tent and Importance of the Goetz Har-
ness Works. one of our leading indus
tries, occupying the big three story and
basement brick building at the head of
North George street. We had occasion
to call there few days ago, and we're
kindly shown through the works by that
courteous and energetic member of the
firm, Mr.. George Goetz. We found a
large force of employees-men, youths
and young ladies-busily engaged, and
the latest and most improved machinery
used in turning ont collars. harness, fly
nets. ETC., and near the main entrance on
the lower floor were large quantities of
their products, packed. marked and ready
for shipment to points in Iowa and Maine.
Their goods, it will be seen, go to remote
points, and this, we are informed, is but
sample of the shipments made daily
from this extensive manufacturing plant.

And all these cries of national devotion?

The Capitol stands firm, yet all its geese arc

And when it mounts to virtue most sublime.
