J. H. Hainer is also with the company. They have a splendid minstrel pro- gram and a large house will undoubt- edIy be present.

We made a. short visit yesterday to the new Button Factory. in the lower part of Water street. and found their machinery not in operation, in con sequence of the break in the watch pipe at the foot of State street. But we saw that they had the room and the tools with which to do a large business-nhuch larger than we had supposed. This is the dull season of the year and just now they are do- chiefly for the spring trade.
 The process by which they are made is the same as that of the Bohemian Glassblowers, which many of our cit izens have seens winch operators have given exhibitions in this city. The proprietors have purchased the build ings and the ground they occupy, next to the Candle Factory of c. s. Crane & Co.,, and intend to build anew in the Spring
