Fast Printing Press.

Welearn from the New York Tribune that Mr.
/ Victor Beaumont of New York has invented a
| printing press which at moderate rate, will
deliver thirty thousand sheets printed on both
! sides in single hour. Its movement combines
the original principles Of Napier, which are ap-
! piled By Hoe in his great press, with some new
and beautifully simple arrangements and de-
vices of the inventor. 1t has large central CYL
inder like the Hoe press on which are fastened
the forms for both sides Of the sheet TO be printed
The type held fast by Hoes patent colunnn rules.
dispensing with men 10 feed the sepeTa-e suvvs
as in other power presses. This strip or band Mr.
Beaumont arranges very ingeniously he avoids
the Inconvenience inserarable from having it in
the form Of roll. by layingit in pile, folded
backward and forward like piece Of broadclo,h :
one end Of this pile is put into the press, which
draws its own supply without tearing or strain
ing the paper till the whole sheet has passed
through. AS their are no feeders, room is ob
taned for additional printing cylinders a mod
crate sized press will have twelve of these, and
will squire three hands TO run it two of them
being employed in carrying and looking af or the
paper. Each twelve cylinder press viii work
four bf these continuous sheets at a time, or one
to each three Gifts cylinders. Each sheet will
sstwice through; at its first pssage one ofits
sidesDwill be entirely printed, the forms of the
newspaper being impressed On it alternately.
As itcomes out the machine lays il back again in
the an1e sort of pile, and then carries it 10 the
prep.r spot for it to be taken up and passed
through second time, which prints the sides
left uank before. Then the machine passes it
alongto the knives which cut the sheet apart,
whileanother contrivance puts them in neat piles
-cadf for the carriers. Those knives are very
ingeiious. a serious difficulty has been expe-
riensed in other machines designed to contn-
uous sheet, from the fact that an ordinary knife
cannot be relied on 10 cut paper which is wet
enough for printing. This Inconvenience Mr..
Beaumont obviatcs by making his serratcd, or
saw shapod knives with long and acute teeth,
whidn easily pierce the paper, and once having
Obtained an entrance, the cutting is completed

the best of it yet about two weeks from that
time, one day Dick and me had been working all
day, and we made up our minds that we should
find old dad bucked for he hadn't been in the
field AZ all in the afternoon, and he always kept q
good barrel of ale in the cellar but when star
ted who should we see but the old man edging
around the ridge, so Dick and me went over that

nothing daunted pointed for the mark, the old
man lowered, a little too late, for the goat took
him plump" We heard something strike in the
mud, and it wasn't Billy, for he stood looking
down over the ridge. Ne and Dick pulled for be

Curiosities Of Puritan History.

Some Of the - Curiosities " copied from the
/ Ms. Records Of the General Court of Massachu-
setts, and published in Putnam's last, are rath-
er amusing. For instance
The Corte thinke it convenient vt order be
given toye Auditor TO send u gallons of sack &
6 gallons Of white wine, small testimony of
ye Courts respect, to vt rerrend Assembly Of
Elders at Cambridge."-yol. .. &C, l64s.
Just think Of a legislative assembly sending,
by way Of ofcompliment, a keg of whiskey 10 a con-
vention of ministers! And yet our good fathers,
though they honored the custom of drinking did
not honor the drunkard. They put the mark of
the beast upon him, and held him up unto public
shame.
g Is ordered that Robte Coles. for drunkenness
by him committed at Roxbury shall be dsf1an-

Proane swearers received even a more painful
punishment.
Elizabeth, the wife Of Thomas Aplcgste, was
censuTed to s.and with her tongue in a cleft stick
"for swearing, railing, and revileing. vol. l.

Quacks were not by any means permitted the

Tarly Marriages.
