ties of friendship, by the associations of youth,
and by the relation of companion and fellow

THE national Fam. Among tho articles
exhibited at the National Fair, the Intelligent
Ger notices the following from Baltimore:
Bentley's Patent Portable Steam Boiler,
manufactured by d. B. Smull s. Co., Balti-
more, is very useful invention, and has been
adopted by several large establishments, public
institutions, SC.
]. Cortan & Son, of Baltimore, have large
exhibition of Baths, Rath-tubs, Sc; and, judg-
ing from the cost and easy adaptation of them
to almost all houses, it appears totally unneces-
sary that any family should be without an ar
ticle so necessary to health and comfort.
There is variety of Hose, Buckets, &C.,
exhibited by Messrs. Dukehart, of Baltimore,
Z. w. Dialogue, Of Philadelphia, and others
In Chemical products we would direct the
attention of visiters to the beautiful specimens
of alum, EPSON salts, and copperas, sent from
the chemical works of Samuel s. Philip T. Ell
licott, of Baltimore. These gentlemen manu-
facture annually 100000 lbs. of each of the
i former articles.
Among the machines, models &C., is beau
tiful Steam Engine, constructed by Poole s.
Ferguson, of Baltimore This engine is of
twenty horsepower. The smoothness and
stiffness with which it performs its operations
is truly wonderful. We have heard many
cottage-spnnng wheel make more noise. The
construction is simple, the workmanship e&-
| cellent, and the consumption of fuel, we are
told, is fifty per cent less than that of ordinary
engines.
MIR. w. Duff, of Baltimore, exhibits Hy-
drostatlc Safety Valve. So far as our knowl-
edge of the subject extends, we think it val
liable invention.
Messrs. J. r. s. F. w. Marston, of Balti-
more, have on exhibition rich collection of
cut glass ware, manufactured by themselves.
The following machinery is exhibited by the
Laurel Factory, Maryland. Cotton Loom,

much attention.

tering Cistern, invented by A. G. Heckrotte,
of Cumberland, Md.
Messrs. Tayman s Brown, of Washington,
}, d. c., exhibit Patent Furnace or Forge Bel
!, lows. This is very ingenious and effective
invention. The continuous blast of air is
poxttarfitl he lyao
revolutions per minute, and discharges four
} hundred cubic feet Of air each minute.
