A WmrMG MAcHME.-The Norwich Courier
furnishes the following description Of writing ma
chine, the invention of Mr.. Charles Thurber, OF
that place. previously known as the inventor of a
printing machine:
The name Of the machine is Thurber's Patent
Mechanical Chirographer. The machinery is al
most entirely enclosed in a handsome mahogany
case. resembling the case Of piano forte. A per-
pendicular platen, sliding with the paper, as each
letter is made, is seen in the rear of the case hold
ing up the paper 30 that the operator can see the
letters as they are successively, formed on the
paper and detect any error that may occur.
In front are ivory keys, one for each letter and
character which may be required in writing In
front of the paper protruding through the top OF
the case, is fountain pen, Of original construction,
which as you press upon key forms the letter or
character on the sheet.
The operator takes his seat at the machine and
simply presses upon the key corresponding to the
letter or character which he wishes to use and the
writing is effected. When the platen has moved
through the width of the paper, you touch ivory
knob in front, just slide the paten back, and new
line is brought up to the pen-the latter operation
consuming not time than is required to replen-
ish pen with ink by hand. This machine was de.
signed more particularly for the blind, and those
cannot use pen by reason Of nervousness or other
affection Of the hand, but its utility will moi. end
here.
1t is confidently anticipated that it will be useful
in keeping records, where great legibilrty ana me
cbancal accuracy are desirable BY enlarging the
paten so as to afford for two or more sheets OF
paper, and multiplying the number Of pens to equal
the number Of sheets, you can multiply your copies
adj Hb;i,pn. without any additional machinery OF
physical effort. If you wish to keep copies Of
your correspondence, this will afford very expedi-
ious mode Of doing it, as it requires additional
labor or time to do It.
This machine is entirely different from the one
formerly invented by Mr. Thurber, the chirography
in this being done with a pen, while, in the old
printer, it WINS done with types. BY this machine
person is able to write with much greater rapid
y than he can print with that. A patent has been
granted for this invention in the United States, and
measures are already in progress to secure patent
both in England, France, and in other European
States. q b, f..r .. b.. r...H ".. W ...H .f.H.

EXTENSIVE EMIGRATION FROM GER
" MANY TO TEXAS.

The Harz mountains, in northwestern Germany
are well known TO be among the richest deposita
res Of mineral wealth in Europe. A letter from
this region published in the Paris journal des
Debats" of December 7, says:
"ln our mountains emigralions to Texas have
been Tor some time past 80 numerous that several
villages have been completely deserted. Agents
gong through the country, painting the delights OF
texas IN glowing colOrs, have so far excited the
lmaglaahons OF the unfortunate peasants, that the
authorities have been obliged 10 interfere in order
70 put an end TO this traffic in men. In less than
three months more than six thousand inhabitants
have quilted our mountains, where mines Of iron,
lead and mercury abound, To 90 search of gold al
the distance Of four thousand leagues"
A safe and speedy voyage to the worthy saxons,
Jrausr, (tribes,) kinder (chdren,) and all. There
are no people whom we should be more happy to
receive among US. If hey should not all find gold,
or even lead, or iron, mercury, they all OBJ
