FUSS AMONG THE BANKS.
For nsr, years, the Suffolk Bank Of Bos-
tor boz received deposits from most Of the
codolry banks, for the purpose Of redeeming
thc bills Of the latter at par in Boston On
the sums deposited, the Suffolk paid no inter-
est, but had the use of the money as COM
pcnsation for making the rcdcmptions for the
country banks The system has been highly
advantageous to tho banks and the people, In
various ways, and specially in keeping the
bank bills ot par: and the high appreciation
Of the Ncrmonters has been indicated by a
statute requiring all their banks to redeem in
Boston, or to pay penalty. This system
has been only great deal zee good for Me
Suffolk. II has made vast deal of money
by it; so the country banks have been per-
suaded that some way ought to be devised to
secure such services as that of the Suffolk
with a saving Of money TO themselves. Ac-
cordingly o plan was adopted, and the Bank
Of Mutual Redemption, located at Boston,
was chartered and organized. This Bank is

TRIUMPH OF THE STEAM PLow.


The State Board Of Agriculture Of Illinois
offered premium of 5000 for steam plows.
1t was expected that three different inventions
would be exhibited and tested at the State
Fair but only ono was on the ground. That
was Fawke's locomotive steam pillow, Lancas-
ter. Pa, which excited great interest among
the Prairie farmers, and performed we'll. The
machine and apparatus, with fuel and water,
weighs only about seven tuns, and by the use
of a drum or barrel shaped driver, for propel-
ling ;hc locomotive. the difficulty of miring
in soft soil and slipping on hard smooth
ground, is overcome The steam pillow Is
easily managed and is described az "A cross
between locomotive and tender, combining
the essential elements of both, mounted on
two guiding wheels and huge roller The
Chicago Press correspondent thus describes
the steam pillow performances
at draws six plows cutting foot each
attached in frame, and SO regulated by spi.
raj springs that they yield to any oxtraordi-
nary obstruction. As there was no stubblC
field near. it was concluded to make trial on
the uubroken prairie, This was now baked
so hard 10y drought that the prairie breaking
plows would not run in it, and the trial O
sod plows was abandoned in consequence
Notwithstanding this fact the inventor wa.
SO confident OF success that he gave the order

pervious soil. After little delay in rcgulat

IHE VICTORIA BRIDGE - This bridge,
which crosses the st. Lawrence a short way
above Montreal, will be one Of the grand
wonders Of the world. It was commenced
in July, 1854, and is under contract to be
completed in 1860. The total estimated cost
was originally about $1,000 900 but recent
ly the plans have been amended so as to re-
duce 1t to little over S6,000,0O0 The ex-
treme length of the bridge including the
abutment at each side will be 1000 feet, or
rather moae than mile and quarter. There
Will be twenty-six piers Of solid masonry sup
porting the iron superstructure of the bridge.
The center span will be three hundred and
nifty feet and the other spans each two humid
red and fifty feet, and the other spans each
two hundred and forty-two feet wide The
height of the center of the bridge is to be
sixty feet above the level of the water The
weight of iron in the tubes will be 5000
tuns, and the contents of the masonry 30
100000 cubic feet, when the whole structure
is finished

REPORT or THE PATENT OFFICE.

REPORT OF TIE PAIENT OFFICE.
One part only, (the mechanical of the
Report of the Patent Office for 1857, has yet
been published. OF this part, the House Of
Representatives ordered only one third of the
number of the previous report so that many
persons, who have heretofore been furnished
by their Representatives, must inevitably go
without the Report Of 1857 Those who
do not receive it may find the reason in this
fact We would have preferred to cut off less
valuable documents, and print more Of the
agricultural and mechanical but there was
difficulty enough in getting even the limited
number ordered.

We give, on the first page, very full re-
port of the Fair, which was held on Wedncs-
day and Thursday last--for which we ace

SpALprNa. Of this village. Whatever the
Fair may have been. compared with any pre-
ccding ones. the report of it is altogether the
best that has ever been furnished. As to the
Fair itself, we think that it has been more

Usually good indeed, the variety was sur
prisingly large, and the quality so good as to
warrant the farmers in making further attempts
f raise good apples Woodbury., Calais and
,larshfeld supplied all the apples exhibited
this year while heretofore Roxbury in this
County, and Bruintrce in Orange County,
have usually filled this department; and thus
Is indicated the fact that the high-ldnd toicns
are the best for apples. The repeated failures
in the valleys, as in this village for instance,
indicate the same fact. The articles OF
household manufacture were too few in
number, but very good. Specially remarka-
lie among the specimens of the skill of the
ladies', was the Lords Prayer, drawn with a
pen and beautifully adorned, by Miss A. r,
Davis Of Roxbury. This was far superior
TO any penmanship we have ever examined
and although it is said that Miss Davis is
amply qualified as teacher in various de-
partments of the High Schools, we think her
talent for drawing will find most ample and
profitable scope in the photographer drawing
room. We understand that she is dependent
upon her talent for her support, and is solicit
Gus for employment as a teacher
On the whole, this Fair could be improved
by a greater variety of good things, and We
hope the mex, will find more that will be
equally as good, and some even better.
