The firewood company is mab ing arrangements to
supply New-York city With split fIewood at cheaper
rate tbsn can be purchased OF the poor lads who carry
their pile of split wood in apyramd upon their backs
We that if the company succeed In their enter

with their establishment for the poor boys whose hon
est calling will be injured by this invention There
are numerous interesting features in this department
which wild abuDdsnty repay examination. la addi-
ii, 10 the machines driven by power, there Is
gas manufacturing apparatus after the psten. OF
the Maryland Portable Gas company, manu-

the apparatus capable of supplying, of two and half

There are various other departments filing up. In

Of the adv erturous criver There arc dolls, balls and
other toys, warranted not TO break" even when
young America is out of temper, and the famous
PriI ce's fountain pen which adds to the facilities OF

On the whole, the exhibition Of the American insti-

years ard we congratulate the committee OF manage
