IT. Henry Still invented, in this city, some
time 40, system for cutting shoes, Of al
kinds snd sisss, from measure, with maths-
natieal accuracy, which would perfectly 6t
the foot. We made notice OF il at the time.
II has since been worked out and prepared
for practical use, and in Mr.. Dukes shop
has been employed on ell varieties Of work,
with complete and uniform success. The
system il simple and easy Of comprehension,
and with IL shoe Of any kind can be cut in :
space Of time not covering over one or two
minutes, with the certainty Of an exact it,
With tho system before him, the shoemaker
can himself, with the utmost facility, cut .
series Of average patterns, for oil kinds Of
work, cut particular and peculiar patterns,
or cut out work directly. Singular readiness
Of application to oil kinds Of work, simplioi-
ty, and unvarying accuracy, are tho results
Of the invention. A patent right 10 TO be ap-
piled for ct once, and the invention brought
before the public. II would seem to rs, ~
it does to the msmbers OF the shoe-craft who
have examined and tested it, that it could
not fail Of proving very useful invention to
the. trade and very profitable one to the
owners.

proposed to BE- nsds with Thorn BY the Mayor
IA bshalf Of the City.
Mr. Reynolds said that under the ordinance
~ City would have 70 do something only
upon eoadision that the Company proceeded
- psrforn 10 part in getting up TO the point
OF junstios. The City eoald not give the
right d wsy below Osdss-se. and would not
undertake % do anything beyond. 1t was
sxpsstSd tAas The Conpany would meet the
City thsrs, and both parties would proceed
- work si.slbaasossly. No liability would
b incurred b The City unless the work pro.
sssdsd. Nwas moved to adopt tho ordi-
nance.
Mr. Hubbsll, before the question was put
wanted to hear from those who had objec.
tions to the ordinance.
Mr.. Haines said the City had no money
with which to fulfill the proposed contract
He would not hire lot Of men to work wher
he had no money to pay them with. III
thought the true policy Of tho City, for tn
present, vas to raise money for our necessa
n expenses, take care Of our improvements
{ and incur no expense that could be avoided
he had no doubt but that the road woult
hAys to be brought up farther into town, il
I - end. He Va willing to grant the Com
l psny the right to como up; bnt he was op
posed to ito coming up Fourth-st. or Thir'
street it was not the proper direction I
bring it up; to bring it up Rourth-st. was il
effect to establish the depot in its present po
sitioD, for tho principal frsights would no
be brought up to the Fourth-st. depot; :
bring coal, corn, eso. up there was impossi
BILE; the tariff would be too heavy. Besides
I, there was no knowing whether the Compan
would seeept the Contract, or undertake I
fulfill it. He regarded it = IN utterly i'm
practicable and ohimerical proposition.
