HUTCHINSON sSrAvL.JoISrER.-Mr.C c. b. Hutch

ceived last year the highest award Of the Crystal Pal

These two carriages are connected b. links to the

The means by which the proper swell in the middle

By properly proportiOning the curve given to the

cuired. A set Of Hutchinsons machines as now per-
iected for cutting ontng and crozing are stated by
the proprietor to make from 500 TO 1000 barrels per
day.
FRAME roR GRAFE VISEs.-Nr. s. o. Cross Of
Sandy Hill has invented very convenient frame or
,res for grape vines. The advantage of the frame
is that il is on hinges at the bottom 80 that il can be
raised and lowered, pitch ID at any angle and either
laid upon the ground made perpendicular. BY this
ue.ps the posture of the vine can be changed &C
cordipp 10 the weather and the without in any
WAY iuiuring its vigor and fruitfuluess.
A NEw FoG-ALARM TRUNPET.-After long con-
tipued experiment, Mr.. Dslrol of Connecticut, has
succeeded in constructing mechanical Fog Trumpet
for lighthouses and lighi-ships, so arranged that 1t
blows At stated intervals and loud that it is said to
sometimes send the sound distance Of eight or ten
mills The machinery is inclosed in small frame
building. twelve feet square, and is regulated by a
clock. which puts the apparatus in notion stops it.
.pt blows the alarm at will, in one, two, three
or FIVE minutes the keeper may please to ADJUST It,
The trumpet is made of brass, about four feet long
with n mouth.piece similar to the organ pipe. The
tongue is of hammered brass, German silver, or Steel
This apparatus has been tried on Long Island Sound
and is said TO be far preferable to the Fog Bell

A,FRIcIS MAcHIsERI ABROAD.-The Messrs
Adams of South Boston, have constructed two Of
their improved s1.roller printing presses for Scot
land which are now ready TO be shipped. Que OF
them is for Blakey Sou, Gasgow, the other is for

for urinrne tie incest wood cuts and have improve
