New Trucks.

From the advertisement of the Super
intendent of the Portage Rail Road which
will be found in our columns this week,
it will be perceived that the Canal Board
contemplate putting twelve new truck up
on the road so as TO accommodate the large
and increasing trade upon it. Proposals
for their construction will be received al
Summit until the 10Th inst. This is all
right and proper and we are pleased to see
the efforts made by the officers of the
Commonwealth TO accommodate the sec
tion boatmen, and to avoid delays hereto,
fore occasioned for want OF q sufFicIen
number of trucks in Transporting theil
boats over the mountain.

Extraordinary Invention.

The New York correspondent OF the
of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has the fol-
lowing:.-"I saw a machine, today, which
if | am not mistaken, is destined to create
a revolution in the preparation of sugar.
In my presence some two hundred
weight Of the djrliest character magma
bic, and as black as SCOT, was placed in
1t, and in six minutes by my watch It
came out white, dry, and perfectly clean
and sweet. Knowing nothing of me-
chanics, cannot give you good dcscrip-
ton oil. All that lean say IS that the
cylinder lined with wire cloth, which
reyoIves about three hundred times {
minute, and after making about fifteen
hundred revolutions, the sugar Is found tC
be clean and dry. Centrifugal motion
cleans il. The machine was first applied
10 drying cloths, butitis admirably suitel
for clarifying oil, rectfying sugar, and q
thousand other purposes.
