different kinds of fine ware, reports trade

War<4n glass factory, an old institu-
tion, zFbich makes railroad ware, bottling
jarst etc, is running evey day and
empI1ys a few more hands than the new

The 30 tanneries, employing together in
the ntighborhood of $50 men, are making
good time, with hattering outlook. The
cement works employing 100 men, has
fine trade, and works as steadily as clock
work. Besides the B. & o. mill here the
company have large shops, employing
about zoo men, and many are employed as
transportation and track men on the road.
The q. & p. road also has machine shops
which< employ 80 men. They also have
other hands. The sash and door factories,
employing about 35 men, are working full,
with good trade and fiattering prospects.
The eame can be said Of the foundry and
machine shops, which employ about 40
men. The pipe factory, employing 81 men,
and The coffin works, working % men, are
both working full time, with good trade.
The different boat yards, six in number,
employ in all over $50 hands, and are as
busy as bees. From the above il will
readily be seen that Cumberland, popula-
