Single Machine.

-S
On Friday We saw a new Single Machine in
operation at the Machine Shop of Thornton &
Douglass, in this place. 1t was manufactured
by these gentlemen, for Messrs Calender &
Robbins, of Newton Falls.
1t does not rive the shingles, butsimply shaves
them, after they are %riven, thus making each
shingle as true with the grain as if shaved by
hand.
1t operates on very much the same principle
as those planning machines which have ~stationa-
~ knives, and the board is driven through be
tween or under them. In this machine, the
elapboard is forced between the knives by NOV
ing iron fingers, and as it passes between the
knives, they are gradually Appropriated, thus
giving a perfect taper to the single, on both
sides.
Attached to the machine, are knives for joint
ing, which work rapidly, ard do their work
we'll.
The machine cuts at the rate of about 90 per
minute, and will cut ten to fifteen thousand shin
giles per day, requiring two men to attend it.
1t is not necessary to steam the blocks, but any
kind of timber that is fit for shingles, is cut
without any other preparation, after irving it
into clapboards.
1t seems to us, that it is a very valuable labor
saving machine. In mechanical execution, it
is a credit to the establishmentof Messrs. Thorn
ton & Douglass, and TO the inventive genius of
the latter gentleman, Is the credit OF its %eficien-
cy, in a great measure, due.
Messrs. Calender d Robbins, will have one of
them in operation at Newton Falls, where it can
be ssen, and they are ready to sell to all who
may wish to purchase.

Number of Births in this County, for the year,

May squalls have overtlken the domestic rela-
tiOns of Old Trumbull, but last year was & cry

baby record. In Hartford one cOOred boy was

these y0ung suckers be making about this time,

o the dignity of nothing. Everything comes
from nothing. 647 new citizens coming up from
nothing, in a twinkling.
Old Ladies tell Us. that the period of our birth
is generally marked with circumstances that
have a visible aad important Influence on our
future success in life, but the Trumbull Record
neglects to mention how many were born on
Friday. or how many during the New Noon, so
that no reliable prognostIcations can bemade as
to the future good luck of these new immigrants;
for in such calculations the situations of the
Planets, at the moment when the youngstsFs
first respired the breath of life, should be UeTy
specific. Neither does the Record mention how
many were born with teeth, or how many with
gold spoons in their mouths. Many defects in
that record.
These 637 youngsters are consecrateI from
the cradle for the purpose of greatness merely be-
cause their accidental birth happened in Old
Trumbull. Have patience gentle reader, and
mark the correctness of our prognostigations-

they can creep into quart measures. We don't

.DLESS THE MEMORY OF THE

declaring. that I have not been Obliged to suppress =
letter or a line for the sake OF his Eae;' so writes DR..
ELDER, of Philadelphia, in his biography Of the cele-
brated ELISHA KENT KANE.

was not to write 4 rsrie1 Of DR.. kane's writings, bus
a memoir Of the man, which might serve to make his
readers personally acquainted with him." and to-thiS
simple object he has addressed himself with u consci-
entiOUs enthusiasm. The result is 10 mere localized
portrait of the man whom the world wishes to know,
hut a warm and truthful likeness. conceived in love.
and with the whole heart in the hand through all the
rapid miracle Of its execution There is a freshness
and vitality in the performance which yoali have
been absent from a more stalled effort; and IL the tone
Of literary collOquialism pervading il. al times departs
from the severeSt models. ii is certainly not out Of
keeping with tbs design OF 2 writer whose high voca-
tioE it is to combine popular Instruction with phi;o-
sophical enteFtainneZt.
In addition to the Biography proper. the work is
enriched with an Appendix. containing letters Of rer-
sonal recollection from three of the survivors Of Dr.
kane's party, together with the "Obsequies." prepared
by direction Of the City Courci's OF Philadelphia. ass

which a nation conducted him to his tomb. This eOr-
