Manufactures in San Fran
cisco.

The San Francisco Bulletin claims for
that city first rank among the manu-.
featuring cities Of the Union, and backs
up its claim by an interesting array Of
statistics. The manufactures for the year
1871 equaled s52,603,475 in value,
without including the value Of gold and
silver refined. The value for 1874 was
SCI, 1888, $50, an increase Of over 20 per
cent. in three years. The advance in all
Of the industrial interests has not been
equally rapid. The principal manufac.
turo is machinery, generally for mining
purposes, the value of this item last year
being SIS SOC, an increase of over AZ
per cent. on the value for 1871. The
year was particularly prosperous among
the foundries. Other leading industries
are lead refining and manufacture, brass
founding, leather production and manu-.
facture, and manufactures of wooden
goods. The manufacturing resources Of
San Francisco are, like the people, varied
and cosmopolitan, no individual branch
Of industry looming up with particular
prominence. There may at some time
be developed some industrial speciality
but what it is to be is not yet indicated
There are serious drawbacks impeding the
progress Of all manufacturing industry il
the city, the most serious being scarcity
of skilled labor and cheap fuel. Dear
coal and dear iron have long stood in the
way Of the manufacturer aud do SO still

Incidents of the Montpelier
Fire.

The Argus and Patriot gives the fol.
lowing incidents Of the love Of dumb
beasts for their progeny, and also to
those who may have shown them kindness,
observed during the recent fire in that
town:
. d" While the Scribner mouse was burn.
ing, large dog owned by Gilman d.
Scribner, Of which his wife had been par.
ticularly fond, refused to leave the build.
ing unless accompanied by Mrs. Scribner.
While Mr.. Scribner was busily engaged
in removing goods, his wife remained in
in the house for the purpose of packing
the same, so ns to render them easy Of
transportation. Several times they en-.
deavored to coax the dog to place Of
safety, but without avail. AS the fire
increased in volume, and approached this
spot, the anxiety of the dog for the safety
of his mistress became moro noticeable.
He would 90 to the door, take look at
at the impending danger, then 60 back,
and catching Mrs. Scribner by the dress
with his teeth, seem to pitcously entreat
her to go with him.
AT last she was compelled to leave the
house, and the dog catching hold Of her
dress, gently led the way to Berlin side,
urging his charge along whenever she
CHANGED to stop for any purpose, On that
side Of the river he felt that safety was
to be found, and as soon as his mistress
had crossed the bridge her dress was re.
leased, the animal showing by every
demonstration in his power the JOY which
he felt over the safety Of his mistress
Throughout the entire conhagration the
dog continually lowered about Mrs
Scribner, watching her every moment in.
tently, and only resting when the last oil
the danger had passed.
At the barn of Carl l.. Smith was wit
nessesed spectacle Of parental devotion
which could not be exceled, and bu
