L. W. BADGER of Auburn, IN Y. and GEo. II. KEN
NEEDY exhibit specimens Of seamless coats pantaoons
vests and mtens manufactured Of felt cloth under pa
tent granted in July last to Mr. PERKINS, which show
great improvement in many respects upon of the
clothes of the day understand that the patentee has
also taken out letters patent in England for his invention
The articles manufactured entirely of WOOL and in
making the CLOTH the coat panaloons vest &C. are made
by the operation. If the reader win call to mind
the fact that the felt hat durable than any other
he viii understand that cloth made the same principle
is durable than any other description of cloth The
printer of this day. however is well of this fact
as we'll of the fact that the wooen felt cloth
plable any other cloth the press blanket being
thing than wooen felt CLOTH know nothing of
the details of the machinery which these articles be-
ing exhibited at the Fair made Its results however
satisfy me that it is completely successful have
coat thus manufactured which, after fifteen months
use appears hardly than If it had not been
dozen times mans back. There being seams in
these garments, OF course there be rip,
the wear of coat thus made show much until it gives
way entirely Because at the seams alone does dis
cover good coats until it is worn threadbare.
There threads in these garments, they cannot
be worn threadbare For the same reason while such
cloth will hold together it will present that poverty
betraying sign, threadbareness f may be permitted
10 coin new word In general appearance tho clothes
made under this patent elegant and complete
any shown in the windows of the fashionable taors of
Broadway They must be much cheaper than those made
up by hand for in the process Of making the cloth the
entire garment is also manufactured to sewing
the buttons. AS for the cloth of which these garments
are woven, am satisfied that it is far durable than
any other cloth manufactured and destined
or later to create quite revolution in the method in
which of clothed The gloves and mittens, if
they make all well those on exhibition here are
made, will very drive out of all other descrp
tons of heavy gloves for gentlemen's wear.
LONG & DAvESfoRr, No. 10 Plat street, New York,
exhibit specimens of Ftchs circular capock, which
well worth noticing from the fact that they sold
fifty cents per Dozen with keys for the bureau desk
closet indeed for any thing requiring small sized lock;
they well finished durable, and safe as any lock
for the same purpose in use, though afforded at
low price. As unpretending this invention or i'm
proyement is it is really of great value to the country
enabling all to save at least shilling each common
lock they may have occasion to An inspection of
brought orcby to my recollection the good
old adage, save the pennies and the pounds will take
care of themselves"
PARKER s Corr, BIG Broadway, New York, exhibit

is beautiful thing | have watched its operation
peatedy within the last week All Of the filters hereto
fore in made of felt sponge, flannel quartz
charcoal, and Of them have been found to be
trey successful without frequent renewals repairs
This filter is entirely of porous glass; encased in guta
percha Britannia metal know that it prevents any
Of the impurities in water from escaping into the vessel
into which is being drawn The exhibitor Of this
filter illustrates the results Of its by showing the i'm
purtes in the Croton collected the top of the porous
glass after minutes application at the mouth Of
discharge pipe This is done by simply reversing their
little contrvance, by which the animalcue dirt
&c. collected upon the top of the glass in minute are
deposited in tumbler Of water side by side with the
tumber of water drawn off in the process Of collecting
these impurities They cost mere trae and can be at
tached any description Of faucet used for railroad
steamboat hotel family purposes There is nothing
shown the Fair likely do for the health and
comfort of the community at large than this uupre
tending little filter. w. d. W.
