MOULDING BRICK BY CoNCUssIoN-A ma
chine has been invented for forming or mould
ing brick by concussion, whether it be done
by mechanicism made use of by the inventor
or any other device, which will produce the
same effect The hopper is filed with the
prepared clay--the moulds being on its bot
tom, it is then elevated by the action of the
cam on the projection this cam is of such a
shape, that when the hopper is at its required
height, it passes from beneath the projection,
allowing the hopper to drop down upon the
table, forcing, by the conclusion, the clay into
the mould. The conclusion is such that the
bricks are perfectly formed, having no inter
stices in them, produced by confined air. A
cut of may be arranged to separate the clay
Ia the moulds from that in the hopper. But it
lie intended to put mould in one side of the
hopper, while it is in being out on the oppo-
site side r-rt 's. %.

The MINISTER AND THE FIDDLE.-A good
story is related, in which DR. Pond is made
to figure quite prominently. On q certain
day be was waited upon by a maiden lady of
his congregation, who came TO reprimand the
esteemed and somewhat facetious preacher,
for having bought fiddle for his son. Scarcely
waiting for the usual salutations, upon en-
tering the pastors dwelling, she began, as tho
story goes:
and profession might have something better
to do when you we're in New London, last
week, than to buy Enoch a fiddle, all the
people were ashamed that our minister should
buy his son n fiddle. A fiddle! Oh, dear,
what is the world coming to, when ministers
will do such things!"
Who told you I had bought Eno.h I'D
die ?" inquired the Doctor.
"Who told me, Why everybody says 50. and
some people have heard him play on it as they
passed the door. But aim il true, Doctor"
"1 bought Enock a violin when 1 went ~
New London
"A violin! what's thst!'
Did you never see one?"
" Never"
" Enoch," said the Doctor, stepping to the
door, T" bring your violin ?''
Enoch Obeyed the command, but no sooner
had he entered with his instrument, than the
lady exclaimed:
"La. now there; why it's fddle.''
"DO not judge rashly," said the Doctor,
giving his son a wink "wait till you hear il -
Taking the hint, Enoch played Old Hun
dred The lady was completely mystifed; it
looked like a fiddle, but then who ever heard
Old Hundred played on a fiddle! it could not
be. So arising to depart, she exclaimed:
am glad came to satisfy myself La,
me. just think how people will liet"
