PACKED HAY We copied an article from
a northern paper lately stating that Mr.. Ma.
gaw, OF Meadviiie, had constructed a machine
tor packing hay, by which Ire could compress
1t into shape which fitted II for transportation
to distant market. We since find that this
plan has been put in operation, and been found
practicable and advantageous, MIR. Magaw
brought % tens OF packed hay 10 our market,
last week, in two Hat boss, which contained
besides quantity OF other produce. The hay
was put up in packages about the size of cot
ton bale, each containing from $50 to 400 lbs.
ahe machine, however is sufficiently powerful
10 comprises much greater weight into the
PACKAGE we are told that after the above
haes were prepared others of the same size
were put up, weighing from 600 TO 700 lbs.
each.-Mr, NJ. found ready sale for his cargo
here; if he had not. he might have forwarded
1t to New-Oreans. and been sure of still more
advantageous market. The enterprise of Mr..
Nj must be OF much more importance to Craw-
ioro county, which abounds with the finest of
hay.
'Ne1o uve'ifed Sun Lock.-We examined the
o'her day, at the shop OF Dir. ALvAN PaArr,
Suhsni'th OF this town, very ingenious Per-
cusson Gun Lock. which he had invented. and
winch from its simplicity, cheapness, safety,
strength and success, Is avery great improve
lnent. and preferable TO any lock We have seen.
The lock lays under the hole of the guard. on
NE under side OF The stock 1t takes IN so
little space, that it requires very little cutting
or injury to the stock. From its position and
construction 1t is perfectly secured from ex.
posnre to wet, and is much cheaper than the
English percussion lock. We are unable to
give mhute description Of MIR. Pratt's inven.
