AN IMPORTANT INVENTION. We have been
shewn by several ofthe best tailors Of our city,
an entirely new and original instrument for as
certaining correct measurement of the human
frame, which they, and all who have examin-
ed it, pronounce to be the very best and most
reliable one, ever yet made known. 1t is the
sole invention Of MIR. VIM. r. Acton, Of Viz
ginia, who is now in this city for the purpose
of publishing his work Of diagrams and exPla-
nations, connected with his system, as we'll as
TO teach those who may desire to subscribe TO
and use it. 1t is called the "Transfer Sys-
tenn" or the "Talor's Transfer, and we
think it is destined to be transferred to the use
| cal. &c toll nj
the United States. We are glad to hail this
as another unmstakeab evidence of the ra-
pidIy increasing spirit of invention and i'm
ptovement in this section Of the country.
