/ NEW THING ENTIRELY.-The most

n astonishing performance heard of! Barrels,

smooth enough to varnish, entirely by machinery.
The timber is taken in the boh, the slaves are
sawed following, and tcih the grain cut Of uni
form length, dressed perfectly smooth in and out
side, OF uniform thickness, oned with perfect ac-
curacy each having its proportionate bilge accord
ing TO its width and the strength ofeach fully tested;
the cask is howelled, chamfered, croase cut heads
turned, and the whole prepared for the hopping
process in manner perfect, complete and
superior finish, that we challenge the world TO
produce the equal and that at the rate OF from two
hundred to three hundred per dayto each machine.
BY this process, all casks can be made, from the
smallest whitehead keg, to the largest size cask in
general use; all of which, can be warranted to hold
the most subtle fluids, or adapted to the packing
ofany description goods. In fact the machinery
cannot make an imperfect article unless the fault
Is erolnsipeiy in the timber.

this machinery in the States of Virginia, Maryland

supply the gas at any desired pressure less than

tons of the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulators is light Of more
