THE REvIvAL.-The news from all narts of the country Is that the revival excitement is on the increase. The augmenting enthusiasm is especially observed in great cities. In New York it is the absorbing and over
 whelming "sensation'' of the day. The daily prayer meetings in that city are numbered by the dozen, and the attendance is multitudinous. In Philadelphia, Jaynes' vast Hall is thronged by thousands come up to prayers. From four to six thousand persons gather there daily. Yester- day, in this city, in the tall-steeple church, two thousand persons are es- timated to have assembled at the "bus- mess mems" prayer meeting. All our country exchanges give intelligence of the universality of the "great ava kening." There is agitation in ev- cry church of which we hear. The laymen seem to have assumed the leadership of the movement. Tho mass meetings in the churches for the purposes of prayer, and the incidents on these occasions, form the staple oi conversation to a remarkable degree Thereis 'fusion,' as we say in politics between the various Protestant sects. and the small points of doctrinal diff ference passed over.

G@@A gentleman of Philadelphia has invented a machine for folding newspapers. The machine is of iron and steel, and requires scarcely any power to drive it-say one fourth horse power-and is fed by one per son. It will fold from ffty-fve to sixty sheets per minute into mail Or carriers form, delivering them in fine order, packed straight and square, and so tightly that they occupy much less room in the mail. This is at the rate of from three thousand to thirty five hundred an hour. A rapid folder can only put up for the mail or in carrier form eight hundred to one thousand sheets an hour. The price of the machine is $900, and the space it occupies comparative small-being about one hundred cubic feet.
