Leaving out of consideration the iirst-rate work, in various branches, turned out by our mechanics at the Navy Yard, Arse- nal and other governmentestablishments here, there are many private manufacturing and mercantile establishments to which our citi- zebs can point with pride. Among these the ‘Eagle Iron Works,” conducted by William M. Ellis & Bro., deserves favorable men- tion These gentlemen have fully demon- strated their ability to do all work im their line as well, as cheaply, and as expedi- tiously as it can be doneim the Northern cities. ‘They take orders for steam engines and boilers, portable or stationary. circular saw-muills, shafting and gearing for mills. brass and iron castings, wrought iron work, light ana heavy forgings, water tanks, gasometers, pattern Making, fancy and ornamental mouldings, &e.; fact, all kinds of work done in first- ‘blishments elsewhere.
