Home Manufactures In Marysville.

Tilts city, although she has suffered considerably by the recent floods, and hy a series of mercantile disasters, and also having a very large trade with the mountains entirely cut off, yet in spite of all these retarding influences Marysvillo niav with reason be proud of her Home Man it fact v re.-. C/ur recent visit was during thj Hood, and ot course we could not have the opportunity of seeing niatiy branches of this interest in operation, as many were partially or wholly suspended.

Prominently atuoug the large establishments is thai in the Foundry business, the large brick Kouudry of Messrs. Booth k Co. At this establishment a large and successful business is carried on. Castings of every kind, even to some of tne large and fine castings for steam engines, and extensive castings for quartz milling purposes, with all needed machinery and implements for agriculture. This Foundry is one of the most complete iv the State.

Another very large establishment is that of the California Stage Company's workshops, where they manufacture and repair their coaches. Their buildings are extensive aud complete, the President, Mr Haworth, having great experience as an importer of coaches, knows well what is wanted for his Company, and he has found il for their interest to have an establishment of this kind, in order to

forward the operations of the Company with success, the best of material and best workmen will of course turn out the best coaches.

Hunt & Co. nre manufacturers of Plows, m 1 have won an excellent name as Plow makers. They have a large and line workshop.

Mr. Ellison lias acquired a good name as a Plow maker, and his Cang-l'lows are will knowu and valued iv Tuba county.

Bto Mr to. Co. have a Ilroom factory, and their excellent Brooms are known and well appreciated.

Swain k Co.'s Sash and Blind factory is quite a line establishment, where Doors, Windows, Sashes, Mouldings, kf.. are made so rapidly and well as almost seems miraculous, for a team goes up to one door with the lumber, and il does not require the team to wnit long before from the other door the Window S.ishes, Ac, pass out completed 1

i Aubrey A Co. have also an excellent estahlish- , menl of a like kind, where Poors, Sashes, Blind*, 4c, are made to order in the best manner nnd quickest of time. These places are worth being looked into. A new and valuable invention is in successful operation in Marysvillo now—the Sewing Machine for making Hydraulic Hose of the stoutest kind, and with/our •eessss, so as to withstand the heaviest pressure. This invention is one of the most valuable kiud fpr our miners. Mr. 1. Howard was the inventor, and. having taken out letters patent, he is now offering Bights for counties, as will be seen by his advertisement in our columns, and samples of the Hose can he seen at our office. Chase k Co. are manufacturing Cider and Cider Vinegar of a highly creditable quality, and thus supplying the home consumption. Mr. E. Uinet is tusking some of the finest Saddletrees made in the State, he has several rietr and unique patterns which have atlraeted considerable public notice. Flour Mills are of course' Home Manufactures," and they both kept their wheels going uutil the waters stopped them. They had steam engines instead of water-wheels, and of course the waters, jealous of the innovation, slopped tho wheels. The Huckeye Mills, N". D. Starr, worked wilh a fine SO horse-power engine, turns out 75 barrels superfine Flour every twelve hours. This mill is nearly out of Wheat, owing to the condition of the country around. They have 2000 sacks of Flour on hand, and most excellent too. The mills of Messrs. Williams ■ Finnic turn out about Km barrels per day of superfine Flour, which bears a high repute. The floods came high up over the engines and machinery of both mills, and upon a portion of the grain and stock in the mills, doing considerable damage. There are a goodly number of mechanics and manufacturers that we have not referied to, ai the Hoods cut short our examinations. Hut Marysvillo is steadily prospering, and will so> n show substantial ndtances iv Home Manufactures, and citizens should always give to their own workmen the preference.
