Qhe interior of the factory has been re novated, and the floor asphalted, making .it extremely cool and favorable for' bscpn s onringi in : all U its .'.stages. On ther/,. floor - were a large quantity of sides,, and hanging round -the building wer* I .quantities of flitches and tenjpiing looking hams smoked and dried and ready for tbe market. The smoke-house, which Is a large one, is well adapted for the pur pose, although it was built originally as a-kiln for the chicory roasting process. Mr. W. Turton, the manager of the fac tory; states that he is prepared to receive hams and bacon for curing, from any per son wishing it, and owing to the handy conveniences at the factory, we cannot denbt that it will be found more satisfac tory toiarmers to their bacon cured by • professional curer than get it wasted by th* ordinary amateur’s way, which de stroys such quantities before maturing. As a Iqosl industry, tbe factory is well worthy of support. READ IT ALL. IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE.—Mdp Bitters are the purest and best medicine ever made.
