LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Moncton Industries.

onan

| Srr,—I visited several of them to-day— ‘the Sugar Refinery, the Cotton Factory, the Ayvricultural Implement Manufacturing 'Company’s establishment, Lea & Rogers’ | Sash and Door Factory, and the Moncton | Metallic Company’s Works, and now I| undertake to tell you about some of them. I must, of course, be brief; a full column might well be devoted to an account of each.

First, I went to Lea & Rogers’ establish- iment. Their many friends in Charlotte- ; town and elsewhere in P. E. I. may rest assured that their move from your city to | Moncton was a good one. They are doing ) a rushing business, and doing it to profit. | They are overran with orders. They have every inducement to erack on and go ahead. Their factory, a new building, is 40x60, the main building; and attached is an eli or shed 25x40, occupied as engine house and

drying kilns. They have a _ rotary saw mill, which cuts a large share of the lumber they use and which

cuts for others. They have a planing ma- chine, two moulding machines, sash machine, mortising machine, jig-saws aud turning lathe. They keep a lumber-yard, stocked wlth lumber of their own and other peoples’ manufacture, on sale. They build wooden dwelling houses, ete., by contract —have built two and are building two more—and they likewise do a general busi- ness in house-builders wood-work for other contractors in and for Moncton and else- where in New Brunswick. They likewise send like furnishing materials to P. E. L. They generally employ sixteen hands—com- petent workmen. They cannot do an ex- clusive cash business ; but credits are short and payments, they tell me, come in very regularly and very satisfactorily. They make a twenty ton car-load of coal do them about a month, along with wood scraps, ete,

Across the street from Lea & Rogers’ is the Moncton Agricultural Implement Manufacturing Company’s establishment. The main building is 2} stories. The busi- ness is two months old. They make the Weller Independent Tooth Sulky Harrow (with and without a broad-cast seeder), the Monarch Fanning Mill, Bickford’s Deuble- Acting Non-Freezing Force Pump, the Warrior Mower, the Champion Horse Rake (self-dumping, etc.). They have bought the right of manufacture within the Lower Provinces. They are selling at the factory all they can make, and at retail. They do, besides, an extensive manufacturing busi- ‘ness in doors, sashes and other prepared house-buildings and material. Mr. Cable, the capable and experienced general man- ager, started the like implement manufac- turing business in Brantford, Ontario, four years ago, and finds that here in Moncton he can manufacture twenty-five per cent. cheaper than can be done there—a fact worth noting.

Now for a few words about another and a new and successful enterprise, and I shall have done for now. The Moncton Metallic Monument Co., are making it hard fer the marble toombstone men. The latter are vexed, of course. They are mad, some of them, as that man that dwelt amongst the tombs. The M. M. M. Co., make and sell, not wooden tombstones, but iron, cast iron ones, and they are cheap, durable and attractive. ‘They are made in fanciful open work. They coat the general surface with an iron ore paint or compound used on iron war ships. The first application is made, through chemical agency, to enter and fill the pores of the iron, and three coatings follow. The inscription is lettered in gold plate and the inscription plate is set into a galvanized iron case with plate glass front and back, and sealed up to the exclusion of airand dampness. Costing about half those of marble, they are ordered in unusual cases, for mother-in-law’s graves for instance.

I must reserve an account of the Sugar Refinery and the Cottog Factory for another letter.

Yours, etc., H.

Reply to Progress.

Sir,—Your correspondent ‘‘Progress” says ‘‘it would be an insult to your general readers’ intelligence to draw attention to the absurdity of his (‘‘Citizen’s”) de- ductions ;” and yet this very grave offence he commits. He wishes to know ‘“‘from which cf the many systems of Waterworks, in London, I got my samples.” I cannot say, but I willinform him. Iput up at a private house, 22 Hyde Street, Bloomsbury, in the vicinity of the British Museum. Also ‘‘where the pump was from which I drank?” It was in the street somewhere on, if I remember right, Hilborn Hill. He thinks my visit was made after the great fire of 1666. Here he is perfectly right, it was 174 years after, in the year 1840. He surmises my visit to St. John’s was made on my way back from London. Ifso, it would have been, as to time, the longest voyage on record, as my visit there was in 1855. ‘*Boston water had insects, somebody wrote Yes, and I had a chance of drinking it since that, and [ argued from these four cited cases that it was doubtful

Do not fail to inspect these Goods if you want to save if we should get good drinking water from

Winter River, and I doubt it still.

Mr. Murdock, in his report on the water supply, says, page 31, ‘“By the erection of a dam at Cobbs of about 16 feet high and 264 feet long, the surface of ,the stream could be raised to 86 feet, and a resorvoir obtained with a surface area of about 19

water shed 5000 acres in all.” Now in the water shed, when we consider the rotten wood submerged in the one, and the dead cats, dogs, pigs, calves, etc., lying about on the other, what quality oe sent through the pipes into city; and besides all that there is a swamp which

the nineteen acres will cover, that will vitiate any supply. from that source, ‘*Progress” speaks of old ‘tobacco pipes, worn out shoes and black muck, dealt out by the bucketful.” Well he has a wonder- ful cook if she can perform her culinary operations with such as that. On her behalf 1 protest. He should change his waterman at once. He continues, ‘*] never notice that he mentions having tried the water for washing in.” No. It was far from my thought as to say “‘I wash,” as it was to say | breakfast every morning at 7 o’clock. He continues, ‘‘if he hed, he would pro- bably, after such an experiment, have liked it better.” The implied sneer is misplaced. When a @utiucular examination is called on I will show as clean a cuticle from the crown to the toes as any living man, and I think it very probable he was never well laved since his mother last perfermed that operation for him,

1 have now followed ‘‘Progress” far enough. The fact is, he is angry, toc angry, to be as sarcastic as he would wish, and I don’t wonder at it. When a man on a Saturday night knows there will be in his Sunday pudding, black muck, old shoes and tobacco pipes, his anger is quite excusable. 1 once heard of an old horse collar chopped up fine as a thickening for soup, but ‘*Progress’” is the order of the day, we are now come to old shoes and tobacco pipes.

I am Sir, most respectfully CITIZEN,

Items from Souris.

A large number of Baptist clergymen and laymen, arrived here by rail on Friday evening. They are attending the associa- tion which is in session at West River, Lot 47. No doubt the Rev. R. B. Kinlay will accord his confreres a hearty welcome.

The semi-annual examination of Colville School, took place at the appointed time in the schoolroom. The trusteesand quite a number of lady visitors were present. Those examined in the diferent depart- ments, showed a marked progress since the last anual review. Mr. Brehaut has proved himself an active, efficient teacher, and is well qualified for the position, the duties of which have come toan end. The result of the examination was not only satisfactory to all, but reflected a lasting credit on the teacher’s ability and perseverance. Mr. Brehaut intends following the medical pro- fessian, and as a consequence, leaves room for a successor in the school.

Dr. Ford, the vendor under the |Canada Temperance Act, exercised his pr ce in the right direction, when he did not remove his shutters on the 4th. Large numbers of American fishermen patrolled the streets, some, no doubt, who would wish to be merry.

To-day being the anniversary of Ameri- can Indepeadence, it was celebrated witb splendor and cclat by the fishermen of some fifty or sixty American schooners, with crews of about 700 men. Souris, for the first time, witnessed an effort to cele- brate the ‘‘glorious Fourth.” The entire town donned the imagivary appearance of a miniature Boston. From early morn till late at night guns rattled, canons boomed, while flashing jets of light piereed the heavens at every interval. The vessels in the harbor were gaily ornamented with bunting Chinese lanterns, and presented other features of attraction. Upon every height, from the seine-laden proa to the mainmost clipper, Columbia’s banner was unfurled to the breeze. Strains of music burst from every dock to join the swelling band; while voices loud and clear rang out over Neptune’s glassy bosom, the tenor of which would be—

** There is a land of every land, its pride Beloved by Heaven o’er all the world beside,”

About eleven o'clock, p. m., they left their vessels and marched through the dif- ferent streets in a torchlight procession, bearing the American Flag, the band play- ing “Yankee Doodle.” They saluted the American Consul, C. C. Carlton, Esq., by marching around hisfresidence and sending up three ringing cheers for the ‘‘represen- tative of our country.’” Three cheers were then given for the ladies of Souris, and three cheers for the Stars and Stripes, three for the amicable relations existing at pre- sent between Great Britain and America. The most noteworthy feature of the occa- sion was the good order and deportment which characterised the whole display.

The royal clipper schooner William H. Jordan, through the kindness and courtesy of her jolly commander, Capt. Anderson, was placed at the disposal of a pleasure party for an excursion down the Bay. No more fitting opportunity could be given for enjoying the Fourth. Everyone seemed to enjoy a sniff of the fresh sea-breeze. Two happy tars discoursed sweet music, while reel, waltz and schottische followed in rapid succession. At 5 o'clock supper was served from a table that would have done credit to any first-class hotel. After forty-two per- sons had bountifully partaken, twelve baskets full might have easily been gather- ed up. The Wm. H. Jordan is in every respect a first-class vessel. She is 65 tons burthen (new measurement), was built in Essex, Mass., quite recently. Her cabin betrays the beauty of skilled workmanship ; the floor is laid with alternate strips of ash and walnut, the walls of the cabin and state-room with cherry and sycamore, and is equal, if not superior, to any American fore-and-after we have yet had the pleasure of inspecting.

This being the last year of the Washing- ton Treaty, our waters are swarming wi American fishermen. The number of ves- sels now in the Bay is said to be 250, with a probability of 400 more coming down, should the prospects of those already en- gaged prove favorable. Years ago it wass rare thing to see aseiner. The catch of /mackerel all depended on hook and line ; to-day it is vice versa, the seimers have gradually superceded the ‘*‘ hook-and-

‘liners ” ResvreaM, ! Souris, July Sth, ’84.
