THE INDUSTRIAL BOOM.
We note the following as proof of
the general and pleasing thrift of our
home industries. Dropping 10 at
Messrs. Severns & Sons woodwork
factory few mornings since we we're
shown very handsome full set of
chanoel furniture made for St. Johns
Church, Chews Landing. Designed
by architect Mr. W. D Hewitt, the
different pieces in their workmanship
are great credit to the skill Of
Alonzo Thorn of the establishment,
who make this branch a speciality
The style is Gothic, and ash and
black wa nut are the woods used in
their construction. The lectern and
altar rail were particularly striking.
In another department., an order for
a number of wagon bodies was being
completed, and upon the ground f,or
ready for shipment, was the inner
sheathing of the roof of Trinity
Church, Viueland. Messrs s. & s.
report their business exceedingly
active. Upon the steamboat wharf
awaiting shipment, was the bed plate
and other iron work for the setting of
large steam engine, from the found
ry of Mr.. Chas Farmer, who, to use
his emphatic remark, II am over
head and heels 10 work =" On the
dock also we're two large farm wagons
loaded with apples barreled, aud most
ly intended for export. A few rods
from the wharf we met some ten or
twelve light wagons from Mr.. Jas. H.
Birch's carriage factory and one of
the wheelers was active Mr.. Birch
himself. We merely mention this
fact as proof of that gentleman's
personal attention to every branch of
his extensive business. &c has q
reason for now and then coursipg
dowo the street as he has for every-
thing he undertakes. The cheering
sound of the hammer and trowel 10
this immediate vicinity proceeds from
the new buildings heretofore mention
ed in THE NEWS. Further up the
street our attention was called by a
friend to very handsomely painted
sign for new concern in this city
and executed by Mr.. David Hafmer.
Mr.. q displays in his coloring and
lettering very fine and artistic
taste. He is bound to make his
mark in this line. We venture TO
say that improvements of one kind
or another can be seen in almost every
street 10 this city, aud more real bus
mess life and stirring activity are
noticeably apparent in all our marts
than has been seen for many years
past A new era has dawned upon
our beautiful and most highly favored
city, aye. either for business avoca-
tons Of any kind, or for homes. We
predict that in few short years, it's
industries will rival in lumber and
importance those of cities treble its
population. Scarcely a day passes
without visitors on a prospecting tour
and all are most favorably impressed
at the first glance, with the situation,
surroundings, and general features Of
Burlington.
