Credit for Help in Their Construction Civ en to Some of New Haven's Expert Workers in Metal and Wood. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 When a newspaper say something greatly to the credit of the community where in it cireulates something which will prove to be of substantial benefit to that communi- ty-it seems quite clear that that something should be said. New Haven is already pretty well known as center of mechanical skill: and inasmuch as the farther dissemination of that knowledge is sure to attract the money of those in other States who desire the ser vice of expert mechanics, I believe you and the New Haven press generally will cheer fully give space to what now write.
 have, as the agent of Dr. J. H. Mclean of St. Louis, Mo-, paid to the mechanics of New Haven since the first day of May, 1878, nearly one hundred thousand dollars, nearly all of which has been paid to expert workers upon the great Mclean "Peacemakers MT. George D. Lambert, the well-knoyn pattern and model maker, at 27 Artisan street, has had the entire contract for the construction of everything pertaining to these wonderful guns. He has worked large force of men in his own shop upon them during all this time and has employed men in other shops also; and am glad that am able to state that I have found Mr Lambert to be thoroughly reliable and capable man.
 The mere artisan himself seldom receives this consideration which his genius, skill and patience entitle him to- Money usually seems to consider that when 1t has paid the wages to the mechanic 1t has quite religiously fulfilled all of its obligations to shim But I most cordially desire that the expert makers of Dr J: H. McLean's great. t'Peacemakers' shall be known by name, for they have done most excellent work and New Haven should | n aI their names

 Exact justice requires that I should say that several of those who are classed as wood workers at Mr. Lambert,s shop are also very expert workers in metal, and that much of the success of the new guns is due to the genius of Mir Frank l.. Nichols, as ready and accurate artist in working drawings
