tracing great intention among the visiters there
Its construction is very ingenious and its perform
ance truly astonishing A murderous looking
knife, about Eve feet long, and shaped somewhat
like quarter segment Of a large stove-pipe, hung
by its centre, Is constantly playing up and down,
and at the same time Is made to move back and
forth ehdwse thus giving to the edge Of the knife
peculiar drawing motion or stroke. Large blocks
of wood, previously softened by steaming are
placed on bed-plate, past the edge of which the
knife shears in its descent and kept pressed up
against guages at proper distance in front, SO
that every stroke takes offa stave, followed aud
rounded as IL should be, with beautifully smooth
and finished surface, which needs no further dress
ing. So rapid Is the action Of the machine, that
the wood seems fairly devoured by Il. AT the rate
we saw ID working, il would turn out SO, 900 slaves
per day, or enough for 5000 barrels, and cut up
twenty-five cords Of wood. Making all deduction
necessary for loss Of time, II Is said that Il be
relied on to make slaves enough for 1000 barrels
day Of ten hours, week after week. BY the use
Of IL, about oneiourth more slaves can be obtained
from the same timber than by irving; and timber
can be worked by Il which would not rive at all,
and which can be obtained at much less price
than the ordinary stavo timber
The pronrietors also exhibit all the other ma
chinery necessary for finishing the slaves and
heading ready for the cooper's use consisting Of
stave jointer, Grover, head.turner, &c. All these
work with great accuracy and speed; and the
ointer especially Is entitled 10 fuller description

The ouakers two Centuries Ago.

The Boston Transcript, in giving an account Of
the extension Of improvements in that city, pre-
SCENTS some curious items in reference to the Qua
kers, taken mostly from the last number Of brakes
History of Boston:
"The first Quakers who came to Boston arrived
in May, 1856. The laws against the sect were very
severe in the Massachusetts, Colony, and every
Quaker found in it was liable to the loss OF one OF
his ears. Four of them were put TO death. From
the year 1864 to 1903 the Society of Friends held
regular meetings in Boston. This sect built the
first brick meeting house in the town. Its site Is
believed 20 have been somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of that on which Brattle-street church now
stands. In 1908, the society sold their house OF
worship and the town authorities refused them
permission to erect new one OF wood.
"A second brick edifce was erected ON what was
afterwards known as Quaker lane, now Congress
street. This Westinghouse was destroyed in the
great FIRE of 1850, but was Immediately replaced.
The building stood till April, 1925, when twas
sold and removed. II had hardly been occupied
for twenty years. A neat stone edifce was soon
erected in Milton place. which Is occasionally used
for public worship, when an approved minister Of
the sect is in the city. How differently the mem
bers of the Society Of Friends are now regarded
from what they were by the Massachusetts, colo
nists in 1875, when law was enacted subjectng
every person found at a Quaker meeting to be
committed to Jail, to have the discipline Of the
house, and TO be kept at work with bread and wa
ter, or else pay f5pn

Good News from the West.

We published (says the Alexandria Gazette) an
extract Of letter we received from the northwes-
tern rart of the State, from an intelligent and re-
liable source, few days ago, in relation to the
present political canvass in the State. We have
since then had letters from the Piedmont country,
and from the West, which speak the same Ian
guage. They assure US that the American move
ment and the American principles, are sympathized
with largely outside Of the order that the order
itself is increasing in numbers that with many
of the Democrats there is great lukewarmness
and indispostion to vote for the Stannton nominees
md that with union, harmony, and proper exer-
ton, Mr.. Wise and his colleagues can be beaten
by large majority, and will be beaten. We feel
confident that this result will be attained. The
American party will show by their principles and
their action, that they deserve the confidence Of
the whole people, irrespective of former political
denominations
