MARYLAND INSTITUTE FAIR.-Mr. J.. Wright of
Newark, N. j., has on exhibition three pieces of
wood working machinery of the most useful and
practical XII nd. patent scroll saw attracts much
attention. The superiority of this machine consists
first, IN the ease and certainty with which the saws
adjusted to their place. by slipping the ends into
the cross head; the mode of strainng the saw by a
spring, which gives clear table for saving work
OF any length; the saw and spring being attached
to different sized pueys, permits the saw to have
all the stroke required while the spring only moves
onethird of the distance By this arrangement,
the spring may have any degree of strength neces-
sary, and will vibrate much more rapidly than if it
was required to traverse the same distance the saw
moves. There is also a revolving guide block
which receives any class of saws and holds them
hrmly. This machine is one of the most practical
bic and useful exhibition, and Messrs Stevens &
Son, and Messrs. Hayward, Bartlett & Co., of this
city, have each purchased one of them. Mr..
wright has also exhibition a circular saw of
great merit. The framework is of iron, and the
top OF 1t can be adjusted with much The prin-
cipal feature of this machine is a new guide board
combining the bevel adjustment with that of the
plane. This board moves by means of a patent
screw which is instantaneous in its action and will
hold the timber firmly in its parallel position to the
saw. The wood workers of the city have seen the
advantage of this machine, and some ten or twelve
have purchased the right to the patent guide
board He has also an improved cutoff saw. The
most noticeable feature about this machine is the
entire absence of friction which is obviated by the
us9 of rockers, instead of the usual sliding ma
chnery. There are different other improvements
each OF which add much to the practical working
of the machine. The capacity Of the saw is 500
revolutions per minute
