SomeTHING asouT BviLpinc.—Notwith- standing all the talk about hard times. in no former age of the worid haye the middle and poorer classes been so comfortably and con ve- niently lodged and clothed and surrounded by so many things formerly classed with luxu- ries, now deemed necessaries, as in the United States in the times in which we live. Mach of the change is owing to the proper organization of Iabor, and the application of machinery to aid it. In all those branches of inveniion which thon to the usefal arts, America 1s acknowledged to be ahead of all Christendom. This fact can only be appreciated by a visit to the great manufacturing centres. In cities like ‘Washington, we can only see some of the sults. Very few of our readers, probatuy, realize how much of the work necessary in the construction of their homes, which only a few years since was doue by hand, is now vwurned out by machinery at much less cost. To all those who design building, or who take an in- terest in this subject, we recommend a to the builders’ depot of H. W. Hamiltou & Co. 562 7th street, in this city, wheve they can be convinced of the great progress je im this direction, and also of the growth of our city, which requires such a stock of building materials to be kept on hand to supply a part of the demand. For iustance, they have now in store 4,000 doors, 3,000 lights of window sash, 4,000 pairs of blinds, 2,000 window frames, besides door frame and door jams, pannel a ters, hot-bed sash, wood, slate, and marb! | mantels, mouldings, brackets, " base- ‘boards, newell posts, paints, oils, glass, putty, inside shutters stair falls, Lon me. ‘They bows mang novelties in their line of business, among Pocxrt Boox ipogg ifoon. ape = thix morning stopped at the stand of aman named ‘Schueider, at the 7th-street, wharf, to make some purchases, when he lost his pocket book, containing $150 in Soi: He says he took ont his book and it dowa while he ket for pennies; he went off and bis book, and on returning tor ‘it was told ‘it. not been seen.
