The following article om the N. Y. Tribune of the

held by the high authority of the American Institute
:.s From the N. Y. Tribune.
HoTCHKISS'S WATER WHEEL.
This Wheel, after having been adopted by some htn-
dreds of mill owners on the Delaware Susquehan nah
and other numbering regions, presented for compe
ton at the late fair of the American Institutes and there
was awarded two premiums by different Committees
first the best Water Wheel for Saw Mills secondly
being of the five best inventions submitted at the
Fair has been extensively adopted in the great pine
districts ofthe South and its rapid and smooth execution,
perfect immunity from ice or hack water and other
omies, are securing it very general preference The
Inventor is his way SOUTH and may be addressed
at Augusta Ga at his residence, Windsor, Broome
county. NJ Y Its advantages are summed as follows:
!. The Vertical Wheel, when used for Saw Mills,
qures gearing produce from 175 to 500 strokes of
the per minute.
2. They are as cheaply constructed as the common
Flutter Wheel and will do double the business with the
same advantage of the water. .tt -: , ...... ....
8. Back water is no impedment when there is head
above
4. Ice cannot form the wheels. . TO
s. They occupy less space than Flutter Wheel Mill.
6. The increased speed of the makes better lum-
ber cuts the distance with less resistance and the
sawdus is freely thrown off, which often returns with
the saw, causing it to bind and heat, with slow Mills.
