. G. they have with them a clever,
Intelligent aud euterprising gentleman, and a
man of the s;rictest integrity of character.
OUR New PLoueus-Happcniue in the
extensive foundry and machine shops of
Messrs- Weirick & Weller, oc this place, one
day last week, we were struck with the large
number of ttlcse valuable implements there
arrayed-some completed and ready for mar
ket and others in process of construction
These phOushs are made of the very kcst ma
terial, and being sold under guarantee of
giving satisfaction, find a ready sale-about
one hundred being manufactured and sold by
this firm annually. Every farmer in Jefferson
should have ona or more, and we therefore
recomsnend to our agriculturists the propricty
OF securing good implement and at the same
time lending encouragement to a home in
dustry, conducted by energetic and reliable
business men.
