WEAVING IN IRON.

Strange az the idea may seem, it is no less
strange than true, that iron Of a thickness that
would make il appear impossible that it could be
worked by any other agency than the forge, the
anvil, and the hammer, is now, by the aid OF new
and powerful machinery, woven into the most
beautiful patterns and the designs varied with
almost the same facility M in the weaving of II
carpet or a table cover The specimens that we
have seen excel in beauty and finish any iror
railing that We have ever seen, and do not cost
more than half the ordinary cost of even Cast iron
railing. Many of the first class counting houses
and offices in New York are now fitted up with
this railing in preference to any other heretofore
or at present in use The uses of the invention,
however, are not confined TO ratings, rs the most
tasteful verandahs, window gratngs garden fem
ces, &c, are made by it. The coal miners of
Pennsy lvana prefer it above all other modes for
their screens Charleston and New Orleans each
have parks enclosed with it, and many of the rich
Southerners have their flower conserva cries en-
closed in the same manner In fact, wherever it
has been introduced, it has come almost into I'M
limited favor. The peculiar advantage it pos
sesses over all other kinds of railing is, that in
its manufacture the rod or wire is so crimped that
in the weaving process they are crossed in man.
ner that one binds the other, thus giving a mu-
tual support to tho whole, that renders il more
durable than work twenty times its weight made
in the old way.
Mr. John Wickersham, the ingenious inventor,
also manufactures superior article of iron wire
farm fences, that cost but little, will last man
his lifetime, and are easily constructed. In
thinly-woOded countries they will come into rap
id demand as they already are in many parts of
Europe. Add to these one more article. Mr.
Wickersham manufactures bedstead Of iron so
constructed, that it can be shut up during the
daytime, and will require but few inches of room
from the wall out, is bug proof, and easily man
aged We think his store is worthy visit to
those who visit the city of New YOrk-ABany

Very nearly four millions of dollars have been
expended in New York upon these roads, and the
resulting advantages are immense The roads
have all been subscribed for by individuals, and
all pay handsome dividends. For instance, the
Troy and Lsnsingburg road pays 10 per cent,
semi.annual; the Utica and Burlington, 20 per
cent and we believe none in operation pay less
than 10 per cent, and none Of the stocks can be
bought in the market
The importance of plank roads in farming re-
gions becomes selfcvidcnt, when it is stated that
on the Salina road two-horse team drew SIR tons
of iron twelve miles, without unusual strain.
Four and a half tons is an ordinary load and a
team will travel with il eight hours per day, four
miles an hour, day after day. A farmer in
heavy country, stated that the tolls paid saved
themselves in the labor of cleaning horses In all
localities where these roads are in operation land
rises greatly In value. On the Sslina road, farm
land rose from 50 to SIS per acre. On the SYRIA
cuse road the increase was $40 per acre. IL will
