mont Republican has the following ttcns:
Millers & Co, of Wheeling, have really put their
shoulders to the work, and the first Furnace for the
manufacture of Iron in this county, will soon go into
operation. Every thing is in readiness to begin, save
the steam engine, which has been whiting for several
weeks at Wheeling for transportation by railway TO
this place.
The iron ore found by Mcssrs. Mil!crs & Co, is of
the very best quality, and in great obundance! We
also understand that tue Clinton Works, on the Dor
der of Marion in Monongulin, lately purchased Ly
George Hardman & Co. of Whcelirtg, will prove a
most profitable undertaking..
BY the way, we may mention thattlc materials for
the manufacture of glass, are found in incxhanstibIe
quantities in our beautiful little county.

r HAVE invented (and am applying to use 50 far as
to fully test its properties) WCheck or Rubber, for
the purpose of checking and holding permanently q
boat when entering the locks or any other close place,
through which it may pass, on the several cannls.--.
The invention is as follows, viz: a sill OF proper al-
mensions laying across the boat, intlie centre OF winch
is n fulcruni or axle to work q leXeror hller ON, paTal-
lei to and on the top of the. sill arc two pieces oil TIM
Der, of suitable size, for the purpose OF sllders; at the
centre above named, in the sill, Is also a pivot tulcruln
or axle for the lever to take hold oil ana work the sh9-
ing pieces in strnight lines with, and in opposite di-
rcCtions to, each other, 1utung tue cnds Oh inc sHaLng
pieces out of the sides Of the boat and thus check it's
Roadway, by rubbing against the mason work of the
lock. The lever when placed on thetwo sliding pieces
will be in form as in Euclid, book list, propositions
9th, 18th, and 10Th, of a line falling on two straight
lines, and the changes by the required moving OF me
giles Mt their iuncturcs. Tho same movement oil ue
two sliding pieces maybe effected by other fixture,
such MS the placing between the two sliding plcccsa

in a line with them something operating as n jack
screw, or other something of the kind which VIII pro-
duce the required operation, such as two pieces, one
end of each piece made fast to n sliding piece and the
two ends Joined, so as to form an obtuse angie, winch
when drawn to Il straight line will produce-thc same
operation on the two angles ut opposite sides, such as
would form the rhambus or rhnlnbaid, all OF which
will answer the same purpose; rollers may pc placed
in different ways ON the end of thSsiding pieces mat

such as Levers and Jacks for raishg the spans oil

trouble of trcsseling in the water. The same can be
applied in building wood or iron bridges, so that IN a
