The NEW FREvcu WHEELBARRow.-
The new vheelbarrow, which is worked By
the men employed to repair the damages oc-
casioncd by the ff's. in the gardens of the
Iuieries, is attracting much attention. The
novelty of the machine conoists in the two
legs of the barrow being replaced by two
wheels, smaller than the one in front, and
which are fixed Immediately under the body
Of the barrow. The handles are raised so
Is to be on level with the hands Of the
workman; and thus, upon level road
slight push is all that is necessary for the
Of the heaviest load. The three
wheels being almost close together, the act of
urning the barrow in the smallest space be-
omes as easy as possible. The workman has
,ut TO lean upon one Of the handles, and the
ront wheel is lifted from the ground, leaving
he barrow free to be manUuyred like a com
non handcart.
