Patent Vice.--The newly-invented
Vice now being manufactured and sold by
MEssRs. GRAY g. Co., of 81 Elm street, in this
city, is vast improvement upon the vices in
common use. The outer, or movable jaw,
runs upon two parallel screws, hence the turn
ing of the handle causes the entire jaw to
come out or move in equidistdnt in all its pdrts
| from the stationary jaw. By this arrange
ment there is secured (what the commen vices
| can not accomplish,) an eUen bite--a desidera-
tum long wished for by mechanics of every
class. The work being once secured in the
jaws of this powerful instrument, the operator
can increase the pressure of the jaws by means
of benutifnl contrivauce, as simple as it ia
useful: By Withdrawing catch or spring,
which works in what the inventor has denomi-
mated an independent hend," the turning of
| the handle ceases to affect the upper screw,
while it causes the lower one to revolve, thus
moving out the neither end of the outer jaw,
and so increasing the power of the gripe three
fold what it is by the parallel pressure.
The vices which we saw at Messrs. Gray &
Company's manufactory, yesterday, were
those of the largest kind, such as are used in
engine building, chipping, and all kinds
of heavy work. His large vice has a
seven inch face, is two and half feet
long, and weighs 1914 pounds. Mr.. Isaac
Straub speaks highly of this vice; he has had
one in use for some time, and is, therefore. able
to bear witness to its merits, which he does in
the following emphatic words: "I can assure
all those who need apowerful and superior vice
that if they buy yours (Gray Co.'s,) they will
never repent it." And he moreover states as
his opinion, that Mr.. Gray's improved vice
will put the old ones out of use. 1t is the in
vention of Mr.. G. A. Gray, Jr., and reflects
much Icredit upon his mechanical ingenuity.
1t is secured by patent.
Gray & Co. also manufacture machinst tools
of all kinds, such as Lathes, Racket Drills,
Taps, Dies, Storks, etc.
New Circus-Mr. Oscar Hyatt is now
actively engaged in organizing Circus Com
pany, to travel by railroad. He has already
engaged some of the best talent in the country,
besides a splendid stud of horses, which have
been bought without regard to cost. We pre-
dict for Mr.. Hyatt successful season. We
wish him all success, and we feel confident that
under the supervision of so experienced q
manager as Mr.. H., that success is sure. Our
citizens will, in few days, have test of theii
quality.

e Cocaine From the high respectability
and great skill of Mr.. BURNETT as a chemist
E we herald with pleasure the introduction o.
any thing coming from his hands. His cele'
brated toilet preparations have already ex'
S tended his popularity from one part of thu
Union to the other; and one result of thei
!, excellence is that those who use them one,
are always sure to give them the preference
as standard articles for the toilet. Aside from
l. their elegance, they are believed to be posi-
;, tive specifics for the purposes for which the,
u are mmended.-AhIeboro.
