PRESSING BRICKS.


THE subscriber would inform the
Bricklayers of the counties Of Augusta e.
Rockbridge, that he has purchased the
patent right of Thos. "A. Trick S improved
Brick-Press, in and for the aforesaid
counties of Augusta and Rockbridge.
AS respects the principles of the above
mentioned machine the subscriber make
no hesitation in affirming them to be ge-
nuine.
The most material principle is that it
consists of a double mole, by means of
which one brick is hoisted to the top of
the mole at the same time the opposite
is pressing; which renders it speedy o.
peration. There can be from six to 5000
bricks pressed in day with it, to per-
fiction, if properly attended. The pow
er Of the machine is remarkable accor-
ding to the patentees calculation man
weighing $50 lbs. applying his weight
to the extreme end of the levre eleven
feet long, will cause the pressure upon
the brick to be equal to Is, 900 lbs.-the
half of which is sufficient to press brick
to perfection.
The subscriber will vend rights to
those who are disposed to purchase,
upon the lowest terms. He will al
so be able to furnish certificates of
the satisfactory performance of the "a
boye machine. For rights, apply to the
subscriber, living three miles North of
Middlebrook, Augusta county, who will
also furnish a model Of the machine.

tinued rising until Saturday evening,
and was then forty nine feet above low
water marx, and four feet 10 inche.
higher than the celebrated food o.

are ealamitous beyond description.-
AL the low bottoms on the river were
overlooked, and houses, barns, fences,
cattle, stacks Of hay ana grain. &c.
&c. were swept of. We can onIy
give . few particulars:
The lower part Of this town was ia
undated; the water was within two
inches OF the 6rst floor Of the Ware.

In soath Wheeling the water vas
several feet deep in most Of the houses
and there being Rpowerfui current,
Is or 20 frame dwelling houses besides
some ether buildings were swept of.
It Affords Us much satisfaction "a
state that relief has been promptly eI
tended to the sufferers in eyery way
practicable. The Female BeneYolen,
Society has been particularly active in
administering to their wants. The
ladies are always foremost in relieving
the unfortunate.
The destruction Of property in other
places along the river has been much
greater than with us.
At Warren, q village at the mouth
OF Short Creek, Ohio, which contained
about 90 buildings, two. thirds of them
are gone, including three ware houses.

bot We understand, the inhabitants
have not suffered much, comparatively.
N any way. They generally occupied
