Noi' BoSSARD'S INVENTION.
In former notice OF this new invention To
pound Rice, we promised our readers a more
minute description.
We give il Eclow, in Col Bossari's ew,n
, words. lie has forwarded an application 70
the proper Department for patent, with all
necessary drawings, and we trust he wlIsuc-
cecd IN securing his right 1t may not be
! properly called newly invented machine.
! but 1t Is decided Improvement upon the old
mode of cleansing Rice. We have heard the
! worth oi Col. B's Improvement, if he succeeds
III procuring patent, variously estimated hy
those who have knowledge of such matters,
from $4,000 to 100000. He confidently
asserts that with it two horses can do, the la
hor OF eight or ten with the old mode OF pound
ing. this certainly is great saving ofpow-
er: Co'. bossard has one regularly, running,
Which practically illustrates his views and
tests his improvement.
This machine operates with shaft Of eight
/ squares which is eighteen inches in diameter.
In every alternate square, there are fixed two
iIiters parallel to each other, placed far
enough apart to pass up the exteyior sides Of
! the Pestle. The lifters are just thirteen inch
es long, when measured from the surface of
the shalt outward. and in each of the other
squares OF the shaft, there is single litter of
equal dimension, placed in central position
10 'he former ones. Pinons are placed on
the outer sides of the pestle, in horizontal M
s'tlon to the centre OF the shaft, at which point
the parallel liitcrs are in the revolinn az the
shaft to receive the pestle and bear it IN while
the single litter entering a morticc in the
centre OF the pestle while it is ascending re-

lltters are eNtricated from the pinions, and

say in second Of time, the pinons are again
taken by parallel litters, and thus the process
is continued producing four blows of the pes

twelve iilters in the whole circumference of
the shaft to each pestle.-C Camden Journal.

says, on the authority of letter from one of
the best informed politicians in Illinois, that
there is not reasonable doubt but that Gen.
| Shields will be reelected to the Senate of
the United States. The Era places the more
confidence in this opinion from the fact that
the writer prefers third person over the Gem
cral.
