The Winchester Home Journal is panied to learn

half dozen aliases, came 10 that town riding
horse which he appeared anxious to sell BE re-
manned in town, or in the neghbOrhOOd that night.
The next day he employed suctioneer to sell the

We have been shown, by the agent in this city a
invention for securing hoops on iron-ied cotton
1t is called the "Ingersol Hoop Lock" and, we be-
lieve, is acknowledged to be superior to anything
yet invented. Il is simple convenient, and perfect

Memphis appeal
The Savannah Republican urges very serious OBJ
jections to this mode of putting up Cotton bales
that is, with iron hOops-snd it may be that the in
venlisu referred to BY our Memphis contemporary
will remedy the objections urged by the former.
The Republican says: '0n a recent visit to the
Cotton Presses, we could but remark the inconven-
ience danger and loss Of time incurred By securing
cotton bales with hoop iron. 1t is more difficult to
unlOose than rope; Ratchet is used TO knock loose
aud the sparks occasionally fly of in such prOfusOn
that an inhansble material like cotton is in great
danger of igniting. After the hoops are taken off
they are Of very rfing value and the owner Of the
cotton is charged 49, for nsv ropes. This must
operate materially against the Introduction Of hoop
iron for baling and without these difficulties be
overcome we see no other result but return to the
old plan Of rOping If the bales packed in the
same screw and all the same size serious obstacle
would be avoided, as the iron could then be cut in
proper lengths, and the clsps placed readily upon
one end, but as at present, bale Of four hundred
mounds follows into the Press one Of six hundred
pounds or Uies vsrsa, and everything has to stop,
and ten or twelve hands be kept waiting until the
iron is clipped to the right length After the pres
sure is removed and the strain comes on the iron,
there is great danger in standing near, as it is fire.
quenty weak and flies spartwith such violence SIS
would cause serious injury to any one that may be
within reach. This may appear incredible, but when
doubters reflect that the bale reduced by the Press
to one half the bulk given to it by the planter, it
win not appear so very unreasonable. We noticed
ct one Press that galvanized wire had been used,
but hardly to any extent sufficient to test it. ."
