Mt. E. N, Pearson Just completing his

kindly showed TO Us and which we
this morning present. There will DO two
new buildings, ware rooms and packing
rooms each 100 feet by 80, three stories
high, besides the kiln sheds 10 feet by 20.
Ia the old building the ground floor will
be used as mill room, which ls l2OxO8
ieel, which will contain material bins with
0 capacity Of $50 tons. There will DO two
bollen Is feet long each and "a inches In
diameter. The engine will have a "A

Five burr mills Tor grinding flint, glaze and
color, one cot Of ChaserB, plungers, Rgltators,
siiteFs, three clay pFeSSes Of "a chambers
each, horizontal pug mill and elevator 10
hoist material 10 the several stories. The
saVar room we find complete with clay
bins, gfog bins, grog peu, Jug mill and
water mill and all the necessary fixtures
In one room,
On the second floor We dnd the green
room, biscuit wareroom, dipping room
and placing house.
We also lind here q great convenience
that we have been informed is not pecu.
liar 10 other pOtteries. The placing house
floor being on level with the bottom Of
the kiln, thus saving about $4,000 steps 10
the placing Of each kiln, rs Ia this way
they pass Into the kiln from the floor, and
under the old way went up several steps
There are two biscuit kilns each II feet In
diameter. There are three RloSt kilns Is
feet y inches In diameter, In reference
10 these kilns we lonnd on the plans three
additional kllnS planned out, which will
not bo built at present, but us the trade
demands.
This story Of tho old building, lOOxG8
feet, also will he occupied a. 4 jigger room
and diShmaken. This room Il lifted up
In the very latest aud most improved
style, having nine steam friction jiggeB
complete with pulldOwnS, &C., two steam
lathcs, one foot lathe, and all the nee.
essRry fixtures.
The fourth story will DO occupied by
presses and as u mould room. We find
four rows Of benches, which will employ
10 presses.
The lint door and tho rooms
Of Tho new building will lie occupied
by the packers, The second and third
stories rs glass warehouses and decorating
room. Each room, ~ We said before, will
be lOOG5O feet, The Offices Of The com.
pany will he on the second floor and will
DO handsomely finished and very Conve.
nlcnt. The stories Ia this building will
be twelve feet high. No baskets will be
necessary IN this pottery, as the wares will
DO removed in cars and raised on steam
elevators, Of which there are two in the
building and communicate with all the
stories. There Is floor surface OF "a coo
feet in the pottery, which Is not exceeded
by any pottery. ....
The new buildings aud the changes In
the old one will DO ready for operations
by July |, 1880 when Il Is expected the
pottery will be Ia full blast.

NEW YoRE, December 23.-At recep.
ton given him by the Worlds Fair Com
mittee to-day, Secretary Sherman said !:
"The Exhibition In Philadelphia was a
remarkable success in many respects, aud
its value has never been thoroughly esti.
mated" He had heard many manuiaC-
turers say that their productions had
since ionnd abundant sales In regions
where they were previously unknown,
He also found that Ohio, an interior State,
was sending her manufactures TO ali
quarters Of the globe on account OF The
celebrity the Centennial had given them,
Philadelphia had likewise greatly proiited
byit. New York, Mr.. Sherman said, "is
naturally the most suitable place in this
country for the proposed Fair. Il is the
seat OF three.quarters Of the 81 200, OOO, 900
Of the annual commerce In the United
States, and the duties Of two-thirls Of the
country's imports are received here. The
project Of q Worlds Fair here should
not DO lniSappreciated. 1t would work
immense advantages. Tie population Of
the United States now exceeds that OF any
other civilized country except Russia. Il
surpasses that Of Great Britain and France,
and even the great German Empire OF
modern times. Our extent aud the diver.
silly Of our soils and climates give US great
advantages, and the products OF our gold
and silver mines exceed those OF all
Europe, and perhaps Of the world. The
enormous shipments Of our cereals and
their production are also matters Of as.
tonishment. New Workers have" he
said, mo Idea OF the extent and richness
Of theGrcat Western wheat.growing farms,
Your capacity for raising cattle Is growing
greater than Brazil. We have also as.
serted Our supremacy In manufacturing.
Formerly We were supplied by Europe,
but owing TO the economies created by The
late panic We now compete successfully
with nearly all branches Of manufactures
abroad. Our coal fields are incalculable,
and oil such easy access that we now com.
pete with England In supplying Italy aud
other European countries. Transporta.
ton facilitice upon oil goods have now
become Anuch greater than formerly,
Looking Of the country In all aspects we
can afford to have the greatest exhibition
Of modern times.
