VaIu! our Largest Industries

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully Illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon inyestiga-
ton found that owing to a large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building of dimensions 60xl40 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filed with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work overtime.-Syracuse
journal, March 70.

the flank, crushing all his squadrons; then

In the melee the ranks were broken and
the leader waited a few minutes to rally
the survivors, the enemy meantime rush
ing in to close the gap against their return.
The column reformed and rode straight
for the battery again, then with n sudden
swerve the flank avoided it and galloped
pack to the brigade. Only ! killed, 0
wounded and IS captured were the cas-
u%alties, but Fitzpatrick told the boys on

Maine, you saved the day at Brandy Sta
ton, save it again at Adler
There were two battalions present and
~squadrons were hastily formed for the
charge. Fitzpatrick rode side by side with
Col. Douty, and giving three rousing cheers
with waving sabres the cavalcade swept
down an incline toward the victorious
enemy. The field was cleared at the first
dash and onward the Maine BOYS rode in
excited pursuit until they stuck n dis
mounted line behind a stone wall. At this
point the Maine ranks suffered severely
for n moment, but the impetus of the charge
bore them through the Confederate line,
which was routed and driven from the field.
Col. Douty fell at the stone wall, pierced
with two bullets. This affair cost 8 killed
and IL wounded. Two days later, at Mid
dleburg, the regiment charged a position
screened by woods and a stone wall, and
carried IL, losing 8 officers and 8 men
killed and 81 Wounded.
In the Gettysburg battle the First Maine
missed the heavy fighting Of Gregg's divi-
sion, the brigade changing places with Gus
ter in the great combat of July 8. On the
return march, however, at Shepherdstown
on the Potomac, July 16, it lost 8 killed
and II wounded in an affair with the Con-
federate rear guard.
The campaign Of 1853 in the Army Of the
Potomac was one of warfare in the saddle
for the cavalry. The mounted infantry
phase came late in the following year,
but before the romance period faded the
First Maine had one more chanc to win
unique distinction for daring work. A detail
of 800 was chosen by Fitzpatrick to ride on
the famous raid to Richmond in February,
1864. Later, when Fitzpatrick and the rash
Dahlgren divided forces, five companies of
the Maine boys headed the little column
Of 500 which Dahlgren led with such
fatal results against the works of the Con-
federate capital. This ride of unexampled
wildness and bravery cost the regiment Z
deaths in battle and 8 wounded, besides IS
deaths in prison and IS lingering captives.
Then followed the era of swift rides and
sharp fights of dismounted cavalry.
On the 18th of May, 1864, in Sheridan's
Richmond raid, the First Maine was rear
guard when Stuart was defeated at Yellow
Tavern. The Maine boys fought on foot
and on horseback, and broke for the first
time under the pressure OF n whole brigade.
The loss was o killed and IL wounded.
The next fight of the regiment was as
warm MS any cavalry engagement on rec
ord. and Gregg's division again bore the
brunt This was at st. Mary's Church,

it for several weeks to come. Nothing
need be urged of the importance OF the
situation. 1t is self evident to

other important matters. Once they are
