ECONOMY ~ TnE LABoEs or TIE Observation-Disclosures one
oil the most important inventions in this connection We,
introduced is now exhibition at the Columbian Hotel
IN TINS city, cradle on the Theological cock-princi.
pie propelled by like motye-agency is suspended be-
VII Mill,
PLATFORM standing upon four handsomely wrought legs al
capable of being novel about by means Of the ordinary
wheels used for house furniture This suspenng power
which holds the cradle elevated, consists two narrow
brass plates about six inches long, which connect il with
the pillars at either end having all the facilities of oscia
ton peculiar to the pendulum of a clock The motive
agency however, is only applied one the details in tho
structure being OF course capable, as in all principles Of
mechanism of adaptation greater or less necessity as
the case may be. The weights as in some clocks are
encased within the two pillars and being wound up i'm.
part an easy anu graceful motion the cradle for twenty
-FOUR honrs, liable TO DO suspended at will for any time
IN ae all the efficiency which belongs the theological
principle, is embodied in this And in the general view
oil Its economy We may notice another not very upmpor
ant eitare which is the perpetual ticking consequent
upon its notion so cminently calculated to supnrnduce
oamy sleep, and supercede the necessity of tho hussa
my baby so very irksome the fond mother vet injs
pensabc often in producing the agreeable lu Edmonds
faIent Cradle IS capable OF eecting all these results II
one who can hes, appreciate the advantages of such
an invention, would only inform themselves Of the details
AMI Objects oil this useful article doub. not they would
have them, no matter what tho price. II we had use for
such an article the simple acquisitions of the household in
that connection would induce us to buy I'D the patent
right off, and keep all ourselves The mere satisfaction
OF seeing an innocent babe who would otherwise DO rest
less and troublesome quickly launched into an agreeable
Sleep Is worth the price of dozen of these useful and
necessary articles.
mr. H. carlyle agent of the pIten,ee, Mr.. Elm onds is
no" NJ the Columbian Hotel, and will probably leave in
one or two days lie prepared to dispose ofbe paen,
right for the whole State or more counties thereof
Being TO return home as possible having
contracted certain disease of the eyes in the course of his
travels, which renders hI immediate return strict ne.
cesay Mr. Carlyle will dispose of the right at rate that
cannot he gTumhle,lat at.
That it will take we'll after the public becomes more
generally informed oftusc and advantages there can he
no doubt
The cradle will he exhibited a. the Columbian Hotel
this day AMI Tomorrow where all will have an opportnnity
of ssongit. Our friends Petersburg may do worse
than come and negotiate for the purchase of the patent
right for that district.
Another very useful invention will al.o be exhibition
In the shape Of Maiz, Harvester which, with one man
AMI horse Is capable Of emitting aui pilng up in any
sized lunches twenty of corn in a day.
We will soon starte the world by inventions in this
here region.
The fact i' the cradle beat, our time. With IT, bab, 9
would cease to he any trouble aud every thing in that
way would go on smack smooth
II such chance will offer for som, time again call NJ
