An Ingenious Machine Revolution in
Match Making.

On the invitation of the propr etcr and invon-
tor, we called at the Foundry Of Messrs. Head,
Campbell 81 Head, on Tuesday last to see the
operation of new Match making Machine that
has just been perfected'and set in motion. The
inventor is Mr.. ALEXANDER UNDERWOOD, of
this city, who has been for some time past per-
fecting it. We have seldom seen more ingen-
ious piece of mechanism set in motion than this.
We are not much of mechanic, and could not
if we should attempt to, give an Ineligible de-
scription of the machine, but we can tell
what it does. 1t is driven by steam power.
The raw material is fed in the shape of long
bleclS'saw into the requisite shape From
this the best of round friction matches come out
of the machine, in neat boxes, at the rate Of
$4,000 boxes per day. The matches are cut
from the block, taken upon rack dipped into
the phosphorus, carried upon the rack until
they are dried, then dipped in the sulphur and
carried again upon the rack until this is dried,
then vanished and again carried until the var
isldry, and finally boxed-50 matches in box
and the boxrs carried off and deposited in the
receptacle prepared for that purpose. And all
this is done by the machine without the inter.
venton of human hands, and as we have before
said, at the rate Of $4,000 boxes per day!
Every one imagine the complsxity O.
machinery and various motions that must be
combined 10 produce all these results, but nc
one can imagine the apparent simplicity ant
naturalness of the working of the whole. INIT
he has seen it in operation. This is the great
est gift Iof mechanical genius-to select ani
apply the simplest mechanical laws to produce
the most complex and wonderful results.
Mr.. GEORGE P. SHERMAN, of this city has
associated! himself theinventor, to put the m,
chine into practical operation in some of the larg
er commercial centres of the country, for tn,
manufacture of matches on a scale commensurate
with the capacities Of the machine. Weunder
stand that steps have already been taken to Sc
cure the patent right in England and Franc,
and other Europ can countries.

Crops IN Neao E,eg1asd-Notwith-
standing the wet season, the prospect
for abundant crops of every description,
in the New England states, never was
better. Everything is growing most
luxuriantly. Nor will the crops be la
ter than usual. The recent warm wealth
er, accompanied with frequent showers,
is highly favorable. The yield Of grass
will probably be greater than ever be-
fore. Corn and potatoes, the great sta
pie of the North, will also be abundant.
Fruit Of all kinds promises heavy pro-
duction. The farmers are now able to
obtain their help at reasonable prices,
and i'll view Of all the prospects before
them, anticipate a golden harvest.-N

The ndance yesterday at the Sab

Bristol, was the largest ever seen on a
similar occasion in the County. Be
tween seven and eight hundred Sab
bath School scholars, teachers and 9TH
ers, went out on the cars from the city,
and as great number, or more, came
in from different towns of the county.
Tables amply provisioned were spread
i'll pleasant grove, and no effort APP
peared to be spared to make the enter
tainnent agreeable to the children, as
well as to the older persons. Much
credit is due to the friends of Sabbath
Schools in the country for their consid-
crate attention to the comfort of all. AT
ter the refreshments, addresses were de-
livered by the Rev. Mr.. Pillsbury, of Ra-
cine, Rev. Mr.. Smith, and Rev. Mr..
Hanson of this city. Among the schools
present beside the Kenosha schools,
were Pleasant Prairie, North Bristol,
Cypress, Wesley Chapel, Union Liber-
ty, Marion, Plank Road (near Fowler's,)
Paris, and perhaps others. Nearly OF
quite all of the schools carried appro-
pirate banners. The day was delight

DOC DAYs.-Our city authorities hav e
commenced the war upon all dogs run
ming at large in the city, unmuzzled.-
We have noticed number of unfortu-
nate ours since Monday last, that gave
evidence Of having "loved beef not
wisely but too WELL" Dogs, as a gen
eral thing, in the city are an unmitiga-
ted nuisance, and it is necessary to
make an annual slaughter, or they would
soon overrun our streets, even if there
was not the danger Of their running
mad.
Farmers coming into town, who
have dogs worth keeping would do well
to leave them at home, while the dog
ordinance is in force, or else have
them muzzled.
g8@ We have taken pains to make
inquiry of farmers from various sections
Of this county in respect to prospect of
the wheat crop, and regret to learn the
prevailing opinion is that the wheatis not
as promising as in former years. Of
course we hear various opinions; in some
Localities it bids fair for good crop, in
others, it is rather discouraging.

Last year the harvest was considerably

is generally succession of two or three
years in that country wherein the crops
are above or below an average, and

first voyages probably ever made or
Lake Michigan by any white men. The
exploration of Lake Michigan was by

will be found on the first page of this
paper.
