who conducted it until February, 1880, when Mr. Pearee resumed its ownership and editorial manage- ment. Mareh 15, 1880, it was purchased by H. A. Van Dalsem, who published it a few months, when Mr. Pearee again assumed control, and is its present editor and proprietor.
The Bee is a lively local journal, and is in a pros- perous condition, having a good eireulation and ad- vertising patronage.
The Newtown Chronicle was established March 27, 1880, by J. A. Maddigan, and is now eondueted by him.
THE NEW YORK BELTING AND PACKING COM- PANY.
This is the largest institution of its kind in the world. "The making of vulcanized rubber fabries adapted to mechanical purposes," says the Scientific American, "is here carried on in a way which indi-
is in either water, steam, or compressed air, together with a variety of valves, gaskets, and rings for similar use ; hose for fire-engines and watering gardens, be- sides heavy steam and brewers' hose ; wagon- and car- springs, gas-tubing, solid vulcanite emery-wheels, corrugated inatting and mats, cushions for billiard- tables, ete. A full list of their productions would, in- deed, make a formidable catalogue, but the interest therein to the general reader would be enhanced by the reflection that in so few years a comparatively un- known substanee had come to play so important a part in our industries."
We illustrate one of the most wonderful machines for manufacturing vuleanized rubber belting, ete., whereby perfectly smooth surfaces and great solidity are insured. This press will take a belt six feet wide and fifteen feet of its length at onee ; it weighs eighty- five thousand pounds; the steam is let into the bed and platen so that the temperature ean be readily

eates the full fruition of Charles Goodyear's antieipa- tions, whether we consider the quantity and variety of goods made or the highly important relations which these prodnetions hold to all industrial pursuits, for in many cases they meet wants never before satisfied and fit needs for which no equally good substitute could be devised. The articles regularly manufae- tured at this factory inelude bands or belting for run- ning machinery, from the largest belts ever made down to the smallest sizes in use; packing, to make tight joints in pumps, engines, etc., where the work
regulated; the platen is stationary, and the bed is lifted by hydraulic pressure. The most novel feature of this great press, however, is that it is arranged with applianees at each end for stretching the belts, so that, while the belt is under the full tension of the heaviest strain it may be desired to put upon it, it may at the same time be compressed between the hot plates, and thus set its fibres as firmly as a bar of steel.
They manufactured the immense driving and ele- vator belts for the Buckingham elevators at Chicago, which have been running perfectly for more than

twelve years; also those for Armour, Dole & Co., Chicago, and Vanderbilt's great elevators of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroads, New York, being the largest belts in the world. They have just manufactured (1880) an elevator belt thirty- six inches wide and two thousand five hundred feet in length, which will weigh over eighteen thousand pounds. The company own the patent for this stretcher in combination with the press, as they do many other patents of great importance in the busi- ness. The principal Goodyear patent on vulcanizing expired in 1865, but this company had then been many years manufacturing, and had obtained subsc- quent patents for improvements, some of which are of great value in their present manufactory.
The offices, salesroom, and warehouse of the com- pany are at 37 and 38 Park Row, New York. John H. Cheever is the treasurer of the company and gen- eral manager of the business. Mr. D. C. Gately is superintendent of the works, which are located at Sandy Hook.
In addition to the numerous establishments men- tioned above are the following manufactories : Blan- ket factory, owned by Sturtevant & Son, of New York; combs and buttons, Samuel Curtis & Sons; button-factory, John Griffen; and the establishment of S. A. Blackman & Co.
RAILROADS.
The town is well supplied with railroads. The Housatonic extends northwest through the centre of the town, with stations at Botsford, Newtown, and Hawleyville, intersecting at the latter place with the Shepaug Railroad, which crosses the northern part of the town. This road extends from Litchfield, in Litchfield County, to Bethel in this county. The New York and New England Railroad, now in pro- cess of construction, will also intersect with the above roads at at Hawleyville.
