PINs.-A correspondent of the Evening Post
gives an interesting account Of the manufacture
of pins at Waterbury, Conn. The American
Pin Company, the largest in the United States,
and perhaps in the world, manufacture, on an
average, 4,0GO, 600 pins per day, or about l,
200,000,000 per year! The pin and the head
are made solid from one piece of wire; until
recently the head has been separate and twisted
on The sales and profits OF the establishment
are immense, and the patent to which the COM
pany owe their success, is kept secret and not
known even to the stockholders. The right to
use it was sold in England for $4,000.

DGy~ Mr.. Hobbs, the Yankee lock in

the English lock-maker, Bramah, who
had offered G2OO to any who would open
it within thirty days. A committee was
agreed upon to prepare the lock, placing
it between two planks frml ly fixed together
with nothing but the keyhole visible
Mr.. Hobbs commenced operations upon
the lock in presence of the committee, and
on the second trial the Braman lock was
opened, and the G2OO lost. The Bank
of England, the Government Offices, and
all safes, were locked with either Chubb's
or Bramah's Mr. Hobbs has been called
upon by the officers of the Bank of Eng

opened Bramah's lock, the committee
sent for Bramah and his friends, and when
they entered the room and saw that this
specially guarded lock had been opened,
they were, it is said, truly complete pictures
of despair.

ny The first Locomotive ever used in
the United States is still in good running
order on the Schuylkill Railroad. 1t was
built in Liverpool, England, by Edward
Bury. At the time, it was necessary to
send a man from England to put the
engine in running order on the road. 1t
was but twenty years ago that Edward
Bury's engine was placed upon our road.
Since then, the iron track has been ex-
tended throughout our land the fierce

our own engines, and even furnish them
to nations across the ocean. We're a

The sTnion, Relief Bill.

The bill for the relief of Thos. Ritchie, OF
the Washington Union, failed to pass the Sen
ate. Our readers are aware that two Jour
neymsn in his office bid to do the printing for
Congress at rates below the starvation point,
and as Ritchie was the real contractor, and
the work was all done in his Office, the loss
falls upon him. He asked Congress 10 grant
him relief, and bill passed tho House. which,
we have seen stated. would have given him
tUo hundred thousand dollars more than his
contract price. This bill failed in the Senate,
not probably because the majority was oppos-
ed to it but because it was too late to act up
on it The bill was taken up just before the
hour of adjournment, when Mr.. Pearce, of
Md, took the floor against it, and il seems,
was determined to kill it by speaking against
time. Thus it failed. But il will be up again,
and if there is Democratic Congress long
enough, we presume ii will ultimately be paid.
