Cement for Aqueducts.

We have been shown by Mr.. Benz
Lyermore of Hariland, specimen of
cement pipe that be is now introducing
into this county. He claims 10 have
found method Of laying this material

distance. If It car be done, and We see
10 reason why it cannot, it is certainly
one of the great improvements of the
day. He certainly proposes TO DO hi.
business so as 10 assume all the risk II
there is any, as he offers to guaranty all
work done. Logs soon decay and need
repairs and relaying, and lead pipe TO say
the least of it, is open 10 many objections
that cannot be urged against cement. "A
general impression prevails in communi.
ty that lead pipe imparis deleterious prop.
critics TO water running through it.
We hope 10 see the matter thoroughly
tested, and if it Is what it is claimed to
be, we predict that it will soon be bro'l
into general use.
Mr.. Livermore states that in the tovr
OF HarIland where be first INTRODUCED
laying the pipe, there are now about on'
thousand rods in operation. and that sine,
adopting his present method be has no
had single failure.
Since writing the above we have beer
informed that Mr.. Charles Owen of thi
town has made arrangements with Dir
Liyermore The patentee, to attend to lay
ing cement aqueducts in this county
Mr.. Owen has had long experience il
working cement, and has laid in Chiiten
den county large amount of cemen
pipe. He is con6deu. by the new meth
cd Of laying, the work can be more rap
idly done, more sure of success and don
for less expense than by any metho,
heretofore used.

We are perfectly confident Of carry

sive majority. We shall have no aid
from the Breckinridgeites. They are
few and feeble, and their present policy
although they have a ticket in the field,
seems TO be to give the State to Douglas,
that the contest may be carried TO the
House. But our gains from the enemy
are many and important. We have alb
sorbed the Fillmore element 10 such an
extent that vote for Bell will be q vote
lost to Douglas. So you see We have g
clear field. and though D.'s friends will
fight with great desperation for the con-
troll Of the State. We shall drub them
soundly. We also regard Indiana az

MACHINE FOR MILKING Cows.-A very sue
cessful invention for milking cows was ex-
perimented with in Philadelphia, Tuesday
The Ledger says:
The machine is simple and easily worked
by children as well as adults. 1t consists of
two distinct single acting pumps, made in the
form of tin basins, placed with their bottoms
little distance apart Each pump has arub
ber head drawn over the end of the basin an d
turned in, and to each pump are attached two
metallic teat-cups. by elastic JOINTS SO as to fit
the distances apart of teats in different cows
In the bottom of each pump is single valve,
which closes when the suction is produced
and opens to discharge the milk in to the pail.
when the vacuum ceases. As the rubber
heads are drawn out by the levers, a vacuum
is produced which causes the milk to flow
into the pump; when they return to their po-
stions again, the milk passes out through the
valves, and all pressure on the teats ceases,
thus producing remitting suction in imi ia
ton of the natural suction of the calf BY the
use of these machines twelve quarts of milk
can be taken from cow in TWO minutes. A
number of the cows were put in the stable
yesterday, and milked out with these ma
Chimes to the perfect satisfaction of all who
witnessed the operation.
