'ENHE subscriber has erected foundry at Vesu-
vius Furnace for the double purpose Of making
all articles usually executed at foundres, and of
manufacturing the Livingston county Plow. This
pillow was first used in the county of Rookbridge
but little more than one year ago since then,

had an opportunity of testing it, have given the
strongest testimony Of its value as a cheap, eff

that all without a single exception, who have
purchased and tried this pillow during the past
year, have been highly pleased with its operation,
and have been generally convinced that it will
soon supercede all others now in use. The nat

these facts, that all his TASKS & of his patterns

HOLLOW SHOT.

From recent experiments made at Albany
New York, in presence of General Wool and
Major Baker of the United States Army, the
hollow shot and shells invented by Scott and
Bardick, of that city, were found to be terri
bic missiles, and fully answered the expecta-
lions of the inventors and the gentlemen pre-
sent The shells arc loaded with compost
ton designed to explode them at the instant Of
striking any object at which they arc aimed,
and the effect of single shot upon large
ship would be 10 sink her almost instantane-
ously, and exploding in or near body oil
troops, it would prove awfuily destructive.
