fisherman vas ushered with HE prize into
the saloon, where the nobleman in the pre-
sence of his visites, requested him to put

and it should be instantly paid him. One

The Hat Mansfacture.-The "march''
of our manufacturers towards perfection is
altogether astonishing. They say but lat
tie about it themselves, and their silence
is probably good policy, for they reap
rich reward for their own ingenuity before
il becomes common Messrs. r. w. Peck,
f. Co, Of Brooklyn, have now in operation
machine for manufacturing hats that is
perfectly wonderful, and will enable them
to undersell every body in creation, we
should think. The material is taken thro
box some sixty OF seventy feet long, and
in its passage, the fur is separated frosu
the hair by means Of certain complicated
machinery. and falls like fakes Of snow
into a reservoir, and is then converted in
to webs that look more like gassarnar thai
any thing else. 1t il then wound of like

bodies of any required dimensions. TIKI
whole process is not only marvellous, bu
il is xniquc. Nothing like it is 10 be fount
in the world, and it makes the old mode
}of manufacturing hats look clumsey e
