The Foundry-is now carried on by Chas. A. Olmited. Castings of all descriptions can idation. The stone l'aicingé It 'is 3 stories high with a basement, has a {slated roof, inf the centre of which is a bell tower. It is well, and substantially built, and finely furnished inside and has | been built and got into operation as quick as perhaps any other building of it's size, being only about six months after laying the corner stone. It is 88 feet long by 43 wide and has 2700 spindles which supply yarn for 80 looms. The machine- ry and getting up of this mill are of the first order. - The looms are of the Lowell construction, and each turn off 30 yards of fine Printing Cloth of a very beautiful fabric per day. The annual production is estimated from it's present yield at 750,000 yards. The goods are fine, made from yarn No. 30 warp, and 43 filling 'and 72 picks to the inch. The number ~~ {or hands employed are 69. - Of thease 25 to 28 are employed in weaving. 'The consumption of Cotton is 10,000 pounds monthly, or nearly 300 bales of 450 Ibs. each a year. Connected with the Strong Mill are 3 neat wooden cottages, border- ing on Mohawk street, the main street of the village, and very conveniently situa- ted as regards the Factory for the accom- modation of those employed in the Mill. This is an individual enterprises and we wish it all success. Sora axp Ware Matku-, ractory.-Commenced by Jacob Dodge in the fall of 1846, is now doing a prosperous business. The Sofas made at this establishment are becoming just- ly celebrated for their beauty of \finish and eriginality of design. This estab- lishment is under the supervision of Mr R. T. Briggs,; a specimen of whose skill may now be witnessed at the Manufacto- ry, in the shape of two Centre Fables-. beautiful specimens of Moszio inlaying.~ containing 1500 differect picces each.- This establishment is capable of manu- facturing from 15 to 20 Sofan per wedk, | 'which find a ready sale in the Albany, Troy and New York markets. Other descriptions of furniture can be turned off in the same proportion, enjoying #s they do a good water power. They have also a machine for making Piano Forte hammer shanks, with which one man alone is capable of making 20 of more gross per day, which are manufac. | tured to order for Piano Forte Action makers in New York city. The locations for Factories in this vil- | lace are almost unequalied elsewhere.- The soil is shallow, not over 2 or 3 feet deep, and below is a slate rock which is easily removed, and forms one of the best foundations for Factories that can any where be found, and the expense of exca- vating it is by no mears great. This is particularly viluable for heavy buildings requiring permanent foundations, not be- ieg subject to be undermined, and requi- ring less outlay in the lower stories, which in sandy and gravelly situations are a matter of serious cofisideration. We hope our eastern friends will soon be made sensible of the advantages of this place for manufacturing purposes, as it is our desire to see it go ahead with a rapid though healthy pace. Next woek we shall give further des- criptions of Cohoes manufactories, and ontinue them in subsequent numbers until we shall have described all those which are propelled by water power.

There is a certain sométhing about old times, old friends, and matters of anti-. quisty that is fascmatmg imthe extreme, Who does not like to sit by the side of an old Revolutionary Patriot and hear him relate the scenes of his youth, or re- herse the thousand hair breadth escapes experienced by him \during the war,\ and even though grand-papa should hap- pen to tax our credulity a trifle, do we nof like to hear him? Who does not like to meet an old friend, take him by the hand, giving it a hearty shake, and then sit down and talk over old serapes and rusties they have kicked up togeth- er in days gone by?

By the politeness of a friend we have been per- mitted to peruse a paper dated Oct. 26, 1780, entitled \The New-York Packet and the Amorican Advertiser,'' and need we say we have been delighted with it. We would give more for a volume of one of these rolics of antiquity, were we able, than ten times its original cost. It was printed at Fishkill by Samuel Loudon. Printers in those days were the men of the age. Continental and hard money, dealers in Wheat, Rye, Corn, Gammons, Beef, Pork, Hay, Pins, Needlés and Felt Hats.- They were the repositories of nearly all the knowledgo, inasmuch as they were | tion\ in regard to the several advertise- ments which appeared in the paper-act- ed maflbmar in Maniacs &e. &.

The \Good ngmtan” visited this place, last Saturday, and dispensed his ''Life-preservore\ to the afflicted. We really wish we had an engraving of the \Good Samaritan,\ distributing his blue bottles, to the crowd ; it would indeed be an interesting picture. There is no two ways about it, the Doctor is bound to shine. You might as well try to eatch a flash of lightning with a small sized fish- hook as to think of trying to believe that the contents of those \blue bottles,\ are to be conquered by disease. The \Sa- maritan\ will be in town on Thursday, at the Cohoes Hotel, where those afflic- ted with Scrofuls,Erysipelas, Salt rheum, Eruptions of the Skin, &c. can see him.
