ExTRAoRDINARY COoP The ap.

ductiop Of articles necessary for com.
merce has rarely been exhibited in a
more striking way than by patented in
vention for constructing casks. barrels,
puncheons. and everything in the cooper.
ing line. in space Of time which litter
ally battles belief. One of the machines
is at present in operation at the ST. R"l
lox works. An on locker must be aston.
ished to find the slaves of an ordinary
sized cask prepared, put together, aud
headed in little more than ten minutes
The thing is periect-the cutting and
Joining are done in mathematical precis.
ion, and all the hand really has to do is Ia
arrange the slaves and fix the heads; all
the rest is accomplished by machinery,
and with so little trouble, that the article

was on. The mechanism. like that of all
important inventions, IL exceedingly y sim

doing a great deal Of work with very
small amount Of labor has not been hi
upon before now. We cannot we'll de-
scribe the instrument and its adjnncts
without diagrams, but il is an invention
well worthy of notice, because 1t saves
manual labor, and gives great amount
of reliance on vessels not leaking. great

There's lakelet in the mountain
Whence but icy streams depart.
And that fountain is the feeling.
Thou ihyself hast turned 10 gall;
But the lakelet's ice is stealing
Over feeling, thought and oil. .. -

In its bitterness grows cold.

the New York Tribune tnat several of
the manufacturers in Central New York
have sent out an agent to explore the
London and Liverpool markets, where
wool can he procured at cost. including
duties, making il more profitable than
the high priced American fleece, which
has been bou !ht up ot such exirnvagant
prices by persons who desi,e to mon"po.
lize the market All kinds of woollen
abrics. except mnuseline de I.eaines are
depressed. aud the object is to secure the
fine woods for the manufacture of the lat
ter fabric, ltom which handsome prof,
is realized. The writer says: This new
enterprise of manufacturers uniting to
appoint an agent to supply themselves
when drunestIc wonls rule higher than
they eau aft rd, will undoubtedly lead
others To pursue tre same course; nor is
there any good reason why manufacturers
should not share the profits hitherto made
by wool importers aud dealers"
