Cembs.-We are not at present prepared to give
any statistical details relative to this branch Of manu-
facture but would call attention to the truly spien-
did combs sent to the Fair by Alfred Willard, OF 10
Maiden Lane; the shell is mos, beautiful the designs
and patterns are the most elegant we ever saw;-the
workmanship defies competition, and we cannot rem
der our numerous fair readers greater service than
by directing their attention TO these exceedingly beau
tiful articles, and telling them where they may be
obtained.
Brick Making.-From combs to brick-makng, is
curious transition but so run our notes and so runs
our pen. There is a model of brick making machine
| in ne IN a
saloon at the centre Of of the side avenues. Ibis
plan put in practical operation about year since
by Brown, of Canaan centre, Columbia, Ct The
cost Of the machine is 81 60 and It's weight 800 lbs.
One is required put in the clay, one boy to put
in the moulds and another to receive them and TINS
the machine grnas the clay for, and moulds Z, SUI
bricks an hour through the day; The clay used IN
day will cost three dollars and for this sum twenty
thousand bricks can be made in one day that are
worth eighty dollars four dollars per thousand
For, on an average one season with onoher, IN tins
city, burnt bricks are worth 3d. per thousand, and
unburnt bricks always worth fifty cents less than
the others Stock bricks can be made by this ma
chine by placing them boards and drying them un-
der cover, instead of on the ground.
seniing an inclined plane, with intended rails alter
natey rising and falling; thus setting wheel IN mo-
ton 1t is more curious than useful.
Tyusses-There are several very handsome and
much improved tusses at the end of one of the long
tables Unimporant as this article may seem as
branch of domestic manufactures 1t Is fact that no
less than thirty thousand dollars worth Of trusses
were made and sold by one man in marlborough,
Vermont, in one year. And when we reccllect, that
by the calculations of surgical men, two out of every
fifteen are ruptured throughout the United
States, and two out of every ninety women, truss
making is by trifling affair. On the island
of Nantucket Alone it has been calculated that one
half of all the males ruptured and one eighth OF
all the women the fact seems Incredible, but we have
il from the lips Of of the most respectable truss
makers IN the country. :,
foct,,v with
capital Of twenty thousand dollars; there are none
in Connecticut; there eight or ten in the city OF
New York, with capital OF thirty thousand dollars
BY close calculations II has been ascertalned that
from nine hundred thousand 10 one million OF trusses
made and sold annually in the United States, al
the price of from three 10 ten dallars each. few of
the best kind sold here high twenty dollars,
and in the South where none made, they sell for
fifty dollars each Steel BRASS leather, sleeps wool,
cloth, silk and thread used in the making up ola
truss; and half ton of steel, five hundred
pounds brass, 1900 pounds wool, and two thousand
yards of cloth, at half dollar yard are annually
worked up in one mandatory into trusses in the
course of a year.
.Screps.--There are a very handsome assortment of
screws sent by the Poughkeepsie Screw Company,
who commenced this manufacture in Poughkeepsle
on the 4h of July last, with capital Of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars and they employ 10 hands
in the BUSINESS. The wire used by them is obta ned
al Easton, Mass, where il is drawn the iron Is OBJ
tanned from the Salisbury iron works. AT Ramapo,
Rockland County, there Is screw mandatory the
proprietor of which owns all the town; he has capt.
tai of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the
business, but carries also the making of bar and
rod iron, steel from iron, rolling mills, &c.
There is also screw mandatory AZ Haverstraw,
in which one hundred and fifty thousand dollars are
invested There is a small one just commenced in
Schenectady One in Norwich, Conn, wos lately
destroyed by fire, and there is one in Providence, II.
l., with capital of twenty thousand dollars. But all
these are in their infancy The article in the Fair has
been pronounced to be superior to any screw ever i'm
ported. Last year screws were imported from Eng
land TO the amount Of three hundred and ten thou
saRd dollars and yet that amount was much less
than the usual annual importation. There are at this
present time English screws in the market. They
manufacture in this country screws annually 10
the amount OF one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in two years, it IS calculated tina, they will manu-
facture over half million annually. The manufac-
ture Of screws is done principally by boys; and girls
are employed to paper them up.
