YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN UNION
This association
was organized in the spring of 1858, immediately following the great revival
that so distinguished that year. Its
objects need scarcely be stated here.
It composed, as its name imports, of young men, generally connected with
some one of the evangelical churches of our city; but not exclusively so, as
any young man of good moral character" may become a member under its
Constitution and entitled to all its rights and privileges.-
It seeks, indeed, to draw all such within its influence ;
and
especially is it the design of the Union to throw around the
young men who come to reside among us, an influence for
good.
During the past
year the Union has maintained a daily prayer meeting, commencing at 12 o'clock,
and continuing half an hour; also a weekly prayer meeting on Tuesday evenings;
and a monthly meeting for business and intellectual improvement. The latter meeting is now held the
last Monday of each month.
These meetings are
all open to the public.
The Union has also
provided for the use of its members a choice selection of periodicals, both
religious and literary, together with the leading religious newspapers
reflecting the views of the various denominations represented in the
membership.
The rooms, located
on West First, between Bridge and Oneida Streets, are kept open from 8 o'clock
to 10 o'clock P.M. -the Sabbath excepted. OFFICERS.

EASTMAN'S COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.
This school, organized as a Writing and Book-Keeping Academy
some five years ago, is Dow one of the permanent Institutions of our city. From
the miniature Academy it has rapidly grown into a flourishing College till it
presents all those rare facilities for obtaining in an easy and
expeditious manner, a thorough practical knowledge of
Commercial Science and Art. Within the last few years these schools are felt to
be an indispensable necessity, and the education there received, is to the
business man what logic is to the man of science. And under the skillful and
judicious management of Mr. S. B. BURCHARD, this College maintains a reputation
which places it among the foremost of its class in the land. It enjoys an
extensive and liberal patronage from the States and Canadas, and its approval
of public merit and favor is being widely felt and acknowledged by its pledge
of prosperity and success. Its widening popularity is continually enlarging the
area of its operations, through the introduction of new facilities for the higher
teachings of Commercial ethics.

OSWEGO STARCH FACTORY,
ON TRE VARICK CANAL.
Dr. S. WILLARD Auburn, President.
T. KINGSFORD & SON, Oswego, Manufacturers.
Depot, 196 Fulton-Street, New-York, E. N. Kellogg & Co.
Agents.
This celebrated and remarkable manufacturing establishment
was organized under the General Law of the State of New York, in March, 1848,
under the corporate name of The Oswego
Starch Factory, and is located in the city of Oswego, in that State.
The whole history of
the manufacture of starch from Indian Corn, is nearly all comprised within the
brief period which has elapsed since this Company was organized, and to the
manufacturers in this establishment, T. Kingsford & Son, is justly due the
entire credit of inventing the process for making this beautiful and valuable
article.
Prior to 1842, the starch of commerce had been made from
wheat and potatoes. In this year, T.
Kingsford, who was then engaged in superintending the making of starch from
wheat, instituted a series of experiments to ascertain whether starch could be
made from Indian Corn, that should equal if not rival in excellence that made
from wheat.-After a longer course of arduous and unremitting perseverance,
involving a process entirely distinct from that which had been known in the
manufacture of starch from wheat, his labors were crowned with the most
complete success.-
After he had prosecuted the business in this new mode, from
this new material, on a comparatively small scale, for a time sufficiently long
to insure the result beyond contingency, a number of gentlemen associated with
him, and, in 1848, built a factory, which at that time was considered of
unusually large size and capacity, and constituted T. Kingsford & Son the
manufacturers. The unequalled purity
and excellence of this starch secured for it, within a few months after its
introduction to the public, a high reputation, creating a demand beyond the
capacity of the Factory to supply, and the next year it became necessary to
double its capacity.
Beyond that time the demand continued to increase, and the
factory was again enlarged. The
knowledge of its superiority, which at the first had been confined to
comparatively narrow circles, had now reached to England, and other remote
places, creating a still increasing demand,
which, in 1856, resulted in the building of another
factory, exceeding in Capacity
the original one with all its additions.
This mammoth establishment is the largest of its kind in the
world, comprising a front of 510 feet, terminating at each extremity by a
massive fire wall, 85 feet high, to protect against fire from neighboring
buildings, and extends back over the Oswego river 250 feet. It has 250,600 feet of flooring. or more than
sufficient to cover two acres. The building is lighted in part by 158
sky-lights. It has 625
cisterns, or vats containing an aggregate capacity of
2,200,000 gallons. for the purpose of effectually cleansing the starch from all
conceivable impurities. The length of
gutters for conveying and distributing the starch to various parts of she
Factory, while suspended in water, is more than 3 miles. There are 33 large
force pumps, for the purpose of supplying the works with water, which in the
aggregate. are capable of raising to the top of the building
6,338 gallons of water per minute, or 320,280 gallons per
hour; and, as a protection against fire, several of these pumps are so arranged
as to be capable of forcing into the hose-pipe 125,000 gallons per hour, and
with force sufficient to throw eighteen streams of water over the top of the
building, five stories high. They have
their own fire company, chosen from among their own workmen. The pumps are
worked by water power, and can readily be thrown into and out of gear, and have
in connection with them nearly 7,000 feet of water
For grinding the corn, there are 15 pairs of burr stones,
and 6 pairs of large, heavy, iron rollers.
There are 6,500 feet of shafting connected by 843 gear wheels. There are
more than 20,000 feet of steam pipes for drying and warming the
establishment. The works are propelled
by water, but, to avoid occasional interruptions, in very dry seasons, an
engine of 150 horse power has been added.
This establishment has the capacity to use 600,000 bushels
of corn annually and to produce 6,000 Ions of starch, requiring 2,500 tons of
coal to dry it, and furnishes employment for about 300 operatives. To pack this amount of starch 160,000 pounds
of wrapping paper are required, and 3,500,000 feet of lumber, and 70,000 pounds
of nails,
for boxes.
The
purity of this Starch is unequalled.
By a careful chemical analysis it has been found to contain 98 per cent
of pure starch, which explains the fact of its having received from the Great
Exhibition of all nations at London the Prize Medal ; from the American
Institute, in the city of New-York, the Prize Medal; from the New-York State
Agricultural Society, the Gold and Silver Medal, from
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Montreal, C. E. the first premium, and a
preference over all other kinds with which it has come in competition.
Various grades of Starch, as Pulverized Corn Starch,
(denominated P C. S.) especially designed for culinary use ; of great
luxury and delicacy as a desert; extensively used in hotels, steamboats and
private families; pronounced by the most eminent physicians fully to equal
arrowroot for all medicinal and dietetic purposes-
pure
and refined, for laundry use ;-for
Manufacturers' use,-and
particularly for prints,
where the greatest degree of purity is
required to prevent injury to the most delicate
colors----all
these grades are made to suit the respective purposes for
which starch is required, and for which, since its extraordinary purity has
become generally known, the demand has increased to an extent almost unlimited.
The universal celebrity of this Starch has induced other
manufacturers to imitate the packages, and labels, and stencil marks on the
boxes, as near as may be without subjecting themselves to damages for
trespass. Purchasers have frequently been
deceived by the near resemblance in these particulars ; and to avoid such
imposition, great care is
requisite in giving orders

This establishment is an incorporated company, established

improved
kind, driven by a steam engine of 60 horse power. It has a capacity for manufacturing about
150,000 chairs per annum, consuming 1,000,000 feet of hard and basswood lumber,
and giving employment to 325 men and boys, besides a large force of convicts at
the Onondaga County
Penitentiary, Syracuse, are employed in the Cane Seating
department. It has a large local trade,
also Western and Canadian. At the
commencement of the panic of 1857 it was just emerging into a large business,
and since that time it has been very much reduced; but with the revival of
trade it is now rapidly increasing ifs work, and no doubt will soon be able to
work to its full capacity. From its
position it possesses numerous advantages over all competing
establishments, having direct communication to all points on the great chain of
Lakes, also, Rail Road communication to all points of the interior, thus giving
great dispatch in shipping. A large
trade is done in Knock Down work, the chair being put up without glue, and
painted and varnished, then taken apart and packed in boxes of 1 doz.
each, by which means they can he shipped to any part of the
world at a low freight. At the present
time his kind of chair is being shipped to Missouri and other parts of North
and South West. Amongst its numerous
advantages is that of being situated in a well wooded country,
consequently lumber can be procured at all times at easy
ratio.
Every modern improvement is adopted as soon as its
practicability is ascertained. One of
the last is a bending machine, which has just been added to its already large
amount of machinery. With this the wood
is bent out of straight stuff for Backs and Seats, thereby saving a large
amount of labor, besides making the char doubly strong by doing away with
joints. Its local trade is increasing
daily, and as soon as the great West is again in a prosperous condition it will
doubtless be able to run its full capacity.
