Cloth Sheqying.-Mr. Woolson, of the firm OF
Davidson Parks < W uolson, in this town, (Spring-
field, VT is pcrfrcting several important improve
ments in the cloth shcarng machine. With others,
and perhaps the most important, may be considered
the selfadiustng rest so constructed that will
commodatc itself 10 the list or edge Of the cloth
whether wide narrow, and always saving 1t from
the shears. Such is the perfection and speed OF this
machine that two girls or two boys shear 10000
yards per day thus doing three times the amount Of
work with half the labor that would be required on
the old machine. The machine in operation
lays the cloth off in folds Instead Of rolling ii as Is
usually done, and guard lifts the shears whenever
any lap i'll the cloth approaches, so that no
injury done either shears Cloth One OF these
machines may be in operation in the Mddissex
Mill, at Low ell, Mass.
Mtssrs. D., P. & w. are now making machine
for shearing the largest size Cashmere or common
wool shaw for the Bay State Company at Lawrence,
which will, when finished, be the largest in the
Union-Fcrmer and Mechanic.
