N IN. place, they are learning every Gay,
.ometh;ng new 1T least to them, of the busi-
n..s of Burlington. And at the risk of pub
fishing what perhaps others may regard as
,lrealy we'll known and understood, they
will venture, occasionally to notice such
n,pufactures rs may seem noteworthy.
And amoung such We visited the other day
the Foundry and Machine shop Of Messrs.

everything in motion-wheels turning, and
Il, the clsnqor and clatter incident to estab.
lishments Of this kind.
We looked in upon the foundry, Machine
Shop, carpenter, and pattern shops, ana
found the cunning workers in oil these bran
ches, at thei. various occupations, too busy
and too much engrosscd, to even notice the
insre,s or egress Of an humble member OF the
corps editorial.
Messrs. RExz & Co., manufacture and put
up stationary engines, and do up general
business Of the kind and character carried on
in similar establishments. And although
somewhat crowded for room, and perhaps
doing larger amount Of business than 10
generally performed with tn; same amount
Of machinery, we are told their jobs are uni
formly we'll done, and their engines compare
favorably with those from moro distant and
more celebrated works.
There is no better point in the whole west,
than Burlington for manufactures. And We
look conf iently for such an increase in bust
ness as shall not only greatly enlarge the OPP
eratons of those already established, but
bring amoug US many new ones, in all the
various branches, and add to our members
an Industrious snterprising and skilful pop:

style. Another battle now began, and
continued until darkness came down up
on both armies, The British could not
advance, while the retreating forces Of
General Sullivan were gathered and re-
organized. Although pressed very hard,
Greene's corps holds its ground. and when
night came on the two armies were very
close together.
The British force being greatly supe-
rior to the American, in every respect,
Washington concluded not to risk anoth>
er engagement, but that night his troops
retreated, and the next day marched to
Germantown.
Sullivan had been censured for negli-
gence in allowing himself to be surprised
by the British army, but he was cleared
from any such imputations by commit
tee of investigation. The battle of Bran
dywine was unfortunate for the Ameri-
can cause, although to the royal forces it
was dear victory. Their loss was over
eight hundred killed, wounded and miss
ing. The patriots lost in the same man
ner twelve hundred men, more than two
thirds militia. Ten small cannon also
fell into the enemy's possession.
In this battle. Count Pulaski, the ac-
compIished Polish officer, took a promi~
nent part. He commanded the cavalry
ry-a fine corps which he had drilled to
perfection. When the pursuing columns
of English came up with Greene's men,
Pulaski charged upon their ranks (disor>
dered by the pursuit. and cut down whole
platoons.
On the evening previous to the battle,
one Of the chaplains of the American ar
my preached to the soldiers an eloquent
and patriotic sermon from the text-"Thcy
that take the sword shall perish by the
sword.'
Gen. Lafayette was taken to the con-
vent Of the Moravian Nuns at Bethlehem,
where he received kind attention until
once more able to join the army.

Cosr OF DRESSING New York FASHION
ABLE LADIEs.-One OF the New York Jour
nals-the Sun-enters into calculation
of the amount Of money required to dress
the fashionable ladies of that city, and II
figures out sum that will be trul y sur
prising to the ladies. OF Baltimore. who
are generally SO attractive by nature that
there is no necessity for them to run into
such extravaganza. The Sun says:
"There are in New York and Brooklyn
not less than 5000 ladies' whose dress
bills will average annually $4,000 each,
or ten millions Of dollars for all. There
are 5000 more whose dress expenses will
average $1,000 each, or five millions Ol
dollars for the whole number !; and five
millions Of dollars more would not cover
the dress expenses of those whose bills
average every year from 5000 to $500
Thus, at a low estimate, the annual cost
of dressing our fashionable ladies is taCenty
millions of dollars. Perhaps we could not
exceed the truth if we estimated the total
annual cost Of dressing and jeweI!ing the
ladies of New York and its vicinity al
from thirty to forty millions Of dollars,
The sums which many heads Of families
in New York spend upon their wives and
daughters for really unnecessary or ex~
travagaut dress, would amount in a few
wears to handsome fortune. We have
heard instances of ladies whose dress-bllls.
independent of iewelry, for single year.
have been as much as six or seven thou
sand dollars. If the ladies' throughout
the Union would forego their extrava-
gance in dress, the amount saved in
Single year would be sufficient to build a
railroad to the Pacific. In New York
enough might be saved, and our ladies
still be well dressed, to pay off the city
debt. or lay out and beautify the Central
Park"

An Elephant on Board Steamboat

An Elephant on Board Il Steamboat.
When the elephant went up the lake
on the steamer Lady EIgin, a few days
since, We remarked that the huge traveller
might be a somewhat ugly customer on
board boat. 1t appears that on the
passage the wheelman suddenly found
difficulty in changing the boats course.
For, tug and pull, and bear on as much
as he would, the wheel would not bulge
an inch. Port helm !" cried the Cap
tain. AYE, aye, SIR" responded the
wheelman. But still the helm was " hard
a star board" and the boat was taking a
turn into the middle of the lake. The
captain swore, and the mate made for the
wheel house. Pushing the man aside, he
took hold himself. 1t was Of no use-the
wheelman. " Port helm Cant you see
where the boat is going ?" shouted out
the captain. The mate declared that
! some! hing was the matter with the wheeI ,
as he could not stir it. The thing was
perfectly inexplicable. The engine was
stopped. and master, mate and all hands
went below to see what could be the mat
ter. After a search of some minutes, it
was discovered that Mr.. Siam, the " Ele-
phant" of the Menagerie, not liking the
noisy rattling of the chains overhead, had
taken upon himself the responsibility OF
giving a new "tugn" to affairs. With
his trunk wound round the chain, he was
holding on with the grasp of vice, and
it was with some difficulty that the keep
er persuaded him that such liberties could
not be allowed. 1t is said that he be-
haved quite we'll during the rest of the
voyage -BuGalo ComnaerciaI,
