Some of the;, 'monuments are twenty feet high, of .' ;i white and variegated marble, higi-.iy'c il polished, ornamented with richly chi ved | < vines and 1 lowers and other designs, U and .surmounted with statues ol fulii' s' size, s-iid to be good likenesses of the ; I departed.

This '; town has a population of about m?u11 | inhabitants, and is at the brad of steam- , I boat navigation, at (lie ordinary height ' I of the river?the Falls here being passed ! by means of a canal. The glass works ' 'were very interesting to me, and a men- ; jger description of them may be to those \ . who will take the trouble to look over j . 1 this scroll. First, fine whitesaml, sonieV what of the appearance of gypsum, and ;' soda ash with a little lime, are put into 1 y a large crucible of clay that will stand any degree of heat, placed in a furnace < and niellcd. It is then swung around ;i by a "crank," and emptied upon a per10 fectly smooth metallic table, at one end.: l'~j A heavy cylindrical rollor is then rolled 1 |over it by two men, one at each end, i which spreads it out like a pancake, to ' s~| the lbieknesf of one-fourth of an inch. inimcuiateiy two otner men, neioru it 1<! i Jias lime to eool much, turn up the edge about two inches, :uii| another table is 111 rolled up to tin* cud of tin.1 first, and l>y rs: Die time the rollrr has run over the! melted slull', two other men put a bai'i (against tJie turned-tip edge ami push itj e"' oil" on to the second table. This table is ..immediately run into a furnace and kept '"' there for one week undergoing the pro-! el .cess of anneal ling, which toughens and c> jrenders it Jess brittle, it is then taken out and placed upon a table revolving all '.r7 the time. l.'pon the plate sand is lu sprinkled, and small jets of water are j pouring. l.'pon this is placed another : or | plate of thick glass with weights upon) jit, which is also kept iu motion by a es'crank. After undergoing this scouring tc,1 process it is put upon another table and ut smeared over witii coarse einory, made' ?rs into a paste, and subjected to another lw j scouring by the same kind of ma-( ill eliinery. It is then put upon a third; j table and itihbed by heavy rollers moving back and ldrth, thus did'ering from the circular motion described in the other process. This polishes and finishes j it. J saw two plates cast eight by fifteen ( feet, and when linifched up each plate of Iifil size is worth SWJO, as <In* proprietor n formed inc. This is Hit' only place in lit! ( 'nited Stales when; siieli "lass is east." I then witnessed the making >r blowing of llasks and fruit jars, lere the material is melted as before, Hid the workman dips one end of a holuw tube, about S feet long, into the ilreoiis substance, turning it ;ill Ihe ime until enough of it ushers to the ml of the luhe. It is then taken out, urned around iiwhile b> give it shape, el ini'?a mold whieh is in two sections, me moveable, which is clamped up to lie other, and he then blows into it unit it is pressed out to the sides of the nold, taking its shape whether it he a la-k or jar, and the impress of the name r date carved on the inside of the mold, l is then lifted out by the tube, broken itr Jiod !i lilile hov runs a rod into the notilli and places it in a firey furnace.

Now* lor the window glass, vhich is a difficult process, and requires killed lalior. The beginning ol' tin; iroeessis just like that of making flasks likI bottles, but the tul?e is larger, and nore of tlie viried stull'is taken up, jlaced in a shallow basin, turned over ind over to give it a neck and globe, down into until it looks of t ho shape of 1 hig di'iiiij'diii, then handed to another nan who stands over a pit upon a [dank n front of h furnace; he puts tins end vhich is thick into this furnace?so hot hat you can scarcely bear to look at it, akes it outuud swings it hack and forth, vhich stretches it, out., occasionally dowing into it wh?le swinging it; this s repeated until it becomes of the right hickiiess, and if is then a cylinder live eel long and twelve inches in diameter. V hot iron is then run through -it longiudinally, cutting it from end to end as f you had run a knife through paper. t is laid upon ft tame, or wmen mere is l number revolving in a heated furnace. \ man standout tin opening in the wall ?f the furnace, and when itcomes round o him lie spreads it out with a long iron od and ruhs it down smooth on tin* able, and after going further on thecirle it is taken out by anoter man and Jlowed to cool gradually, when it is cut iy a diamond into the different sizes. Vhout four hundred hands are annloyd, and the pay-roll amounts to live housand dollars per week, some of the nost skilled making as high its seventyive dollars per week, 'i'he capital invested is one and a half millions of lollars.
