We looked through the Pail aud
Tub Factory Of J. Rab!in, at Hurley
vile, last Saturday. Mr., J. Andrews,
/ the manager of the business for Mr..
/ Rablin. took US around. The factory
building is 30x60 feet at present, i
being the intention Of Mr. Z. to erect
an additional one 30x100 feet the
/ present season, also two dry houses, the
| present one being altogether too small
/ for the increasing business. The fac
tory, together with the mill, employs
at present % hands, turning out $50
pals per day. This force viii be in
creased when the large tub lathe shall
have been put in operation, which VII!
be probably rot longer than June. The
slaves for the pals are prepared from
logs cut the proper length, and sawed
by a circular saw resembling q length
Of stove pipe. The slaves pass from
the saw TO the Piliug yard and dry
house, where they are thoroughly sea
soned, after which they are taken to
the factory to be fashioned by cunning
" devised machinery into pals Of all
patterns. One man sets up the slaves,
securing them with a strong iron hoop;
another places the skeleton upon . re-
volving cylinder, and in an instant it IS
Invested Of its Grade surface and sand
papered and the hoops crowded to their
places by lever process it then pass
es to third man who bevels and 9TH
erwise prepares it for other hands who
put upon it the finishing touches to
make it ready FOR the paint shop, where
1t is painted and bailed.
The building for finishing is 30x50
feet, connected wish the factory by an
elevated bridge over the highway run
ming to Port Edwards. Innumerable
cords Of slaves for pals and tubs are
piled awaiting seasoning. The mill is
cutting upwards of ten cords of slaves
a day.
The pals on hand number 1900
ready for shipping, and 10000 more
are in process Of construction, with
$4,000 bottoms ready for immediate
use. The factory uses ten tons Of cop
per bail wire per year, and 40 tons Of
hoop iron. 1Ir. R. is shipping contin-
ualIy from the factory, his wares ind
ing sales at all points east, south and
west. The proposed tub factory will
turn cut Nos. /, ana 3 tubs, aggre-
eating $50 per day, all sizes. The w.
V r. r. runs a branch track to the
factory, which greatly facilitates ship
ping. We found Mr.. Y. Talmadge in
general supervision OF the machinery,
d careful, considerable man, and an ox-
ceIIont miIlwrisht. In the counting
room We greeted IIr. NJ. Rourke, one
Of the most efficient book keepers in the
pinery. We saw much in connection
with tEa business which we cannot give
in detail, but will state that the factory
is open to the public. Those desiring
to behold its mysteries can be accomo-
dated, The industry SO recently es-
tablished IS becoming a power, and
must become a great source Of revenue
10 its proprietor, whose enterprise has
builded It.

4 Birth Day Prasent.-We were
either so fortunate or unfortunate as to
have kept top Of dirt just forty years,
last Saturday the 10th inst. Just
think Of it, Forty years in Wood
county and alive Our little daugh-
ter having an idea Of the appropriate
ness of things made US four story
mansari roof cake with much sweet
ness and delicious beverage inside,
with snow drift on top and dotted all
over with frosted hy-specs or periods,
We guess they must have been periods
for we were obliged to come to a full
stop before we had hardly been intro
doced.
One, and one thing only, made US
feel that our dignity was impaired aud
that ours was partnership concern,
and that was, to have our little girl
asked her ma If she could not have
a piece, after all the right and title
had been vested in Us, and we two
score years along on the great highway
Of life. It's pleasant to have birth
